I remember reading about rakshasas and asuras earlier in the semester and they, specifically asuras, were described as being good or evil. I'm not sure that I have seen either be labeled as a "good guy" yet.
Interesting. So I wanted to read this comic as a way to get some backstory to the Hiranyakashipu incarnation of Jaya as he faces off against Hopefully I can learn more about Hiranyakashipu because Vijaya's incarnation was dead in the first page. Prahlad will be an interesting element to use in my story but he can't be the main focus of the story. Making it so that Hiranyakashipu has no recollection of his time with Vishnu as Jaya is very important. Vishnu's avatar may get to know his true identity as it seems that Krishna was omniscient presence.
Prahlad is a sleeper agent for Vishnu and his faith cannot be stirred. His father has an arrogance to him that will be exploited. However, Prahlad still appears to love his father. This long story of how they tried to kill Prahlad might be omitted. Seeing the hate of Hiranyakashipu is great to see as it shows a complete reversal from his time as Vijaya. There is a direct hatred of Vishnu.
There is our Vishnu avatar. Narashimha. I might want to get him more involved into the story, maybe a little bit more dialogue. Perhaps it will relate to the gatekeepers and all of Vishnu's avatars are aware of the situation. I think that having each one of the incarnations be purified of their sins will be good for wrapping up the story and having them all come back to Vishnu.
