AN: In Survivor, the host gives his opinion on the members of the teams before the season starts based on the interviews he has with each contestant beforehand. I thought it would be fun to do something like that with the Nialasach Cast (Which is still missing it's last female OC by the way guys, that door is open). I'll be keeping the reveals of the contestants 'spoiler free' and just sort of gloss over their general personality, a couple of their strengths and weaknesses(not all of them mind you, I'm choosing to only include a few), what they signed up for TD for, and the problems I think they'll likely face as the game goes on. Hopefully it helps generate excitement. Anyways, let's start with the tame code named "Neo Screaming Winds" (The teams will be referred to in code names, as the winner of Total Drama Zero Sum will be naming the teams of this game when they make a cameo appearance in the first Nialasach Episode, so I'd rather not give the team names away, because they might spoil the Zero Sum winner)
Neo Screaming Winds (Real Team Name TBA)
Claude-The Sadistic Butler: "How endearing...I'll find a master here, I'm sure of it."
Claude finds immense pleasure in seeing people and animals hurt, in pain, bleeding, the works. He won't hurt people for that reason of course, though animals appear to be fair game for him to torture. He's joined Total Drama to find a brave, admirable master to serve...in more ways than just the traditional butler sense. Despite his unnerving eccentricities, Claude does believe in playing fair, and will be trying to keep his eccentricities to himself as he dislikes it when people are visibly upset or crying. Claude's strengths include, but are not limited to, one on one combat as well as cooking. The tradeoff for his skills is weak stamina and incompetent vision should he lose his glasses. Claude has the potential to make it far in the game and possibly even win, but that's assuming he doesn't creep the other contestants into voting him out first! For Claude, this will be a battle of just how well he can separate his guilty pleasures from his team and the other contestants. Can he pull through and find a master? Or will this butler only serve as elimination fodder? Find out on Total Drama Nialasach!
Christa-The Selfless Mother: "Seré la razón por la que estás sonriendo hoy(I can be the reason why you're smiling today)...But I can also be the reason why you're crying tonight."
Christa is an amazingly caring person. Unlike many, she isn't joining Total Drama to win or to get money, though she does think that scenario would be nice, but she is instead just auditioning to be herself and have as much fun as she can, in hopes of at the very least leaving as a fan favorite, which she very likely will. As her title suggests, she will likely attempt to take on a very motherly role for her team. That said, she also wouldn't mind beginning a relationship, and has an attraction for 'bad boys'. Christa's strengths include, but are not limited to, her fast running speed and her incredible skill at keeping composure. The tradeoff for her skills is a naivete that can easily be taken advantage of, and a terribly frightening side of her that appears if she is ever pushed to the point of anger. Christa might be able to make it far into the game by doing nothing but being her kind and loving self, but she could just as easily fall into the clutches of another more manipulative contestant and become nothing more than an unknowing puppet. For Christa, this will be a test of perception and patience. Can she keep calm long enough to win it all? Or will she fall victim to some calculating villain? Only time will tell on Total Drama Nialasach!
Donny-The God Emperor: "People say I'm an idiot, uneducated, a racist. Wrong. It's all part of my game, and that game always ends the same. You. Will. Be. Crushed."
Donny is a competitor. He's a great competitor. All competitors wish they could be Donny. That is something Donny would say. Donny interestingly only accepted his own acceptance into the season provided the producers agreed that if he won, the series would be sold to him. Donny already is the heir to a large sum of money (far more than Total Drama would ever reward), and he is mostly here to boost his ego as he believes, neigh, knows in his heart, that he's going to win. Donny's strengths include, but are not limited to, according to him: his large reserves of money and the fact that people tend to flock to him. The tradeoff, also according to Donny, is that he understands that he is unlikeable, and that he is 'smart enough' to cheat. The game is a coin flip when it comes to Donny. He will either be a powerful antagonist and a force to reckon with, or will be one of the earliest eliminations, if not the first one out. There appears to be no middle ground with him. Can he do what so many before him have tried and failed to do, and win the game through sheer sleaziness? We'll find out on Total Drama Nialasach!
Monica-The Loud and Proud Strategist: "Be on my good side. If you're not, you might as well start packing."
Monica comes from a rather rough neighborhood, but is only that much stronger a player because of it. She's persuasive, quick-witted, and athletic, and is merciless towards her competition...Except when she isn't. Monica actually has trouble resisting an urge to help those in need. She's not above sabotaging challenges if it means someone else takes the blame, and her approach to the game is very straightforward. Monica's strengths include, but are not limited to, her silver tongue of persuasion and coercion, and her her physical athleticism. The tradeoff to those is her tendency to overthink her situations as well as a habit of getting unhealthily cocky should she see continued success, as pride cometh before a fall. Despite her ruthless approach to the game, Monica is aiming to win the money in order to help revitalize her town. For Monica, this will largely be a game of focus. She has the potential to go deep in the game, but only if she plays her cards right. Can she keep her eyes on the prize long enough to win it? Or will her focus slip when she sees a person in need, allowing for her competition to overtake her? Find out on Total Drama Nialasach!
Simon-The Computer Whiz: "These people might have a 'leg up' on me, so to speak... but that doesn't mean I'll be easy to take down."
Simon might have had to wear a prosthetic leg since birth, but it is clear that such a detail has largely unaffected his physical capabilities. Simon signed up for Total Drama as a game to play before he heads off to college, and should he win, he hopes to use some of the million for tuition money. Simon is introverted and takes time to warm up to others, but mentally, he has the capacity to be one of, if not the strongest player this season. Simon's strengths include, but are not limited to, his incredible knowledge of computers and programming, as well as his incredible strength for someone his size, which he owes to his years of wrestling. The tradeoff for his abilities is that Simon, plausibly due to his prosthetic leg, is physically slower than most, and he is incredibly introverted, which can make it a challenge for him to spend prolonged amounts of time socializing with his teammates and the other contestants. The biggest challenge Simon faces in this game is convincing others that his leg is not a hinderance, as well as making sure he establishes enough presence in his team to not get the boot if they lose. Simon could make it far, but he'll only make it as far as his nature will allow. Can he manage to make it all the way to the end? Find out on Total Drama Nialasach!
Zaheen-The Illusionist: "What the eyes see, and the ears hear...the mind believes."
Zaheen is in this show for the money, darling. She's going to use it mostly on herself and her family, as they could really use it. As her title suggests, Zaheen is a skilled illusionist, who has spent most of her high school years street performing to get some extra cash. She's incredibly excited to play Total Drama and is eager to learn all about every single other contestant. Every. Single. One. She's a mischievous and free spirit, as well as no fool, darling. She understands how cutthroat this game can be, and she plans to exploit that aspect when it comes to deciding who to vote off. Zaheen's strengths include, but, mind you darling, are not limited to, her incredible skills of persuasion, and her great puzzle-solving abilities. The tradeoff for those is that, as her body was trained to be dexterous rather than strong, she lacks much physical prowess, and even her inside is weak, as her body refuses to accept just about any food except the ones she likes. For Zaheen, her biggest challenge this game will be one of endurance, and one that could snuff out her flame prematurely, but should she succeed, she'll fly straight through the competition. Can she brace through the weather of Crios Cath, survive some of the more grueling challenges, and do so without making herself look weak to her team? Find out on Total Drama Nialasach!
AN: And that's Neo Screaming Winds! Stay tuned to Total Drama Nialasach to see them in action!
