Pretty sure I remember finding one back in the old thread once.Originally Posted by Bird of Hermes
*looks back* ...Or maybe not. I think I got her confused with Tamar the Great.
Oh... Well, if I understood things correctly
Spoiler:
Well, it's understandable. Only reason I learned so much about WWII besides it being probably the most unforgettable moment in human history is because my country was a Nazi puppet state that committed a lot of atrocious shit for Hitler during WWII so we get the a lighter version of the German educational system. Can't have any Neo-Nazis running around after all.
The only acceptable faceclaim
Ah, yeah. I did read about that actually, but I wasn't thinking of it at all when writing up the sheet.
It's just a generic meteor in my mind, though you're free to imagine it as something in specific if you want.
I wanted to write her up, but I still have other Servants I want to write and I'm lazy as it already is so I think I'll let someone else do the first Catherine sheet
I see. Was just the first thing that came to my mind when I saw that part of your sheet.
If anyone could do a good sheet on her it's you, I considered it but my attempts were quite uninspired so I scrapped it.
Also, Drunk Berserker Roland when?

Flattery, is it? Well, it works. I guess I can do her as my next Servant just for you. Almost done finishing up a dragon-rider Servant so I'll start on her afterwards. Don't want to burn through all the WWII figures I had in mind immediately anyway.
As for Zerker Roland, perhaps soon. I've been itching to do a Matter of France Servant, only reason I haven't done one yet is because there's so many good sheets done on them.
Double-posting.... again.

