User blog:DJ Spenstar/Spenstar Rates The Cast -- of Total Drama Tropics!! =D

Before we begin, I have some news about Total Drama Infinity, being conceited as I am. There will be no chapter Saturday morning like usual, but I will post one sometime this weekend.

I've never rated characters in a story here before, and my opinions here can (and most likely will) change as time passes, but here are my ratings of characters for Total Drama Tropics. I will only be rating the characters still in the game as of Chapter 4

17. Dante -- ''Sure, he seemed cool at first. He gave me the Duncan vibe, and I liked Duncan, especially since TDA didn't TDA him. (xD) However, my opinion of him steadily decreased through every chapter, when he got a prize that Logan deserved, called Audrey II a freak, threw a challenge to get Hey Won eliminated, ruined Isiah completely, tricked Sebastian into losing, stole Emmy from Isiah and is most likely using her, and finally, embarrassing Frederick. There are most likely others, but that's all I care to list/remember at this moment. xD But you get the point, Dante is an @$$hole through and through. This worries me, as Sprink has never done this before, which could imply victory for the undeserving Dante. Even though I named him, and guessed him to win, I hope that does not happen, as Dante is just a giant jerk. He reminds me of the kids I go to school with. Sprink, I read to escape, LOL.''

16: Janice and Violet -- ''While I find Violet funny, and I like the semi-deranged characters like Janice, I rank this two-in-one so low because of a resemblance to TWO of my own characters, one of them who almost cost me Sprink's readership. The first said character is the two-in-one pair, Richard and Seto. If Janice/Violet is inspired from this team, then I'm greatly flattered to the point that I might raise her ranking, but there was another two-in-one in my story. Alyssa, who was guided by the "voice" of her father, might also be the metaphorical parent of this strange team. Of course, a dummy has nothing to do with the forbidden word that Sprink so detests, (I'm afraid that I might offend the guy if I say it) but it feels like Violet is not a part of Janice, but an entirely different personality, just like Alyssa's delusions. I wouldn't be offended like this if it was anyone else using this team, but Sprink doing it is like him spitting in MY face and saying "you can't do it, but I can." Sprink, please correct me if I am wrong, but it comes off that way.''

15. Willow -- ''Unlike Dante, Willow gave a bad first impression. Her image represented a crybaby, as did her personality, the kind of person who would really irritate me in "real life". Willow has a somewhat minor role in TDT, and Sprink hasn't done anything yet to reverse my opinion of her. Willow's swooning over Beau dosn't help, either. Willow seems like the kind of girl who would be an early out, like Lee, Bulldog, and iRene. I mention iRene because while she gave that vibe, she got runner-up, which worries me in regards to Willow. I wouldn't want a crybaby in the finals, but on the bright side, everybody left (except maybe Yancy) could beat her in a final challenge, which is what Sprink has been using so far.''

14: Frederick -- ''The problem with characters like Frederick is that those who don't feel his pain would find him annoying. This is me here. While I understand that Frederick would hate people that only like him for his money, he seems a little whiny, and I don't take too kindly to the depressed kind like he is. He also reminds me a little too much of Reginald, a previous Sprink character, who I never liked too much. This, however, means that Fredrick's likelihood of making it far in this game is slim to none, which is a giant relief for me.''

13: Pasty -- ''See Willow and Dante, but to a far lesser extent. My first impression with Pasty was a good one. I too sometimes narrate my own life, but I only do it when nobody else is around, and I do it in the first person, LOL. In practice, Pasty comes off as conceited and annoying. The good news is that she will never, ever use the confessional with this personality, LOL. I fear that Pasty has a real disorder that causes her strange behavior, and is part of the big, dark issue Sprink spoke of. If I can ever get past her narration, I bet I'll see a decent character that deserves a higher character, as such is the way of Sprinklemist, but for now, she's stuck with unlucky number 13. xD''

12: Emmy -- ''Emmy, the former child star. Her bio somewhat reminds me of a sitcom that I will never, ever mention or have anything to do with. Aside from that, there's not much I can say about Emmy, except that she's better than those I ranked lower and not as good as those who ranked higher than her.''

11: Al -- ''Now we move on to the characters that I'm fond of, starting with good ol' Al. This is the point where I find it difficult to place characters in comparison with each other. Al's "relaxed" way of talking comes off as slightly annoying, which is why he's behind the other 11 TDT characters I like. However, Al is a great character. He's nice, caring, and relaxed. He gives me the TDI Geoff vibe, which I like. He's also very funny, and I can sympathize with his bio.''

10: Logan -- ''Logan is the character that I will never, ever relate to, unless you could my early days on the wiki. In the beginning, I think that Sprink made Logan TOO ignored for it to be realistic, but that changed when Sebastian started to notice him and recognize his talents. But Logan's no Angelo in disguise, a realistic trait that lands him above Al. Anyone else would just say "meh" here and move on, which would prove Logan's ignored-ness among readers, but I'm not them. Personally I'd be dissatisfied with a "meh" for my character on a rate like this, so... wait, what was I talking about? LOL''

9: Sky Lyn -- ''Sky Lyn is unique, one of a kind; I've never seen anything like her outside of RPs and the non-canon Chatango. Her friendship with animals is interesting to say the least, and it reminds me of Elpheba from the book and musical Wicked, with her devotion to sentient Animals. This is a major plus, as I love that book, and I love that play. (But this is unintentional on Sprink's part, trust me) The bad news is, it seems completely unrealistic, and it almost, seems as if she's using the animals to her own advantage. Dante takes suspicion off of her, though. Overall, I find Sky Lin intriguing and fun to read about, but she is a character who lacks the epic factor of those above her.''

