I applied for a game of Demon: the Descent, and submitted a Hindi character with a four armed, three-eyed demonic form made of flesh-like metal and a desire to build a cult. I was denied on the grounds that the Hindu trappings are confusing and restrictive. The ST said the God-Machine is more monetheistic, and Hinduism is polytheistic. And since cults are just infrastructure it makes no sense to use Hindu trappings.
I really have no good arguments and am thinking I should just rewrite the character. I brought up that reinterpreting the mythology through a non-Western lense is a valid approach, but the reason is not valid enough. Anyone have some justification for m choice?
