That awkward moment of having several ideas and not knowing on which one I should focus ...
We don't need sanity where we're going !
Top Level Notes:
On one mystic, magic night,
Jack O Lanterns glowing bright,
kids with bags of candy sweet,
roam door to door and street to street,
all dressed up for trick or treat!
Wizards with wands, pirates with hooks,
monsters and clowns with spooky looks,
kings and queens in capes and crowns,
a princess in her royal gowns,
witches with warts, fairies with wings,
movie stars with sparkling rings,
vampires with fangs that bite,
ghosts that boo all dressed in white.
Imaginations taken flight,
on that one mystic, magic night.
Oh the fun of Halloween,
be young or old or in between!

You weirdos.
Do you likejazzshort stories? Do you want something to distract from making Servants? Do you wish the idea of Shirou Kotomine didn't immediately bring edgelords to mind? Well, I can't promise it's good, but some would disagree with me.

This is the spookiest most adorable Servant ever made

Three words. This is gourd-geous.
I promise I have a more Halloween reveal to make. But for now, Lancer arrives:
LANCER
“Life is short. You may not die as you expect. That is all the more reason to continue on, to see the path that has been laid out. To meet the grave with naught else to say but, ‘Goodbye.’”

Character Compendium
Story - Ch. 3
Caster of Overshadowed Cure:
Appearance:
True Name: Miach
Alignment: Neutral Good
Strength- E
Agility- D
Endurance- C
Mana- A
Luck- C
NP- C
Personality
Class Skills:
Territory Creation- B
Creation of a "Clinic/Apothecary" becomes possible.
Item Construction- B+
Capable of manifesting basic (yet perpetually pristine) surgical instruments, as well as "sculpting" new limbs and organs of flesh and blood given enough time. Through the patronage over herbalism expressed in his Lusra Airmed Personal Skill Caster can grow any kind of medicinal plants from his blood.
Personal Skills:
Surgical Procedure- A++
Caster was a brilliant physician noted to have even surpassed his father, the god of medicine. He restored the high king Nuada's severed arm when even Dian Cecht could only devise a replacement silver one.
At this rank his surgical prowess is sublimated to the level of Divine Mystery, with Caster able to accomplish miraculous feats like seamlessly reattaching lost limbs and organs or even transplanting parts from another species onto the target without fear of (physical) rejection. Grafted parts retain the traits of the creature they came from, such as an eagle's sharpened sight if its eye is used to substitute one's own. Albeit this can result in mental damage from instincts of the "donor" bleeding over (such as a predator's bloodlust), so Caster is leery to perform such dubious procedures normally.
Caster is also capable of Spiritual Surgery such as exorcising evil spirits and reopening mental wounds to treat them, as in one account he drew out a devil from Nuada's blackened arm to kill it before healing him.
Quadrice Smote By The Medicine God- B
Out of jealousy for his greatest feat of healing, Caster's father Dian Cecht repeatedly cleft the boy's head with a sword challenging him to cure himself if he were really so great a physician. The first slice merely cut Caster's skin, which the boy easily healed. The second broke through to his skull but still the boy treated it. The third strike pierced all the way to his brain yet Caster still managed to mend himself. The fourth smite however split his brain right in two, eclipsing even the gifted young doctor's capacity to recover from and killing Caster.
This equates to a Personal Skill allowing Caster to instantly heal from up to three attacks in the course of the Grail War. However this can only be used three times and after that, the next fatal blow he takes will definitely kill Caster.
Lusra Airmed- A+
On Caster's death, the tears shed by his sister Airmed over his grave grew into 365 medicinal herbs. She sorted them out by their properties but Dian Cecht jealously scattered the herbs, which is the reason humanity still doesn't know the cure for every illness.
This anecdote transfers to Caster's blood, which sprouts medicinal herbs when any of it spills to earth. These herbs purify the soil of any contaminative influences (including Skills or Noble Phantasms that corrupt territory). Anyone who steps over them is restored a small amount of health while to existences deemed a pox unto the World itself such as Demons, Evil Spirits and Undead it serves a warding presence, burning them on contact. Furthermore the herbs can be harvested by Caster to bolster his Surgical Procedure Skill.
When Caster is killed a garden of medicinal plants springs forth around his corpse which establishes an apotropaic Bounded Field (Sanctuary), cleansing the space within of any toxins in or outside people's bodies. This cures disease, poison, curses and other status ailments in anyone around while immensely damaging the likes of Plague-Spirits or Undead. Afterwards however the garden immediately scatters and disappears along with Caster's body, reflecting its ephemeral nature in legend.
Divinity- A
Caster was son of Dian Cecht, physician amongst the Tuatha De Danann. However through ambiguity with whether the Tuatha De Danann were true gods or merely powerful superhumans that dwelt in ancient Ireland he only has this level of divinity, allowing him to be summoned normally as a Servant.
Noble Phantasm
So having written Mechi I decided to do a sheet for the similarly named guy who was also killed by Dian Cecht. As usual comments and critique would be welcome. Thanks for reading y'all!

