Wonderful servant. It was a joy to read.

Foreigner of Eternal Winter:
Appearance:
True Name: Frederick V
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Alternate Class: Caster
Strength- D
Agility- E
Endurance- D+
Mana- B
Luck- D
NP- B
Personality
Class Skills:
Existence Beyond The Domain- B
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. As his patron god was said to guard a maze outside of humanity's common sense Foreigner possesses a fair rank in this Skill. Alterations to his body are instead conferred under Foreigner's Winter King Personal Skill.
Divinity- B+
Qualifies one's aptitude as a Divine Spirit. Vessel of Han the Great Old One of freezing cold this status interacts with Foreigner's divine right of kingship to grant a high rank.
Insanity- B-
A Mental Pollution-like skill gained from contacting an evil god that can easily erode the fragile common sense and morals of humans. However, the main qualification for the Foreigner class is to defy this erosion, either by maintaining their integrity as they descend into madness, or instead of being consumed by madness, they consume the madness itself.
Normally Foreigner's sanity is relatively unaffected by becoming the host for an evil god. However the extent of his patron's corrosion of Foreigner's psyche is qualified by his Winter King Personal Skill. The more Foreigner draws on Han's power to bolster his kingship, the further he slips into the Cold God's freezing grasp convincing him that ruling his people and spreading endless winter are the same thing.
Personal Skills:
Winter King- A+
A derisive sobriquet referring to the infamously short-lived nature of Foreigner's reign that only spanned a single winter. Normally this would be a variant of Imperial Privilege allowing Foreigner to grant himself Skills associated with kingship but only for a very brief time. However upon contracting with Han he may access them for a greater duration, in return for steadily corrupting his body into a better vessel for the Cold God. Foreigner's skin becomes deathly cold to the touch, veins of ice show throughout his body and his emotions become colder prone to icy rage. These effects intensify the longer Foreigner uses this Skill and gradually recede when he stops, akin to the passage of Winter.
Gardener- B-
Denotes the Servant's affinity for cultivating plantlife. Having commissioned one of the greatest gardens in the Western World Foreigner possesses this Skill. Allows Foreigner to make plants grow in his presence simply by circulating his magical energy, and even command them to an extent like having branches twine to bridge his passage over a river. However due to the influence of the Cold God whenever Foreigner's mood chills the plants he's growing will immediately freeze and wither, much to his chagrin.
Charisma (Of Absolute Freeze)- D+
A special variant of Charisma circulated amongst those with Tsar blood... at least that's what this Skill would normally be. As Foreigner was not a Tsar in life this should be only an ordinary Charisma Skill, and low-ranked to reflect the unpopularity of his reign. However when the Cold God takes hold of him Foreigner may speak with a chilling charisma that compels others to follow him, freezing their hearts and emotions to quell the possibility of resistance. A Skill that ensures all will love him and despair.
Foreigner himself resents the Skill, rejecting the idea of ruling over merely frozen puppets, and regards it as a challenge to overcome to truly become an ideal king. However if his mood were to worsen further and Foreigner became convinced that the people loving him was an impossibility, he may surrender to the Cold God's influence and embrace it.
Noble Phantasm
So here's the Frederick V profile I'd been working on. "Winter King" is a kind of funny title since it sounds really badass out of context but what it actually means is kind of lame. But historical literally-who's with some cool potential are what Foreigners are for I guess. As usual comments and critiques would be welcome. Thanks for reading y'all!

Royd let me tell you what you did to me. I started reading with the assumption it is still Ithaqua like you said. Then I read the start with the gardening.
I began looking for 15min "garden of yig" because i thought thats what Han guards. But it turns out there is a "Curse of Yig", the garden of yig was mentioned by two other obscure gods and i conflated Han's labyrinth of yig with this garden of yig that is hard to find.
And when I found out, i scrolled down and see you did Han anyway.
In any case, Han was a good choice for a garden guy and i got an idea how to use Yig in a sheet.
My last comment: "Hans, get ze Flammenwerfer."

Sorry I can't stand this mispresentation of my character and will be expecting at least 3 new syncretized Foreigners as compensation. Thanks.

