I just referred to them as main or alt always. Toon did sound cringey as hell, but it did make sense considering how cartoonish WoW looked.

Whoever says toon instead of character is a wussy. Some idiots even use it to describe a single player game. Most recently some idiot used it to talk about Kassandra from AC Odyssey as their toon.

Never played WoW but I have seen this on very rare occasions. Where did this actually originate from? Was it a Toontown thing?

That term predates WoW. People used to say it in Everquest

It's used in all mmos I think

Definitely wasn't a Runescape thing. Most people only had one character then alternate characters were just "pures" as they specialized in one thing only.

Pretty sure it's a shortening of "platoon", although everquest is the only early mmo I can think of that allowed multiple characters on one account.

I didn't like calling them "toons" so for example if I were playing with a friend and needed to swap to an alt I would refer to them by class or by what profession they had.

"brb swapping to my rogue" "brb jumping on leatherworker alt"

I don't think that's a WoW only thing. I remember "toon" being used in EQ1. It just wasn't popular.
