Quog

Quog is a contestant labeled **The Cave Teen** on Total Drama Time Travel.

## Biography

Quog is your typical cave teen. He lacks manners, self control, and clothing. He's very impulsive, and basically does whatever he wants every day. He likes hunting, which he really enjoys doing as the provider for his family since his father got run over at the invention of the wheel, but he doesn't like to express his emotions. Quog doesn't show any of his feelings. He basically feels weird when he has any sort of emotions, and thinks feelings are wrong, because he doesn't understand them. Quog enjoys competition, though, whether it involves extreme displays of his masculinity to outdo his fellow cave teen boys in winning a girlfriend, or simply a display of his hunting abilities. After the discovery of fire, Quog's rivals use torches to scare him out of winning contests. He doesn't understand why he's so afraid of it and he pretends he isn't, despite the fact that his fear is abundantly apparent to everyone else.

When Quog arrived, in Welcome to the Present, Therese commented for him to put some clothes on, and also that he had horrible posture. Daisuke bowed toward Quog, saying that it was an honor to meet one of his predecessors. Quog proceeded to rummage through Daisuke's hair in an attempt to find ticks. When another contestant arrived, Quog was scared by the flash of light that marked their arrival. He proceeded to hide his head under Therese's skirt, and she proceeded to kick at him. Ira arrived, and expressed interest in why Quog was hiding under Therese's skirt. Ira went to him, and assured him that he didn't have to be scared. Quog whimpered at another flash of light, but Ira assured him that there was nothing to be scared of. Quog nodded in agreement. At Leopold's arrival, Quog hid behind Ira. When Cleo was introduced, Quog repeated her name.

Therese protested being on the same team as Quog, in Central Theme Park, while Ira defended Quog. When in his team's room, Quog was urinating on the floor, marking his territory. Mark told someone to make him stop, and Ira was the one who did so, by hitting him with a newspaper. Mark noted that someone would have to show Quog how to use a toilet, but immediately hopped into his bed. Ira was the one who volunteered, even though he was very embarrassed. Ira offered to sleep on the floor, and to let Quog have a bed to himself. Quog instead laid down on the floor at the foot of Ira's bed, letting Ira have the bed to himself. During the challenge, when a family took a picture with Florence, Quog was scared by the flash, but he quickly tried to hide that he was scared. When walking with Ira at the amusement park, Quog pounced on a person in a deer costume, thinking he was an actual deer. He bit the arm of the costume, and the mask of the person wearing the costume came off. He began yelling at Quog, and Ira dragged Quog away, telling him that what he did was wrong. As they left, the person inside the costume threatened to call security. Ira and Quog were the final two people from Past Tensity to arrive back to Chris, winning the challenge for their team.

Ira whispered an insult about Therese to Quog, in Total Drama Time Travel and the Quest for the Holy Grail, and she alleged that Quog couldn't even understand him. Ira denied the statement, and claimed that he even taught Quog a trick. Ira snapped his fingers, and Quog fell to the ground and started rolling. When Ira wanted to be left alone, for a personal reason, Quog didn't understand. He tried to pull Ira away from where he was standing, but Mark told Quog to leave him alone for a little while, so Quog left him alone. Quog was afraid of Xiomara, and hid behind Ira. Xiomara threatened the other team with a buzz saw attachment from her chair. Ira leaped into Quog's arms, and they ran away. While still running, they were informed that Millie had the Holy Grail. She was riding on the back of a horse, so Quog ran at her and tackled the horse, making the Holy Grail sail through the air.

