Anno

A spirit guide created to serve Adventurers, Anno is the embodiment of ANNWN's connection to the Immeasurables. Anno is the first NPC all players meet as they learn the ropes of ANNWN's interwoven menu system. Anno is generally very cheery but also deeply self-conscious, as they have several lines apologizing for seeming impolite or explaining that they don't wish to belittle the player's intelligence by explaining things.

Anno also serves as the unofficial mascot of ANNWN, meaning they're the default person to talk to regarding game mechanics, updates, events, and the Player Support System.

Anno is met with mixed reactions from the community: either adored as a cute, anxious little bean or loathed as a shrill, persistent annoyance.

Statistics
At no point can Anno interact with anything besides the player interface, meaning that Anno lacks any sort of in-game statistics such as HP, Skill Ranks, or Professions. This does not mean, however, that Anno is useless to the player. At any point a player can call for Anno to ask them questions or navigate certain game functions on the player's behalf. This can be done privately by toggling the Command Mic (default activated by the ZC button).

Anno can also be synced up between a party, allowing their answers to be heard by everyone in the group. This is overridden by the use of the Command Mic, in which case Anno responds privately to the player in question.
