Total Drama The Gang War!
Another post about some information about my AU. Just presenting the main AU plots so that it is much easier to understand.
Mike: One of the AU protagonists, Mike is the leader of The Kings Gang, he is a happy guy but if he is taken seriously he becomes someone serious and cold. He was kicked out of The V's Gang a few years ago, but he’s not sure what happened, he had no idea he was even in a Gang and when he realized he was soon expelled. Mike continues to have his Multiple personalities, but nobody knows it, not even the Gang members themselves, well except Cameron. He smokes, it's a way for him to de-stress. No one under any circumstances, either strangers or even members of his or other gangs should call him by his name, only by King or leader; Once a former gang member (you may already know who he is) dared to call him Michael, he ended up with his arm dislocated. He is very good at fighting, many think he is not so good because he is so thin, but Mike is not just skin and bones and that is why he shut up many who doubt his punching skills. He has a great rivalry with Alejandro because of things past. Mike has a crush on a girl who lives close to his territory, he literally becomes a goofball when he sees her but nobody knows even Cameron, he is afraid that if the gangs know (especially the V's) they will try to use her to get what you want with The Kings; what is the name of this girl again? Ah! Yes ... Zoey.
Zoey: Another one of the protagonists of this story. Zoey is a nice girl who lives on the outskirts of the city, near an abandoned amusement park. She works in a cafeteria as a waitress. Of course, a beautiful girl like her, it is very common for her to be sung by clients and sometimes even harassed, but when that happens, even if she doesn't want to, she gives a beating in the pervert. She is an only child and still lives with her parents in a not very large and even poorly maintained apartment. Your parents ... Well how can I describe them? They are the types of parents who ended up getting pregnant in their teens by accident and now don't give a damn about their daughter. Her father is an unemployed person who spends all day on the couch watching TV drinking beer and ... she almost never sees her mother at home since she hangs out a lot with her friends to drink in bars (she suspects she has already cheated on her father several times, but she’s not sure). Zoey is extremely anxious to always think that she is not doing enough, and that if she ever does enough, her parents will finally give her the attention she always wanted. She sometimes likes to stand at her bedroom window watching a Gang that is always in her neighborhood, there was even a time when one of the Gang members realized that she was looking at them and she in an act of desperation simply threw herself on the floor. and closed the window, a very funny scene; but with this event she never forgot the face of the boy who noticed his presence, a tall guy with tanned skin and spiky hair; she thought he was really cute.
Ennui: A tall guy with a lot of makeup. Being part of The Kings Gang, Ennui is a guy of few words and very intimidating, he is always accompanying with a rabbit called Loki that usually stays on his head, shoulder or inside his shirt. He hardly has a relationship with the other members of the Gang, so not much is known about his personality, but what everyone is sure he likes is dark things and hardcore metal. A supreme secret he carries is that he dates a girl from another Gang (which is extremely forbidden) and keeps it a secret from everyone for fear of losing her.
Crimson: She is a short girl, but is in the middle for wearing big boots. She is one of the leaders of Night Furies. She grew up on a farm in another distant city but moved when she turned 14 to Wawanakwa. She is a goth girl who wears a lot of makeup, and no one has ever seen her real look. She doesn't speak very, very quiet and intimidating. She secretly dates Ennui and fears that someone might discover and separate them. One more of his secrets is that his brother is part of a large and rival Gang, but his brother never knew it was her because his appearance is very different. She has a great friendship with Jasmine who is the only one who knows about her courtship with Ennui.
Jasmine: She is the founder of the Night Furies. A good-looking girl, with a strong and courageous personality, but normally that is not what catches everyone's attention, what she does is the size of her stature that easily exceeds 1'80. Always wearing a hat, she is a great leader, always caring for her members and helping them as needed, but even though she is very friendly she does not show much pity with those who dare to face her. Her main friends are: Crimson, Sammy, Kitty, Emma, Lewshana and Sanders, who are usually the ones Jasmine takes to solve more private matters. Sometimes she likes to see the members of The Kings because she finds some of them very cute, especially one who is always wearing a cap and nervous as if an apocalypse was going to happen.
Cody: The leader of The Tornados, he is a boy disgusted with his life. He usually likes to invade territories of other gangs to flirt with girls. He was kicked out by Mike of The Kings for his little commitment to the Gang, flirting with girls from other Gangs, disrespecting some members of the Gang (including the Leader), not following the rules, etc. After being expelled he revolted and decided to create his own gang so that he could do whatever he wanted without anyone scolding him. But he still feels like he wants to show that he can be better and wants to show that he is worthy to become part of The Kings again.
