4	Hi! Mike here! To explain my Self-Demonstrating page!
5
6	I was a contestant on WesternAnimation/TotalDrama for the fourth and fifth seasons Revenge of the Island and All Stars. I did well in both seasons, making it to the merge in my first appearance and all the way to the finale in my second! On the show, I also met my best friend Cameron, and my girlfriend Zoey. And when I’m not on the show, I’m just a normal teenage kid trying to have a good time! I spent time with Zoey, my friends, my doctor...
7
8	Um, did I say ‘doctor’? I meant psychiatrist. GAH, no! I mean, uh, DO-OVER!
9
10	Okay, okay, I admit it, I have this, um... quirk? I have multiple personality disorder. I try to control them! But they never listen to me.
11
12	Despite my condition, I really am just a normal teenager. I’ll explain it to you in my own words!
13
14	And my alternate personalities are going to barge into it as well... unfortunately for me, that’s typical.

18	->''(For full effect, read this in Creator/CoryDoran’s voice as a kindhearted yet neurotic teenage boy.)''
19
20	* AllYourPowersCombined: In the All Stars finale, my split personalities sacrificed themselves. I was sad to see them go, but afterwards I gained all their abilities! My favorite’s Svetlana.
21
22	* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: As if switching personalities wasn’t difficult enough, I can never remember what happened during that time.
23
24	* AlternatePersonalityPunishment: No matter what happens, I always take the blame whenever one of my personalities messes things up.
25
26	* BeYourself: What Zoey taught me. For a long time, I was afraid she would think I was some freakish wierdo for my disorder. But Zoey assured me that I didn’t have anything to lie or hide or be embarrassed by.
27
28	* BigDamnKiss: Zoey and I finally got a kiss on the lips in the ''All-Stars'' finale. It was well worth the wait.
29
30	* BirdsOfAFeather: Me and Zoey have lots of similarities. She likes waffles too!
31
32	* CharacterTic: Everytime I switch, I take a deep breath and [[FishEyes bulge out my eyes]]. It’s not very enjoyable.
33
34	* CharacterDevelopment: Me and my alters really bonded and learned to work together over the course of the series.
35
36	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Thanks to my multiple personalites, I’ve been ostrazised and sent to juvie.
37
38	* DisabilitySuperpower: My personalities cause me a lot of social problems, but I’ll admit, they did sometimes help me in the challenges.
39
40	* EarnYourHappyEnding: In some endings, I was the champion of All Stars, but trust me, it was not a fun journey to get there.
41
42	* GRatedMentalIllness: A lot of viewers say my disorder wasn’t portrayed very realistically. The show had to desensitize a lot of stuff about my condition.
43
44	* HesBack: The first thing thing I did after regaining control of my body from Mal was use Vito’s strength to sock Fang, rescuing Zoey in the process.
45
46	* HidingTheHandicap: [[BlatantLies I don’t have Multiple Personality Disorder! It’s just method acting!]]
47
48	* IJustWantToBeNormal: A lot of people can’t get past my... quirk. But besides that, I really am just a normal teenage kid, and I want to be treated that way.
49
50	* InsecureLoveInterest: Zoey would never want to go out with a guy with multiple personalities. I had to hide it from her or else she’d view me as a freakish weirdo.
51
52	* KeepingTheHandicap: By the end, I had bonded so closely with my alters that I didn’t even want to get rid of them. However, it was necessary to stop Mal. Thankfully, they reminded me it wasn’t getting rid of them for good and I ended up gaining all their abilities!
53
54	* LimitedWardrobe: Vito frequently rips my shirt off, so I make sure to keep plenty of the same ones on hand.
55
56	* LoveAtFirstSight: Zoey. She’s so amazing, how could I not fall for her the second I saw her?
57
58	* NiceGuy: My disorder freaks out a lot of people, so I try to be kind to everyone to make up for it.
59
60	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: I’ll admit, dropping a boulder on my head to try and block Mal probably wasn’t my brightest move, especially considering it ended up unleashing Mal.
