Ok, I'm picking up a few nods to my Quest Saber so that and going all Dark Souls with the FC is enough for me to be very interested in this.

FINALLY I FINISHED THIS

I'd planned on doing Coulter as my second submission here, but it seems you've beaten me to the punch. Don't feel bad though, I probably wouldn't have mustered the inspiration to finish his sheet in time for the deadline anyways.
Now for actual feedback... making him an "embodiment of fear" was a very cool and creative idea. When I saw you classed him as Avenger I was at first worried that you were just ripping off Lobo, but you definitely succeeded in crafting a unique character here. I'm not crazy over his NPs though. The first one feels contrived (how does a kill-count equate to invincibility?) and the second one seems more like an extension of his Charisma Skill then anything.

thanks for the feedback!
for the first NP I went with the classical "he was killed this way, so he can't be killed with any other way" Coulter was killed only after killing other forty people, so he can only be killed after killing forty people, except by insta-death effects (like gáe bolg or cursed arm's heartbeat of delusion).
His charisma skill allow to create a small pack with low-level wolf-like creatures, his second NP only makes every canine creature in 5 km 'go berserk', they won't follow him.
I see what you mean with his first NP, but it still seems contrived since "killed some amount of people (40 is a pretty arbitrary number) before dying themselves" isn't anything unusual or unique to Coulter's legend. I think you would've been better off going with something to do with the harsh winters that allowed him to invade Paris in the first place.
By "creating" a pack, do you mean recruiting wolves and stray dogs and the like into his pack or actually creating them like familiars? Because if the latter, that's not really what Charisma does.

At first I thought about the winters too, but couldn't come with any idea good enough... And when I searched about him I found this death toll in every source, so I don't think it's arbitrary.
Yeah, I mean recruiting.By "creating" a pack, do you mean recruiting wolves and stray dogs and the like into his pack or actually creating them like familiars? Because if the latter, that's not really what Charisma does.

Creator Notes:
The theme is "animals". I figure this is close enough to count, even if it's unlikely to win. This wasn't my first idea; that was doing the turtle/tortoise from Aesop's fables as a Shielder. I worked out that idea a week ago, but it just didn't sit right with me, for some reason. So here we are. I could've done much the same with Actaeon, but that would tie back into Artemis. That would mean I'd have to reconcile canon Artemis with a more murderous interpretation, and that was a bit too much effort for me when I barely know what she's like in canon.
Anyway, I have read the original Bacchae in the original Greek, but that was years ago and I've since all but forgotten the more intricate parts of Greek grammar except that the optativus obliquus can be a bitch. I apologize if I've mangled anything.
It is beyond the Darśanas and the Nāstikas. It is all-seeing. Its subtle form is beyond praise. Its eternally blissful form is the beginning of the beginning. The form of that divine linga is the true God. The guru of the creed is an embodiment of kindness and compassion. He places God in your soul, and he also places God in your hand. The six-syllabled mantra, the supreme mantra, is its mantra. Devotion to Him - with great locks of hair, clad in ashes and rudrashaka beads – places a man beyond the cycle of birth and death. This path offers nothing less than liberation in this lifetime."

