Hello, everyone! First-time poster here. I got this idea from looking at some of the fairy tale servants and wondering why hasn't someone done this guy yet, especially since he is technically one of the more famous heroes out there. So here is my first shot. Critiques are welcomed of course.
Class: Archer (Avenger, Assassin, Rider)
Alignment: True Neutral
Type: Earth
Servant Ranking: ****
Origin: Grimm Fairy Tales (Little Red Cap, Little Snow White, The Four Clever Brothers, The Two Brothers , Donkey Cabbages )
Region: Northern Europe
Height/Weight: 214 cm/140 kg
Allies: Red Riding Hood, Snow White
Enemies: The BIG Bad Wolf
Parameters:
STR: B
CON: B
AGI: C
Mana: B+
Luck: A
NP: A+
Class Skills:
Magic Resistance (B) - The ability to ward off magic spells. Having face against witches, fairies and magical beasts in his life it is difficult for him to be affected even by spells of High-Thaumaturgy or Greater Rituals.
Independent Action (A) - The ability to remain independent even when rejecting the Magical Energy supply from one's Master. At this rank, it is possible for him to stay in the world for about a week without a Magical Contract. However to use noble phantasms of great mana expenditure an alternative source is necessary.
Personal Skills:
Beast Killer (A) - The ability to unleash a special attack towards magic beasts and wild animals. Possessing deep knowledge and experience against many phantasmal beasts. He not only does increase damage against animals but also gains intuitive knowledge, including strength and weaknesses, on any life-form of Beast alignment.
Surgical Procedure (B) - The capability of surgical repair with use of a bloodstained scalpel(or in this case an ax). While technically from a time period where such techniques were rather...poor, to say the least. In some versions of his legends, Archer is skilled enough to slice open the stomach of a wolf and put stones inside and re-sew it back up without any complications whatsoever.
Sage of the Forest (C+) - The possession of secrets and wisdom of the woodland realms. The Forest of fairy tales was a magical place filled with magic, danger, fairies and transformation. Due to having grown up his whole life in such place, he was blessed with the estoric knowledge of its mysteries. grant an equivalent rank Skills of Animal Dialogue, herbalism, Instinct, Item Construction, Rune Magic, and Shapeshift.
Vitrification (B+) - A serene state of mind. A mental protection that nullifies mental interference. Additionally, he can emulate Presence Concealment to some extent( how he was able to sneak up on the Big Bad Wolf?)

Welcome! I'll just jump right into it then since you've got the format down already.
I do like the concept of the Huntsman, and truthfully I don't remember very much about his actual importance to literature, but I've only read Snow White and Red Riding Hood of your listed sources.
He seems really bulky for an Archer, without much in the way of offsetting his relatively high Strength and Agility.
I'm not sure if Animal Dialogue really counts if the animals can naturally talk in most of his stories, but again if he's done it in any of his other sources disregard this. If anything you can combine it with Beast Killer into an original skill. Surgical Procedure is...way too high. Jack has E and she's able to remove organs in such a way nobody knows how she actually got in there, and cut off Command Seals.
The Noble Phantasms in general are pretty wanked. Balmung shoots raw ether and it's a reforged version of a sword made by Odin. The axe just needs to be scrapped entirely or nerfed incredibly. Especially since an Archer's strongest NP is an axe?
Other than that, I love how you included so many sources and pictures for the NPs and references. That's good stuff.
Probably sounded a little harsh but I do think it has promise. Once again, welcome to BL.
Did the Huntsman in Two Brothers, Red Riding Hood and Snow White is the same person? Or you just fuse them together?
If the first, that is very neat stuff. If the latter, I found that is very creative of you and interesting.
I like the part where you researched a lot of seemingly unrelated stuff, like the silver bullet part and the axe, that is dedication.
The Axe NP, I wouldn't judge how BS someone NP is, considering the fact TM itself like to wank a lot of their characters.
But I think the way you read/analyze the story for an NP is very good, or at least interesting enough to pique my interest.
