List of Servants I've made
Certainly wasn't expecting a Gandhi sheet here, given that his whole philosophy of non-violence hardly suits the 'kill or be killed' attitude of the Grail War. But you did a pretty good job presenting him as an ideal defensive Servant. Fitting to who he was in life, he has zero offensive Skills or Noble Phantasms but with his second NP, other Servants would have very good reason to refrain from attacking him. I can't see him actually winning however, unless all the other Servants annihilate themselves and he's the last one standing.
You could probably add a corollary to Charisma saying that, do to his pacifist nature, the army-commanding aspect has been lost. His charisma is an ability to influence hearts and minds, not to lead armies into battle. Or you could change it into raising a non-violent resistance force instead of an army. As it is, the description is a little bit unfitting for him (though everything else is really good).
By the way, in the faceclaim you gave, is Gandhi the bald guy on the right or the bishonen looking guy on the left? The former would fit more how he actually looked (at least, in his later years) but I'm secretly hoping the latter. (Bishonen Gandhi FTW!)
I'm certain the other guy is is India from Hetalia. The image is part of a collection of a crossover between Hetalia and Civilization V

Does anybody have an idea for a 'Starlight Sword' that isn't just a rip of Excalibur (or Balmung, Or Galatine, or...). I'm trying to do one for a Simon Bar Kokhbar sheet and, while I quite like the idea behind it (which is sufficiently convoluted and Nasu-esque) but I'm having trouble with the execution other 'bargain bin Excalibur' which is... really not what I want. Any help?
ZSB, I know you're heeee~eeere...
Hows about a blade "Blazing with the fires of his soul" with the attack power proportional to the strength of his willpower?

A sword which blinds the target with starlight, possibly?
My cousin once joked of one of Henry VIII's wives could become a heroic spirit, after drinking a bit too much around my aunt's (then again we all were) i got this horrid idea. Taking a few pages out of Nero Bride and Elizabeth Bathory's book and here were are with a bad joke not meant to be taken seriously at all.
---------------------
Class: Berserrker
True Name: Anne Boleyn
Alignment: Chaotic Queen
Place of Origin: England
Strength- C+
Endurance- C
Agility- A
Mana- D
Luck- C
NP- B+
Height/Weight: 174cm/70kg
Likes: Alcohol, Delinquency, Foundation
Dislikes: Fat men, Ugly men, Stupid men, Lazy men
Talent: Doing all the work and getting no credit.
Natural Enemy: Henry VIII
Class Skills:
- Mad Enhancement (E) - The user does not receive the benefits of Mad Enhancement nor do they lose any of their reasoning abilities, and overall they just become a little "rougher". A Luck Check is performed whenever damage is received, failure results in her going wild and all parameters gain a Rank-Up except Mana and Luck.
Personal Skills:
- Battle Continuation (E+) - Allows for a final surge of action after receiving a mortal blow. It was said that after decapitation, Anne's eyes and head continued to move of their own will.
- Dark Arts (C) - One who uses fictional magic to harm or control others for evil and selfish purposes. Anne was accused of witchcraft as a poor excuse for execution - as she has embraced her rebellious and that part of her history side she has gained this skill.
- Divine Right of Kings (C) - The divine right of kings or divine right is a political and religious doctrine of royal and political legitimacy. It asserts that a monarch is subject to no earthly authority, deriving the right to rule directly from the will of God. Those who listen to her voice feel a compulsion to obey. Additionally is combines Divinity and Charisma of the same rank. Although her husband "officially" ran both the country and the church - she was the one who did all the actual work, giving her a mediocre rank.
- Gold Digger (B) - Measures one's fortune to acquire from others wealth. Anne managed the finances of her country, even brilliant business acumen couldn't counter her husband's frivolous spending.
Noble Phantasm
Lore
----------
The Noble Phantasm was recycled from what I was originally going to give Henry but the he had a better connection to the Mary Rose so I figured it seemed a waste otherwise.

I'm assuming that you're saying this based on how Excalibur got treated in some of the source material.

Oh, and about beam swords, you could think of something like Drynwyn.
Beam swords are never going to be highly original in this franchise so don't worry too much. That said, you can come up with different attributes like what classification (Fortress, Army), range, composition (light slash amplified by users magical energy vs Sith lighting powered by hatred), hell, color, whatever.
Fox magic =/= Clown magic =/= Witch magicWitchcraft (D)
To be more specific: wrong description. You made an European character use Asian magic.

