Name: Indrajit

Title(s): Meghanada, Conqueror of the Heavens

Class: Rider

Gender: Male

Attribute: Sky

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Personality: His voice can be as tranquil as a calm breeze, or as turbulent as a mighty storm. A dutiful son and an honorable warrior painted with the reputation of a villain due to his demonic allegiances. To his Master as well as those he has warmed up to, he is a kind soul, happy to provide his aide wherever it is needed. However, one should not underestimate his kindness as weakness, as his demonic heritage throbs at his very being, a monstrous rage threatening to be released upon those who wrong him or his kin. To the enemies of his Master, he is a merciless demon, using any means necessary to grant his allied camp victory. 

Objective for the Grail: To serve his Master well.

Biography: Demon Prince of Lanka and the most powerful son of the Rakshasa king Ravana, born to be the ultimate warrior by the desires of his father. At birth, he was named "Thunderous Lord of Sky", foreshadowing his future feats of arms. At a very young age, he had mastered the use of weaponry to the extent of obtaining the divine weapons, or Astras. These skills were made fully apparent during Ravana's battle against the Devas, as it was Meghanada who defeated every Deva along with their king, Indra, tying the god to his chariot as a trophy of his victory. It was through this feat that Lord Brahma named the prince "Indrajit", Conqueror of Indra.

Indrajit continued to serve his father without question, easily besting the great heroes Rama and Lakshmana in multiple occasions and bringing them to near defeat many times in battle. However, even Indrajit knew that this war with Rama would only lead to his father's ruin, and pleaded with him to surrender only for his pleas to fall on deaf ears. Enraged at Ravana's madness but still ever loyal to the command of his father, he marched forward to battle, knowing that he would meet his end enacting his father's will. Despite knowing that his death would be inevitable, Indrajit bears no grudges against his enemies, and has made peace with the outcome of his last battle.

Weapons: Armed with various high-class armaments such as swords, spears, maces, and most notably his personal bow. Many of Indrajit's other weapons are contained within his Amaravati Vimana Noble Phantasm.

Parameters:

STR: B

END: B

AGI: A+

MGI: B

LCK: D

Class Skills: 

Magic Resistance: B
Class skill of the Rider class. Possesses a high level of Magic Resistance, second only to the Knight Classes. Nullifies spells of three bars or less, and even High Thaumaturgy and Grand Rituals have difficulty affecting the Servant. Furthermore, as one who is also an expert at magical warfare, Indrajit is knowledgeable in countless methods to counter enemy magi.

Riding: EX
Class skill of the Rider class. At this level, anything, even the gods, could be utilized as a mount. Indrajit's ability to ride the King of the Devas as a suitable mount goes above and beyond the limits of the skill.

Personal Skills:

Monstrous Strength: A+
Temporarily grants a rank-up to Strength in accordance to the skill's rank. As the son of the Demonic King Ravana as well as being a Rakshasa himself, Indrajit possesses this skill at an extremely high rank. Furthermore, this skill shows full effectiveness within the cover of darkness, when the enemies' fears can more easily be fed upon. However, the longer Indrajit is under the influence of this skill, the more he becomes like a Rakshasa, descending to a bestial rage.

Body of Lightning: A
The unique condition of Indrajit's body, further enhanced by his conquest of the King of the Heavens. In battle, Indrajit is described to be able to move like a bolt of lightning, darting across the sky in an instant. Functionally, it is a skill that facilitates the use of high-speed movements comparable to that of lightning itself. Additionally, a limited form of "Prana Burst (Lightning)" can be utilized, with the very lightning surging through Indrajit's body painting his every attack.

Mantra Incantation (Warfare): B+
The knowledge and usage of incantations (mantras) utilized in sacred Hindu magical arts applied to the art of warfare. Indrajit possessed supreme magical power, and was hailed as an expert in the fields of magical warfare, sorcery, and tantra. Furthermore, Indrajit specializes in the use of Maya (illusionism), and is capable of feats such as concealing himself and projecting false images that were capable of fooling even Rama and Lakshmana.

Eternal Arms Mastery: A+
Denotes the possession of superior combat arts incapable of degradation from mental interference. Hailed as the sole mortal member of the Atimaharathi caste and possessing mastery over many celestial weapons, Indrajit's skill at arms easily rank among the best in Ancient Indian myth. Even if Indrajit were to lose himself to his thick demonic blood, his martial prowess will remain.

