    Wow that is a big discussion, well i best get started and clarify.

    Ok, the reason that Satan has no stats is that of his unreal existence. Satan's form can be considered something of a conceptual being, as a demon is not something created by this world but by human desires, thus imaginary. The only reason that he has a physical shape is thanks to the black mud and the contract formed by his Master. His sole desire of the Holy Grail is to allow him to have an actual existence rather than the fake one that he has. If you want to know how strong he is, he is as strong as his Master as he used him as a template for his body, so about as strong as a normal human, barely comparable to the strength of a Servant.

    As for Transfiguration, that skill is more appropriate with Servants that are living weapons as Enkidu. Satan uses his shapeshifting mostly for trickery rather than battle, so i decided to go with the skill Shapeshifting

    Merem's imaginary demons have physical forms.

    Class Name: Caster
    True Name: Aeacus
    Alignment: Lawful Good
    Original lifetime: One generation before the Time of Herakles. 1400~BC
    Place of Birth: Greece

    STR: D AGI: C

    END: C MGI: A+

    LCK: A NP: A+

    Class Skills:

    Territory Creation: A

    Creation of a Temple, superior to a Workshop, becomes possible.

    Item Creation: A+

    Able to create incredible magical items and wonders of architecture. As one of the creators of the impassable Walls of Troy, which held back the charge of three Dragons upon their completion, there is none that could possibly deny the skill of Aeacus.


    Personal Skills:

    Divinity: A

    Said to be the son of Zeus and the daughter of the River God Asopus, Aegina. Additionally, for his justice and piety, Aeacus was made one of the three Judges of the Dead after his demise, granting him the highest normally achievable level of Divinity.

    Affection of the Gods: B

    Blessings from the gods that strengthen the hero in question, raising all stats except MGI at this rank. The gods loved Aeacus greatly during his rule as king of the island of Aegina, and it is believed that they trusted him so greatly that he was even set to settle divine disputes justly and safely, which earned him the respect of even Hera, who despised him as one of the bastard sons of Zeus.

    Charisma: B

    The natural talent to command an army. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. A rare talent. At this rank, it is sufficient to lead even a country. While his empire was not as wide or glorious like that of his half-brother Minos, there is not one of his kingdom's inhabitants that did not love and praise their just king, who ruled with piety and fairness.

    High-Speed Divine Words:
    B

    The power to activate Thaumaturgy without the use of Magic Circuits. The language of the Age of Gods, back when words played a heavy role in spellcasting. Blessed with great magic by his bloodline that traces to both Zeus and Asopus, Aeacus' power over the arcane was what allowed him to reshape his island's terrain to make it impervious to pirate attacks.

    Noble Phantasms:

    Pray To The Gods, Just One, And Let Water Return To Our Land
    Drought of the Gods: A

    Anti-Army

    A Noble Phantasm representing a prophecy of the Oracle of Delphi that a drought that ravaged all of Greece would not seize until Aeacus prayed to the gods for it to do so. When he did, the drought immediately stopped, and verdant beauty returned to the land of Greece. Channeling this same power with the consent of the gods on his side, Aeacus drains the land of water and prana, even dehydrating humans as he siphons the country's lifeforce. Leylines become faulty, water becomes scarce and the ground cracks at Aeacus' behest, and all this power is stored within him. On his mark, all of this power can be fired forth at once as an unstoppable blast of prana-heavy water that annihilates armies and heroes alike. Though if the power is not released onto the land it was used on within a few days, it will cause permanent damage to the land that cannot be healed.

    This Noble Phantasm's power increases in power based on how much land Aeacus uses this it on. By using it on big enough swathes of land, it becomes possible for to even exceed the power it's rank should usually imply.

    From Ants Came The Mightiest of Men
    The Myrmidons: A+

    Transformation

    A power that Aeacus inherited from Zeus, to whom he prayed after a horrific plague decimated most of his island nation's population. Zeus pitied his son, and as to help him he transformed all the ants on his sacred oak on the island into men and women, who from that day on should be known as the Myrmidons. They were fierce fighters and loyal subjects who questioned no order and fought as well as ten ordinary men.

    This Noble Phantasm represents the re-enactment of this incredible miracle, though the changes in the world leaves it weaker than it was in ages past. By letting ants crawl onto his hand, he can transform them into Myrmidons, each half as strong as those made by Zeus. As they are not made with a Divine Spirit's Authority or a power of similar strength they cannot function as normal humans and live a normal life, but they can still fight as well as five soldiers of Aeacus' era and obey every order. As there is no theoretical limit to this ability's numbers due to the soldiers not needing upkeep, being so perfect in their form as humans that they fool the world, this Noble Phantasm can easily raise an army in a matter of minutes. Naturally, all Myrmidons are reverted to ants upon Aeacus' downfall.

