Trans-Dimensional Artifacts

Trans-Dimensional Artifacts are residual effects from particularly strong Bridging Events: essentially scars left behind from irreparably altering the fabric of our current reality. These often take the form of shifting, geometric shapes which appear out of space, floating, and do not immediately react or respond to their immediate surroundings. To behold a Trans-Dimensional Artifact for too long often invites insanity, as the average, human, conscious mind is biologically incapable of comprehending exactly what it is seeing.

Several TDA's are identified in the story: Dr. Bryant travels with one before she is able to transfer it out of the country; the Sedona Cult inadvertently created one in the wake of their own Bridging Event; and Fatima created one of her own volition during her exfiltration from Iraq, and continues to safeguard that particular TDA even into the current setting.

The AKASHIC Super Computer requires several components which are likely TDA's in order to function.

Of particular interest is Fatima's TDA, which has been dubbed "The Chalice."
Bridging Event

A Bridging Event is a term applied to the exceedingly rare occasions where a connection is established between Reality and The Liminality. Likened in many respects to a black hole, a Bridging Event allows for materials and data to be transmitted into, and out of, The Liminality.

A Bridging Event can either occur on a minor scale, when a Manipulator first experiences their "Education," or can be willed into existence by extremely powerful Manipulators. The Sedona Cult, Magnasanti, produced an extremely powerful Bridging Event, which sent their physical forms, as well as the physical forms of everything within a half mile radius, into the Liminality.

Fatima produced several Bridging Events, whose energy signatures were initially misconstrued as nuclear testing.

Trans-Dimensional Artifacts are the result of a Bridging Event collapsing. Just as matter from the material universe may get trapped in the Liminality, materials from the Liminality may get caught in ours. Repeated Bridging Events can scar the physical locations where they once took place, with observers occassionally detecting anomalies in gravity, and even reporting visual and auditory hallucinations. Nowhere is this effect more prevalent than in the abandoned portions of the GEHENNA Base.
PROVISIONAL SITE SHEOL

PROVISIONAL SITE SHEOL was a classified research facility, located somewhere in rural New Mexico, USA. As opposed to its sister site, GEHENNA, SHEOL focused almost exclusively on researching the extra dimensional entities known as the Tradesmen. To this end, repeated experiments attempting to create a sustained "Bridging Event" were conducted. It was during one such experiment an unidentified manipulator lost control of his own powers, and annihilated the facility in a mass Bridging Event which consumed all matter within a radius of .8 miles.

Today, what remains of PROVISIONAL SITE SHEOL is still quarantined, and off limits to the general public, despite the fact that nothing is actually there.
Synaxis

> "It is the oldest of rituals-- War." -Councilman 8
>
>

A secret society that operates behind the world’s governments.

Reports as to their origins vary, but common theories tend to allude to a possible genesis in either the French Revolution or even in a 19th century American artist’s commune. The identities of their members is a closely guarded secret, and any attempt to uncover it has often been met with death (Nicolai states that a contact of his was killed when he discovered that one member owns a major broadcasting company, but he does not elaborate on which company, and likely doesn’t know). The Synaxis operates from a retreat just outside of Washington, D.C., where they will often hold meetings to discuss their plans, or initiate new agents or “Arbiters” of their plans.

The Synaxis is also the chief funder of the Pantheon program, having aided in its creation via the CIA. Several Pantheon agents are known to also have been agents of the Synaxis; chief of among them, the top research technician, Peter Dirac . In 1980, after the creation of the first Manipulator , Peter was tasked with distributing the formula for the distillation of XS6 to Soviet authorities, in order to create a visible threat that would legitimize Pantheon research, at the behest of the Synaxis (Peter would never be caught, and another man would be blamed for his crime). This also served the dual purpose of spreading XS6 to other countries, in order to create a larger pool of Manipulators that would be utilized in the Synaxis’ master plan.

The Synaxis’ true goal is to elevate themselves to a god like state, through the sacrifice of the human race to the Tradesmen. However, only humans that have an amount of XS6 within them can even be contacted by the Tradesmen. To this end, the Synaxis has established a vast program to poison large amounts of the population with minor doses of XS6, usually through drinking water, but also through Post Traumatic Stress Disorder rehabilitation therapy for returning Global War on Terror veterans. In late 2013, Synaxis agents utilize the captured Iraqi Manipulator, Fatima , in order to initiate a massive “bridging event ” that will bring about this exchange.

