Six Arms of Asura (Community Project)

Inspired by the game Asura’s Wrath

A rework of the original The Asura NFT project

Asura (アスラ, Asura) is the main protagonist and titular character of the action beat 'em up game Asura’s Wrath. He is a Demigod and the husband of Durga, father of Mithra, and brother-in-law of Yasha. His Mantra Affinity is Wrath. He was formerly one of the Eight Guardian Generals and former Guardian General of Wrath, who served the Army of Shinkoku and the Emperor to fight against the Gohma. He was framed and betrayed by his seven comrades, who kidnapped his daughter, murdered his wife, and killed and banished him to Earth. But even in death, he was filled with an indelible rage that led him back to the world of the living, to get his revenge and save his daughter.

More on this amazing masterpiece of a game and what seems to be an earlier and Buddhist/Hindu counterpart to the renowned Kratos can be found on the internet including amazing gameplays on youtube, so let us move on to the benefits of this project.

ENHANCEMENTS TO BE LIKE ASURA

STRENGTH

  • Optimisation of the nervous system to become more efficient at recruiting muscles to perform movements.
  • Comprehensive and balanced strengthening of all muscle fiber, bones, ligaments, soft tissues, tendons etc. with densely packed and fortified force of life.
  • Optimisation of blood circulation, flow and supply throughout the body to allow every part of the body to receive perfect oxygen and nutrients and removal of waste products, which benefits the entire body but also affect the tension-producing capacity of muscles and their resistance to fatigue.

SPEED, AGILITY, REFLEXES

  • Easier and more instinctive activation of Fast-twitch muscle fibers that contract quickly and help you perform fast, high-intensity activities for short periods, like sprinting, jumping jacks, box jumping, and weightlifting and strength-training workouts. Fast-twitch muscles are a large proportion of the small muscles in hands and eyes for rapid movement.
  • Enhanced Neuromuscular control, which is your brain’s ability to control the muscles in your body. This acts as the “software” which controls the “hardware” of your body (i.e. muscles, bones, tendons, etc.). Without the right software programs, the best hardware is useless.
  • Increasing the user’s flexibility through:
  1. Increased blood supply and nutrients to joint structures

  2. Increased quantity of synovial joint fluid (oil in the crank case)

  3. Reduced muscular tightness and increased joint mobility

  4. Modifying blood pooling, re-circulation

ASURA CORE
The creation of a core (based off the Golden Core in cultivation) with the ability to constantly and automatedly draw pure heaven and earth energies/qi into the user’s body and nourish as well as energize the body with each and every breath, including the ability to breathe and correspondingly absorb through the pores of our skin. These heaven and earth energies/qi supplement the users as an additional source of energy when in situations of physical exertion (such as exercise, combat, fasting etc.) (SUPERHUMAN ENDURANCE) but also circulate through the meridians and every inch of the user’s body comprehensively when at states of rest or intended cultivation to nourish, strengthen, purify of all impurities, and refine the user’s skin, flesh, blood, bones, organs, and bone marrow as well before storing the remaining energy/qi in the core, which grows denser and more powerful over repeated nurturing of the energies/qi (cultivation). This core doubles as a permanent store of power that which users can call upon to enhance their physical performance when necessary or to perform superhuman acts (when of sufficient cultivation) as well as supplement the user’s qi/life force which extends the lifespan corresponding to the amounts and quality of qi accumulated over time.

MASTER HAND-TO-HAND COMBATANT
An alchemical revision of the past to provide the user with the experience, knowledge, muscle memory as well as beneficial physical enhancements from learning and practicing martial arts since young.

IMMORTALITY

  • The reduction in telomere cap degradation and age recapture of the body to around 20
  • Additionally, telomere caps in all our cells remain the same length and possibly grow longer after each cell division
  • Healing and maintenance of all cells and proteins within the body to be of perfect, negentropic stability

REGENERATIVE HEALING FACTOR
Maximising efficient usage of resources within the body (such as stored up fat) and smart programming of stem cells to as quickly and effectively as possible to heal both internal and external injuries. Includes but not limited to superficial skin wounds, ulcers, burns, bites, puncture wounds, surgical wounds and incisions, broken bones, torn muscles, ligaments, tendons as well as internal organ injury etc. Also includes a disease-fighting amplification which programmes our entire immune system to be smart (which also eliminates auto-immune conditions) and enhances them with negentropic lifeforce and prana to most efficiently and effectively address and eliminate any and all bacterial and viral infections within the body, also extends to the destruction of senescent cells and any pre-cancerous and cancerous cells. Last but not least, these smart and enhanced cells (stem cells and others) will allow (as best as possible) the body to regenerate parts that are normally not able to such as cartilage, entire limbs and more.

VACUUM ADAPTATION
Adaptation of the body to be able to survive even in space via

  1. Developing the ability to sustain the body solely with absorbing and consuming pure cosmic, universal energy to the extent where even oxygen is positive but not an absolute necessity and
  2. Developing the resistance to heightened levels of cosmic and all other forms of radiation

INDOMITABLE WILL
Instillation of an absolute belief in oneself’s own purpose, identity, self-worth and overall absolute self-confidence and decisiveness. Added with a protection against attempts of mind influence and control be it direct or indirect.

