I suggest that you take your meds.
quick question:
when you read the servant sheets here
do you do it on mobile or desktop?

When you wake a Dragon in his Lair...
Lambda-nu account seems pretty dead to be honest. Dude hasn’t posted anything since September. I wonder what happened to them. Maybe we should get someone more active to replace them.
(I also wonder what happened to cursed by fortuna because he hasn’t posted anything in 4 days.)

OP is fine. People don't always have the time to hang out online every day.
Lambda doesnt post that often, but I see him online often
and Fortuna is usually not someone that posts regularly. He has days where he answers a bunch and then he goes back to his life

I’m just wondering if the index will be updated when we hit 300 pages. Especially given lambda-nu seemingly refusing to update the servant index.

Calm down. 300 pages will probably be another month or 2, and it'll get done when it gets done.
Besides, pretty sure that Delrey is still keeping track, so we won't miss that much, if at all, when it eventually gets posted.
"You have called upon the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh! Now kneel before me, mongrel! That is the way he talks, right...?"
Servant Archer:
Appearance:
True Name: Gilgamesh?
Alignment: Chaotic Good?
Strength- B
Agility- C
Endurance- C
Mana- B
Luck- A
NP- EX
Personality
Class Skills:
Independent Action- A
The ability to remain in existence without a supply of magical energy from one's Master. At this rank Archer can linger in the World for up to a full week in the absence of an active contract. "I journeyed to the underworld and back to retrieve my friend Enkidu, of course I have this rank! Erm, you want to know the details of that journey? ...Pfah! As if I'd bother satiating the paltry curiosity of mongrels like you!"
Magic Resistance- E
Confers protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects magical energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. At this rank, it doesn't negate magic at all but only reduces the damage a little. "Man, to think his resistance is almost as lame as mine, that makes this easier for me... huh, I didn't say anything!"
Personal Skills:
Charisma- A+
A composite Skill consisting of one's natural charm as well as the ability to command armies in battle. Boosts the ability of allies in group battles. At this rank, it goes beyond charisma to reach the level of a spell (curse) in itself. "People really will believe anything as long as it comes from the mouth of a 'king', huh? Sure is convenient..."
Divinity- B
Qualifies one's aptitude as a Divine Spirit. Having been two thirds god in legend Archer would have one of the highest ranks among demigods. However his dislike of the gods for killing his best friend Enkidu has lowered the rank. "Personally I wouldn't turn down gifts offered to me, but proud people make weird decisions I guess. Oh, didn't see you there Master! You know I was just musing to myself, right...?"
Golden Rule- A
Measures one's fortune in acquiring wealth. At this rank, one can easily live the life of a millionaire without having to worry about money at all. Fitting for one who boasted of owning all the world's treasures in his lifetime. "Yep, I may be rolling in dough but a little more never hurts, right? So, why don't you invest in this marketing strategy so we can both make it big? I promise this isn't an opportunity I'd be giving just anyone!"
Noble Phantasms
So I know I said I probably wouldn't be writing any more Servants lately but what I can say, I lied. Which fits this guy's theme incidentally. In any case here's my contribution to the Pretender craze overtaking this forum. Much thanks to Fortuna for suggesting the idea of giving him a reality-warping NP. As usual comments and critiques would be welcome. Thanks for reading y'all!

And another Pretender enters the fray. I do like this one, though his masquerade as "Gilgamesh" does feel pretty obvious. Kind of iffy on him being Grand Pretender, though. I know you tried to justify it with the NP, and he might be one of, if not the oldest recorded scammer in human history, but beyond the NP, I don't really see anything that warrants him being a Grand (ignoring whether a Grand Pretender can exist in canon or not to begin with). Not to mention I expected a higher rank of Anti-Human Order for a Grand (though I guess that's excusable, since I'm also clueless on how to rank the Skill myself).
Edit: If I got the implications right, I do like him lying about being a Grand. Not the best at interpreting subtleties sometimes, sorry.
As a standard Pretender, though, I love everything about this guy. That "sophist" NP is really cool in particular, and I like his morally gray scammer character.

Thread theme:
Great servant Royd. At first I was sorta iffy on a grand pretender but after reading the NP yeah. love this guy. seriously is really great.
Rookie Lorekeeper, Amateur Extraordinaire, and all around nasunoob.
Yeah, he's just faking the Grand Pretender title for the lulz (a big reason why he does anything, really). His Gilgamesh act was also meant to be obvious since no one would really think I'd be posting an exact likeness of a canon Servant for some reason, and besides I imagine Ea-nasir himself wasn't putting his most effort into it but more just mocking the idea anyone could actually believe him to be Gilgamesh in the first place...
And thanks for the feedback BnEl. Given his personality I could see him being either an anti-hero who gets a redemption arc or goofy minor villain who becomes the tragic main antagonist at the end...
Tragic main antagonists, my favorite kind of main antagonists. That, and the very morally gray ones that you just can't help but root for to some extent.

