I am gonna have to *gag* stand with Del on this point. Creating a sheet about author of Communism, and just by pure association with all the atrocities, already feels insulting to my people. I personally don't have any problems with it but some might have.

Where was the servant template again? I lost it after I lost my account.
Guys, how many US presidents have been turned into servants on this forum? How many of the 46, including Biden, Trump and Obama
You probably can count them yourself by looking into the America sections of the opening post.

Class Skills:
Independent Action C: A child of Dragonkind who is constantly supplied with Mana.
Magic Resistance A: A high rank granted to one with so supernatural an origin. Most modern Magecraft will have no effect.
Personal Skills:
Daughter of Dragons B: She was born from the saliva of a pair of dragons from the Jia dynasty. This grants her some minor draconic skills, such as the ability to manifest scales over her skin that are very tough and akin to armor, as well as the ability to float in the air, and a weak Fire dragon breath.
Spirit Transference B: After the box was opened, the saliva transformed into a lizard who found a homonculus, and eight years later that homonculus became Bao Si. This enables her to transform into a tiny lizard. This also enables her to "transfer her spirit" if there is a pre-existing Spiritual Core, although her stats fall to that core's stats.
Ruinous Beauty A: A "ruinous beauty" who caused the downfall of a kingdom unwittingly. As the downfall of the dynasty she lived in unwittingly came from her, although she was not the direct cause of any of it, she gains this skill which creates an aura of "ruin" and "downfall" around her.
Noble Phantasm(s):
Xinhao Chaofeng
Urge To Make Her Laugh
Type: Anti-Unit
Rank: C
Range: 100 meters
Max Targets: 100 targets
The sublimation of her beauty charming the king so much that he was willing to cause the ire of all the nobles in order to try to bring a smile to her face. When the true name is activated, she utilizes the signal beacons to create her face in the air. Anyone who sees it will be immediately captivated.
Pian Wo Liangci
The King Who Cried Wolf
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: B
Range: 100 meters
Max Targets: 100 targets
The sublimation of the signal beacons that were used, and how they lead to the downfall of the dynasty. Passively, they float all around her, being used as her primary weapons to "shoot" beams of light at enemies. When the true name is called, they surround her and bombard enemies, being enhanced against those who are entranced by her and leaving them open to destruction.
Lore: Bao Si was supposedly created when a pair of dragons entered the palace of the king, and their saliva was left inside a wooden box. The saliva formed into a lizard which transfered into a homonculus and became Bao Si. She became a favorite of the king, but the king grew upset that she rarely smiled, so he decided to do something to make her smile, and decided to utilize the warning beacons to let her laugh at the nobles. It didn't work, so he tried it again, and again, and eventually the kingdom was attacked and the nobles didn't come, thus it fell, and Bao Si died not long after.
Personality: A constantly grieving person. She hates being regarded as beautiful, for it was that that caused the king's obsession. She longs to finally find a true love, someone who fully cares about her. But she thinks of that as merely a pipe dream and never going to happen. Her wish is to finally find her true love.

This also exerts a "sadness" effect on those she chooses.
Lore: Hwang Jini (1506-1560), also known by her nickname of Myeongwol, was a Korean Gisaeng noted for her extremely beautiful poems to the point where they are known as the most beautiful Sijo to have ever been written. She was also noted for her extremely complex riddles.
Personality: A cheerful person. She loves books and studying, in life even choosing to become a Gisaeng to gain more opportunities to learn.

