Toon Physiology (Looney Tunes)

==Introduction==
Toons are creatures that are created from drawings on paper the universe of Looney Tunes. In the modern day, most of them serve as actors, the best known working at Warner Bros studios. They have a unique physiology that allows them to perform wacky and zany feats without any repercussions. Toons operate under a universal energy system known as "cartoon physics" or otherwise known as "cartoon logic". This gives them a wide variety of ways they can use and abuse abilities for the sake of comedy. Each toon in the verse utilizes this via a "Looney" or "Toony" substance inside of them, which exists inside even humans. Without this substance, they become normal. 
==Low Tier Toons==
Lower tier toons are typically very young and not yet ready to star in Warner Bros cartoons. Take the high school attendants of Acme Looniversity for example. They have yet to harness their talents and must learn from the original Looney Tunes as students in their classes. Despite this, there are still talents they possess that any toon are inherently capable of due to the nature of cartoon physics, as well as some that can be achieved through direct usage of this force. It should be noted that while toons should be able to use the latter, not every one will think to use them.
==Inherent Abilities==
*Subjective Reality: Their toon power is at it's base essentially the power of using thought to affect reality. At their very conception, all toons must have the ability to bring themselves to life from a mere drawing on a piece of paper and come to the 3-D world. For example can give every toon the ability to wish upon a star and have that wish come true and Cartoon Physics have the ability to make several seemingly impossible things possible, as long as they believe that they can do it.
*Superhuman Physical Characteristics and Statistics Amplification: Cartoon Physics give a toon the strength necessary to survive fatal injuries and perform feats that wouldn't be possible in realityTiny Toon Adventures S2E6: Cartoon Physics. It is explained that performing feats such as the Roadrunner breaking through a solid steel plate and defying physics in the process is done through the sheer belief that he can do it. It should be noted that toons as actors are required to endure pain and take damage in order to gain laughs, so their power level should vary depending on circumstance and what they believe they can do, thus their powers can fluctuate, disproving the idea of outliers.
*Aura and Reactive Evolution: One's looniness takes the form of a spirit-like entity that represents their sense of humor, and can assume physical form if separated from the user. This looniness inside of them gives them the power to perform their toon force powers and even resist other abilities depending on their level of looniness. Toons are able to grow resistances through bettering their looniness through skill. For example, after attending Looniversity, Hamton was able to revert out of petrification himself, even while fragmented, when his Season 1 self was unable to and higher tiers like the Warners were even able to build up resistances to the Conductor's control over the plot. If removed, they will be left normal until reunited with the user.
*Breaking the Fourth Wall: All toons have the capability to break the fourth wall and use this for a variety of ways. Even at their very conception, they are capable of speaking to the animator.
*Self-Sustenance (Type 1): Toons have shown that they are capable of breathing perfectly fine in space, water, and even a void where the universe has ceased to be.
*Reality Warping and Darkness Manipulation: All toons, no matter how experienced they are with toon force, are able to warp their surrounding reality to fit some sort of joke, even able to reduce their background to pitch darkness, as a toon like Babs Bunny was able to do this despite only being brought into existence seconds ago.
*Physics Manipulation, Law Manipulation and Logic Manipulation: Cartoon Physics, as the name implies, can allow a toon to completely ignore the rules of real physics and substitute their own wacky and nonsensical logic. As far back as the old days, cartoon physics are cited to make "anything possible". One common usage of this is to stop things before they fall or simply ignore their own momentum or that of other objects.
*Floating: All toons are able to walk on thin air, as long as they don't look downTiny Toon Adventures S1E6: Her Wacky Highness.
*Regeneration (High-Godly): In Cartoon Physics, if the recipient gets reduced to ash or char, they can simply reconstruct themselves and appear "virtually undamaged". They are even able to recover their complete physical forms after they have been erased or their spirit or information is destroyed. If they are unable to regenerate conventionally after a full erasure, they can regain their forms and youth from the memories and laughter of others. 
*Immersion: Toons can pop in and out of drawings, paintings, television screens, theater movies and pages. Alternatively, they can grab people from TV, even if they are broadcasting live, and bring them to their location through the screen. Their reflections can also exit the surface they're on, and the toons can interact with their own reflections. They can move into an already in-progress cartoon to interact with a character.
*Dimensional Manipulation: All toons begin as a 2-D drawing and become 3-dimensional once they leap off their pages and come into the real worldAnimaniacs S1E1: De-Zanitized/The Monkey Song/Nighty-Night Toon. Even while on a 2-D drawing, they have the ability to extend their powers to a 3-D space and exit it.