Wow such a cool Servant that I never saw before Rey I absolutely love them they're so cute so creative so perfect best Halloween alt ever I dare say?
But srsly you guys, he made everything happen, clap for ya boy. ALSO THANKS A LOT FOR BEING SO PATIENT WITH THIS WF.
I missed these two.
Georg von Frundsberg: Not a Halloween servant, 0/10.
OK BUT IT'S SO GOOD. Just as his name implies, an interesting offensive-minded servant that I'd love to see demolish everything in a battlefield. Also that first NP is my favorite flavor of NPs for warriors. You gotta love when they're just too stubborn to even die.
Miach: I was already in love with your Mechi - best boy to ever best boy - so it's a pleasure to see you going even deeper on this lore. Plus, Miach is a sweet lil' guy and I'm weak to these types... You knew this would be a critical hit to my heart, didn't you!

Class: Rider
Other Classes: N/A
True Name: Tsunade and Princess Tagoto
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Place of Origin: Japanese Mythology
Stars: 4/5
Parameters:
STR: C
END: C
AGI: B
MGI: B
LCK: C
NP: B
Height: 198cm, 185cm
Weight: 130lbs, 125lbs
Likes: Ninjutsu, frogs and snails (Tsunade), the moonm, elegance (Princess Tagoto)
Dislikes: Snakes, dragons, kidnappers
Talent: Summoning snails
Natural Enemy: Nia Ngao Zhua Pa, Zhengde Emperor
Attribute: Earth
Traits: Female, Duo, Humanoid, Weak to Enuma Elish
Armament: Kunai, caltrops
Catalyst: A strange snail shell which glows green
Class Skills:
Magic Resistance B: They encountered some magic, in particular that of Orochimaru, in life, and as such are resistant to much modern magecraft.
Riding A-: Tsunade is capable of riding most basic mounts and even Phantasmal and Monstrous beasts, although she cannot ride Divine Beasts. Tagoto can only ride basic mounts, however.
Personal Skills:
Enmity of the Serpent B: Both of them were enemies to Orochimaru, a serpentine demigod who fiercely opposed them, and they played major roles in defeating him. This gains them both rank-ups against serpentine and draconic entities offensively, in addition to a resistance to poison and acids of all kinds.
Ninjutsu A-: Tsunade had incredibly effective ninja skills taught to her by the snail entity who taught her her magic, which she in turn passed on to Tagoto, though as she didn't have enough time to finish the training, Tagoto only gains rank C in this.
Acidic Ichor C: As Tagoto and Tsunade were attacked by Orochimaru, his acidic Dragon Breath variant hurt them extremely badly and sank into their scars, becoming a part of their blood and making it acidic and eating through things. This leads them to often use this blood to coat their kunai and caltrops and eat away at their targets.
Noble Phantasm(s):
Katatsuromi no Doku
Noxious King of Snails
Type: Anti-Fortress
Rank: B
Range: 15 meters
Max Targets: 1000 targets
The sublimation of Tsunade's powers to transform or manifest into a titanic snail, which she also taught to Tagoto. This passively enables them to be able to manifest snails and slime at their will. When this noble phantasm is activated, Tagoto transforms into an immense snail, a Snail Queen with a shell as durable as titanium which constantly oozes a noxious and extremely dangerous acid out of its pores. This serves as Tsunade's mount and their qualification for being in the rider class. However, Tagoto will try to avoid using this Noble Phantasm due to her feeling it's beneath her as a princess.
Lore: Tsunade was the deuteragonist in the legend of Jiraiya, a woman who met a snail entity and learned magic from him. She met Jiraiya and they joined forces to face down Orochimaru, eventually marrying as well. Princess Tagoto was a Princess who Orochimaru tried to make his bride by force, kidnapping her and poisoning her. She was rescued by Jiraiya and Tsunade, and learned some techniques from her.
Personality: Tsunade is a cheerful person who loves to fight and exercise, enjoying testing the strength of those who she sees. Tagoto is more elegant and dainty, far preferring to have tea ceremonies and socialize. The two get along surprisingly well, however, both dipping their toes in each other's interests whenever they can. Their wish is to simply live happily together, perhaps with Jiraiya remanifested as well so they can have their family fully together and their relationship back together.
Relationships:
Each other: "Oh, hey Tagoto! How was that tea ceremony?" "Oh, simply marvelous, thank you my dear. Unfortunate you couldn't make it. Can you come to the next one?" "Of course! And we are still on for that sparring tonight right?" "Always."
Nia Ngao Zhua Pa: "A dragon? Hmm, let's test my strength." "Oh, would you like to come to my tea ceremony?"
Pachacuti: "A terror state... *tsks* that's no way to run an empire." "I'm shocked you weren't destroyed honestly."
Zhengde Emperor: "Abuse of power? I see you'd be very weak." "And you lost control. However, I do see you're trying to do the right thing." "We'll be watching you."
Ferdinand von Zeppelin: "Balloons? They're capable of soaring that well?" "Hmm, I must say that must be more enjoyable then transforming into a snail."