I mean I like your basic, yet logical transition of : A wolf that ate a person in one bite -> Must be big enough to swallow a person without trying -> Not your ordinary magic wolf, lets make the wolf a Divine Beast while we at it! -> You got a super Axe!
Yeah. I was deciding between this pic and Bloodborne character. But considering that Heracles can be over 8 ft tall and have the A-rank agility and was one of the best Archers of Greek mythology. Why not?
Yeah. I gonna edit out Animal Dialogue, probably gonna combine it with Sage of the Forest.
I personally consider Huntsman's canonical feat of opening a wolf's gut to putting dozens of stone inside it, so when the wolf tries to get a drink from a river he sinks, and sewing it back up using only an axe (or in some versions of the story a pair of scissors), to be better than Jack, who only got the Surgical Procedure Skill because she cut up some prostitutes.
Also is cutting off Command Seals really difficult? IIRC, you just need to remove the arm with it, as they are physically present on the body. I recall Medea doing the same thing by ripping off Shirou's arm in a bad end.
Considering how a lot of noble phantasms are BS and haxx I think it is justified. I mean Excaliber went to some random sword that just shines brightly to an Anti-Fortress/Anti-Planet death beam, Lancelot went from "I can fight with a stick just as well as a sword" to "I can use anything, even a modern F-15 fighter jet as if I was born with it" and Gae Bolg went from a spear that simply causes thorns to sprout where it strikes to being able to reverse causality somehow. I feel that since killing the wolf and somehow bringing back Red Riding Hood from the dead is an actual feat he did in the "real-life version" of story, I am simply explaining how he did it - since logically she should be dead even if she was swallowed whole.
As for the bow, well Dragons are rather OP in the Nasuverse, so I figure I need something similarly OP to take them down. It's basically a sup upped version of Hrunting only it's spammable and doesn't have a charge up time.
You do have a point, originally the Huntsman would normally only get his ax if he was summoned as an Avenger. However, Achilles was able to have access to his spear and shield noble phantasm even though he was summoned as a Rider. Additionally, Chu Chulainn would have access to a castle should he be summoned in Ireland due to his fame. Considering that the story of Little Red Riding Hood is more well known than even the big names of Classical Mythology or even other modern-day fictions such as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, I would assume he would always get the axe regardless of what class he is in or location he is summoned.
Also, this is not all of his noble phantasm. Since the story of Donkey Cabbages has a story of a huntsman who apparently had access to a Goku-style flying cloud to ride and had a magical cloak that allowed him to teleport anywhere he wishes to go. But I figure he would only have access to those NPs as a Rider.
Thanks. I got this idea from skimming Grimm Fairytales and thought one day "who is this random hunter guy that keeps showing up he must be an important guy" and I toyed with the idea that they might be the same person who just happens to get around a lot.
Thanks. I realized the fridge logic of how big the wolf must have been in order to swallow the humans whole. In my take of Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf is actually a jotun who survive Ragnorak (since it does take place in Germany after all).
As detailed in the Gylfaginning(p.24 XII), "A witch dwells to the east of Midgard, in the forest called Ironwood: in that wood dwell the troll-women, who are known as Ironwood-Women. The old witch bears many giants for sons, and all in the shape of wolves; and from this source are these wolves sprung."
EDIT: This is my headcanon of what the Big Bad Wolf looks like.

"My「Soul」is being weighed down by gravity..."True Name:
Rider
Yuri Alekseyevich GagarinЮ́рий Алексе́евич Гага́рин
Title:First in Space"Первый в космосе"
Origin: The Soviet Union
Alignment: Lawful Good
Likes: Sports (especially Ice Hockey)
Dislikes: Nazis
Talents: Engineering
Natural Enemy: Americans
Background
Parameters: Strength (C), Endurance (B), Agility (C), Mana (E), Luck (D) Noble Phantasm (A).
Class Skills:
Riding: (B) - Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill, even vehicles that did not exist in the time period one was alive in for they are no exception. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species.
