A contestant from Total Drama School. Devin is a white kid who was formerly nerdy, but discovered rap music and now dreams of becoming a "gangsta." He was eliminated early in School but returned at the merge, then was eliminated again shortly afterward. He returned for ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'', and was the first one out at the merge, because [[HeKnowsTooMuch he heard Trey's true plans]].

[[quoteright:49:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elenathumb.png]]
The 12th-placer of ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'', who developed some OP traits very early in the story, then TookALevelInJerkass (nobody knows why or how, it's hinted that this is how she's always been) and was eliminated quite abruptly. Returns with a much more [[AlphaBitch abrasive]] personality.

* AttentionWhore: Sometimes outright states she's doing things just to get more screentime, such as making out with Trey.

[[quoteright:49:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nicthumb.PNG]]

* HandsomeLech: While he was shrimpy and unappealing in Tiki Jungle, Nic has gone through puberty and is now conventionally attractive - but nobody cares, since his personality is the exact same.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Alejandro's theme is described as playing when Nic makes appearances, although it's usually played from his phone.

[[quoteright:49:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/orithumb.PNG]]

* StraightGay: Ori's obsession with Devin mostly stems from insecurity and having a crush on him. He doesn't exhibit any other stereotypically camp mannerisms.

[[quoteright:49:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pjthumb.PNG]]

* {{Flanderization}}: After PJ's quote "..." became a meme among readers, PJ 'says' it constantly in this story. In her first season, it was only said a couple times, and she mostly spent her time saying one-word responses or shuffling around silently.

[[quoteright:49:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/puckthumb.PNG]]

[[quoteright:49:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wolfgangthumb.PNG]]

* NotSoDifferent: With Flora. While Chelsey wouldn't like to admit it, both are female brunettes who are fan favorite characters from their respective seasons, have gained additional focus and development this season, and are the only people to trust [[ObviouslyEvil Trey]].

* NotSoDifferent: With Chelsey. While Chelsey wouldn't like to admit it, both are female brunettes who are fan favorite characters from their respective seasons, have gained additional focus and development this season, and are the only people to trust [[ObviouslyEvil Trey]].

* NotSoDifferent: Both Tolkien and Trick are male contestants on the same team who are considered the more attractive male contestants and have names starting with T.

* NotSoDifferent: See entry under 'Tolkien.'

The 12th-placer of ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'', who developed some MarySue-like traits very early in the story, then TookALevelInJerkass (nobody knows why or how, it's hinted that this is how she's always been) and was eliminated quite abruptly. Returns with a much more [[AlphaBitch abrasive]] personality.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Between seasons. She was a generally nice, friendly, almost MarySue-ish character in Tiki Jungle, but turned extremely rude and abrasive once she returned in Superstar Showdown.

* NonGameplayElimination: [[spoiler: In a shocking twist, Arthur and Julia come in last place in the pairs/wedding challenge, causing them to be simultaneously eliminated from the game.]]

* SpotlightStealingSquad: Arthur acquires an absurd amount of focus for the first few chapters. It's later balanced out, but he's still the main comic relief character of the season.

* NonGameplayElimination: [[spoiler: In a shocking twist, Arthur and Julia come in last place in the pairs/wedding challenge, causing them to be simultaneously eliminated from the game.]]

* TheScrappy: In-universe example. As shown in the [[AllThereInTheManual pre-season biographies]], Arthur is the producers' least favorite contestant ever, only brought back due to them needing another male from Tiki Jungle, and [[JerkJock Manty]] being busy with lacrosse.
* SlapSlapKiss: Arthur seems to believe that this is the case between him and Julia, and there's some ShipTease initially to prove it, especially with the multiple kisses. They end up agreeing to have a truce and become JustFriends (or Just Acquaintances).

One of the ''three'' main [[AlphaBitch Alpha Bitches]] of the cast, and a Total Drama Revolution veteran. In her original season, she didn't do much other than watch [[BlandNameProduct Nebraska Shore]] and act vaguely bitchy, but made it to the final five and was a ''huge'' EnsembleDarkhorse.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: She's part Latina, but is also just ridiculously tan.

* BreakoutCharacter: Big time. Was a relatively minor character in [=TDRev=], mostly acting as second fiddle to Elle, but soon became popular due to her interesting design and her love of scarves. She was brought back (with a pretty main role, no less!) because of this, and made it to the final two.

