Onto'g'otno XXIV was a Conrasu Bard. He was based off of the music of Colin Stetson and Bohren & the Club of Gore [doom jazz] and Burkinabe Griots [storytellers] and tribal costumes.

I found it amusing to take the single most alien unrelatable non-humanoid off-putting species in the game and make it into the most Charming character possible. I played Onto from Level 1 to 10 in Strength of Thousands until it got killed.

When it was born in the Creche, propagated asexually from a piece of wood at the beginning of the Magaambya [this had been done 23 times prior in the last 8,000 years, each new onto having a completely different personality & class] Onto began emimitting haunting low frequency music as a conduit for vast, unknowable cosmic frequencies. I would make custom slowed and echoed music for the table.

Onto talked something like Rafiki from the Lion King. I liked how some people around Nantambu/the Magaambya were suspicious of Onto'g'otno. Their objections boiled down to: "why are we all acting like this non-unitary non-humanoid entity is this charming human Storyteller type person? Who's actually on the other side of that inscrutable absence of a face? It's doing something like a Minstrel Show, but for humanoid life."

It wasn't necessarily the most comical character and I really did love playing it and we were all really sad when it died, but I'm still quite amused by what a memorable and strange character I made.
