Yasha

==Summary==
Yasha (夜叉, Yasha)  is a demigod and a member of the Seven Deities, the highest hierarchy within the Shinkoku empire. Yasha betrayed his fraternal friend Asura in the name of his ideals.
Believing that only Deus's iron fist could rid the world of the malicious Gohmas, Yasha shut off his emotions and watched as Asura and his wife Durga were murdered and had their daughter enslaved. For thousands of years Yasha contributed in the oppression of humans and the harnessing of their souls. While torn by such sins, he convinced himself that the higher sake was worth the cost.
After witnessing the unscrupolous waste of life his fellow demigods were willing to commit in order to destroy Asura, Yasha decided to finally change his ways and join forces with him against the many threats that stood between them and the salvation of the world.
His Mantra Affinity is Melancholy.

Has been a rival to Asura since the time they were rookies, and has fought both together and against him several times; the two have shown masterful coordination in battle, a skill prominently displayed during their clash with Deus, Vlitra and Chakravartin. Figured out that giving the Karma Fortress's Mantra Reactor to Asura was the key to let him defeat Chakravartin.
