JESSE RAYNE
VAPOREON - MALE - 25 YEARS OF AGE
A Vaporeon sits down on his bed in the corner of a small bedroom, with a pronounced theme of blue strewn throughout.
The walls are a baby blue, matching the curtains. The carpet below is a darker blue, this matching the comforter on the twin-sized bed the Vaporeon currently sits on. The room is impeccably tidy, especially what seems to be one of the only non-blue items in the room, a white nightstand, looking clean as the day it was painted.
The Vaporeon gives a few light coughs as he eyes the camera, looking a fair bit nervous.
"E-E-Er... H-Hi..." The Vaporeon starts slowly, looking away from the camera, "M-M-My n-name is... E-E-Er... J-J-Jesse R-Rayne... A-A-Age 25..."
"A-A-And... T-T-This is m-my au-audition tape f-f-for... T-T-Total P-Poke-Drama..."
He pauses for about ten seconds to take a few deep breaths, shivering a fair bit... He gulps, slowly looking back toward the camera, locking eyes, "I-I-I'm t-t-trying t-t-to j-j-join b-because... M-M-My m-mother r-r-recommended I-I sh-should... T-To try a-a-and... O-O-Open up a-a-a bit m-more..."
"I-I uh..." He shudders, "I only r-recent-ly e-evolved... A-A month a-a-ago... T-Though I alwa-ys d-dreamed of b-being a V-V-Vaporeon, s-s-so... I-I-I got m-my w-wish..."
"W-W-We're a p-p-poorer f-f-family, s-so... W-We r-really d-d-didn't h-have a-a lot to o-of money t-t-to buy w-w-ways of e-e-evolution... A-A-And since I-I-I was th-the runt of e-e-eight... I-I-I e-e-ended up e-e-evolving l-l-last..."
"I-I-I was t-t-teased a-a-a lot i-in sc-school for i-i-it... I-I-I'm just g-g-glad it's o-o-over..."
He goes quiet again, looking down toward the floor... He's in a fit of shivering, getting increasingly nervous as each second ticks by...
"I-I-I uh..."
"T-T-That's r-r-r-really i-i-it... I-I-I... D-D-Don't know w-w-what else t-t-to say..."
"I... C-C-Consider m-me...? I-I-I gu-guess...?"
Suddenly, the spotlight is on a computer screen, showing the Vaporeon continuing to just sit there, awkwardly, quietly... Before he gets up and slowly walks over to turn off the camera...
Two mons are watching as the video ends, one sitting to the left of the computer, and one larger one standing to the right.
"Trash like the others?" The mon on the left says, a light male voice being released.
"Trash? Are you kidding? Darling, he has no social skills, and he's a runt!" The voice on the right perks up, a much more emotionally driven female voice emanating, with a slightly British accent.
"Yeah... So... Trash?"
"No way, every reality show needs an innocent little cinnamon bun of a character that needs to be protected at all costs! That's how you pull the audience in! Get them attracted to this character, and when they're eliminated, the audience gets absolutely devastated, and has to keep watching to make sure everyone who caused them to leave gets taken out too!"
"I... Okay?"
"He's gotta be in darling, he's got personality, even if that personality is whining and crying!"
"Well, you do have a knack for discovering talent."
"Of course I do, I discovered myself decades ago, and I've been in movie after movie ever since I was 7~."
"That's true, I guess. You come from a child-star background, and pokemon who comes from those backgrounds are nothing but successful throughout their entire career, every last one of them."
"Enough with the sarcasm. Drag his tape into the accepted folder, and let's move on."
"Don't we have to mark the ones we accept with a stereotype?"
"I already said it, didn't I? 'The Cinnamon Bun!'"
"That isn't really him, though. Isn't the cinnamon bun style of character supposed to be pure and innocent, and not a mess nearing an emotional breakdown second by passing second?"
"I call the shots darling, so mark it as I say!"
"Okay, okay..."

ASHLYN ASHBEE
VULPIX - FEMALE - 18 YEARS OF AGE
PARTICIPANT 3
DRAKE KIP
RIOLU - MALE - 18 YEARS OF AGE
It's a beautifully pleasant day outside. The sky is its traditional blue with little to no clouds running interference, with a hot spring sun beaming down onto those below.
Two of those below happen to be a Vulpix and a Riolu, sitting next to each other in a large backyard, leaning back against a wooden fence. The Vulpix sits with her front legs planted firmly on the ground, and the Riolu sits beside her with his arms to his sides.
"Hello!" The two wave toward the camera!
"I'm Ashlyn Ashbee," The Vulpix spouts first, turning to the Riolu.
The Riolu nods to Ashlyn before directing his attention back toward the camera, "And I'm Drake Kip!"
"And both of us are BFF's at 18 years old!" They cheer together once more, before falling into a small fit of giggles.
