I'm probably going to get yelled at for making this sheet, but here goes. Also pouble dost.

STR: C AGI: B END: D MGI: D LCK: A NP: B+
Skills:
Magic Resistance: C
Cancels spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
Voyager of the Storm: A
The ability to command a ship and its crew. Because leadership is needed to handle such a feat, this skill also grants Charisma and Military Tactics, both at rank B, and an equivalent rank in Riding.

Capable of calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament.
Bravery: A
Mental interference is completely shut out.
Noble Phantasms:
Artemisium: Vessels of Earth and Water
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-60
Max targets: 600 people
Five ships filled with elite troops gathered from the various cities comprising the satrap of Caria. They were some of the most celebrated members of the Persian fleet, and are an invaluable resource in Rider's arsenal. Due to their nature as ships, they can only be summoned in bodies of water large enough to accommodate them, automatically placing her at a disadvantage should the Grail War happen on dry land.
Salamis: My Women Have Become Men
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1
Max targets: 1
A set of splendidly forged Greek armor crafted for Artemisia by the Persian overlord Xerxes. When Rider dons the armor, she gains defensive bonuses according to two factors: 1) if the opponent is male, and 2) if the opponent belongs to a class that does not favor direct combat, such as Caster, Assassin, and Archer. Naturally, the bonuses gained from wearing the armor are doubled if both conditions are met.
Lore
Rider is Artemisia I of Caria, one of the famous commanders under Xerxes during the Persian war. She was a woman of great wisdom, shrewdly managing her fiefs and counselling her lord Xerxes against engaging the Greeks in naval combat. Though her advice was ignored, she still obeyed her master's orders and prepared for war, demonstrating her loyalty. In the battlefield, she made full use of the chaotic situation by ramming an allied ship who was manned by King Damasithymos. Using that strategy, she had simultaneously killed her enemy, fled from the heat of combat, and improved her standing with King Xerxes in one fell swoop. After the battles of the Persian war, her tactical prowess was no longer required, so she retired from the battlefield and died peacefully within the walls of Halicarnassus.
She is audacious and open-minded, but at the same time cautious and wise. Her wish to the Grail is that every woman be given the chance to pursue their own destinies, just as she did.

Charisma- A
~He was a famous king . The greatest king of Babylon as well as the one responsible for the Hanging Gardens. He was also mentioned several times on the bible and had became quite a figure in Christianity.
Protection of the Faith- A++
~A henotheist. He believes in the gods of Mesopatamia. Aside from his belief to them, he became a follower of the God of the Hebrews and had decreed during his reign that anyone who would insult the God would be severely punished. He was also mentioned in the Bible as a servant of God.
Noble Phantasms:
Mushussu Sirrush: "The Fierce Serpent Dragon Of Marduk"
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army
Description:
The dragon that appeared in Daniel's tale. It was the serpent that was worshipped by the people of Babylon due to it being connected to their god, Marduk. It was later slain by Daniel in the Book of Daniel when he confronted it. Due to its connection to the god, Marduk, and Nebuchadnezzar, this became his classification in the Rider class. Although supposedly a Dragon, since it was a mythological hybrid, its rank was degraded into a Divine Beast (similar to a Sphinx) while retaining its Dragonic element.
It was a powerful creature that was the one of the basis of the Lernean Hydra and succeeding stories/myths about dragons. Rider summons this through the "gate". Unlike the other "creatures", he sends this out as a "personal minion" and instead of riding on top of it, Rider commands it instead while sitting on his throne inside the Hanging Gardens. He claims that it will take 3-4 Servants to kill it at best and even those who have the "dragon slayer" attribute would not be able to slay it easily since it was the "origin of the dragons."
Ishtar Gate: "The Phantasmal Gateway Of Babylon"
Rank: E~A++
Type: ~
Description:
The eight gate heading towards the kingdom of Babylon which was built on the inner city. It was a creation that engraved the history of Babylon itself with mostly containing the name of "Nebuchadnezzar" in its several texts as well as images of creatures and monster associated with him and the Babylonian culture.
As a Noble Phantasm, it manifests as a "Phantasmal dimensional portal" acting as a bridge between the "Phantasmal World of Marduk" to the "Material World". It could call any of the 10 of the 11 monsters (excluding the Sirrush) of Tiamat that was subdued and defeated by Marduk as well as miniature versions of the Bašmu (“Venomous Snake”), Ušumgallu (“Great Dragon”), Mušmaḫḫū (“Exalted Serpent”), Mušḫuššu (“Furious Snake”), and Ugallu (the “Big Weather-Beast”). He could also summon lions and bisons from it.