*An unseen war has waged in the “American Century”— fought not with bombs or guns, but with the awesome, reality-altering powers of a forcibly enlightened caste of soldiers known as Manipulators.*

*Theirs is the power over the four fundamental forces which shape our universe: Gravity, Electromagnetism, and Strong and Weak Nuclear Force.*

*Once pawns in an elaborate game between the Soviet Union and the United States, Manipulators have since outlived their usefulness to their former masters, as darker machinations are beginning to come to fruition.*

*Still, the sins of a forgotten human arms race must be atoned— and vengeance is coming to these new gods of war.*

*Do not despair because there is no God. Despair because He is very real, and he loathes you for it.*

Sitra Achra

The Reverse of the Tree of Life.

1

My stomach sits empty, distended-- only curdled milk and oily water rest therein. Enough to send the muscles into motion, to keep the mind from completely fogging. Not enough to live on-- but out here, in this vast nothing, who is really living?

2

There are those who still keep score of the days. They cling to their traditions, as if ritual and ceremony will keep them warm and clothed; as if it will make them appear human to their captors. It does not. The resourceful and privileged mark upon the walls in ink or crayon. The desperate seek out bits of metal and rock, and tally their time in this way. The mad have resorted to but their bloodied nail bed. I, the wise, have simply stopped the tally all together.

3

The snow fall has been especially heavy this year, though I am unable to discern the seasons anymore. Perhaps there has been no break from the last winter to the current, and I have simply been too cloistered to have noted this. Still, the firebreak through which the diesel belching convoys would have passed, remains covered in virgin snow, and no blackened trails run through it.

4

I imagine, for a time, how the first men might have seen the taiga. Like this, pristine and unbroken. Then I remember that an unused passage means an absence of supplies. I begin to measure the energy expended with every movement I make: from my breath, to the flexing of my arthritic fingers. How long do I have left on this stunted economy?

5

An announcement breaks the monotony of the camp life. The warden comes before us; he is a picture of health and cleanliness. His uniform is pressed, though he appears to barely fit in it anymore. He comes with a proposition:

6

I no longer carry the trappings of my faith, instead I wish to demonstrate it. I make myself known to the crowd, to the warden, to the world. Nicolai fears no test, and fears no vision.

7

carried off into

8

The room is warm; I count myself thankful, as every bit of heat is a treasure in this place. I weigh which option would have been better: to feel sensations in my fingertips once more, or to end the ceaseless gnawing in my stomach?

In time, my prayers are answered, perhaps. I stare down the cup and the pill for a moment, before the guards beseech me to ingest both. I consider the weight of the pill as it slides down. It is something, it is matter, it occupies space within the vast emptiness of my stomach. I am not sustained, but I am alive.

My supplications echo into the void-- lo, no answer. In that far off place, I found you. You, who is neither the creator, nor the deceiver, but simply a philosipher. An observer of phenomena for which you have no words, and no use for words.

I have learned to hate you.

Jude is the protagonist of the main storyline.

A gravity Manipulator, who had previous experience as a physicist. In another life, Jude was a family man with two daughters. The pressure from Jude’s participation in the Pantheon project and the loss of a daughter to drug addiction would later contribute to the eventual collapse of his own marriage, leaving Jude a solitary individual solely devoted to Pantheon. Jude lost the emotion of fear in exchange for his abilities.

Tim Berners-Lee

Tim Berners-Lee

Tim Berners-Lee was born on June 8, 1955 in London, England. He is a computer scientist known for inventing the World Wide Web as we know it. He implemented the first successful communication between an HTTP client and server via the internet. He is the director of the World Wide Web Consortium, which is a community that develops open standards that promote the long-term growth of the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee is an advocate of Net Neutrality, stating there should be, “connectivity with no strings attached,” in terms of how internet services are provided. Tim Berners-Lee is also one of the leaders of the Alliance for Affordable Internet, an organization that aims to make internet connection more affordable around the world, especially in developing countries. This organization aims to address

the issue of the Digital Divide, in which poor areas do not have access technology, ultimately hindering their ability to succeed in current society. In a Ted Talks episode released in 2009,  Tim Berners-Lee discussed his ideas of the evolution of the World Wide Web.

"The Orchid"

## CLASSIFIED

The Orchid refers to a naturally occurring flower which grew along the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates well into 700 BCE, but continued to exist in some form in modern day Turkey. The Orchid was thought to be a staple in the diets of certain stone age tribes, but due to changing weather patterns, the growth and harvest of the Orchid was significantly curbed. Some ethanobotanists theorize that the decline in the consumption of the Orchid coincides with the rise of spoken and/or written languages.