*Cloth Manipulation: Even at their conception, toons can instantly change clothes, even that of others.
*Instinctive Action: Toons are shown to be capable of acting without a brain, even if dead and fossilized.
*Hammerspace and Summoning: Toons can grab virtually any weapon or prop they need from Hammerspace. Yakko states that from a bag, he can pull out "most anything imaginable"Animaniacs S1E3: H.M.S. Yakko/Slappy Goes Walnuts/Yakko's Universe. Alternatively, they can pull a string and summon any weapon necessary. They can also summon objects to fall from the sky.
*Body Control, Transformation, self-Temperature Manipulation, and Shapeshifting: Toons can manipulate the properties of their body all for the sake of "funny gags". In Looniversity, young toons learn to harness this through the art of "Wild Takes", which are used to over-exaggerate their emotions and hence are controlled through them. They can even manipulate the heat of their own body to the point where they can incinerate themselves as Bugs Bunny demonstrates. As Bugs teaches the "basics" course of Wild Takes, this is considered a feat accomplishable by students. However, this has its limitations. A less experienced user of Wild Takes may have difficulty accomplishing more advanced variations or even getting out of their wacky transformationsTiny Toon Adventures S1E39: Inside Plucky Duck.
*Non-Physical Interaction: Toons are able to interact with thoughts, whether they be their own or someone else's, as well as incorporeal ghosts and smoke.
*Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8), Invulnerability, Incorporeality and Self-Resurrection: Toons can survive just about anything, regardless of the pain it might inflict usually. They can reconstruct their body if reduced to char. Cartoons are different from regular humans and cannot be truly hurt conventionally unless by directly ripping apart the "paper" they're on, which seems only marginally effective at best, as the toon this was shown to work on regenerated from the rip just seconds afterwardsTiny Toon Adventures S1E34: The Wide World of Elmyra and toons are shown to exist independently of their paper or story otherwiseAnimaniacs (2020) S2E7: Yakko Amakko/The Longest Word/Happy Narfday/Magna Cartoon. They are shown to be able to function with their head separated from their bodies, among other body partsAnimaniacs S1E54: Brain Meets Brawn/Meet Minerva. Even after being fully erased, they can still exist as a bodiless voice before regenerating. Toons are also shown to be, ultimately, invulnerable, despite showcasing damage for comedic effect, as someone like Yakko claims that he is impervious to physical damage. According to Slappy Squirrel, a cartoon veteran, "nobody gets hurt in cartoons", and no matter the punishment, they will not die, at least not permanentlyAnimaniacs S1E8: The Warner's Lot Song/The Big Candy Store/Bumbie's Mom. Toons have somewhat shown the capacity of dying, but they can just as easily resurrectAnimaniacs (2020) S1E1: Jurassic Lark/Suspended Animation Part 1/Of Mice and Memes/Suspended Animation Part 2. Even when pronounced dead and stuffed and mounted on the wall, they can come back to life as if nothing happenedAnimaniacs (2020) S1E5: Good Warner Hunting/No Brainer/Ralph Cam. Even when buried in the ground, tombstone and all, even over decades, they can still come back. WoG states that nothing can permanently kill Toons on Animaniacs. This is also taking into consideration the fact that a personification of Death exists in their universe and the fact that they can enter and leave Hell at their leisure. Slappy herself seems to be able to simply deny her own death, stating that it's "too easy". It's stated that Toons don't die and just end up on games shows. Even if they do temporarily die, they can still function as ghosts and spirit angels which are able to wake up their bodies after exhaustion and bring themselves back to life. Ghosts are also shown to be able to possess bodies other than their own. As long as people still know of them and laugh at their cartoons somewhere, they can stay eternally youthful and continue to exist, even after being erased to the point that they cannot regenerate. Everyone would have to forget a toon and their cartoons in order for them to fade into obscurity forever, which would include The Animators and Staff characters as well as the audience, who view the Animaniacs multiverse as fiction. In line with this, if a toon becomes "extinct", even over the course of twenty-two years, their creators can simply "reanimate" them. It should be noted that instances in which toons have been shown to die onscreen and exist as ghosts and angels have all been done by their own power to follow the whims of the script as they are actors and are required to take damage or even die for the bit.
