**Meowlin**, also known as **The Demon God** (**Majin** in Japanese), is a cat-like deity with a humanoid body who is owner of the Mystic Mansion and Mystic Islands in their respective games. He is Purrcy's boss and is the one who invites The Player to help restore the mansion and islands to their former glory.

He is the main character and mascot of both *Just Kill Me* games and is the God of Destruction of the *Just Kill Me* universe. Meowlin/The Demon God, alongside Purrcy/Innocent, is also one of the two mascots of the games' company, Fundoshi Parade.

It is also revealed in the original *Just Kill Me.* game that he is the "father" or creator of Innocent, specifically, a mutated byproduct of the Demon God's DNA as an accidental result of the latter's mass production.

## Appearance

Meowlin, like his "son", Purrcy, is a cat-like deity with white fur and pointed ears. He has a tall humanoid body with somewhat detailed extremeties - arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, and toes. He has a small and simple face consisting of two dots for eyes and a triangular mouth.

In the *Mystic Islands* game, he wears a tattered black hooded cape reminiscent of the one Demon God 53 wears.

Similar to Purrcy, there is not much of a difference of his overall design between the the *Just Kill Me* and *Mystic* games except for the color of his character lineart, dark brown in the *Just Kill Me* games and brown for the *Mystic* games.

## Personality

Meowlin can be described as calculating, secretive, mischievous, and sinister, while also being a masosadist. He likes to lure the player into his mind games by targeting their curiosity with his philosophical questions and sayings while also revealing bits of his and the Demiurge's past.

Despite all this, he somewhat grows attached to the player as a form of company, considering how he has been imprisoned with just all the other copies of himself in a dark void until the appearance of the player, and later on, the "birth" of his son, Innocent.

In the *Mystic* games, he takes a back seat and becomes more of a silent observer who always seems like he is planning something sinister. Like in the *Just Kill Me* games, he likes to string the player along while promising to reveal more about their situation and the mansion/islands for every room/island they fix.

## Abilities

### Natural Abilities

* **Demonic Power** - As the Demon God, he has the ability to control magic with demonic effects.
	+ **Power of Destruction** - As the God of Destruction, he is shown to have the ability to destroy anything using magic. This specific feat of his is shown as a purple fireball he can control with his hand.
* **Charisma** - As the Demon God, he is seemingly able to befriend the player, who was sent to kill him, and even get them to become his ally. As Meowlin, he is able to persuade the player into working for him in both the *Mystic* games.
* **Enhanced Endurance** - Despite being infected by Troy, he held on long enough to instruct the player of what to do next, and of the invader's antics.
* **Energy Production** - Demon God 14 reveals that he and the rest of his copies do not necessarily need to eat food, as their bodies have the capability to produce the energy they need for survival.
* **Wide Intellect** - He is able to counter Demiurge's psychological manipulative hold on the player and snap them out of it in the *Just Kill Me* games. Additionally, he has a habit of spouting philosophical sayings every now and then as the Demon God.

### Skillset

* **Hot Air Balloon-piloting** - In the minigame, Purrcy and The Balloon, he is shown to be able to pilot a hot air balloon as Meowlin.
* **Business Savvy** - As the owner of the Mystic Mansion and/or Mystic Islands, he was able to get numerous clients to live/rent out the mansion's rooms/vacant islands.
* **Cooking** - During the Chomper's Room chapter, he mumbles about making himself an omelet.

