Welcome, Jumper, to Los Angeles.

Here, cartoon
characters- such as Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny- work as
actors and entertainers, producing the classic cartoons
that we all know and love. These cartoon characters- called
“Toons”- live in their own part of town, which is fittingly
named “Toontown”. But all is not right, and very soon
events will transpire that threaten the very existence of
Toons. Greed, Patty Cake, murder all threaten to bring
Toontown to its knees. In a few days, one Eddie Valiant
will be commissioned by R.K. Maroon, head of Maroon
Cartoons, to investigate Roger Rabbit’s wife; Jessica
Rabbit, a sensual Toon who dances at the Ink & Paint Club.
Will you assist Eddie Valiant in his mission, or will you
ensure the destruction of Toontown? Maybe you’ll do
neither. But in any case…
Here’s 1,000 CP to help you get situated.
 Origins
Roll 2d8+18 for your age. Gender stays the same; you can
pay 50 CP to change both.
Drop In (0 CP): You know the drill; no new memories or a history in this
world. You start outside of the ACME factory, where cartoon props and gag
items like disappearing-reappearing ink are made.

Drop In-Toon (300 CP): That’s… different. You’re a Toon now, but you
don’t have any new memories or a history. You might be able to get a job at
Disney or Warner Bros if you’re funny enough. You might also be able to
get your own strip in the funny pages, if it’s the non-moving cartoons you
like. You start out somewhere in Toontown.

Detective (0 CP): You’re a dick! I mean, you’re a private investigator.

You’re a half-way decent people person, and you have a few connections
around town that’ll help you find work. You start out in an office/apartment
somewhere downtown.

Toon (300 CP): Toons, to you, are cartoon characters; here, they’re more
along the lines of an ethnic minority. They possess abilities that defy all
logic and explanation, but fortunately most are nice, if a little eccentric.
Mostly. You start out on the set of your latest cartoon, just as everyone is
wrapping up for the day.

Deputy-Judge (0/300 CP): You’re Judge Doom’s partner in crime law.

While you’re not necessarily as evil nice as he is, it’s obvious that he’s
rubbed off on you, in a bad way but not in a bad way. You start out in your
office somewhere near Toontown. For an extra 300 CP, there’s something…
off about you. Funny, even. I might even go as far as to describe it as
cartoonish, if you catch my drift.
 Perks
He’s A Toon (Free for Drop In-Toons, Toons, and Judges who
payed for their Origin): You have a Toon alt-form of your own design; it
could be an animal, a human, or something stranger, so long as it’s roughly
the size of a human. Toons are significantly more durable than humans; in
fact, the only thing that can really harm them (that is commonly known) is
Dip, a combination of turpentine, acetone, and benzene which burns
through Toons like acid, killing them in a matter of seconds. Toons are also
capable of strange, almost magical things like pulling objects out of
nowhere, absurd feats of strength, agility, durability, and comedy, as well as
many other inhuman abilities. Some Toons say that they can do pretty
much anything as long as it’s funny… unfortunately for you, you’re not one
of them. While you’re here you’ll enjoy the full benefits of being a Toon-
minus fun based reality warping- but afterwards you’ll be significantly less
durable. The full extent of your abilities will be outlined in the notes section.

Disney’s Dexterity (100 CP, free Drop In)- Like the famous cartoonist
himself, you have great skill in artistic endeavors- particularly those
involving the pen, pencil, and brush. Your style is distinct and usually
pleasing to the eye.

Speech Balloons (100 CP, free Drop In-Toon)- Like a comic strip,
you can “speak” with speech balloons. Whenever you want, you can talk
with speech balloons; making no noise and causing a speech balloon to
appear above your head with what you would’ve said in them. They
disappear after a while- unless something tries to interact with them, in
which case they might react in unexpected, random ways (shattering,
stretching to avoid being touched, growing wings and flying away, etc.)
With time, you can learn to change what font you use, what color your text
is, and even “say” pictures.

Patience (100 CP, free Detective)- You’ve got the patience of a saint;
your temperament won’t affect your decisions as much as it might’ve before,
and it’s very hard for you to get bored or frustrated.
Make Em’ Laugh! (100 CP, free Toon)- You’re a funny guy, aintcha?
Not only that, but you’re a natural at acting and performing. Getting a job
here is just a matter of going to the auditions.

