It was twenty five years into the future since Squall Leonhart was crowned the winner of Survivor Final Showdown. Many things have changed since then. The portals that allowed crossing over into different dimentions has officially been closed. Survivor and many other reality TV shows were canceled, and thrown into obscurity. In fact, the tapes of all 33 seasons of Survivor were buried in a wasteland.
It was once until one day, December 10th, 2041, a young nerd and superfan known as Jerry Perry found out about the missing tapes, and went on a hunt for them. Jerry was able to uncover the tapes, and watch the show he read about during his college years.
Jerry Perry eventually got into contact with now 67 year old Green Hill Runner Up Kevin Gunther, and now 75 year old Survivor host Jeff Probst to begin a kick starter for the revival of the Survivor series. It was quick and successful, and many of the highest backers got accepted onto the show for it's first season, including Jerry himself!
Although Jeff Probst was beyond his years of hosting a television show, he knew there wouldn't be a show without him. He used his pension to order an aging potion from Hogan Industries to revert him back to his younger years.
Now 30 years old, Jeff Probst now sits in his old office, reading up applications for the first ever season, Survivor: Kermadec Islands.

Jeff Probst was sitting in his office with three members of the production team. There was Paulie Duction, the son of former production member Paul Duction. There was Kevin Gunther, the Runner Up of Survivor: Green Hill. Last but not least, there was Trinity, Jeff Probst's own personal amiibo assistant. She still looked about the same as she always has, being a computer program.
"We still need someone to take over the role of the medical assistant," said Jeff, looking over many papers, "After JD returned to his universe, we're pretty much stuck without a head doctor."
Kevin chuckled softly, "Well, maybe we can contact Eric Yong's son, Daniel? I heard he's almost done with medical school."
"I don't think we're allowed to have a medical student run the medical team until he has his PhD," replied Paulie, "I suppose we'll just have to hire someone else for the time being."
"By the time the season begins I'm pretty sure he's going to be finished," replied Kevin, "Besides... we need to focus on the important things. For instance, these 20 new castaways."
"Yes! Yes! Of course! Let's meet the newcomers!" smiled Trinity, still sounding like a high pitched, feminine Jeff Probst.
Jeff chuckled softly, "Alright, alright, let's see what we have here." He opened up the book full of applications sent in and accepted. He then started to give his opinion on each one.

Name: Jerry Perry
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Job: Store Clerk
Favorite Player: Benjamin Tan (Green Hill)
Jeff's Assessment: Of course, the man behind the kickstarter, Jerry Perry is definitely one of my favorites. He fits the stereotype of the awkward nerd. He's a big superfan of so many different TV shows, but most of all, it's Survivor that's number one! I don't know how Jerry Perry's going to do, because he might rub people the wrong way, but I think he's smart enough to do it right.

Name: Betty Murphy
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Job: Youtuber
Favorite Player: Jessica Bradley (Green Hill)
Jeff's Assessment: Betty is a youtuber. She has over four million subscribers, and runs fashion blogs on her channel. But behind the pretty face is a glorified nerd. She's into video games, anime, and so many other cool things! My concern about Betty is that she needs to be careful about how she plays. If people see her as a huge nerd and superfan right away, maybe that will come back to haunt her.
– – – – –
Name: Kris Compton
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Job: Softball Player
Favorite Player: Mike Holloway (Worlds Apart)
Jeff's Assessment: Kris is a very competitive woman. She's ready to get out there and carry her team to victory every step of the way. The thing is, I don't know if Kris is smart enough to keep herself away from the alpha female role. She wants to lead the team, but in many cases, that will point you out as the leader of the tribe. Not only that, I feel like Kris needs someone to lead her through the game.
– – – – –
Name: Brian Rose
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Job: College Student
Favorite Player: William Rose (Green Hill)
Jeff's Assessment: Brian definitely has a legacy to withhold coming out here. However, I think Brian takes more from his mother than his father in that I feel like he's definitely a mellow guy. He's laid back, and would rather watch the game rather than actually play it. That said, Brian applied, so I know he wants to play. The question for Brian is... how will he play this game? Carefully? Or sloppy?