Quog was sad at seeing the batch of costumes for the challenge, in And Then There Were Eighteen, and Ira deduced that he didn't like wearing much clothes. After changing into a three piece suit, Quog was jealous that Robert got to wear a kilt. Quog proceeded to tug on Robert's kilt, as Robert became very embarrassed at Quog's actions and slapped Quog's hands. Ira commanded Quog to stop bothering Robert, and Quog sadly walked over to Ira with his head down. Ira comforted Quog when lightning started flashing. While in the mystery author's cottage, Quog's stomach rumbled. So everyone went to gather food. Quog became scared at the notion that a killer might be among them. Ira assured him that he would protect him. Ira spotted a blow dart sticking out of a painting and pointing at Quog. Ira ran at Quog and tackled him to the ground. Quog was confused, and pushed Ira off of him. He saw that Ira had a dart in his neck, and thought that motionless Ira had died. Quog became scared and began shaking Ira in a hope to wake him up. Quog cried as he repeated Ira's name. Quog failed to leave Ira's side. Later, Quog's unconscious body was found by Sandi and the mystery writer. It was later revealed that the whole event was staged, and that Chris used tranquilizers to render the contestants unconscious.

In Hair Today, Gone Last Week, Quog jumped into Ira's arms when teams were being decided. Ira fell to the ground on account of Quog's weight. When his team was repairing homes, in Pillaged Village People, Quog tried to help his teammates. With Ira, he got hit in the head by a hammer, for standing to closely behind him. Ira instructed Quog to go help someone else. Quog went to help Daisuke, but slipped away when he knocked everything on the walls of the blacksmith shop to the ground. Therese stated that she needed help. She told Quog to bring a large cart from one location to another. She left Quog alone, and he failed to understand how to use the cart, at first attempting to lift it. After understanding how to use the cart, Quog pushed it at full speed. He was unable to stop when Robert stepped in front of him, and knocked Robert unconscious. When the others tried to figure out what happened, Quog sat by himself. Therese deduced what happened, and claimed that she was the one who hit Robert with the cart. When Quog was sitting by himself, a little girl joined him. She asked if he lost his father, and asked how he was able to cope. He pointed to Ira. She noted that she could have a friend help her, and she hugged Quog.

Chris complimented Quog's dancing, in So You Think You Can Hop? Quog was then teased about his name. Ira defended Quog, but then the teens started teasing Ira about his grammar. Quog then ripped off his shirt, growled, and bared his large teeth at the teens. Chris then took Ira, Quog, and Love Possum outside and sent them back to the present. When Chris started frothing at the mouth out of excitement for the challenge, in We Interrupt This Challenge to Bring You Something Completely Different, Quog jumped into Ira's arms. Mark commanded Quog to break down El Serpiente's door. Quog did so, using Mark as a battering ram. Ira stopped Mark from insulting Quog, for doing what he asked of him. He told Mark to commend Quog. Mark commended Quog and pat him on the head. Quog smiled and laughed. Being suspicious of El Serpiente, Quog and Daisuke tackled him to the ground. After finding out that he was innocent, they let him stand.

Quog broke a hotel door down, in When Did They Go? Bianka had taken Millie hostage. After Bianka was apprehended by Daisuke, Quog untied Millie. When noises were heard from El Serpiente's room, in Prom and Circumstance, Quog and Ira went to see what was going on. Ira spoke with Lady Perlative. He said he'd go back to his room since the noises stopped. He also said he'd sing Quog another lullaby to help him fall asleep. Quog excitedly carried Ira away. Love Possum was jealous of Quog's rocker outfit, and Quog was proud of it. When running by the archery team, Quog attempted to warn Chris' younger self. He failed to take heed of Quog's warning, and was struck by an arrow. When sent back to the present after Chris disappeared, Ira became very fearful. Quog went to comfort Ira. Ira was concerned that everyone left him, and begged Quog not to leave him. Quog struggled to talk, but he told Ira that his father died, and that Ira became like a father to him. Quog promised to protect Ira, like Ira had protected Quog. Quog assured Ira that he wasn't alone.

