Hey there guys! Well, welcome to my main Total Drama project. Call it whatever you want: Total Drama Eggheads VS Jocks VS Fabulous Remade, Total Drama Revamped, or most likely by it's name: Total Drama Isiphepho Island.
Anyway, I've made twenty-two new (diverse, interesting and complex) characters to compete for the grand prize of... Well, it's an unknown grand-prize, however it promises great fortune as the new host, Mel Friday claims.
Now, let the show begin!
"Hey there, boys and girls! Welcome to Isiphepho Island: a haunted island of storm, thunder and rain. In fact, that is where this island earns it's name. Isiphepho means storm in Zulu, and that is where I, your new host Mel Friday, will be hosting the sixth season of Total Drama!" The nineteen-year-old host introduces with her rather charming smile as she stands on the Isiphepho dock which is rather similar to the Wawanakwa dock, however it's longer and larger. Plus, at the end of it there's a rather small, cramped up flat which you can merely assume holds all the contestants this season.
In the background you can see Isiphepho Island, it's a very large yet beautiful island with no trees to be seen, it's mostly just a hilled biome. However, in the background a giant volcano can be spotted with seemingly no lava inside.
"You might be wondering where I came from. After all, you're used to the chiseled host Chris Mclean. Well, that shall remain a secret. However, what shall not, is how the eliminations will work. Come with me." Mel orders the camera-man, the camera statics soon after to reveal a campfire-ceremony similar to Total Drama Islands own one.
"In tribute to Wawanakwa Island, we're going back to the old Campfire Ceremonies. Blah blah blah, each camper of the losing team votes in the confessional, blah blah, the contestant who does not receive a marshmallow is eliminated." Mel lazily states as she chews on what appears to be a marshmallow. "And God, are they delicious." She chuckles as she swallows it.
"By the way, the losing contestant must take the Storm of Shame. Oh, this is my favourite part! The Storm of Shame is a long stretch of land - and you guessed it - many clouds are emitting thunder and rain above. This walk is about thirty-kilometres long, and it leads to the Playa Des Losers. Plus, the contestants get to wear nothing but their underwear as they walk across it! And in this freezing cold weather: honey, it's basically torture." Mel confesses.
The camera then statics for a second time. This time, Mel appears back on the dock.
"For the second time in Total Drama history, twenty-two contestants will be competing. And guess what? They're all new! The only difference is that they're eighteen rather than sixteen." Mel explains.
"Now to meet our first camper... She's hot, she's punk, and she loves a good tattoo! Meet Lexie!" Mel introduces. The door to the flat then opens, and out comes Hawaiian Lexie. She's a rather positive looking girl despite the circumstances of the rain, and has a (now wet) blonde mini-mohawk. She's wearing a black wife-beater and has wicked tattoos all over her arms, but seemingly nowhere else. She has some blue-jeans on and leather-boots, too.
She's fairly tall, has quite a small chest and little noticeable toning on her arms or abs. Her hips are quite thin, similar to her waist.
"Mel," Lexie walks towards the host and fist-bumps her. "Pleased to meet you again." Lexie says as if they've met before. Lexie appears to not be feeling the cold despite wearing such little clothing.
"Lexie, it's been two-years. You look even... Dumber." Mel mocks. "Where's your jacket?" Mel questions as she looks the biker-girl up and down.
Lexie appears to ignore Mel's remark as she looks upon her own wife-beater. "I don't need it. Babe, I live in a cold place. I'm used to this." Lexie chuckles as she walks past Mel and towards the end of the dock.
"Hm, okay then." Mel growls. "Next up, he's intimidating, he's gangsta', but kinda sexy." Mel purrs. "It's Mick!" She introduces as the door opens for a second time, however in a more violent manner.
This time a Caucasian Italian man who's almost completely covered in clothing (you can only see his face) appears. He has a dark-blue bowler-cap with some shades over them, he's wearing a dark leather-jacket and a black shirt underneath with a rather rude image of a hand flipping the bird. He has rather large muscles and is quite tall, some light-brown hair is seen under his cap.