Class: Alter Ego

True Name: Basava
Alignment: True Neutral
Place of Origin: India, 12th century.
Parameters:
STR: B+
END: B+
AGI: C+
MGI: A
LCK: B
NP: A++
Height: 187cm
Weight: 72kg
Likes: Shiva, Shiva-related jewelry, meditation.
Dislikes: Other gods, loud music.
Talent: Destruction, poetry.
Natural Enemy: Brahma, Vishnu
Attribute: Man
Armament: Body
Catalyst: 12th century Vibhuti, old Kannadan manuscripts
Class Skills:
Independent Action: A+
The ability to remain manifest even as one is without a source of Mana from their Master. Due to the influence of Nandi on Basava’s body giving him access to the Divine Beast’s Mana-generating core, this skill has been boosted immensely, having originally been much lower when its source was simply Basava’s free spirited nature. At this rank, operating without a Master becomes possible so long as he does not unleash his Noble Phantasms fully.
Mad Enhancement: D+
Hinders mental capacities in return for an increase in physical power. Basava and Nandi share one body and mind when summoned in this state, causing a fractured mentality to arise even as their wills only clash on methodology. While the Servant’s sanity remains, he is prone to violent mood swings and rash actions due to Nandi’s influence.
Personal Skills:
Malla-Yuddha: Jarasandhi A+
An ancient form of wrestling-based martial arts from India, split into four schools named after the techniques used by four mythical heroes of Hinduism. Hanumanti focuses on pure skill and technical superioty, Jambuvanti focuses on locks and submissive holds, while Bhimaseni simply attempts to overwhelm the enemy with pure, well-placed strength. Jarasandhi, named after a fellow disciple of Shiva, focuses on breaking limbs and joints.
While Basava originally practiced this martial art recreationally, if skillfully, being endowed with the power of a fierce guardian deity has transformed and enhanced Basava’s martial arts into a violent and destructive thing that snaps bones and tears flesh equally with every blow and throw. At this rank, only body parts belonging to beings with monster or demigod-level endurance can avoid being destroyed in one well-placed blow.
Divinity: D
Measures one’s aptitude as a Divine Spirit. Basava, a pure human, has a low rank from earnestly pursuing Shiva’s likeness throughout his life and thus becoming very similar to his deity of choice. Furthermore, this skill has increased from Basava becoming one with Nandi, a creature of divine origin.
: EXLoveBhakti
A practice originating in Tamil Nadu, described in the Bhagavad Gita as a path to Moksha through emotional devotion to a single deity. It denotes a removal of emphasis on ritualistic worship in lavish temples, instead proclaiming the worshipper’s body to be a temple. In other words, the renouncing ofworship in favor ofSthavarastaticworship.Jangamamoving
Basava championed this practice within his home state of Karnataka, after which it spread like wildfire to every corner of India, removing the need for translation of the Vedas by the Brahmin elite, insisting that personal spiritual development was enough that was all that one needed to achieve Moksha.
A multi-purpose skill, it filters out Mental Interference or suggestive Magecraft that would otherwise make him deviate from the teachings of Shiva, as well as grants him a massive bonus to attack against anyone who calls into question or mocks his belief. This, however, makes him very hard to reason with, as his Mad Enhancement and Nandi’s suggestions renders him particularly volatile.
In addition, this skill renders Basava extremely “Shiva-like”, making Noble Phantasms and abilities extra effective against Shiva or other gods of destruction extra effective against Basava too. In return for this demerit, Basava is able to use any Noble Phantasm of Shiva, Parvati or any of his Avatars as his own if he can somehow get ahold of them.
Incitement: C
A skill that denotes one’s ability to lead or guide the masses through masterful speeches and wordplay rather than raw charisma. When used against an individual, it can become a form of Mental Attack that makes the target question themselves. Basava earned enormous popularity in his home state during his lifetime for preaching that all men were created equal and that it was the actions and not the birth that denoted the mark of a saint. By founding the Anubhava Mantapa, a gathering hall where all people regardless of class and gender could gather and discuss spiritual questions, he was able to make full use of this ability during his life.
Noble Phantasms:
Thunder of ConvictionNandin: A
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1m
Max targets: 1000
The Noble Phantasm of Divine Beast Nandi, available only if Basava briefly gives control over himself to the White Bull within him. In return for a lapse of control and the sealing of his Incitement and Bhakti skills, his Divinity and Mad Enhancement both increase to A, and his physical stats all increase by one rank. Basava’s body also begins showing traits of the White Bull, such as a milk-white complexion, crescent moon tattoos made of Vibhuti appearing all over his skin and white animal-like pupils. Finally, Nandi’s inborn skin of diamonds manifests, covering Basava in glittering diamond studs. While this doesn’t convey much more protection than a normal armor of diamonds would, each of these diamonds are also a tiny Vajra, which, if struck, has a high chance of detonating and sending forth an enormous crackle of divine lightning in the direction of the trauma that shattered it. These diamonds do not reappear until the next time Nandin is activated. There is, of course, nothing stopping Basava from pulling off one of these diamonds and crushing them in his hand to unleash these lightning bolts. All things are made to be destroyed.
Be Reduced To Nothing In The Light of AnnihilationMahākāla:A++
Type: Anti-Creation
Range: Eyesight
Max targets: As many as the eye can see.
A poor imitation at best of Shiva’s almighty third eye, but it is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Basava, channeling every bit of his willpower into his forehead, forces his body to manifest a third eye that then opens wide. Anything within the line of sight of this eye that doesn’t make a willpower check is immediately reduced to ashes, including people, air, and all matter, by the piercing light that emits from Basava’s eye. However, the strain of mimicking Shiva’s Authority over destruction is something no mortal, even endowed with the power of Nandi, can withstand, and so Basava himself is reduced to ashes within ten breaths of manifesting this Noble Phantasm.

In truth I had the idea of a Coulter sheet when reading kagetsu tohyan, and wished so much to add some reference... But as my idea went in a completely different way, in the end decided to don't add anything...>Coulter sheet
>Not a single Tsukihime reference

