Is this even the right thread for this? But A Rank for Str and End
I... don't think this is the thread for requests like this. Like, I think this might fit better in the Faceclaim thread, and even then, that's a pretty big "might"Originally Posted by NittyGritty

Thanks for letting me know. Still new here.
“Being summoned as Berserker? Hmhm, wonderful, I appreciate one who’s not afraid to risk danger in pursuit of artistic greatness.”
True Name: Marchesa Luisa Casati
Aliases: The Divine Marquise, Marchesa Stampa di Soncino, Luisa Adele Rosa Maria Amman, The Ruined Marchioness
Alt. Classes: Caster, Rider, Assassin, Faker
Source: History
Region: Italy
Catalyst: Feathers scrounged from garbage
Armament: Exotic animals, mainly snakes and cheetahs. Also, toxic gold paint
<<Alt. Faceclaim>>
Character: “Why should I even need to tell anyone my identity? My whole life I strove to cultivate infamy, so if one doesn’t know who I am, frankly that’s on them.”
Said to have become Italy’s wealthiest woman upon her parents’ early deaths, the Marchesa Luisa Casati’s main contribution to society was being a fervent art, music, and fashion patroness. However, that is not the whole reason, or even the main reason, for her infamy.
She was best known for her bizarre habits, such as casually walking around with dangerous animals from her extensive and exotic collection, wearing electrified dresses, commissioning a nigh identical wax double of herself who she treated like her own twin, being an open occult practitioner, accidentally killing her servants when the gold paint she used on them turned toxic, and insisting her life’s work was to become ‘living art’.
Unfortunately, for all her connections throughout the art world (including the Surrealists), not all reflected on her positively. She was a source of inspiration to both Gabriele D’Annunzio and F.T. Marienetti, two creators who would go on to become heavily associated with fascism. Given how poorly her affair with D’Annunzio concluded, and how she fled Italy for England long before World War II, any potential ties she had with the ultranationalist movement at least crashed and burned.
Her leaving for England was due to how much her eccentric and lavish lifestyle caused her to go massively into debt, owing twenty-five million dollars. She lived the rest of her life there in poverty before dying of a stroke, her animals being taxidermized to preserve them. However, to her dying day she always strove towards her goal of being a living work of art, even scrummaging in rubbish for accessories.
Restored to her prime as a Servant, she is eager to pick up where she left off, unused as she is to being on the front lines. Though she does have desires for the Grail, she’s hardly the most committed to the Grail War, being much happier indulging in luxury (especially what with the modern world can now provide) than doing any dirty work. You may think she’d leave everything to her animals or homunculus duplicate then, but you’d be wrong, as true to her Class she can get quite incensed whenever anyone harms them.
Attribute: Earth
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Likes: Being thought of as art, wild fashions, exotic pets whom she calls ‘her children’, bisexuality
Dislikes: Poverty, unstylishness, anything insufficiently dark or macabre, misspelled tombstones
Relationships
- Cathy Morland: “Hah, you are but a child in the ways of the gothic. Allow a more seasoned mistress of the macabre fill you in.”
- Estella: “I pity you, truly I do. As much wealth and beauty as I, yet you do nought but wallow around in your own misery. Your mother at least has style, I’ll give her that.”
- John Bauer: “You had me interested with ‘art’, but children’s fairytale art? Hmm, though on closer inspection, perhaps you do have an eye for darkness after all.”
- Elagabalus: “Your artistic and animalistic tastes are on the right track, but they lack the refinement of maturity… for obvious reasons. Also, ugh, the Sun is simply too light and bright for dark artists such as I.”
- Cesare: “Hmph, I’d accuse you of stealing my look, but at least you have the foresight to know that red is not your colour.”
- Goya: “Ah, now that’s the kind of artist I had in mind! Now tell me, what was your inspiration behind the Black Paintings?”
- Ozma: “A picture that shows you anywhere? I desire the reverse, to be seen and admired from everywhere!”
- Kuzunoha: “Oh, but couldn’t a kitsune possibly spare one of their tails? You already have so many, and golden white is simply a divine colour… pun not intended.”
- Cacareco: “To imagine any of my children running for government. Though like Brazil, it’s not like Italy’s politicians are of much note.”
- Arachne: “My, such a remarkable arachnid, I suppose this is where they all get it from. The human part of your physique isn’t half bad either.”
Master: Having been a relatively modern mage at least gives Berserker an immediate point of connection with the average Master. Preferably not anyone too frugal, or without a sense of passion.
Natural Enemy: Gabriel-Sidonie Colette, Gabriele D’Annunzio (so it ended up). Despite being a magus, she also has nothing but disdain for the Clock Tower
Wish: Immortality, but not as it’s usually thought of. Like the Mona Lisa, Sistine Chapel, or ancient Greek urn, she wishes for her mage to be burned in everyone’s minds for centuries, millennia even, to come.

