I recently came into TD fanfic and I really enjoyed the ones with OC contestants. So much so that I've created my own shortly after.
Not much else to say, so on with the story!
Disclaimer: No! I don't own Total Drama, Chris or Chef. Only the contestants in this story are my own.
(The scene opens up to an overhead view of 4 small islands surrounding the biggest one in the middle. The middle island had a large clearing in the center surrounded with trees that filled up the rest of the island. Of the smaller islands, the one north of the middle island looked like a beach, with sand on most of it and a large cliff with a waterfall on one end. The island to the east of the middle one was around the same size as the beach island. This one was full of only grass with a large dome in the middle. The third island that was to the south of the middle seemed to be an old abandoned neighbourhood. then the final island, to the west of the middle island, was the bigger of the small islands. On one half of the island, there was a large forest and on the other side was a clearing with some cabins along the outside. The camera zooms in on the dock on the cleared side of the last mentioned island where one Chris Mclean is seen grinning.) "Hello, and welcome to an all new season of Total Drama. This summer our crew and I discovered some islands just outside of Canada and decided to host our season here. We brought in an all new cast of 24 teenagers to compete for the opportunity to win the next 1 million dollars. Throughout the next few weeks, teens from all over will be staying on these set of islands that we found, and modified to our liking, to battle it out for your entertainment! Stay tuned to meet the new cast this season on Total! Drama! Lost Islands!"
Intro (will be included next episode)
Chris stood with a clipboard in hand at a pristine loading doc as a boat pulled up. "The first contestant to arrive is Avery," Chris said, directing his attention to the camera rather than the girl in front of him.
"Hiya Chris" The girl greeted him. She was of average height, with wavy strawberry blonde hair that reached her mid-back and dark blue eyes. She wore a plain black tank top and black short-shorts with orange flip-flops. She carried with her a large blue rolling bag that seemed to be bursting at the seams.
Chris briefly returned the greeting before noticing that the person from the next boat was making their way over. The next contestant was a tall and lanky boy who had brown bushy hair that just fell short of his shoulders. He had pale skin, a crooked smile and big black rimmed glasses covering his brown eyes. He was wearing a plain green polo shirt and khaki shorts with big framed black glasses. " Anthony! Welcome to the island." Anthony made his way towards the other side of the dock where Avery was now standing.
"Pleased to meet your acquaintance m'lady" he greeted her. She stared at him blandly before rolling her eyes and looking at the next boat to arrive.
Out stepped a tanned buff guy with curly blonde hair. He had blue eyes and a cocky grin. He was wearing a white wife-beater and blue gym shorts. "Everyone, this is Collin," Chris introduced the boy.
"Yo Mclean, you may as well just give me the money now!" the boy chuckled arrogantly as he walked by the host.
Avery whipped her head around after hearing that, "Oh I don't think so, I'll go down kicking before losing this competition." the girl piped back, straightening her posture in attempts of intimidating him.
"Ya… don't think you're too much of a threat." the boy responded after noticing just how small she was in comparison. Avery just scowled before turning back around.
***Confessional: Avery***
Avery sat looking directly at the camera. "I don't like him. At. All" she said with a look of disdain on her face.
The next boat to arrive dropped off two passengers. The first was an Egyptian boy with curly, bright magenta hair hanging over his white rimmed glasses. He was wearing a white shirt covered in various colours of paint splatters and yellow shorts. The boy had an irritated look on his face, which one could only guess came from having to spend the boat ride with the girl he was currently quickening his pace towards Chris to get away from.
The other contestant that came off the boat was a pale girl with freckles and light brown wavy hair. She was wearing a blue sports bra, black running shorts and purple sneakers. She was carrying a large rifle, the strap hanging naturally from her right arm.
"Next up are Nasir and Holland" Chris announced before getting a proper look and noticing the rifle that Holland was carrying, " No, no, no! No weapons Holland! Put it in the bucket" Chris demanded pointing to a large red bucket that went unnoticed until now.
This made Holland's eyes widen. "What?" she asked, "I have amazing aim, and it's not like I'm gonna hit someone or something. I only brought it for practice, scouts honour" She rambled ending in a salute.
"Still a no, put the rifle in the bucket" Chris deadpanned, once again gesturing to the bucket beside him.
Holland huffed irritably before rolling her eyes and giving her beloved rifle up. After doing so she went to stand next to the other competitors, making sure to stay away from Nasir.
***Confessional: Holland***
Holland looked down from the camera guiltily, "Nasir doesn't like me," she nervously giggled "I got way too competitive in monopoly back there" she finished. She then snapped her head up, "Oh! And I was being serious when I said I wasn't gonna shoot at anyone or anything. I do biathlons and if I'm gonna be here for as long as I think I will then I don't wanna get rusty with all my lack of practice." she said with a straight face.
