Does anyone know the skill Dread Visage? I've seen it used for servant sheets and want to know the description, if I could use it.

Royd, who I believe made it, describes it as "The ability to inspire fear in others through one's form and manner."

Yeah. Just been focusing on other things. Lot to respond to in that, so it'll take a chunk of time when I do.
back home, finally time to read stuff here and in the contest
Maricourt: Okay I guess. Idk, cant put my finger on it, but the usual "BenEl-factor" is missing. But I do like NP ideas that stay in that format after her death. interesting story potentials
Dante: interesting to see someone tackle the illusive class of Voyager and even adds other names who qualify. Interesting concept. Perhaps Voyager and Watcher can be seen as a pair of classes. Watcher watches the journey of the Master, while the Voyager is watched by the Master. At least I'd like to see that now. To complete the triangle, perhaps there is a vague class that tells the stories of those who should qualify as heroes, but their deeds were never truly observed and they need to be found again. Something that fits my suggested theme. Idk, I have yet to come up with a solid Class idea myself, but perhaps someone more creative can do that.
Percival: I like how you took the concept of his name and made it his strength with Vitrification. I had to look up this skill, because the name is so weird. I see some imagery of 'becoming glass' and hiding ones presence like Sasaki does, but man, what a weird word to use it for.
Kamapua'a: perfect FC for this sheet, bravo. Poor guy, I hope he never meets BB Summer, their interactions would be interesting tho. And I like Mana Burst (Life), getting hit by him has to be a Golden Experience.
Nottingham: You took Three Houses Music, which makes every sheet a lot better. Currently at the Charisma skill and I think a Charisma rank E- would actually do the job as well, comparing it to the "Charisma" of our Saberface Alters. And I like the use of Demonic Defender for him.
Now i read it all. This sheet right there is pretty great with the "BnEl-factor" in it. The concept behind him is really well thought out, i love it. It reminds me of the Francis Drake version in the Agartha Singularity. I think the idea of 'summoning a Phantom in form of another Servant' is really intriguing to me and I hope to someday find such a connection to explore it myself. The last NP being basically an extension of the Demonic Defender skill and his incompetence as a ruler is a great imagery.
Like your Servant count now. Nice.
Boleyn: Dude, please make a blog post explaining all your class ideas for future references, they are so well thought out. I mean you slapped the "three Judge Classes" in there and I wonder what they are. Ruler, Watcher and...? Aside from the cool sheet design, it is a cool idea you have here and her last NP is a twisted ability for her, damn. That alone couldve qualified in the Horror contest a while ago. Crazy Love is scary af too.
Regarding the Sinner Class, i get what Morg is saying. But for me most Extra Classes are Over-Classes, adding more of a title to them. Tho admittedly it doesnt always work like i think it would. The concept behind sinner class is cool and definitely oriented towards fanmade HGW, but I think I'd like to see them as similar to Tiamats Mud blackening Ushiwaka - Taking a Servant with a clear original Class Container and warping it into the 'Sinner' to serve the designated purpose.
And I see what I say is negligible anyways because I did not read your comment about the story you build. Looking forward to the story you build as the creator of my beloved Sg/LB threat.

I actually considered including a mention of how using that Skill on living targets could result in the target being overloaded with life so their senses lag behind, but figured that'd be too blatant a reference. It definitely was an inspiration though. And thanks for the feedback man!

Happy Late Easter and April Fools. Here Speed runned Servant inspired by my own words and BnEl15's comment. Enjoy.
"In Germany and among the Pennsylvania Germans toy rabbits or hares made of canton flannel stuffed with cotton are given as gifts on Easter morning. The children are told that this Osh’ter has laid the Easter eggs."
- journal American Notes and Queries, 8 June 1889 issue
"Osh'ter? OSH'TER?! Are you serious? That is not how it is supposed to be spelled! Okay I never LAID the eggs, but still!"
"What means the term Easter itself? It is not a Christian name. It bears its Chaldean origin on its very forehead. Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, as pronounced by the people of Ninevah, was evidently identical with that now in common use in this country. This name as found by Layard on the Assyrian monuments, is Ishtar."
- The Two Babylons, 1853

The madlad actually did it, and it's every bit as glorious as I ecpected it to be, if not more. I mean she's a good joke Servant, but her Skills and NP are well thought out, and you clearly spent quite a lot of research on her. All in all, impressive sheet for something you finished in 4 hours.