    We Gods Place The Burden of Judgement Upon Thy Shoulders, Aeacus
    Unbiased Judge of Europe: B

    Anti-Unit

    The Noble Phantasm representing Aeacus' position after his death. Because of his incredible sense of justice and great piety, the Gods of Olympus took his soul and made him a Judge of those who crossed the River Styx together with his half-brothers Rhadamanthys and Minos. Rhadamanthys judged those from the east, Aeacus judged those from Europe and Minos held the deciding vote.

    As a Noble Phantasm, it is a simple trump card that can only come into play at the verge of his opponent's defeat. Once the enemy passes the point where they can only keep standing thanks to willpower and fighting spirit, Aeacus can judge whether they live or die, and whichever he chooses is absolute. Only an extreme ability to change fate can possibly avert the judgement of one so just and righteous. However, this only works against an opponent Aeacus is certain originates from Europe.


    Authors Note: Retooled my NP for Minos because it's only fair all 3 have an NP based on their role as Judges. I sadly couldn't think of an ability for a potential Noble Phantasm based on his possession of Hades' scepter and keys.

    Unless Seika has a secret stash of cool Rhadamanthus stuff, I got nothing. Information on him is pretty scarce.

    I'll add 'Myrmidons' to the ways ants can take over the world.

    I'm thankful~ The lack of parameters are sensible then.

    ...Not even an opinion. You just made what is appropriate up;-;

    Regardless, since he has parameters to modify, my objection is void. Good luck and best of creativity, for other sheets you may create<3

    Shapeshifting is a skill. It's just only been shown in the CCC manga.

    Nevertheless, Avenger has N/A stats since he has no body. Remember, his normal form is just a black human shaped void. The only reason he can hold objects and interact with the world is Shirou's body he inhabits - thus, Possessed!Shirou has stats. The same stats Shirou has. Somewhere around 1-3 for each. As in, below E Rank.

    The snake here should have parameters for you to tell how hard they are to kill. When the Parameter is only '1', write a 1 on the sheet. Not an issue.
    What are you talking about? There's no status option in Hollow Ataraxia so there's no stats. Why would you ever write 1 on a Servant stat sheet?

    Class: Rider
    True Name: Sisera, Commander of the Iron Horde
    Alignment: Lawful Neutral
    Likes: partying hard. Also women.
    Dislikes: also wooomen!... ?
    Talents: partying hard.
    Natural Enemy: meddling woooomeeeen.
    Image Color: ochre, blue and silver. Shiny silver for the chariots.


    STR: B MGI: C
    END: B LCK: C
    AGI: D NP: A


    Background:

    Sisera was the commander of the Canaanite army of King Jabin of Hazor, who is mentioned in Judges 4-5 of the Hebrew Bible.
    A mighty leader, Sisera commanded an horde of iron chariots that managed to oppress the Israelities for twenty years, infamously holding his own against the men of Judah, aided by the Lord Himself.

    “The LORD was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had chariots fitted with iron.” (Judges, 1-19)

    This however didn’t too last long, as he lost for his first time against the forces rallied up by the prophetess Deborah, eventually being treacherously killed by another woman, Jael, who drove a tant peg through his skull while he was asleep, trusting the hospitality of the woman.


    Class and Personal Skills:

    Riding: A
    It’s the expertise to ride animals and vehicles. At this level, all creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts. Due to the unique nature of his army, a higher rank of this skill is not necessary to optimal combat.

    Magic Resistance: D
    It grants protection against magical effects. Differently from the Resistance effect that merely rejects prana, this ability cancels the spells altogether. At this level, it cancels Single-Action spells. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy.

    Military Tactics: C
    The tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
    Also according to the Midrash, Sisera had previously conquered every country against which he had fought.

    Charisma: C
    The natural talent to command an army. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. At this rank it is enough to be considered a worthy leader of an army.
    Thirty-one kings followed Sisera merely for the opportunity of drinking, or otherwise using, the waters of Israel.

