Napalm

## Additional Information

**Jonathan Wayne Taylor**, also known as **Napalm**, is a contestant from *Total Drama: Final Attraction.* It is also the lead guitarist of the fictional metal band Ashes.

A chaotic addition to the cast that received mixed receptions, Napalm managed to act as a voice of reason in the few elimination ceremonies it took part in, mainly to either annoyance or no reaction at all. Though it made a few alliances here and there, it was eventually eliminated in the season's first instant elimination challenge.

## Personality

Napalm, like it's cousin Judy, is very outspoken; at points it tended to antagonize people it actively didn't appreciate at any given point in time. It also was a bit crass in its' delivery and actions, tending to sound cold when actively trying to be realistic and in a more extreme case, fighting another contestant (Eloise) when actively misgendered during her elimination and subsequently kicking over the Iron Maiden with her inside it later that night (See Confessional #8: Another Thing Coming.).

It also has a good sense of emotional intelligence, shown in several moments across its' run; for instance, in *'Bim whackin' em good again'*, it steals a toy bunny from the pink room. While at first it was very suspicious and almost immediately links it to Gyupi, across the season, it becomes more and more affectionate towards it; even giving it the name 'Spike' and giving him to Reaper before they were elimnated as a means to distract them from what it was aware was at least a near-death experience. This side of Napalm is also demonstrated in the ceremonies, where it either defended or propped up Krishna, Penny, Reaper, or Lev instead of itself; additionally, the thread God Damn in which it gives a final warning to both 'Trev' (Xavion) and Penny about their mini-beef tearing apart the original incarnation of Team Logic shows this emotional intelligence even further.

## Total Drama: Final Attraction

Napalm was a chaotic addition to the cast, being either well liked, feared, hated, or some odd combination of the three depending on who you asked. It managed to act as a voice of reason in the few eliminations ceremonies it took part in, mainly to either annoyance or no reaction at all, though it wasn't all that bothered. Additionally, it made a few alliances here and there, none of which were too noteworthy. It was eliminated in the season's first auto challenge, taking the opportunity to call into question the morals of the hosts, some of its' fellow contestants, and the audience before finally leaving a hint towards the Iron Maidens the teams 'built' in the premiere before antagonizing Gyupi into shoving it into one.

## Trivia

* Napalm, as with all members of Ashes, is a directly rewritten version of the Guitar Hero character of the same name.
* Napalm was the first character in Sam's lineup to get voice acting, as they were inspired by the host's work on Total Drama: High Rollers.
* Napalm is British, but was born in Dublin, Ireland.
* It got its' stage name from making mustard gas in a urinal in retaliation to the band being called a 'diversity draft'.
* While it is Catholic, it was arrested just prior to the season for defacing a church in retaliation towards their theft of its' stage equipment, as seen in the audition tape. This boiled into a still ongoing feud.
* The constant use of the word 'bastitch' is a reference to the DC villain Lobo.
* Napalm is very interested in DIY fashion design, as seen when it got Krishna's help modifying its collar and the kidnapping/creation of Spike, a toy bunny it found in the 'Cyanide' thread. It has also modified several outfits for the band in a similar style; most notably Judy's cropped jacket.
* It is also the first character in the era to actively take the confessional camera outside of the confessional; as mentioned earlier, in Confessional #8 it takes the audience to the elimination area to kick the maiden over.
