The Doctor
The Doctor
Played by: Amy Dallen
Illustration of the Doctor by Matt Olson.
"Let's see what happens!"
First appearance: Episode 1
"You aren't different because we arrived. You're different because you're capable of being this person. That won't change, whether you know it or not. Sometimes, I've had some friends who've had... to forget. But everything extraordinary about them stays. No quirk of the universe can take that away."
An alternate 11th incarnation of the Doctor who suddenly finds herself in another universe.
- Dudley Do-Right Stops to Help: Partly because she's curious. Partly because it annoys the Master. Mostly because she wants to help others.
- My Future Self and Me: Happens twice. First when she sees a future version of herself cross into her own timeline in order to aid the Master in regenerating. Second when a future incarnation arrives to aid her after she is poisoned.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Throughout the campaign the Doctor generally remains a cheery and uplifting personality, with only occasional moments of a maternal sternness or even more occasional righteous fury. But the cold disdain with which she greets Rassilon is an alarming departure from how she has reacted to the other foes the group has faced.The Doctor: Hello, you absolute waste of the spark of life.
- Scarf of Asskicking: Has a plethora of scarves that she rotates through.
- Significant Name Shift: Begins referring to the Master as "old friend" after he sacrifices himself to stop Davros and save the party.
- Take a Third Option: One of her defining characteristics, in that she absolutely refuses to allow her companions to come to harm simply to achieve a goal, and will always search for a way that will let everyone live. This refusal to give in is from where she draws her strength, but it can also lead to indecisiveness in a situation where there truly is no other way but to make a sacrifice.
Cillian Rail
Cillian Rail
Played by: Duncan Barclay
"I'm just along for the ride."
First appearance: Episode 1
"Forget 'em. I'm over it, Doctor. I'm ready to move on. If I go back and check on those people, I might not be able to commit. I might not be able to let go. I might want to stay. And I don't want to stay."
Currently unemployed electrician who finds himself in the middle of multiverse-spanning plot.
- The Alcoholic: Was drunk in a parking lot outside a pub before being pulled through to an alternate dimension.
- Audience Surrogate: Fulfills the role of the typical Doctor Who companion, that of a relatable everyman, new to adventures throughout time and space, and to whom the Doctor can exposit information.
- Jumped at the Call: It doesn't take much to convince him to leave his old life behind and join the resistance fighting against Time Lord tyranny.Cillian: I'm thinking about going back to my old life, and it just... I mean, it was shit anyway. And this sounds really exciting, and really important, and I want to make a difference, so I'm in.
- Chekhov's Skill: Cillian's mundane profession as an electrician becomes vital when the party has to break into a bank vault, and Cillian is able to determine how the building's power grid functions by looking at its schematics.
- Connected All Along: That Cillian found himself with the Doctor appears to be complete coincidence, however it is revealed that Cillian the cousin of Mickey Smith. The Master, who had been assassinating potential companions of the Doctor as part of his plan to bring her to his universe, had presumably targeted his universe's Cillian for this reason.
- The Everyman: The party is comprised of Time Lords and other aliens and time-traveling captains, and Cillian is just an unemployed bloke from modern-day London.
- Reality Warper: Develops the ability to manipulate paradox energy, allowing him to rewrite timelines and effectively warp reality.
- Reality Warping Is Not a Toy: Cillian's ability to manipulate paradox comes to the party's rescue on multiple occasions, but the damage it does and can potentially further cause the universe makes even the Tardis afraid of his power.
- Self-Deprecation: About his species. He correctly guesses that the local gang of criminals in Cosm is run by humans.
- The Team Normal: Cillian lacks the abilities or experience of the other party members, and while he displays some promise and quick-thinking in dangerous situations, he worries he isn't contributing as much as others. This gets turned on its head when its discovered that Cillian can manipulate paradoxes.
Veleg
Third Librarian Veleg, Fourth Keeper of the Holy Articles of the Sontaran Empire
Played by: Darin De Paul; Eric Campbell for episodes 14 through 18
"I proceed with violence."