* GirlPosse: Tries to make one with [[FlatCharacter flat characters]] Flora, Veronica, and Mackenzie, but things don't necessarily go as planned.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Despite hating Elena, Chelsey is forced to work with her to eliminate Kavren.

* ActionGirl

* AloofDarkHairedGirl
* CaptainErsatz: Not her, but her T-shirt depicts a character labeled "[[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Invader Jim]]", who looks identical to another invader.
* CoolShades

* GenderBlenderName: Her real name is Christian, which also overlaps with EmbarrassingFirstName.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Basically said word-for-word in her biography.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Julia, and Helga to a lesser extent.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Subverted, got out late pre-merge.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname
* {{Tomboy}}
* {{Tsundere}}: Her plot with Nic involving her being this carries on to this season, as well.

A contestant from Total Drama School. Devin is a white kid who was formerly nerdy, but discovered street lingo and now talks in unintelligible slang and dreams of being a rapper. He was eliminated early in School, but returned and was eliminated shortly afterward. He returned for ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'', and was the first one out at the merge, because [[HeKnowsTooMuch he knew too much]].
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Especially with his hair.

* [[MyGreatestSecondChance My Greatest Third Chance]]: In a sense - he's a pretty early out, but competes in a similar amount of episodes to his time in School.

* AttentionWhore: Sometimes outright states she's doing things (such as making out with Trey) just to get more screentime.
* BookDumb: Seems to think that parmesan is a spice, among other examples.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: For the Ralphcakes. She's set up as a hugely negative presence and the ultimate rival to Chelsey, until she gets voted out right at the end of the pre-merge to make way for [[spoiler: Trey]].

* MsFanservice: Pretty much thinks she's this.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Despite hating Chelsey, is forced to work with her to eliminate Kavren.

The boring girl from ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTokyo'', Flora somehow became a huge EnsembleDarkhorse despite being a very OutOfFocus parody of the author's past slotfiller characters. After her pre-merge elimination in Tokyo, she's returning in hopes of becoming less of a FlatCharacter.
* BadassAdorable: Flora wins four immunity challenges after the merge, tying Julia's record from Tiki Jungle.

* BirdsOfAFeather: With Estrella. See entry under 'Estrella'.

Total Drama Revolution's runner-up. He was most notable for being pervy and a SpotlightStealingSquad, making up strange words, and wearing a banana suit.

* DemotedToExtra: Kavren was one of the main characters of Total Drama Revolution; come this season he makes jokes with Arthur a lot...and then is the first boot off of his team this time around.

Mackenzie is the 14th-placer of Total Drama Revolution, known for having a very cheery and friendly personality and being a character who readers wanted to have a second chance after her unceremoniously early boot.

* BigBadWannabe: He's definitely this, considering his idol was a BigBad.

* StalkerWithACrush: Towards many of the girls competing, as well as Alejandro. His pre-season bio states that he traveled 10 hours to Canada to attend a meet-and-greet hosted by Alejandro, but [[NoodleIncident was forcibly removed by security guards]].
* {{Troll}}: Becomes this to Trey as a last resort when his other plans fail. [[spoiler: This one doesn't work either, and he is voted off.]]

Ori is the only character in the story not created by the author - he was made by the winner of a contest the author held. The 9th-placer of Total Drama Revolution, Ori was known for having violent mood swings and [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents a dorky father]]. He has returned, now with an obsession with Devin.

* [[BlackDudeDiesFirst Black Dude Gets Eliminated First]]: First contestant voted off, as well as the only black contestant on the show (unless you count the biracial Arthur, or Julian of ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTokyo'', who was originally going to be a contestant).

* StraightGay: Ori's obsession with Devin is mostly due to being insecure and having a crush on him. He doesn't exhibit any other stereotypically camp mannerisms.

PJ, quite possibly the biggest BreakoutCharacter in the series up until Tokyo, is the 19th-placer of Total Drama Revolution, who was known for doing basically nothing except [[VisibleSilence saying "..." frequently]].
* {{Flanderization}}: After PJ's quote "..." became a meme on the site the story was written on, PJ spent most of her time in this story saying said quote. In her first season, it was only said a couple times, and she mostly spent her time saying one-word responses or shuffling around silently.
* HistoryRepeatsItself: PJ is second voted off ''again''.

