Not here to argue, nor start an argument. That being said I call them toons mainly out of force of habit from other MMO's. On more of a technical point though, they are in in fact actually toons. Your character was first drawn out then digitized and colored/drawn on a computer made into a 3d sculpture and had animations added to it in the same way 3d cartoons are made but are more interactive.
I'm always amazed that threads like this keep on going and going...

All in favor of calling them "Peanut Butter" instead of "Toons" say aye.
I don't know if any of my stuff was totally cohesive or anything. I was not in the best state of mind. I do still believe "character" is a great description, since it hopefully develops as a dynamic, changing person. I always referred to it as a character. Oh well. I suppose this time around maybe I was just posting to make this thread go on a little longer. :p
No you make a fine argument to my pointQuote:

I actually call them toons (from CoH/V days) but i had to post anyway
I picked up the usage of toon from the context, but I've always called them chars. Then again, I'm old school.