Personal Skills:
Charisma: (C)
A composite Skill consisting of a person's charm as well as the natural talent to command or unify an army or country. As a formerof the Soviet Air Force, Rider is able to command all those of lower standing.ColonelПолковник
Determination of Steel: (B)
A composite Skill, combining the effects of the Bravery and Calm and Collected Skills, that allows one to completely ignore pain. Rider was part of "The Vanguard Six" who were chosen out of 2000 to go through accelerated training which pushed their physical and mental endurance to the extreme, all in order to pilot in the harsh conditions of outer space.
Pioneer of the Stars: (A)
The unique Skill given to heroes that became turning points in human history. All difficult voyages and challenges which are considered "impossible" turn into "events that can be realized". This skill can only be active whilst Riding.
Noble Phantasm:
(C)Kedr:Let's Go!Кедр:Поехали!
After commandeering a vehicle and riding it, Rider can "upgrade" it by combing parts of his Vostok craft onto the vehicle. This allows the vehicle to preform above what it normally should be able to withstand. The reinforcements also allow it to harm entities like Servants, whether it be by directly by ramming them or with the small firearms attached to it from Vostok. This Upgrade seals off Rider's other Noble Phantasm and also can only be used on mechanical mounts like cars, motorcycles, planes etc etc.
(A)The Motherland hears, The Motherland knows, Where her son flies in the skyРодина слышит, Родина знает, Где в облаках её сын пролетает
Rider directly summons his famous spacecraft - the Vostok 1, and rides it high into the air. From there it sits in the sky, firing beams of energy down onto his enemies. The Vostok remains stationary so it is vulnerable to a strong projectile attack, but also it only has enough energy for 108 minutes of use - whether it be used up all at once or in periods.
Happy Cosmonautics Day! 56 years ago today, Yuri Gagarin became the first man to go to Outer Space. Hence why I was rushing to get this Servant Sheet finished by today. But yeah, it all started when I was checking out what other Servants had been created and I saw that there was a Neil Armstrong sheet already created but no Gagarin and I sought to rectify that. As usual when it comes to real people, I try to pack as many references to stuff that happened surrounding them into the sheet, kudos to anyone that can identify all the references. It's always a pain to come up with reasons why more modern heroes could fight, so I settled on the idea that Gagarin would utilise his Riding skills more so than most and incorporate it into his fighting style.

"Come on, Master. Are you really sitting around inside again all day?"Source: https://twitter.com/s_696/status/778212704469131264
Class: Rider
Alternate Class: N/A
Alignment: Lawful Good
Origin: Historical
Region: Sumer
Epithet: The Wandering Shepherd-King
Parameters
Strength: C
Endurance: C
Agility: A+
Mana: B
Luck: A++
NP: A++
Height/Weight: 5’7"/130lbs
Gender: Male
Likes: Inanna, Gilgamesh, Uruk
Dislikes: Personal gain, Inanna, Gilgamesh
Talents: Wandering
Natural enemy: None?
Class Skills:
Magic Resistance: (C)
Magic Resistance grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether.
A general rejection of magic has been bundled up with Rider’s various other blessings from the gods. Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
Riding: (A+)
Riding is a Class Skill of Rider and Saber class Servants, denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. Rider-class Servants will typically possess a high rank. It is said that dragon type mounts are an exception, requiring a different ability other than Riding
All vehicles and all creatures up to the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind. While there are some reports that hypothesize that Rider’s mount is indeed a dragon on the scale of a Quetzalcoatlus, the mount itself will dissuade this notion quickly.
Personal Skills:
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 or Demonic Beast raises. It can also decrease due to one's dislike for the gods. Those who have A Rank Divinity or above has reached the throne of a god. 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.
The somehow human son of Utu, the supreme god of the sun, and Uras a goddess of the earth, Rider is a demigod of the highest caliber. Becoming deified as a god after his death, Rider possesses the highest natural level of Divinity.
Divine Protection of the Firmament: (A)
A form of divine protection that grants the user various skills depending on the situation the user finds themselves in, as well as the time of day. A skill that shifts depending on the needs of the user, given that the user is in the right place at the right time.
When Rider was traveling with his brothers on the way to Aratta, he grew sick for unknown reasons and was left behind in a cave to heal. Out of food and in constant pain, Rider begged his beloved gods to save him. Three of them answered, and are as follows.
