Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* AssholeVictim: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Cedric's cruel and horrifying actions towards Alejandro and Duncan are not shown to be deserving and in fact invoke some sympathy for them.
** Like in canon Alejandro is a lying, back-stabbing snake, who charms everyone he comes across to further his own placing in the game, and votes them out once they have been lulled into a false sense of security. [[spoiler: However, his torture to near death and soul stealing by Cedric was horrifying and it is made clear that despite Alejandro's actions throughout the game, he does not deserve what happened to him.]]
** While at first it was amusing to see Cedric picking on Duncan and tormenting him much like the latter would do to Harold in canon, it stops being funny when Cedric's abuse of Duncan grow worse and you see how much danger his life really is in. [[spoiler: This comes to a head when Duncan decides to rebel against Cedric, he beats Duncan within an inch of his life, and it's made clear than even if Duncan is at is worst, and if he never reforms he still does not deserve that beating.]]

** Duncan's character is also deconstructed over the course of the story. Like in All-Stars Duncan knew there was someone in the game who was a danger to the other contestants, and although he knew the danger they were all in, Duncan is more concerned with his bad boy rep. However, in this story Duncan's actions are portrayed as dumb and cowardly, and numerous characters call him out on it. Also, Duncan being a JerkWithAHeartOfGold is deconstructed, as in canon he is shown to have a good side and care about his friends, despite being a bully and a thug. Like in All-Stars, he tries rejecting his good side to prove he is still a bad boy. However, he ends up proving himself wrong by showing that despite appearing to be a tough guy, he is really a coward who would rather protect his reputation then do the right thing, and having a good side does't matter since he rejected it by choosing to be a bad person.

* JerkToNiceGuyPlot: This series can be seen as one for Duncan, as Voodoo's Disciple Duncan is a jerkass bully who cheats on his girlfriend. Then, when a supernatural serial killer has appears and [[spoiler: forces Duncan to work for him]], despite the danger he and the other contestants are in, Duncan is more concerned with his bad boy rep and avoiding being seen as good than using his knowledge to expose Cedric to the others. In the third act, he realizes how dumb that is and [[spoiler: decides that stopping Cedric is more important then being seen as a bad boy, even performing a HeelFaceTurn.]] In the sequel, Malevolence Duncan has become nicer, become friends with Cody, broken up with Gwen but stayed friends with her, gotten a new girlfriend and it looks like he has turned his life around, unlike his canon counterpart.

** Chris McLean, the despised host of Total Drama, who is hated by the contestants of the show for his torturous challenges, dredging up drama, and humiliating the contestants, was reduced to a prisoner of a supernatural serial killer. While he continues to be the host of the show, there are times when he's reminded that he's a prisoner of Cedric and how dangerous the situation is.

** Alejandro, The Arch Villain, was the main antagonist of the season before Cedric appeared but found himself outmatched against the powers of his new rival. Thinking that he was dealing with Cody, Alejandro underestimated Cedric, which resulted in him being framed, eliminated, tortured, and murdered.

A ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' DarkFic series starting around the midway point of Total Drama World Tour, in which a serial killer who uses black magic named [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Cedric von Túfeice]] sneaks aboard the plane after six years in hiding and begins to hunt for fresh victims. However there proves to be much more to story as several contestants have met Cedric in the past. Now the race is on for the contestants to somehow get Cedric back into custody while dealing with the fact they've gone from contestants to hostages.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Cedric von Túfeice is a dark and more dangerous version of Dr. Facilier from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' Both of them made a deal with a loa for power, and both of them wore suits and hats. The difference is that Dr. Facilier is a ConMan looking to become rich, while he does HatesRichPeople and is looking to take all the souls of New Orleans; it's implied that all he's looking for is to live comfortably as a rich man. Cedric, however, is a SerialKiller that loves to cause mass destruction; he is also a MisanthropeSupreme that is looking to end the world because of his hatred for humanity.

Asexuality is now a disambiguation page.

* NoSympathy: Chris couldn't care less about the trauma suffered by those around for Cedric's first rampage. Examples include repeatedly mocking Alejandro's failed attempts to get out of the game, referring to Duncan, Gwen and Courtney as Pride, Lust and Wrath(Cedric's nicknames for them), repeatedly bringing up Cody's mistake in letting Cedric take control of him, and mocking Duncan when he [[spoiler: can't touch a series of cigarettes burns spelling out Pride that Cedric gave him during the Truth or Scare challenge]]. Note that the last one drove ''Courtney'' to tears for forcing him into it.
