Are the red eyes the new fashion of Cantr?
Lately I've seen many chars with red eyes. Albinism? Vampirism? Hipsterism?

EchoMan is on a roll today....
I like it!

Heterochromia seems just as common.

Heterochromia is sure more common than in real life, but what do you expect from a game where you're allowed to put pretty much anything you want in the description? If I spawn in a location with a lot of people with eye anomalies, I'm going to assume there's something in the genes and use it accordingly. Also even with regular eye and hair colors, I tend to base it on what other characters in the location have, unless I want to emphasize the aspect of being out of place.

I get a kick out of some of the descriptions I read. Some almost to the point of saying hey look at me I'm a freak. I dare you to say something about it...but I figure my character only knows the world of cantr and just ignores it respecting it as normal.

If you found something irregular or not allowed in the descriptions, please send us a message.
The guideline for the descriptions are here:

They go to extremes most times.. either completely freak or completely curvy , muscular, sexy...
I thank those that have normal descriptions.

Yes, there are those, then there are also other characters who attribute those features to your character as well.
I have always maintained that my Plain Jane has been treated as a pin up girl or something. I don't think she is beautiful, or sexy, and she lacks the usual signs (ample bust or sensually swaying hips or whatever) but the amount of times she has been hit on has been mad. One other has been described by others as beautiful/attractive/sexy whereas all I can see is a small, scrawny girl. The best I can come up for her is perhaps charismatic, but nothing like beautiful.
I have only one girl that -I- think is beautiful but yes, there are too many girls with all the curves in the right places, etc...
And I also remember seeing one desc that said something like "looks only half-human", and then there was this char who spawned with a tail and cat ears, whose description changed after some OOC comments.

I remember cat woman!!!! What ever happened to her. My character got verbally assaulted for asking why she looked like a cat. He was being 'insensitive'.

I didn't think he was, at all!

I liked that chap!
The cat woman left, and I believe her player posted that she had died.
I do have something to say on topic, but I can't! Damn!

My attraction towards a character is 100% based on their personality, not on their description. A character could be described as the upside-down head kid on Family Guy, and if he had a beautiful personality I might fall for them. In fact, I tend to ignore descriptions that don't fit my image of a character.

Once I saw a cat woman also, maybe she was the same, but I remember that she was Spanish.

I have an albino character who is...probably one of the oldest ones in the game if not the oldest. I've only met one other albino in my time of playing cantr too, but then again my characters tend to be home bodies.