When Quog got hungry during the challenge, in Portrait of an Artist as a Young Slob, he, Ira, and Sandi went to find something to eat. Quog returned with a giant piece of French bread. Quog was concerned when Ira was offended by Mark and ran off, in Stolen Goodies. Quog commented that the short challenge was stupid, and the others agreed. Ira confided in Quog that he wasn't sure if he could forgive Mark for acting like a hypocrite. After being announced as safe in the competition, Therese kissed Quog on the mouth. Quog became embarrassed.

Ira apologized to his teammates for how he treated Mark, in Animal Distraction. Quog hugged Ira. Daisuke said that Quog spoke for all of them. Quog then accidentally said that he still licked Ira. Daisuke took back his sentiment. After learning that they would be returning to Quog's times, Quog looked sad. Ira assured him that no matter the reason Quog was down, he'd always be in his corner. The contestants went back to Quog's village. He was teased by two caveteens named Brooha and Spork. They threatened him with fire, but Quog took hold of Ira's hand, and calmed down. Brooha and Spork imitated Quog and Ira and one kissed the other's cheek. Quog became embarrassed, let go of Ira's hand, and pushed him away from him. As Quog walked away, Ira told him not to let them bother him. When Ira found Quog in a nearby forest, Quog revealed that he lost his family. Ira stepped on a trap and was lifted into the air by a vine. Quog didn't help Ira down, so Ira asked if he was mad at him. Quog revealed that he was proud of Ira, usually, but he was embarrassed by him in his time. Ira said he didn't mean to. Quog apologized, and helped Ira down. Quog hugged Ira, and Brooha and Spork walked by and teased Quog, again. Quog pushed Ira down. He helped him up, and apologized, again. Quog was eliminated. He hugged Ira and thanked him. Chris was ready to send Therese and Quog back to their times, but due to not paying attention, he sent them to the wrong times. Quog looked around and saw that he was on a busy street. He almost got hit by a horse and carriage. He jumped to the side, but fell in the mud. A fancily dressed man helped Quog up, and insulted his diction. He commented on Quog's lack of clothing. He began walking away, leaving Quog scared, but then told Quog to go with him. He told him that he would be staying with him, and he would teach him how to be a proper gentleman. The man, Penry Wiggins, asked Quog's name, and he said it was 'Ira'.

## Trivia

* Quog was the fourteenth character eliminated.
* Quog is from whenever caveman times were.
* Quog's name has no significance. I wanted to use a name that started with the letter 'Q', and Quog sounded like a possible caveman name.
* The first word that Quog learned was Cleo, followed by Ira.
* The way that Ira protects, disciplines, and instructs Quog is meant to be a reflection on a father son relationship, as stated later into the story. Ira's several scenes involving attraction to females was partly to show that his friendship with Quog was not homosexual in nature.
* Ira being made unconscious before Quog in the mystery challenge, was supposed to indicate that the opposite would happen later, Quog would be eventually eliminated from the competition before Ira.
* Quog was originally eliminated for being jealous of Ira, after developing feelings for Therese. Therese would be flirtatious with Ira, and Quog would then treat Ira poorly. I decided to change his feelings to shame, much like how a teenager might be embarrassed around their father when with peers.
* Brooha and Spork are named after the word 'brouhaha' and the spoon, fork, eating utensil.
* I had planned to have Brooha and Spork reveal that 'Quog' was a derogatory term. I couldn't figure out how to incorporate it into the story, though.
* Quog wasn't originally going to lose his family, but he may have missed them if he stayed in another time period, so they were written out of the story.
* Sir Penry Wiggins is a reference to Henry Higgins from Pygmalion, or My Fair Lady. The end of Quog's story is a reference to the play.
* Quog takes Ira's name out of respect for him, and perhaps thinking that Quog would not be a good name in his new time period.
* If Quog were to return to his regular time period, he would have been taunted by Brooha and Spork with fire. Instead of getting scared, he would have knocked the guys down and start attacking them. I ended up liking the idea for the actual return, far better, after being unable to think of a good storyline for Therese to return to her original time, after her monumental change.