61
62	* OnlySaneMan: I’m a lot less over-the-top than my other personalities.
63
64	* ThePowerOfFriendship: I never would have been able to defeat Mal without the help of my other personalites. I will forever be grateful for them.
65
66	* ThePowerOfLove:
67
68	** Whenever Zoey’s in danger, I instantly snap back into myself.
69
70	** When my personalities were beating me up, I heard Zoey cry for me. I was able to conquer them because the idea of losing my shot with the coolest girl ever made me... kind of lose it.
71
72	* ReluctantPsycho: I don’t want people to view me as a freakish weirdo for my disorder. I really am just a normal guy.
73
74	* {{Sleepwalking}}: In my sleep, my personalities can take control of me without a trigger. I try to get them to settle down.
75
76	* SplitPersonality: It may take me awhile to admit it, but the truth is that I have Multiple Personality Disorder.
77
78	* SplitPersonalitySwitchTrigger: As Cam figured out, I’ll come back after a switch if I hear Zoey in peril.
79
80	* TalkingInYourSleep: Along with {{Sleepwalking}}, my personalities talk in our sleep. I try to keep things quiet, but it’s difficult.
81
82	* VitriolicBestBuds: Really, I do care for my alters. I just dislike how often their wild antics get me into trouble.
83
84	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: My number one fear is mutant gophers. After my experience in the mine, can you blame me?

95
96	You expect me to narrate a TV Tropes page? Back in my day, we didn’t need a fancy internet to read tropes! We did just fine with paper and pen!
97
98	----
99
100	* BrutalHonesty: Back in my day, we didn’t care about saying things lightly! We just told things like they were!
101
102	* GrumpyOldMan: Maybe if the youngins of today weren’t finding newfangled ways to create such jammering I wouldn’t be!
103
104	* TheLoad: How do you expect me to help? I’ve got noodles for arms!
105	* PerpetualFrowner: What do you expect me to be cheery about? Gosh darn kids!
106
107	* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: When you’ve been around as long as I have, you don’t care about being polite to anyone!
108
109	* SplitPersonalitySwitchTrigger: If Mike ever comes across some tomfoolery that frustrates him, I’ll call it out!

116
117	Mike expects himself to make his own self-demostrating page? WRONG! There is only ONE person who can do this! SVETLANA! The Olympic queen of gymnastics!
118
119	It is I, Svetlana! I first appeared when Mike needed help in the obstacle course. Unsurprisingly, Svetlana was able to ace the course for him with ease! After that, I appear whenever acrobatics were required. Svetlana faces every issue with grace, dignity, and flawless gymnastic talent!
120
121	----
122
123	* FunnyForeigner: I come from the motherland! My English word sometimes get mixed up, but language is unimportant to acrobatic truimph!
124
125	* HeroicSacrifice: I ceased my existence. It was worth it to stop Mal!
126
127	* MultiGenderedSplitPersonalities: Mike is a boy, but Svetlana is an Olympic queen!
128
129	* NiceGirl: Mike is the best for our main personality, but I still treat all nicely when I’m out. Sometimes people just need a little kindness to reach victory!
130
131	* PassionateSportsGirl: A five-time Russian champ, all athletic feats can be mastered by Svetlana!
132
133	* PluckyGirl: Victory is always around the corner!
134
135	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: I’m the only female of the personalities. Svetlana uses her feminine grace for supreme gymnastic success!
136
137	* SplitPersonalitySwitchTrigger: Whenever Mike finds himself in a physically challenging situation, Svetlana will take over to lead us to victory!
138
139	* ThirdPersonPerson: Svetlana announces much of her acrobatic actions! It reminds me of the Olympics!
140
141	* VerbalTic: Exclaiming “Hyah!” perfects any gymnastic move!

