Egungun Culture Costume
A masquerader wears one costume type over another and changes these during performance (maybe we can use that to show how the character attacks and do stuff).
Ceremonies in honor of the dead serve as a means of assuring their ancestors a place among the living.
They believe the ancestors have the responsibility to compel the living to uphold the ethical standards of the past generations of their clan
family elder known either formally or informally as "Alagba" presides over ancestral rites.
Egungun priests and initiates who are trained in ancestral communication, ancestral elevation and funerary rites are assigned to invoke and bring out the ancestors.
Through drumming and dance, the Egungun robed performers are believed to become possessed by the spirits of the ancestors
Yoruba clan
Cloth plays an important role in the world of the Yoruba. Their beliefs equate nakedness with infancy, insanity, or the lack of social responsibility.[3] More elaborate dress reflects social power and prestige.
from expensive and prestigious textiles, expressing the wealth and status of a family as well as the power of the ancestor.
The composition of an Egungun ensemble has several distinctive features. The layer worn closest to the masker's skin, the undersack, must be made of Aso-Oke, the indigo and white strip-cloth (Fig. 6). It closely resembles the shroud in which the dead are wrapped.[4] This sack, along with the netting for the face and hands, must completely seal the masker's body.
The netting effectively disguises facial and hand features that might disclose his identity.
The Oyo Empire was a Yoruba empire
the lappets are decorated with patchwork patterns, braids, sequins, tassels, and amulets. The amulets hold medicinal preparations which have performative power (ase), providing protection against enemies at a time when the transformed person is vulnerable.The main protective amulets, however, are on the inside of the costume, not the outside. Metallic objects are also sewn onto the garment. These catch the light as the wearer moves, creating flashes that suggest connection to the spirit world, orun
Men do the masking. Women never wear the costume, although they participate in the chorus that sings the oriki praise poems and histories of the families
Elder women of high title also perform invocations, prayers, and offerings.
Cybercaster es un Hombre de 32 años. vivia frustrado porque siempre habia sido debil, no tenia vestimenta y todos en la tribu lo menos preciaban. De pequeño lo unico que tenia de su madre era un libro por el cual aprendio la magia del shamanismo. El cual uso para sobrevivir, pero no era suficiente Un dia consigio una poderosa vestimenta escondida y con las ganas de sentirse aceptado y tomado enserio por la sociedad, decidio colocarsela
Egungun Culture
Creen que los antepasados tienen la responsabilidad de obligar a los vivos a mantener los estándares éticos de las generaciones pasadas de su clan.
Hacen una ceremonia en honor a los muertos la cual sirven como medio para asegurar a sus antepasados un lugar entre los vivos.
Los hombres se colocan una vestimenta que hace que el portador sea poseido por los espiritus de los ancestros
La vestimenta tiene un rol importante en la cultura. La falta de vestimenta equivale a un bajo estatus en la sociedad, locura, inmadurez etc etc. (mala reputacion)
La vestimenta le pertenecia a un poderoso y peligroso lider del clan llamado Yaba el cual era conocido y temido por ser un clan obsecionado con el poder, la sumision y el control de la sociedad. usaba metodos de control macabros y terrorificos.
La vestimenta controla a la persona y la obliga a forzar sus reglas, eliminando a las personas que no estaban de acuerdo con sus costumbres.
Las costumbres de su clan son las siguientes:
1
Solo hombres atlético pueden ser parte del grupo. Si no son obligados a mantener buena forma. Si se revisan, deben sacrificarse.
2
Las mujeres deben tener tantos hijos como puedan.