First appearance: Episode 1
"PERHAPS I CAN CALM YOUR NERVES. WITH THIS GUN. AND SOME SONTARAN OPERA. EVERYONE ELSE... RUN."
Veleg is a rarity among Sontarans. He isn't another rank-and-file soldier, but instead a museum curator and an ardent fan of opera. ...Although said museum is dedicated to the history of Sontaran's glorious history of warfare, his job as curator seems to have more to do with executing any would-be thieves of his museum, and his favorite pieces of opera usually are on the subject of the impending death of his enemies.
- Battle Trophy: Keeps a glass case full of the skulls of those foolish enough to try and steal from the museum.Veleg: I put them there myself. I labeled them. I learned their names.
- BFG: Veleg's Sontaran battle rifle is so comically large that local Earth authorities don't even recognize it as a real weapon.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Killed by the Temporal Guards while attempting to peacefully persuade them to stand down.
- I Call It "Vera": Veleg's favorite battle rifle, "Blue Death."
- Large Ham: Sontarans are this even in their subtle moments, but Darin De Paul's theatrical performance brings Veleg's hamminess to new heights.
- No Inside Voice: Confused by the concept of having separate voices for if one is inside or outside.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: As is expected of any Sontaran.
- Rewind Gag: Combined with Sdrawkcab Speech in the holiday special.
- Spell My Name With An S: His name is Veleg. Or maybe Vellig.
Finn Alexander
Captain Finn Alexander
Played by: Gina DeVivo
"Let's do this mad plan before I just start punching things."
First appearance: Episode 2
"There doesn't need to be any bloodshed, but you know, it's not going to be easy convincing a pirate not to die for their honor."
A chance run-in with the Doctor changes Finn's life forever when even that passing association with her makes Finn a target of the Gallifreyan Empire. Finn joined the resistance alongside Roko, and they have been fighting the Time Lords for a decade.
- Artificial Limb: Her robotic left arm, which she admittedly prefers to her old arm.
- Brave Scot: Scottish, and arguably the most courageous of the group when it comes to facing danger.
- Cyborg: A fairly minor example, as she has no cybernetics outside of her replacement arm.
- Fiery Redhead: Less interested in drawn-out elaborate plans and more interested in direct surprise attacks that let her punch something.
- Friendly Pirate: Finn enjoys more the swashbuckling adventure side of piracy over any actual piracy.
- Privateer: First encountered while she's on a job for the British Navy.
- Sweet Polly Oliver: Assumed her brother's identity so that she could become a pirate. Her real name is Maggie. She becomes so used to using the name Finn that she continues to use it even long after she loses the need to hide her gender.
- You Are in Command Now: We first meet Finn moments after her promotion to her ship's Captain.
Rokokokoko
Rokokokoko
Played by: Eric Campbell (Episode 1); Sam de Leve (Episode 5 & onward)
"Look at her. She thinks we don't know!"
First appearance: Episode 1
"They have such lovely stories. In their minds. That I can read."
- Arch-Enemy: Davros becomes this to Roko.
- Break the Cutie: Happens on multiple occasions, as Roko's repeated mind dives tend to expose them to horrific sights.
- Fantastic Anthropologist: Roko is a xeno-anthropologist, and is delighted to learn about alien cultures, especially Earth's.
- Good Is Not Dumb: Roko is the most empathetic and kindhearted member of the party, even compared to the Doctor, and their cheery nature sometimes allows others to forget that Roko has a keen, decisive mind.
- Healing Factor: Can regrow themself even from a single twig, although this process changes them in a manner akin to Time Lord regeneration.Roko: A little bit of me is plant. I can regrow in very difficult conditions. And this reality is what I'd call a difficult condition.
- Lizard Folk: They enjoy the novelty of being a mammal while shapeshifted into human form.
- Meat Versus Veggies: While Roko only needs sunlight to sustain themself, they can also ingest food. However, as they absolutely will not eat anything made from plant, their diet consists solely of animal-based products.
- Mind over Manners: Roko repeatedly struggles with this around humans, as mental privacy isn't much of a concept to the uniformly telepathic Ovokali people.