They are powerful phantasmal creatures each being a "servant" strong that is a match against any of the Knight classes. Because of them being degraded into something akin to a familiar, their general parameters are slightly lowered. Nonetheless, they are still powerful beings capable of matching a servant in single-combat.
Etemenanki: "Temple Of The Foundation Of The Heaven and Earth"
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit (SELF), Barrier
Description:
A bounded-field manifesting into a gigantic tower which was the basis of the infamous Tower of Babel mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Its historical size was 300 feet but as a Noble Phantasm, it was increased many times over, now tall enough to "reach the heavens". The bounded-field's effect was reversed as part of its concept. Instead of a "field effect around it", it was made to be a bounded field affecting what is "inside it". As a Noble Phantasm, it acts as a "beacon" that collects prana from the surrounding area by converting natural energy and life force. The barrier is "conceptual" in nature and in spite of its physical manifestation, it cannot be destroyed other than killing Rider or shutting down the "control-center" at the unfinished peak of the tower.
Anyone that tries to enter inside the tower will lose the ability of "comprehension" or "understanding" as part of the legend of people being unable to understand each other due to the change of dialect upon God's wrath.
The creation of this Noble Phantasm is possible through Rider's Imperial Privilege that gives birth to an EX rank Territory Creation.
Hanging Gardens Of Babylon: "Soaring Fortress Of Love and Pride"
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-World
Description:
Different from the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, this Noble Phantasm manifests itself as the actual "aerial fortress" depicted in history. Unlike the former, Rider's Hanging Gardens does not need worldly materials in order to construct it. He claims that its creation is easier than drinking water as he merely needs to recall the image of the gardens which was borne from his love for his Queen. It was a beauty that soars the heavens. From its name, Love and Pride, it houses both Rider's love for his Queen and his Pride as a King.
However, the fortress lacks maneuverability, and only floats on the area where it was manifested. It appears like a bounded-filed that manifests with a physical figure similar to the Etemenanki. This is a miraculous barrier made through its fame and Rider's capabilties. Because of the Garden lacking archaeological evidence of its existence, it is possible for it to "turn invisible" to the eyes of those who lack the ability of magecraft.
While inside the Gardens, Rider's fame heightens to the highest class, his stats increases while his skills sharply enhance. All attacks inside favors him and he is able to teleport in and out of the fortress or to many regions/sectors inside of it. Inside, it is possible for him to possess magecraft that is close to the realm of magic. Easily firing EX rank Magic Cannons from the fortress and EX rank Barriers to protect it from outside attacks. Also, he can recall his "phantasmal beasts" inside the fortress if he wishes or change the layout of the fortress anytime he wants like a moving labyrinth.
Neo Babylonia : "Kingdom Of Babylon, Marvel Of The Mankind"
Rank: A+++
Type: Anti-Country
Description:
" I call to the Great Heroes of the World! You are now facing my greatest Noble Phantasm, my greatest glory! Admire its brilliance, fear its power and respect its beauty. This is the domain of my existence, the world of my aspirations. Now, I challenge anyone who are willing. Face me with courage or retreat with incompetence. Regardless, you will all be swallowed upon by Marduk's Hand of Judgment! BWAHAHAH!"
"Come--Babylonian King Of Heroes--
The time for our Royal engagement has come--
We shall see who, from the two of us, is truly the greatest king of Babylon. I shall intercept the greatest of your treasures
with the greatest of my achievements. "-Rider
The greatest Noble Phantasm of Rider. It is the manifestation of the "golden kingdom" told in the dream of Daniel. It consists of numerous ziggurats, temples and towers associated with the god, Marduk, the Tower of Babel and the Grand Palace of Rider. It stretches to the size of large city and is capable of destroying the buildings of the world through its manifestation. It is a Reality Marble that rewrites reality from the outside instead of a mental image manifesting. It takes an appearance similar to the kingdom he ruled during his time. It surrounds his Grand Palace, the "Marvel of the Mankind", while at the center of the Palace lies his Noble Phantasm, "Etemenanki" that connects itself to the Hanging Gardens. In this instance, all prana being accumulated or was accumulated by the tower was now being transferred to Rider.