* OnlyKnownByInitials: Her real name is said to be Patricia Jane.

-> "''Wolfie is just a hater. We're definitely friends. He just... doesn't appreciate my panache. That's okay, true friends can admit each other's faults!''"

* EmbarrassingFirstName: Cornelius.

The 12th-placer of Total Drama Revolution. Trick was a chill skater dude who found true love in [[NerdsAreSexy Cammy]], another contestant on his season, and the two ended up becoming an obnoxiously lovey-dovey couple. Trick returned without Cammy to redeem himself and prove that he isn't a bad guy.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Usually subverted, he can barely run for very long without running out of breath. However, he does show random bursts of power in certain challenges, similar to Puck.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Although according to WordOfGod, he's meant to be biracial, both white and African-American.
* ArchNemesis: Julia, naturally, although it's mostly one-sided. Arthur's greatest enemy, in his book, is probably Trey.

* FatBastard: Not only is Arthur overweight, but he's also an obnoxious moron.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Arthur isn't a pleasant person to be around by any means, but he's not actively evil. He's legitimately torn up when his friends (such as Kavren and Puck) get voted out, and after he reveals his crush on Julia, it's obvious he cares about her deep down.

* TheScrappy: In-universe example. As shown in the [[AllThereInTheManual pre-season biographies]], Arthur is the producers' least favorite contestant ever, and he was only brought back due to them needing another male from Tiki Jungle, and [[JerkJock Manty]] being busy with lacrosse.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: Arthur acquires an absurd amount of focus for the first few chapters. The screentime is later balanced out, but he's still the main comic relief character of the season.
* StoutStrength: Although he's usually very unathletic, his sheer girth allows him to break things easily.

* StockUnderwear: Of the polka-dotted kind.

* BlackBestFriend: He's [[ButNotTooBlack biracial]], so he can qualify as this to Kavren.

The slot-filler from ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTokyo'', who somehow became a huge EnsembleDarkhorse despite being purposely boring, purposely OutOfFocus, and voted off late pre-merge. She is returning in hopes of becoming less of a FlatCharacter.

* FlatCharacter: She's a parody of the type of these found in Total Drama fanfictions (including the author's past ones), though as the story goes on, it's evident there's more to her.

* RantInducingSlight: Every so often, Arthur (or another contestant like Puck)'s antics, no matter how small, will send Julia into a fury.

The winner of Fanfic/TotalDramaTokyo, notable for having a lonely old butler named Charles who followed her around and catered to her every request, as well as her cantankerous behavior toward everyone else. She has returned so she could win more money after giving all of her prize money to Charles.

* PinkMeansFeminine

* HotterAndSexier: He's definitely more attractive than he was in ''Tiki Jungle'', but only physically.
* {{Leitmotif}}: It's a fanfic, but WordOfGod says that Alejandro's theme is occasionally given to Nic, although usually played on his phone.

* OnlyKnownByInitials: WordOfGod states her real name is Patricia Jane.

-> "''Wolfie is just a hater. We're definitely friends. He just... doesn't appreciate my panache. That's okay, true friends like each other for who they are!''"

* AmbiguouslyBi: He's in a very devoted relationship with Casey, a girl, but sometimes his behavior towards Wolfgang seems to be a tad more than platonic. He's also a self-proclaimed "pretty big One Erection stan."

* {{Flanderization}}: Puck was a versatile comic relief character in Tokyo, but come this season, he's mostly just an obsessive devotee to Wolfgang, with the puns and obscure slang ramped up. Justified, as he's Wolfgang's SatelliteCharacter.

* InLoveWithLove: Heavily implied, especially once Roz rebuffs him and he instantly starts joining dating sites.

-> "''I used to go to the gym... Before it happened... Before... That was so... My life is like a fart...''"

The 8th-placer from the very first season, Total Drama School, and the only School alum in the story to not return to ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle''. Veronica was known for being the second-in-command to resident AlphaBitch Amanda, and being used as a doormat. She returned so she could be more independent.

* NiceGirl: She's one of the few characters on the season who is undeniably good-hearted.