- Non-Human Non-Binary: All Ovokali are nonbinary, and Roko remains nonbinary when shapeshifting into a human form.
- Plant Person: Takes in sunlight as sustenance. They bloom flowers when they are happy, and will visibly wilt when upset.
- Psychic Powers: Even in a party consisting of three Time Lords, Roko stands out as the most overall powerful psychic of the group, and, within limitations, is even capable of clairvoyancy.
- Shapeshifting: To a limited degree. Their favored form is of a ginger-haired human, which they will don as a disguise when on Earth.
- Sympathy for the Devil: They are so upset by watching the Master kill himself to stop Davros and save the rest of the party, they spend several minutes crying on Finn's shoulder, blaming themself for not doing enough to prevent it.
- Telepathy: Their most oft-used psychic ability.
"Lisa"
"Lisa"
Played by: Jody Houser
"Anyone for a drink?"
First appearance: Episode 7
"No matter how many times a snake sheds its skin, it's still a snake."
A Time Lord held prisoner by the Temporal Guard on Earth. In actuality is a new regeneration of the Corsair, who did not want to reveal her name where Davros might overhear.
- Deadpan Snarker: Never without a snippy comment.
- Doppelgänger Attack: Uses a vortex manipulator to summon 9 of her other selves from different points in her timeline to attack Rassilon and his temporal guards.
- Gun Nut: Carries at least a half-dozen guns on her at any time.
- Laughing Mad: Her apparent reaction to seeing the Untempered Schism, disturbing the Time Lords who were there.
- Manchurian Agent: A very minor example. While she has one of the Master's neural implants and is susceptible to his commands, the two never actually meet prior to his one-time use of his Forced Sleep command, after which he releases her of his control entirely.
- Master Swordsman: Her skill as a swordswoman that even impresses Finn is one of the early clues as to her real identity.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Against Rassilon, who had ordered the death of her father.
- Put the "Laughter" in "Slaughter": Her attack on the temporal guards is accompanied by gleeful cackling.
Professor Chronotis
Professor Chronotis
Played by: Taliesin Jaffe
"You look familiar, I always forget a face."
First appearance: Episode 12
"We will understand that my property is not to be meddled with."
The "crazy old man" the party encounters living inside of Leviatus on the outskirts of its biggest city. He eagerly joins them in their efforts to close the dimensional rifts.
- Absent-Minded Professor: To the point where he seems to have trouble keeping track of whether events are happening in the past, present, or future.
- Bigger on the Inside: His Tardis, which from the outside looks like a simple door that can appear on the sides of walls and cliff faces. Also, his carpet bag.
- Brits Love Tea: Offers tea to any and all visitors, and is a regular customer of the local tea shop in Cosm, whose owner is terrified of ever being late in delivering his orders.
- Cloudcuckoolander: When offering tea to visitors, he asks if they would like milk, one or two lumps, or sugar. In that order. He also takes Veleg's suggestion to find a way how to melt time with acid at face value.
- Doomed Defeatist: His reaction to learning the universe is tearing itself apart because the Doctor used thirteen Tardises create freeze Gallifrey in a pocket dimension.Chronotis: [Beat.] We're going to die.
- Elephant Graveyard: The path to his abode is littered with the remains of those who would threaten the wellbeing of the people living inside Leviatus. The Doctor and her companions even spot a Dalek and a Weeping Angel among them.
- Grumpy Old Man: To the inhabitants of Cosm, although he is nothing but perfectly cordial to the Doctor and her companions.
- The Hermit: Lives by himself on the outskirts of the city. He's seen so little by Leviatus's other inhabitants that the vast majority of the city's denizens don't even know what he looks like.
- Innocently Insensitive: Walks a narrow line between this, Stealth Insult, and Damned by Faint Praise. In his attempt to encourage Cillian, who is feeling unsure about his usefulness to the group, Chronotis notes that Cillian can offer a fresh, unique perspective compared to the others... not unlike that of a child or other "small, ignorant creature." Later, when the group notes the disproportionate amount of the criminals they encounter that are human, he has this to say: "Every planet has something they specialize in. It's good to have a talent."Cillian: This guy, he's got a real talent for backhanded compliments.Taliesin: I am a professor.
