The Prime Minister of Majapahit, and Conqueror of Nusantara.
Much of Gajah Mada's past were shrouded in mystery. Some say Gajah Mada was the son of a village head near the Capital, and that he wanted to join Majapahit's mighty armed forces because he used to watch them march from a hill near his village. Others say that he was the son of a warlord from distant lands, sent to the island of Jawadwipa to prove his mettle. Whoever he was, Gajah Mada did what he has set out to do; At its zenith the empire of Majapahit stretches from Malaya to Irian, with the total area comparable to Macedonia at the time of Alexander the Great. One thing for sure, Gajah Mada's exploits would later be written as the first effort to unify the country that would long outlast his life: Indonesia.

Class: Archer
Master: ???

Parameters:
* Alignment: Lawful Good
* Noble Phantasm: B
* Strength: D+
* Endurance: C+
* Agility: B+
* Mana: C
* Luck: A


Class Skills:

* Independent Action A
(Archer-specific class skill)
This skill reflects the ability to remain independent even when rejecting the prana supply from the Master. At the higher ranks it is also possible to remain for extended periods of time in this world without an established contract.At this rank, Gajah Mada can remain in this world for a week even after losing his Master. However, to use Noble Phantasms of great prana consumption, backing from a Master is necessary.

* Magic Resistance C+
This skill grants protection against magical effects. Differently from the Resistance effect that merely rejects prana, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Important to note that the term "verse" seen below refers to a set of three lines. Thus, a chant of two verses is equivalent to a Six-Line incantation. At this level, Gajah Mada can cancel spells with a chant below two verses. However, at this rank it cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.


Personal Skills:

* Riding C
This skill reflects one's expertise to ride animals and vehicles. At this level, Gajah Mada can operate most vehicles with average skill. Riding the likes of Phantasm Races such as Demonic Beast and Holy Beast-rank creatures is right out the question.

* Charisma B-
This skill reflects the natural talent to command an army. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. A rare talent. At this level, Gajah Mada can rule a country efficiently. It receives a penalty because in his life Gajah Mada never took that opportunity, instead deferring to his kings despite his great abilities.

* Military Tactics A+
This skill reflects 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.

* Pioneer of The Stars N/A
This skill is the unique Skill given to heroes that became turning points in the human history. All difficult voyages and challenges which are considered "impossible" turn into "events that can be realized". Gajah Mada is awarded this skill due to his unification of Nusantara under Majapahit rule, thus starting a legacy that would later be known as Indonesia.


Noble Phantasm:

Cetbang [The Unifier of a Nation]
Anti-Unit/Anti-Army
Target: 1 (up to 100 if deployed as Anti-Army)
Rank: Varies between C- to B depending on size
The invention brought about to army-wide usage by Gajah Mada, swivel-mounted cannons which made the Majapahit army so effective. It comes in all shapes and sizes, from portable ones concealable on a person's garb to one-ton fortress-mounted monsters capable of ripping apart squads like wet towel. Gajah Mada can use all variants of this NP from the smallest to the largest, although he generally limits himself on using more manageable sizes. He can also equip any vehicle under influence of his Riding skill with this NP and operate both the gun and the vehicle, although he prefers someone else to drive.

Amukti Palapa [Unity Before My Worldly Pleasures]
Support
Target: Self
Rank: B
Gajah Mada's oath to abstain from worldly pleasures before his purpose is achieved. This Noble Phantasm restricts Gajah Mada's perception of pleasure and fulfillment, in exchange of boosts to his physical stats and personal skills (his - in Charisma is compensated, meaning the rank becomes a full B) except Pioneer of Stars. This chant could only take effect if Gajah Mada swore it before his Master and at least 10 non-hostile, willing subject whose free will is not subverted in any way. This vow lasts until Gajah Mada won the War or until he is slain, and ups his prana upkeep.

The chant to activate this Noble Phantasm is:

Lamun huwus kalah Nusantara
Ingsun amukti palapa!
Lamun kalah ring Pedang, ring Tumbak,
Telik Sandi, ring Amuk, ring Turangga,
Tuntutan Bela, ring Adipati, Asu, Partapa,
Samana ingsun amukti palapa!

It roughly translates to:

Before I conquered Nusantara
I abstain from worldly desires!
Until the fall of the Sword, the Spear,
The Spy, the dominion of Rage, the dominion of Horses,
Those who Seek Revenge, The Other Kings, The Dogs, Those who Wield Magic,
Then i shall savor the taste of desire again!

=======================
Kind of iffy giving an Archer Riding, but he is a good seaman who sails around what is now Indonesia with the troops, so it has got to count for something.
