Hey, it's Imforever! I've been lurking in this fan-base, so I decided to try one of these stories out on a shared account. The application and intro are uber long. Because this story is going to be AMAZING. So fill 'em out and be a part of the AWESOME.
Actually, I wasn't going to write this story. My girlfriend made me. She's pushy like that. But she won't let me off the couch until I do it, so... Without further ado.
So, apparently season three, Total Drama World Tour, sucked. A lot. Or at least that was what Chris gathered from a fuming producer after his ears stopped ringing and he managed to sort out the angry barrage of words.
He might not have been so worried if not for the fact that the studio was breathing down his neck. If they couldn't pull off season one worthy ratings he was going to be out of a job. Much, much worse- Blaineley was offering to take his place for Total Drama. That just wasn't going to happen.
So, Chris had done a little negotiating (read: grovelling) with his former contestants. As it turns out, they weren't quite as ecstatic to hear from him as he imagined they would be.
Courtney's reply had come with an official heading, and a rather professional reply of, 'After the extreme violation of my season three contract, our season four agreement has been made null and void. Talk to my lawyers, and expect to see me in court.' Chris had shrugged this off because, really, Courtney had outlived her use anyway.
Surprisingly, Sierra had been one of the first to write back, with an enthusiastic ,'O-M-G, Chris! I heard you're looking to have the contestants back for a fourth season! My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail- NBD!'. What was surprising was the fact that he had 'forgotten' to send her an email.
Alejandro's came back in a long Spanish rant that Chris hadn't bothered to translate, but 'viejo' and 'grasiento' were compliments, right?
Then there was always Duncan's eloquent response of, 'Go f*ck yourself.'
And honestly, Duncan's pretty much summed up the reactions from all of his fellow contestants. The season three lava incident had apparently done some damage.
Currently, Chris was lounging poolside as Chef handed him a cold one (root beer, obviously) and tried half-heartedly to cheer him up.
"Man, those kids are old hat anyway. Their drama's washed up." Chef patted the soon-to-be ex-host gruffly on the back.
Chris took a deep drink, looking honestly worried, "But where am I gonna find another bunch of drama-loving freaks?"
Chef rolled his eyes, "Yeah, where could you possibly find a couple of drama-mongering teens that want a hundred thousand dollars?"
"Gotta wonder why the studio keeps giving me that kind of money." Chris shrugged carelessly.
"How 'bout the fact that you never actually let anyone win it?"
Chris chuckled. "Oh, yeah."
Chris turned his grin to the omnipresent camera,
"So, here's to all the teens that own a television. If you want to be mildly famous, get a chance to meet this gorgeous host, and enjoy having every private moment of your life filmed- along with the slim chance to win a hundred grand, this may be the show for you!"
"I'm looking for twenty teens, freaks, geeks, hotties and general jerks for my new season of Total Drama Seasons!"
The camera panned out dramatically with the last three words.
Rules:
1. THIS IS NOT FIRST COME FIRST SERVE! And do NOT send me a nasty message if I don't pick you. Chances are if you are the type to rant at someone over the internet, your character was a crappy Mary-sue.
2. You are human. This means appearance-wise and with flaws. Normal hair color and eye color, unless dyed/contacts. Purple hair is the exception, since Sierra made it canon.
3. Keep the stereotypes short. Cute/sexy nerd- yes, Friendly artist- yes, Laid-back musician- yes, Hot Gothic Artistic Musician- don't even bother; get out
4. No contradictory personalities. Having a shy girl that also fights like a wildcat equates to a Mary-Sue.
5. If you're intolerant of homosexuals- get out. Oh, yeah, and while we're here, put 'Procrastination Panda' somewhere in your profile.
6. Keep the dramatic back-story to a minimum. I will not accept anyone who murdered their father and married their mother, okay?
7. No drugs, alcohol, sex, abuse, self-harm, self-loathing, medications, or anything of the sort. Not. In. My. Story.
What I need:
Antagonists- I'm ten times more likely to pick your character if they are an antagonist.
Drama- You need to be able to picture your character being involved in drama. That's the whole point of Total Drama! Is it possible for your character to cheat on their boyfriend/girlfriend? Are they the jealous type? Are they easily distracted or manipulated? Are they good at physical challenges, but a complete dimwit when it comes to common sense? Tell me so I'll pick them!
By The Way:
If you're ever concerned that I might have forgotten the story, and want to make sure you're not wasting your time filling out this giant profile, PM me. I get back to those pretty quick.
This is called Total Drama Seasons because all of the challenges will be season-oriented. You'll see.
Lastly: I will be having two of my own characters. One is a competitor (he won't win, obviously) and one is an intern. Their applications are below, as an example of what I'm expecting.
Still alive? Congratulations, here's your application!

M'kay...so, here's the deal. I don't really need interns. But I made one for myself, so I think it's only fair that I give others the same opportunities. They'll get a fair share of screen time without the possibility of elimination and with the possibility of romance, though. (And a much shorter application! Yay!)

~The Basics~
Name: Devin Wells
Nickname: Friends can call him anything
Stereotype: The Track Star
Sexuality: Straight
Age: 16
Height: 5'1
Body: Well-toned, but very slender
Hair color and style: Black, styled in messy spikes
Eye color: Sea green
Skin tone: Fair
Ethnicity (optional): N/A
Everyday Outfit: A black tank top, with black khaki pants and sneakers.
Pajamas: A black tank top, with black lounge pants and barefoot.
Swim Wear: Black swim trunks (surprised?)
