Plasma is a Demon in Shin Megami Tensei IV.

Profile

Origin

Plasma is one of the four states of matter, made up of superheated electrons, a state that occurs when gasses are superheated, charging the ions. In the universe, plasma is one of the most abundant things, existing in stars, nebulae, and electricity, which numerically exceeds all other states of matter in the universe. The demon itself is said to be an urban legend about a weapon of mass destruction, likely referencing programs to weaponize plasma streams, such as the American Air Force's now-defunct MARAUDER program.

Design

It appears as an electrified recolor of Chemtrail enclosed in a sphere of energy.

Shin Megami Tensei IV

An urban legend regarding a weapon of mass destruction using plasma technology that has risen from conspiracy theories about the military-industrial complex. The weapon uses plasma created by irradiating electromagnetic waves and crossing them to attack potential targets. It can destroy and/or disarm enemy weapons and instruments, as well as cause mental illness or burn human targets. Giant balls of flames created from plasma experiments have been sighted, but the conspirators reported the sightings as UFO encounters. Plasma is thought to be the ultimate form of the plasma weapon: one that has been fused with a demon.

Game Appearances
