-i've split up the lists so that it's easier for me to navigate-
Hello! So I emphasized some characters, toned down another couple, and reworked others (and their label, sometimes to make it grammatically correct or just to make it clearer what I had in mind for them) Hopefully, you guys don't mind if your characters were changed or your audition tape was changed and if you do feel free to message me. Remember guys, I love flawed characters! If you want to send me your character (pm only, please.) and haven't yet, remember that your character's waaay more likely to get accepted if they are kinda weird! Thank you!
I've put a poll up on my profile asking what character looks the most interesting so far! If you're uber excited I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Boys
1. Sergio The Charming Actor (25) by That1guyeveryonehates
The camera turns on revealing Sergio standing in front of a wall chock full of framed certificates and acting awards, which all appear to be recently dusted and polished. The calm and confident Sergio gives an award-winning smile to the camera and begins in a very subtle Italian accent, "Bongiorno, producers of Total Drama, I am Sergio de la Flores."
"I'm sure you have heard of me from my works in the film and stage. I have been cast in over ten Broadway shows, twenty movies, half of which included speaking roles, and have won countless awards for such endeavors!" He gestures to the back wall, adding with a little chuckle, "Well, actually, I have counted them: thirty-seven in total!" He recomposed himself and looked genuinely into the camera, "I believe that I have what it takes to win your show and the hearts of all who watch at home! I am always willing to do anything to gain exposure," his smile turns into a serious frown, "and I mean anything!" Once again, he recomposes himself, reapplying a very relaxed and seductive smile, "That is all, as I am sure that will be sufficient enough. Grazzi, and thank you for your time!"
2. Clayton The Weeb (18) by SpaceZodiac
The camera starts rolling in a dark purple room, with some posters on the wall. A teenage boy of Asian descent is sitting on the bed. "Is it rolling?" he asks. "Yeah," a girl's voice replies. "Hiya, I'm Clayton and I'm here to audition for your show." The longer sentence reveals an accent, which is a little bit difficult to place. "I may not be the most sociable player, or the most athletic. I also hate being on camera and I'm not so sociable... and I have poor social skills. Survivorama is a social game... And now the more I think about it, the more I realize that this is a mistake... Cut the-" Clayton's sentence ends abruptly, as the camera blurs and shakes. Loud, fast, pattering of small feet can be heard, and the hallway floor can be seen. Briefly, the girl points the camera to her own face. "You're going on Total Drama!" before they argue and chase each other and the tape ends abruptly.
3. Nate The Strong Silent Type (22) by Mandalore The Freedom
Weirdly, the only thing shown is about four people sparring in karate gis. No introduction, no explanation. Chris must've found this one reaaaally entertaining. What kinda person would send in this for an audition tape? Very odd.
4. Brendan The Anxious Nerd (22) by GirlPower54
The camera turns on to a male in a red bedroom, littered with posters and nerd culture. "I-Is it on?" he asks shyly, with the timbre of a mouse. "O-Okay. Deep breaths...h-hello, m-my name is Br-Brendan, and I-I'm auditioning for your n-new season o-of Total D-Drama.." he looked down, practically shaking. It's blatantly obvious that he's overly nervous and his stutter is extreme. "I-I don't really have m-many friends b-but hey, there's a-always a chance!" he looks up with a timid smile. "Just...p-please consider me?" The way he's handling the audition makes anybody consider if he lost a bet. "B-Bye. P-Pick me!"
5. Drew The Lounge Singer (18) by Skyn1nja123
Sitting on a long blue couch was young, quite handsome man. He's bathed in mood lighting, chatting people, and bad nightclub music. He's strung out like a model, with his legs crossed and his arm around a lady who looks like she doesn't want to be there. "Sup! The name's Drew." He says, before lighting a cigarette with his other arm. "I've never watched Total Drama or whatever, but what the hell." He takes a drag. "Accept me on the show, and I guarantee high ratings." He winks. A girl steps in front of the camera, pose suggestive, and says "Drew, come dance with me." He readjusts his posture, stands up and abandons the other woman, and looks down at the camera. "annnd, cut. Seeya!"