Judge (100 CP, free Deputy-Judge)- A natural aura of authority seems

to call attention to you, letting others know of your status and authority
when they see you- so long as you don’t try and hide your identity.

Maroon’s Mind (300 CP, discount Drop In)- You seem to have the
touch of Midas; pretty much any business you run, barring excessive
outside influence, seems to run smoothly, efficiently, and more importantly,
profitably.

I’m Not Bad, I’m Just Drawn That Way (300 CP, discount Drop
In-Toon)- AWOOOGA! When you walk into the room, eyes go wide as
saucers; when you so much as glance at someone they go beet red, steam
shooting out of their ears. Point is, you’re drop dead gorgeous.

Bouncing Off The Walls (300 CP, discount Detective)- All

detectives need to be quick on their feet; you, however, are especially fleet
of foot and mind. You’re skilled at improvisation and acting quickly,
including adapting the mannerisms of others, letting you blend in or mime
others more easily.

P-p-p-please? (300 CP, discount Toon)- People just can’t bring

themselves to stay mad at you. Sure, they still might want to kill you if
you’ve really ticked them off, but so long as you don’t go too far they’ll
forgive you sooner rather than later.

Jury (300 CP, discount Deputy-Judge)- Though others may recognize

your authority, some malcontents may require further persuasion to bring
to justice. Fortunately, you seem to have a certain rapport with individuals
of a… questionable nature that allows you to recruit their aid more readily.

Acme’s Art (600 CP, discount Drop In)- You’ve learned the secrets to
creating Toon props! Things like portable holes, disappearing-reappearing
ink, and more can be created by your hand. Eventually, you may learn to
breathe life into your creations- creating Toons in their own right.
Stunt Double (600 CP, discount Drop In-Toon)- A curious ability;
you’ve learned to create your own stunt doubles, which are pretty much
exact copies of your body with their own mind. While you can have only one
active at a time, they retain your physical attributes and any Toon abilities
(with the exception of this one) and are absolutely loyal to you.

A Toon Killed My Brother (600 CP, discount Detective)- It seems

like fate just seems to stack the deck in your favor when it comes to finding
and getting revenge on those who’ve hurt you and yours. You’ll find their
identity in bizarre strokes of luck, even when you’re doing something
completely different, and when the confrontation finally happens you’ll find
that this same luck will keep you safe while putting them in peril.

Toon Physicist (600 CP, discount Toon)- Toons play fast and loose
with physics, and while you still haven’t reached their full potential, or
might not necessarily even be a Toon, you’ve learned a pretty useful trick;
you can selectively make objects or willing people (or people you don’t want
to harm) take on the physical properties of your body, such as stretchiness
or durability. Using stretchiness as an example, you could make your
clothes stretch with you, or stuff someone into a glove box. While they’re
under such an effect, they get a lesser form of Toon Physics that helps them
survive what you put them through, and as long as you’re close by it will
continue. To go with the earlier example, if you left the area where the
person in the glove box was, rather than being compacted they’d pop out
like a Jack-in-the-box; a little woozy and sore, but not crushed to a pulp.

Executioner (600 CP, discount Deputy-Judge)- So long as you come

from a position of authority, and don’t harm their friends, family, or
property, others look the other way when you’re around. They might
declare that they can’t watch when you dip someone in acid, but they won’t
actually stop you. Of course, this has a few limits; if you just start
indiscriminately massacring people, or if someone finds that you’re going to
drop nukes to start WWIII or something of a similar nature, they’ll
probably object or try and stop you. This also has little effect on those with
no respect for authority; vigilantes and the like. If you abuse this leeway too
much you’ll have a mob or the law coming after you.
 Items
Jumpchain: The Animated Series (0/50 CP)- You have a large
collection of animated films, cartoon series and animated shorts based off
of your adventures; the details (such as animation style, voice actors,
accuracy, content, etc.) are mostly up to you. You can even have multiple
interpretations of the same story, if that’s what you’d like. You get new ones
after each completed Jump. You can also get this for free… but they’ll all be
unsorted and unlabeled, which means you’ll have to watch them all to
figure out which each one is.

Paycheck (50 CP)- You get 5,000 big ones, or the equivalent amount in
Simmoleons, every month for the entirety of your stay here.

