A/N: Hey pals so here's the first chapter of this here SYOC fanfiction majigger. I know it's posted very early but I was super excited to get the ball rolling and introduce the first 6 OCs as well as the first 6 canon characters coming back! It's important to note though that there are STILL 5 OC SPOTS AVAILABLE and I'm looking for 3 FEMALE OCS AND 2 MALE OCS! Anywho, this is the first fanfiction I've written in actual years, so any and all feedback is very much appreciated! Although I do ask that if you have any concerns about how I've portrayed your OC to PM me so that we can discuss back and forth that way! Thanks and enjoy!

The sky was lit up with the bright sun and there was virtually no cloud in the sky as Chris McLean stood at the edge of the dock, hands on hips looking at the camera with a smile on his face.

"Hello faithful viewers! As I'm sure we all know it's been an excruciating, long ten years since we started this show waaay back in the day. Luckily for you boys and girls looking for some eye candy, I haven't aged a day." Chris winked, a charming smile still plastered on his face. "We are gathered here today, on this all too familiar dock to bring back some familar faces, and some new campers that were crazy enough to sign the waivers! So, without wasting another moment, I welcome you all to Total! Drama! Island! The Remake! Because all great things in life are remade eventually, right?"

Chris forced a small chuckle for the sake of the television show, already in distaste over the script. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he lifted his hand as if to block the sun as he looked at something off in the distance "Ah! Our first contestant! A new face, but, well, that seems to be about all they have going for them."

Stepping off of the boat that had just arrived on the dock was a tall, lanky young man wearing white sneakers, faded blue jeans, and simple red t-shirt. He had short dark blonde hair, hazel eyes, pale skin, and very young, boyish features. Grabbing his bags with both hands, he walked towards Chris looking around before realizing he was the first to arrive.

"Aaaand you must be Michael!" Chris called out, once again feinging both energy and excitement for the sake of the show.

"That's me!" The boy, now introduced as Michael smiled happily. "And I'm super excited to be here!" Looking around with wide eyes, he tried his best to take it all in. "This camp looks so cool! Even cooler than on TV! Wow, this is the best!" Michael exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeeeeah, I can't imagine you'll be thinking that for long. Great attitude though, bud." Chris smiled and clicked his tongue, before turning his head to see that as one boat left, another arrived. "Aaaaand it looks like we have our first returning camper! Great to see you again, dude."

Rolling his eyes at Chris' words, Duncan stepped off the boat. He really hadn't changed much, save for a few new piercings and tattoos. "I can't believe I'm actually back at this crap stain of a camp." He grumbled moving to the side, his one bag in tow. "What're you looking at, fresh meat?" Duncan scowled at Michael, who didn't have the chance to answer as someone else pulled ashore.

Stepping onto the docks was a tall, light-haired gentleman, with close cut hair, and a relatively regular build. Taking a look around he paused for a moment only to be greeted by the host of the show.

"Daniel! Nice of you to join us." Chris spoke, keeping up his television host demeanor.

Flashing the host a charming smile, Daniel reached out to shake his hand. "Nice to meet you, Chris." Turning to the two other competitors who'd already arrived, he continued to speak. "Nice to meet you gentleman as well. I look forward to working with and against you." He kept his smile in tact, moving towards the other males who were standing off to the sides, Duncan simply rolling his eyes at the other male's words, before having his eyes widened as the next boat pulled up. "Oh crap." The mohawaked young man muttered.

"Here comes trouble!" Chris smiled, laughing momentairly, before turning to face the next camper to climb onto the docks. "Welcome back, Heather. It's great to have you with us. Kinda."

Scoffing as she walked right past Chris, Heather rolled her eyes, "Save it for someone who cares, Chris." Wheeling her luggage behind her. "I see I'm the first woman here. Fitting since I'll be the last person to leave."

"Sure, sure, sweetheart. Save it for someone who cares." Duncan retorted, already sick of seeing her here.

