Sit Down. I'm going to tell you a story.

This is part of a mini-project titled 'People from Brazil need to get their shit together and realize how fcking awesome their culture is'
or 'Alice aggressively shares Brazilian myths and folklore with unsuspecting bypassers' or 'A mock RPG based on Brazilian Folklore, by me, for a class'

Ok.

Now look at this badass mofo. Look at him. Oh oh, there you go. Yeah. You saw that, didn't you? Mindfck isn't it? Bastard's feet are backwards, man!! Backwards! Who thought of that?? That is genius work, I'm telling you. So you're trying to catch this guy in the forest, you're after his trail and... you're going in the wrong direction!! Aragorn could not catch this guy. I'll let that sink in.
Done?
If that's not cool, I don't know what is. So this guy? His name is Curupira, he's the (not the only one, tho) guardian of the forest. You're not going to like him if you're out hunting. And get this, he's a dwarf who rides a wild hog and can kick anyone's behind, which he does on regular occasions.
He's my favorite. But there's also another guy who's coming up next and you guys are gonna love him.

In my mock-game, he's my Summoner/Necromancer class & Dwarf race with a bit a personality that just does not fit inside his body. He's very boisterous, crude and flirty.

His female counterpart in the game is Caipora. The legends are very similar, however Caipora's feet are not backwards and she is always associated with smoking a lot.

About this project:

Here in my country, Brazil, people are not very interested in their own culture. Everything local is disregarded as lame or just not as good as the next guy's. I think that Brazilian myths are just as cool (or hey, ridiculous lol) sounding as everywhere else's and it's just that, while there have been games/movies/etc made out of the content of other countries' myths that made them look cool/badass, that has not been the case with Brazilian stuff (not in large scale, anyway - for all I know there can be something out there). Basically, the raw material is there, someone just needs to get it, polish it up and show how it's just as good as anything else.
So when I was asked to do a project for a class this semester, I chose this idea. Hey, I'm not solving the problem with this hahaha, but I just wanted to at least try and say HEY GUYS LOOK! Our myths and legends are not so retarded and lame as you think LOL They're actually something cool and badass and awesome that you'd even want to play if you could!
I don't know if I managed to do that or not, but, the point is... I want to at least get the message out there: Your culture is important, and it's something rich and you shouldn't look down on it. No matter where you come from. So Look into your country's stuff, you might find something inspiring there. There's so much of the 'same old, same old' out there. That's cause we ignore the weird stuff hidden in other cultures. So, let's dig it up, yeah? Not just Brazilians, everyone.
wtf is this a motivational speech lol
Anyway lol I think I'll be able to finish 3~4 characters this semester for this project. So I hope you look forward to that