Currently, the Orchid is cultivated by both PROJECT PANTHEON, and GLOCKNER Medical, which distill from it Experimental Substance 6, commonly referred to as XS6. XS6, in turn, is the drug used to produce Manipulators.
GLOCKNER Medical Group

A subsidiary of GLOCKNER Holdings, the GLOCKNER Medical Group is a multinational pharmaceutical corporation based in Berlin, Germany. Holding an enormous wealth of patents related to medicine and health, particularly in cutting edge gene-based therapies and related pharmaceuticals, GLOCKNER Medical group is secretly the research and development arm of the German (and possibly even the European Union's) manipulator project.

The German government's reason for initiating a Manipulator project is unclear at this time, but it is possibly an attempt to better understand a weapon the US government is very ready to use.

Rumors persist that GLOCKNER Medical Group is still partially funded by the SYNAXIS. Theories related to this propose that the expansion of Manipulator research beyond the US (and indeed into China, Russia, and at one point, Iraq and North Korea) is all part of the SYNAXIS' grand strategy to bring enough Extra-Dimensional Artifacts into our own world, in order to initiate their secret, final ritual.
The Redoubt

So long have I awaited your return.

Your absence set me at unease, and in my most personal moments, I was never really alone. Patiently did I bide the time, as you seethed and lurked in the dark corners of the world, never truly whole, never truly firm. Until now.

I knew that when you were ready, you would find me. And when you found me, all hell would follow in your wake.

I look out from the ramparts of besieged Londinium, and behold your unholy entourage. A sea of snarling faces, unclean, chanting in their foreign tongue of gods profane. Their barbarity precedes them: the stench of excrement and the metallic tang of blood permeated the air long before I could see them all. I take small comfort in knowing the men to my left and right are the best trained warriors this savage land has laid eyes upon. Yet this training does little for them, it is no guarantee of victory.

I ponder how each movement and tactic is named by the Legion. The thrust of the sword from this direction, the movement of shield in that direction-- and I think on how the savages have no names for their combat, just harsh, uncalculated gestures in the vicinity of that which they seek to harm.

The layer of dense fog which rose from the river and crossed the scorched earth is passing now, like a curtain being drawn taught. In this way, the actual number of their ranks is revealed to me, and their forces do grow even greater and more ferocious. Perhaps this was the moment, when the flicker began, that even before the first blow had been struck, fate had decided the outcome of this engagement.

As their number drew closer to our own, I could see you clearly amongst them. I thought that fear had addled my mind, and warped that which I saw. I gave this thought creedence for a time, until you called my name. Once. Twice. Three times you called out to me, as best your rotted lips and parched tongue could muster.

My name was foreign to you, too. But it was hate which raised you, and propelled you forward from that dark and forsaken place. And still, it was hate which gave you the strength to form my foreign name. You knew not what it meant, only that it would cause me fear.

How simple a mind. How true an action.

I met you beyond the wall, where we sought to destroy the camps of the barbarians. With us, followed civilization, how could we fail? In time we were routed, sent back to the pampered world which had spawned. I realized how brilliant a solution this was! The barbarians did not need names for their combat, for their lives were combat. When the legionnaires were not safe behind their walls, when our rations were not secure, we spent only scant time in discomfort, afield. But no! the barbarian was constantly ravaged by hunger, and cold, and fear, and this made him only stronger! While the legionnaire knew both pain and pleasure, the barbarian knew only pain-- so to charge or retreat were of no difference to him.

Intro Scraps

The scene opens on a young woman, resting in the lotus position within a hermetically sealed concrete room. An IV drip bag is attached to her arm, while a series of electrodes dot her head and body. Several cameras positioned around the room focus their sights on her, allowing a host of scientists in an adjacent room to study her every move. Outside, the scientists can be heard making notes on her physiological responses. One amongst them notes the woman "is approaching the final sephirot". At that moment, the woman lifts her head to the ceiling, while her eyes roll back into her skull. Her mouth is agape, and she begins to emit a low, rolling moan. From the adjacent observational room, a rejoicing voice announces that she "has made contact with the EDI." The whole of structure begins to rumble, and the fluorescent lights above the woman flicker and spark. The various computer terminals used by the scientists power down, and the entire facility is in darkness. There is a pause, a quiet anticipation falls over the crowd. Suddenly, the computer terminals restart, and a single phrase is repeated continuously across all screens: "TRESPASSER."