I know the thought is stereotypical, but I do truly doubt an Asian woman from that time period would be anywhere close to 180 cm. That's 6 ft tall!
Everyone, please remember, if you are going to include height and weight for your servants, please remember to do research and be reasonable. A character like Medusa is only 172 cm, and she's usually thought of as a taller female servant, a 16th century Asian woman should not be 10 cm taller than her, especially when they aren't known for being tall. Keep in mind who your servant is and where they're from when you're doing their height.
Okay, was a little worried about posting this next Servant due to mild spoilers for my current Fate/ fic Starless Black (hence the 'Star-Cell' references), but again only mild, like the 'Assassin' class kinda already makes him suspicious:
Assassin of ButleryTrue Name: ‘Jeeves’
(by no. Source is Image 26 of 27)
“Servant Assassin, sir. Normally I’d offer you this morning’s paper, but it doesn’t appear to be covering the Grail War.”
Alias: Reginald ‘Reggie’ Jeeves, the Butler archetype, The Butler Who Did It
Alt. Classes: Possibly Archer
Source: Fiction, Popular Imagination
Region: Usually thought of as British
Catalyst: Early 20th century literature, with romance novels seeming to have an extra pull. N/A in the Star-Cell’s case, with it summoning him directly as an administrative Servant
Armament: Cutlery, particularly knives, hot tea
<<Alt. Faceclaim>>
Character: “Please, sir, you need not waste time worrying over my own identity. We have more pressing matters afoot.”
At first anyone would assume that Servant Jeeves is in fact Reginald Jeeves, the archetypal, overqualified valet often mislabelled a butler depicted in the stories of P.G. Wodehouse. That is… only half true.
More correctly, Assassin is the idea that spawned from both Wodehouse’s writings and other butler characters of literature of the time: he is the archetypal perception of ‘the butler’ in fiction. This includes both the more positive traits of a butler, such as etiquette, efficiency, and sophistication, but also more negative traits that have sprung up, such as deviousness, plotting, and even murderous potential, given the butler becoming the to-go answer for the killer in a Whodunnit (often regardless of how many times this really has happened in fiction).
Ever professional, polite, and fastidious, good at giving the impression he knows everything and has seen everything, though he if asked would deny this. The only concerns Jeeves has are the concerns his Master has, as people imagine the ideal butler. He still at least appears to have some interests of his own, mainly reading and the arts. Anything ulterior beyond that he excels in keeping firmly to himself, though it’s easy to imagine him internally being long fed up with his Master’s antics.
Attribute: Human
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Likes: Being of service, reading, cricket, orderliness
Dislikes: Boasting of himself, temporal paradoxes, idiocy, messes both literal and figurative
Relationships
- Zaroff: “We should see to arranging for supplies to be shipped to the island, in a way that doesn’t involve stranding all the boats.”
- Christina: “I’ve already arranged the sorting and alphabetisation of your extensive library. Huh, you say you liked it how it was? Of course, a common refrain.”
- Estella: “I had been told that the Satis Estate was a ‘fixer-upper’ as they say, and they surely weren’t jesting. Hmm, you say you want your mother ‘taken care of’?”
- Alfonso X: “Today’s astrology readings, sir. Nothing I would consult myself, but whatever pleases you.”
- Jafar: “No, I have no fears of execution at my Masters’ hand, I imagine some would even struggle to lift the axe.”

- Vlad Tepes: “We shall have the cobwebs swiftly removed from your head, sir. Removing it from the lance may prove more of an issue.”
Master: Ideally, anyone, being almost the Platonic form of the butler. In the Star-Cell Grail War, he’s summoned as a non-combatant by the Grail directly to administer the numerous maids and valets of the Aquarius Manor Hotel.
Natural Enemy: He’d say up front whoever his own Master’s enemy is, if anyone. However, there’s cause for concern that his own true enemy may in fact be his own Master.
Wish: Part of the reason why the Star-cell summoned him directly might be that he doesn’t have a desire for the Grail, his ‘wish’ is merely to continue being of service.