It is a powerful Anti-Country Noble Phantasm that allows the "full manifestation" of all his Noble Phantasms. It is possible for Rider to release all the phantasmal beasts of the Ishtar Gate. That, and the guardians of the Babylonian city, Lamassus, phantasmal beasts that are high in quantity, and the soldiers that swore to him in life, protects the Grand Palace and the Tower of Babel from enemies. Because of the floating fortress and the EX rank Barriers that surrounds it, it is nearly impossible to breach to where Rider is without entering the Grand Palace and climbing the Tower. This Noble Phantasm acts as Rider's challenge to his enemies. Filled with pride and glory, this is Rider's greatest weapon.
That's quite a few NPs but my issue is more that his skills are all one or two ranks too high IMO. Then again, the only place I know of him is the Bible, so that might be coloring my perception.
"We don't need martyrs right now. We need heroes. A hero would die for his country, but he'd much rather live for it." -Josiah Bartlet
Class: Caster
True Name: Archimedes
Alignment: True Neutral
Place of Birth: Greek Syracuse
Original lifetime: 2nd Century BC
STR: E AGI: E
END: E MGI: A
LCK: B NP: A++
Class Skills:
Territory Creation: A
Creation of a "Study", superior to a Workshop, is made possible.
Item Creation: A
Items ranging from stunningly accurate astronomy-related items to hand-held heat rays and many other things can be created with nothing more than time and effort within his Study.
Personal Skills: Gematria: B
An Assyro-Babylonian system of Magecraft that assigns numerical value to a word or phrase in the belief that words or phrases with identical numerical values. By converting letters in a word to numbers and subsequently multiplying these numbers with one another, it becomes possible to create new meanings. For example:
Gold = χρυσός
χρυσός = 2x2x3x5x5x5
2x2x3x5x5x5 = 1500
1500 = δυναμεως (Power) and also φως (Light)
Thus gold = power and light (read: beams)
High-Speed Thought Processing: C+
An ability similar to High-Speed Incantation, it is the ability to calculate and contemplate at a massively increased speed. Born with an incredible mind, Archimedes was able to make vast scientific advances in his time that pioneered mathematics, astronomy and physics for centuries to come. By extending this ability to Magecraft, Archimedes can partially emulate his rapid thinking in speech, reducing incantation times significantly.
Expert of Many Sciences: A
Mathematics, physics, puzzle solving, astronomy, astrology, geometry, trigonometry, hydrostatics and a handful of other skills are all mastered by Archimedes at a level of genius that dwarfs all but a scientists in history.
Seeker of Knowledge: B
The desire to pursue knowledge and wisdom even at the risk of oneself. Even in moments of great danger, Archimedes will take notes and obsess over small details pertaining to his craft. This was what caused his tragic death when he refused to meet with the Roman general who had taken his homeland of Syracuse, where his forceful request to finish a mathematical problem he was busy with ended with him getting cut down.
Noble Phantasms:
Helios Immortalized In Bronze
Heat Ray: C++
Anti-Army
The legend of Archimedes using mirrors of bronze to incinerate the fleet of Marcus Claudius Marcellus with the warm rays of the sun. By aligning the mirrors properly, it becomes possible to flash-ignite any part of a boat with ease.
As these legends have been grossly exaggerated with time, this Noble Phantasm's power has also increased. Activating this Noble Phantasm, Archimedes is surrounded by up a dozen of highly polished bronze shields that orbit him like planets, blocking incoming projectiles that can also generate sweltering rays of heat by aligning correctly in a manner that reflects the light towards the opponent. However, they are not of any particular use until he invokes the Noble Phantasm's name, which causes the mirrors to draw in sunlight and blast forth a massive ray of sunlight that incinerates almost anything upon contact. The effectiveness is massively increased against any flammable surface or material.
The Solar System At Your Fingertips
Antikythera Mechanism: A++
Anti-World
The apex of Greek science, it is a priceless artifact that can be considered the greatest invention of Archimedes. It is an anachronistic device that exceeded the scientific capabilities of man for over a thousand years, involving accurate calculations of planetary, solar and lunar positions that were not possible to calculate at the time and accounting for gravity which was seemingly not invented until the 17th century. Even Archimedes is perplexed as to how he invented it, the creation process being the only thing the wise man has ever forgotten.
