Chris McLean: Chris is a five-foot-eight 163-pound Scottish-Canadian with black neck-length messy hair in a wolfcut with bangs, and black dotted squoval eyes. Chris McLean is a 32-year-old. Chris wears a dark-turquoise collared chest-pocketed shirt over a white undershirt with runched-up sleeves, olive green cargo pants, and opaque turquoise sneakers with white soles. Chris McLean, as in canon, is the host of Total Drama Island—which is where Chris has the literal power of life and death over the contestants. Chris is in charge of designing challenges for the contestants to compete in—all of which he intentionally makes excruciating and gruesome to satisfy his sadistic tendencies. Chris has zero concern for fairness and sportsmanship in the Total Drama Island competition and loves eliminating contestants who don't deserve it in abrupt, unfair, and even outright cruel ways. Chris will break the fundamental rules of the game. Chris thoroughly appreciates it whenever contestants fight, bully, exploit, betray, and cheat against each other, and start conflicts between them. Chris is sensitive about his past embarrassments and age, intentionally making things harder for himself or even pettily executing contestants when they bring up either of these subjects. Chris disregards everyone else's trouble in favour of his safety. Chris will severely neglect and torment his interns, having them constantly test-run the challenges and severely ignoring their health (and lives). Chris takes intense pleasure in watching the competitors suffer and goes out of his way to make things as difficult as possible for his amusement. Chris acknowledges his appearance as one of his most prized possessions, viewing himself as highly attractive. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Chef Hatchet: Chef Hatchet is a seven-foot-tall, 289-pound African-Canadian wearing a yellow-green shirt with folded short sleeves, dark green pants, black pointed boots, a white apron, and a white puffy chef hat. Chef Hatchet is a 62-year-old. Chef Hatchet is the secondary antagonist of Total Drama, an illegitimate cook, and a sadistic individual who's Chris McLean’s personal sidekick. Chef does NOT have a wife or children. He is a single man in his and does not plan on retiring or laying down anytime soon. Chef once mentioned 25 soldiers, including himself, went into a jungle, suggesting he served in the Vietnam War, and that only 5 of them came out. Chef is assumed to be an American man who served in Vietnam and then moved to Canada after the Vietnam War. Chef was born in 1954 and he was 18 and served in Vietnam, somewhere between 1972-1973, he'd be at least 60 by 2007, when the first season was originally supposed to commence. Chris McLean’s selfishness and neglect of the competitors will sometimes be duplicated in his treatment of Chef, who is not at all hesitant to call the other out and, in some instances, threatens to leave the show entirely. Chef Hatchet is the psychotic sidekick of Total Drama host Chris McLean. Chef provides the meals for the contestants, disgusting slop which has been slammed by all but a few competitors, but even they have complained about it at one point or another. Chef does show occasionally a bit of care for some of the competitors and is considerably less sadistic than Chris since he has been shown to sympathise with some of the contestants. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Eva: Eva is a five-foot-seven 168-pound Eastern European with black hair in a ponytail and hazel eyes with a unibrow.

Ezekiel speaks with a stereotypical Canadian English accent. Ezekiel is a naive country boy who was home-schooled at his farm and came with disgusting habits such as picking his nose in front of others.

Ezekiel also has some rather warped viewpoints on life, mostly due to his parents. Ezekiel believes that women are inferior to men and also seems to value money over his present and future relationships. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Sadie: Sadie is a five-foot-two 189-pound White-Canadian with hair and clothing similar to Katie but she is shorter and slightly obese.

Sadie and Katie do everything together, including wearing the same outfits. Like Katie, Sadie is a sensitive, cheerful, and sweet-natured girl. Sadie shows herself to be rather emotional, even more so than Katie. Sadie cries whenever she is upset, and lashes out at others. Sadie is boy-crazy and when she grows attracted to someone, she and Katie will fawn over him endlessly. Sadie is considered the more analytical one between the two. Sadie’s biography even states that she "thinks with her head", contrasting with Katie who "thinks with her heart". Another thing evident in Sadie’s biography is where it states that Sadie is known for not doing anything without Katie. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Katie: Katie is a five-foot-eight 119-pound Caucasian with jet-black hair in two high pigtails with pink hair bobbles, black eyes, and tanned skin. Katie is a 22-year-old. Katie wears a black and white striped crop top, pink unbuttoned shorts, and pink wedge slide sandals. Katie is most notable for being Sadie’s Best Friend.

