**Augus** is one of the bosses in the Capcom beat 'em up Asura's Wrath. He is one of the Seven Deities and he represents Greed.

## Background

Augus was originally a rogue demigod warrior who lived in the mountainous areas defeating large Gohma and various warriors in his pursuit to find a worthy fighter. After easily defeating a large Gohma, Augus proclaimed his dissatisfaction and desire for a stronger opponent but was suddenly approached by Deus, who wanted him to join the Guardian Generals. Augus ended up joining and training the future deities Asura and Yasha. He only follows the Seven Deities because doing so allows him to fight as much as he wants.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Superhuman Strength:** Augus holds a tremendous amount of superhuman physical strength, partly due to his extremely muscular and heavily-built stature. He is strong enough to rival and sometimes surpass Asura in combat, having defeated and pummeled him constantly during their spars; at one point headbutting him so hard he was knocked unconscious to the ground. Augus sent Asura flying with a single mere punch in their decisive duel on the Moon, and he could even match Asura's strength when he was in his **Six-Armed Vajra Asura** form. He was also able to flick away a Gohma Crusher with nothing but a nonchalant upward thumb flick. Augus also uses his immense superhuman strength to leap vast heights and distances.
* **Superhuman Speed, Agility & Reflexes:** Despite his size and build, Augus was insanely fast and displayed incredibly fast reflexes in battle. He was able to catch Asura off guard by appearing before him in an instant several times, and could evenly keep up with his punching speed despite Asura's advantage of having six arms in his **Six-Armed Vajra** form.
* **Superhuman Durability & Endurance:** Augus was equally tremendously resilient, as he brushed off a direct hit from Asura's attacks multiple times and was barely affected by his unrivaled strength. Augus was also able to stay alive for a significant amount of time after his abdomen had been torned by his own sword, before finally dying.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** As a demigod, Augus likely had near-limitless stamina, as he was able to fight Asura for an extended period of time without showing to tire out.
* **Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant:** As the former master of Asura and Yasha, Augus displays exceptional hand-to-hand combat skills, with him often fighting solely bare-handed rather than using Mantra techniques, believing a true warrior is above such techniques. His skill allowed him to kill the previous Guardian General of Greed and slay many enemies with great ease without ever having to draw his sword. He was able to effectively tutor Asura and partially Yasha in hand-to-hand combat and battle, and due to this he proved himself to be a superior combatant than both of them, as he constantly outclassed Asura in their spars. In their final battle, Augus was able to compete with **Six Armed Vajra Asura** head-on despite Asura having the advantage of six arms, before Augus eventually unsheathed **Wailing Dark**.
* **Master Swordsman:** Despite preferring hand-to-hand combat, Augus is also a masterful swordsman, wielding a powerful sword called "**Wailing Dark**". However, he rarely draws out his sword, as he prefers to use his fists in combat and only ever draws his blade against someone whom he deems worthy. Augus often used his sword in conjunction with Mantra in battle for augmented cutting power, as well as to release powerful slashes of Mantra. His skill in swordsmanship was great enough to roughly stalemate Deus using his nunchaku, **Sakra**, though Deus was holding back to not kill him, but still acknowledged Augus' skill. With his sword drawn, Augus was also able to overwhelm **Six-Armed Vajra Asura**, destroying his arms and nearly killing him, only losing due to Asura's wrath increasing his strength.
* **Immortality:** As a demigod and like all other demigods, Augus possessed immortality and was unable to age. He is 48 in body and mind, but would not age and his lifespan was eternal thanks to Mantra and his demigod physiology. He also could not be killed by conventional methods and could only be destroyed by other deities and the Gohma.
* **Vacuum Adaptation:** As a demigod, Augus is able to survive in outer space and in the Moon unaided and without any form of discomfort. He is not affected by the lack of atmosphere and increased level of cosmic radiation.
* **Mantra of Greed:** Augus' Mantra Affinity is **Greed**. Although Augus mentioned he dislikes relying on Mantra, he still uses Mantra briefly for additional power and to increase his physical attributes and destructive power. He is able to charge his blows with Mantra to generate powerful shock waves. Augus can also channel his Mantra into his sword to enhance its cutting power as well as to release extremely powerful Mantra slashes. Like the other demigods, Augus is also able to manifest his halo to achieve greater power.
	+ **Flight:** Augus possesses the ability to fly at incredibly high speeds by releasing Mantra from his body.
	+ **Soul Extraction:** Like the other deities, it is presumed that Augus has the ability to extract the souls of mortals.
	+ **Halo:** As all demigods who possess one of the eight Mantra affinities, Augus is able to activate his halo to unleash his full power. This was shown during Augus' final battle with Asura.

## Equipment

* **Wailing Dark - Augus' Sword:** Augus' greatest weapon is a mystical *ōdachi*/*nodachi* named "Wailing Dark", which he only draws against an opponent whom he deems sufficiently powerful and worthy; in Augus' lifetime, only Deus and Asura have qualified as such. He is a highly skilled swordsman, and is capable of wielding his sword so effectively as being capable of evenly matching Deus wielding his Nunchaku, **Sakra**, with his sword, although Deus likely held back to not kill him as he intended to recruit him, and forcing **Six-Armed Vajra Asura** back to his original form before finally being barely defeated. His sword has tremendous cutting and piercing power, and is also incredibly durable: it raised up a giant chunk of the Moon with a single slice, and pierced through Asura along with Gaea itself during Augus' battle with Asura with enough force to create a massive crater upon landing.
	+ **Mantra Slashes:** Augus often uses Wailing Dark imbued with Mantra for augmented cutting power in battle, and in addition, the channeled Mantra grants his sword the ability to generate enormous slashes and flying wave slashes of Mantra that travel along the ground that can slice anything in their path. The Mantra slashes can vary between a single slash and multiple slash columns.
	+ **Blade Elongation:** Augus' sword also has the ability to extend its blade to impossibly long lengths, to the point that it can pierce through a whole planet from one end to the other in mere seconds.