Alejandro: One of the leaders of The V's, Alejandro is usually the one who solves everything in the conversation, but if he is not patient he does not mind killing some people. Usually in the presence of Heather with someone who is in a relationship, say ... Bad. He already cheated on her and he doesn't regret it, obviously she doesn't know, and he intends to leave it like that for a long time, since Heather's participation in business is incredibly important and if she broke up with Alejandro and consequently left the Gang, everything would be lost. It seems that at the moment everything is working out for Alejandro because Heather doesn't even suspect anything and no gang member doesn't know about their actions, nobody except Mike.
Total Drama The Gang War!
After 2 months without any news about AU I am here again! Well, the reason for the delay was not because of laziness (ok ... maybe a little) but because I finally assembled the main information to understand what is happening. With each update I will probably give more information about the characters themselves but for now this will be the only information in the story that I will give:
Nothing related to the Show happened at this AU.
Wawanakwa is the name given to the fictional city where the story will take place.
Each Gang has between 3 and 4 or at most 5 leaders or bosses who command it.
This AU contains violence, profanity, blood, mental abuse, physical abuse, torture, sexual harassment, drugs, alcoholic beverages and deaths.
As that said let's start with the main gang:
The Kings: Being the 3rd Gang with the most members, all of whom are men, The Kings is composed of 17 members and is considered the most organized Wawanakwa Gang, always looking for more rational than physical ways of solving their problems, but if physical involvement is necessary, they most often do well because of their skills combat. Its territory is in the city's famous abandoned amusement park, mainly in a castle that was the park's main attraction (hence the name The Kings). Their look consists of black and red jackets with a crown symbol on the chest, leaders wear a black tank top underneath while ordinary members wear white tank tops, plain jeans and black all star shoes. It was founded by Mike after being kicked out of The V's which is constantly attacked by them.
The V's: Being the second Gang with the most members, The V's or V's (being the nickname for Villains) is made up of 19 members, and it can be said to be the "most" powerful gang in Wawanakwa. It contains the most dangerous members of the entire city, consisting of thieves, murderers and cold handlers. It emerged a few years before The Kings, and was founded by Heather and Alejandro who are one of the four leaders. Jacques and Josee are the other two who lead the Gang. Their robes are based on black tuxedos with ties for boys and red party dresses for girls, the leaders wear the same being the only difference is that instead of ordinary ties, they wear bow ties, and the party dresses are black. Its territory is in the huge abandoned cinema in the center of the city, a well-kept place for something abandoned to tell the truth. An interesting fact is that there was a fifth leader in The V's but nobody knows who he was or what happened to him, nobody except the leaders.
Night Furies: Being the only Gang that everyone is a girl, Night Furies is a gang composed of 16 members, being its leaders, Courtney, Jasmine and Crimson. They live in the suburbs of the city, specifically in the largest building in their territory. They usually carry out their vandalism and robberies at night so that they don't get too much attention, it is very common that they get into fights with the boys of other gangs because many of them harass them. Their outfits are based on black mini jackets, with white tank tops for ordinary members and the leading black tank tops, black ripped jeans, and black high boots.
The Tornados: This Gang is made up of 14 members, it was founded by Cody after being expelled from The Kings for lack of commitment to the Gang and for being in a lot of trouble with the Night Furies, let's say that none of them liked it when Cody invaded their territory to be flirting with them. Not much is known about this gang since it is the most avoiding confusion, we only know what was said by the people of the city. Its territory is in an industrial factory abandoned for decades. Their outfits are for boys in gray blouses with a big tornado symbol on the back, and black jeans with gray shoes; For girls they are black women's blouses with the same symbol on the back, gray jeans and black boots.
The beasts: Being the smallest gang of all, with only 9 members. The beasts are considered the weakest and most cowardly gang of all, they suck when they fight or they just give up and run away. Their leader is Ezequiel (no surprise?) He made Gang because none of the others accepted him to join them. It is made up of people who were in the same situation as Zeke. Its territory is inside the city, in an abandoned Motel. Their dresses are simple, black blouses with red details on them, with jeans and gray shoes for boys; for girls they are black and pink jackets, black jeans and pink boots. She is constantly mocked by the other gangs and even nicknamed The Bitches.
