Demon/Shadow Weapon's Name: Maahes
Demon/Shadow's Arcana: Tower
Demon/Shadow Weapon Appearance: Maahes looked like this before it was bound to Asano:
- Maahes Before:
Now, however, it is a core with a diameter of about 6 inches mainly that is blood-red and embedded within Asano’s stomach.
Demon/Shadow Weapon Personality: Maahes is, for the most part, like an old warrior: gruff, noble, and experienced. He sees Asano as someone who he doesn't mind being with, and admires the boy’s work (as he puts it “A warrior’s weapon is a warrior’s life.”). He also approves of the boy’s swordsmanship, seeing swords as “knives with really long blades.” However, Maahes is always willing to pick a fight, only very reluctantly backing down when it absolutely must. He does not like having to take prisoners either, be they demon or human. Because as he puts it, “A worthy death is on the battlefield,not rotting in a cell.” He also is highly arrogant, a trait that rubbed off on Asano.
Demon/Shadow Weapon Background: Maahes was an ancient Egyptian lion-headed god of war, whose name means "he who is true beside her". He was seen as the son of the Creator god Ptah, as well as the feline goddess (Bast in Lower Egypt or Sekhmet in Upper Egypt) whose nature he shared. Maahes was a deity associated with war, lions,protection, and weather, as well as that of knives, lotuses, and devouring captives. Maahes was, amongst the demons they found, one of the only ones capable of bonding with Asano, and Asano took to it with near-perfect levels of compatibility (which they needed to have for such a important operation.)
Strengths: Slash, Fire (What type of attacks is your Demon/Shadow Weapon strong against? This is specifically for Elemental and Physical based skills. Damage from these attacks are reduced by half. You can have up to two strengths.)
Weaknesses: Gun, Ice (What element/physical-based skills is it weak against? Must have at least one unless your Arcana says otherwise. Should have an equal amount of strengths your Weapon has. Damage from these specific types of attacks are twice as effective and will cause your character to stagger their next post.)
Passive Boosts: Tower: Users have a latent 15% boost in damage resistance against physical-based skills and a 15% boost to their Ppstr stat. (This can be found on the Arcana Sheet found
here. It should match up to the Arcana the character holds.)

Appearance while in Last Life: It does change into this:
- Last Life Mode:
In this state, his face has taken on a lion-like appearance, and he has gained full-on armor. Here, the voice is a mix of Maahes and Asano, and both act in full synch to deal damage like nothing else. Asano does this when he needs absolute savage power like the kind of Maahes's glory days.