Michael, who was watching the whole thing unfold turned to Daniel to ask, "Do you have any idea what's going on?"

Daniel had opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by the sound of more footsteps hitting the dock, followed by Chris announcing the next camper.

"Looks like we've got another fresh face! And like you're not the only female anymore, Heather. You must be Auden, welcome!"

The young woman who'd just appeared in front of them was of average height, slightly on the curvier side, with borderline ridiculously long brown hair tied up in a ponytail at the top of her head, showing off her ivory skin and greenish-grayish eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, that's me," she, like the other newbies before her took her time to look around. "You must be Chris. You're a lot less attractive in person." Auden noted before moving on.

"Well, if I'd had known you'd say that I wouldn't have had you come on the show!" Chris responded defesnively. "You're also the only person here who thinks that." He responded smugly.

"Nah, Ponytail's got a point." Duncan smirked.

"I think you look great, Chris!" Michael all but yelled across the dock, a smile on his face.

"I'd agree with that. Have you been working out?" Heather questioned, clearly hoping that the compliments would give her some kind of leverge.

"Thank you, thank you. But you two will quickly learn that flattery will get you almost nowhere on this show. Though if you'd like to continue, I won't shoot it down." Chris smiled, winking in the direction of the two complimenters, just as another boat pulled up to the dock.

Taking in the bright sky around her, Bridgette stepped out contently on to the docks, a small, but seemingly genuine smile on her face. "Wow, it's pretty weird to be back here." The young woman chuckled nervously, tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear.

"Welcome back, Miss Bridgette!" Chris smiled, "great to have you back!"

"It's pretty great to be back." Bridgette continued to smile, looking around noticing two very familiar faces right away.

"Seriously? Her?" Heather sneered. "Couldn't you find someone, I don't know, who actually has a personality? "

"Hey, let her be. If she wants to come back, let her." Daniel interjected, his charming demeanor still in tact, sending a genuine smile Bridgette's way.

"Yep. It was her choice to sign that waiver, so who are we to deny her of unavoidable misery here at good ole' Camp Wawanakwa?" Chris laughed, perhaps for the first genuine time since the cameras began rolling. "Anyways! Looks like we've got someone else joining the party."

A young man with long, shaggy dark brown hair reaching the back of his neck, and framing his blue eyes, pale skin and thin lips appeared in sight. He was tall and fairly lanky which was made obvious as he moved his luggage from the boat to the dock.

"Ahoy there, Griff! Nice to see you made it!" Chris welcomed the newest contestant.

"Thanks, Chris! I'm super pumped to be here!" Griff spoke, perhaps just a tad too loudly.

"Hey, HappyPants the second, have you met HappyPants the first?" Duncan nodded towards Michael, who up until that point, had been smiling ecstatically.

"You say happy like it's a negative thing." Michael spoke, surprised anyone would see it in a negative way.

"I'd say I'd agree, but I wouldn't know. I've never felt it." Auden, who had thought she'd made it clear she was joking, smirked. Though it only earned her an odd look from everyone on the dock beside her, and a small laugh from Duncan that had escaped him despite the odd look on his face.

"Moving on!" Chris spoke and clapped his hands together loudly, trying to pull all focus back on him - just the way he liked it. Looking at who had seemed to be arriving on the boat next, Chris leaned over to one of the producers before speaking relatively quietly, "who invited this guy back?"

Heavy boots clunking onto the dock, toque in tact, Ezekiel walked towards all the others on the dock, a dumb smile on his face.

"Hey, 'Zekeil! I see you decided to come back. Bold move, man. Bold move." Chris nodded.

"Yeah, eh! I've had a lot of life experience in the past few years. I'm a changed man, eh." Ezekiel smiled and nodded proudly.

"Yeah, you know sleeping with your cousins doesn't count as expanding life experiences, right?" Heather sneered, clearly unhappy to see him back, causing Bridgette's eyes to go wide, and Griff and Michael looking at each other with confused expressions.

