Christian

Christian Brunner, Jr., labeled The Alpha Prep, was a contestant on Total Drama Lakeside who was placed on the Killer Wildcats and was later switched to the Artisanal Cheeses.
==Biography==
Christian lives on the east coast, goes to a giant university, and is the president-elect of his fraternity. He grew up surrounded by money, as his father is a successful businessman who comes from old money and his friends are all similarly wealthy. In high school he initially went out for the football team, but was told he didn't have enough "body mass," so he decided to join the lacrosse team instead. This turned out to be a big hit with his peers, and he eventually became the captain of the team, gaining all the popularity that came with that label as well. Countless universities offered him athletic scholarships, so he never actually had to put effort into a college application. Christian has only gotten lazier since then; he's never worked a job and spends most of his time hanging out with his fraternity brothers, throwing parties, hooking up with girls, making freestyle rap videos, juuling, and sailing his dad's yacht. Although his grades are garbage, he's a firm believer in the "Cs get degrees" philosophy, and believes his wealth and natural charm will help him succeed in the real world.
Christian was recruited for Total Drama when the producers realized they needed more "eye candy." He's ready to take the girls under his wing, assert his dominance over the other guys, and sail to the end.

==Trivia==
*This character has been in the works for a very long time—I originally created him to submit to others' stories that never got off the ground. Back then, he was more of a rich elitist, something like a male Layla. His name came from one of EpicLLOYD's "Dis Raps for Hire."
*Christian was given the same skin tone as Chelsey on purpose.
*The pose Christian's making is a reference to the "You know I had to do it to em" meme.
*He is the second contestant named Christian in the Toad-al Drama series, after Chrissy. I actually forgot about Chrissy's real name being Christian until midway through the story.
*Christian's quote "See, I care about women as objects, not just as people, y’know?” was a reference to a scene from The Big Lebowski where The Dude says "Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man."
*Christian was inspired by Manty and Northworth. Although they had lots of comedic potential, they both ended up as one-dimensional joke characters. But once I wrote Total Drama REVamped and loved writing for Northworth, I realized there was a lot of potential in this archetype and thus created Christian.
**Unlike those two (as well as many of my other characters), Christian wasn't based on one specific person. He was more an amalgamation of many different people I've known over the years.
*Needless to say, he was one of my favorite characters to write for in any of my stories. I had what seemed to be an infinite amount of material for him and loved coming up with progressively stranger situations to place him in.
*Isabella's eventual rejection of Christian was to give Christian a love interest who was "out of his league," despite so many other women being interested in him. 
*Although on paper, he has a lot of similarities to my past villains, Christian was never intended to be a villain. Instead, he was a comic relief character who accidentally kick-started important, serious plots due to stupidity and/or horniness.
**I also worried that giving him more sympathy toward the end wouldn't work because he was such a joke of a character, but ended up really satisfied with his arc.
* Christian was always intended to get far to make up for Manty and Northworth's early boots. I had him in the finals with Kelsey for a while, then I toyed with a Christian vs. Frances finale, and for a minute I even questioned whether he should win. He's the type of character who could plausibly win a real Total Drama season, and I know other stories on here have experimented with similar winners, so it didn't seem too far-fetched. But 3rd place seemed fitting for him in the end, especially since Frances and Kelsey were each other's foils. He's the first male 3rd placer in my series.
