**Misaya Myat** is a minor character in *Challenge of The Shadows*. Living in the North Desolates of Azuren, he runs the Luckyside Tavern that situates on top of a steep landslide who often serves his customers without charge. Despite living in a damp mountainous climate, he does not have any problem with being alone or by himself.

Later on, Misaya is revealed to be a mist shard user, having a mist shard implemented on his chest and hidden under his scarves. Because of the power the shard possessed, Misaya refused to give up his shard when Team Strelitzia approached him and requested he'd give up his shard in order to reunite the Demon Gems, resulting in Misaya becoming defensive in getting into a fight with them.

## History

Little is known about Misaya's past, as he never seems to bring up much of his origins, let alone where he had first came from. He does not have recollection of who his parents were and how he had been brought to the Desolates, but it is implied he never had parents, but was created by an unknown source that had mixed with ghost magic. Misaya is a primordial demon that wandered Azuren for over thousands of years without aging, capturing many people and turning them into his arms that spawn out of his back by absorbing their souls for amusement, causing his arms to have mouths. Due to this, he can only see and hear his arms unless he snaps his fingers to make them visible and hearable.

During his time in Azuren and roaming the world as a whole, Misaya settled in a steep landslide in the Northern Desolates, full of resources and much of what he needed and started the Luckyside Tavern, both rendering as a place to work and live in without having to pay for anything, happily working while being resistant to those trying to pay him due to him not wanting to take anyone's money, but sometimes accepts it in order to save it to someday visit one of the Five Kingdoms. During the group's time in the Desolates, they had stopped by to have something to eat and drink before going back to their current mission after the desolates resources were slowly starting to deplet.

According to Yuna, Misaya is a ghost demon, a rare and unique type of demon that has the ability of eternal youth and being incapable of dying, something that is uncommon in many demon species who are able to live for long amounts of time, but are not entirely immune to death. His abilities are described to be as dangerous as a shadow demons when their abilities are awakened fully.

### Northern Desolates arc

Misaya hears a knock on his door and goes to open it, seeing Team Strelitzia soaked from the rain and exhausted from walking. He welcomes them warmly, but is still in shock they were soaked, slumping onto the table and sitting down. Misaya asks if they were alright, where Shay signs to him sloppily, saying that the wind had blown down their tent and they needed to find a place to dry up. Misaya allows them to rest before asking

## Appearance

Misaya is a tall man of both Burmese and Filipino descent with somewhat gray skin and ghostly white eyes that were able to terrify any individual with only one stare, but is described as "fascinating" by people who have met him. He has long, gray hair tied in a braid, although when let down it reaches his shoulders. Underneath his left eye is one beauty mark and on the sides of his head are two, off-hued blue horns with light blue arms that spawn out of his back. Each one of his arms have dark blue mouths with teeth shaped like needles.

Misaya dons a more casual outfit than the rest of the characters in the series. Around his neck, he wears a light blue scarf with layers that stick down from his shoulders and a cool blue turtleneck with darker blue ending sleeves. Misaya also sports light gray sweatpants and dark blue combat boots. Under his scarf is a mist shard that is attached to the middle of his neck.

In his ghost form, his body shifts into a white, translucent body with multiple arms and holes as eyes. On his neck are a mountain of tinted purple flowers. In a smaller variant, however, he looks similar to Veena's spirit form and uses this to enact as her.

## Personality

Little is known about Misaya's personality. Though, in many scenes, he is depicted as rather polite and calm when working his job at the Luckyside Tavern, usually serving food and drinks with a smile on his face while resisting the offer of being paid when customers offer to due to him having all the resources he needs. He, in a sense, lives rent free, not having to pay any bills or having to make salary to make ends meet with a hatred of relying on others for money because he does not want to be portrayed as greedy or a user, and seems to be more reliant on the environment around him rather than being reliant on money. Due to his charming demeanor, he manages to attract customers with ease because of the way he sets up his environment in the tavern he owns.

Misaya has demonstrated to be an expert when it comes to bartending, being able to mix up certain drinks to concoct something new, similar to that of making potions while having the capability to cook good food according to many who have been to his tavern. Due to being a self-made individual, he has little to no difficulty surviving in extreme conditions, since he cannot die or age by any means and was able to survive many diseases that were seen as deadly because of being a ghost demon. Misaya has also shown to be generous and rather hospitable, allowing Locaster and the group inside of his tavern when it was raining heavily and even allowing them to stay in a spare room for a while until the rain will stop.

He demonstrates that he sees himself as a god because of his eternal youth because of his immortality, but he has been shown to act agitated when his arms begin to argue with one another, usually saying "Tumahimik ka" (lit. "be quiet" in filipino) to silence them in order to not deal with their antics. Being the sole controller of his arms, he has been described to have fluid movements when using his abilities. To many villagers, Misaya is portrayed as rather majestic and beautiful because of his youthful appearance, being able to captivate those with just a stare to the eyes and his friendly tone in voice. Due to his open mind, Misaya can express his opinions freely without any consequence or fear of being persecuted by any officials due to the place he lives in.

Even though he is rather friendly on the surface when working at his tavern, Misaya is a rather cold and distant individual and shows little to no attachment for those around him. He shows no interest in those around him and demonstrates to get easily bored or unmotivated in less than a minute: He can come off as prudent to those he generally dislikes, and often gives rude glares to them. Misaya is a very boastful individual, often bragging at times on how he can live forever while Locaster can only live for a short time and get killed, nearly crushing his bones with his ghost arms as they attempted to take his shard back.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** Despite appearing harmless on the surface as a mere bartender, Misaya has been shown to be a very powerful, yet dangerous demon. Even though he can turn into a seemingly harmless ghost to pose as a spirit from the spirit world, he was able to possess many people and take their soles with ease in order to transform them into one of his many arms he has by using deception and posing as someone rather innocent and eager only to fully take advantage of them in the end by gaining their trust and taking their souls to turn them into one of his many arms.

