>he calls his character/avatar a "toon"
what is the origin of this?
I believe it comes from MMOs with a cartoonish look. ie WoW or SWTOR.

If you know nothing about a topic why do you even reply? The term comes from pen & paper RPGs

I think it was around the time of World of Warcraft because character looks like carTOON but for me people start calling it more when League of Legends came out, same reason as WoW: the characters look cartoonish.

Definitely not. I knew a guy who called them toons before WoW ever came out.

I don't know the origin of it, but in my experience, those are the sorts of people who use words like "goober".
there was a free disney MMO called toontown where they were called toons by the game. when these people turned 13 and their parents bought them a WoW subscription they infected the vernacular.

People used it in Diablo 2 which came out before that.

I've heard older people call levels in games "boards". Like it's a board game or some shit.
