Vermillio

## Additional Information

**Vermillio Caballero** is a contestant from Total Drama: Booming Melodies and Total Drama: Immersive Images. He is an original character played by Ripper.

## Personality

Vermillio typically presents himself as a loud, proud, and admittedly overwhelming person to most. He allows himself to act like a goofball, or that he doesn't really know what's happening, but he's a lot smarter than he lets on. Past surface level, Vermillio is a calculating individual who looks to know what people are like at a psychological level. He uses his goofy persona in order to bring the most out of people, then usually decides what to do from there.

His moral compass would likely be described as a light grey. Vermillio firmly believes that even the bad things that he does are "fully deserved" to the people they happen to, and he fully believes that even if he does bad things that they will always be for "the greater good"- thus showing that he has some sort of savior-martyr complex. He's also quite paranoid under the surface, plotting and planning miles ahead for his own safety and for the safety of those he truly cares about, something he's been doing since he was young.

Vermillio is someone who shows his love for people in a most intense way. He's very touchy-feely with his friends and loved ones, often giving them hugs, high fives, little massages; and the like. Actions come easier than words for this man, but when he gets comfortable all of the words will come out like a theatre monologue- a little dramatic, but his words mean well.