150
151	Eh oh, the name’s Vito! I first appeared during a game of Capture the Flag – I didn’t really understand what was going on, but I sure pulverized the guys willing to fight with me! Next time I came out, I met my girl Anne Maria! We didn’t talk much, but man did we have some great make out sessions! Scott led me to her once, but I wasn’t able to find her before he knocked me out. Mike’s complained that I’ve caused him a lot of trouble, but eh oh, if he doesn’t know how to live it up, that’s on him.
152
153	----
154
155	* TheBigGuy: Eh oh, that sounds like a compliment! I’m certainly the most physically capable of the group – that gomba Mal doesn’t count.
156
157	* DumbMuscle: Hey, I may not be the smartest of the mob, but who needs smarts when you can sock a shark?
158
159	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: If I’m in charge, we gotta have the hair slicked back!
160
161	* HatesBeingTouched: If you wanna touch the Vito, you gotta make an appointment!
162
163	* HeroicSacrifice: It wasn’t getting rid of us for good, but to defeat Mal, me and the rest of the team surrendered our existence.
164
165	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mike’s complained that I’ve caused him a bit of trouble, but whenever I’m out I just try to have some fun!
166
167	* MakeOutKids: Me and my girl Anne Marie! That was a great night.
168
169	* RealMenEatMeat: Mike wasn’t lying when he said I’m a total carnivore.
170
171	* SplitPersonalitySwitchTrigger: If Mike’s shirt gets ripped off, I’ll take charge for him!
172
173	* WalkingShirtlessScene: This is the only way the Vito operates!

182
183	G’day blokes and sheilas! Name’s Manitoba!
184
185	I first came out of the pouch in the mine! The other lads were stuck in a pickle tryin’ to navigate it, but for me? It was as easy as stealing vegemite from a ‘roo! I seek adventure, and there’s no better lad to handle it than me!
186
187	----
188
189	* AdventurerArchaeologist: Not even the wildest kookaburra can surpass my treasure hunting skills!
190
191	* AllThereInTheManual: You look at Mike’s character bio, you’ll find out I have a lovely sheila for my wife!
192
193	* AwesomeAussie: I certainly come from the land down under, and there’s no better lad to handle adventure than me!
194
195	* AwesomenessByAnalysis: All I need is a lick of the ground to calculate the best path to trek!
196
197	* CasanovaWannabe: I’ll offer my hand to any shiela I come across, but Zoey’s a good lassie for sticking loyal to Mike.
198
199	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: When Mal chained me to a boulder like a wallaby in a cage, he forced me to lasso Mike’s dreams.
200
201	* {{Expy}}: People have reckoned that I’m similar to [[Franchise/IndianaJones another fedora-wearing]] AdventurerArchaeologist and a late [[Creator/SteveIrwin Crocodile Hunter]].
202
203	* FastTunnelling: I can tunnel through the sand to locate a treasure like a dingo digging for some loot!
204
205	* HeroicSacrifice: We’d all still be a part of Mike in a way, but the four of us willingly surrendered our independent existence.
206

214	->''(For full effect, read this in Creator/CoryDoran’s voice as a malevolent sadist.)''
215
216
217	Welcome, peon. I see you’ve made your way through the imbeciles above me, and have reached my section – well, I am at your disservice.
218
219	My name is Mal. Others have dubbed me the Malevolent One. Grandiose moniker, isn’t it? And fitting too. I abide in chaos and destruction. I got locked in juvie for my behavior, but don’t fret, I was quickly running the place. Duncan, a lowly punk, heard of me, and remained terrified of me years later. Which he should. After the juvie incident, I was forced to remain dormant for years. Mike thought he had eradicated me – but, in actuality, I was conserving my energy and waiting for the perfect moment to strike! That moment revealed itself to be the start of All Stars. After Manitoba moronically got us hit in the head with a shovel, I was able to break through. I took full control of the body shortly after, and I was thriving. One by one, I caused all of the competitors to fall. Before I knew it, the million dollars was within my grasp!