6. Alexei The Optimistic Hiker (21) by Writer8543
The camera turns on and we see a guy sitting in his room. There are maps on the walls and a little globe on the desk behind him. "Hey, there Total Drama producers!" He grins. "The name's Alexei Rivera and I would love to be accepted into your show!" Alex throws his arms out at the end of the sentence and then puts a hand to his chin, smirking. "Now, the big question...why should I be accepted out of all your other applicants? Well, firstly, I'm athletic and have really great navigation skills." Alex gestures to the maps behind him,
"I also want to have fun while playing the game, instead of crazily obsessing over winning. Y'know I have an ex who used to watch one of these shows and he said that it was full to the brim with crazy people wanting to win, so I think I'd be a welcome improvement." Alex chuckles before continuing. "I also like to think of myself as a very open-minded guy. I won't judge people based on how they look or how they act off the bat when they get to the island, I'll take my time to form my opinion. But you better hope no one patronizes me, haha!" Alex's constant grin falters slightly before he perks up again "but that's irrelevant right now! I really hope you consider me for the show! Thank you for taking the time to watch, bye!"
7. Xander The Homeless At Heart (24) by Norbus95
A camera turned on, with a rugged looking man bearing ragged looking clothes and a guitar. He smiled at the camera, but his eyes were extremely exhausted. "Hey, the names Xander. Look, I'm Interested in joining Total Drama because...um...I think I'll be able to... oh, who am I kidding. I don't think I'll be good at this at all. I'm a dirty friggen..." He trails off, scratching his long brown beard. "Anyways...I hope you enjoyed my crappy audition video." He gives a sad chuckle. Xander then kicked the camera, and everything went black.
8. Wade The Wisdom Filled Stoner (22) by Orlando Butler
The camera starts up on the dashboard of a car. The whole car is filled with smoke and the sound of coughing is heard. The car door opens and some of the smoke clears out. The man sitting in the car is now visible. "Man! That...is the last time I hotbox before doing something important." He coughs a little bit and turns to the camera. "Anyway. Sup. I'm Wade, and I like chilling and hanging out. If you pick me for your show, I can guarantee some...some...I can...I'm not exactly sure what'd you'd get, but you should still pick me. Because...I'd be great TV!" He pauses. "That's...it. Wade out! Peace!"
9. Odin The Magician (19) by Lightflair
A black screen appears when the camera turns on, alongside ominous music. A burst of light appears in the center of the screen. The camera zooms in as a dim light and misty fog appears center screen. It reveals hands that demonstrate a couple of quick coin tricks. Suddenly, the hands slap together, and all the lights turn on. Viewers are then met with a large bed, with a large bookcase filled with different pieces of literature and knick-knacks on both sides. And finally, a teenage boy wearing a top hat with a silly smile on his face.
"Bonjour! Annyeong! Hello, Total Drama Producers! Welcome to my sacred domain!" he chuckles playfully with exaggerated arm movements, "I'm Odin Lee, and it would be my utmost pleasure to be accepted onto your new season Total Drama!" He lifts up his top hat to reveal a baby bunny sitting on his head. Odin winks, and carefully picks up and snuggles said bunny in his arms. "I gotta make this short, because that intro took a few seconds too long," Odin sighs, "Anyways-" He starts but is interrupted by a very angry sounding woman. "ODIN!?" Odin cringes, "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU-" the door slams open and the camera falls, turning the view from the sheer power of the door slam. "Dang it," Odin scrambles to the ground, to face the fallen camera, "I promise magical things will happen if you pick me!" The recording stops, abruptly.
10. Ike The Overconfident Douche (28) by GirlPower54
The camera turns onto a muscular white dude who's laying down on his bed. "Oh hey, it's rolling." he gives a cocky smirk and moves his position so he's sitting up, clasping his hands together. "Heyo. Names Ike. Don't forget it. You might as well hand me the money because no one else has got this." He leans back, gesturing to his torso, but completely falls off his bed. "I'm a pain endurer as well!" He grins and clicks his tongue... and that's where it cuts off.
11. Buck The Hunter (29) by Orlando Butler
The camera starts up on a dirty man who's taking the last puff of his cigarette. He smiles down at his camera. "Afternoon, Total Drama big wigs! Buck here! Coming to you from the swamps of Louisiana!" His southern drawl was as thick as molasses. He spits the cigarette out and places the camera on a tree trunk, sitting across from hit. "I'm a gentleman of many talents, and I can give you a guarantee that I'll be a contestant yer shows never seen." He stands up and pulls out a duck call and blows into it. Three ducks fly from the tree top. He quickly whips around his rifle and drops all of them. He turns back around with a cocky grin. "And that's me bein' humble. See y'all on the big screen." He shuts off the camera.