Formal Wear: A black tuxedo that he looks extremely uncomfortable in (but a very stylish one, since his brother picked it out)
Winter Wear: Devin hates the cold, so he's bundled up in a puffy black ski jacket, black snow pants and boots. He also has ear muffs, gloves and a scarf. He's covered.
~In Depth~
Bio: Devin grew up with three older siblings, Lena, Demi and Dray. His father is a domineering man that he can't stand, and his mother is a complete pushover. Devin grew up very chivalrous, seeing how poorly his father treated his mother, and how strong his older sisters were. He became very protective over Dray once his older brother came out to him, and he realized that his father never looked at Dray the same. He is exceptionally fast.
Likes: Candy, running, animals (especially little animals), Dray
Dislikes: Vegetables, bullies, prejudice
Talent: N/A (Running around the stage in circles wouldn't be very entertaining)
Strengths: Running, obstacle courses, math, science
Weaknesses: Intelligence related to trivia, memorization, history, or English; competing against girls, his brother
Best Traits (physical or otherwise): His stand out eyes and his chivalry.
Personality: Devin stays quiet and to himself most of the time, and is very shy. At first he comes across as mean, since he prefers to be alone and usually mutters whatever he says. He's very energetic and protective over his friends. He treats women nicely, and thinks the world of them. He's actually very childish once you get to know him, since he was the baby of his family.
Personality Flaws: Devin is very quiet and won't become close to his teammates (at least right away). He is very gullible, and can be convinced of almost anything. His protectiveness can be manipulated, as he would easily give up a challenge if he thought something was wrong with Dray.
How do they treat friends?: Once Devin has warmed up to someone enough to consider them a friend, he shows his sweet, childish side. He is loyal and helpful, and would rather have them win the season. He talks more with them, and tries to protect them.
How do they treat neutrals?: He doesn't talk, doesn't smile, mutters whatever he says and prefers to be alone than with them.
How do they treat enemies?: He glares. A lot. And keeps them away from his friends.
Favorite Weather (and least): Sunny/Snowing
Favorite Color (and least): Blue/Yellow
Favorite Season (and least): Spring/Winter
Favorite Food (and least): Candy (particularly tootsie rolls)/Vegetables (particularly greens)
Favorite Drink (and least): Hot Chocolate/Tea
Favorite Contestant and Why: DJ, because he's nice and respectful and has a good relationship with his mother.
Who They Will Miss Most (and why): His best friend Virgil, because he'll miss having someone other than his brother to connect to.
Fear (and why): Something bad happening to Dray, for obvious reasons.
~Romance~
Paired?: Why not?
With Who?: Someone persistent and sweet.
….Will They Act?: He's shy and a bit goofy, but he always treats them like a gentleman would.
~The Rest~
Can They Drive?: Nope. He'd be awful at it.
Challenge Idea?: N/A (I have a whole list of 'em, and I'm not revealing any)
Audition Tape:
The tape opens to a teenage boy sitting on a blue canopy bed, that obviously isn't his own. He's dressed predominantly in black, and looking awkwardly away from the camera.
An off-screen voice speaks, "Well, Devin, why don't you tell Total Drama a little about yourself, and why you'd make a good contestant?"
"..." The boy sitting on the bed continues to look away, shifting his gaze around uncomfortably.
"...You could talk about track!" The voice continues to prompt.
"…"
"And how amazing you are at it! You've broken every running record at your school! Relay, hundred meter, forty meter,..."
There's an awkward pause before the voice continues, "Come on, Devin!"
"..."
"We could really use the money!"
A tootsie roll is dangled above the camera, barely in the audience's view.
"Speak!"
Devin shifted his weight, putting his elbows on his knees, eying the candy.
"I like track, and I'm good at running," he muttered, turning his head away from the camera, though his eyes didn't leave the candy, "and I'm competitive. And nice..."
"What a good boy!" The cameraman praised, tossing the tootsie roll at Devin, who caught it eagerly.
The camera turned to face the boy who had been operating it all along. He was a tall, fair-skinned blonde, looking sharply at the camera.
"And, if you don't pick him, considering I'm interning," he added sweetly, "I'll kill you Chris."
Name: Dray Wells
Sexuality: Gay
Age: 18
Height: 5'10
Body: A very slender, girlish figure.
Hair and Style: Platinum blonde, below the shoulder blades, and predominantly straight.
Eye Color: Sky blue
Skin Tone: Fair
Usual Outfit: (Gawd, I detest making outfits!) He wears a sky blue sweater over a designer tee-shirt, with jeans and white sneakers.
Likes: Tea, Light foods (salads, crepes, fruits), Intelligent conversation, Birds, Books, Early mornings, Fine arts (aka: soap operas)
Dislikes: Not having tea (can't function without it), Discrimination, Competitive sports
Personality: Dray acts like a complete monster to Chris; he is a thorn in his side at every turn. However, Dray is the best friend a contestant could have. He prevents the competition from becoming anarchy, keeps the contestants alive, and would be a big sister figure to any of his friends.
How They Treat Campers They Like: He acts very friendly to them, and tries to help them out the best he can. He would like to be friends with all the campers.
How They Treat Campers They Don't Like: He prefers to think he's above being enemies with the contestants, seeing as they're all high school kids. However, Dray himself is only 18. He is catty and mock-sweet to all of his enemies, but it is in his contract not to reveal any antagonists to the campers.
Position: Co-host/Host's Assistant
Okie Dokie! Seriously guys, message me any time you want for information! And submit as many characters as you want! But keep in mind that I'll need boys too! You can expect that the chapters will be relatively longish as well, sooo... It's not as if this information will go to waste. Good luck and thanks!