Servant Saber:
Appearance (tagged for size)
True Name: Ladislaus I
Alignment: Lawful Good
Alternate Classes: Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Ruler
Strength- A
Agility- B
Endurance- A
Mana- C
Luck- B
NP- B++
Personality
Class Skills:
Magic Resistance- A
Confers protection against magical effects. At this rank spells A-rank and lower are nullified. With this level of defense against sorcery the Servant is virtually untouchable to modern Magi, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to term them a "Magus Killer". Saber's boundless faith along with the innately high resistance of his Class Container have combined to furnish him a superb rank in this Skill.
Riding- A
The ability to ride animals and handle vehicles. At this rank all mundane mounts can be handled at a high degree of skill, but not Phantasmal or Divine Beasts. Having anecdotes extolling his prowess on horseback and well-liked by all manner of animals, Saber obtains a great rank.
Personal Skills:
Rejection Of Earthly Crown- C
According to some legends Saber refused to be crowned upon becoming king for he swore allegiance to the crown in heaven above any on earth. That anecdote allows Saber to shut out the Skills of other Servants deriving from worldly authority (such as Charisma, Golden Rule, Imperial Privilege, etc) at rank C or lower. Can be nullified if the holder possesses Divinity (or a similar one like Saint and Protection Of The Faith) at a rank equal or greater to this Skill's own.
Holy Knight Emperor- B
A Skill bestowed to one who lead a country and holy knights while also being revered as a saint in the flesh. Provides a tremendous Charisma, improved attacks against the demonic, improved defenses against Divinity, aptitude for weapons of the holy attribute and others.
Extolled as an incarnation of Hungarian chivalry in his era, Saber set himself apart not only by his prowess as a leader and in battle but also his boundless piety and virtues. As such he obtains this Skill.
Medical Techniques- C+
Measures one's proficiency in the medicinal arts. The effectiveness of this Skill isn't based on how one's techniques compare to modern standards, but by those of the age the Servant lived. When Hungary was ravaged by plague, Saber beseeched God for an answer to relieve his people's plight. God replied and instructed Saber to shoot an arrow randomly in the air. Whatever it landed on would turn out to be a cure for the plague.
As it happened the arrow pierced a sprig of gentian, which was found to have miraculous curative powers. Gentian is still known as "St. Ladislaus' Herb" to this day thanks to that anecdote. Based on this, and his veneration as a patron saint of curing pestilences, Saber has a decent ability to identify herbs with use in healing and utilize them effectively. Would be sublimated into a Noble Phantasm if he were summoned in the Archer Class.
Revelation (Animals)- C
A hybrid of Revelation and Animal Dialogue reflecting one's ability to "hear the voice of the heavens" through animals and take optimal action. Saber was known to have received omens of the future through various animals that guided his actions. Once when wondering where to build a church to the Virgin Mary he was inspired by the sign of a red stag appearing before him. In another account a pure white ermine leaped onto Saber's spear and breast to herald his victory over his rogue cousin Solomon.
In the Grail War animals will occasionally communicate with Saber, whispering him advice and prophecies of the future. While their guidance may be cryptic at best Saber seems to invariably understand what they're trying to tell him. Or perhaps he just enjoys the company.

Eostre: Pretty cute sheet. Never heard of that origin of Easter before. I like the imagery of her stuffing bunny-ears on Hildisvini and forcibly drafting it into a "mascot" role. By the way, any feedback on Ladislaus?
I really like the faceclaim. I hope the FGO servant with the big cross weapon that was teasered will be epic as well.
All the skills are fitting well for the presented Lore and until i read the first NP I was wondering why he would be a Saber. The NP justifies it well and I am a sucker for those "concepts that represent a weapon" like Romulus Arms or Xmas Karnas Fists and stuff. I will do that as well in one of my next sheets.
Still he feels more Ruler to me, despite that. His ability to come back is a cool tool for a HGW where was somehow killed too early and he returns to fulfill his job. I can imagine him having a plus modifier on the True Name Disc skill, because he can let animals spy on them and stuff.
I hope the Archer NP means he can shoot allied with 'an arrow to the knee' to heal them up like the anecdote could suggest.

Legends vary between the cleaving of the mountain being something he did with his sword or just by God, so I split (ha) the difference. He does feel a bit more like a Ruler than a Saber, but I like the part where even though he's theoretically fighting to obtain the Grail his second NP totally defeats that purpose and lets him come back just to help his allies. I feel some of that impact would be lost if he were a Ruler. And yeah, his main NP as Archer would be arrows of Gentian that heal whoever's shot with them, a la Apollo's healing arrows from Greek Mythology (only from a Christian instead of Pagan origin). Limited by the fact that he only has a certain number of them and so they have to be used carefully (vanishing after use). And thanks for the feedback DelRey!
So, I might have missed something, but I've seen a couple of Servants with classes that aren't exactly "normal" classes—Gatekeeper, Leader, Faker, etc. I feel like I've seen a description of one of them before, but I can't remember where I found it, and searching for them on the forum didn't really help. Does anyone know where to find them?
Edit: Actually, come to think of it, is there a place with descriptions for other classes, too? I mean, I know there's the TYPE-MOON Wiki, but I don't really know if there are rules or trends here that aren't reflected in the Wiki's descriptions of them.

