Man, I didn't actually expect to win. Thanks to everyone who voted and especially everyone who reviewed! I'll do my best to come up with a good prompt for the next contest.

First of all, apologies for disappearing. Life has a way of kicking you in the butt when you’re not expecting. But anyway, I’M SPEECHLESS. Thank you very much for all these amazing entries, I loved each and every single one. ;-;
On that note, congratulations Kamerad and Sutaa for your entries that were recognized as they should and another round of applauses for NMR-3 for winning this month’s contest! Your entry was very fun and deserving of all the votes!
I wish I could give a huge essay on each sheet, but my time is short, so allow me to at least give some words of praise because ya’ll so deserve that.
Reviews
Thanks for waiting until the Tanabata day to review my Tanabata couple.
So uh I am kinda new to the forum can we post Servant sheets as we will or only when the contest is going on?
Or is there a create-a-servant thread?
If you'd like to post Servants you've made generally, check out the Create-a-Servant 3 thread for that. This thread's specifically for a contest we hold every other month, where the previous contest's winner picks a theme and anyone who wants to participate makes a Servant in line with that theme, followed by users voting on which sheets they liked the most. We're currently between months on this, so the next contest will begin in August.
Might I suggest for the august contest it be foreigner theme because August is Lovecraft birth month this year is the day of his birth aka August 20th
Winner of the previous contest gets to decide the new theme. They could take suggestions, I guess, but that kind of defeats the purpose of it being the winner who comes up with the theme. Plus NMR-3 hasn't said anything about lacking inspiration to come up with a prompt on his own.

oh did not know we still did that
enjoy, three weeks etcNon-combat, meaning Servants who have neither skills nor Noble Phantasms that make them better at physical combat. If push comes to shove they can whack people with their fists or other things, but the idea is no weapons, no brawlers, etc. Mental interference is perfectly fine, but physical damage is out. To serve as inspiration, think of dancers, writers, people of religious significance, scientists, masters of tea ceremonies, etc.
Quite a few people who fit the criteria on my backburner. I'll think about it.

"Be grateful, Mage. Servant Avenger, the greatest prophet chosen by God has answered your call. Mhmm... this body is somewhat unfamiliar, but it'll serve my purposes splendidly. Now, to once more rain down curses and retribution upon those filthy heretics...!"
Servant Avenger:
Appearance:
Source
True Name: Balaam "The Wicked Prophet"
Alternate Classes: Caster, Rider, Alter-Ego, Faker, Foreigner
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Strength- D+
Agility- B
Endurance- C
Mana- A
Luck- D
NP- A
Personality
Class Skills:
Avenger- B+
Expresses the nature of an Avenger as one who piles up the grudges and hatreds of others upon themselves. It becomes easier to accumulate hatred and resentment, while negative emotions directed at the user are instantly converted into strength.
According to the Zohar, Avenger's malefic power came from her donkey. Her abuse of the beast generated negative emotions that she harvested to fuel her curses. As such Avenger's version of this Skill allows her to transmute all kinds of negative emotions like anguish, hatred and jealousy into magical energy for herself. Unlike the normal Avenger Skill, her rate of Mana generation is increased while giving damage and not just receiving it, as she can use both her own pain and that of others to empower herself.
Oblivion Correction- B
People are creatures who forget many things, but an Avenger never forgets. That ability to hold on to a grudge even when others forget greatly boosts the damage dealt by critical strikes in battle. Avenger will never forget her hatred of the Jewish people for the humiliation she suffered at their hands.
Self-Replenishment (Mana)- C+
The ability to refill one's own supply of magical energy (Mana). A small amount of magical energy endlessly gushes forth for every turn until one's revenge is accomplished. This Skill is bolstered through Avenger's high ability to draw negative emotions from her surroundings and convert them into excess magical power.
Personal Skills:
Temptation- B
An alteration of Incitement that specifically denotes one's aptitude for tempting others into committing evil acts. Having even enticed God's chosen people to sin, Avenger wields this Skill at a high rank. Every one of her words is soaked deeply in temptation, promising pleasure and delight beyond compare if only the target becomes hers. Whether through prolonged conversation or a mere sultry whisper in their ear, Avenger excels at breaking down people's fragile morals and reducing them to corrupted thralls bent to her will.
In its purest form this is a mental interference carried by Avenger's words, that has the effect of eroding morals and inhibitions. As such it can be resisted by a strong enough will as well as Skills and Noble Phantasms garnering mental protection at rank B or higher. Religious-based Skills like Saint will also defend against it.
Revelation- A-
The ability to "hear the voice of the heavens" and take optimum action. A Skill equivalent to Instinct; a sixth sense regarding battles, but Revelation accommodates all matters related to the achievement of a goal, such as choosing the swiftest path while travelling.
A wicked prophet, but not a false one. Avenger truly did hear the voice of God, albeit her ability to interpret that voice was warped by her own egotistic personality. As a Skill this allows Avenger to receive periodic visions from God that pertain to the immediate to near future. Theoretically a powerful Skill, were Avenger of the right mind to use it. But her own obsessions distort the content of her visions, leaving her mostly unable to glean their accuracy. Really, it can be said that "she only hears what she wants to".
As such, while listed as A-rank on her stat sheet, this Skill is fundamentally unstable and equivalent to D-rank most of the time.
Golden Rule (Wealth, Body & Depravity)- B
A composite Skill that indicates one's ability to gather wealth, possession of a natural and perfect goddess-like body immune to tarnish and a "degenerate" aura of corruption.
While Avenger was recorded as a male in life, she manifests as a Servant in the form of an unnaturally beautiful woman with devil horns. This is the result of how Avenger has been conflated with the Moabite women (s)he enticed the Israelites to fornicate with, becoming an "avatar of temptation". The horns draw from her association with Baal-Peor, a Caananite god she tried convincing the Israelites to worship, whose often equalized with the cardinal demon Belphegor. That same connection also grants Avenger a great ability to attract riches, as Belphegor was rumored to bestow wealth upon those who summoned him.
Protection Of The Faith- C
A Skill held by those who sacrificed themselves for a religious view. Despite the name it isn't the blessing of a higher existence, but merely the absolution of body and soul that is born from faith. However at higher ranks, it may create abnormalities in the personality.
Avenger's version of this Skill reflects how she- while reviled as a fraud and wicked man by all three world-religions- truly believes herself to be a faithful prophet of God. In her mind, all the humiliations and setbacks put before her- and even her own death- were merely "trials" by God to test her faith. Avenger convinced herself that she alone is the chosen prophet of God, while the Jewish people are merely vile pretenders profaning His grace.
Noble Phantasm
So I saved up a couple of recent sheets in case they'd fit the contest prompt. Since this is the one that fit the best I polished it up and posted it here. Balaam can theoretically fight, but her main strategy is seducing other people to sin so she can take advantage of them, which is pretty noncombatant. She can't even control the targets that get selected by her NP, it just automatically goes after "evil" people (and it's up to her own wits to make sure the one she wants dead fits that label). Might be a bit of a stretch, but I think it works. Oh well, I guess the voters will get to decide come crunch-time.
I've wanted to write a Balaam sheet for quite a while, toying with various ideas of the best way to pull it off. I considered making him a Rider with his divine-sensing donkey, or even a Faker who impersonates Moses based on his status as the latter's "gentile counterpart". Finally I found out a fun justification to genderbend him, and the rest of the sheet more-or-less followed from there. I'm quite proud of this sheet as a whole, especially my unusual take on his personality, so I'm curious what y'all think. As usual comments and critiques would be welcome, but I'm expecting those to wait until this contest wraps up.
