❓TOONIX FAQ

Q: Can my Toonix be my original character (OC)?

A: No. Toonix identities are based on pre-existing characters, not original creations.

Q: Can I be two characters at once?

A: Generally, no. A Toonix typically aligns with one core source character at a time.While your experiences may vary, your core identity remains consistent across lives and forms. Claiming multiple simultaneous identities is typically not recognized unless you are a DID/OSDD system, in which case different headmates may align with different characters. For singlets, embodying more than one character at once is not considered feasible, being Toonix.

Q: Can a Toonix come from non-rubberhose styles (e.g., modern, anime, 3D, etc.)?

A: Yes. While many are rubberhose-style, Toonixes can come from any animation style or medium.

Q: Can my source be from unofficial media of an official character (like AUs, comic dubs, fan series)?

A: Yes. Alternate universes and unofficial adaptations are valid sources if they strongly resonate with your Toonix identity.

Q: What makes Toonix different from Fictionkin?

A: Toonix differs from Fictionkin in several key ways:1. Number of Identities: Toonix individuals typically identify with one specific animated character for life, whereas Fictionkin can encompass multiple identities from various fictional media.2. Type of Source: Toonix is exclusively tied to animated media, such as cartoons, while Fictionkin can originate from any fictional medium, including books, films, games, and more.3. Character Scope: Toonix focuses on a single, preexisting cartoon character, whereas Fictionkin can include both specific named characters and general fictitious species without a single set identity.4. Lifetime Continuity: A Toonix identity remains consistent as the same character across all lifetimes, though adaptations may vary. In contrast, Fictionkin identities can change, multiply, or differ between reincarnations.5. Relation to Species Identity: Toonix is centered around the exact character, with species being secondary. For Fictionkin, many focus on their identification with a species rather than just one character.6. Dysphoria Focus: Dysphoria for Toonix individuals tends to be experienced through the stylized form of their cartoon character, while for Fictionkin, it may relate to more subtle traits associated with humanoid forms.7. Shifts: Both groups may experience shifts in thoughts or mannerisms, but for Toonix, these shifts often occur between different versions of their character, while Fictionkin might find their shifts reflect a broader range of identities across various fictional realms.
