Curupira?

[Heraclea]

She is standing in the Steel Canyon Icon.  She has no description and no dialog.  She cons as Level Unknown. 

 

The name is of a forest spirit from Brazilian folklore, which somewhat interests me; my dual blades/fire brute Pomba Gira is of a similar origin. 

 

What does she do?

[ShardWarrior]

Protects Serge from those nefarious Tsoo when other heroes aren't around?

[Heraclea]

I actually ran Serge's mission on a l50 just to see if completing it brought her to life.  No dice.

[Widower]

Curupira was a player who died of cancer a few years ago. Like Ascendant and Luna, she was put into the game as a memorial.

Isn't Leandro Brazilian?

 

Maybe this is an Easter egg he put into Homecoming?

Undead capybaras in the city!  Mayhem!  Terror!  Doom cuddles!  Heroes and villains teaming together!  Mass hysteria!

Argentine, actually.

[Abraxus]

Wow!  Immortalized in the game I love.  I could think of no better lasting memorial for myself! 😎

Thanks for the explanation!  (Probably something about the player ought to be added to her in game description, which was blank to me.)

Aw man... That's sad. He was truly one of the superstars. Where is his memorial? Hope he's doing the phone call emote...

[Sakai]

That is sad but sweet that it was done. 

 

This must be the one many NPCs I encounter in game that I run up to and try to say awesome look.

 

SO MANY TIMES.

Steel Canyon, Blyde Square (next to the boot of the statue).  And yes, he's talking on the pay phone there.

Coyote too...  Those most folks probably skip the tutorial nowadays and don't even know/realize/remember he's there.

I've never heard of Luna, I'd love to hear her story.

[MetaVileTerror]

Thanks for the information on that Widower.  I had been curious too.
An in-game description on these NPCs would probably be a nice little bit of rememberence?

[biostem]

I'm not able to log in ATM; Does anybody have pics of these characters?  I'm only familiar with Coyote...

 

Thanks!

I was wondering where Luna came from and why the astral & empryan npcs were gone 

[MetaVileTerror]

Someone asked for screenshots, yeah?

 

Steel Canyon

 

Ouroboros

Not that I'd ever be significant enough, but I wonder . . . with over 100 characters presently (and over 150 on Live) . . . how many of them would get immortalized . . .

Found another one:  Raine Heartfall, in the Sharkhead Monkey Fight Club building.

Is that the same case for Todagut in RWZ?

Are there any more tributes to our fallen?

[ImpousVileTerror]

Has anyone got a screenie of Todagut and their coordinates?

Luna was a gem. Passed in 2017 from cancer, as I recall.