    Roaring Voice: A
    Strictly speaking, a system of magical circuits commander Sisera was born with, embedded in his throat.
    Although the record for loudest human voice lies in the range of 120 dB, thanks to this unique mutation Sisera can, upon shouting, create an instantaneous sound wave of over 160 dB. In this range, the air surrounding essentially turns into plasma and, as according to tradition, Sisera could use it to shake down walls and even kill wild animals; way above the threshold of pain and capable of causing hearing damage over long-term exposure, even if not continuous, and louder than a jet engine. It is in fact a roar more fit of a phantasmal beast than a human.
    Needless to say, only Riders driving their mounts at full throttle and charging Berserkers, when the highest levels of STR and END apply, can withstand it. Those Servants with a high enough rank of AGI can somehow mitigate the effects of being toppled over (upon repeated exposure however, there is a progressive decrease in this very rank, due to hearing loss)
    It is a simple attack in nature, but extremely efficient: requiring relatively low prana, thus being able to be performed in short succession; furthermore, since at its base it’s a physical attack, Magic Resistance doesn’t apply when defending against it. A useful skill that compensate a Rider’s usual weakness against close-range attacks.


    Noble Phantasm:

    Harosheth Haggoyim
    Smithy of Nations
    Rank: A
    Type: Anti-Army
    The imposing fortress and cavalry base of Sisera.
    A semi-autonomous Noble Phantasm, in which powerful drone-chariots are assembled one after another by an autonomous assembly line (based on a blueprint archived in the system) up to a number of nine hundred products, which is however the operational upper limit of the fortress’ system in handling these robotic vehicles at any given time.
    Each one of these chariots is comparable to a C-rank Noble Phantasm itself, assembled by wielding together the available technology with prana and specific magic systems known as mystic codes. As such, this is perhaps the greatest weakness of the production line: although able to operate independently, without further inputs aside from the initial order, it has however to rely on the available resources that can be provided to the factory, and due to the sheer amount of specimens to be produced, this process also requires time to reach the full operativity of the army in assembling all possible specimens.
    One the other hand, while it’s true that the single sheer firepower of each iron chariot cannot be compared to the likes of famous and divine chariots of mythology, a correct use of the features being made available can nonetheless overwhelm enemy armies not through weaker attacks, but higher manoeuvrability. Also unlike other mystical chariots, they are strictly land-bound and against fast single opponents, it’s more likely that they would end up shooting each other in a crossfire of friendly fire.
    Another limitation is that, due to the strictly physical nature of them, they cannot be dematerialized, but are kept stored inside Harosheth Haggoyim where the damaged and battle-worn ones can be repaired and refueled with prana by a similar assembling line. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a suitable place that allows to be easily defended against assaults before deploying the Noble Phantasm.
    Each of these tank-chariots is not much bigger than a tachikoma, and can be individually piloted, or controlled and given battle instructions by the control tower back at the fortress, or set to operate autonomously via a set of programmed instructions inside the software of the fortress. In any case, any number of these UCVs can be employed at any time for a seperate task, following predetermined battle strategies, again programmed inside the software. The nature of these softwares allows to be tweaked for other, more personalized uses, but unfortunately Sisera lacks the basic know-how to do so, being limited in his range of choices to just exploit the features he knows how to activate.
    Perhaps the most advantageous perk in the long run is that, due to the physical and automatic nature of the whole process, the chariots can be used by others as well, even in the unfortunate case where Rider would be defeated and pass away...

    Oh yeah, I remember him back when I was going to make Jael as an Assassin but nothing came of it.

    Nice profile, man.

    I remember fantasizing that Jael would be the name of a pile-bunker, while Sisera's iron chariots could fly like planes.

    I thought it was cool.

    It is cool, but then it would have been a bit too much, don't you think? 900 flying drones would have been too OP.

    Besides, if Sisera's chariots could fly, there would have been no reason for the Isrealites to take shelter on mountains.

    ...?o.o
    Since I have no response in regards to Ataraxia, I can only concede on your first objection.
    I... would imagine there could be a few very bad or very specialized Servants with (some of) their Parameters in the human tier, despite boost from fame and class container.

    Say, a hero famous for his weak build. Perhaps someone who couldn't stand on their own power despite an otherwise functional body, due to a medical condition. I believe I have heard of such. The hypothetical spirit has around the Strength of three humans as a Servant. Fame is stated by Nasu Kinoko-kun to be a minor boost unless you are in the area where your legend is widespread - say he is given the physical might of another person(Again, hypothetical - I do not claim to read the writers' minds and know how the fame boost functions). Or maybe his fame as a weakling reduces the stat by the same, as Vlad's parameters are hurt outside of Romania. Class Container pulls them up somewhat. 3-6 on the sheet. Since + and - are meant as situational modifiers E- would not convey as intended.

    For sure, you can see merit in the allowance to see at least specific numbers instead of shorthand for the Parameters of your Servant when they can't scratch another one with a normal attack.
