I'm busy, okay? I'll do it in a bit.
By the way, Bn, maybe you'll be able to do something with Joseph Conrad or Dylan Thomas. Had them on my list forever, but I'm fairly certain I'm never gonna do anything with them.
Bayajidda: A wraith, I suppose. Kinda wish there was... I suppose just more about him. A simple legend, but one with room to expand on to give him a little more flair. Not bad, but I think Maugis was better just by the fact of being more unique and feeling a little more explored than him.
Hmm, I'm not usually too confident in writing more modern Servants (Kafka and Baird notwithstanding), but these two are interesting. Maybe I could fuse them with phantoms or something. Thanks for the inspiration, though.

Mm, yeah, I didn't write notes because I was a bit under the weather when I finished his sheet, but I'm definitely less satisfied with Bayajidda than I was with Maugis.
The wraithness wasn't really intentional, but it's something that might want to be played up in a future version of the sheet? I'm not too sure.
I think the fact that I didn't take one version of the story as the main one to base him on (f.e. didn't base him more on the most popular one, which has him be a prince from Baghdad), and then incorporate as much of the other versions as possible as a secondary objective, contributed to me making the Lore section read more nebulous and to limit my choices too much in picking his Skills and NP.
I really wanted to do something with his supposed connection to the historical 'Man on the Donkey' Abu Yazid but I wasn't sure how to spin it and ended up dropping it completely, which probably wasn't the best choice. They couldn't have been the same person but it's said that Bayajidda might've been a folk personification of the part of his followers who fled to the future Hausa states after his death. The reason I didn't go through with this was that I couldn't figure out a satisfying way to do this. It didn't seem fitting to just slap 'True Identity' on a spoiler tag and nestle another Servant into the sheet because that's not quite what's going on. I suppose the concept of the Alter Ego class is vaguely close, but there doesn't really seem to be a unified way to represent being an Alter Ego mechanically other than having the Alter Ego class anyway, so I was a bit hesitant there and couldn't really figure out what to do in the end.
Lastly I suppose I could've taken the supposed connection to Cain some saw (i.e. it boils down to both having important meetings with metalworkers and important encounters at a well) and played it up by extending it to aspects other than those, though that might not be the best idea and seems hard to do without already having made a Cain servant.
So yeah, overall, I could definitely see myself making an updated version of the sheet in the future if I find a way to implement some of this stuff I ended up leaving out to make it more interesting.

I actually did start writing ideas for a Mad Jack, servant, to be honest it's almost a fully fledged sheet. But I haven't really taken the time to finish it since I find what I did a bit "meh". It isn't bad but honestly, I could have done better. Still, I'll finish what I started since it's an ok sheet, might be interesting to post it.

Class: Monster
True Name: Krampus
Alt. Class: Berserker, Assassin
Alignment: True Neutral
Origin: Historical Fact
Armament: Wicker Basket
Region: Europe
Parameters:
Strength: A
Endurance: B
Agility: C
Mana: A
Luck: B
Class Skills:
Monstrous Strength A
A Skill that temporarily grants a rank-up to one's Strength parameter for a time limit determined by the ranking of this Skill. It is borne from the holder's nature as a monster or Demonic Beast. Monster is a pretty monstrous being, her nature as a demon supporting it, so her rank is high.
Dread Visage D-B+
The ability to inspire fear in others through one's form and manner. Her rank fluctuates depending on the form she takes with Shapeshifting (Progressive) but the ability to scare is the most undeniable quality of it no matter the rank.
Personal Skills:
Shape-Shifting (Progressive) A
A skill that refers to borrowing bodies and appearance change. This variation encapsulates taking on appearances and mannerism that fit the time period one is in. Monster has gone through many different portrayals among the various regions of the world to the point that they can easily shift between a harmless and threatening form without trouble.
Wicker Mystic Code B+
A skill that combines the items associated with Krampus into one single ability. It is the wicker basket that is normally carried by Monster on their travels. It can manifest lengthy stalks of birch wood that can be mentally commanded to bind and attack foes. Once separate items, Monster had them fused into a singular mystic code for their use. It is made more effective upon activation of Krampusnacht.
Divinity D
A skill for measuring one's divine aptitude. Krampus is, at times, made out to be a child of Hel, the Norse goddess of the underworld, and was believed to previously be the Horned God worshipped by Wiccans. However, due to their current class, the rank has dropped very significantly. Monster has made no comment on this and tries to not acknowledge it as a skill.

