Characters or Toons

Characters, 100%. I always thought the term "toon" was awkward/childish/sophomoric/lame, and would never find myself using it. Reminds me of the Animaniacs or something, and while that's cool, I am not playing a WB MMO lol.

Toon = Cartoon. An animated program for viewing. Non-interactive. Usually meant for children.

Character = Defined by a specific set of properties; physical, visual, functional and/or behavioral, that identify any living thing or object, real or fictional, as specifically what it is. (ie: the characteristics of a person that defines him/her as a unique individual)

Cartoons have characters in them.

Toon sounds like some straight up nerd s**t.
