(A/N) okay, I was going to wait until I was done with Total Drama Dynamite to do this but I just couldnt wait any longer. Ive had the app ready for at least a month and the ideas are just building up in my head. For those of you who read Total Drama Dynamite, dont worry Im still writing it (I actually have the next chapter half done) and I have no intention of abandoning that story... However, fans of A Tale of Two Times and The Island will be disapointed to know that Im putting those stories on Hiatus until I get Total Drama Dynamite down to the final five. Sorry.
With that out of the way say hello to Ojex XIII's Total Drama Heroes!
Total Drama Heroes
Chris eyed the papers in his hand carefully, meticulously looking over every detail of the pitch for the new season of Total Drama. The idea was very, very far out there and at first Chris had thought it was a bad joke. But the new producer, as well as the new CEO of the entire studio, assured him that it was no joke and had some very convincing proof that he was completely serious about the premise of the new season. Chris was kind of nervous around the new CEO. For the most part Chris could do pretty much what he wanted with the previous seasons, as none of the other producers nor the old CEO actually had the stones to stand up to him. But there was something about the new CEO that put Chris on edge. The position had been passed onto him when his predecessor passed away of a sudden heart attack and gave him the job in his Will. While a fair man, the new CEO was very assertive and made it clear that he could pull the plug on Total Drama at any time. Chris and the other producers really had no choice but to bend to his will, but it was worth it as this new idea was nothing short of genius.
Chris laid the papers down on the table in front of his and folded his arms, looking down the long length of the table to Hugh Donavon, the new CEO of the studio, at its head. The other dozen producers sat along the tables sides, eagerly awaiting Chris's reaction to the pitch. "Superheroes." Chris said flatly. "You want to make a reality show about superheroes."
"You have objections?" Donavon questioned. "I have already proven to you first hand that superhuman abilities are anything but science fiction."
"No, no!" Chris replied. "The pitch is solid and the little demonstration your friend gave was simply, well, unbelievable to be put bluntly. I'm more than convinced, but I have trouble believing that the public will buy this. Things like this have been limited to comic books and movies until now. Don't you think the general audience will just think it's a scripted reality show with CGI everywhere you turn?"
Donavon just laughed. "An excellent point, but I must argue." He replied. "I have seen people with minor mental handicaps determine the difference between reality and CGI. The public is not stupid, Mr. McClain, just misinformed and ignorant. I want to bring to them the knowledge that super humans are very real. And if I happen to make a profit while doing it, well, happy birthday to me."
Chris nodded as a grin crept its way onto his face. "I'm in." he said. "I just have one request."
"And what would that be?"
Chris leaned in over the table. "I want a costume."
Donavon chuckled at the idea. "How does one for each episode sound?"
Ladies and gentlemen it is time for Ojex XIII's TOTAL DRAMA HEROES! Please read the rules and suggestions before filling out your application, thank you. I'm wanting exactly 16 contestants, so I'll only be accepting 8 girls and 7 guys. PLEASE PM ME YOUR APP. I want to keep the characters I choose secret and I want to save the reviews for the story. Also, please note that this story is not in continuity with Total Drama Dynamite.
Rules & Suggestions
Be diverse – be realistic people, superpowers aren't going to manifest in 16 white Americans/Canadians. If a rarity of superpowers actually manifested in people, these individuals would likely be spread all over the world and be very diverse. Now normally this wouldn't be an issue, but with this story I'm stressing it. Come up with a character from Iran, India, Morocco, or Brazil or something. There are more countries than just the US, Canada, and Japan you know. (These words go for stereotypes too).
Be realistic – Here I'm talking specifically about your characters powers. You're limited to three (please note that listing enhanced abilities will give you enhanced agility, stamina, durability, and minimally enhanced strength (not super strength)) ,and, before you choose three powers at random and slap them on your character, think about what powers you choose. I'm not going to inhibit your creativity, but there are some power combinations that will just never happen unless you've got the insane power set of Superman, which isn't happening in this story. So think about what powers go together and what ones have no business going together please.
At the same time, think outside of the box – there are a lot of different superpowers out there, so many, in fact, that I doubt I even know them all. I'm going to provide a link at the bottom of the page to a list of super human features on wikipedia if anyone needs help. Also, you can opt to have your character not have any powers at all. They can just be an insanely skilled bad ass like Batman or have some seriously cool tech like Iron Man.