- Magic Tool: The sonic device in his umbrella.
- Noodle Incidents: What caused the tea shop owner and the postman in Cosm to be so afraid of him.
- The Professor: Never seems to turn it off. He tells Pinnack to practice his cursive and that he'll be tested on it later, even though Pinnack is not his student and Chronotis hasn't worked as a professor in years.
- Super-Intelligence: Even for a Time Lord. The Doctor is suitably impressed.
Spoiler Character
The Master
Played by: Taliesin Jaffe
"I'm just offering myself as a resource."
Click here to see his appearance as of the finale.
"Our universe began to bleed. And writhe. And die. ... I knew that we needed some sort of key from the original damage to bring everything back, to fix this. ... I needed a vacuum. And so, yes, I created a Doctor-sized hole in my universe. And here you are, the key to fixing everything."
The Master had Chronotis killed and vivisected years ago, and has since assumed his identity.
- Affectionate Pickpocket: Gives the Doctor a parting hug in order to steal her remaining elixir of life.
- Ambiguous Situation: Why the Master chose not to read The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey, which he believes contains secret knowledge on how to manipulate and controls minds note , and which he has coveted for a very, very long time. He might have decided These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know, or perhaps there was a more self-interested reason. It's possible that the Master somehow realized the book didn't contain the information he sought, but notably, Eric does not ask Taliesin to make any kind of deception roll when the Master tries to entice Davros with the book's contents.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: The Master's position as Lord President of Gallifrey likely had much to do with how he won the Time War for them.
- At Least I Admit It: He may have saved Gallifrey and he may be fighting to save the universe, but he won't pretend for a second that those things make him a hero.
- Atrocious Alias: The party tries to come up with suitably degrading names for him in lieu of calling him "Master." Cillian decides on "Jarvis" while Finn requests Meatstick only refer to him as "Nothing."The Corsair: This is Jarvis, our manservant.The Doctor: He's a bit dotty.
- Badass Boast: Gives one to dissuade the Corsair from trying to shoot him.The Master: Ten minutes and forty-eight seconds. There were eleven minutes and forty-one seconds between the time the tea shop called to let me know that you were on your way to my house, and the time which you knocked upon my door. In that time, I spent fifty-three seconds putting the kettle on to boil and setting up a tea service. Can you imagine what I could do to ensure my safety with the remaining ten minutes and forty-eight seconds?
- Bag of Holding: His paisley carpet bag, which at one point he dives so deeply into to retrieve an item, that only his feet are sticking out. Unlike the Dungeons & Dragons item, he seems to be able to keep living creatures safely stored inside of it.
- Beyond Redemption: Claims to be this.
- But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Only remembers having killed Jack maybe three times. Possibly averted, however, as according to UNIT archives the "Year That Never Was" really didn't happen in this universe, meaning the Master may have been completely honest in his estimation. The timelines constantly rewriting themselves towards the end of the campaign make it difficult to judge.
- Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Invokes this before he will admit to the Corsair that he was responsible for starting the program which led to her being kidnapped and repeatedly tortured.The Master: Let me remind you that my continued existence may be instrumental in ending Rassilon's plans.
- Card-Carrying Villain: The Master finds accusations of his evil nature to be quite flattering, and he never deludes himself to think any of his actions are "heroic" even when done in service of saving the universe.
- Consummate Liar: Always.The Master: I'm not going to say I'm not going to lie. But I am going to say I haven't lied so far. Although I might be lying about that.
- The Coup: Deposed from his office as Lord President by the High Council, implied to have been brainwashed by Rassilon. Temporal Guards now are under orders to shoot him on sight.
- Deadpan Snarker: The Master indulges in this on occasion, such as when he spends an entire evening exasperated by the Doctor's refusal to stay on task and instead involve herself in every little problem she comes across.Tall Jim: Doctor, would you be there too?The Doctor: Of course!The Master: Provided that she doesn't run into an even more adorable orphan with a hangnail on the way there.
