Character Description

Seamus is a large black gorilla who, for reasons that aren't worth explaining, believes himself to be a leprechaun. He dresses the part, speaks with a rather disconcerting Irish accent, and certainly seems to have a leprechaun's luck. Perhaps unsurprisingly he is rather gullible, but if he does catch on that someone is trying to trick or take advantage of him, he gets mad easily. And you don't want him to be mad.

Commentary

I don't think I've played Toon since I was 10 or so, but writing up this character really makes me want to give it a go. You can be literally anything you want, and if you're not sure the book has plenty of suggestions (ranging from standards like cats, dogs, and humans to such options as were-penguins, toasters, and science-fiction writers (yes, the book lists that as a species, not an occupation)).
