Alright, that's it! I have seen just about enough of these "Submit your own character" things. It is time for me to make my own. Unlike some of the others I will have some rules, please read the rules before submitting a character, they are as follows:
1. The OC must be original, by that I mean it cannot be a character from another show that you altered a tiny bit and then submitted, ex: Sakura Haruno, and Itachi Uchiha from Naruto. They have their own fandoms, please leave them there.
2. Your OC must be new, which means it can't be one that you have submitted to all the other "Season 2" fics. The only exception to this would be if the OC had not been excepted to any other story to date, if this is the case I may except the OC, but I have seen almost all of the other "Submit your own character" stories, so please don't say: "But I swear she/he has never been picked!" if they are already in another story.
3. They cannot be perfect. I can't stress this enough. A good character needs to be well rounded, sure they can be pretty, fine they can be smart, but if they are too perfect they go bye-bye. This is a Sue-free-story, got it?
4. Pleasetry to make the characters three dimensional. By this I mean give them a back story along with a stereotype; how did they get to be how they are? Why do they fear a certain thing? I think things like that would make this much more interesting. One thing though, if their past gets too tragic, I get bored
5. This sort of goes along with the number four. I want the stereotypical characters so it fits the whole TDI theme, but I think it would be interesting if they also had some weird personality quirk or trait, example: A tough jock, who secretly collects stamps, or a Goth who can't stand the sight of blood. Something like that.
6. No OCs related to cannon characters. I promise you being Duncan's little sister won't score you any brownie points. I believe there is another one of these things dedicated especially to cannon siblings, this is not it.
7.I will accept no more than twenty-six campers 13 boys and 13 girls. Most allow less I know, but I want to play up the unlucky number angle just for kicks. I have two campers of my own, don't worry I promise they won't win, they are just there for my own amusement.
8. Along with the campers I need three interns, who will work for Chris and at least two who will work with Chef. I have already given Chris a co-host, so please don't ask. I do however need producers to show up every once in a while, I could also use a few camera people, and some new exotic creatures to help torment the campers. A camp councilor and life guard would be useful too. I shall make different outlines for them along with a list of qualifications.
9.I will not discriminate by skin color or romantic preference. I will take all kinds of OCs, I want this group to be as unique as possible!
10. Please try to come up with an interesting name, or at least one that hasn't already been taken by another OC someone else submitted. It will help the character stand out, I do not want a story filled with say a Lacy, a Lucy, and a Lance, if you see someone has taken the name you want try to think of something different.
11. This is not first come, first serve, I will pick and choose as I please to make the story interesting. Honestly how boring would it be if I had, say seven loners a nerd and no mean girl just because the person couldn't get the review in on time? I will wait until I have enough characters to make the story interesting, as I said before I'm looking for diversity!
12. As much as this might bother some people here are the stereotypes I will accept, I will star the ones that are vital to the success of the story :
A Goth
A psycho*
A party animal
A bookworm
A delinquent*
A queen bee/mean girl or boy* (honestly if you didn't have someone like that how boring would it be?)
A dumb blond (may already be taken, but if someone makes a really good one I'll accept them)
A brick house with heart
An environmentalist
A valley girl (I know it is somewhat the same as a dumb blond, but I don't care)
A nerd
A geek (this is different than a nerd, trust me)
A wannabe
A person who is secretly plotting world domination (don't ask)
A pair of BFFLs
A cheerleader (I know this along the same lines as a valley girl or a dumb blond, but cheerleaders can be deep, or so I have heard)
A tough guy
A drama queen/geek
A skater boy
A skater girl (I won't have both a skater girl and a skater boy though)
A gay guy
A lesbian
A mime (don't ask)
A manic author
A control freak
A loud mouth
A jock
A gossip*
A matchmaker*
A backstabber
A thief/kleptomaniac* (just to make things interesting)
A "normal" person
A circus freak
An artist
A musician
A shy girl or a shy boy
A pyromaniac
A surfer dude/chick (one or the other, not both)
A piece of fruit (like Mr. Coconut, don't ask, I'm not sure how you would make an outline for this one, but if you try more power to you!)
A gamer
A flirt
A prankster
A jerk
A poet (who does not know it, if you don't get my joke I pity you)
Someone who eats their feelings (funnier if it's a guy)
A Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings/Twilight fanatic (I will probably be able to write this character better if they are obsessed with one of the first two, but I can try the third if you want me to)
A type A
An anime addict
A fashion victim
A magician (not real magic though, just card tricks and what not)
A ventriloquist (one who has a puppet, or can throw their voice for those of you who don't understand big words)
A lawyer in training
A future politician
A hacker
A Chris Maclean fan
A foul mouth (one who swears, a lot)
A body builder (they can be like Eva, or completely different)
A model
A rocker
I will accept some that aren't on the list, but I won't take any loners, magical creatures, Mary-sues, famous people, or those who just bug me.
I believe I have ranted long enough; I may add more rules as I see fit, but for now have fun and make your OC!
Here is the camper outline:

Family and friends:
Medical Conditions/Allergies: (if any)
Anything else I should know about them:
Audition Tape:
Here is one of my characters as an example:
Name: Marcus
Nickname: (if they have one) Mark
Age: (15 to 18) 16
Gender: Male
Stereotype: Dumb blond
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 120 lbs
Skin Tone: (also freckles, birth marks, tattoos, etc.) A light well paid for tan.
