Mao are a very rare type of demon lord known as a greater Majin. When enough chaos has built up over centuries or millennia the Fates may deem it time to create a Mao. The purpose of the Mao is to bring a balance between chaos and order by acting as a harbinger for the forces of good and order to rally against. Mao are capable of creating demonic weapons to fight with them as well as project demonic energy blasts at foes. Mao are not evil as some would think, however they are driven towards their purpose with a great vigor. Mao are intelligent humanoid creatures that possess two forms. Their first "true" form is their demonic form. This form is still humanoid in nature but possesses a tail or tails, demon horns, claws on the hands and feet, and slit like pupils at a minimum. Their second "false" from is that of a normal humanoid creature of their choosing. This second form allows the Mao to walk among mortals without being noticed. Mao have the ability to transfer their blood into mortal creatures in order to create powerful creature used as Generals in the Maos army. These creatures are called Majin. When the Mao willingly give their blood to a mortal they undergo a transformation and gain the two forms of the Mao. The Majin also gain unique abilities that they use in service to the Mao. Majin created by the Mao have a 75 percent Majin blood to 25 pecent mortal blood ratio. These Majin can then create weaker Majin of their own with a 50 pecent Majin blood to 50 percent mortal blood ratio. This process can be repeated, but after time the ratio of Majin blood is so diluted that no real significance change can be seen. All Majin are capable of commanding lower to mid level fiends. Higher tier fiends will only answer to the Mao and their generals. During combat the Mao can summon forth fiends in order to fight along side them. |