- Dismemberment Is Cheap: Loses an arm when a portal from the punch gun closes around it. But he is immediately able to grow it back with the time-altering properties of his hammer.
- Do You Trust Me?: Asks the Doctor this in the holiday special episode.The Master: Do you trust me?The Doctor: No!The Master: Excellent.
- Doesn't Like Guns: Though not for moral reasons. He simply finds they are terribly ineffective in solving problems.
- Drink-Based Characterization: Turns up his nose at grog and beer, but exhibits a preference for liquors, with his apparent drink of choice being gin and tonic, "as only the British army can make."
- Easily Forgiven
- Actually, the Doctor. The Doctor of the Pete's World universe had fled from the Time War for unknown reasons, leaving the Master to stay and fight and win on his own, for which the Master is furious. But all he asks of the Doctor is an apology, and getting it is the catalyst for his Heel–Face Turn for the rest of the campaign.
- Likewise, the Doctor is both exasperated and delighted at the prospect that an apology was all that was required to "get [her] friend back," regardless of the history they've shared.
- Emergency Temporal Shift: He attempts to prepare one as a failsafe escape route, should his alliance with the Doctor go poorly. After he tells the Doctor about it during an exchange of information, she demands he retrieve the temporal teleportation device from where he planted it. Attempts it again with a vortex manipulator in the holiday special after stealing an item off of the Doctor, but minutes later finds himself teleported back to the group, possibly due to tampering by the Corsair.
- Enemy Mine: Teams up with the Doctor in order to take down Rassilon.The Master: [Dismissively] We're doing that thing again: end of the world, it's far more important, la-di-da. I'm sure you remember.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Appalled that the Doctor would even think he might try to use the Moment.The Master: It kills everything, everywhere, all the time. It's awful. It shouldn't be touched.
- Evil Cannot Stand Cuteness: Upon the appearance of Roko's mental projection of Finn—or rather, a sparkling, dashing, idealized version of Finn as her lover imagines her—the Master concludes that he is in hell.
- Evil Genius: Constantly collects data and commits information to memory in case they may be useful to future plans.
- Evil Laugh: Recognizing it is what makes the Doctor realize Chronotis's true identity.
- Evil Wears Black: The black pinstripe suit which he dons after his identity is revealed. He later discards it for a more colorful ensemble after regenerating into a considerably less antagonistic personality.
- Extradimensional Emergency Exit: His ploy at the end of episode 24 and during the crossover with Shield of Tomorrow. With the timeline resetting and reverting everything and everyone to how they would have been had the crisis never occurred, the Master steps into an alternate dimension to avoid this change and waits for the sweeping effects of the mending timeline to blow over.
- Forced Sleep: Using one of his code phrases: "Christmas is Canceled".
- Foreshadowing
- After learning someone had snuck into his Tardis, the Master (still posing as Chronotis) immediately checks if "the book" is still where it should be. He later reveals that he'd been in possession of The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey.
- Takes some mental damage when he is too slow in psychically retreating from the mind of a dying Time Lord. He later uses this against Davros, who has invaded his mind via hacked implant, by killing himself while Davros is still inside.
- Fun with Acronyms: Chronotis is Merely A Simple Time Lord Enjoying his Retirement.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Has a lower Ingenuity stat than the Doctor, but beats her in Technology.
- Gift-Giving Gaffe: The Master's first foray into Christmas gift-giving seems to be this, with Finn receiving an unremarkable live mouse in a cage and the Corsair receiving a single, plain (if tasty) banana. But it turns out Finn's real gift is the pet snake of her dearly missed former crewmate. The Corsair's gift was similarly a precursor to her real gift: a shopping spree at the weapon factories of Villengard (with a bonus trip to their banana groves afterwords). Played straight with his gift to Veleg, which is a simple, cheap "#1 Reader" pin-on ribbon.
- I Did What I Had to Do: His orchestration of the Doctor's murder. Only a Doctor from a parallel universe would be able to close the dimensional tears, and such a Doctor would only be able to arrive if his universe's Doctor was dead.The Master: The Doctor had to die. It was the only way to save this universe.