Aguirre: I feel like giving him Photon Ray as an NP just because of his title as "Scourge of God" when their legends otherwise have no connection is a huge stretch. That title isn't even unique to the two of them, Genghis Khan had it as well and I can't see him having that NP too. His third NP is interesting, but I don't quite get the logic of how it equates to a gravity-increase. Also, does Scourge Of God do anything specific or it just a flavor Skill?
To be honest I have no idea how her NP would work animation wise, I didn't really think about that. The first thing that come to mind is something like Medusa's mystic eyes? But it's a bit boring, so I guess a mist would actually look way cooler. For the effects, it is true that it's a bit overpowered, but well every petrification power are overpowered. I think it wouldn't work on servant with a C~D rank mana, the same way as Medusa's mystic eyes work.
As for what she thinks of your desert fairy, I think she would be a little bit a intrigued. After all she petrified many people in her lifetime, but she never asked herself how those petrified people felt being turned into statues for years. Arbre du Tenere is a bit similar, so she would likely talk a bit with her, just to know how she felt all those years. But still, she's not a human but a fairy so Ursula won't take her experience as representative of what a human would experience being petrified.
Much more historical then my gold clad version. Tying him to Attila was an interesting choice. Making his declaration of being "King of Terra Firma" and applying it to the older meaning of the term in order to give him gravity powers was quite clever. Not sure about the EX Madness Enhancement or the Independent Action in personal skills. 8/10, would get lost in the jungle with again.

Jack Churchill: Wow, I'm not that familiar with the real guy's history but based on your take he's way crazier than I expected even given the epithet "Mad Jack". He sounds like he'd rival the Major's "I love war" speech from Hellsing. He is a bit OP, though I suppose that's inevitable from making him a Heroic Spirit at all.
Mad Jack In Combat! is kind of a weird Skill though for being both generic (just a combo of two existing Skills) and also absurdly specific to him. Even Thirst For War is a bit of a stretch (especially at that rank) since I'm pretty sure there's some mythical or historical figures who loved fighting as much as this guy, but I'm willing to buy that given how important it is in his characterization. "Embodies his achievements in the numerous battles where he fought" though just seems vague enough that pretty much any martial hero would have something like that. If you still want him to have another original Skill I'd make something like 'Audacious Charisma' where he can inspire his allies in proportion to how audaciously he acts on the battlefield and his victories, which sort of fits the "inspires his troops with strange charisma" aspect you were aiming for.