SOUL MANIPULATION RESISTANCE

  • Ability to resist tampering of the soul and external spiritual entities (including beings on the deity standing) or influences
  • Extends to the ability of your soul and consciousness to decide the course of your own afterlife
  • Consequentially it also loosens the effects of any pre-existing karma from this or past lives

HEAT & COLD RESISTANCE
Ability to resist extreme temperatures on both ends. Works in two ways-

  1. Lowers the sensitivity of your nerves as temperature reaches a high/low that will normally affect your thought and functioning and
  2. A layer of energy that covers your outermost surface of the body (skin or otherwise) that absorbs excess heat (when in contact with heat) and generates warmth (when in contact with the cold) accordingly

THE VAJRA ASURA

Asura’s most commonly seen form, it is a form where Asura’s arms are coated in a golden metallic armor. Through the Mantra activation within his body, he is able to metalize his arms through the power of his Mantra of Wrath and increase their strength, durability and making them more suitable for combat. Asura’s mastery of this form is most prominent in the fact that Asura is rarely seen outside of this form.
In Buddhism, The Vajra (Sanskrit: वज्र, romanized: Vajrā, lit. ‘Thunderbolt’) is a legendary and ritual weapon, symbolising the properties of a diamond (indestructibility) and a thunderbolt (irresistible force). The vajra is regarded as the symbol of highest spiritual power which is irresistible and invincible. It is therefore compared to the diamond, which is capable of cutting asunder any other substance; but which itself cannot be cut by anything. Likewise the properties of preciousness—nay, of supreme value—of changelessness, purity and clarity, were further reasons why in Buddhism the vajra was equated with the diamond. This is expressed in such terms as “Diamond Throne” (vajrasana), for the place on which the Buddha attained enlightenment, “Diamond Saw” (vajracchedika) for one of the most profound philosophical scriptures of the Mahayana, which ends with the words: "This sacred exposition shall be known as Vajracchedika-prajnaparamita-sutra—because it is hard and sharp like a diamond, cutting off all arbitrary conceptions and leading to the other shore of “Enlightenment.”

  • Transformation of the Individual Consciousness into an Indestructible Inner Body of Consciousness / Soul
  • Transformation of the physical body into one that is indestructible, will not die, decay, or decompose forever
  • A ‘Vajra Armour’ that is worn by the user at all times, which:
  1. Perfectly protects the user from all energetic and spiritual harm
  2. Destroys negative entities that comes into contact with it
  3. Nullifies negative planetary influences
  4. Heals, restores, rejuvenates, and regulate to more than perfect functioning of all the energetic channels in our body
  5. Enhances and regulates the biological, physiological functioning of our body (covering all systems such as blood, cardiovascular system, digestive system, endocrine system, renal system, muscular system, nervous system, reproductive system, respiratory system, sensory reception system, skeletal system as well as balancing of our hormones) to stamp out any disease, eliminate causes of said disease, and prevents potential future diseases

MANTRA REACTOR

(Game lore) Mantra is the cosmic energy produced by emotions and prayers, made either from the souls of mortals or from prayers. Mantra, in its full form, is composed of eight “pure” Mantras, those being Wrath, Pride, Greed, Lust, Vanity, Violence, Melancholy, and Sloth. These are known as the “Eight Mantras that Govern the World”. In its natural form, it resembles vibrations similar to those emitted by sound waves and possesses very little power on its own. However, through its manipulation - be it either by the Priestess or by resonating it within the Mantra Reactor - Mantra can become an abundant source of power. When amplified like that, Mantra appears as a green mist or aura capable of powering machinery, healing wounds, and also capable of strengthening those indulged in it to god-like heights. Bearing characteristics similar to electricity, it can be transmitted and stored with conductors.
(End of Game lore)
Mantra plays a crucial role in Hinduism, Buddhism and Indian religions, being described as the source of all life. It is a sacred utterance, sound, word or chant used to clear the mind and aid concentration during meditation and prayers, as well as being used in spiritual practices to materialize deities. Practitioners believe Mantras have spiritual powers. In Sanskrit, Mantra means “mind control”.

  • The user becomes a ‘Mantra Reactor’, which means that they are able to absorb all emotions and intentions (positive and negative) directed towards them as well as lingering remnant emotions and intentions around them and instantaneously automatedly convert all of it into neutral, pure essences and energies of manifestation which will contribute to and bolster the user’s own wishes and manifestations. The user’s own emotions and wishes will be more efficiently and effectively converted towards the manifestation of what they seek or desire.

I really like the mechanical nature of the core here, as just sitting infront of my laptop and doing my own thing, playing the audio without any focus or intention to explicitly connect to it, i can still feel the core doing its thing and energy humming and concentrated in my chest area and some in other parts of my body…

I think the captain’s magic this time is really suitable for my lazy and distracted self xd

Hello, I apologize for the amateurish question but how does one get access to use an NFT like this? I don’t see any links to purchase. Was this an early sign up type NFT? Or limited access? Thank you

If you’re looking to join a project like this check out the Community and Side Projects section of the forum.

Once a project is completed, like this one is, you can use the Official NFT Buying/Selling Thread to see if anyone is selling.