- If I Wanted You Dead...: Drops this line when the Doctor is wary of his offer to help after she's been fatally poisoned.The Master: [Chidingly.] Doctor, if I wanted you dead, all I would have to do is count.
- Insult Backfire: Very much enjoys the dressing down the matron of the Sisterhood of Karn attempts to give him.Eric: She continues drolling on and on, and basically telling you things that should be insulting but are in fact adding merit badge after merit badge after merit badge.Taliesin: Highly complementary.
- Ironic Echo: Reacts with disgust when Zeeps vomits inside the Tardis. The Master himself would later vomit multiple times in the Tardis while suffering from regeneration sickness.
- MacGuffin: The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey, which the Master took from Chronotis, and which fans of Doctor Who might know is the key to the Time Lord's forgotten prison planet. However, the book is only ever used to trick Davros and distract him long enough for the Master to enact an unrelated plan.
- The Mad Hatter: Acknowledges as much.
- Magic Tool: His sonic drill, and later sonic screwdriver.
- Making the Choice for You: When Davros uses the Master's neural implant to trap him, the other Time Lords, and Roko inside of their minds, he realizes that the only way to escape before Davros can steal vital Time Lord secrets from their memories is for him to die. The Doctor won't accept this option and refuses to act. So the Master takes matters into his own hands and kills himself with the sonic drill.The Master: Running away again.
- Manipulative Bastard: Used River Song as his pawn and personal assassin without her conscious knowledge for years.
- Mark of the Supernatural A symptom as his highly atypical regeneration, as it drew upon regeneration energy from the harvested organs of dozens of different Time Lords.
- Mark of the Supernatural A symptom as his highly atypical regeneration, as it drew upon regeneration energy from the harvested organs of dozens of different Time Lords.
- The Master: He's so pleased the Doctor has remembered his name.
- Mind Control: His specialty. Used in the campaign through both psychic hypnosis as well as electronic implants in his sleeper agents, controlled using code phrases.
- Moral Pragmatist: Causes friction with the Doctor. She is furious with him for not restoring River Song's memories as, according to him, doing so would be traumatizing to River and, more importantly, render her "useless." Meanwhile, the Master is frustrated by the Doctor's insistence on stopping to help every poor soul they come across when there are bigger problems to focus on.The Master: She is a bloody park squirrel. "Oh my god, there's a child bleeding in the street. Wait, let's stop putting out the end of the universe so that we can give him some ice-cream."The Corsair: Ice-cream is quite lovely sometimes, though.The Master: No one will know soon. They'll all be dead.
- Necessarily Evil: In the face of multiversal obliteration, there is nothing off-limits to what the Master is willing to do to achieve his goals.
- Nemesis Weapon: The sonic drill, a sonic device with an actual spiraling, spinning drill tip on the top of it. Notably, after the Master regenerates and goes through a small Heel–Face Turn with his next incarnation, he begins using a sonic screwdriver instead.Eric: Let's just say it's not quite as passive as a sonic screwdriver. This thing has probably been used as a murder weapon on a few occasions by the looks of it.
- Not Me This Time: In the series's crossover with group's Shield of Tomorrow campaign, the Doctor is surprised to learn the Master genuinely isn't responsible for the crisis of the episode, and had happened upon the situation by chance just as she had.
- Organ Theft: Began harvesting the organs of other Time Lords in order to use their regeneration energy to elongate his life.The Master: In order to see this through, I needed more than would have necessarily held together. I was starting to wear out. So I've, er, "Keith Richards'd" it a bit.
- Parasol of Pain: His umbrella has a built-in force field.
- Pet the Dog: In the crossover with Shield of Tomorrow, despite having brusquely conscripted Ensign Lark Sage into being his "companion" for the duration of the crisis, he takes the time to reassure her when she apologizes for not being as useful as she could have been.
- Photographic Memory: Has an eidetic memory. When the others go into his mind and see his memories, his perfect recollection allow them to see events in startling detail.
- Pragmatic Villainy: Willing to curb his more overtly cruel and evil tendencies in order to stay on the Doctor's good side so they can continue combining their effort to stop Rassilon.