For one thing, some of those (like Leader) are fanmade Classes that there's no "official" description for. Gatekeeper is the Class that was originally intended for Gilgamesh but there's canon description on what its qualifications are. Faker is an "imitation" Class created by the main villain of Case Files and used to summon counterparts and body-doubles as Heroic Spirits. Does that help answer your question?
Queen of Iron Thorns
True Name Allignment Class Alternative Classes Iron Apega True Neutral Lover Assassin, Berserker.
Height2.0m Weight110kg Region Greece Source Historical Fact Likes Hugs Dislikes Cleaning up
Parameters STR END AGI MAG LCK NP A A D E D C+
Background There once was a King called Nabis.
A cruel king, he would extort money from those who would refuse to pay taxes with sadistic delight only matched by that of his queen, Apega.
Records say that the two were truly the perfect match for each other and that while Apega would heap humiliation after humiliation upon the women of rebellious families, Nabis would punish the men by tricking them into ‘dealing with his wife’ which was in fact a construct of cold iron and wicked spikes supposedly made on the Queen’s image.
She was beautiful. The most beautiful woman Nabis could envision.
An instrument of violence soaked on the blood of countless victims.
That was the Apega of Nabis.
However, what very few know is that both wife and construct weren’t split beings but a single entity. After all, who would believe that a man like Nabis could love his instrument of torture so intensely that it would create life of its own. That a construct, and a particularly well made one at that, could attain sentience as was the case with Galatea.
Unfortunately, Nabis’ love was as twisted as his hate.
And he dearly loved dear Apega.
How could he not? A statue made with the image of the perfect woman. An instrument of retribution upon his rebellious subjects. The cold machine of suffering was everything Nabis could have wanted. So it shouldn’t have come as a surprise that the statue would eventually gain life of its own.
And that it would express its love in the only way it knew how.
So that fateful night while Nabis slept, the maiden of iron spikes visited him. Overcome with the joy of meeting the one who showered her with so much love and adoration. There must have been a way to repay him for creating her. For giving her life.
And then it occurred to her.
Her favorite thing in the world.
The one thing she was made to excel at by her creator.
Hugging.
So it was with a blissful smile and eyes shining with love that Iron Apega pulled her loved one into a tight embrace. And as her gears shifted and turned, the damsel in love knew her dream had become a reality, for she felt the warmth of his body drain and seep through the cracks of her skin.
Later on, others would claim responsibility for Nabis’ death, claiming that others lied when speaking of the man’s ultimate fate.
That he was found on the arms of his own torture instrument.
A beautiful maiden of iron.
With a radiant smile.
Personality While an instrument of cruel torture, Apega could not act farther away from what is expected.
To her, causing pain to others for the sake of her loved one is a way of demonstrating her affection, akin to presenting physical and irrefutable proof of her love to her creator.
This warped view of what Love is leads Apega to commit more and more atrocities in the name of showing her love.
She is wholly unaware of her twisted nature, finding it strange that others cannot demonstrate love so readily. Pitying them for not having someone show them what true love was and how to express it. Apega otherwise behaves in a queenly manner befitting her position as Nabis’ Wife.
However, in Nabis’ absence, Apega will seek for a new lover to dedicate herself towards. Someone who will love her properly and allow her to love them as she’d been created to do.
With a passionate embrace of cold iron and warm blood.
Class Skills
Lover
A Apega only ever loved one man. And that love was powerful enough to grant her life. A phenomenon not often seen.
Beloved
E- Apega did not inspire love, instead her purpose was to entice Nabis’ victims and instill fear in all others. As an instrument of sadistic torture, Apega only ever received genuine love from its creator, Nabis, which eventually lead to his own death.
Personal Skills
Sadism
C While not a true sadist, Apega is only able to express her affection towards a loved one by hurting others for them. Or failing them hurting her lovers in ways she knows ‘they’d appreciate’. Mechanized Murder
A+ A skill depicting the various instruments of pain installed within Apega by Nabis. They are more akin to oversized torture tools than real weapons, but can be deployed as such when self-defense is needed.
Vampirism
C While not capable of ingesting and absorbing nutrients as a regular human, Apega absorbs iron and mana through the blood of her victims. Using that same blood to repair her body should it be damaged.
Noble Phantasms Iron Apega: Phantom Maiden in Love Anti-Unit C++
Apega’s act of hugging Nabis’ victims.
As well as the origin of what would become the Iron Maiden.
Both crystalized as the act of extending countless spikes from Apega’s body as her arms encircle her target, trapping them into an embrace of solid iron as thousands of sharp blade pierce through the victim’s body like needles. The effectiveness of this Noble Phantasm rises a rank if the target is a male.
And it rises further if Apega feels love for them.
In this way it could be described as the ultimate expression of Apega’s love for her creator, as well as her original function as an instrument of torture given life. A paradox which leads those who Apega loves to die on her arms.
