If "Grom Fest" truly is the final episode of Stoked :( , it'll be up to the fans to carry on the show's legacy and continue the adventures of our favorite groms. I thought up a few ideas while at work for a fanfic I might end up writing. Even though Reef and Fin are back together, I've still got the urge to continue the adventures of our favorite groms!
Introduction[]
The fic would take place the summer after the original Stoked, with all six original groms (Reef, Lo, Emma, Fin, Johnny, Broseph) comng back to work at Surfer's Paradise for the summer. In addition, four new groms would join the "main cast", as well as Martha (the girl from the first two episodes), who I think deserves a bigger role in the series. The fic would still focus mostly on the original six, the new junior staff would take on a role somewhat like the underclassmen in High School Musical 3, they'd be involved in every chapter/"episode", but wouldn't take over the plot and steal the spotlight from the originals (who would now be part of the senior staff).
New Characters[]
Garrett Folsom[]
Garrett's lived in the town of Sunset Beach his whole life and has been a delinquent his entire childhood, spending most of the last couple years in and out of juvie, but when he stole Mr. Ridgemount's car and took it on a joyride through town, he crossed the line! With a judge about to throw the book at him, Mr. Ridgemount came up with a unique solution... he'll agree not to press charges if Garrett works the entire summer at Surfer's Paradise! With one last chance to straighten up and fly right, Garrett is going to have to work the hardest he's ever worked before, or he'll be locked up in juvie until he turns 18!
Physical description: Somewhat tall and muscular (a lot like Reef in body type, maybe a bit taller), with black hair tied back in a ponytail.
Hometown: Sunset Beach, British Columbia
Job at the resort: Gift shop stocker/clerk
Total Drama comparison: Duncan, except a bit more low-key (he's a punk, but he's actively trying to improve himself and he doesn't go around making fun of nerds all the time)
Voice actor: Scott McCord, using a more casual version of his Trent voice.
Intro pose: Leaning forward on his board with a confident smirk on his face.
Charlotte Evanier[]
Captain of her high school cheerleading squad (which won runner-up at nationals), Charlotte is the queen bee of her school and uber-popular. Despite living in Mississauga, more than 2,000 miles from Surfer's Paradise, Charlotte harbors a secret love of surfing (having become VERY good at it during her family's summer vacations in B.C. during her childhood) and begged her parents to be allowed to work at the resort over the summer. She arrives and it's not nearly what it's cracked up to be but she's still determined to have the best summer ever. Still, Charlotte's big challenge is going from the top of the food chain at high school to being the low girl on the totem pole at Surfer's Paradise. Can she overcome the humiliation and become surf champ at Gromfest?
Physical description: Long blonde hair, blue eyes, tall and slender and athletic (like a supermodel, though a bit less freakishly skinny
Hometown: Mississauga, Ontario
Job at the resort: Starts out in the kitchen as a cook, but she's lousy at it and ends up working as a maid under Fin
Total Drama comparison: Courtney, though she ends up going from rather mean and stuck-up to somewhat nice over the course of the series, a reversal of Courtney's season one to season two transformation.
Voice actress: Alexz Johnson, of Instant Star fame.
Intro pose: Rubbing two pompoms together before jumping into the air with them.
Jake Paulsen (aka "Flake")[]
Flake is a somewhat shy, rather dorky kid who came to Surfer's Paradise on the suggestion of his parents, who want him to learn to come out of his shell and be more outgoing. He doesn't know the first thing about surfing but is somewhat eager to learn, even if his shyness makes him rather embarassed at everything. Flake harbors a secret crush on Lo, though his lack of confidence makes him really nervous and almost stuttery when around her. Can Jake come out of his shell and be the confident young man he truly wants to be? And does he have even a tiny chance at winning the girl of his dreams?
Physical description: He's a bit shorter than Garrett but not uber-short like Cody, he's somewhat cute without his glasses and even with them, he has short brown hair and gives the image of being a shrinking violet, someone who could be the real life of the party if he ever learns to come out of his shell.
Hometown: Vancouver, British Columbia
Job at the resort: Information technology technician, working under Johnny
Total Drama Comparison: Cody, though a bit less of a weirdo/stalker.
Voice actor: Andrew Sabiston, using a slightly deeper/mature-sounding version of his Lee (Amazing Spiez) voice.
Intro pose: Stumbling a bit on his board before getting his balance and breathing a sigh of relief.
Catalina Curran (aka "Cat")[]
A girl with a flare for the dramatic, Cat was a big-time participant in her high school drama club and came to Surfer's Paradise seeking to have an ultra-fun rockin' summer. She ended up with her dream job... a gig as the Mistress of the Freaky Tiki Room, a new attraction at Surfer's Paradise where guests are entertained by a live show. Cat's dream gig, however, turns into a nightmare when she realizes that she not only entertains in the Tiki Room, she has to be its caretaker as well, cleaning up after all the food and puke guests leave behind. Plus, if the Tiki Room isn't a success, Bummer and Mr. Ridgemount will close it down and she'll lose her job! Still, the support of her new friends is a source of strength, and despite being a bit of a weirdo, Cat is a real social butterfly!
Physical description: The shortest of the four new groms, Cat has short black hair and purple eyes, she's bit less skinny than any of the other girls (not fat, think of how Erika looks) and she sometimes changes her hairstyle or even paints her face and body depending on her mood or whoever she's trying to emulate.
Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba
Job at the resort: Caretaker/Entertainer in the Freaky Tiki Room
Total Drama Comparison: A more upbeat version of Gwen.
Voice actress: Alyson Court, using a voice somewhere inbetween her Lydia (Beetlejuice) voice and her Claire (Resident Evil) voice.
Intro pose: Peeking out from under her tiki mask and winking.
