Paper is not a legal necessity for writing a check. Lots of transactions are done electronically, with no paper being required. In addition, if you for some reason wished to write a check on parchment, or on a piece of plastic (if you had plastic with the right kind of surface texture that it would absorb the ink from your pen) or whatever you had in mind, a nice piece of tree bark, what matters is that you have written out the instruction to your bank to make a payment to someone, and you have signed it.