[Homunculus Double's Stats]
Class Skills
Mad Enhancement
Increased power in exchange for loss of sanity.
- Rank D (A): While communication with Berserker is possible, her shamelessness, lack of any self-preservation as seen with her handling of dangerous animals, and belief in herself as a sentient work of art means she’s certainly unhinged. Strength and Endurance are Ranked Up by one. Her mannequin body-double on the other hand, being already an empty vessel, is able to receive the full effects of Mad Enhancement with little downside, undergoing consciousness equalisation but with Berserker instead of their Master.
“We’re so willing to deem ‘mad’ what we can’t comprehend, innovation, individuality, artistry, anything that breaks our sorry mold.”
Personal Skills
Animal Control (Exotic)
Command over certain kinds of animal, in this case types of animals deemed ‘exotic’.
- Rank B: Berserker was known for wearing snakes as necklaces (including reportedly boa constrictors), walking cheetahs around like dogs, and had personal zoos that also included lions, monkeys, and gorillas. However, doesn’t seem to have access to any Phantasmal Beasts, not that those wouldn’t be on her list to acquire. She does have some fondness for ‘normal’ animals too, like greyhounds.
“Don’t act like I’m some tacky exotic trader! I assure you; I love each of my children dearly. I’m just required to discipline them sometimes, as with any mother.”
Appreciation as Art
Ability to attract infatuation as an artwork.
- Rank C: Berserker’s life goal was to act and be admired as a ‘living work of art’, achieved in ways of styling herself like a black and white photograph, dying her hair bright red and applying layers of fake eyelashes, even scrounging for lace and feathers as she declined into poverty. Grants a Plus to her Noble Phantasm Rank, as well as her Endurance Rank due to her beliefs about being immortalised through art.
“I can live, talk, and interact, so I’m automatically better than any one portrait. Not that I won’t take any portrait made of me, of course.”
Galvanism
Conversion of electricity and other energy attacks into mana.
- Rank D: She once wore a lightbulb-fitted dress that crackled with electricity… so much that she fainted from the shock. While energy directed at her can be converted into mana, there’s a risk it’ll backfire on her. At least she now has Mad Enhancement to improve her Endurance.
“*sigh* The sacrifices I make for art.”
Golden Rule (Wealth & Body)
Possession of great fortune and physique.
- Rank B-: Upon her parents’ death, Berserker become possibly the wealthiest women in Italy, and didn’t hesitate to flaunt her wealth in some of the strangest ways. That said, she died in poverty, hence the Rank Down. As for her appearance, she’s… certainly striking, to say the least, and has an intense knowledge of fashion.
“I wasn’t just Italy’s wealthiest, but its most beautiful. Those who’d insist otherwise simply have no eye for aesthetics.”
Magecraft
Proficiency in modern magic.
- Rank C: Berserker’s main magical interests were the occult, necromancy, jewelcraft, and the homunculi side of alchemy. While she retains this Skill in the Berserker class, her use of it has become much more volatile, powered up but with less finesse.
“I’ve always treated magic as an art form, I loathe the technical side of it.”
Noble Phantasm
D’Arte Vivente
Twin Mannequin
Rank: C+
Type: Familiar
“Stunning, isn’t she? A real work of art, just like yours truly.”
Through her sheer wealth and as part of her dedication to becoming a ‘living work of art’, Berserker had a life-sized wax mannequin of herself which, using what she knew about the occult and sympathetic magic, she was able to turn into a homunculus through in part the addition of her own body parts, such as hair. She even sat with her homunculus double when having dinner, dressing it identically to her.
Other than acting as a body double and decoy for her, one that has all the same Stats and Skills, the main advantage of this homunculus is how it can receive the full effects of Mad Enhancement, without any downside such as the decrease of its social skills. As Caster, Item Creation could be used to make as many copies of this mannequin as mana reserves permit, but it would lack the massive stat boost Mad Enhancement provides.
Being designed to resemble Berserker exactly, and its mind having been synchronised to Berserker’s through Rank-A Mad Enhancement, Berserker also gains the ability to move her own Saint Graph into this mannequin and back. This mannequin could potentially qualify as a Servant on its own, if only as a Faker. Not that Berserker likes referring to her double as simply a ‘mannequin’, as presumably from Mad Enhancement, she is sometimes incapable of telling it from another person, calling it ‘the only woman, no, only person, who’s ever understood me’.