Source: (X)
Class: Rider (Alternatively Ruler or Caster)
True Name: Saint Romanus of Rouen
Alias: St. Romain
Alignment: Lawful Good
Origin: Legend of St. Romain
Region: France
Height/Weight: 168cm/48kg
Gender: Female
Likes: God, bravery, a good fight
Dislikes: Demons, disaster, lustful individuals
Talent: Fighting monsters (be it demons or dragons), creating miracles
Natural Enemy: La Gargouille
Attribute: Sky
Traits: Human
Armament: Romanus' armament consists of a regular sword, an armour set crafted out of mana and a huge battle cross similar to the one carried by Saint Martha, fitting for a bishop of the Church. Though the sword looks artistically beautiful in appearance, it's a normal sword she obtained during her time as the Chancellor of France working under the King's court. It's durability is enough to cut through the skin of demons and not break upon clash with actual Noble Phantasms, but her preferred style of battle is more so smashing everything into submission with her more blunt battle cross staff that she carries with her.
Catalyst: Due to being a legendary Heroic Spirit with little historical value, obtaining any personal belongings of hers to use as a catalyst would be difficult. To be perfectly honest, a more viable catalyst to use for her direct summoning would perhaps be a part of the stained glass windows or the south gate located in the Rouen Cathedral that depict episodes of Romanus' life. Another usable catalyst would be the stained glass windows of the église Saint-Godard. Procuring said catalyst from the Holy Church is, however, another matter.
Class skills:
Magic Resistance: (A)
Measures one's capability in defending against attacks or weapons containing magical properties. It is a different skill from resisting magical energy, as it cancels spells all-together. At this rank, it is entirely possible to cancel spells of A rank or below, regardless of what form of high-thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is essentially untouchable by modern Magi and can therefore be called an effective ''Magus Killer''. As someone who's lived in a time when full-scale battles of Magecraft and rampaging demons were not an uncommon sight, Romanus herself has developed an extremely high resistance against Magic through her own adventures. Having fought demons numerous times during her life, she is experienced when it comes to dealing with trickery Magic in particular. More-so, because the most famous episode of her legend was a fight between herself and a powerful fire-breathing dragon, her Magic Resistance is the highest possible. The same rank as Saint Martha's.
Riding: (A+++)
Measures one's ability to use vehicles and beasts as mounts. On this level, it is not only possible to utilize vehicles and animals with far above average skill, but rather, even members of the Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast kind can be used as effective mounts. With a rank higher than the average Rider, Romanus' most exceptional aspect of this skill is her ability to command even creatures on the level of Dragon kind as a mount. Her legend is famous for having tamed a fearsome, fire-breathing dragon that was hiding and attacking people at the side of a river located in Rouen. A '+' modifier is granted to this skill due to her ability to ride Dragon kind capable of flight rather than just ground dragon kind - which is the rank Saint Martha possesses for her capability of taming Tarasque. Because of this, aerial warfare is an area where Romanus absolutely dominates with the help of her Noble Phantasm.
Personal skills:
Saint: (B)
A skill granted to those that have been acknowledged as a Saint. Upon their summoning as a Servant, they are granted a privilege of the Saint which allows them to pick one from the four following effects; "raising the effectiveness of sacraments", "automatic HP recovery", "1 Rank-Up to Charisma" and "production of a holy shroud is possible". In Romanus' case, her preferable pick will most likely be automatic HP recovery so she could continue leading a fearsome battle against her foes and subsequently beat them into submission with her holy cross. This skill is granted to Romanus due to her recognition as a Saint by both the Eastern Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church. As the Archbishop of Rouen, her legend is infamous in France where a fair cult based around her is located and a feast day in her name exists.
Baptism Sacrament (False): (A)
A type of Magecraft which changed it's form to fit the style of the Holy Church. It is most effective when utilized on spiritual bodies in particular. Romanus herself was famed for dealing with condemned spirits in life and further leading fights against members of the demon kind. Though this is not known to many, but the truth is that what Romanus is utilizing isn't truly a form of baptist sacraments. Rather than that, her success in defeating demons laid in a more obscure, special form of Witchcraft she utilized to repel the demons' curses back at them with more effectiveness than they initially had. A counter-form of Witchcraft she invented to effectively battle demonic magic used by her enemies. Though she herself likes to refer to it as a form of Baptism Sacrament. It was because of this method that she exorcised many demons during her travels and battles at Pagan temples.
Divine Protection: (A)
A form of divine protection that gives the user the quick-wittedness and the brute strength needed to defeat beasts unaided. In practice, it raises the effectiveness of the user when dealing with demonic individuals. To put it in simpler terms, due to being under protection of personal Angels, Romanus is entirely immune against attacks based on mental interference that usually cases one to fall to temptations - an effective antibiotic to illusions casted by demons so to say. Additionally, it grants them a rank up in STR when dealing with beasts. In Romanus' case - as previously mentioned - she is under the complete protection of angelic spirits that repel mental interference. The acquirement of this skill stems from an episode of Romanus' legend in which a poor old woman requested help from Romanus and she - feeling something was off, but not desiring to renege her duties of hospitality - allowed her entrance inside her home.
Once inside, the old woman revealed her true form as a demon and when done so, Romanus asked the Lord for his protection which resulted in an angel intervening and throwing the demon into a bottomless pit. On a side, it might be worthy to note that the reason for skill's effectiveness might be Romanus' deep pious behaviour which resulted in countless days spent in nothing but prayer. In regards to the Holy Grail War, Romanus - who has been ressurected as a Servant by the Holy Grail - does not contain any wish to request from the Grail nor does she consider herself to be a vessel to the soul of her original - but rather, she is the instrument of God himself. She doesn't mind this existence, and she is fully content with being once again in the service of her lord while feeling the joy of adventurous battle.
Miracle: (C+)
A 'miracle' that makes the impossible into possible. Although it has similarities with the skill Pioneer of the Stars, it is essentially different in what it can be applied to. For an example, while Pioneer of the Stars denotes the user's sheer talent and capability in making difficult voyages considered impossible to complete result in possible success, the skill Miracle is more supernatural in the things it applies to. In short, it's a miracle that through mysterious, supernatural methods completes a task that is otherwise deemed as impossible - such as reviving dead men and healing the sick and injured. For Romanus, who was considered a renowned miracle maker during her life, there are various things she can apply this skill to.
To name a case, if she is given the pieces of a entirely shattered weapon or anything material in nature that is deemed irreparable due to the sheer damage it has taken, Romanus is able to brought it back to a perfect state before it was broken as if it weren't broken in the first place so long as she has a piece of said material. This does not apply to physical material only since for her, it is also possible to entirely restore the magical properties or spiritual contents of an object she repairs. It's a skill she gained from an episode in her legend in which she miraculously repaired a broken vase containing the holy chrism after it had been shattered and it's contents spilled. Another example of the scenario in which she can apply this skill would perhaps be when dealing with natural disasters. By reciting a prayer, she can please and calm down mother nature, stopping the advance of any flood or powerful storm just like in life when she commanded a river to fall down in order to avoid a flood.
Fort Raider: (B)
Measures one's skill in fighting in conditions in which one is treated as an attacker against an enemy hiding behind the walls of a temple or a fortress, essentially a raider on enemies holding down the fort. Raises basic battle performance and ranks up physical stats by one rank when leading an attack against enemy territory. Particularly for Romanus, she excels at destroying enemy territory protected by a Divine being different from that of her own god. In her legend, Romanus was known for her continuous raids on temples and fortresses that were built in reverence to Roman and other form of Gods. Because of this, she often clashed with demons and beasts that guarded the fort. As far as her skill as a raider goes, she is confident that she could raid and defeat the extremely powerful demon chief of Mt. Ooe - Shuten douji - in her own territory, but it can also be said that this is only a statement out of pure self-confidence...

