Survivor RP

**Survivor RP** is a Discord-based roleplaying ORG community centered around seasons of the reality game show *Survivor*. Participants choose a character to roleplay as and enter seasons when sign-ups begin.

The series utilizes an RPG-lite system for characters' stats and use them to determine challenge performance, camp activities, and hunting/gathering, among other things. Several hosts coordinate a season, roll dice, provide commentary, and overall act as a unique kind of game master. Typically, players choose canon characters to compete or host as.

Each season has its own Discord server, alongside the Hub server for announcements and meta discussion. Survivor RP has hosted active seasons since 2018, though some competitions, very different from the current format, date back to 2017. Seasons tend to last for approximately five weeks, with breaks of varying length in between; spin-off games such as Big Brother RP are also common.

**NOTE**: Survivor RP does not use spam or public advertising on sites like Reddit or Fandom. Any other uses of the name Survivor RP are not related to this wiki or its community. Similarly, any public advertisements for Survivor roleplay are also not affiliated with the series that this wiki documents.

## History

### Preboot (2017–18)

Even before what is known as preboot Survivor RP, there was an attempt made at a Survivor-style RP game in May 2017, hosted by Tendie as *Survivor: Borneo*. Although all preboot seasons, with the exception of *Japan*, used mobile games for challenges, this proto-Survivor season had predetermined challenges for who won or lost and everyone would simply RP to the results. It never began because of scheduling conflicts, though its cast (pictured right) is the oldest piece of Survivor RP media.

The first active preboot seasons were hosted in late 2017 and began with *Survivor: The Everglades*, won by Shantae as Shantae. During the course of the season, there were a number of quitters that were replaced by active spectators, a practice that is no longer in place. No players that participated in the preboot *Everglades* are still around, though some were active in reboot Survivor RP for a time.

The second preboot season was *Survivor: Trinidad*, which was canceled at the final 7 following a controversy involving alternate accounts. *Survivor: Peru* was the third season, won by Jurai as Hajime Hinata. It was followed by *Survivor: Galápagos*, a Blood vs. Water season won by Scoops as Neopolitan.

The deciding factor for the reboot, however, was the Heroes vs. Villains fifth season *Survivor: Japan*. Seto Kaiba, played by Adachi, was left as the Sole Survivor after the rest of the Final 5 removed themselves from the game. This prompted the hiatus of the series for a functional "spring break," although attempts were made to start *Survivor: Wild West*, which never started.

### Survivor RP Seasons

#### Year One (2018–19)

In July 2018, the series was rebooted with a new Hub server and the announcement of a total reboot of *Survivor*. The new first season was *Survivor: The Everglades*. It was won by Mikan Tsumiki, played by Hikki, defeating Zoe and 2D in a 5-3-2 vote. After the season's conclusion, the Survivor RP Wiki was opened and the server was archived, marking the first time that seasons were recorded in the long-term and the servers were not deleted.

*Survivor: Romania*, the second season, employed the Man vs. Machine vs. Monster twist, in which the tribes were divided by those three characteristics. The all-robot Final 5 came down to Ralph, played by Martin, beating 9S and Penny Polendina in another 5-3-2 vote.

The third season, *Survivor: Moon Islands* was another themeless cast (although the One World twist was utilized), this time with 22 players. Its controversial ending involved a Final 4 firemaking challenge and a two-man Final Tribal Council twist, which saw Hestia, played by Karen, becoming the Sole Survivor over Lelouch Lamperouge.

*Survivor: Nahanni* was the fourth season and used the Battle of the Sexes twist, which divided the tribes into two, one for men and one for women. It was won by Fox McCloud, played by Crust, who beat Natsuki Subaru and Celty Sturluson in the third 5-3-2 vote.

The fifth season, *Survivor: Galápagos*, used the Blood vs. Water twist, which had friends and loved ones competing against each other. Its Final Tribal Council initially tied 3-3-3, but with once-removed juror Mako Mankanshoku's deciding vote, Trent, played by Jack, beat out Tionishia and Zombina.

