Ryker

**Ryker Prescott** is a contestant from *Total Drama: Camp Kickoff*.

Ryker was known for his very comfortable position throughout his time in the first season, having the physical and social capabilities to keep himself afloat while also blossoming a romance with fellow contestant, Toby. After an early merge of relatively split votes, a twist caused a tornado within the final eleven round's strategy. A combination of an idol play, a Shot in the Dark play, players voting in other intended urns and Farah's stray vote against Ryker marked the series' first official blindside.

With a goal to finish what he started, Ryker returned for *Curtain Call* and played a season-long dominant game. A combination of his contribution to his teams' wins, being in touch with the strategy of the season by leading some key votes, and his many allies in the game overall, helped him reach the final two with his ally, Lincoln, under the belief that she was a finale goat. Despite a fight in the final speeches, a narrow vote between the finalists fell in Lincoln's direction, with Ryker finishing as the season's runner-up.

AUDITION TAPE: RYKER PRESCOTT
The camera opens, showing what appears to be a… dorm room? It was hard to tell. There were books scattered across the floor - a textbook to an introductory Engineering course, a Great Gatsby novel with coffee stains on it flipped to the fifty-fourth page, one of those old-fashioned video game guidebooks - all sorts of stuff. Movie posters were haphazardly taped onto the wall, and a red GTRACING gaming chair sat in front of the camera, empty. It honestly looked more like a decorated jail cell than a dorm room.
“One second!” Someone called out from outside. A ginger-haired boy soon entered the room in a rush, holding a freshly made Cup Ramen in his hands. He bumps his head on a shelf causing some of the soup to spill onto the floor. “Ow! Fuck…”
Rubbing his head, he sets the cup down on a table and takes a seat in his gaming chair.
“Hey. I’m Ryker. Originally from ‘buttfuck nowhere’ Alabama, but currently studying at Stanford University for Aerospace Engineering.” He leaned forward, palm against his cheek and fingers tapping his desk as he looked at the camera.
“As you can probably tell, I live in a small ass subsidized apartment unit instead of the big fancy dorm-suites all the rich Cali kids can afford, cause fuck out-of-state students, right? It’s all ‘Go Stanford’ this and ‘Best Private University’ that until you come and find out it’s just like all the rest of the brain-dead money-hungry colleges in America with a fake Ivy League bumper sticker slapped onto it.”
Ryker seemed to have a lot to say about Stanford, but the producers probably wouldn’t wanna watch him ramble on and on and on about how the campus sucks and how the students are mindless academic robots and how Professor Dickhead threatened to flunk him out of BIO 101 because Ryker called him out on his half-assed 3 hour infolecture on the Krebs Cycle being totally wrong. But he held his tongue.
“If it wasn’t obvious already, I wanna apply to the show for the money. I couldn’t give any less of a shit about anything else. Being on a reality show sounds way more interesting than an internship shadowing some dumbass engineer stuck in a dead-end job for ‘career experience’ anyways. This is your guys’s first season, right? Then, trust me. I’mma make it good.”
He leaned back.
“I didn’t get into America’s #1 university as an out-of-stater cause daddy donated a building, or through some God-given miracle- no.” He laughed. “My parents told me to get the fuck out after I was caught being all handsy with a guy in public. I get no help from them. I got here through wits and talent. I’m not some spineless nerd that’ll keel over at any semblance of human contact. When I set my mind on a goal, I get it done. And I’m coming onto the show with my mind set on winning.”
He takes a breath.
“That was a lot, but… you get the point.” He wondered if the producers could tell that he couldn’t afford therapy. It was almost like the camera was his therapist. “I’m not one of those selfish insecure bitches who only cares about themselves either. I can work well in a team. I played flex-tank on my Overwatch esports team, climbed up to GM, and my teammates called me the best fucking Sigma the game’s ever seen. I’m the type of player that’s aware of who my allies are, where their strengths lie, and how I can use that to my advantage. A leader. Y’all want someone like me on your show.”
The low-battery icon flashes red on Ryker’s laptop. He had to end things off quick.
“Anyways, that’s all I got for this audition. You should cast me. Or don’t. Your loss. Gotta go. Bye.”
The tape ends.