When the lights return, the woman is revealed to have collapsed to the floor, and is foaming at the mouth. Her observers are frantic and scramble to figure out what just happened.

The Witness Trials

Research began with about 30 test subjects chosen (kidnapped) from the surrounding area. Out of these 30, 22 developed terminal brain cancer, and died within the year, while 7 ceased all life functions within 24 hours of removal from their sensory deprivation tanks. Only one man is known to have survived the complete battery of preliminary tests with no apparent physical harm, Job Whyte. He is also credited as having named the research compound: Gehenna, the deepest pit of hell. Why or how Whyte survived when all others didn’t is still up for speculation, but most of his background has vanished since his time of induction into Gehenna. What is known about Whyte is that he was the illiterate son of a preacher in the Appalachians, who had spent most of his adulthood working in a coal mine. Whyte was seemingly unafraid of the prospect of sensory deprivation because of his work experience. When asked about his experience within the deprivation tank, Whyte simply stated the words, “they be watching us,” and was not known to have ever spoken again after this.
The Berkley Notebooks

1. This is part of something greater.

I made my rounds, ensuring every room within the facility was secure before leaving for the day, ensuring to turn off each set of fluorescent lights behind me as I exited. After a time, a great deal of darkness had pooled within these halls, and though I knew the campus to have emptied of all persons, I could not shake the feeling that I was not entirely alone; for it was within that darkness, a sentience stirred.

From the campus, to the metro line, to my residence, it followed. It's intentions were not cruel, in fact I believed them to be a sort of true neutral. It took its time before it spoke to me, but it always let me know it was nearby. It wanted to be known.

It was only in the most quiet of moments, did Nehemoth speak to me.

2. The idols of Canaan

5. I fell asleep softly, at the edge of a cave.

6. When I was done dying.

I once thought of how every inch of this earth, in its long and storied existence, must have, in some form, born witness to all manner of tragedies that the universe could bear down upon it. And that if every space were to be hallowed, the world would be a grave.

7. I held my hand to the fire.

8. Waiting for the break, in space and time.

9. I'm not ready for the world to end.

 10. Split from her breast.

Gehenna

Gehenna base is the center of operations and research for the Pantheon project. Located deep within the Appalachian Mountains of rural northern Virginia, research site Gehenna is a large, secure research facility where the majority of the American Manipulator experiments and training were conducted.

The site at which Gehenna base resides today was chosen due to its inaccessability to the outside world, reachable only by a swerving, wooded dirt trail. The site consists of mostly old growth woods, several small ponds, and a sizeable Victorian style mansion, located near the center of the entire compound. It is believed that Dr. Dirac had chosen the site personally, as it was originally a hunting ground used by him and his father.

A handful of ranger towers dot the perimeter, along with a 12-foot high electrified fence, which terminates near the only road leading into (or out of) the estate. The road itself consists of a series of guard posts and electrified fences leading up to a hidden valley, which contains the operations center. The operations center appears as an enormous concrete and steel disc, bisected by an imposing tower of similar construction, drawing comparisons to a sun dial. The Director of Operations, General Graves, has his office located at the top of the bisecting tower. Within the the disc, are a series of mundane offices, hospital rooms, barracks and training centers.

The mansion, which is often referred to as *Gehenna Proper*, was once known as **[REDACTED]** and began as a hunting lodge for privileged members of **[REDACTED]**. It functioned in this capacity for nearly a century until the summer of 1970, when it was requisitioned as part of the original Witness trials conducted by the CIA. In 1971, the first Manipulator emerged from the Witness trials, and was studied at Gehenna.

Gehenna continued to be the nexus of the American Manipulator experiments, and would later host the evolution of the Witness trials, the Pantheon project. From Gehenna, American Manipulators would train, deploy, and refit in preparation for missions around the world.

In 2009, operations at Gehenna ceased, and the Pantheon project was dismantled. Currently, Gehenna is abandoned and nothing visible remains which would indicate its previous connection to the US Government, with the exception of a series of extremely well hidden blast-doors, located at the bottom most portion of the mansion.

 However, below all this, is the experimental, partially-substantial computer system, Abbadon, which is used to oversee Pantheon operations abroad. Deeper still, are a series of medical bays and isolation chambers belonging to the research division of Pantheon, who continue to push the boundaries of what we know of XS6 and the Tradesmen, in addition to unraveling the mysteries of their guest, the Higher Man.
Andul

Attack Propensity: Ice

Secondary Skill: Flight

Rider: Gareth

## Appearance

Andul is smaller than most dragons, being several times smaller than his kin. He is still able to be ridden, but only one rider can be present. Despite his size, Andul's muscles are strong and his claws sharp. His scales seem to reflect his mood; when he is happy, his scales are brilliant and shiny, but when he is unhappy the scales are cloudy and dull.