### Unique Abilities

* **Mitosis** - As the Demon God, he is shown to have the ability to make exact copies of himself, all sharing a singular mind.
	+ **Mutant Mitosis** - As a result of him multiplying too fast, Innocent was the sole, albeit accidental, mutation out of his thousands of clones.
* **Telekinesis** - He is able to communicate with the player through his mind powers.
* **Object Transformation** - In the game mechanic "The Power of Meowlin exclusive to *Mystic Islands*, he can summon the very thing that kills him and transforms them into Support Items.
* **Object Materialization** - He is shown to be able to summon objects seemingly out of thin air, with examples including a singular Tama, Medjed, and a bottle of lotion.
	+ **Pet-summoning**
	+ **Tama-summoning**
	+ **Artifact-summoning**
* **Power of Creation** - Ironic to his role as the God of Destruction, he has made at least a handful of creations, some of which are, arguably, more helpful than others.
	+ **Creation of Black Holes**
	+ **Creation of Apoptosis**
	+ **Creation of Humans**
* **Electrokinesis** - Demon God 59 has demonstrated his ability to manipulate electrical appliances, in this case, the player's phone, when he momentarily drained its battery before charging it back immediately.
* **Queromancy** - Demon God 63 reveals he has the ability to sense the presence of people lingering within his vicinity. Although, this is revealed to have its limitations, as he admits he could only ever pinpoint the remaining ten copies of himself, the player, and Innocent, while saying he could also feel The Invader's essence but can't seem to detect its whereabouts.
* **Extraction** - The Demon God is able to extract Troy from within his own body while suspending it temporarily, long enough for the player to defeat it.

## Trivia

### General

* His English name, Meowlin, might be a nod to the name "Merlin" and the word "meow".
	+ His Japanese name, Majin, literally means "Demon God". It can also mean "Genie".
		- The alternate meaning of his transliterated Japanese name, "Genie", is also referenced in the Lamp of Demon God artifact.
	+ The general meaning behind the name "Merlin" translates to "sea fortress", whereas "Merlin" is also a name of a mage prominent to the *Legend of King Arthur*.
		- This might also be a reference to Meowlin's abilities as the Demon God.
* He and Purrcy are also the only characters to have in-game objects have their faces either printed or sculpted after as Collectibles/Support Items, Artifacts, or Skills.
	+ With a noteworthy example being the Season Event layouts and the "i"s in both *Mystic* games.
* Despite Purrcy suggesting a clothes rack for Cupid's Room, Cupid, (as well as every other character in any Fundoshi Parade game, save for Purrcy himself, Meowlin, and a few others) only ever has one outfit.
	+ Despite this, one of Purrcy's idle quotes that follows this cutscene is him referencing the possible outfits the player can dress him up with when purchasing limited-time outfit bundles. While Meowlin gains a cloak as part of his default outfit in the *Mystic Islands* game.
* His music theme is a slowed down version of Bach, "Little" Fugue in G minor, BWV 578, performed on organ by Stephen Malinowski.

### *Just Kill Me.*

* The list of in-game Artifacts that are modeled after/named after/mention the Demon God in its description/s in *Just Kill Me.* are:
	+ The One Star Artifacts: Lamp of Demon God, Stickers of Demon God, and Doctor Hat.
	+ The Two Star Artifacts: Egg, Trap Card, Happy Blue Bird, and Cat Can.
	+ The Three Star Artifact: Statue of Evil God.
	+ And the Special Artifacts: Mysterious Agony of Death and the Green Balloon.
* One of the Demon God's quotes in the original *Just Kill Me.* game, "If I could use 10% of my power "That Guy" took", is a reference to the Shaggy's Power meme based on the *Scooby-Doo* franchise.
* The password to continue the *Just Kill Me.* game past Demon God 12 is his favorite food - sushi (global version) or TKG (JP version).
* The Demon God is aware that he looks like a "cat" to humans. But, contrary to Innocent, he actually does not mind being mistaken for one, he just seems confused as to why so.
	+ Despite denying, though, not minding, the allegations, he can still meow, albeit, not from his mouth.
	+ He also later reveals how he has discovered what a "rat" is and it somehow awakens the competitive spirit in him.
* Despite being the God of Destruction, he ironically has created a good handful of things in his life, one of which was unintentional.
	+ He reveals that he was the one who created the first black hole in existence, allegedly to help him destroy things.
	+ He also reveals to be creator of the human bodily function known as apoptosis.
	+ Though, not intentionally, he is, or rather, his DNA, is also the origins of the birth of Innocent - thus, creating a new life.
	+ He also revealed that he created humans as a whole.
* The wand he is always seen with during the Fever Time of the *Just Kill Me.* game is reminiscent of the Magic Wand from *Mystic Islands*.
* One of his many poses, the one where he has a hand to his face, is a reference to the same pose by Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli from the *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* franchise.
* It is unknown if the Demon Gods' queromancy actually has any limitations, or if Demiurge made it so that The Invader is immune to the Demon God's detection.
* Ironic to his role as the God of Destruction, the Demon God has admitted to creating a good handful of things, some of which have purposes that are rather useful than ill-willed. Such as
	+ Demon God 24 reveals that he created the black hole, as he claims he got bored of destroying things that physically exist.
	+ Demon God 34 reveals that he created the human bodily function of "apoptosis".
	+ Demon God 45 reveals that he is also responsible for creating humans as a whole. But, he is indifferent towards this particular creation, as humans tend to overdo it with their own destructive nature, while simultaneously he feels somewhat proud that one of his own creations almost ended up destroying himself, too.
	+ Demon God 28 reveals that, despite his confidence in his physical and authoritative strength, he sees himself as weak, moral-wise, as he cannot find it in himself to forgive both himself and the God of Creation for burning bridges.
* Demon God 30 reveals how he just discovered what a "rat" is and that, for some reason, it "awakens the competitive spirit" inside of him.
* It is revealed in the final chapter that the story of "Eternity" was actually falsified by the Demon God, and that he tricked the player into helping get his revenge on "That Guy" for punishing him for his greed for it.
* The only chapters wherein he is absent is during the interlude battle with Troy, and during the epilogue.

