Code Total Drama Reality/Characters

In Code: Total Drama Reality, most of the characters tropes in Total Drama and Code Lyoko are still applied, so please refrain from putting the same character tropes here unless the existing trope is handled differently in the story.

This page is still a work-in-progress. Beware of unmarked spoilers.

Geoff

 * Battle Couple: With Bridgette.

Shadow

 * AI Is a Crapshoot

 * Apologetic Attacker
 * Bishonen: Is assumed as such.
 * Blow You Away
 * Cool Helmet: An eagle helmet; it can even shoot lasers.
 * Evil Counterpart: Kind of stressing on the "evil" part, but he is rather similar to Noah (particularly first season Noah).

 * Blade On a Stick: Fights using a lance.
 * Combat Tentacles
 * The Dragon: To Lyon.
 * Jerkass
 * What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic: As was the case of Seraphim, Nephilim's name also carries Judeo-Christian subtext, referring to the legendary offspring of humans and angels.

Chris McLean

 * Can't Get Away With Nuthin': Can't be as evil as he was the past three seasons if the studio can do anything about it.
 * Kick the Son of A Bitch: Kurt and Carlos are more than happy to. Especially Carlos.

 * Laser-Guided Karma: This season, he finally gets what many think is his comeuppance.

Carlos

 * Badass Normal
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: Very Hot Blooded, once thought of giving his car a funeral, not to mention all the Noodle Incidents... but along with Kurt, he's the campers' best hope of a relatively safe season.
 * Got the Call On Speed Dial: A strange variation in that he doesn't have the phone. To elaborate, Aelita does; for every return to the past, she can use specters from the supercomputer to give them their memories back as a mode of temporary assistance. Nonetheless, he's happy to get some of the action.
 * Henpecked Husband: His wife Melissa is probably the only person who can keep him under control.

 * Papa Wolf: And HOW!

 * Only Sane Man: Carries himself as such.
 * Papa Wolf: Not as much as Carlos, but nontheless fiercely protective of the cast.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Carlos's Red.

Lesley

 * Badass Normal
 * Badass Bookworm: Given that she is a talented prosecution lawyer.
 * Bi the Way: Had a thing with in her school years. Chris was rather amused.

Tropes that apply to all the other characters:

 * Brainwashed and Crazy: All of the Total Drama staff early on due to a XANA scheme. And later, Alejandro.
 * Deal With the Devil: Alejandro; it's even the arc title!
 * Demoted to Extra: Pretty much half of the Total Drama cast who isn't on the Lyoko team; also the original Lyoko gang (and William).
 * Distress Ball: About 60 chapters in, and Aelita still hasn't gotten very close to finding her old friends.
 * Everyone Went to School Together: Carlos, Kurt, and Roberto, thus beginning a history of heavy animosity.
 * Expository Hairstyle Change: Yumi's grown her hair longer after the two-year Time Skip in the beginning.
 * Freudian Excuse: Alejandro.
 * Hidden Depths: Lindsay is revealed to be pretty good at robot making.
 * Lethal Chef: As if the blowfish incident back in Island wasn't bad enough, Lindsay's said to named an arson code back home with her experiences at the oven.
 * Real Men Hate Sugar: Averted with Roberto, who's the more brutish of the side characters.
 * The Sixth Ranger: Up until about chapter 30, the Lyoko group had a pretty conventional Five-Man Band structure. Then came seven more of these guys.
 * Spared by the Fanfic: For once, Ezekiel is not voted off first.
 * Eva also sticks around a lot longer than she did in any of the canon seasons and even becomes one of the Warriors.
 * Unwitting Pawn: Alejandro in the "Deal With the Devil" arc. Can't kill Gwen and Cody? Oh well,