***Confessional: Nasir***
"She asked me to play monopoly, I said yes. Stupid mistake" he said while shaking his head.
The next boat that came dropped off a tall girl with brown eyes and dirty blonde hair wrapped into a high loose bun. She was wearing a pink t-shirt and pink, black pajama pants, and was wrapped up in a big black blanket.
"Hey Macy, so glad that you could join us" Chris said sarcastically.
The girl looked up groggily before blandly responding, "Thanks Chris, good to see you too." She then went to lay down on the dock where the other kids were standing.
The next contestant to arrive was a black girl with straight mid-length black hair, She was wearing a black tank-top, a blue zipped down sweater, and black leggings. She gave her surroundings a once over before focusing her attention on Chris, "looks boring" she said.
Chris scoffed, "Oh please, just wait for the challenges. Then you'll regret calling it boring" Chris looked at the contestants while motioning to the girl unenthusiastically, "Kaya".
The next boat to arrive carried 3 teens. The first one came in before the others. He had broad shoulders, reddish-brown hair and dark grey eyes. He was wearing a white wife beater and black shorts.
The next two teens were walking together, one of them was a buff boy with tanned skin, wavy brown hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing a navy hoodie and jean shorts.
The boy was talking animatedly with the third contestant, who was a short girl, with wavy shoulder-length lavender-coloured hair pulled into a high ponytail and light blue eyes. She was wearing a red floral tank-top and grey running shorts.
"Hey you three, welcome to the islan-" Chris greeted them enthusiastically before being cut off by the first boy
"Can it Mclean, you already put me on a boat with those two," he quickly shot a glare at the two walking behind him, "They wouldn't stop talking. They're annoying!" he screamed as he stormed off to the other end of the dock.
The girl chimed in as she got closer, "Marcus has been PMSing since he got on the boat. His insults are kinda funny though" she chuckled before introducing herself, "I'm Teagan" The girl thrust her open hand in Chris' direction for a shake.
"Teagan, Kingsley" The host greeted the girl and boy before they made their way to the others.
***Confessional: Kingsley***
"Marcus isn't funny. He's just a straight up douche."
The next boat to arrive dropped off a tall girl with long straight orange hair with green eyes and freckles. She had on an old band t-shirt tucked into high waisted black shorts. She also wore fishnet tights and big black boots.
Chris turned to face her with a smile on his face, "Hey everyone, this is Jordan". He introduced the girl. Who just gave a forced smile before walking right by the host, leaving him dumbfounded.
The next contestant to get off a boat was a bigger boy with black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a baggy black sweater and grey sweatpants. He walked by Chris entirely without even noticing because he was so enthralled with his gameboy.
"Everyone, that was Gabe," Chris said without so much as an acknowledgement from said boy.
As Gabe's boat took off, it was soon replaced with the next as a lanky boy with long skater blonde hair and blue eyes was seen emerging off the boat riding on a purple skateboard. He was wearing a white top and blue jeans.
After coming to an abrupt stop in front of everyone he introduced himself, "Hey dudes and dudettes, I'm Holden and I'm so stoked to meet all of you" receiving a collection of welcomes in return.
The next contestant to approach the dock was a black girl with long curly black hair with red streaks. She was wearing a yellow cropped sweater and ripped black shorts.
"Please welcome this season's anarchist, Angela!" Chris introduced her enthusiastically receiving a few wary glances from the other contestants.
"This season's what?" Kingsley asked Chris, only to be ignored.
The girl looked at Chris, "Oh! I'm so happy to be here! There aren't any rules in this game right?" She questioned.
"Lawyers say no ones allowed to die or the shows off," He started, "but, we are allowed to get some contestants injured and I say the more the merrier. The fans love it". He continued.
This brought a smile to the girl's face, "great!" she exclaimed as she took her spot on the dock with the others.
***Confessional: Kingsley***
"An anarchist?" Kingsley asked the camera. "Chris must really love chaos. I just better not die" He finished looking frightened.
***Confessional: Angela***
Angela sat in front of the camera grinning wildly, "I'm so excited for the challenges. When the opportunity to join the show came up, I joined right away! Not only is there freedom to take down competition, but I also get money for doing so? Easy!"
The next contestant was a boy with freckles, hazel eyes and a grey beanie over his black hair. He wore a black and white checkered shirt and black jeans. He also had an acoustic guitar strapped to his left shoulder.
"Everyone, this is Eric." Chris told the group.
The boy introduced as Eric silently joined the others as the next boat was arriving.
The boat dropped off two girls. The first girl was tall, pale and had long brown hair with bangs almost covering her blue eyes. She was wearing a black and white horizontal striped tube top and a black mini skirt. She was talking loudly to the girl next to her.
