Well assuming Beast's Lair and Microsoft Word count their characters in the same way we still have some space left.
My post with the index comes up to roughtly 110,000 characters, while Beast Lair's character limit for a post is about 150,000 from what I understand.
Well at this point CaS 3 might as well be as far away as half life 3
This may be somewhat stupid, and if there is a specific thread for creating servants from the modern day then I am truly sorry for posting this, but I would love to see a servant that was not admired for reasons relating to boattle prowess, but environmentalism, so that they are favored by Gaia as a result. That said there is a man who lives in India who is known for having planted an entire forest that is bigger than Central Park single-handedly, and turning a desert into a rainforest. Tigers and elephants and other endangered animals live there, and its been a boon to their populations. Maybe he could be classified as some kind of sage or something. Would any of the expert servant profile creators be willing to do this man and his legacy justice by creating a servant profile for him? His name is Jadav Payeng. Thank you.

Well, Koga wrote up a Theophrastus sheet a while ago, and while not exactly an environmentalist he was regarded as the "father of botany" for his work on categorizing plants. Also, Sunny wrote up a quite good sheet for Henry Thoreau, an early environmental activist who advocated humans returning to nature to be happy. Maybe not exactly what you had in mind, but it's pretty close. Jadav Payeng does sound interesting though. I imagine his NP would be terraforming his surroundings to recreate one of his famous forests that he can then exert divine authority over. I might take a look at his history and see if there's enough to base a sheet on.
Thank you so much for doing so, it means a lot to me.

I just had an interesting idea for a new subcategory of servants: Famous ships summoned with all of their power and historic weight into a human form via the personification of them by the sailors who crewed them, with the country that made them and the ethnicity of their crew affecting their ethnicity and nationality, and the skills of their crew perhaps giving them minor personal traits. If any of you know of Kantai Collection, they could look something like that. If this sounds interesting to anyone then I am very excited to see what you guys come up with. It will be cool to see not only World War era warships, but maybe chinese turtleships as well? Show me how far your creativity and skill at crafting servant sheets can take you!
Would anyone have a problem with me suggesting ideas for historical figures who could be turned into servants? I ask because even though I won't ever be able to write servant sheets, I sometimes have neat ideas in relation to historical figures that I would love to see incorperated into sheets about them, as that would give me just as much satisfaction as writing one myself would. For instance I would love to see a servant sheet about Deputy Chief Engineer Anatoly Dyatlov, a reactor engineer who was in charge of the exercise when the reactor at Chernobyl exploded and, putting aside the structural design weaknesses of the reactor itself, is seen as having been responsible for the disaster in the first place. Some official estimates put the eventual death toll that be owed to Chernobyl at hundreds of thousands, so it would be cool if he had a personal skill that was the opposite of Innocent Monster, seeing that he is largely responsible for the disaster even though he denied personal responsibility for it to his dying day, was physically and verbally abusive to his coworkers, and was in such denial about it happening at the time that he refused to believe that there was fatally reactive graphite on the ground or that the reactor had even exploded even though had a front row seat to the disaster having been inside the reactors control room and administered it himself. Maybe he would have a passive zone of radioactivity around himself? Who knows? I recommend watching the miniseries to get an idea of his character, as it appears to have been rather true to life.

When it comes to writing for a purpose, provided it's not for typical correspondence like an email or something like this, I have extreme difficutly articulatig my thoughts. To explain, imagine that each time you had to write an essay or a paragraph, no matter your familiarity with doing so, you had to roll dice, and if you failed at all, that was it. That is what writing is like for me, due to my neurodivergence. Even though I have aced every essay I have ever written and have done so aften enough that I have accomplished my dream and published a book for my own perusal that is inches thick, I will never get good enough that I enjoy doing so. To be completely honest, I abhor writing with every fiber of my being, as it is something that I will never improve at no matter how hard I try (I am being as literal as I can possibly be with that statement). Contrary to what some people say, there are things that a person cannot get better at no matter how hard they try, just like there are things that they are great at without any prior experience.

