One of these days I'm going to make a Longinus sheet that is based on the "no-name centurion" who only checked to make certain Jesus was dead on the cross.
And about his boastful talking lance. Excalibur-face.jpg
Screw it, who cares if the Hassan of Serenity already does the same thing, I wanted to do a Vish Kanya sheet. Here's a complete version of her:
Class: Assassin
Master:
True Name: Vish Kanya
Sex: Female
Height/Weight: 163cm/53kg
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Appearance: This’ll do.
Stats
Skills
Noble Phantasm
I honestly didn't put much effort into the NPs (especially the second one} but who cares.

My own idea for the Grand Servants was Hou Yi (god of archery who later became a human) as Archer, Adam (original human with dominion over all the beasts of the earth) as Rider, Odin as Lancer (probably wouldn't work since he's a god, but whatever), Berserker I have no idea, Saber could probably still be Arturia and Assassin would be the Grim Reaper/Thanatos (conceptual embodiment of death).

Funnily enough, I actually did once try and come up with a Saber Jesus based on the "I come not to bring peace but a sword" verse, though I couldn't think of how to make it interesting enough. Best I could come up with for the sword is that it would work kinda' like a broader version of Ciel's Seventh Holy Scripture, denying the existence of any entity going against Church teachings (vampires, witches, Pagan gods, et cetera).
Class: Lancer
True Name: Athena
Also known as: Athena Pallas, Athena Parthenos, Athena Gorgonophonos and Athena Tritogeneia to name a few
Sex: Female
Alignment: True Neutral
Face Claim
Personality
Traits
Strength: B
Endurance: A
Agility: A
Mana: C
Luck: C-
Noble Phantasm: A
Class Skills
Magic Resistance: A
Grants protection against magical effects.
By herself, she has a natural resistance to magic rank of A, which makes her immune to most forms of sorcery. With the Aegis, however it pushes the rank up beyond measure, which not only makes her invincible against magic but also make her capable of dispelling magically summoned familiars and barriers on contact.
Personal Skills
Expert of Many Specializations: A++
The access to and use of many expert skills.
Throughout the ages, Lancer’s role as a goddess has evolved with march of time; endowing her multiple skills in military tactics and strategy, martial arts, rhetoric, presence concealment, magecraft to name a few. Lancer never stops trying to learn new things and has knack of acquiring and mastering new skills quickly.
Olympian: B
A skill that expresses being god/goddess of Olympus. A composite Skill that comprises the Skill Divinity and Charisma, preserves the absoluteness of the mind and the body, repels mental interference and prevents the body from changes and growth.
Lancer is the Goddess of wisdom, reason, intelligent activity, literature, handicrafts and science, defense and strategic warfare, and one of the 12 great Olympians.
Divine Insight: A+
The ability of having a heightened capacity for observation and to "feel" for most favorable developments for oneself.
Whether in battle or rhetoric, Lancer’s greatest weapon is her mind, being able to get things done through cunning and manipulation as she is able to read people and situations and quickly adapt to unforeseen events. Lancer has such a refined insight from long years dealing with gods and mortals that some say she has the power to foresee the future.
Dignity of the Rearguards: B
A skill that displays more power the more disadvantageous the situation (such as defensive battles and military withdrawals) is.
Few can rival Lancer when it comes to defense, a position in battle where she is at her most dangerous.
Protection from Arrows: B
An increased defense against ranged attacks by predicting the projectiles' trajectories through exceptional means, such as hearing the sound of air being cut, or sensing the killing intent of the enemy.
Lancer can track down enemy projectiles with her eyes and a bit with her ears and defend against them. Does not apply for attacks made from super-long-range or with a great area-of-effect.
Noble Phantasms
Gorgoneion: Shield of Demise: B
A large hoplon shield bearing an image of the severed head of a gorgon. Aside from its obvious defensive use, this Noble Phantasm can also be used in offense as it possesses the gorgon ability, Mystic Eyes, which petrifies anyone who looks at the eyes. This Noble Phantasm is derived from the severed head of Medusa, who was killed by the Greek hero Perseus.
Aegis: Divine Protection of the Gods: C ~ A+
An extremely powerful spiritual armor, originally a breastplate made of goat hide. Activation of this Noble Phantasm materializes a flame-like aura that surrounds it user, which has the protective strength of a fortress as well as counter-magic properties. This armor was once the property of Zeus, God of the Olympians, who gave it to his favorite daughter, Athena.
Dios: Wrath of the Heavens: A+
A long white spear of mana converted into energy which releases accumulated power on contact after the spear is hurled in a great explosion. Dios actively seeks out the most direct route to its target. This Noble Phantasm honors Zeus, the chief god of Olympus from Greek mythology, who hurls lightning bolts to those who offend the gods.

