Ended up finishing Leibniz before anything else I was working on. So here he is:
Servant Caster: Gottfried Leibniz
FC is fanart of Okabe Rintarou from Steins;Gate. Source
Class: Caster
True Name: Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz
Alias: None
Alignment: Lawful Good
Region: Germany
Strength- E
Endurance- E
Agility- D+
Mana- B
Luck- B
NP- A+
Height/Weight: 5’9/170
Gender: Male
Likes: mathematics, philosophy, inventing
Dislikes: Being mocked for his ideas
Talent: Philosophy, mathematics, optimism
Natural Enemy: Voltaire, Isaac Newton
Class skills:
Territory Creation: (B)
The skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus. At this rank, creation of a workshop becomes possible. Leibniz was not incompetent in this particular area, but his skills were generally unremarkable when compared with the rest of his legend.
Item Construction: (C)
A Caster-class skill. It is the skill to manufacture magical items. Leibniz spent a large part of his life developing a early version of the universal calculator, one able to perform all four basic operations. This calculator would make basic computation easier and less-time consuming, thereby multiplying (heh) the ability of a mathematician to do complex mathematics in a shorter period of time. This idea has manifested as an ability to produce devices that make Mages more effective by reducing casting times. He is able to use these devices himself, but they have little use in his own style of Magecraft, and he will thus usually just give them to his Master or other allies.
Personal skills:
Clairvoyance: (B-)
Leibniz possesses an odd version of this skill. He focused mainly on mathematics and philosophy in life, but he also occasionally worked in other fields. During these periods, he was able to anticipate major future advancements in those fields, predicting developments in quantum mechanics, geology, and even computing. As such, he does not possess the enhanced long-ranged aiming skills traditional of this skill, but instead “merely” possesses a limited ability to see the future.
Animal Dialogue: (D)
The ability to communicate with animals that do not speak “a language of words.” Leibniz understood that animals were not truly capable of rational thought, but he did believe that they were capable of feeling and possessed souls. From this conclusion, he gained a limited ability to interact with and influence them. He mainly uses this ability as another way to gather information, but even that use is limited because of his low rank. He is also technically able to use this ability on plants, but there is no practical value to doing so, as they are largely incapable of movement or sight, and they are obviously still not capable of true speech.
Mathematical Genius: (A)
Leibniz was one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He invented the field of mathematics known as calculus independently but at the same time as Isaac Newton. His gift for numbers allows him to comprehend and conceptualize the world around him. Using this skill, he is able to predict the probabilities of any event and act on his results. This ability when combined with Clairvoyance becomes astonishingly powerful, allowing him to create detailed and complex strategies in both the short and long-term future.

I like the guy, though I think the first noble phantasm could be ditched and just expand on his Mathematical Genius and Clairvoyance skills. Aside from that he's fairly well rounded with his second NP being something I wouldn't have expected to see from him.

Class Skills:
Magic Resistance: (B)
Protection against magical effects. Different from effects that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected.
Riding: (B)
Tthe ability to ride mounts and vehicles. At this rank, most vehicles can be handled with above average skill. However, the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts are not ridable.
Personal Skills:
Military Tactics: (B)
Tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
After the death of Bishma, Saber became the Chief Commander of the Kuru Army. Highly skilled in tactics, he even created a unique strategy that nobody else managed to reproduce.
Divinity: (A)
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 raises. It can also decrease due one's dislike for the gods. It also has an effect which reduces special defenses called "purge defense".
Saber is the incarnation of the god Brahma.
Wisdom of the Weaponry: (A+)
A skill granten to those who became a uncompearable master in all weapons and spread this weapons to others who became great heroes in their own right. With exception of those particular of certain heroes, Skills related to the proper uses of weapons can be displayed with a proficiency level of B~A Rank. Also, only towards those he has recognized as princes, it is also possible to teach such Skills. Furthermore, it grants the benefit of Eternal Arms Mastership at an equal rank.
Saber was taught in the uses of every weapons by the great sage Parasuruma. He thereafter took the Kauravas and the Pandalas under his wing.