8: Topher -- ''Topher is a character that I'd like to see more of, and I obviously will have my wish granted, if what Sprink said on the talk page of TDR means anything. Topher's bio pretty much screams "major character" and I think Chris might cheat to keep his nephew in the game. In context, I'm glad that being related to Chris isn't all of what Topher is all about. I also hope he ends up with Emmy in the end. He deserves her! :)

7: Marguerite -- ''When Sprink labels a character something as vague and stereotypical as "The French Girl," you know you need to watch out for that character. It doesn't hurt that the very first thing Sprink tells us of her is that her mother died two years ago. In Sprinklemist terms, this is a recipe for stereotype-breaking potential. I haven't quite seen it yet, but I get a good vibe from Marguerite, and I like her paired with Sebastian. What I don't like is her name, it's giving me troubles the same way Tsuyoshi's did. But that's just nitpicking at an inevitably epic character.''

6: Beau -- ''If any given Justin-style antagonist (Jocelyn, Luciana, Bocaj's portrayal of Justin) were to lose his/her villainous nature, you'd get Beau. The ladies are swooning over him and falling hard over him, but the man just doesn’t want it. You can tell that he's working on suppressing his naturally flirty nature, a sign of determination in the face of lust. I really respect Beau for this, and I hope he gets the girl that was mentioned in his profile in the end. I feel bad for him, but I can't relate, no matter how much I wish I could, xD''

5: Creigh -- ''I'm usually fond of this type of character. He shares a label with one of my own, which adds to his epicness. Creigh is the kind of person I would love to know in real life, and in practice, he's a great character at heart. His prosthetic leg, I'm not going to lie, is what got him ahead of Beau and Marguerite, because no character before ever had that kind of condition. He gives me good energy, good vibes, which I really like. And he wears Cyan. Can't complain! xD''

4: Renee -- ''Renee is a personal favorite, simply because she reminds me so much of the aforementioned Elpheba from Wicked. She's a nice girl, sweet, cheerful, and shy. However, others take her the wrong way, and are scared of her because of her looks (similar to Elpheba's green skin) and her actions, which are taken the wrong way. I really hope the others come to understand Renee eventually, and that she doesn't get melted like Elpheba did, xD (to those of you who don't know, Wicked is the story of The Wizard of Oz from the Wicked Witch of the West's perspective. There's a lot of back-story, and the witch's name is, Elpheba.)''

3: Yancy -- ''Yancy is another personal favorite, and I think I'm the first to place him so high. The reason why I do is because up until very recently, I felt his pain and longing for someone to connect with on the deep level that couples share. However, in context, Yancy didn't tug on my heartstrings, but my funny bone! Yancy is hilarious! He gave me the Cody vibe in chapter one, and from then on in, said all sorts of funny things. There, I said it, his pain is my amusement. But it's great joy to read for Yancy! His name and his soul patch don't hurt either, xD I really hope he gets far, just so I can enjoy him the most I can! =D''

2: Audrey II -- ''Audrey II really hits home for me in two different ways, one far more major than the other. I must admit, my first impression with her was one of disappointment, because she was awkward, and was named Audrey. It brings me back to when everybody was whining over the elimination of the original Audrey, a shallow character that I never liked. This caused me to hate her. Then I read that Audrey II had Asperger's Syndrome, and Sprink, I thank you so much for that. I have Asperger's Syndrome myself, and you and Audrey II made me comfortable with saying it on the wiki. I trust that you'll portray her fine, and so far, you have! Audrey II is funny and just a tad awkward. She's also smart, and as far as I know, quickly grasps lingo that she didn't know before. I'm proud of her, I'm proud of Sprink, and I hope Audrey II makes it to the end.''

1: Sebastian -- ''Irony comes to mind here. This is a story where Sprinklemist created many great characters, but the one that is my favorite is the one that Sprink didn't make. Nope! Sebastian, the analyst, came from the mind of an awesome user and commentator, The Anonymous User. As I have said before, his character is epic win and so is he. Sebastian is a strategist, which I like. I always liked the strategic and smart types. He speaks three languages, including Japanese, which is pure awesome. I like him paired with Marguerite, they make such a cool couple! His image is really cool as well, his shades give him the whole "mysterious smart guy" look. Sebastian gives me the protagonist-antihero vibe, which is what I get from my favorite character on the whole wiki, Niles! Through and through, Sebastian is awesome and epic, and I really hope he wins! However, he probably won't win, as he is similar in many ways to Tsuyoshi, the winner of Sprink's previous season. Still, TAU and I can hope! =D''

That concludes my Total Drama Tropics character rate. I hope you enjoyed it! =DDD Spenstar out! -- D J   Spen  star!  23:57, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
