Hello, one and all. This time around, we'll be sending *Insert number here* amount of contestants to our summer camp, Wawanakwa. In this RP the entire goal is to create stereotyped characters to represent your common reality show personalities. These parodical individuals will then be sent to our island for six weeks to participate in a series of challenges the would probably cause any human rights activists to lose their minds. The campers will all be competing for $100,000, and after each challenge, the ever eventful bonfire ceremony will be held to determine which camper will be voted off. Who are the voters, you ask? The other campers of course! The game will start with the cast being split up into two even teams, and the first challenge will be held the moment the cast arrives, so as to determine who gets the reward selected. This is an example of a Reward Challenge, where the players will not be competing for survival, but simply additional luxury to take advantage of along with their... Basic accomadations. After so many campers are left, the teams will be dissolved, and a dramatic free for all will ensue. That's where the fun begins. Also, on the island, contestants are free to use the Confessional any time they choose... Actually, they have to, at least periodically. Part of the contract. Rules: •Make more than one character. The votes will be determined on characters' experience, not the players'. It's key to make sure that you remain in the game after your character was voted off, since someone will be booted at every bonfire. •Make your character reasonable. Everyone has varying morals, fears, and standards- some more than others. Variety=Interestingness... Not a word, but still. •New characters are more than welcome at the end of each season, when the setting is changed. •Keep it funny. Ludicrous and far-fetched. That's the entire idea behind this RP. Drama and comedy. •The Confessional is a camera taped to the inside of an outhouse door... So, that's to give you an idea of what it is, how to use it, and etcetera. Also the kind of ridiculousness accepted in this RP. •Know your limits. This applies to... Well, everything. •Let's have as much fun as possible. I'll be playing your extremely narcissistic host, Chris McLean, and your chef who couldn't give a crap about whether his food is still alive or not, Chef Hatchet. I may throw in a contestant or two as well. Questions? Feedback? Wanna go ahead and sign up? You are more than welcome to do so here!

Posted my characters. Definitely hope we get more folks, though if the number stays small I'm happy to make some more characters so the cast isn't too small.

I strongly appreciate that, Pie. I'd do the same too. With the people we have right now, an average of 4 per person would be best. Feel free to invite some internet buds over to join us if they want to as well.

He has a fear of heights and a deep water, having managed to avoid these two things almost completely for most of his life.

Oh boy. Toqir is gonna have a rough time with the first challenge. With both of these involved, I expect him to pee his pants.

Sadly I have no internet buds to be inviting. :sadface But yeah I will do what I can, I've always wanted to do something like this RP wise. But I've never found one GMed by anyone else, and the int checks I've put up have been rather devoid of activity. Though mine have always been a little darker (think similar comedy level but more horror/thriller).

Well, I just started rewatching this old cartoon I used to love called Total Drama, and I was reminded of how awesome it was so I did all this. I'd possibly have been interested in your ideas, but I don't spend much time in the Int. Check sections of the site. Also, decided I'd make two characters after I write up Chef's CS.

I'm interested but a bit concerned as I am not that strong of a casual RPer. How long would you want a usual post?

I'm interested but a bit concerned as I am not that strong of a casual RPer. How long would you want a usual post?

This'll be low casual minimum, with the max being simply to not be excessive. Due to the nature of this RP, it'll be largely dependent on player interaction. That means quicker posts of length that is not that of a one liner. 4 lines per post should be good, but at least two is okay if you make them every little while. I understand people get busy.

That is perfect! I will write up a CS asap

That is perfect! I will write up a CS asap

Fantastic! And feel free to write up more. You'll almost certainly need multiple chars.

I'll join, never seen the original show, but might aswell give it a shot. Just tell me if they are too short, I'll make them longer.

Dan Bourne [+]

Name: Dan Bourne Age: 18 Gender: Male Appearance: Motivation: Free 100.000 Dollars? Dan is in. He doesn't care about any risks or whatever, he just is here to make a quick buck. And hey, its always better than his life on the streets, right? Backstory: Dan Bourne has always been a troublesome kid, and once he turned 18, his parents kicked him out of his house. The first thing he did after that was go to the liquid store, and waste all his money there. Dan Bourne is living on the streets nowadays, and doesn't care about anybody or anything, including his own health. When he was offered to join this program, he couldn't refuse. Worst case scenario, he is stuck on an island with some idiots and free food. Thats better than what he is used to. Best case scenario? 100k dollars in the bank, that will probably get him some quality weed to smoke. Personality: Dan doesn't care about anybody or anyone, making him lazy as it gets. If he had the choice to walk a mile, or not eat for a day, he wouldn't eat. Worn clothes, bad attitude, he got it all. If he were to die, he wouldn't even care. Misc: Him not caring about anything has it ups and downs. He doesn't really fear anything, but he is too lazy to do anything. He has nothing to lose either, so he won't take any risks either.

Johny Johnson [+]

Name: Johny Johnson Age:17 Gender: Male Appearance: Motivation: Johny Johnson really likes fame, so he wants to stay in the competition as long as possible. He couldn't care more or less about the money, he wipes his ass with 100k dollars. Backstory: Johny came from a rich family, and never had to work for anything, making him lack skills in basically every aspect that there is. His parents live in a mansion, and he is used to being spoiled all the time. When he heard about this program, he immediately signed up, as it was a nice way to obtain some fame. Personality: Johny's ego is huge, as he thinks he is number 1, and that he outclasses each and everybody on the island. Besides being cocky, he is spoiled, and would rather not make his hands dirty. Misc: The fact that he misspelled his own name on his chest when getting it tattooed proofs that he is an idiot. His only redeeming quality is that he is quite good at acting, which might help him out. He refuses to get his hands dirty.