Minibar (50 CP)- A bar is built into your Warehouse, from which you
may access infinite amounts of alcohol of middling levels of quality.

Quality Art Supplies (50 CP)- You’ve got a ton of high quality art
supplies; brushes, paints, pens, pencils, canvas, paper and more.
Replenishes as you use them.

Cartoon Camera (50 CP)- Not just any camera; this camera takes
normal video and makes it look a cartoon. Can record in any artstyle you
want.

Booby Trap (50 CP)- A cartoon bear trap that has the unusual property
of being able to fit anywhere on your person, without ever springing or
impeding you in any way. Anyone who tries to get a feel for you is going to
get a nasty shock when it clamps down on their hand.

Handcuffs (100 CP)- A pair of very sturdy handcuffs; if two people are
handcuffed together they feel slightly more inclined to work together due to
annoyance, if nothing else. Otherwise a normal pair of handcuffs. You have
a key too… somewhere.

Benny The Cab (100 CP)- “If you ever need a ride, just stick out yer
thumb!” By doing just that, Benny the Cab will zip along, ready to give you a
ride wherever you need to go- within reason, he’s still a car, ya know?
ACME-Catalog (300 CP, discount Drop In)- A catalog of ACME
products, ready for delivery to your Warehouse! New products are added
periodically, and while they’re unlikely to be useful in a fight they’re usually
useful, and VERY fun.

Toon Gun (300 CP, discount Detective)- Who needs a hawkeye when
your bullets fly after your enemies? Sure, instead of being shot they’ll be
clubbed, stabbed, or cut by Toon bullets, but isn’t that better anyways?

Heavy Off-Screen Objects (300 CP, discount Drop In-Toon and

Toon)- Everywhere you go there seems to be heavy objects (safes, anvils,
pianos, etc.) slightly just out of view of and above everyone else wherever
you go. You instinctively know where they are, and they always seem to be
held very unsteadily- as if they were meant to be dropped.

Oh My God, It’s DIIIIIIIIIP! (300 CP, discount Deputy Judge)-

You’ve got a big, bad, vat of Dip; the combination of chemicals created by
Judge Doom to kill Toons deader than dead. This Dip is a special batch,
however; it can stand in for any natural, innate weakness that a being has,
affecting them when exposed to it as if they had been exposed to their
weakness. However, the more powerful the being, the more exposure is
needed to affect them; you’d need to drench Superman in the stuff, rather
than splashing some in his face, for example.

Business (300 CP, Origins get discounts on the one associated

with their Origin)- You’ve got your very own, official business- Drop Ins
have a factory and attached warehouse (not that type of Warehouse), both
types of Toons have their very own film company, Detectives have their
own agency, and Deputy-Judges have their own firm.
 Companions
Companion Import (50/300 CP)- You can import one of your
Companions for 50 CP, or eight for 300 CP, giving them an Origin of choice
and 600 CP to spend on Perks and Items. You may import additional
companions afterwards for 50 CP a head.

Canon Companion (100 CP)- Want to bring someone from here along
for the ride? For the low, low price of 100 CP you can make someone here a
Companion. Whether you want to bring Eddie, Mickey Mouse, or Bugs
Bunny along for the ride, or want to cause mischief order with Judge Doom,
you have your pick of any canon human or Toon, so long as they were in the
public eye sometime before 1957. I should note that Toons here aren’t quite
as powerful as they appear on TV; sure, Popeye is stronger when he eats
spinach, but he can’t throw a lasso around the sun and tow it. As a special
consideration considering how they’re happily married, Jessica and Roger
Rabbit are a package deal- and count as one Companion, splitting bought
powers between the two of them equally.

Jessica Jumper (50 CP)- A buxom dame who dances at one of the local
clubs; did I mention that she’s a Toon? It seems whoever animated her was
quite animated himself, but it seems like she’s fallen head over heels in love
with you. She has the perks ‘He’s A Toon!’, ‘Patience’, ‘I’m Not Bad, I’m Just
Drawn That Way’, and ‘Toon Physicist’.