Build: (muscular, skinny, well endowed, hunch backed, etc) fairly skinny with no visible muscles.
Eye Color: Light blue, often misted over.
Hair color/style: Messy blond hair.
Clothes: A red T-shirt and designer leather jacket along with dark blue jeans and custom made sneakers with real gold thread woven into the laces.
Other things about their appearance: (glasses, hats, jewelry, peircings, etc.) He has a long necklace with a gold dollar sign hanging from it.
Personality: Mark is almost always in his own little world, he only comes out of it to mock other people's fashion sense or to drool over girls.
Likes: Girls, surfing (he can't actually surf, but he likes the idea of surfing), and mocking the fashion challenged.
Dislikes: Sports, sweating, sweaty people, working, math, homework, anything educational and getting dirty.
Fears: Sweaty people, especially professional wrestlers.
Romance: (yes or no) probably not, he's too in love with himself, but he is one for ogling.
Orientation: (gay, straight, bi, etc) straight (mostly).
Paired up with what kind of person: (you can pick another OC if you see one that you think your character would go well with) a girl he considers "hot", but I doubt they'll let him near them.
Odd quirk or trait: he secretly loves bright colors, even though they are so five minutes ago. He secretly has his toenail painted neon green, bright orange, and hot pink.
Past: Wealthy parents. He basically got everything he ever wanted extremely easily.
Family and friends: He has a small group of friends, who probably only hang out with him due to his wealth. Mark either doesn't know this, or he doesn't care, most likely the latter.
Medical Conditions/Allergies: (if any) he is highly allergic to math, or at least that's what he convinced his teachers to believe.
Anything else I should know about them: His IQ is off the charts, negatively speaking that is.
Audition Tape: The camera pans across to show Mark sitting on a park bench wrestling with a rubix cube.
"Come on! Darn thing! Go back to being pretty!" he yells at the cube frantically moving the colored panels around. He throws his arms up in annoyance and the bench topples over backwards.
Alright, there is the wonder which is Marcus. Now here is the format for an intern, remember Chris needs three (preferably one boy and two girls), and Chef needs at least two (preferably one boy and one girl).
Name:
Nickname: (they need one if they work for Chef, it doesn't have to be one they like, just something he will call them)
Age: (12-19)
Person they want to work for: (Chef or Chris)
Gender:
Height:
Weight:
Eye color:
Hair color/style:
Clothes:
Skin Tone: (freckles, birth marks, etc)
Build: (skinny, muscular, hunch backed, well endowed, etc)
Other things about appearance: (hats, jewelry, glasses, braces, etc)
Personality:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Fears: (if they have any)
Past:
Romance: (yes or no, they can be paired up with another intern, Chris, Chef, possibly a camera man, but not a camper, I don't want any favoritism, there could however be forbidden love, or some such nonsense.)
With whom:
Anything else I should know:
Audition/Interview tape:
I also need a councilor and a life guard. With these particular characters I would prefer a female or effeminate male councilor and a hunky male or masculine female life guard as I plan to pair the two up. One last thing; the lifeguard, if it is a man, needs to be fairly lazy and only save girls or Chris because he signs their paycheck, if it is a woman she can be equally lazy or hard core like Eva. They could also both be male or both be female, as I said before I have no problem with gay/lesbian relationships. The outline is as follows:
Name:
Nickname:
Age: (17-25, I want them a bit older than the campers if at all possible)
Gender:
Desired occupation: (lifeguard or councilor)
Height:
Weight:
Eye color:
Hair color/style:
Clothes:
Skin Tone: (freckles, birth marks, etc)
Build: (skinny, muscular, hunch backed, well endowed, etc)
Other things about appearance: (hats, jewelry, glasses, braces, etc)
Personality:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Fears:
Past:
Romance: (they will be paired up so just put yes)
Orientation: (straight, gay, or bi)
With what kind of person: (this is so if I get one councilor I really like and a ton of lifeguards I can go through and pick the best match for them or vice versa)
Anything else I should know:
Audition/Interview tape:
I also need a few camera people; yes I do not in fact want them to be a nameless ravaging horde. I will take a minimum of five and a maximum of twelve. Here is the outline:
Name:
Nickname:
Age: (14-39)
Gender:
Height:
Weight:
Eye color:
Hair color/style:
Clothes:
Skin Tone: (freckles, birth marks, etc)
Build: (skinny, muscular, hunch backed, well endowed, etc)
Other things about appearance: (hats, jewelry, glasses, braces, etc)
Personality:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Fears: (if they have any)
Past:
Romance: (yes or no, they can be paired up with another camera person, Chris, Chef, or an intern)
With whom:
Anything else I should know:
Audition/Interview tape:
I will also need some producers and sponsors, if you want to be one of those please send a PM. You can use the camera person or intern outline. I also need some new creatures to help torment the campers, this is the one place where I will allow magical creatures, and here is the outline:
Kind of animal/creature: (anything from bear to siren to rabid unicorn or even an alien)
Nickname: (if it has one)
Age: (adult, child, etc)
Gender: (if it has one)
Height:
Weight:
Appearance:
Family:
Background story: (this does not have to be long if it is a bear or raccoon, but if it is an alien of mermaid or something give a bit of information, like how it got there, what's it motivation? Other things like that)
Anything else I should know:
Audition/Interview tape: (just show how it got to the Island)
I believe that is about it, send the outlines of your character/s to me by either reviews or in a PM. Please read the rules before submitting, they are important! I need lots of characters, please submit at least two.
