## Cast

* **Amy - The Bad Twin:** Amy is not well-liked by the people around her. Unlike her younger twin sister, Samey, Amy is a pessimistic person. She is snarky, bratty, immature, and cynical. Many people are turned off by Amy's negative influences, so they usually turn to Samey. Amy dealt with this for the majority of her life. Samey is the better twin in everyone's eyes, and she recieves all of the positive attention. She projects all of her anger out on her sister by verbally bullying her. Seeing Samey down makes her feel better about herself.
* **Anne Maria - The Jersey Shore Reject:** An obsessor of spray tan and hairspray, Anne Maria is mostly concerned with her looks. She even believes her entire self is worth a billion. Her aggressive and sassy nature makes her one heck of a drama starter. Despite her tough exterior, Anne Maria is not malicious. It's just best to stay on her good side.
* **B - The Strong Silent Type:** Even though B never speaks, he has a spoken mind. He has a knack for creating impressive inventions. He is an overall relaxed guy who is prideful in his craftiness.
* **Brick - The Cadet:** Private Brick MacArthur reporting for duty! Brick's moral code lies on never leaving a man behind. With military experience, he is a noble soldier who's mindset lies on teamwork. He has a strong heart because of his compassion for teammates. His selflessness does make him the butt of jokes sadly.
* **Cameron - The Bubble Boy:** Physically, Cameron isn't much at all. He actually recently broke his arm, so he has to wear a cast. His overprotective mother usually kept him indoors causing Cameron to be socially inclusive. His strengths are strictly mental as he is a surprisingly intelligent boy. His opportunity to compete in Total Drama is his chance to experience the fascinating world around him despite the obstacle of his broken arm. This also allows him to stay away from his mother for a while. Let's hope he can stay in one piece on this island.
* **Dakota - The Fame-Monger:** Dakota has high ambitions to become a superstar. Her wealthy father practically gives her anything her little heart desires. She is a spoiled daddy's girl even though she just wants to live her dream. Fame isn't just handed to you; it needs to be earned. Becoming one of Chris' interns, however, makes her realize that she has to earn recognition instead of it being handed to her.
* **Dave - The Normal Guy:** Dave is one of the normal ones. A normal teenager with an intense case of mysophobia, nothing major! He considers solving conflicts with logical sense, and he can turn whiny when things don't go his way. It's hard for him to put up with these annoying people when he's trying to keep himself together.
* **Dawn - The Moonchild:** Dawn is a nature-lover who posseses a strange connection to animals. Many of the other contestants are creeped out by her because of her ability to read auras. She can be nosy because of her unintentional intereference in other people's business.
* **Jasmine - The Survivalist:** Growing up in the harsh conditions of the Australian outback, Jasmine is a survivalist and a natural leader. Her tall stature intimidates many of the other contestants. Her appearance and bossiness chases people away, but Jasmine respects others and encourages them to reach their full potential.
* **Jo - The Jockette:** Jo is the strongest, smartest, and meanest competitior. Nobody could possibly be better than her. In all seriousness, Jo is not one to make friends with. She is fierce and a formidable foe for the other physically capable contestants on the island. She sees herself as the best above everybody else, and her main strategy of putting others down is regarding them with mean nicknames. (I don't mind Jo at all. If the season was longer, they could've developed her character to learn not to be so selfish. She does admire the competitors that show a lot of promise in their physical skills.)
* **Lightning - The Overachiever:** Lightning is a narcissist who happens to be an uber jock. When he's not kissing his biceps, he is busy gloating about himself. His physical prowess comes with the price of stubborness by facing challenges ahead on his own. Lightning can cooperate with his team when he finally slows down. After all Lightning never gives up or surrenders: Sha-Lightning!
* **Max - The Super Prankster:** The master of mischief is what he calls himself, but many think otherwise. Max takes pleasure in plotting mischievious acts by enacting pranks with devices made from his own hands. His track record is still full of failures. He is even still practicing his "evil" laugh. (Max got a huge change. He is not a super villain but a super prankster. Besides that, his personality stays the same. How could you not keep that evil laugh?)