The other girl who was politely nodding and smiling along to the story of the first tall brunette, had straight light brown hair and hazel eyes covered by black sunglasses. She was wearing a fitted red tube top and high-waisted black shorts.
Once the two reached Chris, the taller of the two girls dropped her story and put her right hand forward for a shake. "Hi Chris, I'm Leighanne Darby or LeighDarbs on the socials. Pleasure to meet you" She greeted the host with a wink.
Chris rolled his eyes and shook her hand while blandly responding, "I know who you are Leighanne. I'm the host, it's my job to know everyone."
"Right" She giggled and continued on with her story with the girl who has not been introduced.
"Okay everyone, this is Leighanne and Sadie" Chris introduced the two.
***Confessional: Sadie***
Sadie sat with a pleased smirk on her face, "this is going to be so easy. If every contestant is as dumb as the one I got stuck with on the boat, then boy am I set. I'm just hoping I didn't put up with her talking for nothing, she already thinks we're friends and that can come in handy. With games like this you have to actually make friends, or in my case make people think you're their friend, when in reality you actually can't stand them." She chuckled to herself.
"Okay, seventeen down, only seven more to go," Chris announced proudly.
The contestant to come out of the next boat was a short girl with black hair in a tight ponytail with only her bangs hanging loose. She was pale with freckles scattered across her face and dark brown eyes. She was wearing a white blouse and a black and white checkered skort. She was also carrying a book under her arm.
"Hey Diana" Chris greeted the scared looking new comer.
Diana looked up to the host before shyly responding with a "hi" of her own. She quietly made her way over to the rest of the contestants with her head held down.
Teagan quickly took notice of the girl standing next to her. "Hi, I'm Teagan. Let's be friends." She introduced herself loudly.
This took Diana by surprise as she whipped her head to look at the short purple haired girl. "Oh, uh, okay" She said slowly, a bit taken back.
***Confessional: Teagan***
"Diana seems really quiet. So, I've decided to take her under my wing" Teagan smiled brightly to the camera.
The next boat to arrive dropped off a tall, buff, latino guy with his long brown hair pulled back into a man-bun. He was wearing a blue basketball shirt and black running shorts.
"Hey Matteo. How's it going?" Chris asked him enthusiastically.
"Meh, pretty good, I guess. That was one long ass boat ride though. Five hours, really? I probably could have just driven most of the way and got here a hell of a lot sooner." The boy said a bit annoyed.
Chris looked at the contestant with a baffled expression, "It's an experience!" The host yelled back.
"Experience my ass," The boy mumbled under his breath.
***Confessional: Jordan***
"Haha, someones pissy," She laughed to herself.
The next contestant was a lanky boy with brown hair and bright green eyes. He was wearing a plain polo shirt and black shorts.
"Hey, it's Keith!" Chris exclaimed.
Keith was just about to respond when he tripped on one of his untied laces and fell face first on the dock. This earned him a collection of 'oooh's and 'you okay?'s. He even got a few laughs from Jordan, Collin, Marcus and Angela.
***Confessional: Marcus***
Marcus was seen laughing hysterically in the confessional, "Loser" he managed to say after settling down a bit.
Keith quickly recovered and stuck his hand out for Chris to shake.
"Hey Chris" the teen returned the host's previous greeting and made his way to where the other contestants were standing, managing to get there without any more accidents.
The next boat was quick to arrive, dropping off a black girl with a buzz cut and bright red lipstick. She was wearing an orange shirt with a silver peace sign in the middle and white shorts.
"Hey Chris. That mansion looked amazing!" The girl stated enthusiastically, "can't wait for my team to win a challenge!"
Chris looked at her with a look of confusion until an imaginary light went off above his head, "oh," He exclaimed, "that's not for the winners, that's mine." he laughed at the thought of giving such a nice place to contestants.
'Wait, what?" All the contestants on the dock screamed in unison.
"Why would one man need an entire mansion to himself?" Jordan demanded to know.
"Ya, there's 24 of us. We outnumber you." Anthony chimed in.
Chris shook his head in disbelief, "did you really think the Chris Mclean would sleep in some cabin? Hell no!" he answered his own question as if it were obvious.
Before anyone else could express their opinion on the matter, a new boat came and dropped off the next contestant who was an indian girl with thick black hair with a light blue flower tucked behind her right ear. She was wearing a fitted blue romper and bright yellow flip-flops.
"Everyone, this is Myra!" Chris introduced the smiling girl.
She said a quick "hello" to the host before finding a spot on the dock beside Sadie.
"Don't think for a second you're gonna be able to trick me with your nice girl act" Myra told the girl with a challenging smirk.
Sadie's eyes went wide as she turned towards the girl. "I don't know what you're talking about," She said convincingly.
"Sure you don't" Myra rescinded dryly.
***Confessional: Myra***
"Oh I know what she's up to. I can sense it."