==Abilities that can be achieved through Cartoon Physics==
*Broadway Force: Toons are able to use musical numbers to their advantage, causing reality to bend to their song and controlling others and influencing their behavior, movements and voice through music, even if bloodlusted or if they were never alive or conscious to begin with.
*Weather Manipulation: Toons are capable of creating small and large thunderstorms and controlling where they strike.
*Power Mimicry: Toons can replicate the powers of the mythical figures or fictional beings they parody, in addition to other toons themselves. A skilled user can copy a technique after witnessing it just once.
*Elasticity and Air Manipulation: All toons have the ability to pump themselves full of any type of gas in order to inflate themselves just like a balloon. They are also shown to have a most elastic nature, able to extend their limbs to great lengths as well. They can also summon hurricanes and windstorms of all kinds.
*Perception Manipulation: Toons can make it so that their disguises fool their adversaries, no matter how obvious they are or if they break the facade to a degree by attacking them relentlessly to a pulp or being tormented, allowing them susceptibility to believing anything they say or even falling in love. This can even work on robots, even those which are shown to have sensors designed to identify someone specifically.
*Life Manipulation: Toons are able to bring inanimate objects to life to fulfill a function for the user. This can even be weaponized for defense by making projectiles come to life and give up on trying to hit the user.
*Electricity Manipulation: Toons can send out electrical shocks on physical contact or through beams.
*Spatial Manipulation: Toons can physically drag over and pull space. They can also pop out of space at random and pull apart rifts in space, even when the universe has been destroyed. They can create bottomless pits that end up making people fall from the sky when desired. They can even turn space and the people inside it into paper that can be cut. Toons are able to bypass distance using their control over space to grab things based on how close they appear and make that how they actually are. Another common usage of this is having doors end up someplace they naturally wouldn't or making portraits lead to real open space and shutting off that space from others. They can also change the direction of where certain spaces lead to. Through the usage of portable holes, which can be used in a variety of ways.
*Transmutation and Biological Manipulation: Toons can turns things and people into inflatables that can be deflated, even celestial bodies like the moon. They can also turn one's insides hollow so they can open them up like a door and fit inside of them. They can change one's physiology to that of a mime with no control over their invisible walls. They can cause inanimate objects to grow legs. They can turn things into cardboard.
*Plot Manipulation: Toons have the ability to alter the plot of the story they're in and use the fourth wall to their advantage. They can even pull in characters that aren't even supposed to be in an episode and prevent the cartoon from ending or without a punchline. They are also capable of marginally affecting the plot around them, capable of messing with scripts and affecting the actions and placement of other characters in their stories. Scripts have the ability to shape a toon's reality, even an amateur one.
*Telekinesis: Toons are able to halt objects and others in place before they attack them.
*Construction: Toons can construct things absurdly quickly with little resources.
*Text Manipulation: Toons are capable of interacting with subtitles. They can also form the lyrics of a song in real life. By altering the text on a label, they can physically change whatever it is labeling as well as their function. They can also interfere with speech bubbles, changing the speech of someone by doing so.
*Paralysis Inducement: Toons have the ability to freeze their opponent by yelling "stop". This can also be done with a traffic light.
*Pocket Reality Manipulation: All toons should be able to create a 2-D pocket reality like such.
*Soul Manipulation and Purification (Type 2): A toon's ability to make people laugh can purify their souls from a corrupted state. This technique can also exorcise souls and send them back to their original owners. They can also exorcise evil spirits from a victim's body.
*Mind Manipulation: Toons are able to affect the minds of their victims in absurd ways. They can replace the insides of their brain with multiple versions of themselves or make it literal tapioca to decrease their intelligence. They can even affect their own brains to make themselves think like someone else.
*Teleportation and BFR: Toons can teleport themselves and their opponents wherever they'd like and change the location of the scene on a whim with screen transitions. They can also use screen transitions to teleport others wherever they would like. They can even teleport themselves and other things inside of objects and people.
*Sound Manipulation: Toons have the ability to cause things to emit sounds they normally wouldn't, such as a hand or a bell making a telephone ring. Toons are also able to create sounds that can damage those around them and even paralyze them.
*Possession: Toons can physically enter the bodies of others and mess with them from the inside. Also possible as ghosts.
*Telepathy and Dream Manipulation: Toons can see others' thoughts in the form of thought bubbles and even interact with them. They are also capable of looking into dreams. Alternatively, toons can actually appear in and affect others' dreams and physically exit to become real. Once inside one, they can even turn dreams into nightmares.
*Intangibility: Toons can assume the forms of ghosts and lightning bolts.