Class Skills
Presence Concealment
The ability to mask one's presence and remain undetected.
- Rank C: More than capable of making himself inconspicuous and unnoticeable, vanishing whenever his services aren’t required and not overshadowing his Master. Assassin can become difficult to detect until he acts.
Territory Infringement
Ability to bypass Bounded Fields and other security measures.
- Rank C: Normally a Watcher-class skill, Assassin gains this ability due to his nature as a butler, the butler. Given his job, it is automatically assumed he has the authority to go wherever in the household he wants.
Personal Skills
All Kinds of Talents
Displaying of talent in multiple fields.
- Rank C: The archetypal butler, Wodehouse’s original Jeeves especially, is often pictured as having a great number of talents even beyond those related to butlery. Assassin possesses an extensive knowledge of etiquette, psychology, literature, mixology, sports seen as more refined such as cricket, combat, and in this Class’s case, even more criminal activities like infiltration and poisoning.
Attendant of Iron (Curse)
The reinforcement of a Master’s physical attributes through proximity alone. However, at this point it has been twisted into a curse where said master’s physical attributes decrease whenever the Servant is not in their proximity.
- Rank B: Assassin was famously known for serving masters much less competent than he was, be they good-natured twits or self-serving old men begging to be done in. At this Rank, it is not only his Master’s physical attributes that will decrease without him, but anyone he has made significant contact with and been of service to.
Calm and Collected
The suppression of emotion to calmly observe one’s surroundings.
- Rank C: As the ideal butler, any emotions he may have he keeps strictly to himself, keeping his own influence limited (at least at first glance) mainly to advice and the administration of other attendants. Though sometimes described as having had military service, he more adept with personal situations ass opposed to say facing down a whole army.
End of the Spider Thread
An evil genius’ ability to scheme.
- Rank B: While the original Jeeves was well-intentioned most of the time, he was more than able to scheme up dubious means to ends. The true nature of this Skill though lies in the broader butler archetype, being stereotypically said to be behind multiple country house murder mysteries due to being in the perfect position to be so. Efficient as he is, this is still a smaller-scale use of this Skill than the more ambitious Moriarty.
Noble Phantasm
The Butler Did It
The Whodunnit Paradox
Rank: E-A
Type: Anti-Unit
One of the most notorious tropes of the murder mystery genre, though its notoriety now springs from wondering whether it was even much of a trope to begin with. It has it that the butler, as both someone granted the access to go anywhere in the house and an otherwise inconspicuous person, became so obviously the easy answer for the killer in a murder mystery that it became omnipresent in mysteries… except it never was, with only a few books existing back then where the butler actually was the killer.
More paradoxically, the ‘Butler did it’ trope was even criticised by the likes of S.S. Van Dine before its first documented use, The Door by Mary Roberts Rinehart. With Jeeves being the archetypal manifestation of a butler in fiction, it is natural he too would become swept up in possibly the job’s most infamous trope.
This Phantasm is usually embodied in the form of a poison, the common murder weapon in these stories given stabbing can be too blunt, though the ingenious Assassin can certainly use other implements to enact this Phantasm. However, with the trope itself existing in a state of temporal uncertainty, so too does the poison upon entering the victim exist in a state of quantum uncertainty, the victim being simultaneously ‘poisoned’ and ‘not poisoned’.
Which state becomes locked in depends like most quantum uncertainties on observation, in this case people’s observation of Assassin. The less Assassin is observed by others, the faster and stronger the poison becomes, while the more he is observed, the less potent it becomes. This both parallels people’s difficulty in finding old mystery books where the butler actually did do it, and the general murder mystery assumption that a character with more screentime may be too obvious to be the killer.
This isn’t helped by the rest of Assassin’s skills being perfect for obscuring himself, and him of course politely denying this Noble Phantasm could even be a thing. Discover it and bring it up too him, and he’ll calmly tell you that you must be imagining things before going about his business.

