Character is what you shall use from now on.
And by "You" I mean the Internet.
EDITed for Clarity:
A cartoon is a story, a movie or a show. A Character is an entity in a Cartoon.
WOW is not a cartoon.
Charcaters in cartoons are not cartoons... They are Cartoon Characters.
Again, WoW is Not a Cartoon.
Also: Blizzard allows Character Transfers.
It doesnt matter how long people have been using the term. It is INANE and needs to stop.
