OEnone

I just feel that she deserves her own thread.

Discuss.

Okay, I'll start.

My very first Cantr character spawned in Pok over sixteen years ago and OEnone was there, presiding over her kingdom. Unofficially, of course, because she resisted attempts to push her into a leadership role. My character was a bit in awe of her, she always had a mysterious air about her that kept her just out of reach. Even then she survived a massacre that wiped out most of the town and I'm sure she's survived many more since. I have come and gone from the world of Cantr at least four times since then, and I have much respect for a player who has created a character who has endured all of these years.

I remember the name from when I first started playing but I don't remember the character. I didn't spawn where she was.... that I recall.

Is it some character in EZ?

I don't know what EZ is.

OEnone is an iconic cantr character that has endured over 16 years and probably much more. I think that a character that has survived over a decade and a half should be recognized. I say that from the perspective of a player who has created and played numerous characters over the years, some of whom were significant, but all were ultimately allowed to die... usually due to my own neglect.

I know that the cantr world is physically larger now and the population smaller, and there is less of a chance to encounter some of these characters. However, it is the common acknowledgement and celebration of some of these "heroes" that develops and enriches the culture of cantr.

I agree. :D

EZ means English zone, or where English characters tend to be in Cantr.

My first character, maybe 2010, spawned in Pok and OEnone was all about the power play and was a master at manipulation. Interesting town dynamic. I remember a female character with a male name (Ed?) and a dude who kitted up as a cowboy there before later travelling and joining some notorious bad guys. My character was miserable for the first few years.