Hermes: So, your cousin's into Type-Moon as well? Cool. As for Anne herself... she seems neat. Never heard much of her before but the profile appears well-crafted and researched, with an entertaining personality. The Gold Digger Skill and Harley Quinn FC rubbed my fancy in particular (also Gold Digger nicely contrasts Henry's own Hedonist Skill).
Tower Of London... bit unusual to have her prison serving as her NP, but it works (and it'd be a shame for it to go to waste). Seems she'd be pretty good as a 'siege-type Servant' what with the lowering enemy's abilities and the patrolling knights. However, an Anti-Fortress NP of almost any sort sounds like it'd be deadly for her (given I can't see the Tower having much in the way of mystical defenses).

If I had one thing to say, I kind of doubt that just one's head and eyes moving around after death would really grant Battle Continuation at such a high rank. That's for warriors who actually fought entire battles while half-dead or the like, not just moving her head around a bit. Now, if she picked up her head and beat her executioners up with it and then died, it'd make more sense. Since the description says it allows for 'a final burst of action' rather then prolonged combat, I'd say E or E+ should be enough honestly.
My Internet got cut off earlier just when I was about to update my prev post, but here's the reason I said the witchcraft thing is wrong:

Thanks, changed things up and swapped Witchcraft with Dark Arts.

There's no problem with changing the Skill to something more original, but what Mizu said was false. Mephistopheles from GO has the Witchcraft Skill despite being very western. Unless it's some kind of translation thing?
- - - Updated - - -
It's in my interest to know too since I used the Witchcraft Skill for a European Servant as well (Baba Yaga, if you're wondering). I could easily swap it to 'Shamanism' or the like though, given that was my original idea and I didn't even use the Witchcraft description given on TM wiki for it.
Chinese classics need more love, they are really good.
Class: Caster
Name: Song Jiang
Alignment: Neutral Good
Place of Origin: China
Strength - E
Endurance - E
Agility - E
Mana - B
Luck - B
NP - A
Appearance: Caster is a tall, ordinary looking Chinese man of dark complexion. He arrives dressed in fairly opulent Chinese robes, but has no issue with changing his clothes to a more modern style. He will, however, dress his best when meeting an enemy. One feature about him that stands out is his fiery, piercing eyes that have been compared to those of a phoenix.
Personality: Caster is a kind, generous man who dislikes violence, although he knows when it is necessary and won't hesitate in that case. He tends to be on friendly terms with most people he meets. His only wish is to loyally serve his emperor or, in case of being summoned, Master, and his wish for the Grail will be to further his Master's wish. Although he is a learned person, he is also simple and straightforward, and it falls to his advisors to spot traps and deceit of the enemies.
Class Skills:
Territory Creation (A): Caster can designate an area as his "Marsh Fortress". Any uninvited guests will find themselves under great pressure when trying to enter or leave. Heroes with legends of walking on water or flying are immune to the effect, however. Addidtionally, within the fortress the power of 108 Heroes of Liangshan is enhanced.
Item Creation (C): Allows the production of Servant-level weaponry and armor, although they are limited to Chinese weapons and armor of Caster's time period.
Skills:
Charisma (B): Although Caster claims he was only chosen as the leader since he was the last chieftain's friend, he doubtlessly has the deep respect of every one of his followers. Even as he was passing through towns on his way to prison, the brand of a criminal on his cheeks, he made friends close enough that they would come to his rescue after hearing about his execution. Various small-time punks in particular will gravitate towards Caster, becoming his eyes and ears in town.
Trusted Advisors (A): Although Caster is no mage or general himself, the ranks of his army include masters of Dao and brilliant strategists to whose aid he will often resort. Equivalent to B-ranked Military Tactics, but also allows the use of potent Dao magic mostly revolving around controlling the weather, quick travel and divination.

Bad juju
I'm making a sheet for The Black Knight. They exist as a character archetype, not an exact person - kinda like Nursery Rhyme, but in a Saber flavour. Any ideas on the Noble Phantasm? Failing which, I'll just give him a pre-existing one we haven't seen much of.

Hmm. The most obvious idea would be to mirror Prince Charming's NP (whom I presume the Black Knight is intended as an antithesis to). So, you could have it be a dark, demonic sword which is the bane of all heroes and can unleash arcs of dark flame or some Chuuni shit like that. A little generic, but so was Charming's so it'd fit.
- - - Updated - - -
Other then that, maybe an armor that imposes fear into his adversaries based on the sense of dread associated with the Black Knight? Or a subtle reality-warping NP based off his narrative role as a 'destined villain'? I dunno. I'm just throwing out ideas here.
Just write a Sir Pellinore sheet.