This is based on an old sheet of mine I made years back. I'm love to hear suggestions on how to spice it up a bit and balance it because I feel I can do more out of it. I'm planning to do a fic with this Athena replacing Cu Chulainn as Lancer going through a UBW/HF hybrid route. I feel it might be interesting to do since there are 3 servants with connections with her mythologically.

Athena as Heroic Spirit huh? The sheet is pretty well-done, though I'm not too sure how you'd have her appear in an actual Grail War, what with being a god and all. Could always have her sacrifice divinity in exchange for answering the call, I guess (the route I took for my Divine Spirit sheets).
Interesting you decided to go with the Aegis and gorgon shield as separate entities, rather then one and the same. Though it is true, the exact nature of the Aegis can vary wildly between legends, from a shield to an armor to even a magical cloth. Spear NP is also pretty cool.
I tried to do an Athena sheet once too, though I couldn't think of how to pull her off and ended up sticking whatever ideas of her I did like into Kekrops instead.

If you did have her as a Servant, I think a fascinating route to take regarding her motives would be her best friend/sparring partner Pallas. Whom she killed accidentally. Athena was so affected by her friend's death that she apparently (in one version of the myth, at least) gave herself the moniker "Pallas Athena" so Pallas would always be remembered.
Wanting to bring back her friend could easily explain why she's willing to accept the call of the Grail, as well as 'humanizing' her quite a bit. I'm not just suggesting that for the yuri subtext. (Though it is a bonus)

Absalom is good but I'm disappointed his locks aren't as flowing as the Bible led me to believe.

List of Servants I've made
Vish Kanya - Now she's done I'll comment. I like how you've linked the first Noble Phantasm to Hassan of Serenity, it's a nice touch. Also, props for using
Kalaripayattu as a skill as it's rarely seen.
Athena - Interesting to see. I once was working on an Athena sheet (which eventually turned into Diomedes) I thought Athena just shoved the Gorgon's head into Aegis, making them the same shield. However you've mentioned her as Archer a few times so you need to fix that not like I've failed to proof read myself a few times...
There are no masculine pictures of Libra.

7 Grand Servants are the epitome of each class, no? Like Solomon the king of magic, Grand Saber being the king of knights is a good guess.
The priest was waiting for the arrival of the princess, who was only an enemy of all of them.
For the priest, the golden princess was the one and only main heroine.
Everyone else was unworthy of his respect, no matter how strong they were.
Tsukihime 2 Prelude III
Hasn't that been almost confirmed? Ayako Kawasumi is doing the voice (from the datamine), so there's a high chance that it is some version of King Arthur.
Though if they're supposed to be the epitome of each class, my first guess would have been for a swordsmanship teacher, or at least somebody who was remembered more as a swordsman than a king. Fiore dei Liberi, Johannes Liechtenauer, Sigmund Ringeck, Miyamoto Musashi, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, the Yue Sword Maiden... A lot of people really, I guess? People who dedicated a good part of their lives to the sword art?
Yeah, there's no way TM would have anybody other than Arturia as their Grand Saber. They love her too much.

Tsukihime 2 Prelude III
I thought that Michael's omnidirectional flaming sword originally belonged to Jesus, so I had him use that one. But if we are straying from Judeo Christian mythology, Nuada could be a Grand Saber. The Tuatha de Danann are a grey line between "unusually human gods" or "humans with godlike power" or "famous true ancestors" so they might fit the bill...
Would it be ok for Paul Revere to be a double summon of Caster and Rider?
Mostly for Item and territory creation representing his modernization and skill as a smith (silver smith to be exact). The territory would most likely be a factory of some sort. I was planning to make him based around the use of familiars (minute men/artillery gunners, and workers) and have his Midnight Ride be something like this:
Rider activates his noble phantasm giving his a rank up to agility and endurance, during this time all enemy servants must attack/follow rider unless they have anti-mental interference. Rider then leads them to a part of the city where he has his Familiars (minute men) sitting in wait ready to open fire. If he has created any artillery guns with his Item Creation skill he can use those in the ambush as well.