By aligning the various dials representing celestial bodies in various ways on the Mechanism, per Satsuki Kurogiri's theory on the level of Prana on Earth being based on the celestial bodies of the Solar System, it becomes possible to change the amount of Prana in the surrounding 15 kilometers based on how they are aligned. It can increase it to the almost choking amount of Prana that existed in the primordial days, or to the drained empty air of the far future, by influencing the world with this flawless construct, so perfect in every manner that it fools the universe. Only by dismissing the Noble Phantasm or changing the dials of the Mechanism can this condition be annulled, and as it is, technically, a purely technological construct it requires little to no Prana to activate. Reality Marbles are also influenced, and can become either self-sufficient or impossible to even manifest depending on the the current setting of the Antikythera Mechanism.
Though this Noble Phantasm was lost deep beneath the waves in the Mediterranean, it has been recovered in modern times, though 2300 years of wear has rendered it unusable and rusty, and many of it's parts are still on the bottom of the ocean.

Class: Rider Alignment: Neutral Good
STR: C AGI: A END: D MGI: B LCK: C NP: A+
Skills:
Riding: A+
Creatures on the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind.
Magic Resistance: B
Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for Rider to be affected.
Divinity: B
Rider was acknowledged as the "god of light". Thus, it gives her additional defensive bonuses against Servants with the same affinity. However, the circumstances surrounding her death have lowered her rank in this skill. (Original rank is A)
Revelation: C
Future events appear in the form of dreams, and may be predicted with certainty.
Rune Magic: A
Rider was taught by her father the true usage of runes, and so she has mastery over them.
Noble Phantasms:
Breiđablik
Hall of the Shining One
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1
Max targets: 1
The embodiment of the event where everything and everyone was compelled by Odin to swear a vow never to hurt Baldr. As a result, Rider is granted full immunity to all concepts that existed before and during her time, as these were already present during the time when the oaths were made. Magecraft from the Age of Gods and legendary weapons of all sorts fail to harm Rider except if they have an affinity for bypassing such. Newer concepts and Heroic Spirits, such as Jack the Ripper, Oda Nobunaga, and Frankenstein's Monster were considered too "young" to be considered as part of the blessing on Baldr, and thus can harm Rider regardless of the Noble Phantasm. This exception is also granted to the mistletoe plant.
Hringhorni
Twilit Funeral Barge
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-50
Max targets: 300 people
The god of light's ship, said to be the greatest vessel ever made. It is a skeiđ longship whose wood is carved with intricate motifs and runes, and whose sail is made from the finest cloth. It would be a formidable sight on the sea, but the lack of soldiers to man it makes it functionally useless aside from providing a means of transport. Its true function is instead carrying the dead as a funeral barge. Once Rider is inside the ship and she invokes its true name, she dies and the ship sets itself on fire on a procession to Hel. All who witness this phenomenon must perform a Luck check. If the check fails, they will be overcome with extreme, irrational grief and jump onto the burning ship. Those who succeed the check, as well as those who possess C rank Magic Resistance or higher will not be affected by the sight, but will have a decrease in parameters in return for not mourning the beloved goddess.
Lore
Rider is Baldr, the goddess of light and purity in Norse mythology. She is said to be the fairest of all of Odin's children, and her brothers doted on her very much. Her parents loved her very much as well, so much that when she received dreams of her death, they made all of creation swear never to hurt her. Though she did not show it, she was very much saddened by the event. Because of the blessing, she would live a life free of pain, which, to her, was no life worth living. She began to sink deeper into despair when people decided to throw things at her for sport. They laughed and made merry as every missile launched at her refused to hit, inadvertently rubbing into Baldr's face how abnormal her existence was.
But what hurt her the most was the time of her death. Her blind brother, Hod, had become an oblivious tool in Loki's plan, using his handicap to make him murder his sister with a spear made of mistletoe. The shaft flew true, guided by Loki's invisible hand, and struck Baldr in the chest. The pain was sharp, intense, and swift, and Baldr wept, not for herself, but for her brother, who would be sorely punished by the All-Father. She was lain to rest on her ship, Hringhorni, along with her steed and her lover. At that time, her father Odin told her a secret: that all would be renewed, and that pain would no longer exist by the time she rises again. Summoned as a Heroic Spirit, Baldr can only await that promised day.
Mad Enhancement: A+
Rank up for parameters, but most of one's reason is robbed.
