CERBERUS - SPLINTERLANDS VISUAL PT/EN
(nativo)
(translate google)
Eu tenho criado algumas histórias sobre Splinterlands utilizando como base a própria lore que o jogo disponibiliza sobre suas cartas, e com o tempo fui percebendo que nas primeiras edições existem muitas cartas com história rasa (totalmente compreensível, afinal o time focado em criar esse background começou a atuar mais fortemente nos último meses).
I've been creating some stories about Splinterlands using as a base the lore that the game makes available about its cards, and over time I realized that in the first editions there are many cards with a weak lore (totally understandable, after all the team focused on creating this background started to act more strongly in the last few months).
Mas não é somente o texto que conta algo sobre aquele monstro, sua aparência também pode nos falar muito sobre quem ele é, então essa é a proposta desta postagem.
Eu irei analisar a aparência da carta e viajar em minhas interpretações, divagando entre ideias e conceitos pessoais sobre os motivos daquela carta ser assim e os detalhes que a conectam ao universo de Splinterlands.
But it's not just the text that tells something about that monster, its appearance can also tell us a lot about who it is, so that's the purpose of this post.
I will analyze the appearance of the card and travel in my interpretations, rambling between ideas and personal concepts about why that card is like this and the details that connect it to the universe of Splinterlands. Hope you like it.
A carta que escolhi para a primeira análise visual foi o Cerberus, uma unidade presente nas edições Alpha e Beta, ou seja, dentre as primeiras cartas lançadas no jogo.
Quem é o Cerberus?
The card I chose for the first visual analysis was Cerberus, a unit present in the Alpha and Beta editions, that is, among the first cards released in the game.
Who is Cerberus?
Essencialmente é um cão gigantesco de três cabeças. Sua origem vem da mitologia grega, sendo a criatura que guarda os portões do Tártaro impedindo que qualquer alma saia do reino dos mortos.
Como geralmente o inferno é associado como um lugar composto por lava, fogo e sofrimento, o Cérberus possui esse forte entrelaçamento com o elemento fogo, tornando bastante coeso a escolha do seu Splinter. Suas correntes mostram que é uma criatura extremamente agressiva e precisa ser controlada.
O rabo do Cerberus de Splinterlands é diferente das outras culturas. Geralmente o Cerberus possui um rabo serpente, fazendo alusão à sua irmã Quimera (na história grega), mas em Splinterlands eu não me recordo de haver uma Quimera, então é possível que neste universo essa criatura formada por múltiplos animais não exista (ainda).
Essentially it is a gigantic three-headed dog. Its origin comes from Greek mythology, being the creature that guards the gates of Tartarus preventing any soul from leaving the realm of the dead.
As hell is usually associated as a place composed of lava, fire and suffering, Cerberus has this strong intertwining with the fire element, making the choice of his Splinter very cohesive. The chains show that he is an extremely aggressive creature and needs to be controlled.
The tail of Cerberus on Splinterlands is different from other cultures. Cerberus usually has a serpent or dragon tail, alluding to its sister Chimera (in Greek history), but in Splinterlands I don't remember having a Chimera, so it's possible that in this universe this creature formed by multiple animals doesn't exist (still).
Sobre sua habilidade Heal 
não existe um motivo específico para ela. O Cerberus não é exatamente conhecido por suas habilidades regenerativas, como seria o caso da Hydra por exemplo, tornando assim um bom mistério os motivos que levaram aos desenvolvedores a darem essa habilidade para ele.
Entretanto a habilidade Retaliate 
está totalmente em concordância com quem o Cerberus é: um monstro que possui três cabeças recheadas de dentes e prontas para abocanhar qualquer um que se aproxime.
About his Heal skill there is no specific reason for it. Cerberus is not exactly known for its regenerative abilities, as would be the case with Hydra for example, thus making it a good mystery why the developers gave this ability to him.
However, the Retaliate skill is in full agreement with who Cerberus is: a monster that has three heads stuffed with teeth and ready to snap at anyone who approaches.
Juntando todas essas informações percebe-se que ainda estamos exatamente de onde partimos: é uma criatura feroz, perigosa e que está relacionada à vigilância e o fogo, mas não há nada além disso. Tanto em outras cultura quanto em Splinterlands há pouco sobre o Cerberus.
No caso do nosso jogo, quem será que controla esta criatura? O que ela vigia? Estaria o Cerberus protegendo uma passagem escondida que pode ser utilizada pela Legião do Caos para invadir as terras elementais? Porquê ele se cura? Essa no fim é o meu maior questionamento... Mas enfim, questionar faz parte da arte de divagar.
Putting all this information together, you can see that we are still exactly where we started: it is a fierce, dangerous creature that is related to surveillance and fire, but there is nothing more. Both in other cultures and in Splinterlands there is little about Cerberus.
In the case of our game, who control this creature? What does she watch? Is Cerberus protecting a hidden passage that could be used by the Chaos Legion to invade the elemental lands? Why does he heal? That is my biggest questioning... But anyway, questioning is part of the art of rambling.

They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.
They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?
!1UP good work!

A aparência pode falar muito sobre quem somos. No caso do Cerberus, sabemos que devemos ter medo dele.

If you wanted to create a lore piece focused on Cerberus or create a short story about the three headed dog that would be perfect!
Oh, I'm sorry. I'll only use it in my stories then! Thanks for the warning.