Romanus: A pretty creative Servant with a fun personality. I like your take on her Baptism Sacrament (False) and her first NP adds some flavor beyond being 'just' a dragon-rider. Honestly, with her outrageously optimistic and cocky, yet cute personality it sounds like she'd easily become a fan-favorite in any anime she were to show up in.
Wonder how she'd get along with my Don Quixote, given that they seem at least somewhat similar personality-wise? (Both cheerful hyper-confident girls with a love for adventure)
Dang, this is a pretty powerful Servant. The sheet is pretty nice, as per usual. A few notes, though. Firstly, you referred to Witchcraft as Withcraft a few times. I'm not one to talk when it comes to that stuff, but that one really stood out to me, and seemed like a pretty easy fix. Secondly, is this a genderbend, or not? I'm not familiar with them so idk.
Also, what is this:
It's cool looking, but how did you make it? Is there a program or something?
Lastly, you've reminded me to look into Saints. Between this and Ail Don's Loch Ness Monster guy, it seems like there is some crazier stuff going on there than I had previously realized.
They'd get along very well due to their mutual cheerful personalities and love for adventureous battle like you mentioned. I'd imagine their friendship would be more of a rivalry than anything also, since they'd likely try to pick fights with one another all the time due to their mutual self-confidence and love for fights.
How do I not notice those typos lol. Thanks, I'll fix them. And yeah, I'm guilty as charged. It's a genderbend, mostly because I wanted to use that faceclaim and couldn't really find a better looking one. As for the parameters pic, I just make that in a few seconds in Paint net. I already said this to Ail Don, but if anyone really wants to use that they can go ahead and copy it or if they don't know how to make their version of it, just pm me or something with the stats you want and I'll make it in a second whenever I see the message.Dang, this is a pretty powerful Servant.

Another well made and entertaining sheet, nice job. I'm a little reminded of my own Saint Margaret sheet in made in the old thread with similar skills and everything but dragon riding saints are a select niche, I wonder how they'd get along or what would happen in a grail war with the pair like Apocrypha. The first NP adds a lot of flavour to her alongside Miracle and the false Baptism Sacrament skill. And she has a fun personality too.
I look forward to Catherine the Great since you said you'd have a go.

Also I've started work on Aeneas, may post him this year depending on my workload and if I can shorten the Aeniad into a suitable lore section. I may need help from alcohol to abridge it.

Finally got a chance to edit in the second Noble Phantasm, decided to do something with Joyeuse to make it better.
My Servant Comepndium
Make Middle-Earth great again!
Is there any particular reason why Joyeuse's poison targets eyes specifically?
Since from what I could find is that the sword blinded people by being extremely bright so I figured it would be a good idea to make it fully Joyeuse-Inversed
My Servant Comepndium
Make Middle-Earth great again!
Excuse me but I thought riding a dragon is a separate skill from Riding?