## Personality

 Andul is almost bi-polar in personality. At times, he is peaceful, calm, and calculating. He can be patient, allowing negativity to slide off him like the ice he sleeps in. But just as ice can be smooth and flowing, it can also be sharp and dangerous. When the right situation sets him off, Andul can be aggressive and abrasive. If he truly believes in something he will defend it and himself with words or with action, whichever he thinks is necessary. He is young, and sometimes acts rashly. But he has a good heart, and bonds strongly. Andul's loyalty is also one of his weaknesses, sometimes blinding him to the truth of the situation. He would give his life defending those he loves, at any time.

Bering

Most famous for having: the largest human population in such a blatantly dragon-controlled zone. Dragons are known to nest in the higher reaches of the Chucagk mountains, and the place known as **Bering** is the highest human settlement on the range. They are able to survive in such a dragon-infested zone by exploiting the mountain's cavern systems. They live in the caves, herding goats and growing hardly plants on the mountainsides, packing up and moving at a moment's notice. It's difficult for outsiders find them. Quick-as-wind scouts dash from cave to town to spread news-- exploits speaking of how many dragons were killed this past fortnight, trading their security services and ore for goods. It's not a comfortable or easy life. But their ferocity and interesting living arrangements have allowed them to survive thus far-- other human settlements of equatable altitudes on that mountain range were burned to ashes long ago.
The Sedona Incident

The Sedona Incident refers to the suspected cult mass, ritual suicide which took place in Sedona, Arizona, in late 2010. Of particular interest to persons who claim to investigate the activities of the near mythical PANTHEON Project, the Sedona Incident is notable for being the first known use of XS6 on American soil (by civilians, no less), following the dissolution of the PANTHEON Project in 2008.
Harold

Harold, labeled The Dweeb, is a camper on Total Drama Duos 1: Wawanawkwa.

## Personality

A skinny, awkward-looking guy, Harold takes immense pride in his numerous "mad skills." Although he isn't much to look at and is often disrespected by many of the other contestants, including his own teammates, Harold is actually an incredibly resourceful young man of many talents and has won several challenges, both for himself and his various teams. Harold's geeky interests, his somewhat poor personal hygiene, and his know-it-all personality often make him an outcast amongst his fellow contestants and a perfect target for bullies.
Nala

Nala Shemering is the youngest of the three siblings, including herself, Elessar and Erik .

## Background

Nala is a young girl of 19, with her father's blonde hair and blue eyes. She is rather tall for a girl, standing at 5'7, but she is the most kind hearted soul. She misses her older brother greatly though her memories of him are becoming hazy seeing as he left 7 years ago. She was very close to her mother but after her death and Elessar's departure, only Erik was left to protect her from their father's rage. She is terrified of Sir Maclean and tries to avoid any conflict with him.
Chapter 8 ((BINAH))

**Binah** (meaning "Understanding"; Hebrew: בינה), is the second intellectual sephira on the kabbalistic Tree of Life. It sits on the level below Keter (in the formulations that include that sephirah), across from Chokmah and directly above Gevurah. It is usually given four paths: to Keter, Chockmah, Gevurah, andTiphereth (some Kabbalists place a path from Binah to Chesed as well.) In an anthropomorphic visualization (in which the sephira are reversed, as if one is standing inside the tree, looking out) it may be related to the "left eye", "left hemisphere of the brain" or the "heart."

Binah is associated with the color green.[1]

A key theme here is understanding: Jude will realize that he is in actuality, the final corruption, that of the soul, as will all of his compatriots as they begin to piece together his otherwise erratic actions throughout the last two decades.

While Jude's main mission as Mercury Royal was always to eliminate potential rogue Manipulators, we realize that he has actually been quite bad at this, and has allowed a large number of them to live instead, to include Feynman. The true purpose behind this, of course, is that Jude is attempting to build his own tree of life, with certain chosen persons to act as surrogate sephirotic sacrifices. This web of deception extends even to Barrette, who will come to assume the Malkhut sephirot, which was originally intended instead for Dr. Dirac.

Additionally, this will be the last appearance of Nicolai, whose efforts in the flashback piece, set in approximately 1994, will have him killed.