Tsunade/Nagoto: Nice to see this sheet after I inspired it over in the Stat This thread. You did a good job expanding on her Skills and NP and their personalities are fun. Tomboy/girly-girl pair that genuinely gets along is nice to see. Honestly they're the kind of pair I'd like to ship were Jiraiya not there... Lastly I'm a little curious why Orochimaru isn't in their Natural Enemy section.
That's actually what I was trying to imply the idea is that they're in a happy poly relationship, ig didn't pull that off well and Orochimaru isn't because i haven't written him and he isn't a canon servant and that's generally what i'm trying to restrict my natural enemy and relationship lines to
I... really need to write these comments when the sheets drop, and post when I get a good amount. Waiting to write them until theirs's been a few means I have to write an extra three to come to pair....
Otherwise, nice job everyone!

Attribute: Beast
Traits: Male, Beast, Animal-like
Armament: Fangs, claws
Catalyst: A standard fairy tale
Class Skills:
Madness Enhancement EX: A savage entity built to merely be the villain of every story. An entity paradoxically obsessed with seeing the glory of heroes but yet abhoring all of them, for it is his duty to obliterate them as the villain.
Personal Skills:
Darkness Entity A: An entity often theorized to be the embodiment of darkness, this skill allows him to meld into shadows, obscuring himself with them. In addition, he can move far faster through shadows, and can melt to fit any shape within shadows, allowing him to reform whenever he needs.
Endless Consumption A: An entity whose very purpose is to eat, to be the one trying to eat the heroes. This skill enables him to eat anything, transforming it into mana as long as he is capable of eating them. In addition, every time he manages to eat a "hero", he gains bonuses to his stats.
The One You Love Most B: Big Bad Wolf disguised himself as the ones his prey loved most frequently, from Red Riding Hood's grandmother to the mother goat from the seven young goats. This enables him to disguise, appearing as whomever his prey loves most. However, there are always tiny flaws such as larger teeth.
Noble Phantasm(s):
Huff and Puff
Blow Your House Down
Type: Anti-Fortress
Rank: B
Range: 20 meters
Max Targets: 100 targets
The sublimation of one of his most famous deeds, blowing down the houses of the first two little pigs easily. When this noble phantasm is activated, he takes a huge breath, sucking in lots of air before blowing out a fierce tornado, which quickly tears down all in its way, especially Territories, which it was built to destroy.
Archetypical Villain
The Villain In Every Story
Type: Support
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Max Targets: N/A
The Big Bad Wolf is the standard villain who shows up in every fairy tale, dying, falling, but yet... every time he returns again, fulfilling his endless duty. This noble phantasm is the sublimation of his role as the "standard villain", allowing him to gain powers at his will that feel villainous enough. In addition, if a "hero" kills him, he cannot truly die, for his story just begins again, rebuilding his power. It must be broken by him dying to a non-"hero". As a side note, "heroes" don't always have to be good-aligned, for many fairy tale heroes weren't. They just have to be important.
Lore: The Big Bad Wolf was a famous fairy tale antagonist most noted for his roles in Red Riding Hood, where he ate her grandmother and then disguised as her to eat Red riding Hood, but was slewn by a friendly woodsman, and in the Three Little Pigs, where he blows their houses down. However, he appears in many, many tales of all kinds as a standard antagonist.
Personality: Outwardly, he seems to be a standard villain. Constantly gloating and cackling, obsessed with "heroes" and destroying them, monologuing about his evil plans..... but in actuality, he's desperately trying to break free of his role, to just once be the supporting character, to have a break from endlessly destroying... before going back to it of course. He enjoys his job but desperately wants a vacation. His wish is to get that chance.
Relationships:
Grimm: "Thanks for all the stories!"
Mrs. Lovett: "Consumption? Huh, maybe you could sub in for me next time?"
Ennigaldi: "Muahaha, keeper of the Museum, for I have seized it from you. And now I shall destroy all the information! Muahahaha!"
Paula Maxa: "An actor? You cannot hope to stand up to me, the Villain of Every Story!"
Namazu: "Fish aren't my favorite food but... it'll be tasty I hope."
Louis XI: "Weaving webs? Prepare for me to blow them all down, oh manipulative hero. Huff and Puff!"