Talents: Not being very effective
Natural enemy: Cu Chulainn
Attribute: Sky
Traits: Female, Divine, Human
Armament: Nothing
Class Skills:
Territory Creation: (B)
Territory Creation is a Caster-class skill. It is the skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus.
Creation of a "Workshop" becomes possible.
Item Construction: (B)
Item Construction is a Caster-class skill. It is the skill to manufacture magical items.
At this rank, Caster is capable of producing items that carry definitive magical power. As she was never known to have created anything physical in her life, Caster would ordinarily be awarded with a much lower rank in this skill. Due to protestations that she merely wasn’t trying all of that time, it’s been raised.
Personal Skills:
Combination: (EX)
Combination is a Skill that displays how much one's combat power increases when on a united front with a specific person.
At this rank, Caster has ceased functioning as an individual who gains buffs when exposed to another individual and has become a “collective of individuals”. A [three-in-one], Caster is actually three people that have forgone their personal identities for that of a single encompassing title. Although not usually summonable in a Grail War in the first place, it is impossible to summon Caster without this Skill.
Usually appearing as a single woman, Caster can also appear as two or three. While this doesn’t change the effectiveness of the skill, it does split her multiple personalities into (possibly) easier to comprehend separate parts. Caster will, however, continue to speak through all three bodies as if they were still one, which is creepy. As three bodies, no matter how severe the battlefield, they are intrinsically aware of the best course of action to take around each other due to their hivemind. While it’s marginally possible to summon the individual aspects alone, the nature of Caster’s combination doesn’t affect the Noble Phantasm.
Shapeshifting: (A)
Shapeshifting refers to both borrowing bodies and appearance change. A method used by the millenary spirits of foxes and badgers of China that are put on par with Tamamo-no-Mae. It is also one of the powers of a vampire.
Caster’s earliest narrative appearances, in which she is depicted as an individual, are in stories of the Ulster Cycle, where she has an ambiguous relationship with the hero Cú Chulainn. In Táin Bó Regamna, Cúchulainn encounters Caster, but does not recognise her, as she drives a heifer from his territory. In response to this perceived challenge, and his ignorance of her role as a sovereignty figure, he insults her. But before he can attack her she becomes a black bird on a nearby branch. Cúchulainn now knows who she is, and tells her that had he known before, they would not have parted in enmity. She notes that whatever he had done would have brought him ill luck. To his response that she cannot harm him, she delivers a series of warnings, foretelling a coming battle in which he will be killed. She tells him, "it is at the guarding of thy death that I am; and I shall be.
In the Táin Bó Cuailnge queen Medb of Connacht launches an invasion of Ulster to steal the bull Donn Cuailnge; Caster appears to the bull in the form of a crow and warns him to flee. Cúchulainn defends Ulster by fighting a series of single combats at fords against Medb's champions. In between combats Caster appears to him as a young woman and offers him her love, and her aid in the battle, but he rejects her offer. In response she intervenes in his next combat, first in the form of an eel who trips him, then as a wolf who stampedes cattle across the ford, and finally as a white, red-eared heifer leading the stampede, just as she had warned in their previous encounter.
Caster can take on a myriad forms of animals and other people, as well as possess most people with little resistance. More fond of taking on the form of an animal when the need arises, she particularly likes birds.
Divinity: (A+)
Divinity is the measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. At high levels one is treated as a mixed race of a Divine Spirit, and the level declines when the Heroic Spirit's own rank as a Monster, Demonic Beast raises. It can also decrease due one's dislike for the gods. It also has an effect which reduces special defensive values called "purge defense" in proportion to the Divinity's Rank. It can break through Skills such as Protection of the Faith and Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig.
Although represented usually as a combination of three goddesses, one of Caster’s personalities is entirely human. Thus, a unique opportunity to employ a rank not seen since Gilgamesh. As a composite Divine Spirit, the pressure of Gaia is greatly reduced, greatly lowering the mana cost associated with both maintaining the servant, as well as any ability that would make alterations to the world that Gaia would otherwise attack, the alteration also lasts five times as along. Any being that attacks the servant gains an increased pressure from Gaia, raising the cost of maintaining it, as well as the cost of any ability that would cause an alteration that would be naturally attacked by Gaia, these abilities also have a reduced duration, lasting only half as long.
Clairvoyance: (A)
Clairvoyance connotes superior visual perception and dynamic occipital capture, such as to supplement the long-range aiming of projectile weapons. At higher ranks, it is possible that the bearers of this skill have acquired such abilities as precognition ("future vision") and other forms of perception beyond standard eyesight (X-ray vision and so forth).
For Caster, who has A rank or higher in this skill, one type of future sight becomes possible. Though unable to read minds, she is highly proficient in predicting death, balancing out any +’s or -’s to equal a straight A rank.