- The Quincy Punk: After regenerating and leaving the party for a few episodes, he returns in the finale as this with no explanation for his new getup, only noting that he had been getting into "quite a bit" of trouble.
- Quintessential British Gentleman: Presents himself as such after dispensing with his Chronotis disguise.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: The brass snuff box, the time-locked properties of which are able to safely contain the pulverized dust of a still-living Weeping Angel. Well, mostly safely.
- Sharp-Dressed Man: After his identity is revealed, he changes out of Chronotis's rumpled tweed suit and into a sharp pinstriped black suit, complete with bowler hat and pocket square.
- Shoe Phone: At one point, the Master brings out a cleaning supply kit, complete with bleach, sponges, and a pair of rubber cleaning gloves. But it turns out that the gloves have hidden technology which creates a thin force field around them, making their wearer able to safely handle any material, such as a the pulverized dust of a Weeping Angel.
- Snake Charmer: Lingers in the back of a room during a conversation with an NPC to instead telepathically speak to said NPC's snake. He later returns and convinces said snake to leave its home and owner with him.
- The Sociopath: Freely admits it.The Doctor: If you could stop enjoying, for one moment, the consequences of your cruelty!The Master: I don't know how! I would if I could, but I can't!
- Stealth Bye: If it ever seems like he's being a little too quiet, it means he's already sneaked off somewhere. He then has a tendency to come sauntering back to the group just as characters begin to wonder where he's gone.
- Sticky Fingers: At one point he emphasizes the need for expediency when leaving a location, but still takes the time to pocket all the random bits of tech within reach before actually going.
- Teleport Gun: Of the temporal portal variety. It shoots small portals—big enough for an arm to fit through—allowing the Masater to reach out from the past and do a variety of "pre-loaded" actions, including grabbing objects, pressing buttons, and punching. Fittingly named the "punch gun."
- This Is a Drill: Now with added sonic. The spinning drill bit on end actually functions as its name suggests, as the Master ends up demonstrating on his own skull.
- Time Master: A given, as a Time Lord. Invoked a little more overtly with his Tea/Brunch hammer, which can knock its target slightly into its past or future depending on which side of the hammer strikes it.
- Token Evil Teammate: Even when compared to the violent and chaotic Meatstick and Veleg.
- Took a Level in Kindness: After regenerating.
- Tragic Villain: How the Doctor's Tardis views him.The Tardis: I am very fond of him, and very sad for him. ... He is a tragedy, and he knows it. Which is what makes him so dangerous.
- Trigger Phrase: He uses several, all based on song titles, the majority of which are by British rock bands:
- "Don't Look Back in Anger": Signifies the end of the active hypnotic state, forcing the subject to forget what had happened while in that state and returning the subject to "normal."
- "The Adults Are Talking": Possibly an order to stand down and/or to leave. His attempt to use this fails, so the intended effect is unclear.
- "Pretty Girls Make Graves": Kill order.
- "This Is Hardcore": An order for the subject to cease hostilities, or otherwise switch to nonlethal means of action.
- "Christmas is Canceled": Causes the subject to immediately fall unconscious.
- "Viva La Vida": Releases subject from control and restores all memories.
- Troll: He finds antagonizing K9 to be good, clean fun. Also he's this in general, as he takes great enjoyment in the fact that nothing he ever says can be fully trusted by the other party members.
- Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: The Master takes on a Weeping Angel on his own.Eric: This is a showdown I would pay good money to watch in a Doctor Who episode.
- Umbrella Drink: Carries around his own little umbrellas that he can put into his drinks.
- Victory Is Boring: The reason he claims he started La Résistance when he was still ruling as Lord President was that he needed a hobby. However, River (who has every reason not to come to his defense), states that he started the resistance specifically in response to Rassilon's oncoming return.
- Worthy Opponent: He considers the Doctor and Rassilon to be this. But not Davros, whom the Master writes off as an idiot. This comes back very shortly to bite him.

- Now or Never Kiss: Attempts this on the rest of the party right before confronting The Big Bad. Most of the group either refuses or are too busy kissing someone else, leaving Jack to only kiss Cillian.
