I think this train of thought is best saved for a thread dedicated towards Nasuverse lore, not a monthly contest thread.

CLASS SKILLS
Magic Resistance: B+
The capacity to negate or abate the effects of magecraft. Negates magecraft invoked with an aria of three verses or less. It is difficult to injure him even with high-thaumaturgy.
True Name Exposure: A+
A special trait of the “Ruler” Class. Instantly grasps all the information – such as True Name・skills・Noble Phantasm – regarding a Servant one has directly encountered. While a LCK check is still required in regards to Servants with camouflage abilities, its chance of success is high thanks to the support of his Innate Discernment skill.
Divine Decision: -
This skill has been lost in exchange for the Noble Phantasm.

PERSONAL SKILLS
Chilling Effect: -
A super rare minus skill. Heroic Spirits usually manifest in the figure of their golden age, but such a privilege has been forfeited for this man.
Incidentally, the reason for why one would be burdened by this differs from person to person, with the most common example being a byproduct of the image held by later people (something falsely similar to Innocent Monster). This man is an exceptional case, as his own feelings of self-condemnation are playing a greater role regarding this instead.
Innate Discernment: A
The ability to perceive the true nature of things. His sharp eyes for observations will not overlook any sort of information. Although their principles are completely different, this can read into the future in a way that is similar to the future prediction of Clairvoyance.
Presence Detection: C
By sensing their presence, one can perceive the circumstances・environment within the effective range. It also negates Presence Concealment of the same rank, provided that the target is at a short distance.
An ability that he obtained later in life. As a side effect of spending many years completely blind, all of his other senses (sixth sense・paranomal perception included) became extremely sharp. In addition, since he cannot see, his Innate Discernment and True Name Exposure skills work while employing this as a medium.
Tragic Fate: EX
A skill that sublimated Oedipus’ lot in life. At the occasion of his birth, a prophecy was delivered that he would bring a calamity to his homeland. Although Oedipus himself and many others endeavored to prevent this, several circumstances, coincidences, human deeds and even divine interventions ended up hindering those efforts. In a sense, it was almost like the universe itself conspired to fulfill that prophecy.
Something falsely similar to “Revelation”; Oedipus will receive an oracle regarding his future upon manifesting as a Servant. From that point on, he becomes effectively cursed to walk in the path that will lead to the predicted future. A jinx of the highest grade that can even twist destiny itself, but shouldering this means that one is also being protected from all factors that may cause him to stray from the path that has already been prepared for him.
Its effects as a skill is to provide complete immunity against curses and the likes (his Magic Resistance has also been greatly improved as a byproduct). Furthermore, this is effectively replacing his LCK parameter. “Plot armor” at its finest.
Vitrification: B
A calm state of mind. A mental protection that negates interference to one's mental health.
Remaining unperturbed even in face of death. While he may have lost the heroic qualities of his youth, Oedipus obtained a different kind of “strong heart” in his old age.
if his younger self
NOBLE PHANTASM
Oidipous Tragoidia – Headlong Rush of Calamity
Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Army
A chariot driven by a pair horses. At the same time, a Noble Phantasm that sublimated Oedipus’ way of life. Plundered from King Laius’ dead body, obtaining this chariot signaled the beginning of his tragedy. Consequentially, this became a Noble Phantasm while bearing the definition of a “carrier of calamity (Oedipus)” that brings misfortune to wherever it goes.
The two stallions that drive this chariot are purebreds whose lineage is related to the Theban royalty. Their overall performance is quite high for ordinary animals, comparable to low ranking magical beasts. Although they cannot run across the skies or in the sea, they have the capacity to perfectly evade all obstacles in the field.
A high-speed charge attack can be performed by releasing the True Name. Two separate attack rolls are performed: one for the horses’ hooves and one for the chariot’s wheels. Furthermore, even if a direct hit is avoided, those caught in the path of this charge must be successful on a LCK check in order to avoid being struck by the ominous aura emitted by the chariot. Those who fail will become cursed, suffering from all sorts of misfortunes so long as this chariot and its master remain in the world.
Frankly speaking, this chariot’s raw destructive power is not all that high for an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. Its true worth lies in the lingering collateral damage caused by the curse. When you consider that said damage can spread way beyond the bounds of the original battlefield, this may even fit in the Anti-Fortress or Anti-Country classifications.
Sphingo Ainigma – Primordial Mystery Solving
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit
Oedipus’ Anti-Unit, Anti-Mystery Noble Phantasm. A right of absolute command over existences that live in mystery. The sublimation of the anecdotes about his encounter with the sphinx.
According to legends, Oedipus defeated the Theban Sphinx by correctly answering the riddle that it presented. However, there are diverging theories on the exact outcome of said confrontation. Some said that the Sphinx was greatly weakened when the riddle was solved, allowing for Oedipus to slay it by force of arms. Others say that it became ashamed in being outwitted by a human, committing suicide soon after. And some say it yielded to the hero's superior intellect, accepting him as its master.
The ability to establish one’s authority over existences such phantasmal species and spiritual beings by correctly disclosing their identity. His power over them increases in proportion to how well he manages to discern their disposition・nature. Depending on the circumstances, it might even be possible for him to employ them as his familiars; this is the main factor that allows him to manifest in the Caster Class even though he is not exactly a magus.
...in addition, due an influence from the special traits of the Ruler Class, he can also employ this against other Servants. Merely knowing their True Name is already enough to allow him to plunder the Master rights over them and bestow the average coercive force of a Command Spell to all of his orders. Should he come to fully understand their thoughts, ideologies and personal circumstances, he will be able to exert a mental interference akin to a type of brainwash. However, as an exception, this ability does not work on those endowed with high-ranking Divinity.
Eumenides Katharsis – Inherited Will of the Tragic Hero
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Unit
The last resort of Heroic Spirit Oedipus. The sublimation of the anecdotes regarding his final moments. As such, activation only becomes possible when he is on the verge of disappearing.
A transference of power to the individual who attends to him at his deathbed. Both normal humans and other Servants can be made a target of this. Many conditions play a role in determining how much power will be inherited but, in extreme cases, a Servant might undergo a Class Change while a human may become a kind of Pseudo-Servant.

