Brazilian (5e Race)

Brazilian

Charismatic, Resourceful and with an ability to appear anywhere in the world and able to meet with simple signs of their homeland, Brazilians are an Example of Friendliness and Warriors

Physical Description

The appearance of a Brazilian is something almost impossible to describe, not for having a bizarre appearance or anything like that, in fact it is because all Brazilians emerged from the mixtures of all races that exist in the world, a Brazilian can be from an Orc with details of Elves, a Dwarf with human proportions or even a Tabaxi with less hair and more like a Tiefling. The appearance of a Brazilian can be anything that refers to his paternal and maternal DNA.

But what differs most of the Brazilians from the vast majority of other races, is that even the less athletic Brazilian, still practices many more sports than the average of the other races, this is due to the fact that Brazilian's nation has a large size and a very varied flora, coupled with this people's love of being in constant action, made the Brazilians stay more in physical shape until their last days of life.

Moreover, Brazilians in general have athletic bodies from birth and maintain their peak until they reach a high age or by staying many years without practicing anything and with a bad routine, but most of the races admit that Brazilian women are blessed by the Gods/Primordials of beauty and sensuality, while men are naturally blessed by the Gods/Primordials of strength and look even in their worst physical state still in their physical prime

History

The History of the Nation of Brazilians is something very complex, full of intrigue, and political changes, from a monarchy to a democracy. However what Brazil is known for is that it was colonized by a nation and with effort and a little bit of social relations, Brazil gained its independence. Brazil has become a great possibility to dominate the world, even though in its government there is a lot of corruption.

Society

Brazilian society came about a long time ago, and because of its complex and very long history, some Brazilians end up not being interested in it, even though it is extremely interesting.

However, this mixed race society is an example of variety, one can't exactly say what religion these people worship, because several are worshipped, even in unconventional ways, like "Orcs" worshipping Elven gods, "Humans" worshipping Dwarven gods, "Elves" worshipping human gods

but all Brazilians admit their connection to nature, their homeland has countless natural beauties and its fauna and flora that covers the largest forest in their land, the Primordial Jungle Amazon, is almost infinite, a natural labyrinth made in the beginning of the world to shelter all the animals and plants that would be spread around the world and gradually had its flora and fauna modified by the primordial energy of the world and creating various good and evil creatures and it is in this forest that the defenders of the Brazilian forest live, the gigantic snake Boiuna, protector of rivers and waters of these people, Caipora the protector of animals and even Boitata the primordial fire snake that protects forests and prevents fires.

Brazilian Cities are spread all over its terrain, from the deepest parts of the Amazon to even the harshest and driest Caatinga in the northeast or the coldest and most humid Pampas in the south
All these creatures that roam the forests, jungles, wetlands, cerrados, caatingas and all the other vast biomes of this place, that protect them from beings like the Mapinguari, a giant creature with one eye like a Cyclops and a mouth in the middle of its belly or demonic beings like the Corpo Seco, a person who was denied by heaven, hell and even the abyss

Brazilians are a lively people, full of drive and energy.
This is shown in their personality and way of life, everyone tends to help each other, even if a large part of the population suffers a hard life because of their difficulties, they will never deny a good party, a plate of food or help to those in need.

This culture is extremely attractive to foreigners due to events such as something known as "Carnaval" where Brazilians honor their origins and pay homage to the divinities, the foreigners who helped in the birth of the Brazilian people, or any other theme that Brazilians feel like. They do this with a big party that stops the whole nation to follow, where in this event is made the Carnaval Parades, where vehicles with dancers and music go by showing the beauty of this people and its characteristic dance "Samba".

Other smaller events are also extremely flashy, but the Brazilian cuisine is the one most behind those who are hungry or curious, as the nation was born from a junction of several races, the cuisine of the Brazilian people is extremely varied, but the two best known dishes of this people are the "Feijoada" (beans made with various pieces of meat, and vegetables) and the drink known as "Cachaça" (popularly known as "Pinga"), comes in various forms, flavors and qualities, but is constantly used to make the great "Caipirinha", a drink commonly enjoyed at their parties and festivals.

No matter what you ask Brazilians, they will answer with charisma and happiness to share their culture.