I missed the milestone.
—————————————
Class: Shielder
True Name: Jalal ad-Din
Alternate Classes: Avenger
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Place of Origin: Central Asia, Khwarezm Empire
Attribute: Man
Armament: Sword, Round shield
Parameters:
STR: C
END: A
AGI: B
MGI: D
LCK: B
Class Skills:
Magic Resistance: C
Protection against magical effects. Cancels spells with a chant below two verses. Shielder, living in an age mostly devoid of magic, has almost no natural resistance to it. Only obtaining C rank through his servant container
Riding: C
Most vehicles and animals can be ridden with high skill. Does not apply to Phantasmal Beasts. Spending most of his life mounted on a horse granted Shielder a high rank in this skill.
Territory Defense: A
An ability used to protect allies and allied territory. Regarded as an unofficial leader of the Islamic world, he was the only person standing between them and the invading hordes. Single handedly halting the Mongol expansion to the Middle-East through sheer talent and the following reputation earned due to it.
Personal Skills:
The Living Rostam: B
A lifetime of struggle, a “valor of thousand valors”, and a death by the hands of schemers. All this made the life of Jalal reminiscent of that of a legendary hero Rostam. In the form of a skill, he gains the same attributes that Rostam possessed in life. Similar to the effects of Valor skill, Shielder is immune to mental interference and acquires a bonus to his melee damage. Whenever Shielder stands at the brink of death, he throws a LCK check. If the throw is succesful, most of his wounds will be instantly healed. If not, then not.
Hundreds of years later after the lifetime of Jalal, Persians started associating Jalal after the hero Rostam. Paintings of which depict Jalal as him, and in opposite, depict Rostam instead of Jalal.
Disengage: A
An ability to reset the combat conditions or to swiftly withdraw from battle. Returns skill to its starting value and cancels negative attributes.
In life Jalal successfully escaped from enemy grasp many times. Once fighting against Genghis Khan, missing victory by a hair's breadth, he realized that defeat is inevitable. Refusing to fall into mongol hands, he threw himself from a thirty meter tall cliff into the river ,and swam through it with his weapons equipped. He alone escaped while his army, including his wife and children, were slaughtered by mongols. “A father must be fortunate to have such a son” - is a quote that was attributed to Ghengis khan after witnessing such a daring escape.
Downfallen Shah Privilege: EX (A~E---)
Imperial Privilege skill that can grant power not possessed in life for a short period. Usually a very useful skill to have, it becomes a huge detriment to Shielder in time. He can attain a wide range of skills to overcome the current situation, however, after his victory the acquired skill starts to cause opposite effects. A use of Charisma later guarantees hatred directed at him, Battle Continuation - a frail body, Mind’s Eye (Fake) - terrible eyesight, and etc.
Jalal was the last ruler of the Khwarezm Empire. Assuming the title of Shah at the age of 19, when most of the country has already been overrun by Mongol hordes, with the exception of his southern holdings. Gathering the remaining horses of Khwarezm, he repelled the Mongols for a time. Though Jalal’s military achievements were impressive, he was a terribly poor governor and diplomat. Alienating his soldiers and neighbors, which ultimately led to his downfall.
Noble Phantasm:
I Stood Where Others RunKonye-UrgenchType: Barrier
Rank: A
Range: 1-1000
Maximum Number of Targets: 1, 1-100
Urgench, a city where Shielder became a Shah and started his campaign against invaders that lasted until his death. Attaining victory after victory, he brutally halted the expansion of Mongols. So much so that Ghengis Khan himself refused to proceed further into the Middle-East until Jalal ad-Din was dead. In a sense, Jalal was a shield against Mongols. A living barrier that opposed the all destroying calamity.
This Noble Phantasm is a sublimation of his life of resistance. Shielder can proclaim a person or an object his enemy, and similarly proclaim several people or objects as things he wishes to protect. The target opponent of Konye-Urgench deals 50% a reduced damage to Shielder and cannot be killed by their hands. Additionally Shielder gets a + to all his parameters when fighting them. Whenever a designated adversary attacks a chosen ally directly or indirectly, the attack transfers to Shielder instead. This Noble Phantasm lasts until the death of either target. As a downside, Shielder is weaker to attacks of everyone else while Konye-Urgench is active.

