There are literally hundreds of religions I could pick and draw from, and the only connection they'd have is "these guys are all from polytheistic pantheons, rejoice". I'm also specifically using Asura plural, not singular. Asura is a name for a type of deity figure in those religions. Pretty sure there isn't any sole individual named Asura, though games like Asura's Wrath and Persona are misleading on that front.

Edit: a search brings up the HEKATONKHEIRES from Greek mythology, and Naga's are apparently sometimes depicted with multiple arms. Could also go off beat and include multi legged creatures like Sleipnir. Definitely taking it into consideration. My issue with that though is that it would detract from the... well, uniqueness of a character based on a figure known for being depicted with multiple sets of arms (and the corresponding skill set to show it) if he's around other characters who are also based on figures depicted with multiple sets of limbs.