220
221	Hm? You’ve heard a spiel about how Mike freed the personalities locked inside his head and took me down by destroying my tower? Pay no attention to that. I am unconquerable. Now, please, read my page – it may just be the last thing you ever do.
222
223	----
224
225	* AllYourPowersCombined: When I had them chained up, I could access any skill the other personalities had. Care to join them?
226
227	* ArchEnemy: Mike, the little twerp, lived in fear of me for years. I was responsible for getting us locked into juvie, and I locked him in his own head as I destroyed his friendships on my way to the million dollars.
228
229	* AxCrazy: Oh, am I. Nothing brought me more joy than finally getting to let lose after so many years pent up.
230
231	* BadSamaritan: Ugh. It was so annoying having to save Zoey from the piranhas that one time. I was parading as goody-two shoes Mike, so I only did it so it wouldn’t look suspicious.
232
233	* BigBad: Oh, flattering! I played everyone like a fiddle in ''All-Stars''.
234
235	* BigBadFriend: Since I was undercover as Mike, I got to toy with the peons all while they thought I was their closest friend!
236
237	* CardCarryingVillain: Don’t mistake for an instant that I’m anything like boring, nice Mike. I’m a real villain. One who would live in a tower. Preferably overlooking a volcano.
238
239	* ChaosIsEvil: I just can’t resist a little chaos!
240
241	* CharacterTics: I just love whistling that diabolical tune of mine. I’ve been doing it since juvie!
242
243	* TheChessmaster: I toyed with the peons on All-Stars, setting sabotages left and right and doing excellent manipulation posing as Mike!
244
245	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: What, you think I wouldn’t betray you? You’ll serve whatever I need you for. Once that’s over, it’s down the toilet with you.
246
247	* ColdBloodedTorture: It’s delightful! Svetlana’s agonized screams in the subconscious as I used her abilities? So satisfying.
248
249	* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: The physical trait I kept when I disguised myself as Mike. Come on, I couldn’t look like a total loser.
250
251	* DarkIsEvil: I love hiding in the shadows and nighttime. Such a perfect opportunity to strike.
252
253	* DemonicDummy: I gave Vito one of these. Never occurred to the imbecile that I could be possessing it.
254
255	* TheDreaded: You bet I am! The personalities, Duncan, and the Boney Island animals all wet their pants with fear when they encountered me.
256
257	* EnemyWithin: I spent years trapped inside the subconscious. I began taking control again in short intervals, but eventually managed to subdue Mike completely.
258
259	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: And I’m justified in doing so. Seriously, what does Zoey see in Mike that makes her so dedicated?
260
261	* EvilIsBurningHot: Fire; cause of destruction, pain, and death. What else could you want from an element?
262
263	* EvilIsPetty: Even such little acts of cruelty are so delightful. Destroying Sam and Sierra’s electronic trinkets? Priceless!
264
265	* EvilPlan: I planned to take the million and build an evil tower, keeping Mike trapped in the subconcious forever. If I had gotten my way, everyone would have lost.
266
267	* EvilSoundsDeep: I often had to hide it with Mike’s stupid squeaky voice, but my natural barytone is low and demonic.
268
269	* EvilVersusEvil: That’s giving Alejandro too much credit. Me and him fought in one challenge, but he’s nothing compared to me.
270
271	* EvilTowerOfOminousness: I had a wonderfully foreboding one that could be seen all throughout the mindscape, but then Mike and the peons destroyed it!
272
273	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: My hair flops down whenever I’m in control. I had to keep it up with hairspray when I was impersonating Mike.
274
275	* FaceFramedInShadow: Being concealed in the darkness is a masterful way to get away with treachery.
276
277	* GoodEyesEvilEyes: Mike’s a bug-eyed weirdo with wide, bright brown eyes. Mine are a sinister black.
278
279	* HatedByAll: No one liked me once they realized I wasn’t really Mike, but I take that as a compliment!