Mm, I may as well. I don't think I'll ever have time to do what I wanted to do with this, at least not for a long while.
This was going to be one of the servants in my C-A-S storyline chain, in an Extra/Moon Cell setting, but it fits the prompt and is one of the ones I had finished, so why not?
Class: Lancer
True Name: "Chang'e"
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Parameters:
Strength: C
Agility: A
Endurance: D
Mana: B
Luck: A
Noble Phantasm: C
I. Lore (?):Spoiler:
II. Lore:
Spoiler:
Personality:
As Chang'e, Lancer strives to recreate her master's many quirks and vices. Playful and easygoing, she is quick to indulge herself in curiosities and temptations of all kinds, and is fond of gentle teasing. The kind of person who will pull at a thread no matter how firmly she is told not to do so, for good and ill. Despite her frivolous nature, her commentary is by equal measures insightful and cutting, and often her silliest comments have a grain of sober truth if evaluated in retrospect. While not technically proficient, her wisdom over thousands of years of observation and lonely contemplation is profound and was sufficient to qualify her as an administrator of the moon cell.
In reality, the Jade Rabbit is nothing like her master. Earnest and nervous in nature, she strives to pretend to be everything she remembers Chang'e to be, but while she can recreate every aspect of her companion, she can rarely predict exactly how the complicated goddess would have responded. At these times, or when her ability to hold her transformation is broken, the actual servant is forced to the forefront - an apologetic, softspoken and skittish animal trying her best to be what she is not. She is quick to admonish herself as nothing like her master, neither as quick-witted nor as witty nor as graceful. A timid, gentle soul whose only desire is to return to her master's side as quickly as possible, she will quickly retreat to the form and mannerisms of Chang'e as soon as her strength is sufficient.
But she can't accept any situation that puts someone she cares about in harm's way, and for that reason alone, she tries her best to take Chang'e's place, for all of her misgivings and inadequacies. Bonding with Lancer is difficult, given the persona she hides behind, but should one win her trust and affection, there is little the rabbit of the moon will not do to keep them safe and see their dreams to fruition.
Even if it means her own destruction once again.
Even if it means she will never see the fruit of her own desire.
Class Abilities:
Magic Resistance
Rank: B+
Cancels spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for her to be affected.
Personal Skills:
Shapeshift
Rank: B+++
A skill that refers to both borrowing bodies and appearance change. Lancer is known for having masqueraded as beautiful maidens or princesses, including a memorable run-in with the Monkey King, but her imperfect recreations were always discovered and she was soon forced her to return to her true form. While she is able to mimic the appearances and build of nearly any woman, her transformations are never made to last.
However, in the case of one transformation in particular, the image inscribed deep within her heart is pristine and without flaw, such that even the Goddess' Divine Core is recreated faithfully. A reproduction that can even temporarily fool the Eye of God, encroaching infinitely close to Goddess Transformation. Although not forever, and certainly not without cost...
Animal Dialogue (Man)
Rank: A
Communication of intention with animals that do not speak a 'language of words'. In the case of Lancer, this effect is inverted, with millennia of experience allowing her to effectively communicate with humans even in her natural form. At this rank, even nuanced ideas and plans may be communicated indirectly, regardless of what form Lancer is in, with little more than a twitch of her nose or the look in her eyes.
Wisdom of the Moon Rabbit
Rank: A
The medical knowledge of the lunar kingdom. It is said during its long centuries of life that the Jade Rabbit would constantly pound the ingredients for the elixir of life in a mortar and pestle for Chang'e and the other immortals. However, in Chinese folklore, the rabbit instead diligently produces medicine for the mortals in the world below. While successfully recreating a potion of true immortality is beyond her reach as a Servant, Lancer is gifted at concocting medicine for various other purposes, including restoratives, stimulants, and potions of all sorts. If pressed, and at a high enough bond level, she may even be willing to share a little bit of her treasured mochi reserves.
Noble Phantasm:
Yuètù - A Humble Offering for all People and all Times
Rank: C (EX)
Type: Anti-Unit
A crystallization of the sacrifice that permitted Lancer to qualify as a Heroic Spirit, Yuètù is a subtype of Reality Marble deployed within Lancer's body, a heavenly blessing transforming her body into a tool whose sole purpose is to be given up for others. Having offered to surrender her body and flesh in exchange for the life of a god, Lancer's life was recognized as a worthy, equivalent exchange for that of a divine spirit, and this trait remains with her as a Servant, infusing her with a wealth of life energy and vitality far beyond the typical Heroic Spirit.
As a passive effect of this overflowing health, Lancer's wounds regenerate rapidly, at a pace akin to the Curse of Restoration of a True Ancestor, and it is difficult if not impossible to kill her without complete destruction of her spiritual core. Lancer also superficially benefits from resistance to poison and debuffs at a rank equivalent to the rank of this Noble Phantasm.
However, the true value of this Noble Phantasm lies not in regeneration, but preservation. By sacrificing portions of her spiritual body, Lancer may enact a powerful defensive blessing, negating harm to those she seeks to protect in exchange for an equivalent sacrifice of her body as a servant. A finger. An eye. A limb. Organs and muscle, bone and fiber. All may be surrendered for a commensurate blessing of protection. Parts of her body shed in this way may not be regenerated or recovered, even by external forces, but in exchange, she can protect others against nearly any harm, whether physical, spiritual, or mental. This protection may not be offered to herself, but only to others.
Its designated rank of C refers to the ordinary deployment of this Noble Phantasm. Should Lancer offer her entire life for the sake of another, it is impossible for the pure defensive power of this Noble Phantasm to be calculated, and Lancer has confidence that she would be able to protect the object of her affection from even an utterly inescapable end.
I just finished watching YuYuYu and Yuètù just screams Mankai to me.