Class: Ruler
Other Classes: N/A
True Name: Catherine of Aragon
Alignment: Lawful Good
Place of Origin: England (16th century)
Parameters:
STR: D
END: B
AGI: C
MGI: C
LCK: D
NP: B
Height: 190cm
Weight: 175lbs
Likes: Kind people
Dislikes: Hatred
Talent: Forgiving Everyone
Natural Enemy: Angra Mainyu
Attribute: Man
Traits: Female, Humanoid, Weak to Enuma Elish
Armament: My Final Letter
Catalyst: Summoning at Queen Catherine's Cross
Class Skills:
True Name Discernment B - During a direct encounter, any servants seen will immediately have their true name and parameters revealed. Servants with a form of concealment force her to have to roll a luck check to prove this.
God's Resolution C - Allows her to bear the equivalent of two command spells towards every servant in the grail war. A Ruler class skill.
Magic Resistance D - She never met or saw magic in life, so has the very bare minimum rank in this provided by her class. This simply weakens spells.
Personal Skills:
Charisma B - She was known as an excellent queen and was able to easily spur on armies, even to the point of helping them defeat king James IV of Scotland while Henry was away. At this rank, she is very easily able to rally and bolster the morale of her allies.
Defender Of The Faith C - This ability includes Protection of the Faith at the same rank and the ability to spread it to all allies who share the same faith. She was granted the title of Defender of the Faith for rebuking Luther's arguments.
Catalyst of Split B - The nature of someone who partially caused a great schizm. The split between the Catholic Church and the Church of England was caused by her. This allows her to divide her enemies, causing them to have far worse communication.
Noble Phantasm(s):
Bloodied Banner
The Reigning Queen
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: C
Range: 200 meters
Max Targets: 200 targets
This is the sublimation of the fragment of the coat of King James IV of Scotland that she sent to Henry VII to use as a banner. It manifests as a pair of bloodied gloves. When invoked, her charisma itself is heightened to spur on her allies to the point of doing nearly impossible things, and hit the enemies with a wave of terror.
My Final Letter
My Eyes Desire You Above All Things
Type: Anti-Unit
Rank: B
Range: 100 meters
Max Targets: 1 target
This noble phantasm bears the property of Absolute Forgiveness and Absolute Compassion, manifesting as a long quill she holds in her right hand. Its true properties manifest when its true name is called. As it lightly taps its target, they become enveloped in a feeling of protection, and just for that short period feel as though they are truly cared about, and feel remorse for any evil actions they have done. It is also useful in another way, as its strikes simply, instead of hurting, wear away people's hatred and anger.
Lore: Catherine of Aragon was a princess of Spain. She married Prince Arthur, but when he died, married his brother, King Henry the Eighth. She didn't give birth to a male heir, but refused to annul her marriage, which lead to the separation of the church of england.
Personality: She is extremely brave, willing to do almost any risky thing as long as it helps people. She is extremely kind and forgiving for all mistakes and sins. She has no wish for the grail.
Relationships:
Angra Mainyu: "You are peculiar. So full of hatred, love can't ever get through."
Marie Antoinette: "A pleasure to meet a fellow queen here. And one so giving, too."
Caligula: "Oh, you poor thing. This may help get through. My Final Letter!"