- Utu’s Love: The first god that Rider prayed to, and his own father. Rider had actually expired before his father was able to answer his prayers the first time, so he was brought back to life. Later, after exiting the cave, Utu sent life-giving plants and herbs to help his son recover. During the day and should the need arise, DPotF takes the form of Mana Burst (Life). A form of Mana Burst that translates magical power directly into life energy.
- Inanna’s Love: The divine prostitute that was sent down on Rider’s first night to comfort him. It was she who eased his pain with her...gifts. This version of the skill can used day or night, and functions as Bravery.
- Suen’s Love: The third god that Rider prayed to. After Utu had brought him back to life, Rider was still left in a nearly comatose state. Suen passed on the ability to stand back up, giving Rider perhaps what he wanted most. This version of the skill can only be used at night, and functions as Battle Continuation.
A stipulation is that by using any version of this skill, Rider has an equal chance for his parameters to drop drastically, mimicking his sickness in the mountain cave.
Protection From Arrows: (A)
Protection from Arrows is the ability to deal with projectiles, an increased defense against ranged attacks by predicting the projectiles' trajectories through exceptional means, such as hearing the sound of air being cut, or sensing the killing intent of the enemy.
The invasion of Aratta was poorly planned and almost a lost cause, in part due to the perilous obstacles they were greeted with near the city gates: “...From the city it rained down javelins as if from the clouds, slingstones numerous as the raindrops falling in a whole year whizzed down loudly from Aratta's walls. The days passed, the months became long, the year turned full circle. A yellow harvest grew beneath the sky. They looked askance at the fields. Unease came over them. Slingstones numerous as the raindrops falling in a whole year landed on the road.”
Pinned down, Rider was the only one of the battle party to volunteer. He ran to the walls of Aratta, and back to Enmerkar to report. He then ran back to Uruk, all through a torrent of projectiles that fell like water.
Rider is able to avoid projectiles with only the barest glance, and there is seemingly no limit to how many he can actually avoid. As long as the attack is a thrown type, he can avoid even Noble Phantasms, but he can't gain the effects of this protection with respect to wide range attack types where the attack range of the weapon explodes on impact, or a direct attack by a weapon that has simply long reach.

Lugalbanda: Another really good sheet from you, Ail. Very powerful, but given he's the father of freaking Gilgamesh I'd say he more then deserves it. His NPs are creatively thought out, particularly the second and third ones.
The only thing else I can say is that it seems like you're not including a Personality section with your Servants anymore. Not that it's so big a deal since I can get a fairly good gauge on his personality simply from the flavoring in his Skills and Noble Phantasms, but I'm at least a little curious as to how he'd play off Gil. (Especially since they have opposing Alignments)
(Nioh was definitely an influence to the sheet.)
(Not sure what to feel about this...)
“I may not be an legendary warrior, but I am certainly not a pushover. Now ready your blade, and witness the strength that my lord has granted me…!”

Lugabanda: Preeeetty sure you did snipe Daneel with that one. I've seen Gi's dad done a few times but this might be my favourite. The skills and NP's are all very well thought out. He's pretty dang strong but that would be more than acceptable being the King of Powerlevels dad. I did consider making a sheet of the guy myself but you certainly did a good enough job that I needn't bother.

Yasuke: I couldn't really think of anything for an NP for this guy aside from the flaming tower of the Honnō-ji incident so props for coming up with something I couldn't. It's nice but I can't shake the feeling it's missing a certain... something.

Lugabanda: Really like your Rider, as said already, he seems pretty powerful, but understandably so. In fact, kinda sad that it looks like, mostly due to comparability, ol' Gil would probably beat his old dad in a fight 9 times out of time, though I only find it sad because I hate that the only rule in the Fate universe that hasn't been broken yet is the whole, "Gil is the best evar" thing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, here's another Servant I came up with, the guy who inspired Ruroni Kenshin himself. He's a very simple, but I think effective Servant. He also contrasts nicely with my arguably OP Servant I last posted.