"Hahah, we feel we'd be totally perfect to play on Total Poke-Drama! Even if it's a competition of some sort, it's not always about winning! It's about having fun!" Drake smiles after going off, looking back to Ashlyn as she speaks up next.
"Right as rain, though winning is a huge perk that, trust me, we're still gonna be shooting for! And if we can't win together as friends..."
"Then, one of us can still win!" Ashlyn shouts!
"Then we can win as a couple!" Drake shouts!
The two mons shout out at the same time, though their answers seemed to differ... Ashlyn looks confused, turning to Drake, "Er... What did you say?"
"Oh uh, I said one of us can still win too, of course, heheh," Drake turns his head away in a little blush, the Vulpix giving him a weird look for a few moments...
Before turning back to the camera with a shrug, "Welp, if you say so! I must've misheard you the first time and thought you said something else, heheh," Ashlyn chuckles it off, Drake joining in with more of an awkward chuckle.
"But yeah, feel free to put us in! We'll still be friends till the end, right, Drake?"
Drake nods, "Right."
"We'll be giving it our all, believe that!"
The scene resumes on the same computer screen as before, with Ashlyn and Drake continuing to cheer each other on!
The mon on the left reaches over toward the mouse and shakes it a bit, looking at the time left.
"Wuh- THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES?!"
"That's determination right there!" The much larger female mon on the right spouted, chuckling.
"The limit for audition tapes is five minutes!"
"They must've felt five wasn't enough!"
"It literally looked like it was just wrapping up too!"
"I don't think we need to see too much more of this, of course, they're in!"
"W-Why?!"
"Reason 1, Thirty-Seven-minute audition tape."
"They broke the rul-"
"Reason 2, that Riolu is totally trying to get in the Vulpix's pants!"
"I- Why is that a reason?!"
"Hey, romance! Good TV!"
"She seems way too oblivious to even notice, how does that count for romance?"
"It's the kind of romance everyone loves watching on TV! The one-sided romance that never seems to go anywhere!"
"That's not what people li-!"
"Hey! I've been in countless movies and starred on countless TV shows, what have you done?"
"I-"
"Ya got me a coffee, and ya argued with me. Honestly, you're more of an assistant than a co-host, and that's what I'm gonna treat you as~."
"But that's-"
"Ah ah ah, just go ahead and give them their stereotypes! 'The Oblivious Teen' and 'The Hopeless Romantic!'"
"That second one is a bit extreme for an 18-year-old..."
"Put it in!"
The mon on the left sighs in defeat...
Ashlyn Ashbee - The Oblivious Teen
Drake Kip - The Hopeless Romantic
PARTICIPANT 4
CORINNE WUNAY
RAICHU - FEMALE - 39 YEARS OF AGE
A Raichu stands in a small, somewhat cramped looking hallway. Behind her is a wall, painted a dark brown. Along the wall are many, many framed pictures, each of a different pokemon.
The Raichu gives a smile, "Hello, my names Corinne, age 39. Sure I'm a bit old, but..." Her smile suddenly forms into a wicked grin, "I can handle the young ones. In fact... I quite prefer them."
She turns back toward the wall of pictures, "See this? This is my wall of guys. Guys I've manipulated as I please, to get what I want out of them. Guys I've managed to pull into bed with me if you can catch my drift~."
"Despite my age, I can clearly get what I want. Hell, the most recent addition to the wall..." She pauses, crouching down below cameras sight and seemingly grabbing a photo off the lower wall, lifting it up and showing it off. It was a Charizard, and by the looks of the gold chains around his neck, he's loaded, "Flamethrone here... Why, he was added just two days ago~."
"I'm more than capable of getting what I want. I may not be the strongest in the competition... But I damn sure am the most manipulative, cunning bitch I know~."
"So go ahead, put me onto the Total Poke-Drama. I'm only a summer away from winning a shit ton of cash!"
"So... A cougar?"
"Cougars aren't 39 years old, assistant!"
"Uh... My name is Quarle."
"But to me, you're just my assistant~" The female voice chuckles, pausing the still moving video of the Raichu turning off the camera.
"So, what do we do with her?"
"Someone who can get what she wants and looks damn good while doing it? Reminds me of someone..."
"Doesn't remind me of anyone."
"I'm talking about me! She reminds me of me!" The larger mon shouts, reaching a paw over, more like a front leg, and slapping the back of the head of her assistant.
"Oww! Why the hell'd you hit me?!"
"Cause you offended me. Now, add her in."
Rubbing the back of his head, the smaller mon on the left, Quarle, lets off a little, annoyed sigh, reaching over for the mouse, "What's the stereotype?"
"'The Playgirl~'"
Quarle mumbles lowly to himself, "At least it matches up a little bit..." Before changing the name of the file.