"Hey there, kid. I heard you called my name? Its been awhile." Mick asks Mel with a rough Italian accent and an intimidating glare.
"Yep. But actually, I'm a year older than you, kid. Learn to use your mouth." Mel glares, standing her ground as if they had a previous conflict before the show had even begun. Mick growls at her before spitting on her shoe.
"Please," Mel hisses. "Proceed onwards to the other end of the dock before I knock your teeth out."
"Whatever, kid. Don't f**k with me or it'll be the end for you though, you got that?" Mick intimidates, causing Mel to back down.
"Good." Mick responds as he walks toward Lexie.
"Anyway... Next, she's adorable, she's fit, and she gets all the attention from the boys! It's Kitty!" Mel introduces as the door opens, however more hesitantly this time to reveal a short girl with matching short, wavy light-brown hair which reaches down to the back of her neck.
She has a sweet, feline-like face and a lovely smile with rather long ears. She's half-German and half-American. She wears a rather long green t-shirt with matching long green trousers, which have little style. However, she also has beautiful black furry shoes on with matching gloves and a very furry coat. Kitty is a small woman, however has a slightly toned-body (as result of her love for swimming) and has quite medium-sized breasts. She also has fairly wide-hips for her general size.
Kitty wears a small frown as she walks towards Mel.
"Sup, gal." Mel chuckles, however Kitty ignores her.
"Yo, Kit-Kat, sorry 'bout what I did a couple of years ago. Is that good enough?" Mel apologises as Kitty looks slightly angry.
"Listen, Mel, I'm sorry but what you did was so f***ing wrong. I really want to be there for you, but I find it difficult to forgive certain people and you are one of them. I gave you a chance already, we all did, but you blew it. Just... Please don't be shocked if other people are pretty f***ing pissed off with you in there for the sh*t you pulled last time." Kitty admits with her fairly high-pitched voice.
"Well... Kay then. You can proceed to the end of the dock." Mel rolls her eyes at the negative attention as Kitty pats her back and moves towards Lexie and Mick.
Kitty - Confessional -
"Well, it looks like it's my first confessional of the season. I always used to like the confessionals... Uh- Anyways, I'm actually quite excited to be here. As a speech and poem writer I really like to talk in interviews, etc. So this confessional is pretty great for me!" Kitty chuckles.
Empty - Confessional -
"Next of all: he's extremely acrobat and fun, but really weird! It's Gabe!" Mel introduces as the door to the flat opens, Gabe running out extremely quickly.
"WOOHOO!" The Jungle-Boy yells in excitement. "Ah, dude! Its been so long!" Gabe chuckles, lightly punching Mel's shoulder who winces in pain as she rubs where he hit her.
Gabe is wearing a rather long loin-cloth... And pretty much nothing else! He has long, curly black hair and a body which bares resemblance to Tarzan. His funky light-blue eyes say a lot about his happy-go-lucky personality.
"Oh my goodness, this rain ROCKS!" Gabe laughs as he begins to do a rain-dance. Mel rolls her eyes.
"Gabe?" Gabe ends his rain-dance, giving Mel a confused look.
"Y'know, the other end of the dock is that-a-way." Mel points.
"Oh! Okay!" Gabe chuckles as he skips towards the other three contestants.
"Hey guys! Nice to see you again!" Gabe says to others as he walks towards them. However, Mick automatically backs away from him.
"Kid, you smell like my dog's sh*t and my dog's sh*t doesn't smell very nice." Mick scoffs, causing Gabe to frown.
"Mick, that's really rude." Lexie says, standing up for Gabe.
"Mhm! Maybe we shouldn't listen to that asshole from now on." Kitty smiles, patting Gabe's back.
"Well thanks, guys." Gabe chuckles.
"Next up: she's strong, she's a Parkour Expert and a MeTuber with 200k subscribers! Plus, she has lavender-hair! It's Viola!"
