A tricky one, though I may have some basic ideas in mind. Time to see if I can make it work.

AWAKEN MY RULERS
Servant Foreigner:
Appearance:
Source
True Name: Alexander Scriabin
Alignment: Neutral Mad
Alternate Classes: Caster, Berserker
Armament: A violin carved from human bones. Normally Foreigner wouldn't know how to play it, being mainly a composer rather than performer, but Tru'Nembra has lent him the knowledge. He can also use the violin's bow as a sword, slicing by launching blades of sound, and the body as a shield to defend against attacks.
Strength- D
Agility- C
Endurance- B
Mana- A
Luck- C
NP- A++
Personality/Lore
Class Skills:
Existence Beyond The Domain- A+
A Skill inherent to the Foreigner Class, asserting one's existence outside of time and reality. Foreigner is partially resistant to physical and mental damage, as his true self exists far beyond the reality perceivable by humans. This defense can be bypassed if the attacker themselves is connected to "something beyond man", like by possessing the Divinity Skill.
A side-effect of this Skill is that Foreigner's body manifests traits of his patron god. In this case, having contracted with Tru'Nembra, an otherworldly entity made entirely out of sound, Foreigner gains the ability to use his very body as a musical instrument. He achieves this by opening holes in his body to let wind through, "playing" himself like a flute. Foreigner suffers no ill-effects from opening these holes, and he can find another use for them by lessening his own body-weight so he can glide through the air.
Divinity- B
Qualifies one's aptitude as a Divine Spirit. At higher ranks one reaches the level of a "Demigod"- a mixed-race of divine and mortal. As well as a musician Foreigner also dabbled in occultism and even wrote poems where he proclaimed himself a god. One line from his unfinished opera was "I am the apotheosis of world creation. I am the aim of aims, the end of ends".
This Skill has been boosted by Foreigner's fusion with Tru'Nembra, whom he believes to be a benevolent "Angel of Music" driving his works.
Insanity- B
A Mental Pollution-like Skill gained from contracting with an evil god that can easily erode the fragile common sense and morals of humans. However, the main qualification for the Foreigner Class is being able to defy this erosion, either by maintaining their integrity as they descend into madness or, instead of being consumed by the madness, they consume the madness itself.
Foreigner's outward personality is unaffected by his becoming a host of Tru'Nembra. He still an elegant and composed man, albeit prone to eccentric fits of rage when his views are challenged. Tru'Nembra's only influence on his psyche is enflaming Foreigner's desire to let everyone hear his music, to share with the world the revelation he received. That such a scenario would be tantamount to the end of the world is something Foreigner is fully aware of, but unbothered by, considering it merely the "sublimation" of humanity to a higher spiritual state of being.
Personal Skills:
Protection Of The Music God (Abyss)- A
Ordinarily, a Skill that indicates one given divine protection by the goddess of arts Muse. Makes possible to distinguish all kinds of sounds and play a masterful music performance. Furthermore, plus modifiers are applied to the exercise of music Magecraft. In Foreigner's case, this Skill has been twisted by his unconscious pact with the Outer God of Music Tru'Nembra. His songs, while beautiful, carry the maddening symphony of the void, slowly gnawing at the sanity of those who hear them. Furthermore, Foreigner's playing can weaken the gap between worlds, calling forth lesser horrors from Azathoth's Court to serve as his familiars.
Incidentally, Foreigner himself is oblivious to the adverse effects of this Skill, as he merely perceives the sounds he creates as "beautiful music".
Pure Eyes Of Synesthesia- C
The psychic ability to see that which cannot normally be seen. They are similar to Mystic Eyes in that both are inheritable, however while Mystic Eyes are traits of the body, something like inheriting the traits of a parent's body, Pure Eyes are like inheriting fate and destiny, the offspring continuing the parent's will and quest.
Foreigner possesses unique Pure Eyes that allow him to perceive sounds as colors. When listening to a symphony, he'd also "see" a brilliant array of colors shimmering and fading in time with the music. While it's a great inspiration to him in composing his music, this Skill has no particular usefulness for combat.
Foreigner was known to have integrated elements of Synesthesia into his music, where stimuli from one sense come to be associated with a perception in another sense, often sounds into colors. While it's unknown if he actually had this condition himself in life, the legends that he did are enough to give rise to this Personal Skill.
Eye For Art- B
An infatuation for works of art. If a Servant's Noble Phantasm has anecdotes relating to music, there's a high chance he'll be able to intuit their true identity.
Human Anatomy Understanding (Music)- B
A Skill that allows one to grasp the inner working of the body, like a precise musical instrument. Foreigner studied the influence of music on anatomy, believing that the human body itself was a musical instrument that could respond and resonate to all kinds of sound. This knowledge allows Foreigner to focus the effects of his music on particular parts of the target's body, realizing unique and enhanced effects. For instance he can apply a status-buff by stimulating the target's muscles with sound, throw them off-balance by resonating with their inner-ear or even create illusions. Foreigner can also apply these effects to himself.
Noble Phantasm
So here's my entry for the contest. When I heard about this guy's works and "madness", I figured he just had to be a Foreigner. Guy basically planned to pull a real-life version of Instrumentality from Eva. As usual, comments and critiques would be welcome. Thanks for reading y'all!