*Technology Manipulation: Toons can cause things that would affect a human to affect technology as though it could suffer those same effects, causing them to malfunction and break down. Toons can allow technology that's not even theirs to do whatever they want.
*Self-Destruction and Explosion Manipulation: Toons can cause themselves to explode though this does no damage to themselves. They can also turn other things into bombs.
*Enhanced Subjective Reality: Their ability to bring fictional things into reality also extends to other drawings or pieces of fiction as wellAnimaniacs S1E6: Flipper Parody/Temporary Insanity/Operation: Lollipop/What are We?. Making paintings of tunnels that become real is part of a standard Looniversity courseTiny Toon Adventures S3E1: Thirteensomething. All toons have the ability to create a physical manifestation of their "joke" that can be "killed" if no one deems it funny, and likewise brought back to life once it is considered funny. They can grab objects from pictures and make them physical or even making something fake real, by turning something real into something fake like cardboardAnimaniacs S1E46: Turkey Jerky/Wild Blue Yonder. By simply imagining something, what they think will happen to a recipient. Toons are also capable of interacting with and making real things from their own thoughts. If they are able to grab ahold of a drawing tool, they are able to make their drawings come to life and affect the person they're drawn on to the point where they are no longer in control of themselves.
*Enhanced Breaking the Fourth Wall: They can also use this ability to take advantage of the staff outside the fourth wall, causing them to freeze a character in time, rewind time, create animated things for them, move the story along quicker, and even send a copyright claim to remove a character from the plot.
==Low Tier Resistances==
Thanks to Cartoon Physics, toons are able to shake off a good variety of things that would leave the average human completely incapacitated.
*Electricity Manipulation: As shown in Bugs Bunny's demonstration to his class, toons are able to take a heavy dosage of electricity, enough to reduce someone to char, and with a simple zip, is shown to be unaffected.
*Pain Manipulation: All toons have a very high sense of pain tolerance to the point where they can take a great amount of damage or have their body parts removed and they still will show no sense of pain from it. This can be inconsistent as they must show pain at points for the sake of a joke.
*Gravity Manipulation: Toons are unaffected by gravity.
*Fate Manipulation and Plot Manipulation: Toons are able to appear in episodes they're not supposed to be in. They are also capable of frequently leaving even destroying the cartoon they're in with no adverse effects, when a non-toon would cease to be without their program. A toon can go against something bad happening to them in the plot if they please, even if it was shown before to be inevitable or outright changing the ending themselves, even if the point of the story is that they are supposed to lose. Even if the animators themselves have stopped working on the project or the project itself no longer exists, they can still function.
*Acid Manipulation: Toons are unaffected by acid.
*Age Manipulation: Toons are unable to age because of their nature. And on the chance that they do, they can revert back at their leisure, or by simply being remembered.
*Physics Manipulation, Law Manipulation and Logic Manipulation: Toons are able to ignore laws of physics and logic with their cartoon physics.

==Mid Tier Toons==
Mid-Tier Toons are toons that are above the standard of Looniversity Students, or gifted students that go above and beyond what is desired of them in terms of cartoon logic mastery. Typically toons of these caliber are good enough to star in their own cartoons, such as a good majority of the Animaniacs cast. However, despite this, they can still show limitations in their mastery over comedy and can fall prey to the tricks of higher tier toons. They are granted abilities such as:
*Advanced Wild Takes (Hair Manipulation, enhanced Body Control, Transformation, Size Manipulation and Shapeshifting, and Enhanced Self-Resurrection): Toons on this tier are capable of a more advanced form of Wild Takes. As demonstrated by Minerva Mink, Wild Takes have the ability to make certain parts of the user's body longer, turn their hair electrical, melt themselves and reform, shapeshift into a train whistle, and form multiple heads. They can even increase their size to extreme heights. They are also capable of more advanced shapeshifting techniques like Slappy being able to shapeshift into a missile as well as different animals. Daffy, a wild take instructor, demonstrates using this to grow two new heads and change the color of his body. Even if the toon is completely dead and without skin, a brain or any working organs, a Wild Take can cause them to resurrect and animate.
*Time Travel: Toons learn in Looniversity to control flashbacks, allowing them to move backwards or forwards in time and bring others with them.Tiny Toon Adventures S1E36: Animaniacs.
*Accelerated Development: Toons can instantly learn new skills on the fly by skimming a "How To" book, no matter how supernatural.
*Duplication: These toons are able to duplicate themselves freely.