Chris, electing to ignore this comment, simply moved on. "Oh, would ya look at that? Yet another newbie. Ladies and gent, welcome to the stage, er dock - Frankie!"

A large man with fairly defined muscle stepped onto the dock, looking everyone over carefully. His physique was intimidating but the way he simply didn't say anything or seem to have any sort of reaction made a few of the campers uncomfortable, despite his average short, curly brown hair and big brown eyes.

"What's up, big guy? Glad you could be here." Chris smiled, nodding towards him, though Frankie meerly offered him a small 'sup' nod in turn, before making his way to stand with his other contestants, doing his best to not associate with Chris.

"Okaaay then." Chris chuckled nervously as the other contestants simply looked around, all just waiting for the moment to pass and the next contestant to show up. Luckily they didn't have to wait around too long, as the next camper jumped out of her boat, giving a long battle scream as she did so.

"Izzy! Nice to see you're back!" Chris chuckled, "we love a good crazy. Really brings those ratings up."

"Ha! Thanks for having me back Chris! You know living in the wild for the last 30 years has really taught me some stuff about survival instinct."

"Izzy..." Bridgette began slowly, "you're only 26."

"You have NO PROOF of that!" Izzy screamed back at Bridgette, who she'd barely recognized after not seeing any of these people for several years. "Wow, did the cast change this much? I don't recognize half of you."

"That's because half of us are new." Griff did his best to explain with a wide smile. "We've never seen you either. Well, not in real life at least."

"You've seen me other places?!" Izzy questioned, almost frantically. "Well, don't tell anyone else you saw me, alright?"

Before he had the chance to respond Chris was once again speaking up. "Hey! Look! The next contestant. And thank goodness for that." He muttered the last sentence.

Stepping onto the docks was another redhaired female, though hers was more somewhere between blonde and red, unlike the fire-headed woman before her. She also held herself with poise and dignity, moving her hand to run through her hair as she smiled widely for the cameras, accentuating her pale skin and blue eyes.

"Madison! Great to see ya. Welcome to camp." Chirs introduced her.

"Chris! It's an honor to be here." She paused to look and smile at the other campers. "And it's an honor to be here competing with you guys!"

"Looks like we've got ourselves a grade A class pet." Duncan smirked, already partially annoyed with the way she was presenting herself.

Madison turned and faced Chris once more, ignoring the comment from Duncan. "But the biggest honor is to be here and see you in person, Chris. You're much more attractive in real life."

"Ha! See! Someone gets it!" Chris exclaimed, narrowing his eyes at Auden who'd just moments earlier had said the opposite of Madison.

"Ugh, get a room." Auden responded simply sneering at Madison who appeared to be very heart-eyes over the host.

Once again ignoring the comments directed her way, Madison moved over to the side with her luggage, finding a spot by Izzy to stand, doing her best to not to make eye contact with the other female.

"Aaaand here come the last contestant before we move to commercial break! And she's...by herself?"

Petite feet stepped onto the dock, as a surprisingly poised-looking Katie appeared before the other campers. "Hiya Chris! Great to be back! I'm so excited! So, so excited!"

"Annnd we're excited to have you. But uh, you do know Sadie isn't coming back, right?" Chris spoke cautiously, not wanting to see any waterworks.

"Oh, silly! Sadie and I are still great pals but I decided that it was time for me to be a grown up." She nodded informatively.

"Well, hate to burst your bubble but you came to the wrong place to do that!" Chris chuckled. "Good luck, anyways, though."

"Oh my god, wait. This is like those stories you hear about the conjoined twins who cut off the ugly sister to live a happier life. Congrats on losing your ugly conjoined sister, Katie!" Izzy spoke excitedly, not realizing how rude her words may have came across.

Katie opened her mouth to retort, but was cut off by Chris speaking loudly towards the camera.

"And there you have it, folks! Our first 12 campers have arrived! And we still have 12 more to go! Who's gonna come back to shake up some drama and who's crazy enough to come here for the first time?! Stay tuned for more Total! Drama! Island! The Remake!"