Class Skills:
Territory Creation- EX
The ability to formulate a territory advantageous to oneself as a Magus. Through Caster's Noble Phantasm, creation of a "Sunken Castle Burtnieku" superior to a "Temple" becomes possible.
Item Construction- B
The talent to craft magical items. By putting her old Paganistic knowledge to use Caster can craft various kinds of enchanted artifacts and Mystic Codes.
However it seems she favors making good-luck charms and other such trinkets to give her to her beloved.
Personal Skills:
Songs Of Creation- A
A power to evoke the effects of thaumaturgy through means other than orthodox incantation; in Caster's case, song. A composite Skill that includes the effects of High-Speed Divine Words and Alluring Nightingale at the same rank. At this rank, Caster's singing voice can evoke mysteries from close to the World's genesis, giving her nearly unrivalled power.
However since Caster needs to sing to cast spells, she can easily be interupted if the opponent attacks her in the middle of a verse. Several of Caster's spells/songs are listed below as follows:
Spells
Wisdom Of- BBurtniekiAncient Scholars
A Skill that demonstrates the wisdom of the Burtnieki, the ancient scholars of Latvia. As the only ones who could read and write, the Burtnieki devoted themselves to preserving the knowledge and mysteries of the past. Caster's father was one of the last of the Burtnieki, before they were wiped out by invading Christianity, and he passed down his knowledge to her.
Attesting her status as one who inherited knowledge of mysteries from a previous era, this Skill bestows Caster advantage in all Magecraft and discernment-related checks.
Golden Rule (Body)- C
Connotes possession of a natural and perfect goddess-like body, preserving beauty. While her husband Lacplesis personified the soul of Latvia's people, Caster embodied the land itself, the fertile earth that nourished her people in abundance. As such Caster boasts a beautiful and voluptuous figure that exemplifies "the prosperity of the earth". Although she was never properly deified, in that sense Caster's existence is exceedingly close to a nature goddess.
Noble Phantasms
So I finally came up with an entry to the contest. This is intended as a compliment to my old Lacplesis sheet. Her legend is pretty sparse/obscure so I had to get creative coming up with interesting Skills and NPs for her, but I think I did pretty well. As usual comments and critiques would be welcome. Thanks for reading!

Creator Notes:
So my first posted sheet in a few months and it’s a wanky one. I know I know but I’ve done worse before. I absolutely love the relationship between Britomart and Arthegall in the Faerie Queene and this was my first idea for the love contest.
Some justifications, Champion on Horseback is based not he fact that Britomart only ever really came close to defeat when Arthegall forced her off of horseback or fighting Radigund on the ground and all other times she basically one shots people from the back of her horse. I found some places that said her spear could magically unseat riders kind of like the trap of Argalia and was considering making her have just an older version of it (especially because she is based on Bradamante the same way Arthegall is Arthur) but when reading through the text I couldn’t find anything about that (although it is a dense text so I may have missed it.)
Instead I found that it was made by king Bladud and went in a rabbit hole about him. The final version of Hebne Speare was as a way to incorporate the theme of Britomart and Arthegall being mirror of each other, a big part of the text, by giving her a mystery defying Noble Phantasm like I gave to my Arthegall.
Lastly Britomart, Arthegall, and Amoret are a throuple because I want them to be and Scudamore is a jerk who doesn’t deserve Amoret.

My Servant Compendium
Ever wonder what a Holy Grail War set in Texas would be like? Well wonder no longer because here is:
Fate Texas Night
Become Naunet the next leader of the Atlas Institute and fight your way to the top of a deadly war.
Say cooldownnow, will you be doing anymore characters from Faerie Queene in the near future?
I really want to try and make a Guyon or Calidore sheet since they have a really unique relationship to the ideas of heroism but I have a handful of other ideas that I’ve already started on so they’re a bit on the back burner. And of course I want to try to figure out how to make a good Amoret sheet but right now all I have for her is that she’s be a caster.
So not really any in the near future.

Class Skills:
Independent Action
The ability that allows for action even in the absence of a Master.
- B: It is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for two days without a Master. However, this is the ideal value achieved by maximally conserving mana and avoiding battle and Noble Phantasm usage. Despite his subdued distaste for overt individualism, Archer operates best when employing hit-and-run tactics at a distance from his Master, so this Skill proves a valuable boon.
Magic Resistance
Grants protection against magical effects.
- E: By the time of his birth, Mystery was already thin in Archer's time. Even low-rank spells have a chance of succeeding without being rejected. Really, it's a pittance provided by his class container.
