Physical Description[edit]
Cartooned look like any normal creature that you can find in civilized towns. Their ancestors mimicked their body to blend into the crowd. Over the generations, Cartooned body become near perfect mimicry of the original race at the cost of lost of control over their own ability to shape shift.
History[edit]
It is a popular belief that Cartooned are distant cousins to Plasmoids. While Plasmoids created their own society of intelligent ooze, Cartooned begin their history as slaves, servants, or experiments to other races. Cartooned evolved to appear similar to humanoid races due to their master's desires. Over generations, their mimicry become near perfect. Appearing like normal races, many good aligned folks have freed Cartooned from their imprisonment. These heroes unknowingly unleased a new race into the world.
Freed Cartooned often take up jobs in the entertainment industry. Their natural talent to make jokes combined with their expressive body make them perfect to make others laugh.
Society[edit]
Cartooned's society share many similar features to the their mimicked original race. Cartooned tend to have a high focus on overly expressing emotions and actions. Young Cartooned are taught in the multiple ways of comedy.
Cartooned Names[edit]
Cartooned parents often follow the same naming conventions as the mimicked original race. Rarely, young Cartooned (like teenagers) would change their name to better fit with their favorite act.

Air Head[edit]
Huge Lungs. You can hold your breath up to one hour
Mighty Air. You know the gust cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Levitate spell on yourself once. Once you reach 5th level, you can also cast the fly spell on yourself once. You must finish a long rest to cast these spells again with this trait. When you pick this subrace, you can pick Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

As long as you are inflated with air, you are near weightless (you weight as much as a balloon) and float on water (up to 500 lb). Additionally, you bounce like a basketball which can reduce fall damage by half. You are no longer inflated when you breath out (free action) or take piercing damage.
Painter[edit]
Need to paint. You are proficient in painter's supplies. Additionally, when you complete a long rest, you can make as much paint to refill your painter's supplies.
Illusionary Painting. While using your painter's supplies, you can use your action to paint an image and grant it "life" though the silent image spell without any spell slots.
False Opening. While using your painter's supplies, you can use your action to paint a picture of an opening (like an open door way or a tunnel) on a flat surface. This illusionary paining last up to 10 minutes.
The first creature that attempts to go through your False Opening can treat the opening as real opening. They enter your painting and teleport to the other side of painting (like the other side of the wall). This teleport fails if the teleportation's distance would be greater than 10 ft.
Any creature after the first creature that attempts to enter the False Opening hits the surface of the painting. It is usually harmless but painful. If a creature attempts to enter the False Opening while their speed is greater than their natural speed (like while dashing or under haste spell), they run into the painting and take 3d10 bludgeoning damage.
A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC based on your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma.
You can use this trait once per long rest.