*Survivor: Greece*, the sixth season, utilized the Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty twist, separating the contestants into tribes of three. It was won by the "brawn" Rando, played by Kamina, in a 6-5-0 vote over Satsuki Yumizuka after the disqualification of third finalist Tohru Adachi and a tied vote resolved by the pre-jury for the first time in Survivor history.

The seventh season, *Survivor: Wild West*, was the first to feature a central focus on returning players with a team of them against new players in the Fans vs. Favorites twist. It was won by returning player Kiira, played by Squid, in a 6-5 vote over fellow returnee Nagisa Kaworu in another Final 2 twist.

*Survivor: Italy*, the eighth season, did not have a central casting theme, the first since *Moon Islands* for a "back to basics" format. It was won by Blade Wolf, played by Bones, in another close 4-3-3 vote over Comrade Black and Kainé. It rounded out Year One of Survivor RP, concluding on the day that *The Everglades* started.

#### Year Two (2019–20)

The ninth season, *Survivor: Japan*, was the first game of Year Two. It utilized a "Science vs. Magic" cast division. It was won by Rutile, played by Asgore, in a third close 4-3-3 vote over Claptrap and Kazuichi Souda.

*Survivor: Black Forest*, the tenth season, was a themeless season with a Halloween aesthetic. It used the Outcasts twist in the form of the Grimm tribe. It was won by Alice Liddell, played by Ringabel, in a 5-4-1 vote over Yonaka Kurai and Tora.

The eleventh season, *Survivor: Appalachia*, used an "Authority vs. Rebels" cast division, dividing the tribes into their positions of power in life. It was won by Amanda O'Neill, played by Mahiru, in a 5-3-2 vote over Mòrag Ladair and Mami Tomoe.

*Survivor: Sri Lanka*, the twelfth season, was the long-awaited All-Stars season. It saw 24 returning players, including four former winners, competing against each other. It was won by *Galápagos* winner Trent, played by Jack, who became the first two-time winner in the series' history. Char Aznable and Riley Freeman finished as the runner-ups in a 5-4-2 vote.

The thirteenth season, *Survivor: Siberia*, used the theme of Monsters vs. Mystics vs. Mercenaries, with one contestant each ending up representing their starting tribe at the Final Tribal Council. The Mystics prevailed in the end, with Bill Cipher winning over Deadpool and Caliborn in a 6-3-1 majority vote.

*Survivor: Peru*, the fourteenth season, reintroduced the Blood vs. Water twist, though Redemption Island did not return. Dlanor A. Knox, played by Nowi, won against the pair of Kuroko Koumori and Hinako Tozakura at Final Tribal Council in a 6-4-0 vote.

#### Year Three (2020–21)

The fifteenth season, *Survivor: Egypt*, was centered around the David vs. Goliath theme, pitting those who underachieve or have been undervalued in life against the gifted, talented, and powerful. It was won by David member Ifrit, played by Squid, in a 5-4-1 vote against Shippo and Revy.

*Survivor: Cranberry Isles*, the sixteenth season, was the first themeless season since *Black Forest*, though with a central nautical aesthetic. It was won by Yukiko Kayahara in a majority 6-3-1 vote over Vyse Inglebard and Akari Mizunashi.

The seventeenth season, *Survivor: Jan Mayen*, featured a Heroes vs. Villains theme, and employed a returnee Captains twist. In an all-hero, all-girl Final Tribal Council, Kobeni Higashiyama (played by Yomawari) won against Pyra and Magicaloid 44 in a 5-3-2 vote.

*Survivor: Turkey*, the eighteenth season, utilized a Past vs. Present vs. Future theme, dividing the contestants up by the time period of their source material. Troz Naberius, played by Yuno, won Final Tribal Council 9-1-0 against FL4K and Kikyou Kushida, the closest a winner has been to a Perfect Game in the series.

The nineteenth season, *Survivor: Camelot*, used a Might vs. Magic theme. Maomao, played by Phos, beat out Katarina Claes and Mysterious Heroine XX in another large majority vote, 8-1-1, to win Final Tribal Council.

