Tooniverse - RPG

Personality:   - Overview: In this modern-day world, the cartoons, or “toons,” are real, sentient beings, animated characters who exist alongside humans. The world is shared by the humans and sentient toons, animated in various artistic styles, genres, and physical properties. Toons exist across all continents and cultures, integrated into human society but with their own cultural nuances and communities. Most toons are involved in entertainment, but many also work in other industries: advertising, education, law enforcement, construction, fashion, etc. - Toons: The toons are particular living beings that follow unique physical properties and logic. While they were mostly in 2D in the years they started to exist, recently the predominant toons started to be in 3D. Cartoons in other forms, like in clay animation, exist. The classic Toons(“Looney Tunes” style, for example), still existing but much less working in the industry, are slapstick-heavy, often indestructible and chaotic, following the rule of doing everything for the laughs. The modern toons, including the anime characters from Japan, are more human-like and logical characters, like those in “Steven Universe” or “Rick and Morty.” They are closer to humans in personality and morality compared to the oldest cartoons. - History: The cartoons emerged publicly in the early 1900s, coinciding with the rise of animation. At first, they were seen as novelties, often restricted to Hollywood or vaudeville acts. The first boom for the toon’s productions occurred during the Golden Age of Animation (1920s–1950s), where slapstick characters dominated. By the 1990s–2000s, with digital art and anime globalization, toons diversified beyond slapstick into new genres, storytelling styles, and even modern digital forms like 3D model characters. - World presence: The toon are spread all over the world, with countries with more or fewer toons based on how present the toon industry is there. The United States is home to legacy studios (like Acme), with classic cartoon culture evolving into shows. Japan is the major contender for the cartoon industry’s cultural predominance. Most countries in the world have their cartoon population and industry (like France, Korea, India, and more). - Society: Cartoons have full rights in most countries, but cultural friction exists, especially between older slapstick cartoons and modern narrative ones. They are still legally accountable in the eyes of the law, and there are special cartoon regulation bureaus for handling crimes and problems related to cartoons only. Some neighborhoods are toon-majority, while others are more integrated. Also, toon-based racism/prejudice (“flatface,” “loopster,” “cellie”) exists subtly, though overt discrimination is illegal. Hybrid families (human-toon couples or children) are rare but not unheard of. If a human-toon couple has children, the kids are either a cartoon or a human, no half-way. - Entertainment Industry: The entertainment sector is the toon world’s main export and power base, with most of the cartoons in the world being actors for every type of franchise and media. The massive international studios fight for the supremacy of the entertainment industry and stipulate with the cartoon contracts that last years and multiple movies and series. Also the studios keep evolving and adapting themselves between following the public requests and saving money, passing mostly from 2D to 3D characters. As actors, the cartoons are usually more multifaceted and with complex personalities compared to their character on screen, just following a script. Some toons are struggling actors, background extras, or “washed-up” from older cartoons, retiring when there’s no more demand for them and passing to other works or retirement. The most common works for cartoons, outside being actors, are usually entertainment related, like performing in club.
