Meet Lando, The Sea Protector Inspired by the Bajo Society
Lokapala introduces a new character named Lando who is inspired by the Bajo people.
News | 27 December
The Bajo community is currently hotly discussed because of the portrayal of their culture presented in James Cameron's Hollywood film. The writer and director explained that the Bajo people were one of the inspirations for the concept of the Metkayina tribe in his latest film, Avatar: Way of Water. But apparently, the Bajo tribe is not only depicted in popular media such as Avatar. In 2021, the MOBA game Lokapala by Anantarupa Studios has already featured the Bajo community in one of their Ksatriya named Lando.
"As the second biodiversity country in the world, Indonesia has a responsibility to protect the world's ecosystems and marine life, especially coral reefs. It is recorded that there are more than 500 types of coral reefs in the coral triangle, of which one-third are now in very poor condition. We hope that in the future Indonesia's younger generation will be more aware and care about the archipelago's marine environmental issues," said Ninoi Kiling, IP & Development Lead of Anantarupa Studios
As a maritime society, the lifestyle and culture of the Bajo people cannot be separated from the sea. In fact, the reluctance of the Bajo people to the sea is evident even in their daily lives. For example, they use simple equipment to catch fish and have restrictions on disposing of their household waste in the sea. They believe violating these two things will result in marine disasters, such as damage to marine sustainability and ecosystems, especially coral reefs. It is these values of the wisdom of the Bajo people that want to be conveyed in Ksatriya Lando in Lokapala.
The Bajo community was originally a maritime society with exciting stories and origins. It is recorded that the Bajo tribe is scattered in various places in the Asia Pacific region, starting from Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and even to the Chinese region. However, the existence of the Bajo people has been recorded in history since the time of the Sriwijaya kingdom. Historically, the Bajo people have made a major contribution in safeguarding the archipelago's maritime territory, which is a world trade route.
Another interesting thing is the physiological condition of the Bajo tribe which is different from other humans. Research shows that the DNA of the Bajo tribe has genetic adaptations, such as the size of their spleen which is 50% larger than the general population. The spleen functions to store blood reserves, so that more red blood can be accommodated, meaning that more oxygen is also stored. This is what makes them able to dive at depths of up to 70 meters with a period of more than 10 minutes.
