2. #2Toonsconstant

   Keys: Cartoon, toon · Secondary: Drawing

   a Toon is a character whose personality (and usually appearance) is greatly exaggerated. Even for the The Comically Serious, comedy colors everything the character does, and they are often unable to complete the most basic tasks without falling victim to a number of improbable variables. A probable reason is that many thrive on a consistent, tolerated kind of chaos. The whole idea is often clearly represented by having the characters acknowledge themselves as Toons. Toons are nothing more that drawings that gained sentience and jumped out of their paper, so the person that drew them initially is their creator. It is impossible for a toon to create another toon. Not every character is a toon.

It’s all about enhancing the emotion of the moment in a highly exaggerated, sometimes chaotic way.

The resulting injury has the character flattened down to a paper-thin state. While in this state, the Toon becomes incredibly light and can be lifted, manipulated, rolled up, or folded by another character. They might even become light enough to be blown away on the wind or folded into something like a paper airplane and thrown. Sometimes, when a toon is squashed vertically, they are crushed into a pleated and flexing shape like an accordion, when flattened like an accordion, said toon can even be played as one.

9. #9Inflation

Despite briefly conducting enough juice to make their skeleton visible through your skin, there'll be no lasting damage to the toon, even from the most traumatic Electric Torture.

12. #12Detach

    Keys: divide, come off, take off, pull off, cut off, detach, piece, detach, split, fall apart, go to pieces

    Toons can detach body parts without harm, blood, pain.

    Keys: fight cloud, fight, battle, brawl, scuffle, combat, altercation · Secondary: cloud, dust, dust cloud, blurs

    When fighting, two (or more) toons may vanish into a ball of smoke, from which the sounds of a really violent struggle emanate. Hands, feet or other random objects may protrude momentarily, then be pulled back in. Often, swirls and five-pointed stars can be seen emerging from the ball.During a really long fight, the Big Ball of Violence may start rolling around the area, sucking up any nearby bystanders or objects into the fight, Sometimes a character escapes from the fight cloud, leaving the other participant to realize he's been beating up himself (or, if several characters had ganged up on the escapee, each other), or if a "reluctant" participant tries to sneak away and escape immediately gets dragged back into it. Or a character may be thrown out of the ball, angrily get up and jump back into the fray. In other cases, if a character witnesses a Second-Person Attack, and is easily overpowered, then the Big Ball Of Violence may mean the overpowered character is taking an ass-kicking. Another common gag is to have the fight come to a sudden halt, usually at the demands of an authority figure, with the participants stuck in ridiculous poses mid-attack, such as trying to bite somebody in the leg, or about to use a lethal weapon they certainly didn't have going into it. a variant without a cloud of dust exists, in which case, the toons caught in the altercation only appear as blurs of the primary color they're wearing. the blur can then appear as an electron ring-like shape or a simple circle. all previous rules apply to the cloudless variant.

    Keys: Storage, hammerspace, pull, take, empty, rummage, behind, go through

    Toons inexplicably can store as many items as a joke requires it to hold (including dangerous items), may have multiple dimensions worth of capacity.

There seems to be a great deal of it inside the toons own body, coats, hats (if they wear them), large sacks, and occasionally down their bras and pants. Sometimes, a toon (especially less organized ones) can lose track of their things and when searching, throws out everything else they have on them before finally finding said item.

It doesn't have to be a hat, they will wear any kind of head covering. Though said toons are always seen wearing the same (or at least identical) headgear, exeptions can be made and they will wear different headgear, the point is that this character is never seen bare-headed. This gives them a certain mystique since while it might just be that they wear the hat because they feel like it, the fact remains that we never learn what their hatless head looks like. Sometimes, these toons wear their hat tilted in a way that hides their eyes from others without a shadow, or The hat casts a shadow that makes their eyes invisible, though in either case, the toon can still see perfectly. This does not apply to all toons.
