Unknown

**Demi-Fiend** (also known as **Naoki Kashima**) is the main character of the 2003 game Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.

## Background

When attempting to visit his teacher, Yuko Takao, in the hospital, the protagonist, Chiaki Hayasaka, and Isamu Nitta find that Tokyo has been struck by a battle of cults in the nearby park. Exploring the hospital to find his teacher, the protagonist enters a strange room, finding Hikawa, a former member of the Cult of Gaea that was involved in the purge at the park. Hikawa then begins a ritual to start the Conception, where he summons demons to the world and turns all of Tokyo into a massive sphere, creating the Vortex World. All of humanity is apparently wiped out with very few survivors. After being bonded with a demon by the help of Lucifer, the protagonist becomes the Demi-Fiend. Lucifer scans the heart of the Demi-Fiend and finds it is empty, lacking a purpose. Demi-Fiend is then tasked with finding a Reason to create a new world.

The Demi-Fiend may choose from one of five paths in the end. The Demi-Fiend may become a follower of Yosuga, which values the strong over the weak. The Demi-Fiend may become a follower of Shijima, which wishes for a world of total stillness. The Demi-Fiend may become a follower of Musubi, which fixates on individuality. The Demi-Fiend may reject all other Reasons and choose the path of freedom, the neutral path. The Demi-Fiend could also become a demon, rejecting all paths and ending creation. Alternatively, for the Demi-Fiend to become a true demon, he will enter the army of demons led by Lucifer as one of his generals and march to the final battle with God.
