For my next story I want to focus on the rivalry between the five brothers and the one hundred brothers. I think I want rewrite their backstories with a twist. It is interesting to me that the 100 brothers were described as demonic and they have a father who is blind and a mother who gave up her sight. I want to explore why they are presented in an evil way- was it because they were not watched very well as children? Is it because their father was greedy in wanting to inherit the throne?
Additionally I would like to explore the backstory of the five brothers. Are they presented as good just because their fathers were all gods? What kind of special powers do they have because they were born from gods. It would be fun to develop each character and find out what each one can specialize in.
This story could be interesting from sci-fi perspective. The two sets of brothers could be from different planets. The five brothers could easily be human or they could be descendants of gods from five other planets. The 100 brothers could all be from the same planet and it could be a dark moon or it could be a planet with an evil god ruling it.
The family tree in this version of the Mahabharata is much easier to understand, and now that I am following the storyline a little bit better I would like to incorporate this into my story. I could also incorporate the mothers in the story and they could be from different planets or they could be from some of the same ones. It would be easy to line up the different heirs to the throne and their families as rulers of different planets in an intergalactic space battle. I mostly want to focus on the 100 brothers but I think this could be a cool twist.