Noble Phantasm:

Name: Nagapasha

Title: Insidious Net of One Million Serpents

Rank: B+

NP Type: Anti-Unit

Range: 3 ~ 9

Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Among the countless celestial weapons that Indrajit has in his arsenal, none are more nefarious than the Nagapasha. One of the celestial weapons of the Nagas, a race of serpent-like beings, the Nagapasha is the trap the brought low the heroes Rama and Lakshmana, and would have ended up killing the brothers if not for the intervention of Hanuman. In comparison to the Brahmastra, which could be considered a devastating "nuclear weapon", the Nagapasha is hailed as a potent "biological killer", and as such served as Indrajit's weapon of choice for decisively ending battles by taking out key targets.

The Nagapasha is unleashed by taking the appearance of a vicious giant serpent lunging its fangs at the target, although Indrajit is capable of disguising its appearance when need be. Once the target is struck, they would find a million snakes raining down upon them at an instant, wrapping around the target's body while venomous fangs sinking into every inch of their exposed flesh. Ignoring armors that are worn over the body, the snake venom burrows its way to the target's flesh, administering its deadly poison from within. Brought forth from serpents handpicked from the strongest among Naga-kind and further enhanced by the dark sorcery of Indrajit, the poison burns and melts away at the target's flesh slowly and painfully. The target is left incapacitated as poison damage is continuously applied in proportion to one's Endurance until not a single trace of their existence remained. The poison is especially effective towards other heroes of Hindu origin, sporting similar properties to the Hydra venom of Ancient Greece.

Due to the predictability of such an attack, Indrajit must rely on deploying it in a matter where his opponents would not be able to defend against it. Normally this is done by either overwhelming his opponent with his superior endurance, or releasing this Noble Phantasm under the guise of his illusions. After all, Indrajit was only able to entrap the heroes Rama and Lakshmana by employing both tactics against them. However, once this difficulty has been overcome, the target would instantly find themselves incapacitated by the poison, having no way to break free without the intervention of another, and even then the poison would continue to eat away at their very being if proper first aide is not performed. Of course, formidable beings capable of resisting the poison's effects would simply need to break free from being tethered from a net of a million monstrous snakes, a feat in its own right.

Name: Brahmastra Meghnad

Title: O Brahma, Paint The Heavens

Rank: A+

NP Type: Anti-Fortress

Range: 2 ~ 90

Maximum Number of Targets: 450

Brahmastra, the divine weapon of Lord Brahma, said to pursue the enemy by means of a wide-range attack and annihilating them. Under normal circumstances, Indrajit would infuse the energy of this weapon within his bow and arrows, or even his chariot, crashing into his opponents and wiping them out with ease. However, Indrajit has adopted a far more destructive matter of using such an already powerful weapon, almost similar in application to a certain other hero of Indian myth's intimidating glare. When Indrajit was born, he was first given the name "Meghanada" due to his birth cry, which resembled the striking of thunder. As such, Indrajit's preferred method of unleashing this weapon is through his mouth, stating that "a true demon kills with a roar."

By infusing Brahmastra with the lightning borne from his body, Indrajit releases the attack through his mouth, invoking the astra with his own thunderous voice. Rather than being compared to a nuclear weapon in destructive power, Brahmastra Meghnad could more easily be described as the wrath of the Heavens themselves, a disastrous focused thunderbolt from the gods striking down all who oppose them in its path. As a monstrous lightning-infused roar, some could even say it is comparable to the destructive breath of dragon-kind, a similarity that Indrajit takes pride in as a testament to his strength among the strongest members of the Phantasmal Species. Also, Indrajit can release this attack in a smaller-scale, more limited fashion by lowering his voice into a normal speaking tone, believing this to be a proper response when asked to use his "inside voice".

Name: Amaravati Vimana

Title: Heavenly Palace of the Lord of Skies

Rank: A++

NP Type: Fortress

Range: 1 ~ 99

Maximum Number of Targets: 800

The celestial chariot of Indrajit, named after the sacred city of Lord Indra contained within his realm. As an ancient Vimana in described in both the Ramayana and Mahabharata, it is more appropriate to call it a "flying palace" than a chariot, and indeed its imposing size would cause one to believe that such a cumbersome flying contraption would better serve as a stationary fortress than a mount, especially in the air. However, such claims are easily proven false, as in truth the Vimana is a high-tech Indian Noble Phantasm that moves at the speed of the controller's thought. According to the technical guide Vaimanika Shastra, which follows descriptions written about the Xth century BCE Vimana, the Vimana can fly in a zigzag motion, deploy its wings to go at high speed, has emergency evasion techniques to avoid crashing into another Vimana, has an optic camouflage, stealth functions, can intercept communication, etc. It also includes descriptions for the use of laser beams and biological weapons, and within it also contains advanced weaponry such as ancient machine guns and different forms of artillery. A technological wonder, its "true" power lies within the modifications made to it.

