User blog:Owenandheatherfan/The Official Total Drama Character Competition of 2015: Phase 1 - Dawn vs. Tyler

Welcome to the Official Total Drama Character Competition of 2015! I had this idea two years ago, and I did four rounds before giving up. With the start of Reality Realized, and since lots of us are on summer vacation, I figure this is the best time to begin again. In this competition, all 52 contestants who have competed in the six seasons -- Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action, Total Drama World Tour, Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, Total Drama: All-Stars, and Total Drama: Pahkitew Island -- will be paired up against each other, and it is your job to vote in the comments on who you think is the better character. Unlike last time, the match-ups are completely random. I used a list generator and entered in every contestant. Whoever has the most votes will advance to the next round; until only 1 is left. This week, we have Dawn (Total Drama: Revenge of the Island) vs. Tyler (Total Drama Island, Total Drama: World Tour). Please vote in the comments below.

Dawn, labeled The Moonchild, is a mysterious nature lover who wants to use the prize money to help Mother Earth. She is able to communicate with all kinds of animals, mutated or not, who take a strong liking to her. She is frequently seen meditating and reads her tea leaves presumably every morning. Dawn is also well-known for having the ability to read people's auras. In fact, her first line in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island is her telling B his is "exceptionally purplish-green." It is likely through this skill that she is one of only two people to figure out Mike's disorder without having to be told. Among this, Dawn also shows signs of having other supernatural powers. In Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!, Chris blows up the boat she and other new contestants are on, forcing them into the water. Not only does she arrive at the beach first, but completely dry, which baffles Jo. Dawn states that she can predict people's futures, later in the season proving correct. She ends up foretelling the unfortunate fate of another player. Beyond her unconventional characteristics, Dawn appears to be kindhearted and very helpful, although she comes across as creepy to the others.

Tyler, labeled The Jock, is a sports fan who loves anything involving physical activity. Unfortunately, he is exceedingly clumsy and would be much better off watching from the sidelines. His lack of coordination has a tendency to harm other contestants and himself, but his determination leads him to never back down from trying to be a strong competitor. While he may lack prowess, he is fast, can jump high enough to touch the rim of a basketball hoop, and has abnormally strong fingers. Tyler can be very dim at times, such as in Broadway, Baby! when Noah tells him to make a mental note, to which he replies that he doesn't have a pen. Despite his faults, he has a heart of gold and is enthusiastic about everything he does. Along with being popular with his peers at home, Tyler expresses deep love for his girlfriend, Lindsay. He is hurt more by nothing else than her habit of forgetting who he is, but regardless his loyalty towards her never wavers.

Though not required, please leave a reason when you vote. If you disagree with someone, do not be afraid to debate with that person in the comments, as long as it is respectful and rational. This competition is supposed to inspire discussion and debates, not just find out which character you like more.