Name: Kawakami Gensai
Class: Saber
Alignment: Lawful Good
Height: 5‘9“
Weight: 185lbs.
Likes: Hobbies, Tea, Learning
Dislikes: Boredom
Talents: Swordsmanship, Calligraphy
Natural Enemy: N/A
Strength: C
Endurance: C
Agility: A
Mana: D
Luck: D
N.Phantasm: -
Class Skills:
Presence Concealment (A): While not able to conceal his physical presence at all, he can make himself appear not be a threat, and could even walk right by an enemy without them suspecting him. This ability is negated once preparations to strike are made.
Personal Skills:
Shiranui-ryu (A): The style developed and practiced solely by Kawakami Gensai. This sword-style is so legendary, it has almost reached the level of being a Noble Phantasm all of its own. It was based on lightning fast draws and fluid motions, but transcends normal swordsmanship. He was only able to master this style after creating a pseudo-reality marble within himself. This reality marble stores “strikes”, that he seals inside the sheathe of his sword. And upon drawing his sword, the “strikes” stored are released as if fired from a machine gun. At his level of mastery, he can store 10 “strikes” within his sheathe.
Expert of Many Specializations (C): A skill that comes from his years of studiousness. The skills that fall under this ability are: Martial Arts, Tea Ceremonies, Calligraphy, and Flower Arrangement.
Noble Phantasm:
N/A
true name:Orpheus
likes: music, eurydice, and harmony.
dislikes: sadness, disharmony, and death.
alignment: good.
class: castor
alternative classes: berserker, assassin.
stats:
strength:
C
endurance:
C
agility:
C+
luck:
d
mana:
A++
background:
he is the most famous musician in greek history, castor is the version of himself before eurydice's death, his life started sadly as he was born to a city and family obsessed with war, and born with only a natural talent with music and instruments, he was shunned by his family. soon thou he began lessons with his mother which is were he learned and was the first human to play the lyre. which he played so greatly it appealed even Apollo, who gave him his lyre as a token of appreciation. form there he taught other humans to play the lyre and become famous for his music. eventually he settled in his home town, with his wife eurydice.
personality: he is carefree, and would rather play music then fight, he is also highly intelligent, and would likely seek to teach his masters the beauty of music, the world, and humanity itself. his wish for the grail is to rid the world of sadness, war, and even death itself.
personal skills:
music if the heart, A++
this ability allows him to at an instinctual level, know exactly which music will affect a person the most, allowing to put any person into a hypnotic state just by sining, altho a magic resistance of d or higher could block the hypnotic state as would the highest level of will power.
class skills:
territory creation, A+
he can cchange the very landscape which takes the look the look of a gaint opera house like place, with structures made of instruments.
item creation,B++
he creates magical instruments which when played correctly, can give high stats in luck, and other charm based effects.
NP:
the lyre of Apollo, EX, type: anti army, range 1000.
this NP allows castor too play music so great he can effect even inanmnemt objects. by paying the right songs he make the very rocks theses form a awl and protect, make the wind block any magic that comes his way. send the most powerful servants to there knees, or have them kill themselves, in a more basic term it allows castor to count roll using his magic any thing that exists.

Yasuke: A black samurai in feudal era Japan, huh? I admit he certainly sounds like a fascinating historical figure, one I never would've known of if not for this sheet. His personality is well fleshed-out, his relationship with Nobu is both amusing and kind of heartwarming and his NPs are simple, but fitting and interesting (the first one in particular sounds like it could make for all kinds of silly situations).
Gensai: The basic idea is good, but I think it really needs to be fleshed out more. I get that he doesn't have an NP due to being a "fake" Servant like Kojiro, but you could still add personality and lore or what-not. Shiranui-Ryu is really cool, though. I have a major fondness for the Iaido sword style and your take on it fits with the "reality-breaking ultimate technique" established by the likes of Kojiro.
Orpheus: Mostly okay, but the stats seem a little too high for a Caster. And why would he qualify as an Assassin?
I have another two choice for me to make a Servant sheet, so who should I work on, Margaret of Anjou or Sir John Hawkwood?