Katie is boy-crazy and when she has grown attracted to someone, she and Sadie will fawn over him endlessly. Katie can be considered the more passionate one between her and Sadie. Katie’s biography states that she "thinks with her heart," in contrast to Sadie who "thinks with her head." Katie is shown to have an alarmingly horrible sense of direction, a flaw that oftentimes produces tragic results. Sadie's label of "The Sweet Girl's Friend" implies that Katie is additionally independent and capable of making decisions on her own. However, given her thinking habits, they don't always turn out to be wise. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Justin: Justin is a five-foot-eleven 174-pound Polynesian-Hawaiian with a six-pack of washboard abs and thick, shiny, luscious, dark hair.

Justin wears a pair of ripped blue jeans and brown shoes. Justin is a 19-year-old. Justin wears a green shirt that shows the tops of his abs at the collar but he is mostly not wearing it because his hot six pack of washboard abs are too sexy to be contained for too long. Justin is a supermodel of incredible beauty. Justin is so handsome that he can make everyone around, whether they are male or female, human or animal, stop dead in their tracks at the mere sight of him. Justin is extremely vain and often can be found looking at himself in his mirror throughout the season. Justin is manipulative, using his looks to get something he wants or to get out of something he doesn't want to do on many occasions. Justin is also a bit lazy and consistently finds justifications to get out of doing challenges, believing them to be bad for his looks. Because of his vanity, Justin often overreacts to even the smallest injury to his face, instantly believing himself to be grotesque, and jumping to wild, obscure, and outright weird conclusions. Justin is also perfectly aware of how much he depends on his looks and isn't anything without them, knowing he lacks both the intelligence and the talent to make it in the real world. Despite his faults, Justin isn't necessarily always mean-spirited and tends to be friendly and social towards most of the other contestants. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Beth: Beth is a four-foot-six 166-pound White-Canadian with medium-length chocolate-brown hair tied into a left-sided ponytail with a pink scrunchie.

Beth was born and raised on a farm with only the barn animal companions and her parents to keep her company. Thanks to her background, Beth never developed proper social skills, even stating that her best friend is her pet pig, Bertha. Beth does anything for attention, and while she excels at getting others to stop and stare, it is more often than not for embarrassing reasons. Beth herself remains oblivious to this problem. Beth also tends to be a very dependent person, most likely caused by her desire for everyone to like her. Beth’s naïve ways make her an ideal target for antagonists like Courtney, Heather, and Duncan to manipulate her. Beth is considered to be a sweet and trustworthy girl, even if she is wacky, unsociable, attention-seeking, and oblivious. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Tyler: Tyler is a six-foot-one 187-pound White-Canadian with brown short hair with a red and white headband covering his forehead.

While Tyler tries to present a strong masculine image of himself as an average stereotypical jock, Tyler is fairly emotional and sensitive. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Lindsay: Lindsay is a five-foot-six 123-pound Caucasian with a lightly tanned complexion, long dyed golden blonde hair, that is kept in a light-sapphire blue dodger-bandana which matches her doe eyes. Lindsay is an 18-year-old. Lindsay has a long neck, slender build, and an hourglass figure completed with well-endowed breasts.

Lindsay is known for not being smart, but friendly, having a consistently sunny disposition, much to Heather and Courtney's dismay. Lindsay is quite popular among the cast. Despite being in love with Tyler, Lindsay has fallen for many other men, like Justin, Trent, Duncan, and Geoff. Lindsay's big heart and childlike innocence made her one of the most well-liked competitors on the show. Other contestants are frequently annoyed by Lindsay’s noticeable lack of intelligence. However. Lindsay has been shown to have pure intentions. Lindsay shows herself to be an underdog and hates to be underestimated by her peers, doing her best to defeat them and prove herself. Unfortunately for Lindsay, due to her naïve and gullible nature, she is often tricked by false friendships and manipulated by the show's antagonists. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Trent: Trent is a six-foot 179-pound White-Canadian with black hair, green eyes, and fair light skin.

