It's been about three days and I've gotten so many great suggestions for characters. Thank you all so much. I'm not done choosing yet, but here is the first update with half the roster. Picking is by no means an easy job especially with how great a lot of the characters you've all suggested are. Let me say I haven't officially rejected anyone yet. If you don't see your character here, it means I'm still thinking on if I want to use them or someone else. The most important part of accepting someone is their dynamic with the rest of the cast. I'm picking the people who I think will work best together to create interesting friendships, rivalries, and romances. Honestly I'm so close to caving and expanding the roster a little bit because of how many great choices there are. Of course, if I do make that choice before I'm done the largest I'm making it is 24. Like I said I want this to be a small and manageable story unlike my last one that had 30 characters. Now then let's move onto the cast.

Heroes:

1. Weiss Schnee from RWBY

2. Puss in Boots from Shreck

3. Allura from Voltron

4. King Dedede from Kirby

5. Celica from Fire Emblem Echoes

Villains:

1. Super Macho Man from Punch-Out!

2. Yzma from The Emperor's new Groove

3. 2D from Gorillaz

4. Harley Quinn from Batman

5. Hans from Frozen

That's what we have so far. One thing I will ask is if I can get some more females, especially female villains. Right now I've gotten around 45 total suggestions. Of those only 15 have been females, and of those 15 less than 6 have been villains. The males are outnumbering the females by quite a lot and I did say I wanted an even gender split. I know I said I wouldn't worry about gender for heroes and villains, but I don't want to have just two or three female villains and the rest of the females all being heroes. You can suggest more characters if you want, or you can add some ideas for how your suggested characters could interact with these 10 if you want. Like I said the most important thing to consider is how well everyone works together. In a game of this nature interactions are the most important and are the main reason I'm picking those that I do. Before I go I don't want to leave you with just an update, so here's a few small character shorts about how some of these people ended up competing on Total Drama Clash! Hope you Enjoy. I might do more if you like them.

Super Macho Man Short

Super Macho Man was having another rough day. He had trained for months, but had just lost to the World Champion Little Mac once again. As he picked up the newspaper all he could see was another article about Mac's unbeatable record. He ripped the newspaper up and sat down on his couch.

"There's no way that kid can keep winning. I was a star long before he showed up, and once he's out of the way they'll come crawling back to me." He said.

He was about to go work out when he heard someone knocking on his doorbell. He angrily opened the door, but found that there was nobody there, but a letter on the ground. He picked it up and smiled after reading it. Super Macho Man quickly made a phone call to some of the other WVBA boxers that had lost to Little Mac and arranged a meeting. Not much longer the boxers were at his mansion.

"You'd better not be wasting my time." Sandman told him as he took a seat.

"Cool off Sandman." Super Macho Man said.

"Well why did you call us here?" Piston Hondo asked. "We aren't exactly close acquaintances." He said.

"I know that. Personally I can't stand most of you. The thing is we've all lost to that runt Little Mac too many times." Super Macho Man said.

"Hey, you've got to admit the kid's got style." Disco Kid said.

"No he doesn't. As long as that kid is the world champ, our reputation is meaningless. Do you know how many times I've gotten turned down for an exclusive contract since losing to him? Too many times." Super Macho Man said angrily.

"You were never popular to begin with Macho Man. The ladies always enjoyed seeing me fight more than anyone else in the ring." Don Flamenco said smelling his rose.

Super Macho Man was about to get physical with Don Flamenco for that statement, but Sandman got in the way of them wanting to be done with this meeting already.

"What do you want from us? You wouldn't call us here if you just wanted to complain about Mac." Sandman said.

"Well I've got the key to taking Mac down. I got an invite for a game called Total Drama Clash! Apparently the winner not only get's a million dollar prize, they also get endless amount of fame from this thing." Super Macho Man told them.

"A reality show. You called us here to tell us that you're going to be on a reality show. This is a waste of my time." Sandman growled storming off.

"Sandman has a point. What does you being on a reality show have to do with us and Mac?" Great Tiger asked him.

Super Macho Man groaned at how difficult the other boxers were being.

"Look I need you guys to keep the media distracted. They always write about the kid's wins for some reason so keep fighting him. If I leave the WVBA to take part in this game and the media reports on it, then he will know what I'm doing. If nobody knows, then I'll be able to win this thing and take that kid down once I come back." Super Macho Man told them.