Magic Resistance: C
Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals. (Berserker's original rank in this skill is B, but it is lowered due to him being placed in the Berserker class)
Divinity: A
Berserker has been identified as the blind god in Norse mythology, so he has defensive bonuses when he is fighting against Servants with the same attribute.
Weak Constitution (Blindness): A
A special case of the skill wherein eyesight has been completely sealed. The four other senses are heightened in exchange.
Instinct: B
Due to living without his sight, Berserker has refined his other senses to compensate for this handicap.
Noble Phantasm:
Mistilteinn
Scatterer of Brilliance
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Divine
Range: 1-5
Max targets: 1 person
A simple wooden spear made of mistletoe. Rather than being crafted or forged, it appears the spear was simply grown from a single plant. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it ideal as a throwing weapon. However, it is not as flimsy at it seems. It has been blessed by the god of mischief, Loki, with numerous enchantments, and it is said his hand still guides the spear towards its target, making underestimating Berserker a fatal mistake. Each and every one of his mad flailings is translated into strikes of deadly precision, and they will not fail to hit the target unless Loki's blessing has been nullified.
However, Mistilteinn's true power lies in its ability to wound even gods. It was the spear specifically crafted to slay the goddess Baldr, so it gains the Anti-Divine classification. Upon making contact with the target's skin, the Noble Phantasm instantly nullifies all Magecraft that renders the target invulnerable, allowing it to even pierce through the skin of one who has bathed in dragon's blood. However, this effect will also disappear once Loki's blessing has been nullified.
Lore
Berserker is Höđr or Hod, the blind god of Norse mythology, as well as Baldr's brother. Hod was known as the black sheep of all the children of Odin, because his blindness was handicap that prevented him from ever seeing battle. He nursed a strong dislike of Thor, easily the most warlike of his siblings, but the one he envied the most was his sister, Baldr. He had heard all the tales speaking of his sister's beauty, how she was the light that illuminated all of the Nine Worlds. How could she not have spared any of that light for him? Nevertheless, Baldr was the kindest towards her infirm brother, always being a helping hand.
All these things made things worse for Hod on the event of Baldr's death. The trickster, Loki, knew of his secret desires and played upon his infirmity, placing in his hands a spear of mistletoe. Of course, the spear struck true, impaling Baldr in the chest. When Hod heard the screams of his fellow gods, he knew what had happened, and so he ran away, the prime suspect in the murder of the brilliant goddess.
Hod was driven mad by his grief, and so when the half-giant Vali came to exact vengeance over Baldr's death, he willingly offered his life up as penance. As he died, he wept for his sister, whose endless kindness he had repaid in blood.
Höđr appears in the Holy Grail War as either Lancer or Berserker. As a Lancer, Hod would refuse to fight with his spear, because while most Servants' Noble Phantasms are items of pride, his Mistilteinn is an existence closer to a grudge, a reminder of how he had murdered, knowingly or no, his beloved sister.
So this is what it feels like to get your culture defiled.

Skills:
Demonic Defender of the State: EX
By securing the ley lines, Lancer can create a territory where her parameters are boosted by one rank.
Innocent Monster: A
Lancer's legend has been warped and exaggerated, turning her from a stern, brutal ruler into a barely controlled madwoman.
Torture Technology: A
The effectiveness of "torture weapons" are increased. This skill may be applied to the Noble Phantasms to boost their potency.
Kabary: C
An ancient form of Malagasy poetry, its usage can be used to instantly create a formal tone in any event. As long as Lancer continues to speak using this language, she gains an equivalent rank in Charisma.
Noble Phantasms:
Tamataye: Edict of Separation
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-30
Max targets: 150 people
The crystallization of the event where the heads of defeated British and French troops were impaled on stakes on the beaches of Madagascar. Its effects are similar to another warlord's Noble Phantasm, wherein the concept of "impalement" is applied to the target, skewering it from the inside out. However, because it was not extensively used to desecrate the bodies of the slain, its range and the maximum number of targets it can affect are reduced.