***Confessional: Sadie***
Sadie looked to the camera with a look of fear, "That girls gotta go!"
Chris smiled brightly at the camera, "And now I introduce you to our two final contestants!
As Chris said this, two boys walked off the boat that just came up. One of the boys had bright red hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a black shirt with a blue jay on it and cargo shorts. Healso had a pair of binoculars hanging from his neck. "This one's Ashton," Chris told the group.
"And this one's Brady" Chris motioned to a light-skinned boy with a buzz cut. He had on a green camo shirt and khaki shorts.
Before either of the boys could reply to Chris' introduction, the host began to guide the contestants into the woods. "Now, if you'd continue to follow me we'll meet up with Chef and get these teams started"
"We're already getting our teams?" Teagan asked cheerfully, "sweet!"
In less than a minute they all reached a large clearing in the woods with Chef standing in the middle with two massive paintball guns, two pieces of paper, and a scary grin on his face.
Chris quickly ran up to Chef and took a paintball gun and one of the lists. He then turned to the heap of contestants, "So, as you can see Chef and I have paintball guns", Chef took this as his que to lift up the gun above his head, "Both the guns have different of paint, so whoever gets shot with red paint will be on the Soaring Crows, and whoever get hit with black paint will be apart of the Digging Fleas" Chris smiled happily.
***Confessional: Matteo***
He looked at the camera wonderingly, "Fleas and Crows… not sure they're on the same playing field there Mclean."
"Wait!" Anthony screamed, "Why do you both have lists?"
Chris nervously chuckled, "Well, the teams had to be fair-" he began.
"So, you already made the teams?" Kaya asked slowly.
"Dude, are you just looking for a way to hurt us? Holden asked, "So not cool"
"Oh please the viewers love it!" Chris defended, "C'mon Chef lets get this show on the road! Everyone spread out in a line," Chris demanded.
As everyone did what they were told, Chef approached and began to take aim and shoot black paint at the contestants on his list, while Chris did the same with red paint. Some of the contestants were covering their faces, while some just stood with their arms stretched out to be attacked by the paint.
After everyone was drenched in paint Chris and Chef high fived each other with prideful smiles.
"Okay, now that that's done, everyone covered in red paint go stand underneath that tree" He gestured to the tree on his left, "and everyone covered in black, go stand under that tree" he said gesturing to the tree on his right.
On Chris' left Leighanne, Holden, Avery, Matteo, Macy, Holland, Ashton, Marcus, Diana, Katrina, Ashton and Keith stood all drenched in red paint.
While Angela, Kaya, Kingsley, Sadie, Brady, Gabe, Jordan, Teagan, Nasir, Anthony, Collin, and Eric stood under the other tree covered in black paint.
Chris pulled out a small remote from his pocket and pressed a bright red button which released flags to be hanging above both teams. The first team was standing underneath a red soaring crow, while the other team had an enlarged picture of a black cartoon flea on theirs.
"So, now that you know your teams, Fleas get that cabin, "Chris gestured to a cabin just beyond the large opening they were standing in. "and Crows get that one" he pointed to the cabin one over from the Fleas cabin. "You all will share the bathrooms which are the middle cabin, and because of budgeting girls and boys will be in the same cabins, just on different sides of the room. Tomorrow will be your first challenge, but don't worry I'll give you a wake up call" Chris ended with a chuckle as he walked off back towards the dock.
***Confessional: Jordan***
"I don't understand why Chris decided to give the other team an intelligent bird as their mascot, while he gave us a blood sucking insect." She said confusedly. "Well, as long as the team itself doesn't suck then I guess it'll be fine."
***Confessional: Macy***
Macy looked at the camera alarmed, "The first challenge is tomorrow?" She questioned, "Well damn, I won't be able to fix my sleep schedule by then."
***Confessional: Collin***
"To be honest, my team doesn't look very strong. We have an obese gamer dude, a crazy anarchist, an artist with pink hair and some hyper chick" He laughed while shaking his head "I definitely wont be voted out considering they'll all most definitely be depending on me to win the challenges" He smiled cockily.
Remaining contestants:
Soaring crows:
Ashton, Avery, Diana, Holden, Holland, Keith, Katrina, Leighanne, Macy, Marcus, Matteo, Myra
Digging Fleas:
Angela, Anthony, Brady, Collin, Eric, Gabe, Jordan, Kaya, Kingsley, Nasir, Sadie, Teagan
AN/
And there we go! The first chapter of this story is up. Let me know what you think of the characters so far, which ones you'll think will cause the most chaos and maybe which ones you think will make it far in the competition. I already have a general idea on what block of characters are going at the beginning, middle and end. Nothing is final though. I'll try and get the next chapter up by the end of next week, then after that the updates might just be coming in once a month.
Thanks for reading! Bye!
