Vairocana (Shin Megami Tensei)

==Summary==
Vairocana is the supreme cosmic principle of Vajrayana Buddhism, and the primordial Buddha who exists eternally beyond the world, naturally abiding beyond the illusory wheel of Samsara and serving as the original body of all other Boddhisatvas, who orbit him constantly as he meditates upon a lotus flower, as well as the primal essence that rests at the core of all things and acts as the pillar sustaining all, equal to a being's innate Buddha nature, thus making him a similar concept to the Brahman of Hinduism. However, he is also associated with Virochana, the Great King of the Asuras, who exists as an aspect of himself, and is said to be the guise that Vairocana assumes when acting as a war god.
The truth of Vairocana's relationship to the phenomenal universe is represented by the Ryokai mandala, or the Mandala of the Two Realms, in which he is depicted as sitting at the center of two spheres of existence: The Diamond Realm, the pristine state which represents the world of ideas, where the Buddha abide in pure oneness and the originals of all things reside in a state of abstraction, still being nothing but thoughts emanated from Vairocana's meditation, and the Womb Realm, representative of the material, relative world, where the truth of the absolute is concealed and the ideas in the Diamond Realm are turned into reality.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Almighty Attacks: The highest class of spells in the Megami Tensei franchise, consisting largely of powerful non-elemental attacks that have the special property of completely bypassing any resistances or immunities that a target may possess, be them innate or magically enforced, the latter of which including anything from reflective barriers to items that distort the very laws of the universe in order to protect the user from all forms of damage, and they are likewise unable to blocked, dodged, drained or generally avoided.
* Megidolaon: A powerful Almighty attack that hits over a wide area, tapping into "the pale light of divinity" which reigns over destruction itself in order to engulf all opponents into "the total annihilation beyond death."
* Magic Seal: Seals away all of an opponent's magical abilities.
Buffs and Debuffs: A set of skills that, as the name implies, allows the caster to greatly amplify their own physical attributes and reduce that of their foes, thus allowing one to stand up to much stronger opponents by closing or even reversing the gap in power between them. Outside of gameplay limitations, they can be stacked indefinitely, and sufficient usages of buffs allow the caster to survive attacks that would otherwise obliterate them with only minor injuries and amplify their speed to the point of completely outspeeding opponents that could previously predict all of their movements, while debuffs have a directly proportional effect on the enemy's statistics.
* Tarukaja: Increases the attack power of all party members by one rank.
* Rakukaja: Increases the defensive abilities of all party members by one rank.
* Dekaja: Removes all statistics amplifications from all foes.
