Funny, that Mithra thing only dropped on me last night when I was taking my dogs for a walk.

That Parpiner chick that Kun Lan is said to be descended from could probably be Muholland Mother.


You mean Mara Papima? That's not a chick (it may be if you want him to, though), but Kun Lan himself. Kun Lan is said to be a reincarnation of him.

Mara Papima is actually the "king" of the Mara. It's the Buddhist equivalent of the christian devil, if you will, who's only purpose is to prevent Buddha (and you. Which is to say, the Buddha may be yourself) from developping a third eye (enlightment), by clouding his mind with trivialities like carnal activities, which is why Mara often assumes the form of a woman, or several women in order for Buddha to never achieve the highest plane.

(Which is why, in my version of the story, Kun Lan doesn't have the same appearance as in the game, but more like an androgynous, or even female look, in order to appear seductive)