- What the Hell, Hero?: To the Doctor, as his experience both personally with her and with crises in timespace compared the majority of the group allows him to be more directly critical of her when necessary. The first time is when the Doctor defends Cillian when he uses his incredibly dangerous ability to control paradox, and the second is when he discovers the Doctor is working alongside the Master.Jack: He just changed everything by looking at a picture. I've never seen anything like that before. And now we're traveling in a universe—and you know this and they don't—that has no ends, no beginnings, and we don't know where we are!
Additional Allies

Played by: Jason Charles Miller (until episode 7, after which he is controlled as an NPC by Eric Campbell)
Appearance(s): Episode 5, 6, & 7
- Arch-Enemy: Isn't sure who he hates more: the Doctor, due to their long contentious history, or the Master, for his victory over Davros in the Time War.
"The Rogue" (Spoiler Character)
The Rogue / The Doctor
Played by: Aliza Pearl
Appearance(s): "Holiday Special" (2018)
- Future Self Reveal: A future incarnation of the Doctor who arrives to ensure the campaign's Doctor will be able to regenerate into her. Implied to be the campaign's version of the 12th Doctor, going by her altered callback to a quote of Capaldi's Doctor.

NPCS
Played by: Eric Campbell
Zeeps
Zeeps
"Right. Uh. Sorry. It's just. Um. Uh. If I can just say a few words real quick. I don't normally have the courage to do what I'm doing right now, so it's not gonna last. You know."
The party first meets this human teen when he's working for a group of space scavengers. When the party comes to butt heads with the group, Zeeps elects to change sides.
- Tag Along Kid: The party takes him aboard the Tardis to travel with them, but they generally leave him behind in the Tardis for the more dangerous stretches of their adventure. He has absolutely no problem with this.
River Song
River Song
Played by: Eric Campbell
- The Big Damn Kiss: Pulls the Doctor into one right before the final confrontation with The Big Bad.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: The party is initially put off by River's flippant admission that she sees everyone but the Doctor as disposable.
- Kill the Ones You Love: Murders the Doctor on the Master's orders.
- Manchurian Agent: Under Chronotis's control. It turns out the Master has been controlling her for many years.
- Rebel Leader: River is revealed to be this.
- Til Murder Do Us Part: See Kill the Ones You Love above.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: Years of leading the resistance in a bloody war against the Time Lords have turned River into a far more calculating and ruthless woman than the Doctor once new.
The Doctor of the "Pete's World" Universe
The 10th Doctor
The 10th Doctor of this setting's universe, who is already dead before the events of the campaign take place.
- Alternate Self: His and the campaign Doctor's paths seem to have very much gone in different directions after the end of the Time War. Understandable, as this universe never had a Rose Tyler, but this 10th Doctor was confirmed to also never have met Martha Jones, and is further implied to have never come across Donna Noble. The fact that Gallifrey was never destroyed in this universe also likely settled him with some other things to focus on, especially considering the presence of the newly elected Lord President...
- Dirty Coward: So the Master claims. This Doctor had apparently fled the fighting of the Time War for unknown reasons.
- Posthumous Character: Everyone knows he died but no one remembers how or why.
- Thanatos Gambit: Possiblly, if the Doctor came to the same conclusion that the Master had, that an alternate universe Doctor would be required to solve the issue, necessitating his own death.
- Unexplained Recovery: His return in the finale of the series.
- Video Wills: Leaves one for his alternate universe counterpart.
The Lord President (Spoiler Character)
Rassilon
The ruling despot of Gallifrey, whose plans threaten to undo all of reality.
- Bait-and-Switch: The Lord President is initially identified as the Master by Temporal Guards of the Gallifreyan Empire, who then bizarrely attempt to kill him. The Master explains that he was the Lord President, but the actual culprit behind the formation of the Empire, the man whom the Doctor is trying to thwart, is the current Lord President, Rassilon himself.
- Eviler than Thou: To both the Master and Davros.
- President Evil: Attempting to destroy the multiverse and remake it in his own image is pretty evil, yeah.
