Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What makes a cheque a cheque? What's the minimum amount of information required to make the piece of paper redeemable for money at a financial institution?
Dunno. But when I took typing in Jr. High, my teacher told us that a check could be as simple as a piece of bark with some writing on it. According to him, a check just needs to tell your bank to give money from your account to the person named on the check. So even a scrap of paper with this minimal info on it would constitute a check.
Of course, with all that fancy computer routing stuff they got these days, I doubt a piece of bark would work.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Scrappy, I am thinking of you and your family and wishing you peace, as ita said. You are such kind and comforting person here at Buffistas and I hope we can be of some comfort now, to you.

Scrappy... I'm so, so, sorry. What a tragedy. I hope she is at peace, and I hope you and your family can come to peace with this. Much love to you and yours.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I knew this at one time, and not that long ago. I think it just needs the amount it is worth, the account it is drawn on, the account holder's signature, and the payee (or Payable to Bearer, I suppose). It seems to me that I've known someone who has used their pre-printed deposit slips as checks, just wrote Pay to the order of, etc. on them. I don't think your bank is legally obligated to honor that sort of thing if they don't want to, though.
A piece of bark with the routing code and account number on it would work just fine, as long as the teller could read the numbers and key them in rather than scanning it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know the problem when the amounts are different, or unclear, is the teller doesn't know what amount to make it. Even though the difference is usually in the cents, it matters. Or did back in dicky-two when I was a bank teller.

I think when I trained as a teller we were told to go by the written out amount in preference to the numerical, though they should, of course, agree, and this was ages ago so I am probably remembering something completely different. But the idea was that the written amount was harder to alter. I don't think it ever came up a a practical matter in my few months experience.