You doubt me friend. You think me a non-believer, but the truth is I have more than faith: I have proof. I do not worship god because I know him to be untrue, quite the opposite, he is very real. I do not worship him, because I know what he is.

You've seen it too, haven't you? Yes... You just walked away with a different answer than I did.

I do not hate you.

This is all part of the process. Tyranny. Oppression. Resistance. What would you rather these people do? Everyone would rather be a revolutionary than a criminal, and I gave them that choice.

With his last bit of energy, Nicolai raises his left hand to Jude, who stands over him, not victorious, but shocked. The grievous wound Nicolai suffers, from a piece of rebar which has pierced his heart, continues to spurt bright red arterial blood. In his blood-soaked and tightly clenched fist, Nicolai passes his silver russian orthodox cross Jude.

Jude is silent.

I'm glad we met, my son.

I wouldn't have wanted anyone else here. No, It had to be you, it always had to be.

It didn't have to be this way. I didn't want to do this.

It doesn't matter what we want, my son. What matters is that we play the part we were meant to play...
The Liminality

Originally used to describe a period during a ritual, such as tribal rites of passage, where the initiated had yet to complete the ritual, but were well underway into it. During these periods, old traditions were said to break down, new ideas and beliefs came forth, and all the world was realigned. This is the anthropological concept of Liminality.

In the world of PANTHEON, initiates of the Manipulator projects can be said to have experienced their own separate Liminalities.

*"Before me, all of history unfolded-- from cold dark, to the bright heat, all heart beats and emotions compressed into a minute. I lost myself to the Liminality, and I have yet to return." -Jude, on his induction as a Manipulator*
Heather

Heather, labeled The Queen Bee, is a camper on Total Drama Duos 1: Wawanawkwa.

## Personality

Famously manipulative, Heather knows what she wants and exactly how to get it. Her strategic smarts have proven effective, eliminating a record amount of contestants. She competes with her sights solely on the prize money and not on making friends, using the relationships made among the cast to her advantage. She is not above using others to do her every bidding, and only acts nicely towards others when she may ultimately be benefited. This makes it difficult to differentiate her classic mean girl ways from genuine heartfelt moments. Even romance is not enough to tame Heather's desire for victory.
Owen

Owen, labeled The Party Guy, is a camper on Total Drama Duos 1: Wawanawkwa.

## Personality

Owen's three biggest loves are eating, having a good time, and passing a large amount of gas. Among his peers, he is arguably the most popular contestant of all time for his cheerful ways, optimistic viewpoints no matter what the situation, and ability to see the best in people. He always tries to help his team win challenges despite his physical and mental disadvantages. Usually enthusiastic at first, he often ends up failing, the majority in humorous ways. Owen is also a sensitive person, describing himself as feeling things on a deep level. Despite being one of the nicest contestants on the show, Owen has a dark side like most others whenever it comes to physical challenges.
Staci

Staci, labeled The Compulsive Liar, is a camper on Total Drama Duos 1: Wawanawkwa.

## Personality

Little is known about Staci due to her limited time on the show. She is most notable for constantly exaggerating about her family, something that has left it exceedingly difficult to decipher truth from fiction when it comes to her background. It seems as if Staci is a nice girl, just overly talkative to an annoying extent. She spends so much time stretching the facts that she almost forgets to focus her attention on what's really important.
Zoey

Zoey, labeled The Indie Chick, is a camper on Total Drama Duos 1: Wawanawkwa.

## Personality

Zoey is an optimistic, kind-hearted girl who is exceedingly easy to get along with. Unfortunately for her, she is also lonely, as she is an only child who did not grow up with any friends. Her goal of joining Total Drama was to change that, particularly meeting people who share her love of indie theater and retro clothing. She is very apologetic and has a compulsive need of seeking the approval of others. Her strive to see the best in people can lead her to be easily fooled by antagonists. Zoey values her relationships with the others and, even when interacting with someone she doesn't like, will validate their safety and well-being when appropriate. On the other hand, one should not take her kindness for granted.
Beth

**Enemies** | TBA

Beth, labeled The Wannabe, is a camper on Total Drama Duos 1: Wawanawkwa.

She also tends to be a very dependent person, most likely caused by her desire for everyone else to like her. Her naive ways could possibly make her a target in the game. Over time, Beth learns to stand up for herself and stay strong all the way to the end. Beth is considered among her friends as trustworthy and a sweet girl overall.

However, she distances herself from it because she believes it is not where she belongs. She isn't afraid to stand her ground should her reputation take a hit. Gwen also suffers from claustrophobia.
