I currently writing about a fantasy-philosophy-romance novel, and the universe I used is Hindu and Sanskrit (or probably I just use the names and terms because I don't really understand their mindsets and cultures)
right now I meet a confusion about the deities and myth creatures.
Basically I tried to combine RPG elements with Hindu-ish creatures, such as
as in FFX RPG, a summoner can call Ashuras
here in my novel, Ashuras are the same as Aeon or Espers in Final Fantasy universe.
but the problem after doing a little research on google, I found that Ashura actually is a God, and the other articles said that it was kind of bad-traits, another said that it was a kind of demon race, the other articles even said that it's the same concept of avatar (reincarnation)
I can't decide which one is right, and just wondering if I can just adopt the name.
if you have collections of Hindu's deities and creatures, it would be really helpful.
thx b4
