I've been trying to resist the urge to post one of these up, since the TDI fanfic Archive is overloading with these. But y'know what, screw that! Here comes another one of the Starring You! fics: Total Drama Island: World Tour!
I just have a couple rules:
1) Detail, detail, detail! The more detail I have of your character, the better. It's just easier to write about someone or something when you have a lot of info.
2) I'm not going to take characters that are too similar to one from another television show (sorry all you Sasuke Uchihas and Sakura Harunos, but you're not welcome here).
3) No Mary-Sues/Gary-Stews! To be more specific, I do not want the straight A, beautiful, funny, popular girl who's nice to everyone and virtually flawless. Or if you're submitting a Goth, don't make them the average, stereotypical kind of Goth. Add something that is uncharacteristic of the stereotype you're choosing.
4) Going along with number three, diversity is also important. Think of names that aren't very common (and if a name is choosen, don't use it or anything close to it). Make their background abnormal. Have your character have some strange pet peeve or fetish. Maybe they have a different speech pattern. Just something out of the norm.
5) People who want to use characters that have been used in other fics like these are welcome (because then I couldn't use my characters :3)
6) This is not first come first serve. Once I find enough characters that, in my opinion, are interesting I will start the story. I'm only accepting twenty campers, ten girls and ten boys. Including my characters, I'd have twenty two characters total.
7) Not everyone can be paired up. Sorry if your character doesn't get a summer sweetheart.
8) My limit of stereotypes is two. This means your character may have two stereotypes, if they don't contrast too much that is (A person can't be the goody-two-shoes and the nut job). And if the stereotype you wanted was taken, don't fret. If I like two Jocks that were submitted, then I'll take 'em. I just don't want everyone submitting one stereotype.
9) Do not be insulted if your character isn't picked. It's nothing personal, and I'm sure your character would fit in another story. And I'll probably feel bad anyways.
10) You can submit up to two characters. I'm not guaranteeing both will be picked though.
The Twist: My fic will not be set in one place throughout the duration of this story if you haven't guessed already. It's a worldwide expedition! Once the story starts, I'll give out more info (If this was done before, I'm sorry).
Hope the rules didn't scare you away. On with the forums!

Name: Benedict Harring
Nickname (Optional): Ben, and he'd rather be called this than his birth name.
Age (15-17): 16
Gender: Male
Stereotype: The Prankster
Personality (detailed please!): Ben always had the reputation of not thinking before acting. He doesn't doubt himself, and he is a very straightforward person, sometimes too blunt in the result he gets beat up. Ben also has a prank or two up his sleeve, and underestimation can be punished by a nasty trick. He also like to tease and joke a little too much. Ben also hates being referred to as Benedict.
Background (basically their history. Again, be detailed): Ben was the middle child of nine children, his older brothers and sisters always being the apples of his parents' eyes, his younger siblings having to be overly taken care of. He was always lonely, the last being thought of. Once he entered the sixth grade, Ben craved attention, his pranks diminutive of the tricks he pulls today. But he never thinks about the harm his pranks can carry on to someone, hence his reputation. He's also almost been mauled by a tiger at the age if six (he was calling it 'lazy dumb-dumb').
Appearance (height, weight, skin tone, build, hair color/style, eyes, etc): His skin tone is peachy. Ben is toned, but his muscles aren't well defined. On his right arm is a deep scar from a time he was ambushed by a bunch of kids who were tired of his pranks. He's average height and weight for a boy his age. He has dull green eyes that shine in the right light. Ben has short, slightly messy chocolate hair.
Clothing
Everyday: He wears a long sleeved green shirt (to cover the prominent scar on his right arm) with an outline of hand going thumbs up on the torso. Over that he wears a worn-out tan jacket with the sleeves cut off mid arm. Ben also wears faded jeans and black and white sneakers.
Swimsuit: Simple green swim trunks.
PJs: Black tee with green boxers.
Formal: A classic tux with a green bow.
Likes: Winning, pranks, challenges, flirting, trading cards, and video taping
Dislikes: Losing, cheaters, his family
Fears: Being brutally attacked to the result of death, and tigers
Romance? (yes or no. Include your orientation [straight, bi, gay]): Yep! And he's straight.
Crush (if you answered yes): Ben likes a challenge or just basically a girl who is really hard to get.
Anything else? (talent, pet peeve, fetish, prized possession, etc): His talent is pranks mostly. He's a genius at them. At a young age, he was taught out to play the piano and the skill had been engraved in his memory, but he refuses to admit any ability of it. His video camera is his most precious possession as Ben wants to have all the footage of his pranks before the whole world sees them. His pet peeve is being called Benedict.