* AnythingThatMoves: Nic flirts with essentially every girl in the game, [[BiTheWay as well as some of the guys]], and almost none of them reciprocate.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: The most strategic character at the beginning of the story who causes a few eliminations, he's ultimately voted off premerge.

!!!Roz - The GenkiGirl

* GenkiGirl: Hence her label.

Veteran from Total Drama School and ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'', placing 4th and 14th respectively. Known for being extremely lazy and docile, yet somehow getting to the final four of School thanks to his odd relationship with resident GenkiGirl Sharissa.

The runner-up of ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle''. A portly individual, who's fond of spouting out non sequiturs and being rude and obnoxious (especially to Julia) for no particular reason.

Chrissy is the third placer of ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle''. A pretty gruff person, Chrissy is quite a {{Tomboy}} and doesn't take any crap from anyone, especially [[AbhorrentAdmirer Nic]]. She was known for her strong bond with Julia, but has changed her habits quite a bit since the season ended, becoming a hipster.

A contestant from Total Drama School. Devin is a white kid who was formerly nerdy, but discovered street lingo and now talks in unintelligible slang and dreams of being a rapper. Was eliminated early in School, but returned and was eliminated shortly afterward. He returned for ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'', and was the first one out at the merge, because [[HeKnowsTooMuch he knew too much]].

Veteran of ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'', who developed some MarySue-like traits very early in the story, then TookALevelInJerkass (nobody knows why or how, it's hinted that this is how she's always been) and was eliminated quite abruptly. Returns with a much more... abrasive personality.

The generic slotfiller from ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTokyo'', who somehow became a huge EnsembleDarkhorse despite being deliberately bland, OutOfFocus, and voted off late pre-merge. She is returning in hopes of becoming less of a FlatCharacter.

Toad-al Drama's original DeadpanSnarker. Competed in Total Drama School and was a quite early out, not showing much of a personality other than reading books, and returned for ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'' with a sarcastic quip about pretty much everything. Still does absolutely nothing but read books and say smart-alecky things.

The vertically challenged winner of ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'', who was known for having a Napoleon complex. Was known for her strong bond with Chrissy, as well as her... not so strong bond with [[ArchEnemy Arthur]]. Now has brown hair, and is obsessed with [[Music/OneDirection One Erection]].

Total Drama Revolution's runner-up. Known for making up strange words, being best friends with Arthur from before either of them competed on Total Drama, and wearing a banana suit.

The winner of Fanfic/TotalDramaTokyo, notable for having a lonely old butler named Charles who followed her around and catered to her every request, and her generally cantankerous behavior towards almost everyone else. She has returned so she could win more money due to giving all of her prize money to Charles.

Mackenzie is the 14th-placer of Total Drama Revolution, known for having a very cheery and friendly personality and being a character who readers wanted to have a second chance after being unceremoniously booted early.

One of the ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'' newbies, who finished in 4th place. He was famous for idolizing Alejandro from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama World Tour'' and attempting to be like him in every way possible, including manipulating his teammates, (failing miserably at) wooing women, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers having conversations with his abs]].

Ori is the only character in the story created by a user other than the author - the winner of a contest the author held. The 9th-placer of Total Drama Revolution, Ori was known for having violent mood swings and [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents a dorky father]]. He has returned, now with a disturbing obsession with Devin.

* StraightGay: According to WordOfGay, Ori is gay, and his obsession with Devin is mostly due to being insecure and having a crush on him. He doesn't exhibit any other stereotypically camp mannerisms.

PJ, quite possibly the biggest BreakoutCharacter in the series (at least, up until Tokyo), is the 19th-placer of Total Drama Revolution, who was known for doing basically nothing except [[VisibleSilence saying "..." frequently]].

The 5th-placer of Fanfic/TotalDramaTokyo, known for his affinity for cheesy puns, his delusional "friendship" with Wolfgang, his volatile relationship with [[{{Tsundere}} Casey]], his belief that he's half-penguin, and his generally bizarre antics.

Trey is a veteran of ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'', who placed 7th. He was originally presented as a nice, laid-back surfer heartthrob type with an attraction to [[CloudCuckoolander Octavia]], but soon revealed his true colors as the main antagonist of the season. After attempting to steal the money from the winner, Julia, he was trapped on Tiki Island for a year and experienced a drastic change in his personality.

