If you need ideas, here's a character I made for a camp, once.

Apollo is a contestant labeled The Half-Talented Musician.

Apollo was born to a pair of music loving 'free souls', in a small Canadian town on the coast, and named after the Greek god of music. Apollo's parents had a very permissive style of parenting, as Apollo was growing up, letting him make his own choices and learn from any mistakes he made, unless they could have resulted in a serious injury. Despite not wanting to intrude into Apollo's personal life, Apollo's parents did teach him the dangers of drugs and alcohol, so their son would not fall victim to the vice of addiction. Apollo's parents, despite their unending love of music, were sadly born with no musical talent, themselves. However, even though they have a family history of low musical talent, Apollo's father worked many odd jobs in order to save up money in order to purchase his young son a guitar. And so, it was on his tenth birthday that young Apollo was given his first instrument, a gift he has treasured ever since. Apollo was incredibly excited to own his very own guitar, but wanted to surprise his parents, and so, he made sure to practice out of earshot of his mother and father, so they wouldn't hear him until he was ready. Finally, the day arrived, Apollo had chosen his parent's fortieth common-law wedding anniversary. With a heart full of confidence, Apollo began strumming out cords. To his parent's disbelief, their son was wonderful! Near expertly, Apollo played his guitar for his parents, warming their hearts, and crushing their previous fears of Apollo following in their non-musical footsteps. However, their smiles turned to grimaces when young Apollo started singing along, in addition to playing. Apollo's parents love him very much, but even they cannot deny his tone deaf singing voice. Not having the heart to tell their young son he couldn't sing well, Apollo's parents merely clapped and applauded their son's thoughtful gift. They assumed that since he was talented with his guitar, his singing skills would develop with age. Unfortunately for all parties involved, this was not the case. At sixteen, Apollo is often considered 'the next Jimi Hendrix' by those who are blessed enough to hear his wonderful guitar ballads, but 'about as talented as Milli Vanilli' when it comes to singing. Apollo joined the new season of Total Drama in order to spread the wonders of music to a worldwide audience.
