Aspects

Kayn
- His appearance was inspired by Amon from the anime and manga series Devilman.
- The method in which Darkin possesses human bodies is similar to how demons possess humans in Devilman. Humans in both cases can also dominate the demon / darkin and use its power as their own.
- His appearance pays tribute to both Dante and Virgilio from Devil May Cry, with the color scheme
Virgil's bluish color and Dante's casual and confident attitude that he can subdue any demonic weapon at will.
- Meanwhile
Rhaast resembles Dante's reddish Devil Trigger forms.
- Other influences are various scythe-wielders in video games.
- Kayn may be a possible reference to Ling Yao, a character from the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime. Both characters share similarities in that a superhuman entity resides within them that competes for control of their bodies (Rhaast, a Darkin within Kayn and Greed, a Homunculus within Ling Yao). Additionally, Kayn shares many similarities in character design with Ling Yao.
- Kayn could also be similar to Masane Amaha, a character from the anime Witchblade (A comic book adaptation of the same name). They both wield weapons that are sentient in nature and try to take control of their bodies (Kayn's scythe contains Rhaast, and Masane's gauntlet contains a nameless entity), and both possess supernatural powers.