Name: Fatima Abbas
Gender: Female
Age: 29
Job: Chiropractor
Favorite Player: Toriel Dreemurr (Waterfall)
Jeff's Assessment: Fatima is a tough woman. She's a mother, she's a chiropractor, and she can probably kick my own ass if she really wanted to. If you get on her bad side, well, good luck, that's all I'll say. But I feel like Fatima has a good reason if you get on her bad side... so maybe she's not the problem. I think Fatima can be a great ally to have for a long term alliance, because she's really strong.

Name: Stuart Gomez
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Job: Former Criminal
Favorite Player: Needles Kane (Aquatic Ruin)
Jeff's Assessment: Stuart's backstory is rather interesting to say the least. He's one of few people to survive the electric chair, and that changed his life completely. He has amensia from his former days as a criminal, so he doesn't remember what he did that led him to become one, and he wants to redeem himself. I think Stuart is a blunt man, but I feel like he's not truly a bad dude anymore.
– – – – –
Name: Darwin Ryn
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Job: Stunt Pilot
Favorite Player: Ashton Benedict & Erik Goodwin (Marble)
Jeff's Assessment: Darwin is a complete ladies man, and he looks the part too. He's handsome, he's cocky, and he makes the ladies swoon. I definitely see Darwin going deep in the game because he embodies everything people love and hate about Survivor. He's arrogant, but he's a leader. He's a bit of a jerk, but he's great at challenges. You never know what you're gonna get from Darwin!
– – – – –
Name: Jermaine Marchetti
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Job: Marriage Counselor
Favorite Player: Serena (Singapore)
Jeff's Assessment: If I had to describe Jermaine in a few words... it would be 'too nice to be on Survivor'. He wants to play Survivor to go to the end with his alliance. No big moves, he'll leave that to his alliance. He wants to help everyone with their problems, and that's a good social game in the making. But I feel like Jermaine is going to get left behind in the dust, and no jury will like his game.

Name: Grace
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Job: Lab Assistant
Favorite Player: Soubi Agatsuma (Aquatic Ruin)
Jeff's Assessment: Grace is just... wow. I think we've found our newest weirdo now that Sans and Deadpool have left our world. Grace is just over the top. She's hyper, she's kooky, she's a total nerd, and she works in a science lab at Hogan Industries. Like, I'm not making this up, she's the real deal! Grace is a total wild card, just like her last name. It changes on a dime. I don't even know her true orgins...
– – – – –
Name: Luciana Vargas
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Job: Artist
Favorite Player: Bayonetta (Waterfall)
Jeff's Assessment: Luciana is a casting director's dream applicant. She's amazing, and I'm glad we found someone like her. Luciana is a very... interesting woman. She's very cheerful, happy, outgoing... and seems to always cry at the drop of a hat. Lose a challenge, or have to vote someone out, she cries. She also relies on her team mates a whole lot. Someone like her is a big strategist's dream goat.

Name: Annie Baller
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Job: Singer
Favorite Player: Danielle (Blood vs. Water) & Benjamin Tan (Green Hill)
Jeff's Assessment: I wasn't expecting much from Anna when she walked into my office. But she's just... she's way different from her mother. Definitely got some traits from her father's side of the spectrum, that's for certain. That said, I'm way more confident about Anna then when I first met her. She's bubbly, she's a flirt, and she's fun to have around. But how far can she go? I don't really know.
– – – – –
Name: Alec Walsh
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Job: Financial Officer
Favorite Player: Jake Bernardi (Yoshi Desert)
Jeff's Assessment: Alec's a pretty chill dude. He's quiet, he's smart, and I think he's pretty interesting once you get to know him. He's also gone through some tough times in his life, dealing with bullies. I think he's going to have some trouble fitting in at first. I do think Alec has a great shot at going far in this game, because he's quiet enough, and strategic enough to play this game like a champ.