The bosses: The biggest Gang in the city, with its incredible 7000 members, its leaders are Chris McLean, Chef Hatchet and Don. They are responsible for not letting any Gang get powerful enough to be able to fight them. The leaders' outfits are blue jackets and black shoes; As for the rest of the Gang, they wear simple clothes, red T-shirts (some vary with red blouses), khaki pants and blue shoes. Well its territory is in a huge Hotel in the center of the big city. In the past there was 1 more leader in the Gang but she was expelled from her for reasons of power.
Hi! Eh ... I really don't know if this is going to become some kind of frame that I can make here on my blog, maybe bringing it 1 or maybe 2 times a week. Well, in short it will be about how I see a certain total drama character, containing my opinions, and how I see this character in general. Well I hope you like it.
Perspectives #1
ok, for the first "Perspectives" I wanted to bring one of my favorite characters from the total drama, Mike! Mike, a character well liked by half of Total drama fandom and very hated by the other half, but why is he so hated? I had this question a few months ago, but it was only this month that I wanted to know why. According to many, Mike is an irritating character, a crybaby, a coward, and so on; I already expected people to call him like that, well, if the person doesn't like him it is obvious that he will say things like that, but ... The more I searched, the more I found people calling him a monster, freak, saying that he is horrible, that he is the least realistic character ever ... And I was shocked! But it aroused my curiosity about Mike's disorder, and for a few hours I searched for all kinds of information about "MPD", it was a subject that I had never researched before and I was really sad; -; According to experts. "It is considered a complex psychological condition that is probably caused by many factors, including severe trauma during early childhood (usually extreme, repetitive physical, sexual or emotional abuse)." As it is written, "MPD" is usually communicated by a trauma revelation in childhood, either sexual, emotional or physical; reading some more I found out a little more about the disorder "When going through these situations, children must develop other personalities in order to defend themselves from this harmful exposure. These characters act as objects of self-defense for times of pain and anguish." I even saw that one person can develop up to 23 different personalities; But why am I saying all this? Well, obviously it is because of Mike's inconvenience, but is it that after saying all this, Mike is still a crybaby, a coward, a monster? Let's see that we can assume that each Mike personality means something to Mike.
Chester: Chester may be just a grumpy old man, but let's see better; Chester can be that grandmother who always tells his stories about war and stuff; I see a fatherly vision in him; something that Mike has always wanted.
Svetlana: He's like an older sister, more impatient than he cares about those who are by his side. Again what Mike always wanted.
Vito: Maybe a tough guy with a lot of self-esteem who always wins fights and always stays with the most beautiful girls. Perhaps the kind of guy Mike has always admired.
Manitoba: An adventurer who likes to get in trouble in his adventures, a brave guy, without any fear. Maybe Mike could never have been the kind of guy like Manitoba, the kind of guy that everyone admires.
Is well...
Mal: Mal was the most complicated personality for me to discover, but I think I did it. It could hardly have been created for the same purpose as Vito and Manitoba, to protect Mike in the most physical way; He is strong and both physically and mentally, and well, in the beginning he may have cared for Mike but after an incident that made him and Mike stop at the reformatory everything may have changed. It is not an act that Mike locked Mal in his subconscious for years until he returned to All Stars.
This can give a new meaning to everything, there is something that happened to Mike before Total Drama and this is something obvious, but of course the Show wouldn’t bring that to the screen, childhood trauma, sexual, physical and metal abuse, breakdowns and etc., maybe it wouldn't be very well received by parents.
What I'm trying to say with all this is that well ... There are many people who are doing horrible things with a character who suffered an extremely traumatic event in childhood,developed a disorder that needs medical and psychiatric care, takes medication to alleviate his disorder, may behave self-destructive (self-motivation), anxiety and even depression, which because of his disorder has difficulty in socializing, and is even afraid to talk about his disorder because he is afraid of being alone forever; Well when I said incurable many may be confused because at the end of All Stars Mike heals his MPD, well that’s the only thing I hate about Mike’s story, so I don’t really consider it canonical. But some may be wondering why I'm talking about a character that doesn't even exist, simple, every time I decide if I like a character or not I decide to explore more of what was shown to us, I go deeper more in his personality and I want to see him as a real person not just as a fictional character, which is why I consider Mike one of my favorite characters.
it's okay that you don't like Mike, but it's another thing to hate Mike, to be anti Mike.
Well that was the first "Perspective" I hope you liked it -w-
