Indian Mythology-Based Fantasy Story -- 2

Setting & Magic SystemShould the story take place entirely in a modern city (like Mumbai or Delhi), a historic town (like Udaipur or Hampi), or a hidden magical realm accessible from India?How hidden should the magic be? Should everyday people notice the devas and asuras, or is there a magical "veil" that keeps normal humans from seeing it? 2. The Protagonist & CompanionsWhat is Neel's personality? Is he a reluctant hero who prefers video games, an overachieving bookworm, or a bold risk-taker?Would you like him to have a human friend or cousin join the quest alongside Kapi (the brass monkey) to bounce dialogue off of? 3. The Mythological CoreAre there specific deities, legends, or epics (such as the Ramayana, Mahabharata, or Puranic tales) you want referenced more deeply?Do you like the idea of using the Samudra Manthan (Churning of the Ocean) as the basis for his trials, or would you prefer a different mythological challenge? 4. Pace & ToneOn a scale of 1 to 5, how action-heavy should the climax be? (1 being a pure puzzle/riddle showdown, 5 being an energetic magical battle).