Tangena Ordeal: Declaration of Guilt
Rank: D+
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Max targets: 1 person
The most brutal of ordeals one had to undergo to prove their innocence, this Noble Phantasm allows Lancer to also be summoned under the Assassin class. The poison extracted from the nuts of the tangena plant, while highly toxic, would normally have little effect against Servants. However, when prepared with the pieces of chicken skin, it becomes a battle of life and death. Once the target is presented with the poison and the skins, Lancer can enforce the ingestion of both the poison and the skins. If the target fails to vomit all three pieces of skin, they immediately die, as the poison becomes a Conceptual Weapon that destroys the body by enforcing the concept of "guilt". Only by having the ability to defy fate, or having means to counteract the conceptual poison can one overcome this harshest of ordeals.
Lore
Lancer is Ranavalona the Cruel, the despot of Madagascar who cruelly repressed all Western influences with scorched earth tactics, shrewd manipulation, and increasingly horrifying methods of execution. While she was by no means a saint, the writings of the French and British who had returned to their countries painted her an uncontrollable madwoman, brutally murdering her own people for amusement and regularly indulging in depravity.
When summoned in the Holy Grail War, her personality is a middle ground between the two. She has become a woman who can and will engage in acts of casual sadism, all the while maintaining her cold facade as queen. She will obey her Master on the surface, but will, without a doubt, betray them in the name of the traditionalist ideals she espouses. Her wish to the Holy Grail is to eradicate the entire continent of Europe, especially Britain and France, whose envoys and diplomats had suppressed the potential of her kingdom, turning it into the deformed country it is today.

Skills:
Item Construction: C
Caster specializes in the creation of golems in the shape of statuary. Because they are made for their form, their functions are rather limited.
Territory Creation: -
Caster does not have access to this skill due to the peculiar nature of her Noble Phantasm.
Mental Pollution: D
The death of a dearly beloved has left Caster mentally broken, allowing for several bizarre acts which have left her legend forever changed.
Noble Phantasms:
Abaton: The Self Enshrined in Stone
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1-10
Max targets: 5 people
A lustrous marble statue ten feet tall, depicting a woman dressed in battle armor and wielding a spear. The statue can move about and attack, but only has limited combat ability that cannot best the Knight classes. In this sense, it would be practical to call it a "mini-Servant" summoned by Caster so that she can focus working on her other Noble Phantasm. The subject of the statue is actually Caster herself, before she was destroyed by her grief over the loss of her beloved. Not wanting to wallow in any more self-pity, Caster naturally has some reservations over its usage.
Mausoleum: The Grand Tomb
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-60
Max targets: 500 people
A marvelous structure made to house the dead that serves as Caster's Temple. Because she was already deceased by the time this wonder was completed, the Mausoleum must be rebuilt from scratch into the present day. Like another Ancient Wonder whose existence has been sublimed into that of a Noble Phantasm, Caster requires materials from the original Mausoleum in order to bring forth the new one. Once completed, it boosts her parameters and allows her access to grander mysteries imbued by the craftsmen involved with its construction and a powerful golem factory, complete with its own prana furnaces, that manufactures statues to protect the tomb.
Lore
Caster is Artemisia II of Caria, the queen of Halicarnassus who undertook the labor of crafting the Mausoleum for her late brother-husband, King Maussolus. She is not to be confused with Artemisia I, the warrior queen who fought on King Xerxes' behalf during the Persian War.
Unfortunately, the loss of her one true love has changed Artemisia, and not for the better. Her once fair countenance has turned pallid and gaunt, and it would be no understatement to call her a ghost of her former self. She has become quiet, though further conversation reveals a bitter view of the world and very low self-esteem. Her wish to the Holy Grail is to be with her beloved once more, whether in life or in death.

It's pretty fun beaming people to death with sunlight. Makes me feel like a six-year old with a magnifying glass. Also Archimedes is based as fuck. And yeah, my Artemisia II is kinda Avicebron mixed with Semiramis and just a slight hint of Gilles, and Ranavalona was a basically a genderbent Extra!Vlad with even more crazy.
Also, I think Casters' Noble Phantasms serving as their base of operations are becoming a thing.
i'm going to assume Semi started it (and to a lesser extent Gilles with Prelati's subbing in for his class skills), but i don't mind it much. Some candidates have structures that are legitimately NP-worthy and there's no reason it can't be connected to their Territory Creation skill, in a good sheet.
The Antikythera NP is pretty clever, though i wonder if it'd wreck Servants Depletion Garden-style or not. Would prana still reach them on their tethers?
The Antikythera NP is pretty clever, though i wonder if it'd wreck Servants Depletion Garden-style or not. Would prana still reach them on their tethers?