Skills
Charisma (A Rank): Charisma, the power to rule nations. Robber Baron, in secret, was able to run America and manipulate the government to his will. This skill acts akin to Moriarty’s in that it specializes in ruling an illegitimate and evil empire.
Capitalist Privilege (A Rank): A skill similar to Imperial Privilege representing Robber Baron’s control over the common man and his unethical use of their labor. It allows him to use the skills and take the wealth of anyone who works for him or is thought of as “His”.
Innovation (A Rank): A skill representing servants who brought about a revolution in their era. His centers around the creation of new types of technology and the spread of Industrialism.
Golden RUle (A Rank): He's rich as fuck
Territory Creation (B Rank): He can create factories and workshops specializing in manufacturing wherever he is.
Item Creation (A Rank): He can create anything that is possible to manufacture.
Noble Phantasm
Name: Into the World the Barons Creep, CAPITALISM
Type: Anti-World
Rank: EX
Range: ???
Maximum Targets: 1-???
An anti world noble phantasm representing Robber Baron’s dream. It acts like a reality marble with one difference: it grows, and builds on top of the world, similar to Nero’s phantasm. It starts out small, maybe turning a few buildings into factories, but the more mana he feeds into this phantasm the bigger it will grow and the more of the world he will own. Should this phantasm spread far enough, he could become a “Beast of Humanity”
Backstory
Robber Baron is the embodiment of the myth of the “Robber Baron”, the illegitimate business man who exercises control over the common man.
Personality
Robber Baron is simultaneously a bright-eyed innovator and a greedy sadist. The best way to explain it is this: he enjoyed bright eyed greed and sadistic innovation all towards the goal of improving himself.
Any advice on this?

Currently planning a Grail War fanfiction, so I figure I'd slowly post the Servants that are locked in. Introducing one of my favorites:
ASSASSIN

So ... here comes my first Servant sheet I guess. The concept of "a whole group of persons condensed in one Saint Graph" is something I took from a friend (who did it with), but I figured it would work there too. Also, sorry for the genderbend, it's one of the cases where the faceclaim is what inspires to make a Servant out of it in the first place. Anyway, let's get into itNamelessBlack Knights

I was going to say that the idea didn't work simply because you didn't convince me there's any reason for this amalgamation to become a Servant by themselves, but the second NP is such a creative take on their historic role that it more than justifies it just by being included.
I'll say her personality is still quite lacking and the relationships don't do much to help it. You either needed to codify their attitude through history into a personality or chose someone to be the face of the spirits and base the personality on them imo
To be fair I simply stumbled upon the design and loved it so much I made a sheet based on it
Yeah writing personalities has always been my weakness, I tried to improve a bit but it's probably not enough

What do you guys think of Voland and Robber Baron?

They're some early attempts at servants
Do u think I should add to their personality somehow or something?

Do u think their phantasms r cool?
If I may be so bold, I would recommend you finish them before posting them. There'll be more to comment on that way.

What should I add?
I finished them. I'm just not good at making servants, so they might not be that good sheets
Oh, okay. I think I just misunderstood what you meant by "early concept".