Be creative – Here I'm talking specifically about a characters origin story. I've read a few TDI superhero stories and for some reason a lot of the characters have the same, boring, mundane origin story (chemical plant explosion, random manifestation, blah blah blah (I'm not saying you can't use these, but there are other options)). Some people don't understand the wide range of ways powers can be obtained. For example, Wolverine had his healing powers and enhanced senses from a genetic mutation and he got his claws from a heinous experiment; superman is an alien; Thor (soon to get his own movie, btw) is a god; Iron Man made his first suit to save his own ass; and batman is just a bad ass whose out to eliminate crime. You get my point.
At the same time, no too creative – There is a fine line between being creative and being ridiculous. Not really going to go into detail about this, just think before you leap.
And as usual – no relatives of characters from the show, be descriptive and realistic, and sorry, vampires, werewolves, and the like are not allowed (though I suppose a werewolf could be acceptable through shapeshifting)

Anything else –
My Character
Basic Info
Name – Jax
Nickname/Hero or villain name – N/A
Age – 17
Gender – Male
Stereotype – the free spirited drifter
Nationality – none, seeing as how he's not from earth
Appearance
Hair – Jet-black, rather shaggy and unkempt, a little greasy
Eyes – emerald green
Body type – muscular but not overly buff
Clothing – a pair of somewhat ripped jeans, a tattered zip-up green hoodie which is always unzipped and has no shirt underneath, and a pair of worn out black tennis shoes
Swimsuit – just takes his shirt off
Pajamas – again, just takes his shirt off
Other – he has a few small but noticeable scars on his arms and legs and he wears a thin chain-link necklace with an eagle shaped pendant
Personal
Personality – Jax is a very carefreeperson. With no legal or personal ties to any nation or person he has virtually no responsibilities and can basically do what he wants. He is very kind, often going out of his way to save someone in danger or just stopping to help someone who is struggling with something, but at the same time he's not above doing what is necessary for his own survival (he's been known to steal food on occasions). He is also very humorous, often using sarcasm and he's not above insulting someone for a good joke. He also considers himself a bit of a ladies man, though said ladies would argue.
Likes – the ultimate pleasure in his life is just spreading his wings and going flying. He also has a very obvious liking for pretty girls and he can't resist a good challenge.
Dislikes – he greatly dislikes people who think too highly of themselves (something he disliked about other angels, but he is also guilty of just in a different way) and he finds beds very uncomfortable, preferring to sleep in trees, the rafters of barns, or on roofs instead (he'll ride the couch if he has too). He also has a thing against airplanes (bad experience early in his days on earth).
Phobias – his biggest fear is the other angels coming to hunt him down and deeming him unworthy of his wings, taking them from him
Pet Peeves – people pulling at or messing with his wings because they think they're fake
Talents – he seems to have a talent for sneaking up on people and he's also quite the athlete
Weakness – while he's in no hurry to return to the Heavens, he does get irritated when reminded that the other angels deemed him unworthy of being one of them
Family & Friends – no family to speak of and though he's made several friends in his travels none are really worth mentioning
History – Jax was once a powerful angel who resided in the heavens (not the heaven of any specific religion) with others of his kind. However, Jax was cast out of the heavens for his arrogance and pride, being cast down to earth, being stripped of his angelic powers except for his wings, until he is able to learn humility. Now Jax travels the world living a carefree lifestyle and helping people in need along the way, and is in no hurry to return to the Heavens.
Religion – despite what some might consider a religious background, I'm going to go ahead and say he doesn't have a religion (and I'm not saying he's an atheist either, he just doesn't have a religion)
Paired up? – if I answer this I'll be giving too much away about the story, considering I am the author
Sexuality – straight
What kind of person would they be interested in? – He'd be interested in someone who's just as adventurous and free spirited as his is, probably someone with similar powers too. He does have a thing for women who wear glasses.
Powers
Powers – Has a pair of wings on his back that allow him to fly at near sonic speed and enhanced abilities
Power Weakness – while he can fly extremely fast, he can only do so for a short time before his wings tire out. Basically the faster he flies the less time he can fly
What Actual superhero would you say most resembles your character? – As far as powers go he's very similar to Angel from X-Men or Hawkman from Justice League, but I think his character is close to Thor (because he was cast out of his home world to earth for his arrogance)