Name: Gerald Wayne Turner
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Job: High School Student
Favorite Player: No One
Jeff's Assessment: Gerald Wayne, or G.W. as he's going to go by, is an autistic high school student. There's so many things working for him and against him in this game. For one, I feel like G.W. wants to try and be a new kind of player, someone no one has ever seen before. Compared to our last few teenagers on Survivor, I'm looking forward to what G.W. is going to do on Survivor. He's fun!
– – – – –
Name: Jason Hughes
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Job: College Student / Basketball Player
Favorite Player: Yul Kwon (Cook Islands)
Jeff's Assessment: You look at Jason, and automatically think he's going to be the stereotypical alpha male running the show. However... while he is indeed strong, Jason is a total nerd and superfan! He's really smart, really strong, he's the total package! But Jason's biggest problem is going to be... well, he's going to be revealed as the biggest threat in the game, and people are gonna want to get him out!
– – – – –
Name: Whitney Jane Sutton
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Job: Computer Technician / Blogger
Favorite Player: Raine Sage (Redemption Island)
Jeff's Assessment: Like with Luciana, Whitney is a casting dream come true. We've never had someone like Whitney before on the show. In fact, I dare say that once this show is over, we drop her contacts and never see her again. But it's that element that makes us enjoy Whitney as a character... rather than as a human being. I just wonder if her tribe will even like her attitude and personality.
– – – – –
Name: Yvette Tan
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Job: Gamer
Favorite Player: Eric Yong (Green Hill)
Jeff's Assessment: Yvette is a gamer girl, and she's been gaming since she was a little girl. She does speed runs, she does competitive fighting tournaments, she even goes to cons on a daily basis to hit up all the latest gaming gadgets! Yvette's definitely not the comedian her father was. In fact, Yvette's a very serious woman. But like her father, Yvette is smart, calculating, and knows when to make a move.
– – – – –
Name: Charles Miller
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Job: Hockey Player
Favorite Player: Peter Anderson (Emerald Hill)
Jeff's Assessment: Charlie is a very noble guy, and actually that's his nickname on the hockey field, "Noble"! Charlie has a lot on his shoulders going into this season. His mother passed away from a growing brain tumor, and he wants to go out here and win this game in her honor. I think Charlie is a very likable guy, just like his father, and he has his charm, leadership, and just a bit more strength.
– – – – –
Name: Kajsa Nordstrom
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Job: Musician
Favorite Player: Bayonetta (Waterfall)
Jeff's Assessment: Kajsa is probably going to be loved or hated, depending on how the game goes. She's a moody girl, and can get timid when she's not in the best of moods. She also has an inferiority complex that could come out and ruin her game. She wants to be a good strategist despite that, so if Kajsa can avoid getting annoyed at the wrong times, I think she's bound to be a great player.
– – – – –
Name: Horace Thomas
Gender: Male
Age: 51
Job: Janitor
Favorite Player: Cyrano (Distant)
Jeff's Assessment: Horace seems like a creepy old man at first, but once you get to know him... he's a pretty alright guy. I think Horace will be underestimated in this game, but I feel like Horace is going be either out early, or out to be someone's goat. I hope Horace can get out of that stigma of being 'that old guy' and make some good moves. I think he has it in him. The question is... can he? We'll see.
– – – – –
Name: Professor Blanche Hogan
Gender: Female
Age: 41
Job: Chemist
Favorite Player: Mordin Solus (Virmire)
Jeff's Assessment: I love Blanche the second she walked through the door. She's crazy, she's insane, she's lost an eyeball, she's definitely one of the kookiest players we ever had on Survivor. But the crazy part about her is... she's actually really smart. She has an incredibly high IQ, and she vows to prove it out here playing Survivor! My concern about Blanche is that... she's a black hole ready to implode.