Bumped her height down to 167cm
I don't think the historical Jini had the ability to force people to solve riddles on pain of being drained of energy, ID musical Noble Phantasms on sight, invoke the magical power to make people feel emotions, or heal people with saddened moonlight either.
Genuinely what is the problem. Servants are fantastical from the outset. Being tall isn't even slightly weird. They're fundamentally not normal, so why should their height be limited by historical averages or perception of height from modern people?
And that's without bringing in the ill energy of "she's too tall for an asian woman from x century".
I guess the question is "why are you writing heights/weights at all" for the Servant then. Yeah she could be 99 meters tall and made of Antimatter but if you're even bothering to include such random biographical information it's presumably meant to be somewhat realistic to what they would've had in life. Servants' abilities are extrapolations of their life and humanity's perception of them; there's no particular reason to think her height would change based on that. Unless there's something in particular you're trying to express by making her unusually tall, I don't see why you'd do so. Though obviously it's not that big a deal and really, I'm more surprised anyone bothers to read and comment on that part of Servant sheets anyway...

Yeah, in a world where Thomas Edison can be a lion man powered by the spirits of the Presidents of the United States and Iskandar can be a Bara giant of a man when he's historically known as androgynous, I don't see why an asian lady being tall would be the tipping point.

That would certainly be the case if the person was inhumanly tall. Someone being 99 meters tall would certainly be cause for notation and justification, quadruply so if they were made of antimatter!
But that's not nearly what we're talking about. 180cm is easily within human limits. Is it abnormally tall? For Korea, yes, it is abnormally tall. For modern Korean women, it's somewhere on the order of ~0.2%, assuming a normal distribution. But also in modern Korea, that equates to over 50,000 women. Do these women simply cease existing because they're a few standard deviations away from average? Of course not.
Let's look at some canonical Servants for comparison's sake. Blackbeard is 210cm tall. Based on UK averages of today, he's 0.0000000464% of the population. With the same reference point for population, he's 0.0312 people. He's statistically more likely to not exist even in modern Britain, let alone the Britain in which he was born. Oh, but I suppose he's British, they don't count because Camelot is a silly place, we shouldn't go there. Let's get a bit geographically closer. Kintoki is 190cm, plugging in the numbers, etc. so forth, and dear me! He represents about 0.42% of the Japanese male population! Now we're getting close to that 0.2% mark aren't we? Oh, but I do suppose he's a demigod, that's simply unfair! How about EMIYA? He's a nondivine, modern human, so it seems reasonable to me! Plug the numbers in for his 187cm height and he comes out to 0.8%.
Now be honest with me: did you ever stop and go "Oh, he's that tall? That's incredibly unrealistic, keep where you're writing in mind, authors!"? I'm beyond reasonably confident that you didn't. You didn't stop to think about how Blackbeard's inhumanly tall, or how even someone like EMIYA is very unusual in height. Disbelief was happily suspended for them.
Oh, but let's go even further! After all, they're all men, aren't they? Maybe it's just a male thing. Just boys being boys. How about we try a few female Servants on for size too. Quetzalcoatl is a rather tall woman, 181cm. Plug it in, that's 0.0091% of the Mexican population. ˇAy dios mio! That's even less likely than 180cm in Korea! Oh, but I suppose she a human infested with god bacteria. That's not a fair comparison! Maybe Zenobia, she's completely human, so surely she's a decent comparison? Well, she's 0.41% of the population of the closest modern equivalent to her region of birth, Syria (which is where Palmyra is). Twice as likely as Jini, but in the same ballpark. Is she tall? Yes! Is she inhumanly tall? Certainly not! Does she need any justification or note about her height? Of course not. Humans, shock horror, can just be born tall.
Oh and for reference, all of these probabilities are for "Height x or greater", just to be clear. Height is a continuous dataset and it's much more effective to find these numbers than to find an interval around them, especially with numbers like this (below 5%) desu yo~
Fair. As I said, I don't actually read or remember most Servants' height details (except that Medusa is unusually tall and that's only because it's a character-trait she has a complex about it) so I was just assuming what Spiff said was accurate. If many other Servants have heights unusual for their regions then she does stand out a lot less as in need of justification, yeah.

