    WARNING: If you do not know what Doctor Who is, this is not for you.

    Doctor Who Wiki HERE



    Now then, Allons-y!


    APPLICATION EXAMPLE:

    Name: The Doctor
    Race: Time Lord (Renegade)
    Backstory: Click Here (Is covered in entire show's run, long read, still in process due to the show's revival)

    If your character is already in the show or one of the canon items, link to the TARDIS Index Files page for the character. Now, the Doctor is not playable by anyone aside from me (The Game Master, if you will), but his companions (which vary adventure to adventure) ARE playable. Please note that if they only appear in one canon episode of the show, link to it, not the character's page.


    EXPLANATION OF ADVENTURES:

    Adventures are basically like chapters in a story. Once it's over, people send in new applications after I reveal the next adventure's premise, villains, and characters that have had canon appearances in the past. The Doctor and possibly some companions will constantly re-appear in every adventure, but Companions tend to vanish after certain adventures. Unsurprisingly, the people playing them will have to send in new applications. However, Companions will re-appear in certain adventures, and there is one "companion" that tends to re-appear daily in the show: River Song. No, she's not a real companion but she does appear daily in certain adventures. Not surprising for people who've seen the River Song episodes of Doctor Who before, but those adventures tend to be very difficult and a challenge, especially for me to think up new enemies to introduce in the adventure. As a result, I will introduce a new enemy alien for every two River Song adventures which will re-appear daily from there on.

    But there is a secret that I'll reveal after five River Song adventures. The End of Time is closer then you think...

    Anyway, on to the next section!


    MONSTERS, CREATURES, AND ALIENS:

    The current possible monsters for the next adventure (I'm waiting for applications so the important slots are filled when we start) that are from the actual show and other canon items are...

    Davros and the Daleks (Pronounced Dah-leks, not Day-leks if you're not familiar with them):

    The Doctor's oldest and worst enemy. Thought to be destroyed at the end of the Time War, they have returned alongside their leader and creator: Davros. The Daleks are nearly entirely mechanic and are nearly unstoppable with current human technology. Davros himself is more powerful and dangerous then the Daleks, but not as well-defended (That is, if you don't count the army of Daleks around him). Davros does not actually fight, but he's come close to killing the Doctor and his companions many times inadverately.

    Even the Doctor fears hearing a Dalek's "battlecry" ("EXTERMINATE") when he doesn't expect it.

    The Cybermen:

    Emotionless and robot-like, the Cybermen are second only to the Daleks in how dangerous they are.
    Hailing from Mondas and the alternate earth, "Pete's World," they seek to convert all humans to them (That's what they are, human brains in a metal shell). They even once made an alliance with the Borg to this end. (Yes, The Borg of Star Trek fame.) They still failed to kill the Doctor. Ironically, they caused the legendary First Doctor's "death" when they first revealed themselves and still did not kill him when they could.

    The Master:

    Another Renegade Time Lord like the Doctor. He has threatened the very fabric of space and time itself, defied death itself and once even transformed the whole of the Human Race (Excluding the Doctor's companions) into clones of himself. Eventually brought the Tenth Doctor's "death" and the arrival of the Eleventh Doctor. However, this all takes place before that, "shortly" after the Master's own real death and after the events of The Next Doctor. He is the ultimate final boss of the Tenth Doctor's lifetime in this game. However, he does not bring the end of the story. No... The end is not near yet. Not nearly. He only appears once before vanishing for a while in our story.


    THE TARDIS:

    The TARDIS is sort of like a hub for the Doctor and his Companions. No monsters can get in, no monsters can get out. While inside the TARDIS, your character can do various things to gain experience in certain talents and also unlock special TARDIS-Adventures, which are adventures from the previous and current incarnations of the Doctor's lifetimes. You can even go into "Custom" adventures (Eleventh Doctor Adventures) before they can happen in the ingame real world. Completing these gives your character a piece of a Sonic Screwdriver, and upon completion of all the adventures, your character gets a Sonic Screwdriver and becomes as efficient at anything related to Technology as the Doctor himself, who starts with a Sonic Screwdriver.


    THE BACKSTORY:

    1855's Victorian London; People are dissapearing from streets and people have said they have seen strange, slender, robot-like creatures dragging away their friends and children.

    In the midst of this, the Doctor is there to save the day... But how can he do that without companions?

    Yes, of course! He's been here before... That man that helped him defeat the Cybermen, what was his name? Jackson Lake... He could help! Especially considering the fact that for a while the Doctor was convinced, himself, that Lake was his next incarnation. Jackson Lake had accidentally had an Infostamp backfire on him, taking his memories and replacing them with the delusion he was the Doctor. However, he's regained his memories and retained some of the Doctor's own intellect. As a result, he would be perfect as one of the Doctor's companions... But there is something else in the shadows. Something instead of the Cybermen. An evil menace that's been masking it's own identity by disguising itself with Cyberman armor. A strange, evil being. Or so it would seem.

    There is more to this then the Doctor knows...

    And now, there is a new enemy.

    One of the Horrors of the Time War has arrived on Earth.

    Still doing this? It sounds good Id'e love to Try it.

    Just a few questions;
    Are we able to be monsters?
    How many companions will the Doctor have?
    How much control do the players have on the environment/enemies?
    Can we make up a species and play as it?
    How many people would you like to join before starting?
