Most of what we know about Norse mythology was written down by some Christian guy so it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Norse mythology is pretty Christianized.

He really does have that protagonist feel to him I see. Also, frankly I didn't really invent much. I took inspiration for all 3 of them from my re-reading of the Gotterdammerung chapter and the Norse figure profiles, especially from Sigurd's (eating the heart of dragon idea) profiles. The rest is just me adapting what I can from the scraps of actual myth available and my overflowing hype for Elden Ring release.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to answer!

i agree with that one.
mythology in northern and western europe was mostly reconstructed and told by pious christians. The source Snorri is suspected to have invented a bunch of myths we use nowadays. The myth of belebog and Chernobog is probably a misunderstanding and just reconstructed by using the indo-euro archetype of good vs. evil as a template.
through the advent of christianity one could argue that much of the original corpus of respective mythology was lost to the aeons, but at least some good samaritans recorded myths of the natives. That counts for european and south-american mythology.

I honestly don't really know. If I had to choose, probably Kierkegaard.
well the story elobog and Chernabog could also be a remnant of the Slavic interactions with the Iranian people as they werer at a point neighbours . similar have i read that modern comparison are compare Fenrir to Angra Mainyu .
About that yeah you are right as actually the Greco Roman Mythology is aside the mythologies we know that were writhen down and passed to us over the people that had the same faith ,as the religion to which the mythology belonged . Well until we were able to read the ancient tables of levantine respectively the egyptian hieroglyphs . About the other Euuropean mythologies know we almost only from the viewpoints or outsiders .
Which i pity as , one or two skripts about their mythology or rites writhen from pagan authors withtheir own religious view would be great .
One Question Delrey whebn you could chose to get the knowledge (beyond our actual knowledge i mean)over one mythology which would you chose ?
Your verified Chikara-production Studios !

Class: Avenger
Other Classes: Caster
True Name: Angra Mainyu/Irisveil von Einzbern
Alignment: Chaotic "Good"
Place of Origin: Germany
Height: 158 cm.
Weight: 52 kilo.
Likes: Her husband. Her daughter.
Dislikes: Her husband. Expressionless priests who enjoy unbelievably spicy things and practice Bajiquan.
Natural Enemy: Irisveil, EMIYA, KOTOMINE
Parameters:
STR: E
END: E
AGI: C
MGI: A+
LCK: B
NP: B
Class Skills:
Territory Creation (EX):
Avenger’s duel existence as both the vessel for and the contents of the Grail grants her the power to turn wherever she steps into the “resting place of the Grail”. As such, Servants around her not attuned to the “Grail” gain a decrease in all Parameters while Servants blackened by Pollution, and hence “attuned”, are given an increase in both Parameters and Skills. This also allows Avenger to draw in the wishes of those around her and souls of defeated Servants for the purpose of manifesting as her true form, the Holy Grail.
Magic Resistance (A):
Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a "Magus Killer".
Personal Skills:
Heaven's Feel (C):
A Skill declaring a Servant’s compatibility with the completion of the Heaven’s Feel Ritual. Should it be required, Avenger is capable as acting as the vessel from which the Holy Grail can manifest.
Pollution (EX):
Avenger is a conduit for All the World’s Evil, shown by her connection and ability to generate Black Mud: a curse so strong it has gained physical form. This mud is able to break down anything it touches, including Spiritual Bodies. If she is able to completely immerse a Servant within the mud before their death, they will return as a Blackened Servant loyal to and controlled by her. This also effects those already altered by its properties.
Black Blessing (B):
A Skill that denotes a connection to something both Divine and Demonic in nature. As a being only made possible by the reincarnation of Angra Mainyu being cultivated with the Grail, Avenger has a deep connection to the Grail and its contents.
Connection to the Root (C):
As a vessel for the Grail, and as one who became said vessel in their previous life, Avenger has an unmistakable connection to the Root. Though unable to utilize it herself, as its true form is the granting of other’s wishes through her connection, her master is able to make a “wish” for a minor change to the world. Doing so requires a hefty amount of mana or the use of a command seal.
As more Servants are killed and drawn into the Grail, her capacity for greater wishes is also increased in direct proportion to the number. As such, the mana cost for these greater wishes is also greater.
Noble Phantasm
Song of Grail: Sing Out, O' Black Grail (B)
Anti-Army
While a similar Servant possesses a Noble Phantasm much like her own, Avenger’s can be said to be its polar opposite. Rather than a pure and loving nature sublimated as a Noble Phantasm, Avenger’s is born from Angra Mainyu’s own nature finding a definitive outlet for its evil and hate. Doing so, this Noble Phantasm temporarily grants the wish the Grail has been attempting since its corruption.
It applies a variety of diminishing effects based off All the World’s Evils to anyone within range of the call. A wave of destruction and pain that stuns even the strongest of Servants, this Noble Phantasm’s greatest purpose is not to cause harm, but to weaken Servants long enough for her to use Pollution on them.
Lore
Personality
Relationships
Another Perseus situation, but not nearly as in-depth as that one. Mostly because we don’t need some examination of her character or some in-depth recounting of her story. She wasn’t even really an actual Servant, made just for the Accel Zero singularity to have a final obstacle, but I’m still actually proud of what I did with it.
I’m sure no one has noticed this fact, but my KOTOMINE Servant also has Black Blessing. There’s a greater reason beyond the obvious, but I’m pretty sure no one here actually cares about why.
Do you likejazzshort stories? Do you want something to distract from making Servants? Do you wish the idea of Shirou Kotomine didn't immediately bring edgelords to mind? Well, I can't promise it's good, but some would disagree with me.
Fate/Without Justice
So this is my newest servant. It was actually really fun to make and took a few turns I didn't expect. I'll talk more at the end.