Pet Toon (50 CP)- A Toon that isn’t quite sapient; although many Toons
are, there are also plenty of animals that have been drawn or penned in to
act as background scenery. They’re all about as smart as dogs, regardless of
‘species’- species being in quotes because such Toons can also be normally
inanimate objects. Does not count as a companion unless imported, but
they get ‘He’s A Toon!’ and ‘Make Em’ Laugh’ for free.
 Drawbacks
Take up to +600 CP worth of Drawbacks.
Bizarre (+0 CP)- Tom the Cat and Daffy Duck have taken of a strange
hobby; they’ve started wearing zoot suits and posing at each other, with
strange, Japanese symbols appearing all over the place. Their cartoons have
also been affected by this change, and other Toons may start emulating
them. Nobody thinks this is odd, but if you have No Sense of Humor you
might not be able to [STAND] their shenanigans.

Alcoholic (+100 CP)- You like the drink a bit too much; seems you need
to start the day with copious amounts of alcohol to function, as well as
ending the day with some to get to bed. A little during the day couldn’t hurt
either. Maybe you should get a flask?

No Sense of Humor (+100 CP)- You fall completely flat when it comes
to humor. Your jokes aren’t funny, you laugh at inappropriate times, and
you’re completely stoic once something that’s actually funny happens.
Needless to say, if you’re a Toon it’s going to be rough finding work.
Honestly; you’d be better off dead!

A Jumper’s Lust and A Three-Year-Old’s Dinky (+100 CP)- Do I

have to spell it out? Let’s just say I hope you didn’t spend all your points on
“Endowed” during Body Mod… not only that, but you’re extremely
hampered when it comes to acts of romance. Hope you like Booby Traps.

Contracted (+200 CP)- Looks like you’re working for one of the big
studios now. In fact, you’re forced to; if you quit or get fired, you’ll lose the
Jump. If you’re a Toon, this means that you’re an actor; if you’re a human,
you do some other job. In any case, you’re here for the full ten years.

Dropped a Piano on His Head (+200 CP)- A Toon killed your brother;
dropped a piano right on his head. If you’re a Toon, you watched your
brother get Dipped by humans. In any case, you distrust and even outright
hate Toons or humans; enough to make your interactions with them
extremely difficult.
A MAAAN! (+200 CP)- You’ve got an admirer; only this Toon skipped
past Looney and is totally, crazily in love with you. Unfortunately, they’re
pretty much the exact opposite of what you find attractive. To make matters
worse, because your Benefactor finds this funny, your admirer has been
empowered to dizzying new heights; you’ll never be safe, no matter where
you go. At least they’re somewhat courteous and limit themselves to
smooching, instead of doing something untoward like holding hands.

Dip is Thicker Than Water (+300 CP)- But water might as well be Dip,
as far as you’re concerned, considering it burns you in exactly the same way.
Anything that’s more than 50% percent water will burn you like acid,
causing you immense pain and harm.

Flat (+300 CP)- Whether as a birth defect, a mistake when you were
being drawn, or as a result of being squashed by a steam roller, you’re now
completely flat. As a result, it’s tremendously difficult for you to interact
with the world.

You’ll DIE Laughing! (+300 CP)- Like the Toon Patrol, you’ll DIE
laughing if you can’t control yourself. In a place like Toon Town, that’s
harder than it might seem, and if you’re not careful your soul will pop right
out of you and float off to heaven- or the other place.
 Endings
That’s All, Folks- You head home; your Jumping
days are over.
The Show Must Go On- On to the next Jump.
Stick Around- You’ve grown attached to this place;
your affairs back home are taken care of, and your
Jumping days are over.

Notes
-Toons have a wide variety of abilities, such as a Hammerspace for small
tools, the ability to ignore gravity due to ignorance, an elastic, strong body,
and more. (Basically, if it’s from an old timey cartoon and isn’t too far-
fetched, you might be able to do it.) Post-Jump, your durability is based
more on intent. You’re immune to damage from accidents, for one, but if
someone means you harm they’ll still harm you as normal. If someone has
no knowledge that you’re in their line of fire, you’ll be fine; if someone
attacks your area, knowing you’re there but not wanting to hurt you, or
don’t know you’re there but mean to destroy EVERYTHING that they aim
at, you’ll be hurt as normal. Post-Spark, you’ll enjoy the full benefits of
being a Toon, including fun-based reality warping, near immortality and
incredible durability, and as a bonus you’ll also lose your weakness to Dip
and similar substances.

-Judges get He’s A Toon if they purchase their Origin in case that wasn’t
obvious.
