Nope. Hermes has already said that his next will be an Alter version of one of his past Servants, not an entirely new one.

And that's why he knows we'll never guess it, because that was a lie.
It may have been, then again it may not have been. It I could have been honest knowing that only few would believe me.
We will never know till I find a decent enough faceclaim.

And if that is the case, then there's are 1/55 chance of guessing correctly
Just think about it. The logic is sound. He said we'd never guess it, but if it's really one of his old Servants all we have to do is get 55 different people to guess one previous Servant each. But if we only guess from his pool of old Servants when the Servant is a new Servant, we'll never get it right. It's the only possible way for his taunt to be true.
but he said we'd never guess it, so we'd never guess it anyway.

so we should guess things that we don't want him to make.
Because if it's something we'd never guess anything we guess automatically come off the table.

i'm going to guess the internet legend mcjon01
When I made Mary Tudor, the clue I gave was a yandere that was related the a servant I had made. The only person who guess was Crying who thought it may have been Chang'e - wife of Hou Yi.
Theyre pretty much done so I'll just upload him after I've eaten dinner.

And no it isn't mcjon01
OK! Finally got some rest; and I'm glad the sheet was well-received. :)
Thanks for all the feedback guys.
@Mcjon: To be fair, I did state in the bio she was pretty much just shoved into the container and had a botched summoning and subpar Master limiting her, kinda like Arcueid and Gatou in EXTRA.
@RoydGolden: Yeah, I tried to keep the identity more ambiguous, but I was gonna have to mention details like that at some point. And you're right on point; I did have For Someone's Glory in mind while planning out how Shadow Shroud worked. Of course, I only took the identity concealing part of it, and I mostly had Shadow Shroud to compensate for her lack of Presence Concealment. And thanks. :)
@Bird of Hermes: Thank you. :) And hey, nitpicking is still feedback! For her stats and some skills, I tried using the closest Assassin equivalent, FGO's Mysterious Heroine X, as a base. Of course, being a gag character, and mostly having gag skills, I also took Saber Alter, Lancer Alter and even Regular Artoria for reference in how each skill should be ranked. This is where the C-Rank Instinct comes from, even though I tried giving it a lore reason for the lower rank. Even the NP rank was based on Rhongomyniad being A++, since I figured the three weapons would work like a trinity of sorts.
As for Shadow Shroud, the reason I had it at B was, well, partly because I was inspired by For Someone's Glory (which is B-Rank), and partly because I figured it'd be a tad higher ranked than Invisible Air since the Shroud is more or less a "sealed" version of Carnwennan rather than a separate enchantment. Still, I can see why it might should be lower, so I'll rank it down to C. Same with the second NP.
In any case, thanks for the feedback. ^^
Oh...right. And here I thought no one had caught those references...
I probably needed more sleep. :/

Class: Rider
True Name: Roland Alter 'The Dark Paladin'
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Place of Origin: France
Strength- A+
Endurance- A
Agility- B+
Mana- B
Luck- E
NP- A+
Height/Weight: 176cm/74kg?
Likes: War
Dislikes: Peace
Talent: Propagating Conflict
Natural Enemy: His True Self
Class Skills:
- Magic Resistance (B) - 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 (EX) - Roland's mount Vellantif has been assimilated into his body. He is capable of warping his lower half into that of the blackened form of his stead much like that of a centaur, allowing him to travel at speeds the human eye can only perceive as a blur.
Personal Skills:
- Battle Continuation (A) - Makes it possible to fight even with deadly injuries and can remain alive so long as one does not receive a decisive fatal wound.
- Charisma (E) - The natural talent to command. Leadership skills increase, but the morale of troops decreases extremely.
- Horde Breaker (B) - The ability to fight against large numbers of foes. All parameters gain a Rank-Up when battling against multiple opponents without any support from allies.
- Scream of Terror (A) - The Servant's howl of battle induces deep, primal fear in all around them. As long as enemy doesn't possess any means of shutting off unnatural fear, they remain 'terrified' which weakens their defensive and offensive capabilities and forces those especially vulnerable to flee. Roland managed to incur fear in an entire army by himself.

----------------------
IT WAS ONE I MADE ALL ALONG!
I started this guy as a writing exercise. The whole point the being 'Blackened' is that your ego, honour and spirit is essentially ground up into nothing and you're forced to have your failing forced upon you made made to swallow them so I wondered how that may affect one of the servants I've made. And after seeing a certain recent Assassin I got the proper motivation to finish him off.
Roland isn't as good as that Assassin in my opinion but I couldn't make him any better.
Now feel free to tear him apart at your leisure.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen an Anti-Fortress Durandal, despite it having an amazing excuse to be so.

Nonetheless, a pretty nice alter sheet.
You know, I actually forgot about the giant gap, only remembered the attempting to break the sword.
I'll go back and change the rank.
Ein bisschen, ein bisschen.
It's more about the ugliness than the literal correctness (though the original indeed is not so ... exact: Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird). Even if I knew no German, that kind of phrase immediately pings my general linguist's sense of "this is being inserted because the translator's (unnecessarily) worried about clarity". It's the sort of wording you put on exams to be absolute sure that the marker sees you've understood the sequence of events, even if it sounds bad. And I've read enough Nietzsche that it felt out of place on that front too, because it's not precisely his mode.
Roland Alter: I like it. He seems fit to be either the final boss or the super strong rival character.
Having him assimilate his horse through Riding EX was an interesting touch. Horde Breaker and Scream of Terror also make him perfect for countering large groups of enemies. I guess the only reliable way to defeat him would be one-on-one?
Durendal Noir: a flaming earthquake sword
Oliphant Horn: why was his dying when using this removed? It's powerful, but a little generic IMO. Maybe change it to something to do with the Battle of Ronceveax Pass, where Roland died? Something maybe recreating the conditions in which Roland died, but with his target playing the role of Roland? Though you might not like the whole "summon big army = I win" thing...
I was thinking to myself "where did all these Magic swords come from?" As well, I have been watching a lot of Man at Arms: Reforged, so I had become quite interested in the blacksmithing process. So I found the legend of this guy. I took parts from both the Völundarkviša and the Žišrekssaga af Bern, so the lore given may be a bit contradictory. I tried.
Also, some of the weapons Wayland forged turned up in this thread before. Because I wanted to keep things consistent, I stole some of the Noble Phantasms (Curtana and Durendal) from the Bird of Hermes. If you don't like that, sorry about that. I'll change them if you want. I made up my own description for Gram though.
I also moved around the lore and personality sections since I kept giving away Caster's name in the other sections. This will probably be a one-time thing.