12. Todd The Social Outcast (18) by WhatIsThisHeat
The camera opens to a teenager sitting in a chair. In the background, there's a stack of comic books, a computer, and a (slightly out of frame) bong. "Hi, my name is Todd McCormick, a couple of my friends just refer to me as McCormick. Usually, I don't watch these kinds of shows, but I kinda need the money." There was an audible snickering in the background, followed by someone saying "McCormick is gonna do it!" "You see, I didn't get any scholarships for college and my job at a garden…" Todd explained before darting his eyes back and forth as if someone was onto him. "That uh… didn't go as well as planned. Anyways, hope I make it in!" Todd's focus shifted to the unseen person taking care of camera duty. "Did you get all of it?"
"Yeah, but one thing dude. Do you know what this season of Total Drama is called and what it's all about?"
"No. What?"
"It's called Lover's Den."
"Yeah, so? If it's all about those kink dungeons, I'm all for the challenge."
"No man, they're gonna help you find a girlfriend!"
"WAIT, WHAT!?"
The tape cut off from there.
13. Kyle The HOT Nerd (19) by Beastboycoolman
The tape starts showing a boy outside sitting under a tree. "So I have to do this?" The boy asks. "Well, your parents wanted you to join, right?" A female voice behind the camera responds. She sounds sweet. "Well yeah, so anyways I'm Kyle." He greets the camera with a smile. He then sighs and adds "And my parents think I need like, friends or whatever. Or to find love or something." As he says, love, the girl who was recording takes a short breath. "To find love?" She repeats. "Uh, yeah" He nods, looking back at her like she was an idiot. "I thought we had something-forget it!" You can here someone run off, as Kyle tries to process the situation. "Sorry Jamie, I guess. Jeez." He grumbles. as he walks off camera and the audition ends.
14. Hunter The Elevator Enthusiast (21) by WarriorAuthor1127
The camera turns into a sort of office building with the walls painted a plain white color and diplomas and certificates scattered all around. And, in the middle, elevator doors. Slowly, a ding sound can be heard as a male walks out of the elevator, holding his phone. "And...cut!" he grins enthusiastically as he ends whatever he was doing. He turned around and gave another grin. "Oh hey! Name's Hunter. And I'm auditioning for...what is it called? Lover's Den! Yeah!" his excitement levels show that he's overexcited for this. "I have always loved Total Drama! Except for All-Stars...that sucked. Anywho," he gives another smile. "What would I offer? A lot. I'm intelligent, I'm good at being positive and I'm adaptable." Hunter gave a small, sly grin. It's then noticed he hadn't even been looking straight at the camera. "And that's about it," he looked up. "I'm pretty positive I'll go far! I think." Hunter waved. "Bye! I hope you consider me!"
15. Nick The Cop (50) by Skyn1nja
Sat perfectly in the frame was an older guy doing pushups. "98...99...100." He stands, perfectly displaying his irritable frown. He so obviously doesn't want to be here. "Hello, my name is Nicholas Baker. I'm a uniformed prevention police officer of the San Fransisco Police Department." He flashes his badge. "My sisters think that it's time that I give love another chance." He moves the camera to a punching bag, and lays it down, before putting on his gloves on. He continues, "But I can assure you that..." He pauses, before giving the camera one or two decisive strikes to feast on and finishing his thought. "..I'm perfectly happy. This is ridiculous. I've got to go back to protecting the public."
16. Connor The "Matchmaker" (28) by Beastboycoolman15
The audition begins with a very young looking guy walking through a park. "Hello, Chris. Now I heard about your new love-themed show, and I have to get in. It's practically made for me." The boy throws up his hands, giving the camera a cheery smile. "I'm Connor by the way, and I love love. I know that's weird, but it's true. I'll do anything to see people happy." Connor walks by a pair holding hands. "Cute couple." He says, pointing his thumb back at them. They give him a quick glance in return. "I guess it'd be kiiinda cool to find myself somebody," Connor trails off, taking a moment to think, before adding, "...but the reeeeal meat of the show will definitely be seeing everyone else fall in love." He taps on his chin twice, looking off into the distance. "Anyways if you don't pick me, I'll explode! So pick me!" Connor says jarringly quickly, barely before the tape ends.