After defeating the Devas, Indrajit tied their king, Indra, onto his chariot as a trophy for his father. The feat of "conquering the King of Heaven" has been crystallized within Indrajit's chariot. The Authority of Indra has been bound to the Vimana, and its appearance has changed to resemble a throne worthy for the King of the Gods. The vast assortment of weapons contained within the Vimana have been painted with the attribute of "lightning", a manifestation of the god's power, and by invocation of a mantra, a wide-scale destructive laser beam resembling the God of Thunder's signature weapon (Vajra) is fired. A true symbol of Indrajit's strength over the Devas, some would say this fortress resembles the Thunder God's personal throne. Also, the upkeep of maintaining such a fortress is surprisingly moderate for a Noble Phantasm of this scale so long as Indrajit remains in his throne, powered by the lightning surging from his body.

Michael Ongi
Tsushima Diver Services, Main Lobby

Michael grinned as he watched the boy stand up, optimistic that his sick plan to take advantage of a desperate youth had worked! Before he heard the details however, his attention was quickly turned to another young Diver charging her way over. While Michael would have bared his teeth at such an offer, he was honestly too taken aback by the young Knight-Errant's comical display to really protest her offer of help. Woah, people like this really exist? Michael thought to himself, scrutinizing her intently as she made her apology. The sound of laughter from nearby quickly broke his train of thought however, and before Michael could fathom the source of it, the boy had continued to explain what this job was about.

"A five-man job, huh?" Michael muttered as the boy introduced himself as Hyun-jin. Between the kid and the honorable knightess, Michael was sure he'd be able to make a good enough profit, and wasn't too worried about competing for credits just yet. "Eh, it wouldn't hurt to find anoth-"

Twenty five thousand credits?! A cut from that is more than enough to... well, Michael knew at this point that such a high pay wouldn't completely pay off his debt, but it would have certainly kept the loan sharks satisfied for a while. He wouldn't have to worry about being bothered for a while! The catch, however, was quite hefty... The Night City Gate was quite the infamous gate, and one Michael had avoided to the best of his ability throughout his lengthy career. Unlike his late father, Michael was not one to gamble when the stakes are too high, especially when the stakes involved his life. The highest he's ever gone was a 6, and that was with a whole raid of Divers. Now it's a three-man squad for a five-man job... gears started turning in Michael's head as he began to think of just how he'd come out of this with his life intact.

Before his body could betray his thoughts of unease, another grandiose entrance had occurred in the lobby, this time of some sleaze getting a bit too handsy with a young girl, and paying the price for it. Michael couldn't help but shake his head at the scene, watching the suit from Driver Services professionally take care of the issue.

"Huh... bad luck to run into an investigator doing something like that, eh? Wonder how much Diver Services pay their rent-a-cops..." Michael uttered, under his breath, before Hyun-jin quickly got his attention back.

"Guess it's best to spill what we all can offer to the table before we commit, eh? The name's Michael Ongi, but just call me Michael. I've been in the business for about ten years now, and I know my way around a dive. I'm a swordsman... and I can tell you for certain that there isn't anything in this world or any other world that my sword can't cut."

That line, calling himself a 'swordsman' and boasting about his blade... it was something he'd use every single time to introduce himself to his potential colleagues with a sense of confidence he still isn't sure he has. No matter how many times he'd utter those tired old words, however, he still didn't believe in them, himself. He was no swordsman, he just had a photographic memory and a good sense of what to cut, enhanced further by his AEGIS. His Cross Gear wasn't something very impressive to boast about either, at least if it wasn't in Michael's hands. As far as Michael would know, his status as a 'swordsman' was all a long con. 

It was a good thing his allies didn't need to know about that.

"I'm still in, but I'd prefer if we meet the required number before we took the dive, yeah?" Michael begrudgingly stated, knowing that finding more people would lower his cut even more. "But first off... are either of you Holders? A group of Divers could only get so far, especially in Night City... it'd be nice to have that bit of otherworldly finesse to help us out."
