Different places in the world and different cultures have different naming conventions and we would be intrigued if somebody start using a different term. Using your example, if somebody came up to me in the UK and called a car an "auto" I would notice pretty much straight away. The same could be said for if somebody called it an "automobile" - you would immediately assume they were posh.

Same goes for games so I don't think it's an issue being interested in this. I personally use character because this game is a lot less cartoon-like than most MMO's out there, and the name "toon" became a big hit from WoW where the characters are considerably cartoon-like.