17. Mason The Discount Kurt Cobain (22) by Supreme Kai of Writing
The camera starts rolling to reveal a very edgy guy hunched over a desk, listening to music with his earphones, and drawing. The girl behind the camera taps on his shoulder and he looks back, before taking out one of his earbuds. "Why are you recording me?" He asks. "So you know how you've been without a girlfriend for a while now?" The girl asks, "...Yeees?" One of his eyebrows rises, his interest peaked. His expression was weary. "Well, Total Drama is having a new season, and this one is supposedly about love, so this should be a great time for you to find a girlfriend."
He groans. "God, you're so far into society that you think any girl on TV will be on the same frequency as me. They're all gonna be taking selfies and talking about Drake. I hate drake. I hate the modern untalented masses. I'll pass."
The girl keeps her camera trained on him. "His name's Mason and yes he's like this all the time."
18. Jeremy The Clueless Lawyer (45) by 123NumberGirl456
The camera reveals a man sitting at a desk, looking mighty proud. His desk has all sorts of papers strewn about, but he doesn't seem to notice. "Hello, Chris," He begins, leaning back in his chair. "My name is Jeremy Adams and I'm a pretty successful lawyer from my part of town. Everyone knows to quake in their boots if they're going up against me in court. The same thing is bound to happen on your show." He gets and walks a little closer to the camera. "Although, if I'm going to be completely honest with you Chris, I'm trying to set a good example for my son. See, I raised him on my own with no help from his mother, and he's always wanted to be like me. A successful lawyer, lots of money, things like that." He then reaches for his wallet and brings out a picture, the camera doesn't get a good view of it but it's of two people standing together.
"But, he also doesn't truly understand the importance of having someone by your side to share it all with." The smile drops and a longing look in his eyes appear as he stares at the photograph. "I don't want him to think being alone all your life is the way to live, no matter how much money or small town fame you might have." He puts the picture away and the smile is back as he returns to his desk. "Besides, what lady wouldn't love to have a lawyer as a man? I'm lonely and I'm rich, I'm right for the picking!" The camera fades out on Jeremy laughing.
19. Luca The Comedy Musician (23) by The Great Fantaman
There's a guy in a weird green and black striped bathrobe in front of what looks like a shitty digital mansion background. "Oh hey. Didn't see you there. I'm Freddy Shagg. I hope all you ladies out there wouldn't mind coming over to my space mansion so that I can squink your dahoobadonks-"
"Luca, stop. This isn't the time." Whoever's filming sounds quite irritable. "What?! But-" The guy in front of the camera starts, quickly interrupted by the one behind it. "Nope." He says, matter-of-factly. "...you're no fun." It suddenly cuts, now showing the same guy in a normal people clothes outfit, in front of a normal people plain wall. "Hey. I'm Luca Albu." The normal people version of 'Freddy Shagg" says. "That other voice is my brother and general fun-killer, Vlad." He opens his mouth to speak but Vlad chimes in. "Fuck off."
"Love you too, bro." He quickly says, swiftly transitioning to his next thought. Anyways, I wanna join this. In case the opening skit wasn't enough to tip you off, I have a comedy based persona. I'm wanting to use him in my comedy band, which goes to why I wanna do this. I want to find someone with the kind of passion that I have for music. Am I going to be the most cunning and smart character? Well, no. But I'll tell you this. If I'm in, I promise to make this fun." Luca took his eyes off the camera and turned to Vlad offscreen. "Was that good?"
"It wasn't too shabby. I think you've got a shot."
"Wow. I guess you got some nice heart under all that angst."
"Aaaannd the moment's gone."
You can hear Luca's laughter right before the camera turns off.
20. Callum The Fisherman (49) by Galaxy842
Callum is seen sitting next to a pond with a fishing rod. It's in the water and he is not talking. Suddenly he brings the rod out with a trout. He looks it, grumbles and throws it back in. He turns to the camera.
"You should pick me, so I can get all the other idiots off the show. I will win." He mumbled.
He goes back to fishing, and the camera turns off. A very simple audition.