Just tell me if they are too short, I'll make them longer.

Looking good. Go ahead and throw those onto the characters tab. A heads up to any future characters: I probably won't take any more than one more manipulative character. Remember, variety.

Updated Accepted Characters list.

Really looking forward to this!

Really looking forward to this!

Oliver Prior [+]

Oliver Prior Gender: Male Age: 17 Appearance: Motivation: Oliver sees reality TV as a gateway to his one true dream: becoming an A-list acting powerhouse. He figures that with the $100,000 grand prize, he can afford to move to Hollywood and hire an agent – and with the fame that comes with winning, landing roles would be a piece of cake. At the same time, he sees this particular reality show as an opportunity to show off how masculine he can be, something that has as of late become very important to him. Backstory: Oliver grew up in a small, rural town. Since he was a child, he only had one dream: to one day go to Hollywood and see himself on the big screen. As a young teen, he found himself to be quite popular with the girls in his class, and while he wasn't quite as interested in them as they were in him, he figured he might as well take advantage of the attention and began dating serially. At 16 though, Oliver made a world-shattering realization: he was actually gay. Afraid of this revelation, he kept it to himself and actually stepped up his dating game with the ladies, suddenly terrified that others had somehow discovered it in him as well. Personality: To those who don't know him, Oliver appears to be a regular bro: handsomely aggressive, aggressively handsome, and a merciless flirt to any pretty girl who will put up with it. Behind his façade though, lies a soft-spoken, confused young man whose real passion is method acting. He tends to avert his eyes when talking to guys he finds particularly attractive. Misc: Oliver is an avid reader of poetry. He would kill for a nice... significant other with whom he can stay up until sunrise talking about favourite poems and poets. He particularly enjoys Emily Dickinson. He also recently broke up with his latest girlfriend, just hours after being picked for this show.

Parade [+]

Parade Gender: Female Age: 18 Appearance: Motivation: … You know, she's not sure. Parade doesn't really know which direction life is taking her – and that is just the way she likes it. Backstory: Parade spent most of her childhood in a small commune. Although she was happy there, at 16 she left the commune, guided by a vision that told her to go out into the world and find her true purpose. She hitchhiked across the country for nearly a year, living off the kindness of strangers, before finally being arrested for starting a campfire in a city park. While in lockup she befriended a fellow drifter, and after they were both released they toured the country together in his rickety caravan. Personality: Parade is very laid back and care free. She doesn't quite understand the outside world yet, but she is curious and eager to learn. She especially has gotten herself in trouble when it comes to monogamy – she finds the idea not only pointless, but completely alien, having grown up in a community where free love reigned. She works well with others, but can be incredibly naïve, not always recognising when she is being taken for a fool. Misc: Parade is literate, but just barely. Her drifter friend has been kind enough to teach her during their travels. She likes to smoke trees, shoot the breeze and even occasionally spend some quality time with Lucy. Making love is one of her favourite things to do.

Autumn Bailey [+]

Autumn Bailey Gender: Female Age: 18 Appearance: Motivation: Fame and fortune, of course! Well, that and the fact that $100,000 will really help get her music career off the ground. Nothing quite like the publicity that comes with winning a reality show to get Autumn Bailey on the map! Backstory: Autumn grew up in the suburbs of a major city. She got involved with the underground music scene from a young age, going to shows with her much older brother, and after watching an underground band she was familiar with get signed to a major label, she decided that she was going to one day do the same. She formed a band with two close friends, booked a few shows, and learned to sing and play guitar, in that order. After a year and a half of “touring” (which in reality was just playing the same handful of underground venues for $25 a show, over and over) the band split, and Autumn decided to pursue a solo career, which has seen similar success... or lack thereof. Personality: Autumn is perky, happy, and confident. She puts her mind to something, and then she does it. And then she keeps doing it until she succeeds. She's a social butterfly and loves to meet new people, but doesn't always work well in groups – that same drive to succeed sometimes gets in the way of her ability to think beyond what she personally has set out to do. Misc: Autumn's confidence tends to blind her to her own shortcomings. She's convinced that her lack of success as a musician is a result of not having the proper exposure – not playing the right venues at the right time, not inviting the right people to see her shows. It has never once occurred to her that perhaps her lack of success has something to do with her lack of real musical talent.

Okay, don't take this the wrong way when I say it... I'm perfectly okay with having homosexual characters on here, but I am not comfortable with any actual, physical homosexual romance. Can we meet in the middle and agree to not having any actual gay relationships? Again, please don't get upset. I don't want to offend anyone. I'm just incredibly uncomfortable with any such actions taking place. BUT I'm cool with gay characters. Heck, I have a gay friend. So deal?

No worries! I can't really see it going anywhere passed awkward silences or maybe a Freudian slip here and there anyway... the internalized homophobia runs strong in this one.

Okay, phew. I was really worried since that tends to be a touchy subject. Especially on the internet. Okay, with that cleared up, go ahead and slap those characters onto the characters tab! I'll update the accepted characters list when you do.

done! And yeah... trust me, I know better than to open that can of worms

done! And yeah... trust me, I know better than to open that can of worms

Ah yes, I almost forgot. Since it is important for a future challenge, I'm asking that you would, at some point, edit in some fears for your characters. It'll help out a lot when that time comes around.

done and done!