Background
The Fool represents all beginnings.
The road leading to all goals.
A being which exemplifies the simplicity of an individual who is just starting to walk the paths of life while learning more about themselves and the world which surrounds them. An entity that while blank, burns with a yearning to evolve and become more than it was before.
The Arcana represent a journey.
The culmination of life as a trip which begins with the Fool, Arcana 0, and culminates into the perfect being who has experienced all the world has to offer. A power which only the Fool is capable of achieving amidst the hundreds of famed heroes. Only a Fool would be willing to try doing so!
Normally an Alter Ego, this Arcana is unfettered from its connection to other heroes which utilise its power. Such as Marie Anne Lenormand, and Lady Frieda Harris.
Manifested in its purest form, now the Arcana is free to pursue its own journey!
Love.
Hate.
Glory.
Defeat.
He will experience them all. He will welcome all the pains and pleasures of life as only a Fool can!
Personality A man of relentless ambition in pursuit of his goal. For Arcana 0, his newfound lease in life couldn’t be anything but the greatest gift for one such as him, who represents life yet never experienced it himself.
With his good mood and curiosity, even the harshest pains of life do nothing but fill him with gratitude at the thought that he is finally able to live. And indeed, will treat his enemies as ‘traveling companions’, by turns helping them and by others hindering them in order to make his own journey the most exciting possible.
Arcana 0, the Fool, is foolishly trusting.
Foolishly brave.
Foolishly upbeat.
One could say he is the essence of a hero’s determination to walk a difficult path. Which he now does with a smile on his face and a song on his heart. Changing and evolving as he experiences life and those experiences become his strength.
The only thing capable of ruining his good mood is interference.
He dislikes the idea of third parties interfering with his journey and the journey of others around him. To the point that he will confront these entities as a Wild Card and completely derail their plots.
Simple solutions to complicated problems bore him.
And he wishes to see the struggle of truly human beings so as to learn from them.
Modified Class - Joker Heroic Spirit of Trickery and Mischief.
In actuality not a real class, the Joker was created as a result of tampering with the Holy Grail by a master in particular who desired to summon a servant with the strengths of all classes combined. A feat which lead to the summoning of an irregular servant who named himself ‘The Joker’.
In practice a particularly unique Alter Ego, the Joker Class does not exist outside the medium of the modified grail. If a servant were to be summoned using the modified grail, they would become a Joker Servant, and be able to freely switch between their available Class containers.
Class Skills
Shuffle
A+ Joker’s signature Skill. Allowing for the switching of class containers partway through summoning. The more possible class the servant can manifest into, the higher the rank of its skill, which determines the cooldown period between class changes.
Personal Skills
The Fool
A Joker’s unique skill in his Arcana 0 state. A form denoting the beginning of a journey. As ‘The Fool’, Arcana is able to remain manifested indefinitely and can move a vast distance away from the Grail which summoned him
Powerless Shell
C+ The ability to hide one’s true nature as a heroic spirit, Arcana won’t be able to hide his presence from other servants, but he will register as an average human
Cartomancy
E The ability to foretell the future of someone else. It isn’t a form of clairvoyance. It is a form of card divination Joker can use to provide a brief overview of the future.
Noble Phantasms Major Arcana: The Road Traveled by All Anti-Self A
The Fool’s Journey as represented in the Major Arcana is one of constant change, where The Fool learns and experiences the world. And as they experience it, evolve to fit their new circumstances. So as Arcana 0 continues to travel the world and evolve, he will soon become Arcana I - The Magician. With each subsequent incarnation strengthening Joker as it becomes more aware of its existence and gains knowledge and wisdom.
It is theorized that if Arcana is allowed to become The World, a truly great catastrophe might befall humanity as a ‘Perfect Being’ of Earth lays judgement upon them.
Relationships
EMIYA “Ah, a fellow Fool. Oh come on now, don’t make that face. We both know the path you chose was hard so you should take pride in being such a colossal Fool. I certainly admire you for it!”
Merlin “The Magician. Why good evening, sir! I’d very much like to have a chat with you about that love life of yours. What I want to know, you ask? How to avoid Towers sounds like a good start.
Ozymandias “The Emperor… my apologies… The Sun! As one whose origins are tied to the same land as your own I cannot help but be curious of your life. And how you dealt with so much misfortune.”
Artemis and Orion “Well if it ain’t the Lovers. I’ve heard there was a brand new class for those types. Any chance of you guys showing me what being in love is all about. Ma’am! Please stop choking him!”
The Moon “To think I’d be able to see the boogeyman himself. Please don’t manifest without permission again. Even if you hold the title, that doesn’t mean you get to skip everyone else’s turn.”

The Fool: Now that's an unusual idea for a Servant. Getting some strong Persona vibes here, especially the Skill letting him swap Classes (a la the Wild Card users being able to contract with Personas of all different Arcanas). His personality is cheerful but a little scary in how he seemingly has no compunctions on how far he'll be willing to go for the sake of his "journey" or care for the ramifications to the world. I take it his NP gives him new/stronger abilities for each Arcana he assumes? Curious if you thought of any examples on what some of them could do.