Avenger of Fairy Tales
(by akasata. Source)
“We two are Servant Avenger, but don’t worry, despite our Class we promise you a happy ending.” “Just… you might want to look away, things won’t be so pleasant for everyone else.”
True Name: ‘Sisters Grimm’
Alias: ‘Grimm’, Jacob & Wilhelm
Alt. Classes: Caster, Gatekeeper, Berserker
Source: History/Fiction
Region: Germany, to an extent France
Character(s): “Our own Legend… doesn’t really matter much to us.” “It’s the people’s legends we’re here to immortalise.”
The German academics and folklorists who undertook a strenuous documentation and compilation of German folktales, aiming to preserve the collective imaginations of the German people amidst the advance of industrialisation. While they did not come up with any of their own stories, they’d be quick to tell you that would’ve gone against their intent, as archival and preservation of the people’s stories was their utmost priority.
It's possible fairy tales held a particular appeal for them beyond being the creations of the people. The Grimms in their own life were known for being vocally anti-authority, being two of the Gottingen Seven who stood against King Ernest Augustus, with fairy tales frequently showing wicked royals getting their just desserts. Not that the Grimms never succumbed to authority, their biggest regret being when public outcry forced them to alter their own collected tales.
Being summoned in the modern world, they are pleased to see that many of their tales are still well remembered… but are shocked and (appropriately for their Class) seething over their subsequent monopolisation and further alteration, a stinging reminder of how they themselves were forced to alter their own collected works. They also weirdly don’t get along much with other Servants, saying they prefer plucky folk heroes who represent the people over the more elite Heroic Spirits, though this of course can vary with said Spirit. They have however taken an interest in folk stories that have sprung up since, their time, like urban legends.*
For those who always saw themselves as against authority’s abuses, they are nothing but aghast to learn that their work was once championed by one of the most authoritarian regimes to ever exist, the Third Reich, who also took the Grimms’ populist sentiment and made it perverse. They’ve since tried to convince themselves that the Nazis championed their work only because they’d have championed anything sufficiently ‘German’, regardless of their collected tales’ actual content.
Attribute: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Like: The German people, story archival, folk heroes*
Dislike: Corrupt royals, bad parents, Heroic Spirits (hypocritically)*
Relationships
- Goethe: “Thank you for your work, but… you gave Faust a happy ending, not out of censorship, but your own free will?” “Well, always the Marlowe version.”
- C.S. Lewis: “Those are some rather kind words about fairy tales you have.” “Though even then you need to make it a Bible reference.”
- Kuzunoha: “Hmhm, write this down as an Animal Bride story.” “Careful, she doesn’t seem to like being reminded of that.”
- Dorothy: “An American fairy tale? My apologies, but I always saw the US as too young to have that much of an oral history.” “If that Baum of yours wanted an American fairy tale, why didn’t he ask the Natives? Oh, er, I see.”
- Jafar: “Your own tales don’t record you as a monster, but the people remember you as one anyway…” “Honestly, anyone who gets that wealthy got to be some kind of monster.”
- Ludwig II: “We may not be Bavarian subjects, but we can certainly see why you’re called the ‘King of Fairy Tales’.” “Just well, at least try to keep in touch with your own people.”
- Osamu Tezuka: “These are some… rather odd additions to folklore you’ve made.” “I quite like your Princess Sapphire though.”
- Captain Hook: “Well, maybe this represents a way for children to deal with parental anxiety.” “Parental anxiety? He’s waving a sword around...”
- Octobriana: “Well that’s an… interesting ideology you have.” “You fight for the people, that should be good enough.”
Master: Ideally someone who represent the ideal ‘folk hero’, being of the people, not too fortunate in life, and not blinded by power. Not that there are many Masters who fit all those criteria.
Natural Enemy: Ernest Augustus. Also, Walt Disney, but not for the reasons you’d think. It’s less for lightening fairy tales up, and more for his corporations’ attempts at monopolising the image of fairy tales, rather than letting that be decided by the people.
Wish: For no story to be left behind, to go lost and unpreserved in the public memory.

