Toonopolis Fighting World

Theme: “Everybody to the Limit” by Strong Bad [[ link ]]

Description: Ethan’s just your typical 15 year old guy. He’s average height, and average weight, so he really wouldn’t stand out in a crowd. He’s got blond hair, blue eyes, and I guess you say the ladies find him “cute”. Following cartoon law, Ethan wears the same thing every day. A black T-shirt, a blue track jacket, khaki cargo pants, sneakers, and a blue baseball cap.

Attitude: The one word that best describes Ethan would have to be…”naïve”. Or Ethan. Either one, really. When he’s not drawing, he’s terribly friendly, and will make friends with just about anyone he comes in contact with. Because he doodles frequently, he could be classified as kind of an outsider. He’s terrible at sports, even the mere idea of physical activity makes him short of breath. He’s also not that smart, either. So, he spends most of his time with a pencil and paper drawing up ideas and cartoons.

Strengths: Ethan has a huge imagination, and the pencil can never break, wear, or dull.

Weaknesses: Well, if Ethan losses the pencil, then he has lost his only defense. Also, what’s any 15 year old boy’s weakness? Girls.

Finishing Move: The Eraser [If Ethan has done a good enough job that his opponent leaves themselves open to attack, Ethan will use the other side of his trusty pencil and erase his opponent completely, leaving them incapacitated.]

Origin: Ethan Jones’ great Uncle Chuck was a legendary animator. At least, that`s what the newspapers said after he died. When Ethan’s great Uncle Chuck began to get old and frail, he eagerly wanted an heir to take over where his legacy left off. Unfortunately, all of Ethan’s other relatives resented being related to an animator, and had taken white-collar jobs in the plastic industry. Ethan seemed to be the only heir left.

When Ethan went to visit his great Uncle Chuck on his deathbed, his Uncle gave Ethan a magical pencil.

“This pencil will draw anything you can imagine”, said Chuck. “It’ll make anything you draw come to life.”

Ethan laughed at his Uncle as he gave him the pencil. He laughed so hard that he bent over and unhooked the life-support system that was keeping his great Uncle alive. Uncle Chuck died instantly.

The same night that he has received the pencil, Ethan thought that he should at least *try* to honor his great Uncle’s wishes, so he sat down with his best friend and creative consultant, Gideon and began to draw. Nothing he drew that night looked that great, let alone came alive. In frustration, Ethan swirled the pencil around on a piece of paper. To his surprise, the swirl became an inter-dimensional portal, and swept him and Gideon away into the Tooniverse.

Needing food and money once he and Gideon wound up in Toonopolis, Ethan promptly enrolled in the TFW, thinking it stood for “Totally Free Wieners”, not knowing what challenges would await them, or something.

Once he found out that there were no free wieners, and that quitting involved a lot of paperwork, he warmed up to the idea, and gave himself what he thought was a cool name: “The Animator”. Over time his drawing skills improved, and now he can draw many things that come to life and can potentially aid him in a fight.
