Hey, I'm being considerate here. I'm only saying the fanfiction forum is terrible, not the fanfiction itself.
Posting my reworked Assassin sheets here, as unlike my Berserker sheets which have been expanded yet are centred around the same concepts, these guys ended up pretty different upon rewriting, at least in certain places (Erik's been updated too, but moved to the other thread):
Pedro Romero Martinez
William Wallace (no seriously)

Asdfghl, you took the False Berserker idea for Odysseus and ran with it. I still prefer my profile over yours as its complete and because its mine, but you have a solid start.
@ Blackdeath6031 - Don't be so hard on yourself. For a first-time Servant profile I'd say you did a pretty good job on him! I think it was Lyco who earlier mentioned he'd like to see a profile on the Dai-Tengu, and I think he makes for an interesting Servant with his ability to go from an almost traditional Caster (nice job with the Exile personal SKill and its handicap by the way) to a Saber-eque winged monster.
A friend wanted me to post his servant sheet of Kotomine Kirei here.
Name: Kotomine Kirei
Class: Assassin
Biography: Kotomine Kirei is a somewhat Empty human being, seeking a reason to live. In life he had nearly mastered many things but constantly switched. He joined the Church, reasons no completely known, like his father. He has participated in the Original 4th and 5th Holy Grail Wars, as Master of Assassin, Lancer, and an Archer.
He was always on the side labelled as Evil though. Very few things can touch his heart, and one of them is the suffering of others. Another is extremely spicy Mabo Tofu that he eats rapidly without drinking, to the point you can see him sweating.
He had lost both wars, to two generations of Emiya's, the second one having resulted in his death. It isn't completely clear how he died though. He has many skills, and served in many roles, such as the Supervisor of the Holy Grail War, an Executioner of the Church, and an Apprentice to a High Standing Magus.
While he himself shouldn't have Magic Circuits, his were some sort of divine right from God for his father's faith. The rest of his magic comes from many command spells on his right arm, going up the Elbow. They were aquired from his father, who was killed while supervising the 4th War.
When he died he had no regrets, as he had lived his life, and found what he desired. He fought for his ideals against someone who was the same as him, but walked down a different path. His appearance is that of during the Fourth Holy Grail War, when he was at his best.
Extra stuff: Loves Mabo Tofu when it's extremely Spicy, Likes Others Suffering
Noble Phantasm: Baptism Rite: Holy Miracle of Magic - A baptismal chant, the sole magical miracle that is permitted to be learned in the Church. Within the systematic basis of thaumaturgical theory, the teachings of God are considered the greatest weapon against wandering spirits even if one possesses weak capacities of physical interference. In this case, it is a very powerful holy attack.
Noble Phantasm Rank: B++
Noble Phantasm Range: Anti-Unit
Strength: C
Agility: A
Mana: D+
Luck: E
Endurance: B-
Class Skills:
Presence Concealment: A
Unique Skills:
Chinese Martial Arts: A
Battle Continuation: EX
Eye of Mind (True): B

"Well he didn't die when Killed D:"
He dies when killed (if not necessarily straight-away), just not if his ruined heart is immediately replaced.
Besides, even letting go various canon difficulties for the sake of it obviously not being intended as an official sheet, there's still kinda mad stuff here. A-rank Agility? A Servant sheet where they're specifically content at death? Several problems here. (Oh, and this falls under the Fanfic C-a-S thread, not the General Discussion one).