Servant Berserker:
Appearance:
Source
True Name: Aristodemus "Last of the Spartans"
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Alternate Classes: Lancer, Shielder
Armament: Spear and shield
Strength- B
Agility- C
Endurance- B-
Mana- D
Luck- D
NP- C+
Personality
Class Skills:
Mad Enhancement- B
A Skill that characterizes the Berserker Class. Raises parameters in return for a loss of reason and/or sealing mental capacities. At this rank, all parameters are ranked up, but most of one's sanity is lost. Berserker's madness stems from his guilt and shame over being unable to fight and die alongside his comrades in their last battle.
Personal Skills:
Murderous Intent- B
The mentality of one who fights without balking at death. By ignoring the limits of his flesh Berserker can temporarily attain an enormous boost to his Strength and Agility parameters. However, as this is tantamount to embracing his own death Berserker incurs severe self-damage when using this Skill.
No longer shall he run away like the coward he once was. Instead, Berserker vows to sprint headlong towards his demise, hoping that a glorious fall in battle will wash away his disgrace.
Disengage- C
The ability to retreat from combat and return to allied territory after an engagement. At this rank, Berserker can break away from battle effectively. It has an additional effect of returning disadvantageous battle conditions to their initial state, and forcibly cancelling several status ailments.
Berserker is most famous for having escaped fighting at the last stand of Thermopylae. Even if he was officially ordered by Leonidas himself to return home because of an eye infection, Berserker is still remembered as a cowardly wretch who fled while leaving his comrades to die.
Berserker himself despises this Skill, considering it a blot on his legend that he wishes to erase. Thus he'll normally refuse to flee battle, even when doing so would be strategically advantageous. However, as even in the throes of madness Berserker is still a loyal soldier at heart, he will reluctantly make use of this Skill to withdraw if his Master orders him to.

So here's a fresh sheet I cooked up last night and this morning. I came across this guy's name on a list of historico-mythical figures who could make interesting Servants and thought he had enough potential to write up. And I'm aware I basically gave him the Penance Stare as an NP. What can I say, I thought it fit. As usual, comments and critiques are welcome. Thanks!

I love the sheet, especially the picture you used to represent him. I have a question though, would Aristodemus' past and wrongful condemnation as a coward make him eligible for the Innocent Monster skill, and if so at what rank and degree of effect?
Hmm. It would be possible. If Andersen can be made into a child based on people's perception of him based on his stories, it would certainly be within the realm of possibility for Aristodemus to have being warped by the Innocent Monster Skill, perhaps of the same variation as Antonio Salieri.
I do like Aristodemus a whole lot! It's a really fun take on Berserkers' usual lack of self-preservation instinct; and I'm always a sucker for Servants that are trying to right their own wrongdoings.
I kind of doubt Aristodemus would qualify for Innocent Monster honestly. His condemnation as a coward is still grounded in actions Aristodemus actually did (deserting battle because he was a sick). It wasn't something made up entirely that distorted his existence as a Servant like Vlad or Salieri. In any case, I'm glad y'all like the sheet!

My next Servant! Also one from classical Europe. Hm. I should probably diversify. The only thing I'm a lil unsure about is whether or not I should've made Pythagoras a Foreigner instead, because to be frank he kind of has some intense Foreigner energy. It's mostly that the whole Root Gatekeeper thing sounded more interesting to me. Oh well.[/SIZE]

Interesting to see another version of Pythagoras after I'd written up my take on him not long ago. The "guardian of the Root" idea you came up with for him is quite creative. You also did a good job of choosing NPs that encapsulate Pythagoras's life and legend as a whole. Overall, a very solid sheet.

Iara's honestly pretty cool!
If I had to say anything it would be that she's kind of similar to Kiyohime? Although, all these anecdotes of monster women with possessive streaks make that kind of hard to avoid. I guess ancient humans just had their kinks lol. I guess one thing worth asking is why exactly being in rivers would grant her Independent Action? Presence Concealment is fair enough, Magic Resistance kind of makes sense too, but why IA?
Edit: Also, I've found myself recently becoming enamored with the concept of a Foreigner Jeanne d'Arc - one that heard the whispers of a very different kind of God. Only issue is... I can't seem to figure out which Lovecraftian Entity to actually pick for the role. Might anyone here have any suggestions?

Okay, last Servant from Classical History/Mythology for me. I promise. (I don't promise.) This time, it's Aeneas because I'd already done Dido, had a sheet for this guy that was pretty much already complete sitting around, and decided I wanted to complete the set. He's kind of overpowered, but I feel like that's fitting given the way the dude is pretty much set up to succeed for literally everything in Virgil's big ol epic about him.
He'd probably have like a Lancer class in which he was much more like his former self; a 100% stoic dude who executes what is desired of him without question and without heed of his own emotions. Poor guy.
