It is the start of the third year of the Time War. The Time Lords have so far held off the Dalek's invasion of Gallifrey. The Skaro Degradation split from the Dalek empire with the death of Davros when the Nightmare Child appeared to defend the Gates of Elysium under the leadership of Dalek Ilik. The rebelling Dalek's called for allies from the non-time aware species, who responded with their own grasp for the Untempered Schism, and the formation of the Army of Travesties under the Five Great Generals. Now, the Dalek Emperor has taken the Cruciform to use the weapon said to be stored inside of it, and released the Could-Have-Been King, who quickly raised his army of Meanwhiles and Neverweres imposing a Time Lock on the war, stopping time travel from occurring during the war, or changing it to this point. You, fine troper, shall be a soldier for one of the sides, and you will fight in the Last Great Time War!!!!!

Now on to Details:

Factions and special members of them:

  • The Lords of Time: The Time Lords are enemies to all of the other groups, and intend to take the Untempered Schism to impose their will on the universe. N.B. They are not intended to be the good guys (in fact no one is), especially since Rassilion took over.
    • Rassilion: The Time Lord President, and one of the founders of the Time Lords. He became President after the last one died in battle against the Army of Travesties.
    • The Doctor: Currently the Eighth Doctor. Allowed to regenerate once.
  • The Dalek Empire: The Dalek Empire attempted to take the Untempered Schism to spread their empire through all of history and wipe out all inferior beings, past, present, and future.
    • The Dalek Emperor: The ruler of the Daleks. It is always protected by its guards.
    • The Cult of Skaro: Daleks meant to think like the enemy in order to kill them more efficiently. They do not participate in combat.
  • The Skaro Degradation: The Skaro Degradation was created by Dalek Ilik and, unlike the Dalek Empire, embraces emotion and individuality. The Dalek's a part of it are quite mad. Their madness drives them to take the Untempered Schism for one reason or another.
    • Dalek Ilik: The former leader of the Cult of Skaro. He was driven insane by the emotion he gave himself to better understand the enemy, and spread his emotion and madness to other Daleks creating the Skaro Degradation.
  • The Army of Travesties: An army of lesser beings who aren't time-aware or time-travel capable. They wish to take the Untempered Schism to gain power over the higher beings and take control of the Time Vortex.
    • The Five Generals: A council of the five greatest strategists from the Army. The best five character concepts for them will be accepted, but the rest will get to be commanders in the Army.
  • The Kingdom of Maybes: The Kingdom of Maybes does not technically exist, but, instead, it is a collection of possibilities that were prevented by people outside of their time. They intend to take the Untempered Schism in order to restore time to allow themselves to happen once more.
    • The Could-Have-Been King: The Could-Have-Been King was once a powerful tyrant, and interplanetary dictator who was killed as a child to prevent his empire from happening. He is the only one that is both a Neverwere and a Meanwhile.
  • The Nightmare Child: The Nightmare Child is a mysterious creature that was formed by the Untempered Schism. As the GM, I will be playing the Nightmare Child.
    • None
You can play as any of the special characters if you do good enough of a write-up for them. Special characters will have a much stricter acceptance rate than normal characters.

Races:

  • Time Lords: Time Lords can have a TARDIS, but only the Doctor can pilot their TARDIS alone without my special permission. The co-piolets can either be non-combatant NP Cs, other players, or a combination of both. TARDI Ss can only travel through space because of the Time Lock.
  • Daleks: Daleks come in two varieties in this game. Both varieties can levitate.
    • Classic Daleks: The classic omnicidal maniacs from the TV series.
    • Mad Daleks: The Daleks modified by Dalek Ilik. They are both blessed with emotion, and cursed with insanity.
  • Neverweres: A Neverwere is created when someone is killed before there time. The longer they would have lived afterwards, the more powerful the Neverwere is. Neverweres are in a state of flux between tangibility and intangibility. They cause anything living they touch or pass through to decay where it was touched or passed through.
  • Meanwhiles: A meanwhile is created when someone is supposed to do something, but, because of a time traveler's interference, they don't. The greater an effect on the person's life the change had, the more powerful the Meanwhile. Meanwhiles can do up to four things at once, and then, when they see what that would do, choose one. To outside viewers, this looks like the Meanwhile splits into four of itself, each of which does something, and then all but one disappear.
  • Others: The members of many races joined the Army of Travesties (though the Sontarans are notably absent) and you can choose any from the series, or create your own. I reserve the right to say no to a species based off of power level.

Sign-up format:

  • Name:
  • Age:
  • Gender:
  • Race:
  • Faction:
  • Skills/abilities/powers:
  • Personality:
  • History:
  • Other notes:

This game will have, but not consist completely of, Pv P. Expect your character to die, and have one or two backups. Players of Time Lords should expect to regenerate often. You can only have one character at a time. More specifics on the rules later.

I would like to have one or two co-G Ms depending on how big this gets.