Audition Tape (Optional): *Ben is holding a camera close to his face* Ben: Hey TDI! I'm Benedict *cringes at the sound of his name* otherwise known as Ben! Since a humungous prank would be too much for this audition to handle, I'm going to pull a classic on my most hated teacher, Mr. Gray. *He holds up a box of tacks and sprinkles them on a chair. Ben hides the camera. An old wrinkled teacher walked in and complains on how awful the class's recent reports were. Then he sits down on the pranked-out chair* Mr. Gray: AGHH! Who is responsible for this?! *He turns around, unintentionally showing the class his buttful of tacks* Ben: *snickers evilly*…and that's just a taste of the pranks I can pull on TDI! Put me on, baby! I'm ready for some big bucks!

Name: Nicole Chervani
Age (15-17): 16
Gender: Female
Stereotype: The Pessimist / Loner
Personality (detailed please!): Her past as led her to be mistrusting, pessimistic, and independent. She doesn't want people to cross her; if you do you she'll beat you to a pulp. She only smiles when someone is hurt, as Nicole has also become sadistic over the course of her life. Nicole is also the first one to point the negatives in a person, place, or event, and doubts herself constantly. Underneath all that, thought, is a patient, caring girl, muffled by all the trauma Nicole has been through.
Background (basically their history. Again, be detailed): Ever since her parents died on a train wreck, Nicole has been going house to house as a foster child, never ending up with a family who treated her as a daughter. Instead, she was a reject when the families grew tired of her constant negative attitude. After years of this repetitive pattern, she ran away. This also caused her to have an almost permanent frown, a smoldering glare, and a negative, sarcastic attitude towards life and the people in it. Nicole also has an extremely hard time trusting others because of the mistreatment. She hates talking about her past though, and hardly brings it up.
Appearance (height, weight, skin tone, build, hair color/style, eyes, etc): She's slender but a little muscular. Her skin is naturally tan, or basically the shade of caramel. Nicole has curly/wavy golden brown hair. She has large, dark brown eyes. Nicole is stands at 5'7" and weights 117 lb.
Clothing
Everyday: Nicole wears a short sleeved red shirt, a short sleeved black shirt with large rips at the torso and smaller and shorter tears at the sleeves over top. On her hands, she wears fingerless, leather gloves. Her very dark denim jeans are cut to her knees. She wears black sneakers with silver laces.
Swimsuit: A strapless black, modest bikini with silver shred-like designs
PJs: A black spaghetti strap tee with red shorts.
Formal: A black sheathdress that goes down to the floor with a silver sash tied around the waist.
Accessories ([optional] glasses, headwear, piercings, jewelry): Nicole wears a black leather head band.
Likes: Being sarcastic, horror movies, drawing, pranks, and rose bouquets (although she'd never admit it)
Dislikes: Thorns, girly things (exception: flowers), snobs, womanizers, and wannabe comedians
Fears: Rejection, trains (more so a train accident)
Romance? (yes or no. Include your orientation [straight, bi, gay]): Yep! She's straight.
Crush (if you answered yes): If a guy wants to win her heart, they'll have to be perseverant as Nicole is stubborn to admit her crushes and refuses to believe she has one in the first place. And they must have the ability to make her smile, which is nearly impossible.
Anything else (talent, pet peeve, fetish, prized possession, etc)?: No one knows it, but Nicole is extremely ticklish in her stomach. She also possesses a melodic, smooth yet powerful voice when she sings. The thing is, she never does sing, so most people never hear it. She's also allergic to most zoo animals and hates any shade of or relatively close to pink.
Audition Tape (Optional): *Someone is holding a camera. Nicole and a girl who looks tougher are about to brawl* Crowd: Fight! Fight! Fight! Camera Kid: Bets! Place 'em now! Crowd: C'mon Taylor you can bet her! Yeah! Punish her for tripping you! *Taylor charges toward Nicole, but Nicole punches her right in the face, kicking her in the stomach and pushing her hurt body into a brick wall* Nicole: You kiddin' me? Man, I wasn't even trying! Referee: 1…2…3! Nicole wins! Nicole: *see camera kid* Wha? You have evidence?! *punches camera and the tape goes off*
Challenge and/or Destination Ideas: Challenge: Literal Freeze Tag / Destination: Kenya (or somewhere in Africa)
Hope I see you on this world tour!
