Get the toronto maple leafs mug.A toon is a synonym for a character in a video game that is a role-playing game, usually used only in the context of Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Games (MMORPG), such as World of Warcraft.
Character, avatar, or toon are synonyms in this context.
(Avatar is a misnomer, however.)
In role-playing games, a great deal of effort is spent in creating a unique persona or character before play begins. During character generation, the player makes choices that will affect the gameplay, such as appearance, name, gender, race, and class. Once created, these characteristics are immutable, as they define the play experience. The selection of class determines the strategies the character will use to succeed.
In short, Role-playing games have great replay value because a player can re-experience the game using a new character or toon.
ETYMOLOGY
Toon is presumably a contracted form of cartoon; video game characters are animated, after all. The origin of this term can be attributed to the standard root of all leetspeak (internet jargon): a need for efficiency for lazy typists.
Toon is probably used because it is shorter and easier to type than the word character. Anyone familiar with these games can easily surmise the meaning of the term from context. Furthermore, the term avatar is avoided as it can possibly create confusion. In roleplaying games, avatar also refers to the incarnation of a deity.

Get the Toon mug.Related Words
When your success in life depends on whether you are worshipping your problem or God—you need to put Him on the throne, while taking down your negatives, fears, bad breaks, or offenses off the throne—there is room only for one up there.
Don’t give your educational or financial lack, debt, or cancer the permission to be on your throne; instead, keep them off the throne, because the key to allowing or stopping God’s reign over your life is: “Who’s on your throne?”

Get the throning mug.toronto is the capital city of ontario and the largest city in canada. there are a lot of homeless people, so i suggest locking your doors while driving or carrying a baseball bat in your backpack. it's a beautiful city with a lot of fun and exciting things to do. it's a very cultural place as well, with so many different people and nationalities mixing in one place. the surrounding cities have been swallowed up by toronto, and now it is being called 'the greater area of toronto' or something because it's so large. contrary to so many people's opinions on here, toronto does not think it's american, nor does it act american. i suggest staying away from lake ontario, though, because the americans have polluted it beyond recognition; it produces dead animals instead of fun times, now. toronto is home to the toronto maple leafs and the toronto blue jays, both amazing sports teams who deserve less mockery. if you're going to toronto, i suggest visiting niagara-on-the-lake (because it's cute and you can sit in the grass without worrying about sitting on a syringe), st. catharines (because it's home to the pen centre, which kicks the west edminton mall's ass), and i guess niagara falls (only because then you can answer those stupid surveys with a yes when they ask you if you've been there). it's really hot in toronto during the winter, like forty degrees celcius, and in the winter it's not too cold. the area is protected by the niagara greenbelt so not many snow storms hit.