*Survivor: Socotra*, the twentieth season, utilized an Earthlings vs. Aliens theme, based on where the contestants originated from within their respective source materials. Urdnot Wrex, played by Moth-chan, won Final Tribal Council in a 6-2-2 vote against fellow Aliens Caroline and Spinel, in the culmination of the series' most manifest Pagonging to date.

#### Year Four (2021–22)

The twenty-first season, *Survivor: Hawaii*, reintroduced the Fans vs. Favorites twist, again pitting returning players against new ones. It was won by a fan, Kanji Tatsumi, played by Ink. He won Final Tribal Council in another 6-2-2 vote against favorites Beowulf and Kazuichi Souda.

*Survivor: Roanoke*, the twenty-second season, was the sixth themeless season and the first since *Cranberry Isles*, though with a central exploration aesthetic. It was won by Aki Hayakawa, played by Hikki, in another 6-2-2 Final Tribal Council over John Marston and Nyx Ronove.

The twenty-third season, *Survivor: Gorgona*, made use of the Man vs. Woman twist for the first time since *Nahanni*, though it also had a prison aesthetic. It was won by Big the Cat, played by CDN, in a Final Tribal Council that initially tied. Gaige finished as runner-up after 3rd place Miyamoto Musashi cast the deciding vote, a first in *Survivor*.

*Survivor: Tanzania*, the twenty-fourth season, was the seventh themeless season, though it also featured a captains twist involving two returning hosts of *Survivor* and *Big Brother*. It was won by Deacon St. John, played by Adachi, in a 5-3-1 vote at Final Tribal Council over Vigilante and Sova.

The twenty-fifth season, *Survivor: Mesoamerica*, was the eighth themeless season and the third in the last four seasons. It was created as part of a new initiative to make season easier to host and more transparent. The Sole Survivor was D.Va, who won over Billy Butcher and Petra Macneary in an unprecedented, nearly-deadlocked Final Tribal Council that utilized two tiebreakers.

#### Year Five (2022-23)

*Survivor: Bhutan*, the twenty-sixth season, utilized a long-awaited Second Chances theme, featuring a cast of returning players seeking to redeem past performances. It was won by Kairi, becoming the first contestant to finish in last place and win a season. She beat out Wake Forneus and Zagreus in a 5-3-3 vote at Final Tribal Council.

The twenty-seventh season, *Survivor: Tiwi Islands*, introduced a new casting theme, Leaders versus Followers versus Lone Wolves. In a Final Tribal Council with representation from all three tribes, leader Mizuki Date won against lone wolf Denji and follower Lapis Lazuline in a dominant 8-2-1 vote.

*Survivor: Rome*, the twenty-eighth season, also featured a new twist on pairs seasons, pitting in-character Rivals against one another, both in their source materials and from past seasons of *Survivor*. Although all rivalries were broken apart by the Final 8, the Final Tribal Council saw Shinji Hirako emerging as the Sole Survivor against Megumin and Gwenpool in the second jury vote decided by a 3rd place tiebreaker.

The twenty-ninth season, *Survivor: Nova Scotia*, was themeless but also used the One World twist and a return-from-elimination mechanic in the form of the Lighthouse Keepers tribe. Both of these twists had not been seen since *Black Forest* in Year Two. Met triumphed over Adam Smasher and Bondrewd in a 5-4-2 jury vote, rounding out the fifth year of Survivor.

#### Year Six (2023-24)

*Survivor: Bermuda Triangle*, the thirtieth season, began the sixth year with a new three-tribe casting theme, Heart vs. Mind vs. Soul. Although the Souls were eliminated just prior to Final Tribal Council, former Mind Duke prevailed there against Heart Haa'sune Miku and fellow Mind Erika Zatont in another 5-4-2 jury vote.

The thirty-first season, *Survivor: Hokkaido*, utilized the casting theme of Saints vs. Sinners. After a series of heavy losses for the Saints, their final original member, Oh-Etsu Nimaiya, managed to make it to Final Tribal Council and win against two Sinners, Colin Robinson and Happiness, in a 5-4-2 jury vote.