4Score: Man, that Leibnitz sheet above is pretty dang good. Rare you come across many philosopher Heroic Spirits around here, and you did a good job managing to turn Leibnitz' rather esoteric stuff into fitting Noble Phantasms (especially Monadology which even I had trouble wrapping my head around). The FC is also very nice, though it does make me imagine him shouting "I am a mad scientist, sunuvabitch!" which... might not've been exactly what you had in mind personality-wise.
Given I haven't heard anything else on Aife now, I'm assuming she's (now) acceptable.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Narayanastra in any way at all, given it's one of the three ultimate weapons in Hindu mythology. Also the sword is a bit similar with the one you gave to Susanoo, I think you would have gotten more out of him by making him an Archer though I do like Chakravyūha though. One final point, regarding Wisdom of Weaponry, why not just give him Eternal Arms Master as a separate skill?

Glad you liked it and thank you for the comments! Philosophical ideas are weird to adapt. They're very abstract and broad, but I like that you can go in a lot of ways with them because of it. I might do another philosopher at some point, but I'll have to pick someone who isn't too similar to Leibniz or else I'd just copy paste the skills over. (I probably won't do Newton for this reason.)

If you wanted to do Newton, you could have his book Principia (Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica) as a Noble Phantasm that destroys magic/mystery and lowers parameters. Alternatively if you wanted to get crazy, you could pull some stuff up with gravity manipulation.

Maybe. I suppose if I actually tried I could differentiate them well-enough; they weren't really that similar outside of mathematics. The tricky part is going to be ensuring that they are roughly equal in power, since they were rivals. It wouldn't do to have Newton absolutely shit-stomp Leibniz or vice-versa. Newton is probably going to end up a bit more powerful because fame, but still. I'll think about it.

Well, the Narayanastra was more his son's thing, and I'm currently toying with the idea of making a sheet for him. To be honest, I mostly make this sheet because I wanted to write this sword as a NP in the first place. I didn't make Eternal Arms Mastera separate skill because I tought it be a bit redundant if he had two seperate skills that represent his mastership in weaponry.
Well if you really want to make her stronger, there wasn't much of a reason to ditch Clairvoyance since 4 personal skills should be fine? Unless you don't like giving more than three skills, I guess. The sheet seems fine to me right now, but this is coming from someone who's knowledge in the Ulster Cycle is p minimal so dunno if there's any material you could have used.
Nice sheet. You did well to translate his ideology into NPs. I'd likely have a hard time with that lol. Also silly faceclaim pick, but it's kinda fitting since you made him super confident about his philosophies.

Hello. Have another Nazi. Not really sure if he's applicable since he's born exactly on 1900 and I didn't quite get whether the cut off is 100 years prior to the start of 21st century (so 1900) or 100 years prior to start of FSN (so 1904), but I made him anyway. Also, I got lazy with lore section.
Next one is a Soviet or Ally Servant prolly for a change of pace.