*Fusionism: Toons can fuse together with duplicates of themselves or other beings.
*Sealing: Toons at this level can seal others inside of objects, panels, or even films.
*Supernatural Charisma: These toons possess a supernatural charisma that allows them to instantly win over and trick even their enemies, making them act dumber and proceed with obviously detrimental decisions, sometimes without even realizing it. Their charisma can sometimes act as borderline mind control, able to make people do whatever they say or stop even bloodlust opponents. Sometimes all it takes is a sign or just a written word on a piece of paper to get them to stop. Even something as simple as a clap can make people do as they're told.
*Existence Erasure: These toons are capable of manipulating physics to allow the complete erasure of things, by use of a pencil, a loose string on someone, or a mere poke. They can even erase themselves just for fun.
*Supernatural Luck and Probability Manipulation: These toons can sometimes gain a protagonist-like luck that allows them to get exactly what they need to get out of a situation in completely absurd ways or cause bad luck to those who have wronged them, even if they are oblivious to it. Some variations are so strong they can cause attacks to completely miss the target and overcome odds that have been calculated to be "mathematically impossible". This would only apply to mid-tiers who are shown to be protagonists, as antagonists are frequently shown to be overwhelmed with this kind of luck.
*Data Manipulation: These Toons can manipulate and create data, even able to make a hologram as real as the physical thing.
*Power and Attack Nullification and Modification: They have the power to make powers, weapons,, traps, attacks, or even machinery completely fail or backfire on others, working in a different way than intended, or only working on the one that used it.
==Mid Tier Resistances==
These toons are able to resist effects at a higher level than a Low Tier.
*Fragrance Manipulation, Fear Manipulation, Poison Manipulation, Sleep Manipulation, and Petrification: These Toons are able to resist and be around Pepe Le Pew's stench without suffering its adverse effects, merely making them disoriented for a short time instead. Characters like Sylvester are not affected in the slightest. Said stench can drive many creatures and humans to extreme amounts of fear, even if they are not alive, causes plants and animals to die, knocks them out instantaneously, and petrifies them. Even Toons like Freakazoid are able to resist petrification in other methods.
*Heat Manipulation: These Toons are able to resist conditions that would normally cause them to melt.

==High Tier Toons==
This tier reserved for toons who have all but mastered the art of cartoon logic to an art. These kinds of toons have skill even above that of Mid Tier Toons and are able to turn them into punchlines and recipients of their cartoon hijinks. Because of their immense amount of skill, they are able to bypass limitations to certain abilities that Mid Tiers are restricted by and expand their horizons into brand new abilities as well, such as:
*Enhanced Floating/Flight/Surface Scaling and Gravity Manipulation: Toons on this tier are exempt to the limitations of walking on thin air, as they are capable of floating while looking down, while others cannot as well as walk on invisible walls. They are also capable of applying gravity to others and having it not affect them in the slightest, even if it doesn't make sense for it to in that context.
*Cosmic Awareness: These toons are capable of noticing, contacting, and interacting with the Creation World, which is unable to be perceived by lesser toons. They can also use this contact in order to call higher-dimensional staff to assist them.
*Further Enhanced Size Manipulation: These toons have the ability to alter the size of others.
*Enhanced Dimensional Manipulation and Plot Manipulation: These toons are able to reach beyond their cartoon into the 5-D creation world and interact with people and constructs as though they were 3-D, capable of reducing their dimensionality to 3-D once inside as well. While inside this creation world, their toon physics are amplified to an even greater degree, allowing for simple things like broadway force to control the plot of an episode and using special tools to manipulate the cartoon's reality. Even a lesser 2-D toon with this kind of power can completely change the plot of their medium and ascend two dimensions higher than they were before.
==High Tier Resistances==
*Power Absorption, Power Nullification and Sealing: A High-Tier Toon's power, their "tooniness", is too powerful to be absorbed, nullified, and sealed, as it would a Low Tier Toon, and if this is attempted, it will force the thing absorbing it to explode and send it back to it's original owner.
*Transmutation: These Toons can brush off the effects of transmutation, or simply allow the thing causing it to fail.
*Mind Manipulation: These toons are not susceptible to , while lesser toons like Sylvester and Coyote are.
*Telepathy: Their minds are too zany to be properly read by telepaths, and will result in driving them mad.
*Empathic Manipulation: A toon like Bugs is to having his , something a Low Tier toon like Season 1 Babs or a Mid Tier like Daffy are susceptible to.