Servant Saber Alter:
Appearance:
True Name: Sir Marrok
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Source: British Legend, Paris Singularity
Strength- B
Agility- B+
Endurance- B
Mana- C
Luck- C-
NP- B
Personality
Class Skills:
Magic Resistance- C-
Confers protection against magical effects. At this rank spells with a chant below two verses are cancelled. Cannot cope against the likes of High Thaumaturgy or Greater Rituals. Saber has no anecdotes of resisting magic in life and in some versions of the story his lycanthropy was originally a curse from his unfaithful wife who dabbled in sorcery. As such Saber receives a specific vulnerability to spells that transfigure the shape.
Riding- E-
The ability to ride animals and handle vehicles. As a knight he would've been expected to have familiarity with riding mounts but it's been dropped abysmally through his Distortion Skill. Saber doesn't mind however. Having known the shame of being treated as a mere pet and beast of burden he vows to never inflict it on another.
Oblivion Correction- C+
The nature of one who holds forever onto a grudge even as others forget. This single-minded determination to cling to one's past grudges greatly boosts the damage dealt by critical strikes in battle. The shame of being betrayed and having to live as a mere pet in the king's palace, along with the hatred "his kin" felt when they were mercilessly massacred by humans. His human self may've forgotten those feelings--- but the Wolf-Knight shall continue to bare his fangs and rage.
Personal Skills:
Knight Tactics (Beast)- B
A battle methodology in which one grasps the flow of combat and induces the opponent to make a mistake, even without being a match for him/her in strength. A Skill not for self-strengthening, but to invite a check failure for the opponent. Consists of composed observation powers to wager on a momentary chance of victory. In Saber's case he supplements this Skill with his lupine instincts, creating a unique fighting-style that combines the disciplined training of a knight with a wild beast's ruthless savagery.
Fallen Demon- C+
A Skill given to mystical beasts and fallen ones- specifically, those of a man-made demonic nature, unattainable through natural means. It improves defense power, resistance against abnormal status, and so forth, though the ability falls slightly short of Natural Demon. A once-proud knight cursed into the form of a werewolf by his unfaithful wife's treachery, Saber possesses this Skill. It's been further bolstered by taking on the collective memory of all Phantasmal Beasts slaughtered by humans.
Distortion- C
A Skill that forces the distortion of the Class the Servant was originally called forth in. He or she would receive the other Class' specialty as proof. Conversely, at least one among the set of the original Class Skills has declined. Having been dyed in the muck of the cursed Grail and exposed to the pain and fear of every beast hunted to extinction by humans, Saber obtains the Oblivion Correction Skill of the Avenger Class. In return, Riding has been lowered to E- rank.
Wolf-Knight- EX
Saber's gestalt existence sublimated into a Personal Skill and strengthened by the favor he received from the Wolf-King Courtaud in the Paris Singularity. Knights protect humankind, but Saber rejects that duty to become a "knight of beasts" who bares his fangs against the Human Order. This Skill grants all of Saber's attacks an Anti-Human attribute, raising the damage dealt by his claws, fangs and sword against opponents and structures conceptualized as "human(-made)".
He also exerts a unique Charisma that makes possible to call on and command wolves as his loyal followers, akin to a retinue of devoted knights. Saber can even instruct the wolves to obey knightly tactics, drilling into them a surprising degree of discipline and formation that belies their savagery. This replaces his Riding Skill as Saber refuses the notion of riding animals anymore to instead fight by their side as brothers. However since Saber has no anecdotes of taming wild beasts in life this is just a borrowed authority from Courtaud and can be revoked if he ever turns against his "lord".
Noble Phantasms
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So here's an Alter version of my old Sir Marrok sheet. I wasn't quite satisfied with my original version of him and wanted to try writing a more interesting take. He's intended to be an antagonist in a Singularity idea Lambda and I came up with where Courtaud somehow gets a Grail in WWII creating a new No Man's Land where both Allies and Axis are prey to the wolves. He'd be a Servant summoned by Courtaud and corrupted into one of his followers. Might write up that Singularity sometime in the designated thread as I can see a few of my Servants fitting in it. As usual comments and critiques would be welcome. Thanks for reading!

Marok Alter : Great sheet Royd as i read it i thought immediately nice my Fenris has finally a friend in chaldea ! Really good servant profile one question would he think get along with my Lancer Fenris ? And could he fitt into the singularity? I mean as Avenger could fitt he into ?
Aside that would you think that my Kesagake would fit in the singularity as fellow animalic hero ? Perhaps could we try to make it a sort of enemies of mankind singularity ?
