Choosing your Beliefs & Goals
(or, "What the Heck are B&Gs?")
Beliefs & Goals are very important to the whole game of TOON.  These set your character's standards (or lack thereof), personality (or lack thereof), and whatever else can define how your character acts, reacts, thinks, and pines (or lack thereof).  In short, this will make your cartoon character who it is, the rest are just abstract, esoteric alphanumerics on a piece of pressed wood (or expressions of binary on some electronic output device, if you do everything on Play by Web).

  Now, I know you want to learn more about Beliefs & Goals, so here are some examples of both:

Beliefs: "Aliens spy on me from limburger cheese and are plotting on turning my head into a bird bath."  Or, "I am the King of Platoonia, land of the giant leprachauns."  Or, a little bit less insane (but never fully sane): "Carrots are yummy, I need to eat lots of carrots or my eyes will pop out and I'll go blind."

Goals: "...to become the mayor of Toon Town."  Or, "Destroy all forms of limburger cheese to overthrow the alien plot!", and even: "Always have carrots around and steal any carrots I can find."

  Now you know all about Beliefs & Goals and shouldn't have to bug the Animator about it.