"You must be going loony if you think a reality show is the key to beating Mac." Aryan Ryan said laughing.

"It's not just a reality show. The letter says it'll be a test to find the toughest person out there. I'll get some training in that Mac will never see coming. Do this for me and I'll give you all a cut of the million I win. It's not like I need the cash anyway." Super Macho Man said.

Most of the boxers walked out of his mansion not wanting to take part in his ludicrous scheme. They had better things to do then lose to Little Mac just to cover for Super Macho Man. The only ones who stayed were those who either needed the money, or were too scared of Super Macho Man to leave. While there were only a few left they would be enough to keep his absence from the boxing scene unnoticed.

"Watch out Total Drama Clash! because Super Macho Man is going to be the champ this time." He said before going to work out.

Yzma Short

"Kronk how many times do I have to tell you the plan." Yzma yelled at her assistance.

"I think I have it this time Yzma. We pretend to be door-to-door salespeople. Once Kuzco opens the door we get him to sign up for an expensive magazine subscription. What he doesn't know is that the first magazine is the only issue he'll be getting. Then when he tries to call us for the second magazine we don't answer." Kronk said.

Yzma looked at him blankly before sighing. "Kronk how does that plan lead to me becoming Empress?" Yzma asked him.

"Umm... Kuzco will become so sad that he didn't get his new magazine he'll move to another country with better magazine subscriptions." Kronk answered.

"No you fool. I don't know how I'll ever become Empress when you are the only person I have around. You can't do anything right." Yzma said.

"That's not true. I always pick up the mail for you just in time." Kronk said.

He handed Yzma her mail,and she noticed an odd letter addressed to her. She read through it before seeing an opportunity presenting itself to her.

"Kronk look at this letter and tell me you're thinking what I'm thinking." Yzma said. Kronk read through it quickly and then looked back at Yzma.

"Wow I can't believe they would want someone of your age on a reality show. I mean those things are a little dangerous, not to mention it requires a lot of personal skills that you don't really have." Kronk said.

"No you idiot. I'm thinking about how this will be my ultimate plan to become Empress once and for all. There will be several villainous people in this game. All I need to do is recruit some of the more powerful ones and I'll have all the strength I need to become Empress. This plan can't fail. It's Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant!" Yzma said laughing evilly.

"Wait, but what if you don't win or get eliminated first? Your plan kind of relies on you making it far enough in this thing to get allies." Kronk pointed out.

"I'll work out the details later Kronk. Right now I need to get packing." Yzma said before getting a variety of potions that could help her out in the game and putting them into a briefcase.

Puss In Boots short

Puss was taking care of Shrek's babies with Donkey while Shrek and Fiona were out. While he enjoyed spending time with them, he was starting to miss his life as an adventurer and bandit.

"Donkey do you ever think that life is beginning to get a little repetitive around the swamp? Puss asked him.

"What do you mean Puss?" Donkey asked.

"I enjoy spending time with Shrek and Fiona, but I crave for a true adventure like I had before." Puss said.

"Weren't you a bandit before Shrek found you?" Donkey asked him.

"I was no mere bandit. I was the legendary Puss In Boots. I will always be grateful to Shrek for sparing my life, but the call of adventure is too loud for me to ignore." Puss said.

"I think that's the door that's too loud for you to ignore." Donkey said. He went to go open the door while Puss finished putting the babies to sleep. "Hey Puss there's a letter for you." Donkey told him.

Puss grabbed the letter seeing it was indeed addressed to the legendary Puss In Boots. He read through it and his desire for adventure had been heard.

"Donkey you will not believe this opportunity that has presented to me." Puss said eagerly.

"Did you win a free cruise for you and you're best friend?" Donkey asked.

"What no." Puss said causing Donkey to frown. "I have been invited to partake in a thrilling game for glory and riches. I do not know who else shall be attending, but they will not be prepared for Puss In Boots." Puss said pulling out his sword and holding it proudly.

Donkey looked at the letter and noticed the million dollar prize that was mentioned. "Wow Puss if you win this thing then you're going to be swimming in moolah." Donkey said.

"Do not worry Donkey. If I were to win this then I shall proudly share the money with you and Shrek. I owe the two of you so much. Now then I must be off to pack before the game begins." Puss said. Donkey noticed that in all the excitement they accidentally woke up the babies, but he decided he'd take care of it. Puss was having to much fun getting ready for the big game.