* GagBoobs: The target of many perverted jokes made by Arthur.

* FlatCharacter: She's a parody of slotfillers in Total Drama fanfictions - though as the story goes on, it's evident there's more to her.

** To Chelsey as well. Both are extremely well-liked brunette girls from their respective seasons, but Chelsey is a selfish, popular girl while Flora is a kind-hearted, 'boring' girl.

* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: One of, if not the nicest contestant on the season; [[HairTriggerTemper Wolfgang]] doesn't even hate her.
* NonGameplayElimination: [[spoiler: At the very end of the penultimate chapter, Flora quits to sacrifice herself and save Wolfgang]].

-> "''IF YOU INSULT ONE ERECTION ONE MORE TIME, YOU LITTLE BUM, I WILL TAKE MY SUITCASE, AND I'LL--''"

* TinyTyrannicalGirl

* ChivalrousPervert: Kavren is essentially a twelve-year-old in the body of an eighteen-year-old, but he still seems to care about the female characters he makes crude jokes about.

One of the ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'' newbies, who finished in 4th place. He was famous for idolizing Alejandro from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama World Tour'' and attempting to be like him in every way possible, including manipulating his teammates, wooing women (and failing miserably), and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers having conversations with his abs]].

* AmbiguouslyBi: Although he's constantly hitting on women, sometimes his love for Alejandro comes off as a little more than just idolizing. In addition, after winning a challenge, he kisses Alex on the cheek.

* ManChild: Puck's in his late teens but acts like an 8-year-old. He's a massive fan of the [[Franchise/HelloKitty Bonjour Doggy]] franchise, doesn't know how to tie his shoes, and is considered by his mom to be a "late bloomer."

* FlatCharacter: Veronica was this in School, and is known to be one of the three 'boring girls.' This time around, however, she's actually very interesting and developed.

* AnimeHair

* BadassGrandpa: Charles is known to be extremely buff, causing all of Layla's physical punishments for him to be merely scoffed at.

* FatBastard: Not only is Arthur overweight, but he's also an obnoxious, pathetic weirdo.

* SpoiledSweet: Her dad is a businessman and she owns a variety of expensive electronics and clothing.

* AnnoyingLaugh: He has many.

* GibberishOfLove: After appearing at a McDonalds and walking outside to see Chelsey, Casey responds in the exact same gibberish she did upon first meeting her in Tokyo.

-->'''Roz:''' All right, this could be a really anti-climactic vote, or it could possibly be full o’ juicy bits.
-->'''Puck:''' Heh heh. Juicy bits.

* ManChild: Puck's in his late teens but acts like an 8-year-old. He's a massive fan of the [[HelloKitty Bonjour Doggy]] franchise, doesn't know how to tie his shoes, and is considered by his mom to be a "late bloomer."

* HeroicSacrifice: In the second-to-last chapter, Flora and Wolfgang realize that there's a tie for second place in the challenge, and Flora lets Wolfgang pass her and avoid being eliminated due to how nice he was to her, in a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

The generic slotfiller from ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTokyo'', who somehow became a huge EnsembleDarkhorse despite being deliberately OutOfFocus and voted off late pre-merge. She is returning in hopes of becoming less of a FlatCharacter.

* FlatCharacter: Played up as her gimmick, although as the story goes on, it's evident there's more to her.

* ShoutOut: In the sandbag challenge borrowed from {{Survivor}}, her shirt is ripped off and she ends up FlippingTheBird at Veronica, just like Sugar Kiper from the aforementioned show.

One of the ''Fanfic/TotalDramaTikiJungle'' newbies, who finished in 4th place. He was famous for idolizing Alejandro from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaWorldTour'' and attempting to be like him in every way possible, including manipulating his teammates, wooing women (and failing miserably), and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers having conversations with his abs]].

* TheVoiceless: Subverted - while he was this in the last season, he now talks just as much as any other character, with no reason as to why, similar to Justin in WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland.

* TheScrappy: In-universe example. As shown in the [[AllThereInTheManual pre-season biographies]], Arthur is the producers' least favorite contestant ever, he was only brought back due to them needing another male from Tiki Jungle, and [[JerkJock Manty]] being busy with lacrosse.