Assassin of Manga
A good story only ends when there are no listeners, no viewers, no readers... oh, I didn't introduce myself. Servant Assassin. It's time to continue my story
Class: Assasin
True Name: Kentaro Miura
Alignment: True Neutral
Place of Origin: Japan
Armament: his manga
STRENGE — C
ENDURANCE — C
AGILITY — C
MANA — B
LUCK — C
NP — EX
Class skills:
Conceal Presence
This skill was replaced by Spying
Personal skills:
Spying(EX)
That skill doesn't conceal Assassin’s presence, but rather makes one's presence fail to register as hostile. This Skill causes others to misunderstand one's status, including mistaking one for a kind neighbor, a harmless pebble, or as the most beloved person.
I've never really been hiding, Master. Why do I have this skill? Well, I'll try to explain. When a person reads a manga, his attention is drawn to the characters and events in that same manga. The identity of the author himself remains hidden to them. He seems to exist... but for an enthusiastic reader, his personality is of secondary importance, all attention is paid to the images invented by the author. That's why I can be an Assassin. I exist, but my persona is secondary to the enemy.
Eye for Art(B+)
If Assassin happens to see a Noble Phantasm that possess artistic anecdotes, there is a high chance that he or she might be able to figure out Servant true name. Assassin was a medievalist, his passion for the Middle Ages was reflected in his work.
It's amazing... sometimes what you choose will determine the rest of your life. I don't regret what I chose
Camouflage(B)
Skill that allows a Servant to disguise their Class and parameters. This skill is inherent to the Faker class, but Assassin possesses it due to his Noble Phantasm. Identifying Assassin's true nature is not easy, but this skill will be sealed if the enemy recognizes his True Name.
It's time to take my favorite seat - the director's and screenwriter's chair
Noble Phantasm:
Beruseruku
Tale of two falcons
B
Assassin's magnum opus, the work that made him famous all over the world. It is a manga with blank last pages. This manga is Assassin's main weapon with a very interesting, but slightly predictable property.
The essence of NP is that Assassin is able to bring the image he invented from the manga to life. Objects, characters, creatures, even locations and some events - Assassin is able to pull it all into reality. Items will have the same properties that they have in the world of Berserker - behelits will turn people into apostles, magical staves will work, and so on. Similarly, the characters - they will act in accordance with their personalities.
All summoned items and creatures have one rule - they cannot harm the Assassin. The items will be destroyed and the characters will die and return to the manga. An assassin cannot throw an opponent into his manga.
The characters summoned by him become a kind of pseudo-servants, thanks to which the Assassin can hide. These pseudo-servants enter into a kind of contract with the Assassin, to whom they are completely and completely obedient. They have their own skills and even noble phantasms, however they require mana support, otherwise the Assassin will not be able to support them
Description:
Likes: Write manga, Films of Tim Burton, Tales of the Brothers Grimm, works of Mauritz Escher, coffee
Dislikes: Genocide, cruelty
Assassin’s True name is Kentaro Miura, the Japanese Mangaka, whose most famous work is the Seinen Manga Berserker. He died at 2021 from Aortic Aneurysm.
Miura is a curious person. He has minor emotional problems, but is a kind person. Kentaro is aware that he is in a world based on anime and manga and will certainly try to rely on this genre when making decisions. He is interested in the world of magic, the life of magicians, the history of magical creatures, and so on, for this reason he can sit for hours in his Master's library, if given the opportunity.
He is aware of how dangerous his creations are and tries to keep his NP to a minimum. Miura can joke at times about the fact that he should have written a less dark story, but in principle he is happy with his creation.
Relations:
Osamu Tezuka — Tezuka-sensei? I... it's... it's a very great honor for me. You gave me a calling, gave me the meaning of life... sorry... I think I'm worried
Gilgamesh -- I have a strange desire to add it to my manga... though he'd rather not know in what form
Servants with very large swords - it seems that I'm not the only aesthete of wide blades
Notes:
I will upload a picture tomorrow