The rather voluptuous lavender-haired woman presses her matching lavender-glasses up for a second to glare at her competition. With a straight face, she lets go of her glasses and walks towards Mel with her hands on her hips.
Viola has long lavender-hair which is currently in a ponytail, she has tanned skin with quite pointy features on her face. Her body is quite fit, however is covered by her large furry white coat. She also wears very large boots which covers half of her legs and a rain-hat to block the rain from her face. She's fairly tall and has quite big-breasts, her hips are also quite thin.
"Viola! Greetings!" Mel chuckles. However, Viola ignores her and continues to walk towards the other end of the dock.
"Pfft, rude." Mel glares in response.
"Sup, Viola! Man, it has been awhile. I've been watching you on MeTube lately. You've been getting some subs, eh?" Lexie chuckles.
"Hello there, Lexie. It's... Interesting to encounter you again." Viola glares as she looks Lexie up and down. "And actually, my growth-rate has been unfortunately slow lately, which kinda angers me." Viola sighs as she lifts her sunglasses once more.
"I understand. Some things really piss me off too, haha." Kitty chuckles, however Viola hisses in response.
"Mind the language." Viola says.
"Oh... I'm sorry." Kitty responds.
"Yeah, she didn't even say anything too bad!" Gabe claims, siding with Kitty.
"What are you, a pussy? You can't take a couple of f***in' cusses, bitch?" Mick mocks. However, Viola punches him across the face in response causing him to yell out. The other contestants gasp, while Mel smiles and signals the camera to capture this argument.
"Bitch, I'll make sure that you'll regret this!" Mick spits at Viola, who rubs the spit off of her chest.
"My pleasure." Viola bows.
Viola - Confessional -
"Great. Day one on the island and I have a conflict with 1... 2... 3... 4... Yup, just about everyone. Oh well, I prefer being alone anyway. I'm a loner. But I swear, I'm gonna beat Mick to a pulp later... That guy is a complete knob!" Viola growls.
Empty - Confessional -
"He's weird, sly and eerie! Rex!" Mel introduces. The door then opens to introduce an Asian man with a green backwards cap on. He cautiously glances around the dock in case of any... Bad-apples.
He seems to enjoy the camo-type fashion as he has a camo jacket on with a dark red shirt underneath, baggy-jeans to cover his rather skinny legs.
As Rex looks at the other contestants, he begins to walk towards Mel.
"So... You're the new host?" Rex eyes Mel up and down before taking a step backwards.
"Um... Yep?" Mel responds, irked out by this noticeably strange man.
"Hmm..." Rex begins to study Mel even closer. "Okay. But I will always have my eye on you." Rex says, walking past her and towards the other contestants.
"Weirdo." Mel rolls her eyes.
Rex - Confessional -
"Mel is the host even after she pulled that incident last time? Coincidence? I think not." Rex growls.
Empty - Confessional -
"Okay, these excitable intros are getting really boring. It's Kimberly!" Mel yawns as a very tall, rather oddly dressed Brazilian brunette steps out of the flat.
The mute girl squints her large dark-brown eyes as she looks upon Mel. Kimberly wears very interesting clothing: quite a loose black corset, a medium-length purple skirt and knee-high black high-heels, it's almost as if she's living in the past. Her hair is quite thick and long, but is put in one large plait. She seems slightly chubby and she has quite small-breasts. However, her hips are rather wide which matches her slightly weighty body.
"Sup, Kim! Nice weather today, eh?" Mel chuckles at Kimberly who looks into the sky before shaking her head.
Kimberly begins to use her hands to produce sign-language: first of all, she makes a cloud symbol with her hand before making a thunder sound with her mouth, causing Mel to pat her on the back.
In response, Kimberly lifts an eyebrow. "You really don't understand sarcasm, do you?" Mel chuckles, causing Kimberly's face to drop. She then shoves Mel away from her and walks towards the end of the dock with every other contestant.