### *Mystic Mansion*

* The list of in-game objects that has Meowlin's face either printed or sculpted after as Collectibles/Support Items, Artifacts, or Skills in *Mystic Mansion* are:
	+ The Rainbow Bombs (and Color Wheel Box by extension), Trash Bags, Gold Images, the strange flower, the mansion's entrance sign and stop sign, and one of the posters in the Superintendent's Room.
* It is unclear if Meowlin's comment about Cupid's Room is referring to Cupid's former charm as the Love Deity before her insecurities kicked in, or if he meant there was a former matchmaker before Cupid took the job.
* It is revealed during the Chomper's Room chapter that he can cook, or, at the very least, make an omelet.
* Zeus's Room is the first of many chapters wherein Meowlin has a talk with the deity of the room.

### *Mystic Islands*

* The list of in-game objects that has Meowlin's face either printed or sculpted after as Collectibles/Support Items, Artifacts, or Skills in *Mystic Islands* are:
	+ The statue of himself in Private Beach, Thickets, Rainbow Bombs, and Colored Boxes.
* It is revealed during the Private Beach chapter that Purrcy has always wanted a statue of Meowlin on his own island.
	+ This is the first and only island of the *Mystic Islands* game to not have the final step instructing the player to show Meowlin your progress as he is the one to invite himself over this time.
		- This scene is reminiscent of the same one during the Superintendent's Room chapter in *Mystic Mansion*.
	+ As of the completion of this island, the player is promoted to manager-in-training by Meowlin.
	+ One of Meowlin's final lines of this chapter hints that he is the same Meowlin from *Mystic Mansion* while the game itself is a parallel timeline or universe.
		- Depending on the dialogue chosen, Purrcy also hints earlier in this arc that he may be the same Purrcy as the one in *Mystic Mansion*, if not one of many.
			* This is first foreshadowed then confirmed in the *Just Kill Me* series of games, he reveals that he is one of formerly thirty two trillion other copies of himself, now reduced to just twelve at the beginning of the game. Despite both *Mystic Mansion* games heavily insinuating that he is one of those thirty two trillion/twelve other "Meowlins", what sets the two Meowlins from the *Mystic* games apart from the *Just Kill Me* games' "Meowlins" is how the "Meowlins" of the *Just Kill Me* games all have different names, while the *Mystic* games' "Meowlins" share the same name.
				+ This is later confirmed to be the case, as during the event The Power of Meowlin, it essentially confirms that the Meowlins from both *Mystic* games (as well as the Purrcies, by extension) are one and the same as The Demon God and Innocent from the *Just Kill Me* series of games.