* **Mike - The Dissociative Identity Disorder:** Other people see Mike as an oddball. However he suffers from dissociative identity disorder or "DID." Mike, himself, is a reclusive and surly boy who also seems to have a dark sense of humor. He is usually anxious around strangers so he tends to be indirectly cold towards them. The personalities in his head makes his life harder for him than it already is. A new experience such as competiting in Total Drama could probably shake things up for him a little bit like his psychiatrist advised him. (We know about Mike's personalities more than himself. Mike didn't even have to lie to Zoey about his disorder. When the two are starting to become friends and Zoey is becoming suspicious over Mike's "characters", have him be honest with her and explain it to her. He's trying to cope with his disorder. Zoey, as well as Cameron, can help him get through it. This strengthens their potential as a couple.)
* **Sam - The Gamer:** This guy's eyes can never steer away from his GameGuy's screen. Sam is an addict for video games, so much so to the point that he can experience withdrawl when away from them. He's an overall sweetheart even though he may not have the best of luck when it comes to exercise and girls, but he tries. (After his elimination, he becomes an intern alongside Dakota. Her dad gives Chris extra money to allow Sam to work with her, and to give him more screen time like her)
* **Samey - The Good Twin:** Samey is the complete opposite of her older twin sister, Amy. Though soft-spoken due to her sister's bullying, Samey is friendly, mature, smart, and easy-going. Everyone acknowledges her as the better twin. She needs to get out of her shell. Suffering from the verbal torment from her sister does bring her down, but she ultimately knows why Amy does so. Patience is a virtue when it comes to her dealing with her sister. There is one victory for Amy though which is Samey loathing her name because it makes it seem as if she is a "lesser Amy." (She becomes Commando Samey)
* **Scarlett - The Quiet Brainiac:** Scarlett is extremely intelligent, but she prefers to stay in the sidelines. She is an antisocial equipped with a cold demeanor. When giving out strategies to her team, she uses advanced terminology often stumping her teammates. She is a puppet master with a wicked mind unbeknowst to those around her. She skillfully hides her dangerous nature by remaining in the background...for now. (To make her more "normal", I just made her into a master manipulator. She's not an evil super villain, but she has a questionable nature that she keeps hidden. In this season, she will not reveal herself as a "great foe" until a future season (maybe All Stars?). It needs to be built up to.)
* **Scott - The Dirt Farmer:** Scott is a country boy with a scheming mind. His devious nature is not a force to be reckoned with; he will make sure that he comes out on top in the end. Throwing challenges to make himself seem less of a threat is his goal in winning in the game. Despite his devious side, Scott is an eccentric farm boy with unusual habits. It can come across as humorous and charming in a way.
* **Shawn - The Conspiracy Nut:** Shawn has an extreme paranoia for conspiracies whether it be the supernatural, undead, government, or even his own teammates. Shawn is not quick to trust anyone. Due to his fear of sinister plots, he has survival skills and strategies to protect himself from a dire world situation. He's happy to give advice to others to help them survive in these situations. (I changed Shawn to be a conspiracist over things that many people question instead of just zombies. Are aliens, ghosts, zombies, ect. real? Is the government hiding things from us? Stuff like that. His personality remains the same.)
* **Sky - The Gymnast:** Sky's mindset lies on winning the game. She participates in gymnastics, and she doesn't let relationships distract her from the competition. Sky is closed off due to her calm and quiet nature, but her gymnast performancies are truly elegant. Her levelheadedness will end when she spots a cheating competitior. She is the opposite of Jo which causes a lasting rivalry between the two females. They occassionally butt heads during challenges. ( In this version, Dave has an attraction for Sky, but she doesn't return his feelings for her.)
* **Zoey - The Indie Chick:** Zoey listens to indie music, goes to indie theater, and wears a style of clothing that doesn't fit with the mainstream. She is independent as she considers herself completely different from the people in her hometown. Zoey is passionate in her interests, so her sense of entitlement and perfectionism causes her to not have many friends. But Zoey just wants to share her love for the indie subculture. (I rewrote her to being a shy, but nice and independent girl with the indie stereotype she is labeled as. Yes, she still has her relationship with Mike, but her character is not centered around him. She also doesn't have athletic abilities that come out of nowhere.)

**Leonard, Topher, Sugar, and Staci don't compete this season.**