"The first mute on Total Drama, hm?" Rex suspiciously asks as Kimberly sighs.
Kimberly - Confessional -
"I hate sarcasm AND being in front of a camera. So far this has been terrible. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to use my intelligence to win the prize once again." Kimberly uses sign-language as subtitles appear.
Empty - Confessional -
"Genghis, come on out!" Mel calls as a rather snobby looking Indian man steps out of the door. He's wearing a blue shirt and jeans, he has dark skin and quite short hair which is sleeked upwards.
Genghis walks towards Mel with his arms folded and his head turned from hers.
"Hmf... Cheap little island you have here, huh, new Chris?" Genghis mocks as he stands in front of Mel.
"Actually, this island was actually not very cheap at all or little." Mel replies, causing Genghis to gasp.
"Well, I obviously knew that!" the IT-worker blushes with his rather irritating voice.
"Okay then. Move along." Mel chuckles, pushing him slightly. The skinny-boy growls back at her in arrogance as he walks towards the others. Mel can't help but giggle as he walks past her.
"Zaltana! Ready to come out?" Mel asks as the door bursts open, and out comes a native-american woman with a rather stern and angry glare on her face.
She has a rather fit body however is quite short. Her long, long dark-brown hair reaches to her calves while her soul-piercing green eyes give her a very serious and intimidating feel.
Her clothing isn't the type that a typical Huntress would wear, it's actually quite normal. She wears a dark brown shirt and a rather furry pair of black trousers. However, the strange thing about her is her wolf-headdress which reaches down to the back of her knees. A bow is apparent on her back with several arrows. She has a flat-chest and a bit of muscle-toning, with average-sized hips.
"Zaltana! Hah, it really has been long. Gosh, you've really grown out that hair!" Mel chuckles as Zaltana looks her up and down in response.
"Mel. It has been awhile." Zaltana nods. "I wish it had stayed that way." Zaltana bluntly responds as she walks towards the other contestants.
"Dang, talk about a tough crowd! Does anyone like me here?" Mel asks.
"I do!" The camera-man smiles, causing Mel to glare at him.
"Shut up Carl! You're not supposed to speak during the show!" Mel hisses, causing Carl to frown.
"Oh... Sorry." He chuckles.
Zaltana - Confessional -
"I'm only coming back to this horrible place of torture to make my father, Gomda, proud and to win this pathetic game. No more than that." Zaltana confirms.
Empty - Confessional -
"Jayson? You're next, buddy!" Mel calls. Soon afterwards, the door opens to reveal an... Interestingly excited man.
"Haha, alright baby! Jayson McCue in the house and I'm here to win it!" Jayson smiles, beginning to moonwalk towards Mel. Jayson is Canadian, however he has tanned-skin and a fairly lean and muscular body-type. His blonde-hair is sleeked back, revealing his rather average appearance.
His clothing is extremely 90s with a rainbow jacket and a purple shirt underneath. His trousers are silver and he has rather large black shoes.
"Mel." Jayson greets as he claps Mel's hand, continuing to moonwalk past her. Mel's confused look continues to follow Jayson as he walks beside Kitty.
He looks her up and down before winking at her, causing her to give a nervous smile in response.
Jayson - Confessional -
"Y-Y-Yo, my home-slices! Check it out, I'm on TV! Haha, well Kitty's totally hot, but she's possibly too modern for me. I'm looking for a chick who loves all things Retro like me. it kinda sucks that there isn't one yet, but I suppose I have to suck it up and play the game!" Jayson chuckles.
Empty - Confessional -
"Hey, Nancy, it's your turn." Mel requests as a Spanish woman walks out of the door.
"Ah, It's so sweet to be here again!" Nancy giggles as she walks towards Mel.
Nancy has pure black hair which is tied into a bun. Her very dark beautiful blue-eyes are probably her most distinctive physical trait, however. Her skin is quite pale and her height isn't short or tall, but in the middle as she stands at 5'4.