Source: (X)
Class: Caster (Alternatively Berserker)
True Name: Heinrich L. Himmler
Alias: Reichsführer-SS
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Origin: History
Region: Germany
Height/Weight: 173cm/53kg
Gender: Male
Likes: Germany, Adolf Hitler, pride towards one's nationality, control, his family
Dislikes: 'Untermensch', opposition to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi movement, the Holy Church, the Magus Association
Talent: Improving ideas and enforcing them, observing others, putting genocide into motion
Natural Enemy: Joseph Stalin
Attribute: Man
Traits: Human
Armament: Pistols, military knife, torture utensils
Catalyst: Due to very little of Himmler's personal belongings surviving past the World War II period, it might be harder to attain the required catalyst for Himmler's summoning. Regardless, if one truly wishes to summon him for some insane reason then possible catalysts could be the personal uniform he wore which has surfaced in the collecting world to be sold at a high price. Another catalyst could be the rare printed communion certificate Himmler received for his acceptance into the Roman Catholic Church. Perhaps even one of his personally signed official letters could be obtained as a catalyst.
Class skills:
Territory Creation: (B+)
The skill that allows for one to build a terrain advantageous to themselves as a Magus. At this rank, creation of a ''workshop'' becomes possible. As someone who is responsible for building many concentration camps over the Nazi controlled areas and managed them for the sake of using them as his own personal ''workshops'', Himmler is someone who's quite knowledgeable in the creation of a territory advantageous for himself. But in actuality, his true talent does not lay in building a territory that serves to his advantage, but rather he is more adept at building a territory that is disadvantageous to the enemy. When it comes to building a trap riddled territory where the enemy can be cornered and defeated easily, Himmler possesses extra-ordinary skill. Facing him on his own territory can be considered a potentially deadly situation and one that should be avoided.
Item Construction: (B)
A skill that measures one's ability to construct items that are magical in nature. With this rank, it is entirely possible to create items possessing magical energy. In Himmler's case, he specializes with the creation of torture tools and chemicals that serve the purpose of aiding him in his human experiments. Though he has attained the knowledge to create potential healing potions, convincing Himmler to do so would be a hard task unless it was for his own good. He wouldn't consider even saving the life of his own Master if faced with immediate danger. At best, he would keep the Master in a state one step short of death, making them unable to take their own action but remain as a mana battery for Himmler's sake.
Personal skills:
Devil's Advocate: (A)
A personal skill possessed by an individual who had a high zealot-like faith in something during their life and subsequently enforced it onto others by the employment of constant violence, further oppressing the rise of any other form of belief differing from that of his own. Essentially, it is a personal skill granted to Himmler due to his enforcement of the Nazi ideology. As someone who was one of the closest subordinates of Adolf Hitler in life due to his unwavering faith towards the man, Himmler was granted many perks and positions until he became arguably the second most powerful man in the Third Reich second only to Hitler. Using his authority, Himmler quickly enforced the ideology presented by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, squashing any differing opinions quickly and quietly.
However, by far one of the most powerful evidence of his status as the advocate of Adolf Hitler was his preparation of the war against Christendom. Believing that the Holy Church is brainwashing the noble Germanic people and is the pioneer of the undesirable and evil subhumans, Himmler desired for the German society to abandon all Christian values and use the history and legend of the Germanic people as the basis of everything. As a man highly obsessed with Germanic history and legend, his wish post-war was to create a - in his mind - noble movement against the Christian ''propaganda'' and squash their grip on the people's minds. It was under this belief that the notorious secret police Schutzstaffel (SS) was formed as Himmler saw that the main task of the SS was to act as a noble vanguard which's purpose is to overcome Christianity and restore a 'Germanic way of living'.
As an ambitious enemy of the Holy Church, Himmler saw that preparations for attacking it's orders post-war would be arranged. In his mind, the Holy Church is a dangerous entity which's principle of mercy and morality is an immediate threat to the planned battle against subhumans. With permission from Hitler, it was under Himmler's instructions that the Holy Church faced potential destruction during the 20th century. In regards to the Holy Grail War, Himmler is granted a heightened battle performance when battling those that use the techniques of the Holy Church or have fought on their side during life. More-so, he possesses excellent skill at shutting down the effectiveness of Holy Sacraments (being able to tap into and alter the very basis of their Thaumaturgical Theory upon activation) and interfering with personal skills such as Saint or Revelation. This skill also includes Zealotry at an equal rank. When fighting in the presence of Adolf Hitler, all stats receive a rank up.
Pioneer of the Atrocities: (EX)
An unique skill given to villainous individuals who became infamous in history for their ability of putting evil ideas into practice and became known for their crimes against humanity. Essentially, all difficult voyages and ideals considered impossible of realizing can be turned into ideas that can effectively be put into practice. In order to have aptitude for this skill, the owner has to meet the requirements of being applicable to both the personal skills Torture Techniques and Sadistic Constitution at a high rank as well as have anecdotes in life where they committed cruel atrocities against human kind. As long as Himmler is working with a plan or an idea that is built on the misfortune of others, he will leave only excellent results. A dangerous skill to be possessed by an ambitious maniac like himself, as it is made possible to take full advantage of enemy weaknesses, creating innovative counter-measures that have the best possible result at harming another individual.