Disappointed that you didn’t make any Metallica references while making this sheet.
NINE-lives:... now I'm disappointed... the least i can do to try to rectify it is one small change.

Give him a line like “exit light… enter night… take my hand…” for when he uses his NP or something like that.
Done. Thank you for the suggestion.

Corrupted Grail: That's cool. That's very cool.
Anju Addams: I did try to get a non-morpheus faceclaim. Unfortunately its either the small child from Guardians movie... or this. At first, I did it because I was vaguely aware of the character and he fit my theme... then I rewrote it and then it just slowly slotted in.

Christmas Voyager:
Appearance:
closest store open 24 hours
Source
True Name: Pytheas of Massalia
Alignment: Neutral Good
Alternate Classes: Rider, Caster, Avenger
Strength- D
Agility- B
Endurance- C+
Mana- B
Luck- B
NP- A+
Personality
Class Skills:
Independent Navigation- B+
The Voyager Class' variation of Independent Action. A Skill granted to those famed for travelling through distant lands, whether to reach a destination or simply savoring the scenery along the way. Donates the Servant a rank-up to Endurance and constant supply of magical energy per turn so long as they continue on their journey. As one of the first in his era who sailed beyond the Hellenic world to document the wonders across the seas Pytheas obtains a high value in this Skill. Ranked up while in icy environments.
Personal Skills:
Voyager Of The Snowstorm- B+
The talent of one who once sailed to the farthest north reaches of the world, repurposed to delivering presents on a snowy night. Allows Voyager to negate any obstructions caused by adverse environmental conditions that would impede his new goal of giving gifts. For one who braved the hellish cold at the world's limits, ordinary snow and storms are welcomed like a cool breeze.
Golden Rule (Gifts)- B
The wondrous treasures that Pytheas brought back from his voyages beyond the known world displayed as a Personal Skill that represents the presents given to deserving children on Christmas night. Allows Voyager to pull "presents" fully formed from the sea itself, bypassing the need for a construction process. These presents can be composed of anything Voyager discovered on his travels such as tin, amber and seashells. The amber in particular has become a sweet syrup that can be hardened to form candy treats. Despite their sweet taste they in fact nourish the body and mind, stimulate growth and don't bring any nasty cavities. However Voyager still needs time and concentration to form more complex gifts. Thus establishment of a workshop might nevertheless be advantageous to expedite production.
Rune Magic (Yule)- C+
The basic runecraft Voyager picked up to defend himself on his travels through Germania. Upon becoming Santa he's integrated elements of the Norse god Odin (master of runes and one component of the Santa Claus archetype) into his Saint Graph, bolstering this Skill. He can imbue runes into his gifts to enhance them (such as reverting amber to sweet tree-sap or animating a toy-soldier to move with true life), simulate a True Name Discernment Skill and use the Kenaz rune to create a flame that guides him while traveling amongst other feats.
Noble Phantasms
So here's an early Christmas entry from me, the Santa Pytheas sheet I was talking about on the other thread. Thanks to DelRey for giving me some ideas on the guy. I also went back and changed his Rider's version FC to one of the same character I liked more. As usual comments and critiques would be welcome. Hope y'all enjoy this kuudere jellyfish Santa.

Mark my words. This is the first one in the coming storm of Christmas sheets.
(And it’s honestly a pretty good start.)
nice, a sheet of ReyGolden
great christmas sheet, pytheas is a great candidate for a santa. I like how you could convert so much into christmas themes, even the runes.
My christmas project is growing with potentially 5 servants on its way. I hope your servant inspires others to make some too
just...a little later when the season actually begins
i wanted to post a pic of the jellyfish from spongebob wearing santa hats, but there are legit christmas lights in jellyfish form
