Asmodeus

Asmodeus is a demon whose first appearance in Obey Me!'s Main Story was in Lesson 1-2, and whose first appearance in Nightbringer's Main Story was Lesson 1-1. He has six brothers, and as the fifth-most powerful of the seven, he holds the title of "fifth-born." He also possesses the title "Avatar of Lust" and is a representative of that sin. As one of the main characters in both Obey Me! and Nightbringer, he is included in both games' Intimacy system.
== Appearance ==
Asmodeus has short, champagne pink hair with an asymmetrical style, such that his bangs are much longer on his left side and reach past his ears. His skin is pale, and his eyes are a gradient of raspberry pink and lemon yellow. His nails are painted in an alternating pattern, and like Leviathan, Asmodeus is one of the only two demon brothers with varying nail colors. Most often his nails are raspberry pink and teal green, as shown in the majority of his outfits and in most of his card art. 
However, his nails are also sometimes lime green instead of teal. Examples of this color include the card art for many of his standard cards in Obey Me!, such as Guided by Desire and The Ghost Ship, as well as the event card Butler Room Service. His sprites for his RAD Uniform, his Demon Look, his Everyday Clothes, and his Butler Suit all portray him with lime green nails, as seen in cards like I'll Expose Everything!, Is That Sweat?! Gross!, and With a Touch Of Asmodeus!. 
The card With a Touch Of Asmodeus! also shows how his Arabian outfit manicure pattern differs from every other instance. Asmodeus's nails are typically symmetrical, with most of his card art and outfits reflecting the pattern shown in his nail polish reference sheet, even when the colors are different. However, his sprite for his Arabian outfit shows his right thumbnail being teal and his left thumbnail being pink, indicating that the alternating pattern continues across both hands. His full body sprite of his Arabian Outfit also shows how his toenails reflect the same deviation from his usual pattern.
As seen in the official height chart, Asmodeus is the second-shortest of the seven brothers, and is just barely taller than Mammon.
== Personality ==
Asmodeus is a demon that is very focused on his appearance, and can at times often come off as narcissistic. In Beelzebub's Devilgram, Unspoken Affection, the results of the D.D.D. app "Demon Brain Scan" are that 80% of Asmodeus's brain is taken up by "me." The other 20% is split evenly between "beauty" and "other." In the Devilgram Asmo, the Recluse?, Asmodeus explained that his fifth most favorite feature on his face is his ears, his fourth is his hair, and his third is his nose.
He's very proud of the way he looks, and is always putting in the effort to make sure he's at his most attractive at all times. According to the Right Before You Go to Bed chat, he always puts on a face mask right before he goes to bed. Asmodeus makes sure to do his research when it comes to beauty tips and methods, as he demonstrated in the Devilgram Return My Glow, when he told MC a technique for applying lotion that improves circulation.
To Asmodeus, an even better feeling than knowing he looks good, is to have his admirers telling him that he looks good. Asmodeus is very much an extrovert, and loves going to parties and clubs so much that he told Solomon in the Devilgram Guided by Desire that "going out at night to party, having romantic interludes, these are the very important rituals that make me who I am."
He also enjoys going to parties because he can be surrounded by his fans. He wants the people who adore him to keep doing so, and for him that means only showing others a positive, beautiful appearance and demeanor. In Asmodeus's phone call titled Your Voice, he told MC that if he were feeling sad, he wouldn't have called them, because that would be showing MC a "not-so-fabulous side of me if I did that." In Lesson 7-7 (OM), Simeon commented that he sees Asmodeus as someone who is "very attached to [his] reputation" and who works hard "trying to live up to it."
When it comes to beauty, Asmodeus is indeed a hard worker. Due to his notoriety as being both beautiful and fashionable, Asmodeus has often been asked by companies to design things like accessories, shoes, and clothing, as he told MC in Lesson 31-16 (OM). In return for his assistance, he's often given free products by the brands he works with. When designing a new series of cosmetics in the Devilgram Magic Compact, Asmodeus told MC that he'd been spending so much time thinking about cosmetics that he felt worn out, and hadn't had time for a break. He also mentioned that he'd handpicked both the photographer and designer for the collaboration poster, and took hundreds of photos before choosing the right one for it.
As the "Avatar of Lust," it's unsurprising that Asmodeus is a known flirt. Even in the middle of dangerous situations, such as in Lesson 7-14 (OM), he takes the time to try and persuade MC into telling him what "secret, shameful thoughts" they might be trying to hide. He is also known to frequently bring people back to his room, to the point that Lucifer warned him not to do so with a newly arrived Solomon in the Devilgram Proud Brothers.
Asmodeus also makes suggestions and flirtatious advances towards MC often, as seen in chats such as A Request from Asmo when he mentioned his back is sensitive, and touching it could make it "hard to hold back." In the chat I Could Use Some Company, he invited MC to come sleep in his bed, but warned them that he sleeps "au naturel."
Asmodeus typically gets along with his brothers, but because they don't share his dedication to beauty, fashion, and...himself, his brothers' actions can annoy him at times. An example of this is in Lesson 20 (OM), when Beelzebub ate a trendy sweet that Asmodeus had wanted to post on Devilgram.

== Powers and Abilities ==
Asmodeus is the fifth most powerful demon brother and the Avatar of Lust. All demons have the ability to manipulate or seduce humans, but Asmodeus possesses a particularly strong version of this ability, as explained by Satan in Lesson 11 (OM). Asmodeus is able to charm someone when they gaze into his eyes. However; as also mentioned in Lesson 11 (OM), certain humans with exceptional magical power are immune to this ability. This includes MC, as well as some other witches or sorcerers. Ghosts seem to also be immune to Asmodeus's charm, as seen in the Pop Quiz Conjuring of a White Christmas!.
In Lesson 8 (OM), it was shown that Asmodeus's charm also works on inanimate objects when he charmed a goddess statue, causing it to come to life. It was also shown that Asmodeus is able to charm animals, as he used his ability on Henry 1.0, who is a snake. Asmodeus communicated with Henry 1.0 after he charmed him, which may indicate that his ability grants him the power to communicate with animals.
In Lesson 34 (OM), Asmodeus seemed to demonstrate an ability to tell by scent if someone is feeling attraction towards him. When MC was looking at pictures of Asmodeus when he was still an angel, Asmodeus claimed that MC was emitting an aroma of attraction. Even if MC didn't feel certain about that, Asmodeus stated that there's no mistaking the scent.