Alexander Scriabin: This dude. This dude right here. He's something else, huh.
I say that with the best of intentions - as a compliment, even - but I want to punch him in the face. This is amazing. I love musical Servants, they're always so creative and they all have that flare that only an artist could have, and this man is no different. I particularly found very interesting the Outer deity you've choose for him, very fitting too. Of course it would make this guy, who was already insufferably in love with his own music, to be even more demented towards it. I suppose that this Servant truly teaches us that anything in excess is bad, including passion.
(ALSO! That Human Anatomy Understanding (Music) Skill is so creative aaaaaaa. Of COURSE he'd have something like that, OF COURSE. And as you said yourself, his noble phantasm indeed reminds me of EVA's Instrumentality Project - which in turn just makes me fear more and more this man hahaha. What a great start for this month's prompt, truly... You've suprassed yourself once more.
Thanks for the feedback Frenzy. I wasn't sure how well I'd given across his personality in the sheet, so I'm glad you felt it came through. He's basically intended to be a guy who genuinely means well but is so overwhelmingly obsessed with himself he just can't see how other people's viewpoints can differ from his own or that his "salvation" might be seen instead as a horrifying violation. Which of course makes him a perfect vessel for Tru'Nembra to manipulate, since he doesn't have any internal sanity-check for his actions or people he'd listen to telling him he's going astray.

Murrieta: Dang, this is a solid sheet. I've seen Joaquin sheets before but usually as a typical gunslinger anti-hero dude, whereas you really crafted a unique take on him. His backstory is really well-written, and the "fallen hero of justice" idea is a neat take on the Avenger Class. One thing I'm curious about is, why are his NPs in French? Since Joaquin was a Mexican-American figure it seems to me like his NPs would either be named in Spanish or just English. I don't get why French, though they do sound cool. Maybe it's just because one of the prominent adaptations of his legend was French or something, but I'm just curious...
Aww Royd, thank you very much! I'm always super honored when veterans like you praise these sheets, it means a lot, really. I'm glad I could provide a new take on this figure, because holly molly he deserves that. He's a very interesting individual and I just wanted to make a Servant that could translate that feeling of "he can be so many things" other than just a gunslinger. (Besides, we kinda have a lot of those in the Fateverse but not so many actual, disheartened fallen heroes (who aren't a crazy Berserker.) The closest I can think of him for a comparsion is Emiya Alter.
But YES! His Noble Phantasms' names, I thought of explaining it somewhere but as always, you can never post sheets past midnights bcs you'll always forget something... These are references from the character Zorro, rather than "Joaquín Murrieta". I kinda tried to double down on the idea that he's not his own person, he's "whatever people believe he was", and Zorro is a big figure in the colective imagination that would most certainly mold Avenger to a certain degree. But anyway, seriously! Thanks a lot again! ;_;
Edward Williams: Skull. Skull, Skull... THIS WAS SO GOOD. I found out completely by accident that everything about this sheet had a hidden, collapsed text somewhere, and it was as if I was a kid again in a treasure hunt. This alone elevated our experience with the Servant's story, as we would finding out more and more about him through that act. You did an amazing job fleshing out both his "ideal" self as much as his "real" self - and both are equally tragic but also equally amusing. Seriously, I'm kinda overwhelmed because I have so much to say but I can't quite find the words... So at least, lemme say: you did SO GOOD here. What a strong entry!
(Alright I also liked quite a lot your jab at this guy's delusions by refusing to use his made-up name hahaha. You're really poking his wounds right now, you know?)