It wouldn't wreck the Master-Servant connection, just kill/amplify the mana in the air, so if the world suddenly goes Notes because of it they'd still be OK if the Master is decent.
Archimedes is defintly awesome. Was not expecting Ranavalona. Can't say much about her sheet; I read an article on her once, but I don't know that much about her.

Charisma: (A) (A+) Can be said to have achieved the greatest level of popularity as a human being.
Imperial Privilege: (EX) Skills that are essentially impossible to possess can be obtained for a short period of time. In cases when the Rank is above A, even the "burden to the body" is acquired (such as Divinity).
An Actresses Charm and Grace: (C) This skill increases its wielder’s Charisma and lulls men into false sense of security around Caster making them more receptive to her.
Noble Phantasms:
Hagia Sophia: The Magna Ecclesia Rank: (EX) Type: Anti-Army Range: 10-90 Maximum number of targets: 1000
Description: Using Territory Creation to gather the resources necessary, Caster is able to construct the Hagia Sophia as her floating fortress and as a throne worthy of her imperial title. The perimeter of the church is protected by the Theodosian Field, an invisible shield projected from the fortress walls that negates damage done to the fortress by anything less than an A ranked noble phantasm. Atop the fortress walls are ten siphōn’s which project torrents of Greek fire at would be attackers. Should an attacker breach the field or be allowed into the church by Caster or her Master, neither side would be able to instigate a fight or commit an act of violence within the confines of the Holy Church as a result of the Church being sanctified ground. This makes laying siege to the church largely pointless, unless the church were to be completely destroyed. Theoretically Caster and her Master could hold up in her fortress for the entire war, hiding from battle, but this would go against Caster’s character as she is not one to run and hide from her troubles and would likely require her Master to make use of a command spell or risk being killed at her hands.
Lance of Longinus Rank: C Type: Anti-Unit Range: 1-4 Maximum number of targets: 1-2
Description: According to legend, the fabled spear that pierced the side of Christ once made its way into the vaults of the Hagia Sophia. Because of this, Caster cannot access the Lance until after the construction of the Hagia Sophia. The Lance is an anti-divinity weapon which becomes more powerful the greater the Divinity of the heroic spirit it is used against. Its major drawback is that unless the blow that it lands would kill the victim it does no damage at all. Wielding the Lance increases Caster's Strength, Endurance, and Agility by one rank, but reduces her Luck to E Rank as a reflection of Longius’ strength as a centurion, but ill-fated nature.
Lore
True Name: Empress Theodora: The Queen Behind the Throne
Theodora is one of those rare figures that during the course of her life managed to tarnish a hero’s glorious legend; that hero being General Belisarius.
Born the daughter of bear trainer for the hippodrome's Green faction in Constantinople and an actress/dancer at a brothel there was little reason to believe that this woman would go on to become the most powerful woman in the world. In her youth, she would work as a dancer in a brothel, engaging in "indecent exhibitions on stage" and providing sexual services off stage. During this time she would come to meet and befriend Belisarius’ wife, Antonina. She would become consort to a government official who took her with him to North Africa, only to abandon her in Egypt four years later. A destitute actress, desperately trying to make her way back to the Imperial capital, by luck, she came into contact with the Patriarch of Alexandria and found religion. She became a Maiphysite Christian and gave up her former lifestyle when she finally returned to Constantinople. There, her beauty drew the attention of the heir to the imperial throne, Justinian. Taken in by her beauty and wit the young royal wished to marry her immediately, but his uncle would not allow it as it violated Roman Law, which prohibited government officials from marrying actresses. After the death of his wife, Justinian’s uncle relented and repealed the law so that the two could be married.
After her exemplary turn of luck brought her from being an “actress” to Empress of the Roman Empire, she refused to allow herself to fall from power. When her husband wanted to flee Constantinople during the Nika Riots she chastised him and his court and convinced them to stay and fight. 30,000 rioters were slaughtered as a result of her convincing her husband to stay. After the riots, she and her husband rebuilt the city of Constantinople and built twenty-five new churches, the greatest of these being the Hagia Sophia. During her time as Empress, she would expand the rights of woman (including rights of divorce) and she worked to undermine her husband’s competing religious policies, including ordering General Belisarius to betray his religion and dethrone the pope and replace him with a Maiphysite. Beautiful, manipulative, and lucky, Theodora was the most powerful woman in all of Europe, if not the whole world.