As a skill that represents the destruction of human civilization, when Himmler is faced off against Servants that have the capability to make difficult voyages realized in a way that benefits others, it is made possible for him to dismantle the success of his opposition and return it a state of naught. At this level, it even functions as a form of curse which heavily decreases the morale of enemy troops if they are fighting for a just cause. This skill's effectiveness depends on the size and form of the enemy being fought. Should the enemy have traits of a Monster such as the Three Great Yokai of Japan (Tamamo-no-Mae, Shuten Douji and Emperor Sutoku the Tengu), Himmler's lack of experience in dealing with such enemies will result in the failure of this skill's full effects. On the other hand, if the enemy being fought is a hero who possesses human traits then the effectiveness of Himmler's counter-attacks will only raise - it's highest effect taking when committing atrocities against masses rather than individuals.
It's not known to many, but even though it was Adolf Hitler who desired the destruction of the Jewish race it was not him who made such a notion possible. The one who made such an idea possible and put the sickening ''final answer to the Jewish question'' into motion was Heinrich Himmler - the architect of the Holocaust as well as the organizer of the police force that committed various cruel violations on human rights. Along with Reinhard Heydrich, Himmler oversaw the Holocaust project which served to torture many innocent lives in the guise of ''racial purification''. As the architect of the proclaimed worst genocide in human history, Himmler further sought a violent and bloody war on the existence of any non-Aryan races in which by his own word, millions on both side would have lost their life.
Disposition of a Mass Murderer: (A)
A personal skill granted to mass murderers who are capable at reading other individuals as if they were an open book and subsequently put that knowledge into effective use. In it's basics, it is a skill very similar to Human Observation in it's ability to not only understand others at a glance, but also hypothesize their livelihoods, likes and lifestyles. However, rather than just observing this skill encompasses one's capability to put such talent into practical use by altering their own personality to fit the course of conversation with another individual in such a way that makes one's personality most favourable in dealing with others. Not only that, but it also allows for one to choose the best optimal choice of action similar when fighting single enemies rather than troops in battle.
In it's effects, it is similar to the personal skill Instinct, but it is different because rather than feeling the best course of action, it is knowing and predicting the best course of action by observing one's own opponent and calculating what their next move will be. The knowledge granted by this skill also allows for one to choose the best possible subordinates fit for a task simply by observing them. For Himmler, aside from the named capabilities, this skill has a handful of advantages. For one, because he does not possess the ability to draw others to himself and charm them through oratory skills as well as the strength of his presence like Hitler does, Himmler instead has developed a kind and soothing personality fit for a loved family man through his observation of the livelihoods of other people. In essence, it makes him fail to register as a hostile individual that carries underlying agendas to the eye of an individual inexperienced in dealing with lies and trickery.
The reason Himmler possesses this skill is simple. He is claimed to be a good decision maker who possessed extra-ordinary skill in selecting competent staff based on his observation (such as Reinhard Heydrich) and further apply his secret police the SS into every aspect of daily life - a skill he gained by observing the common folk and constraining their lifestyles into conditions where he would have powerful control over. It is said that even though Himmler was a dull individual who possessed neither the charm Hitler possessed nor the military competency that Heydrich possessed, he was so skilled at organizing all of his power and staff that he became the second most powerful man in the Reich.
Rune Magic (Armanen Futharkh): (A)
A type of Magecraft that originated from Scandinavia during the Age of Gods. They are symbols that realize great mysteries upon their inscription. In the Third Holy Grail War that took place in Fuyuki during the World War II period, there were reports that a Master supported by the Nazi regime had entered the war. That Master was Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia who, in return of pledging his loyalty to Adolf Hitler, was granted control of an order of Nazi trained Magi. With their help, Darnic managed to fight off both the great three families and the Imperial Japanese army, securing the Holy Grail.
The source of these Magi was a branch organization of Ahnenerbe inside the Third Reich that focused on raising and training soldiers who possessed excellent aptitude for Magic into extra-ordinary Magi soldier which would give Hitler the edge in defeating both the hated British army - which at the time was being funded and supported by the Clocktower in London - and Stalin's Red Army. The one who was tasked with the control of this branch organization and the job to bring up powerful Magi warriors for Hitler was none other than Heinrich Himmler himself - who was claimed to be a powerful Satanist heavily interested in the occult. Himmler's interest in the occult was tied to the racist philosophies of the Nazi regime as he often believed that the Aryan people possessed a history full of great tales of the supernatural which proved their ''racial superiority'' to other races.
In his quest for the occult, Himmler had obtained the knowledge and use of the eightteen Armanen runes created by Guido von List - which he later further established as the symbol of the SS. One of his most powerful runes is the ancient Sowilō rune which originally symbolized the sun, but was later changed to Sig symbolizing ''victory''. It is a rune that, once inscribed, summons a scorching flame that spreads over the target and leaves nothing of their flesh. It is Himmler's favourite rune and due to having practiced often with it by scorching the bodies of the victims (such as Hebrews) that his SS had procured, he has become very proficient in it's usage. It is said that Himmler's proficiency with Magic is high enough to be on the Bride level if measured by the system of Magi rankings found within the Clocktower.

Presumably, Joseph Goebbels, Reinhard Heydrich, and Hermann Göring are still to come because they were mentioned in the Phantasm. Plus various allies or Soviets.
As for the sheet, it's clear that a ton of work has gone into it. There is so much detail in the skills and NPs that it is almost hard to get my head around some of them. I think that being able to summon five heroic spirits is probably worth of more than a C rank Phantasm tho, even if it isn't the main usage of the ability.
