[The somewhat grainy recording opens up with a troll’s face nearly taking up the entire frame. He affixes the camera with an extraordinarily intense stare for a few seconds before backing up a bit, revealing a hulking frame and bandages wound snugly about his thick neck. The hive block he’s in is sparsely decorated and somewhat small, with the only notable fixture being a small shrine situated beneath a pair of pistols mounted upon the wall. The large troll takes a deep breath before speaking, never blinking.] "My name is Ikriom Trecal and this is my audition tape for Total Drama Island. If you seek unrelenting brutality and tenacity to enthrall and entertain, then look now further. I will claw and rend my way to the apex of this competition." [The troll takes a deep breath, swallowing thickly.] "I have long been inspired by the stories of the revolutionaries of old Alternia and the exploits of the legendary Page of Hope. This will be my inaugural journey into the blinding realm of reality entertainment. There I shall demonstrate the visceral clarity of purpose that will blaze my path to the summit of victory. And there I shall etch my name into the annals of history just as the fighters preceding me have." [The troll reaches for something off-screen, never taking his eyes off the camera. He reveals the object, a collection of what appears to be dried-out fins, mostly drained of color and retaining only a pale shade of violet around their ragged bases. A few piercings glint in a couple.] "Mementos of my choicest targets. Assignments I was fortunate enough to land. For as long as they live they will never forget that which pursued them, subdued them, maimed them. To remind them that they, just as the all the other castes, are mortal. I wish to remind all abyss-whispers of this fact. As they sit in their lavish hives and engage in their ostentatious galas and peddle their filth on social media. What can just as easily befall them at any given moment." [He sets the fins down and retrieves something else, a few tiny, meticulously-crafted glass sculptures of various lusii. He’s still staring.] "I would also like to share my art with others. I believe my skill in working with glass to be top-notch and I would enjoy creating more sculptures for others. Victory may open up considerable opportunities in that regard." [He sets the sculptures down and leans back in. Still staring, but grinning now and displaying rows of sharp teeth.] "This is my audition. I await the trials of the island and its dramatic totality." [The video ends.] @starPower @gutsyGumshoe