Gwen is a goth girl and loner whose interests lie in art and astronomy. Gwen is smart, independent, kind-hearted, and level-headed, stating her best quality is her inability to get excited over minuscule things. Beneath Gwen’s tough exterior, there is a kind heart that learns to trust. Gwen believes strongly in karma and is also a huge fan of horror movies. Despite Gwen’s distaste for whatever "the sheep" are fond of, she does desire to be welcomed by the popular crowd.

Cody has curvy brown hair with teal eyes. Cody is a flirtatious, tech-savvy geek who sees himself as a ladies' man instead of a geeky nerd. Cody is an 18-year-old. Cody joined the show to be with the "cool" kids; his kind, or so he thinks. Cody’s self-named "manly charms" and "smooth moves" are famously not so smooth, failing him around the other contestants. Cody's usual tactic of getting women involves him using pick-up lines that sound irresistible to him, but irritating to everyone else. Most of the girls Cody flirts with usually end up annoyed or amused. Cody likes to think that he is the "cool guy," but his biographies suggest that he is very intelligent when he's not being perverted. It is highly suggested through Cody's huge crush on Gwen, once he becomes truly interested in someone, he will be loyal and will do whatever it takes to make them happy - even giving them up to another person. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Geoff: Geoff is a bulky six-foot-three 206-pound White-Canadian with short blond hair and Dodger Blue eyes.

Geoff is an 18-year-old. Geoff may not be the smartest contestant in the bunch, but he has a positive attitude, loves people, and is always up for any challenge Chris has in store. Geoff has a habit of addressing people as "dude" or "bro/brah," depending on their specific gender. Geoff is extremely fun-loving, believing that life is temporary and if someone doesn't stop and have an epic party every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, they're going to regret it. Geoff's big heart doesn't exclude even the most recluded. However, if Geoff is given enough motivation, he won't hesitate to pay other people back for their transgressions against him. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Bridgette: Bridgette is a five-foot-nine 147-pound Australian-Canadian with blonde hair tied back in a ponytail and has fairly tanned skin with olive green eyes.

Bridgette believes in building bridges, not walls, even when the competition does not favour it as a beneficial aspect. Through Bridgette's spirit and determination, she always reaches her goal, whether it is getting her team to unite or anything else she sets her mind to. Bridgette commonly shows disapproval of unnecessary violence. Bridgette cannot stay mad at someone for decently long, at most holding a "six-minute" grudge against someone. —————————————————————————————————————————————— Duncan: Duncan is a five-foot-nine 178-pound White-Canadian with a unibrow, along with teal ear and nose piercings, and black and lime green hair styled into a mohawk with sparkling teal eyes.

Duncan knows tactics from his time spent in juvenile detention centres. Duncan has a sarcastic, obnoxious, and flirtatious character, always flirting with Heather despite his apparent revulsion of her and ridiculing Courtney. Duncan also gives Courtney the pet name "Princess" to tease her. Duncan loves to break rules whenever it benefits him. However, sometimes the consequences are worse than what he intended. Duncan also loves to make fun of the other contestants on the show and pull several pranks on them, with Harold being his main victim. Duncan considers himself to be straight with people, rather than pretending to be someone that he is not. This habit of being “straight with people” has resulted in Duncan creating fierce enemies and friends among his fellow competitors. Despite Duncan’s mean attitude and demeanour, Duncan is secretly a good person at heart, although he will never admit it to anyone else. As a way to express his feelings for a girl Duncan likes, he will use his knife to either carve her name, her face, or protect her during challenges. Duncan is more of an anti-hero than a villainous character.

The host of Total Drama Island, a Deadly Game, Chris has 22 teens sign up for his game, having the campers endure humiliating challenges. This is the first season of Total Drama Island, which means the contestants haven’t met each other and this is the first time the show has been on air. Total Drama Island is reimagined as such; the eliminated contestants are sent home unless they have a Chris idol with them. The challenges and their hazards are less realistic and the cartoonish elements have been greatly increased in the show. All of the canon series' Amusing Injuries is played for laughs here. The challenges are demeaning, cartoonish, and gory. Challenges are never reused, they become baroque as the story progresses. The challenges also pose heavy dangers to the campers, and a handful of them are likely to get severely mentally and/or physically hurt during them.