Class Skills
Avenger
Capacity to generate resentment in oneself and others, allowing for Mana recovery while attacking and being attacked.
Rank C: An unusual case in that Avenger, though not without their grievances, doesn’t personally seem vengeful at all. The reason for this Class is more due to the gruesome and retributive content of their stories, particularly with their punishments for villains and sometimes heroes, which they’ve become inseparable from due to Innocent Monster. Can assume power by absorbing hostility, particularly the hostility of the people.
Personal Skills
Appreciation of the Arts
Infatuation with works of art.
- Rank B+: If they spot any Noble Phantasm with literary anecdotes, there is a high chance they’ll be able to figure out its true name. Skill boosted for Phantasms with fairytale anecdotes.
Innocent Monster
One whose existence has a Servant has become altered by their historical reputation and rumours.
- Rank D+++: This appears to be a ‘Curse of the Readers’ situation where the written work has affected people’s perception of the writer. What’s unusual though is, unlike most instances of this, Avenger has welcomed and embraced this ‘Curse’, saying that these stories were always the real stars and not themselves, and were the people’s to begin with. This is part of what lets them appear as the princesses, princes, witches, and so on that they never were in life.
Grimm's Law
A rule of language covering how pronunciations change over time. Seems to have a role in altering Avenger's speech patterns.
Two As One
Existence as two Spirits functioning as the one Servant.
- Rank A-: The two Grimm Brothers are inseparable in the public imagination, unless maybe one is discussing Grimm’s Law, it is rare that one is mentioned without the other. A Minus is given as Hassenpflug and Viehmann, on the other hand, had a much less direct bond with each other, the two becoming linked mainly in conjunction with the Grimms.
Noble Phantasm
Ungluckliche Enden
Compilation of Cautionary Tales
Rank: E+-A+
Type: Anti-Unit
The Grimms’ fairy-tale compilations, Kinder- und Hausmarchen and Deutsch Sagen, manifest differently depending on the Class they’re summoned into. As (in the role of) Avenger, their Noble Phantasm takes the form of what may be the most infamous aspect of their collected tales: the villains’ punishments.
While fairy tales of old were largely darker and bloodier than their modern versions (Alice in Wonderland a rare exception), the exact reasons for this are often overlooked. Part of it was because times, especially for the peasants, were tougher in a less scientific world, but also because of a warped Christian desire to impose ‘good morals’ onto children through what nowadays would be called “scare’em straight” tactics, showing the wicked brutally punished. Avenger would argue a third take, an expression of the peoples’ wishes to see justice and vengeance delivered upon their seemingly untouchable rulers.
Avenger possesses a wide array of punishments both torturous and lethal, from a deadly dance in heated iron shoes, from doves plucking out people’s eyes, to being hacked open with an axe, to more obscure ones like one’s own soul being snuffed out. However, they can’t dispense punishments as they see fit, but nor is it an ‘eye for an eye’ situation here the punishment must meet the crime. Rather, the punishment depends on the Target’s ‘role’ in a story.
For example, the heated dance to death would be meted out on command to someone who with proof fits the ‘Evil Queen’ archetype, eyes being plucked out to the ‘Stepsister’ archetype, the axe to the ‘Big Bad Wolf’ (who here need not to be a literal wolf), and one’s soul being snuffed out to any ‘death defier’. This Noble Phantasm would also function similarly summoned as Gatekeeper, but with punishments doled out to potential heroes as ‘trials’ to overcome.

A/N: Didn't actually see jishara post the Big Bad Wolf above when I posted this sheet, I would've been still editing it. Figured the Grimms, while not super-Halloween-y, were still dark enough to fit