280
281	* HydePlaysJekyll: Posing as Mike was the best strategy towards winning the million dollars. It was a pain having to pretend to be that boring, so it was honestly a relief when Zoey finally caught me.
282
283	* JekyllAndHyde: Mike’s a goody-two shoes. I rival in chaos and destruction.
284
285	* JustBetweenYouAndMe: I revealed my identity to Cameron, and that I let him fall. He was so badly maimed he couldn’t even tell anyone about it! Oh, that was just so satisfying.
286
287	* KingInTheMountain: The personalities dubbed me “the Malevolent One.” I laid dormant so long, they thought I was gone forever. Little did they know, I was just conserving my energy, and waiting for my moment.
288
289	* KnightOfCerebus: You bet I’m the worse villain this show has ever seen! The others are pathetic. They never even tried to kill anyone. Boring.
290
291	* {{Leitmotif}}: That delightful little tune I always whistle. Want it to be the last thing you ever hear?
292
293	* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: If it was up to be, I would have buried every contestant alive. But I had to pretend to be Mike, so each of my sabotages had to look like they weren’t intentional.
294
295	* ManipulativeBastard: I had everyone wrapped around my finger. Even the people Mike wasn’t close to, I took them all down.
296
297	* MeaningfulName: Mal means “evil” in numerous languages. Fitting, isn’t it?
298
299	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: To the personalities, I was just known as “The Malevolent One”. A perfect moniker for myself.
300
301	* NearVillainVictory: I was seconds away from winning the million before Mike pushed that dastardly reset button!
302
303	* NightmareFetishist: I love when things get scary.
304
305	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: I delivered one to Izzy when she caught onto my ruse. Everyone was taken aback by how far I went, considering I was still pretending to be Mike, but I had to shut her up.
306
307	* ObviouslyEvil: Oh, please. Whenever I’m able to be myself, I drip evil. I’ll break anything I can get my hands on, and cause chaos at every opportunity.
308
309	* PerfectDisguiseTerribleActing: I can do a pitch-perfect impression of Mike, but give me a break, it’s hard to pretend to be that lame for so long. I couldn’t help letting my natural malevolent tendencies slip through.
310
311	* PragmaticVillainy: It was annoying, having to save Zoey from those piranhas, but I had to do it to keep my cover from being blown.
312
313	* {{Sadist}}: I wear that title like a badge of pride. The suffering of others overjoys me. I couldn’t even prevent myself from laughing at Chris’s hilarious starved interns while I was pretending to be obnoxiously nice Mike.
314
315	* SealedEvilInACan: Mike thought he could keep me subdued forever after he pledged to get rid of me after juvie. I played along for a few years, but that imbecile Scott did something right for once, and him hitting Mike with a shovel set me free.
316
317	* SlasherSmile: I’d never give something nice like a smile unless it was one of these.
318
319	* SmarterThanYouLook: I’m stuck in Mike’s stupid body, isn’t this a given? Regardless, some have considered my initial behavior to be a bit chaotic, but from the very start, I always had a plan.
320
321	* TheSociopath: I consider that to be a good thing! There isn’t anyone I wouldn’t maim or sacrifice to reach my goal; in fact, I’d do it with pleasure.
322
323	* SplitPersonalityTakeover: After Mike idiotically knocked himself out with a boulder, I took control of the body full-time. In my opinion, the whole system was going much better after that.
324
325	* TokenEvilTeammate: Of the entire cast, quite frankly. No one comes close to me in villainy.
326
327	* TooPowerfulToLive: If Mike hadn’t cheated by wiping me out with a stupid button, I could have taken over the world!
328
329	* VileVillainSaccharineShow: All the other quote-unquote “villains” this show had were so lame. They seemed to be limited by the fact that they wanted to look good to the audience. I couldn’t care less about what some plebeians watching TV think of me. I held nothing back in my attempts to be victorious.
330
331	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: One benefit of pretending to be Mike was that I got the reception of his pathetic NiceGuy nature. Made destroying all of them much easier.