I really love this one. The superior blacksmith Alter Ego.
though to be honest i still can't get used to your new format. i suggest you use the collapse tag only on the opening class card image, excluding the into text. that way you can actually customize the formatting of the rest of the sheet (bold and italics on everything hurts my eyes).
Ruler of Bad News
Source: Alchemy Stars official art
"Since the God of all grace has arranged for us to meet, then... How do you do? I am Justo Takayama Ukon, but a humble Servant summoned under the Ruler class."
Class: Ruler
True Name: Justo Takayama
Gender: Male
Height and Weight: 183 cm / 73 kg
Source: Historical fact
Region: Japan
Alignment: Lawful Good
Attribute: Man
Parameters
Strength: B
Constitution: B+
Agility: D
Magical Energy: D
Luck: E
Noble Phantasm: C
Class SkillsBiography
True Name Discernment: B
A Skill inherent to the Ruler class where status information such as one's identity, Skills and Parameters are automatically revealed to the owner of this Skill when directly encountering a Servant. At this rank, a Servant's True Name as well as the entirety of their status information are automatically revealed to them during a direct encounter. However, in regard to Servants who possess concealment abilities, a success of a Luck Check becomes a requirement to bypass those abilities.
Divine Judgment: A
The supreme privilege of a Ruler. One can exercise two Command Spells for each Servant participating in a "Holy Grail War". It is not possible to divert other Command Spells that were used on a Servant for another use.
Magic Resistance: EX
Grants protection against magical effects. Justo Takayama demonstrates Magic Resistance equivalent to B rank due to his unwavering piety. However, since this resistance is just allowing him to divert (evade) the magecraft, fundamentally only he will be saved in the case of a wide-range magic attack. It also cannot cope with Church Sacraments, but is stronger against magecraft rooted in the thaumaturgical traditions of Japan in exchange.
Territory Creation: B+
Skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus, such as for the purpose of collecting mana. Usually employed by Justo to create a "Tea Room" for the purposes of holding a tea ceremony; however, the architectural genius that aided in the construction of castles and military installations throughout western-central Honshu does not seem to be missing.
Personal Skills
Saint: C
A Skill that signifies those who are acknowledged as a Saint. When summoned as a Servant, the ability of Saint is selected between either "raising the effectiveness of sacraments" or "automatic HP recovery".
Discernment of the Poor: EX
Insight to see through the opponent's character and attribute. It is impossible to deceive Justo with excuses and deceptions from words. It expresses the power to grasp the true nature not only of the opponent, but of life and the universe in general attained by one who, instead of living in material poverty, has transcended the world's conception of "being rich".
Chanoyu: A++
A sub-species skill of Item Construction. The Japanese term for "the way of tea"; that is, tea preparation techniques raised to a level of mindfulness and refinement not seen in Western culinary culture. Justo possesses the appropriate rank for one counted among the seven finest disciples of Sen no Rikyu, the codifier of the Japanese tea ceremony.
At this rank, the meditative practice of "making tea" has become part of one's way of being, completely nullifying any mental interference while making or consuming tea, or reducing their effectiveness otherwise. As an aside, this also means that tea produced by Justo is guaranteed to be especially delicious.
Noble Phantasms
Mano Dilao - San Grial: Turmeric Arm - Cup of Blessing
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit (Self) Noble Phantasm
Range: 0
Max targets: 1 person
Yellow Hand - Holy Grail: Justo Takayama's life of saintly virtue and heroic martyrdom that have been sublimated into a Noble Phantasm. Having drunk deeply of the Redeemer's grail of suffering, he can thus be considered a man who stands close to the right of God; in other words, God's "right-hand man". This Noble Phantasm allows Justo to freely perform six of the Holy Church's seven Sacraments, whose incantations may be compressed to the equivalent of a Single-Action spell without any decrease in efficacy. Additionally, objects that have touched or been touched by his hands instantaneously become third-class holy relics that also function as minor Noble Phantasms imbued with the "holy" attribute.

Justo: Good sheet but I don't get why he has Magic Resistance twice, and at different ranks.
Right, the Idea behind this is simply of three spirits are minor characters that only job is creating or owning the inciting magic item that cause the tragedy in their larger stories. Like Mpu Gandring was only know for creating the Kris that causes the turmoil of the Singhasari Royal family that bring the Kingdom to Collapse , Mo Yen sacrifice her life into creating a blade for the Emperor of China but the Emperor backstab her husband and have killed leaving his son on a rebellious crusade that has mixed results and lastly Andravi is the original owner of the ring that causes Fafnir to turn into that greedy dragon. Though I should probably elaborate more than the small snippet I gave in the Item Construction Skill.
Ruler of Bad News: The only bad news is how bad to my heart this precious character is. (IGNORES EVERYTHING HE EVER DID, EVER.) I was so curious about these particular characters of yours, and it didn't disappoint! Your sheer disappointment at Amakusa (I agree with the sentiment, in parts) shows and it fuels the ambition behind this sheet, elevating its qualities. It elevates so much that it even gives him two Magic Resistances, name another Servant that could do THAT! (/shot'd)
I love Amakusa but I'm really interested on your rant on him, Random.
Though I think your sheets already reveal much of what you think is wrong with him.