Hmm, I wonder how a Create-a-Master thread would work, considering the Create-a-Servant thread is pretty awesome.
-Yet those gems will never roll anything-
Revised profile of one of my first characters in this thread. Here he is like Saber, with no abilities on NP from other classes.
«I’ll end this»
Name: King Gesar
Class: Saber (qualify for other classes)
Alignment: Neutral Good
STR: A
AGI: B
CON: B
MGI: A
LCK: A
Noble Phantasm: A+
Class Skills.
Magical Resistance. Protection against magical effects.
Rank «A»: Cancels spells of A-rank and below. In practice, no magi of today can hurt Servant.
Riding. Expertise to ride vehicles and animals.
Rank «A»: All creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts.
Class Skills.
Tranqulity. Mental state of utmost serenity. Allows negation of mental interference.
Rank «A+»: Any kind of mental-interference is blocked. This Servant will remain absolutely calm even when facing mortal danger.
It is said that mind of Gesar is like a clear sky. Not even Supreme God of Tirthikas was able to affect his psyche.
Eye of Mind (True). Heightened insight, refined through experience.
Rank «B»: Capable of calm and detached analysis of situation even in mortal danger. As long as there is 1% of victory, Servant is capable of turning odds in his favor.
Both Gesar's intelligence and skills as a warrior are praised.
Divinity. Measurment of Divine Spirit aptitude. It can also decrease due one's dislike for the gods. It also has an effect which reduces special defensive values called "purge defense" in proportion to the Divinity's Rank.
Rank «A»: As son of the supreme deity of the Sky, worshipped as god after his death, this Servant possess divinity of a highest rank.
Gesar is usually depicted as heavenly emissary, who returns to realm of Gods after his mortal accomplishments.
Knowledge of Respect and Harmony. Ability to prevent decrease in effectiveness of a technique, regardless of how many times it is used against same opponent.
Rank «A»: It's virtually impossible to adapt to the technique of this Servant.
Gesar sword skills are praised in the epic. He is described as greatest warrior on Earth.
Noble Phantasm.
Sherab Raltri - Sword of Thoroughly Ascertaining Reality.
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-unit
The Crystal Sword of Truth. One may call it conceptual weapon of "through cut", or "the sword more real, than reality itself". Its sharpness is unmatched, and it is capable of cutting through any kind of material in the world. Not even symbols of Heroic Spirits, they physical objects, or concepts, are exceptions. Noble Phantasms of lower ranks can be destroyed in a single strike and while higher-ranked and those, which possess special qualities of being "indestructible", are more resistant, they still would be damaged and may be annihilated if assault is continuous.
Sheer power of this Noble Phantasm is further aggravated, when combined with Gesar's unique battle style. Due to his ability to easily withstand pain and disorientation, he is capable of ridiculous feats in combat. Many of his techniques puts the body under stress to the point of physical injury, and some of them require it (for example, several strikes can be performed only because of temporal joint dislocation). He also doesn't suffer decrease in fighting ability when fighting on unfavorable terrain or in unusual pose. For example, he can continue attacking with the same pace, even when he is forced to fall on the ground, for example.
The main disadvantage of this weapon is high consumption of magical energy. To use this Noble Phantasm, the user should have at least A-Rank in MGI. To decrease expenditure of magical energy, series of magical seals, which stop flow of prana, are usually placed on the blade. Because of this, the sword becomes duller, but keep it materialized becomes easier. Also, this weapon seals other special abilities of the user (such as Noble Phantasms, even passive ones, and magical abilities).
Background.
Titular character of the Epic of King Gesar. That story is widespread amongst the people of Central Asia, and is regarded as "the longest epic in the world" by some scholars. Gesar is regarded as divine being, incarnated on Earth to terminate evil forces, such as various demons and tyrants. He starts his campaign to vanquish evil at a very young age, and continue it through all his life. In the Epic Gesar is described as both powerful sorcerer and superb warrior. He can be summoned in all Classes, besides Assassin.
In combat, he exerts supremacy in melee, as one may expect from the Servant of Saber Class. Even when Sherab Raltri is sealed, he is extremely dangerous opponent due to his inhuman battle style. One may say that he has no weakness in close combat due to perfect combination of physical power and combat skills. When his Noble Phantasm is unleashed, he is capable of defeating even stronger opponents quite easily. It is better to try using ranged attacks against him
In Saber Class his mentality is more like “divine executioner”, rather than his usual “carefree deity”. His communication with Master and others would be limited to Grail War-related topics; he probably will not talk about anything else. However, he will oversee and judge Master's actions, and may rebel if he finds them unworthy. Though most likely he will attack Master without premonition of any kind.

@ Blastedspider - So he's basically an overwheming beast in melee and the silent, stoic type (unless discussing strategy for the HGW), but if he doesn't like you, he'll cut you down without warning (no chance for you to use your Command Spells). Looks like his incredible melee power is balanced by his hard-to-read personality. An NP that can cut through other NPs sounds kind of like BS, but its really the only thing he's got going for him besides his incredible combat skills, and costs so much prana you'd think he was a Berserker, so that balances it out a bit.
Yes, you are right. He is sort of murder machine.
As for Sherab Raltri... Well, I thought that it is theoretically possible to destroy Noble Phantasm with other Noble Phantasm (Gordius Wheel being broken by Excalibur). When I took a step further, and combined it with Gesar's sword, which is said to be able to cut through mountains and oceans, and capable of cutting spirtual stuff as spirits and magic. The magical energy expenditure and sealing of other abilities were attempts to balance what out. He also is weak against things such as Bellerophon or beam-type attacks.
No, I'm 98% sure it's discussed that they all need to have a wish to be summoned (or respond to the summoning). Artoria wants the Grail itself, but the rest are supposed to want to do something with the wish-granting machine. See for example 5th Hassan's desire to be remembered, 4th Hassan's desire to become fully integrated and so forth.

To be fair, the threshold for what constitutes a valid wish is pretty low. A good chunk of heroes seem content just having a chance to try to beat the shit out of other heroes.