Due to having multiple arms not being viewable or hearable to the public eye unless he snaps his fingers, he is able to snatch and steal people without getting caught, further exemplifying his powers. He was able to easily have Ashton in a chokehold position without difficulty by using his arms to grab his throat and torso, despite him being an extremely skilled mercenary, and was able to bypass Shizuka's ability of mind manipulation by nearly crushing her left arm when doing so and almost crushing her body into shrubs.

**Apathy:** Though, not entirely emotionless, Misaya has demonstrated to be somewhat apathetic. He is incapable of feeling emotions like grief and sadness, but uses this to his advantage by being able to calmly process any situation without much panic and remains in the same mental state after doing so. Due to his apathy, Misaya finds it more than helpful allows him to come up with a solution easily without having to stress out or start crying. Due to this, he was able to kill many demon hunters that were in an attempt to kill him. Though, he is still able to express other emotions as he is not completely apathetic, such as being delighted whenever he gets customers at his tavern.

**Immense Speed & Reflexes:** As a demon, Misaya has demonstrated to be very fast and extremely quick on his feet. Unlike most demons, he is able to enhance his speed through his arms by extending them and jumping from one place to the next without having to use his legs. According to Ashton, Misaya was able to catch up to him, even though he was going at a rather slow pace. Misaya is fast enough to outrun many common demon species, including Veena, who has demonstrated to be an extremely fast runner despite not being a demon. Due to his speed and his boost via his arms, he was able to catch many demon hunters without having to fight them hand-to-hand or face-to-face.

His reflexes are equally as fast and managed to avoid getting hit by a falling tree, along with being able to evade Hikages shadow vines she had sent after him.

**Immense Strength:** Misaya has shown to possess an incredible amount of strength, throwing Shizuka off of him in merely a minute and kicking Locaster into a tree effortlessly. His strength is also exemplified when he went head on with Yuna, nearly fracturing her wrist when she was about to inject poison in him to hinder his abilities.

**Unlimited Stamina & Endurance:** Misaya has shown to have unlimited stamina and endurance, having a higher level than Damion, a founding demon himself and Hideko, one of the strongest mercenaries in his village. He had managed to remain in the same mental state and bodily shape he was in the moment he starts to engage in combat. Misaya is also able to resist damage from natural disasters because of his ghostly abilities.

**Keen Intellect:** Being alive for over thousands of years, Misaya is an intelligent and very knowledgable individual, having knowledge about every demon specie and power that can assist him in evading attacks and getting away with his misdeeds.

**Regeneration:** As a ghost demon, Misaya has the rare ability to regenerate any body part of his that has been lost, including his ghost arms. He was able to regrow his arm after Ashton had sliced it off and his leg when Damion had teared it off. Even though he can regrow his ghost arms back, they come back slightly weaker than it was before. His regeneration abilities are slightly faster than Ashton and Locaster's due to him being mixed with a ghost and is one of the only characters who can regenerate without overusing.

**Multi-lingual:** Misaya has demonstrated that he can speak Burmese, Filipino, and English. This is seen when he says "Salamat po," a polite way of saying thank you in Filipino to Shay when he compliments his tavern, and speaks mostly Filipino, as Burmese is one of his more harder languages to speak.

## Magic Abilities

**Ghost Arms:** Misaya has a multitude of light blue ghost arms that can extend endlessly without any stop. He is able to control and manipulate them to his extent. Being able to control his arms, they contain extreme strength that was nearly enough to crack all of Ashton's bones. His arms are ultimately much stronger than Damion, a Founding Demon and former Lieutenant Colonel. Misaya can also control the visibility of his arms, making them hidden so he can only see and hear them due to their ability to speak. Though, when he snaps his fingers, he is able to make his arms revealed to the people around him.

**Soul Transfer:** Misaya has demonstrated that he can take the soul's of people without difficulty by putting his thumb onto someones forehead and taking away their soul's so they can become one of his arms. As he is able to take soul's, it will add onto his lifespan. Misaya can also give life back by returning their souls to their original body, though he can only use this spell once every a thousand years and chooses to not use it.

**Ghost Form:** Being part ghost, Misaya is able to transform into a ghost in order to remain invisible or to go inside of another being and control them, whether it'd be facial expressions, bodily movements or speech. With his ghost form, he becomes transparent and is able to fly through doors, windows and restraints, similar to Veena's spirit form.

## Weaknesses

**Overuse:** Like all demon's Misaya's main weak point is overusing his magic. His symptoms are a mix of both glitching and fatigue. He will start to glitch from his ghost form and his regular self, and his arms will start to become out of control, along with also becoming rather tired. If he overuses his magic to a certain extent, it will cause him to cough up alarming amounts of blood.

**Lavender:** Misaya has demonstrated to have an extreme allergy towards lavender. When nearly possessing Locaster, he managed to consume Lavender in time in order to quickly shoo him away. As he is allergic, his reactions can range from typical allergy symptoms to his powers glitching.

## Relationships

### Team Strelitzia

When the team had found the tavern, Misaya allowed them inside and was incredibly hospitable towards them, offering them food, shelter and water. It is noted by Locaster he was "oddly polite" and he perceived them in the same light. He found their company to be a delight because of his lack of customers due to his geographic location. He perceived them as joyous and easy to serve without any problems at all.

However, after he was requested to lend over his shard, his perception changed and saw them all as a threat, thus resulting him in fighting the team who attempted to take his shard peacefully, nearly killing three members in the process.
