1Welcome all, to Total Drama Action. In the past season, 22 teens competed against each other in a crappy old summer camp to be subjected to brutal challenges, crappy camp food, and the schemes and alliances of each other all for the sake of a cash prize, that, in hindsight, might not have been worth it. And now, we're doing it all over again. These campers are going to be stuck in an old film lot performing challenges based on movie and television genres. I had originally started this fic earlier, but ran into a slight problem with my account, so I'm starting it completely over.
Sixteen teens shall now go head to head in these movie-related challenges, and you'll be making the teens. Please fill out all of the following categories to the best of your abilities. But first, a few ground rules before you start.
1.) You will have one (1) week to make your characters. Answer all questions, removing what I have filled in the details for the category. Also, please use good grammar and spelling. Some of these categories can be answered with a few words, but the first one is capitalized like a sentence.
2.) Because only original characters will be accepted, do not base your character on something already created, whether it be from a professional source, or from someone else on this site. Don't make carbon copies of characters from Season 1, either. Also, if the character you created is in another fiction on the site, make a new one. Don't make any references to other created characters in other media. (example: "Like Heather, but with longer hair") They will not be accepted.
3.) Be creative and original in your characters attitudes. I don't want to see a plain Jane character with their only exciting feature being an unusual name or ethnicity. Aside from gender and height, I rarely reference physical traits. It is your strategy that will make or break you. Personally, I dislike really weird names since it distracts from what the characters are doing, but I don't care if I have sixteen unusual names if they are unique campers.
4.) There will be no mention of sex aside from being attracted and making out. There is no mention of sexual orientation. Violence is acceptable if it isn't graphic, alcohol, tobacco, and drug use can be referenced, but it will not be performed on the fiction.
5.) Be original, but remember, these are "normal" human teenagers. No magical powers, no mass murderers.
6.) Don't forget to look at the other reviews already here when you see them. I do read all of the reviews.
Here is the form to follow. Please post your characters in the "reviews" section for the first chapter only. This is the only place they'll be accepted. If you have any questions on the quality of my writing, or on my committal to seeing this project to it's conclusion I have another TDI fanfic where you can see a sample of what I can do (It's actually already done, I'm just putting it up in segments). Feel free to read and review it, I would greatly appreciate it.
Name: (First and Last. Middle is optional)
Age: (Minimum age is 14. Maximum is 17. No exceptions)
Gender: (Male or Female. No exceptions. There will be 8 of each competing.)
Nickname: (Optional)
Aesthetic Traits - These are simply to define your character's look, and won't really factor into how your character functions.
Eye color: (Stick to normal colors)
Hair color: (Stick to normal colors)
Height: (Variance is allowed, but be realistic)
Weight: (Variance is allowed, but be realistic)
Hometown: (Must be from America. If it is a major metropolitan area, like New York or Chicago, a city and state are fine. If it's a small city or the country, give an area and a state)
Clothes: (What does the character like to wear? Since these are acting challenges, characters will usually be in costume, but if they do something specific with their clothes, or if they don't do something normal, go ahead. Don't just rattle off outfits. I will, however, need a specific mention of bedclothes.)
Personality Traits - These are not aesthetic. Put a lot of time and thought into these. I will be deciding based on this.
Personality: What is the characters general attitude towards the other campers? Mention things that are both short and long term.
Morality: What is the characters moral compass? Do they play fair with the law, do they skirt it, or do they cheat?
Strategy: What is the character's philosophy at playing the game? Are they the type to make alliances, just go solo and gun for immunity each time?
Likes: (What does the character enjoy? This can be performing a certain action, or it can be a certain item)
Dislikes: (What does the character try to avoid? Again, this can be an action or an item)
Skills/Talents: (What can the character do very well? Be specific about what they do)
Partners: (Who does the character gravitate towards, and why? This is not simply romantic, it can also be what they look for in alliance partners. )
Genres: (Because this is a movie and TV related challenge, I will want a discussion on what types of movies they like, dislike, and even avoid. Be specific; my challenges are tailored for this.)
Errata: (Anything else not mention in other sections)