Nancy has fairly large breasts and wears a rather skimpy purple tank-top, but has a very furry coat over it to keep her from getting cold. Also, she has a hood over her head and a pair of high-heels, plus some jeans. Her hips are slightly wide, but not very noticeably.
"Hey, beautiful." Nancy flirts with Mel, who chuckles in response.
"Nancy: always such a flirt." Mel laughs.
"Hehe, yep!" Nancy chuckles with Mel as she walks towards the other contestants.
"Hey, Nancy. It's been awhile." Lexie chuckles.
"Lexie, my punk-babe! Hey!" Nancy continues to flirt as Lexie rubs the back of her own head.
"Oh... Hey!" Gabe admires Nancy's beauty as she turns to face him.
"Sup, hottie! How are you?" Nancy winks.
"Haha... Uh, great." Gabe nervously chuckles.
"Nice!" Nancy smiles.
Nancy - Confessional -
"Hiya TV-watchers! I'm just awfully happy to be here! I really hope I can win this time, but I'm more here to make friends." Nancy admits.
Empty - Confessional -
"Well, would we look at the time! We have 11 contestants already, that's half of our cast! Now, here's how this is going to work: you eleven are probably wondering what team you're going to be placed on... Well, worry no longer! Because you eleven are the first team!" Mel states. A few look excited, while some others don't.
"You mean I have to work with her?" Mick questions as he points towards Viola, who snarls at him in response.
"Yep!" Mel responds, causing Mick to sigh.
"Lexie, Mick, Kitty, Gabe, Viola, Rex, Kimberly, Genghis, Zaltana, Jayson AND Nancy: you are the Ferocious Felines! Congratulations!" Mel chuckles as an orange-logo of a large cat-paw appears above the new team.
Lexie - Confessional -
"Do I mind anyone on my team? Nah, not really. Except possibly Mick." Lexie claims.
Mick - Confessional -
"The good thing about having a team you hate so much is that you can torture them and torture them until there's nobody left." Mick laughs sadistically.
Kitty - Confessional -
"Hmm... My team's pretty good. I just really hope they don't f**k it up at a challenge and blame me for it. That's probably my worst fear coming into this game. But they really don't want to make me angry, trust me. I'm not nice when I'm angry." Kitty laughs.
Gabe - Confessional -
"Woohoo! My team rules, man! We got brains, brawns and even beauty!" Gabe marks off.
Viola - Confessional -
"I'm fine with my team as long as we can do well at challenges. However, I don't depend on any of them socially. Not one of them." Viola bluntly states.
Rex - Confessional -
"Great... I missed out on everyone related to my conspiracy theories." Rex frowns. "But wait... Or have I?" Rex strokes his chin in thought.
Kimberly - Confessional -
"My team seem intelligent enough. Especially that IT-guy. However, I may have to rely on my own IQ for this season." Kimberly signals with her hands.
Genghis - Confessional -
"So, we have nine idiots, a smart mute girl and one extremely intelligent man. Looks like I may have to carry the team on my shoulders this time." Genghis smiles arrogantly.
Zaltana - Confessional -
"Hmf." Zaltana mutters at the camera.
Jayson - Confessional -
"Dudes, this is FREAKY awesome! Except a couple of our teammates may anchor us down, especially that Nancy chick. Sure, she's hot, but she looks kinda... Weak. Sorry!" Jayson confesses.
Nancy - Confessional -
"Heck yes, my team rules! I cannot wait to get this party started!" Nancy smiles, bouncing in excitement.
So we have in fact reached the end of episode 1: part 1 (out of 3)! I hope you guys liked it! Sorry for the fairly short chapter, I'm just really wanting to get the story up and running. If you're confused about the contestants knowing eachother before the competition and the 'incident' Mel pulled 'last season' then please be patient as this will be described in a distant chapter, just give the story time to unravel please. Until next time!
PS: Sorry about the limited use of Itallics. This is because of my iPad. From now on, I pledge that I will use my computer to write Isiphepho Island. Sorry!
