Doctor Who RPs

[pyroman]

I've got a rough character in mind. He won't be a standard Londoner, but a traveler, possibly from America. He enjoys traveling the world to give him inspiration for his books that he writes, and many of his books are culture specific, or culture heavy.

If you wanted to flesh out a light CS, I could take a look and make sure it catches my interest. I could throw together a light CS myself if you liked. I probably won't have a Time War or anything for my "Doctor" but still a wanderer herself who does as she pleases.

Would you prefer that I PM it to you?

I was wondering if Ten x Martha was still open?

We can just use an OOC/IC thread if you'd like. PMs tend to get kicked under a rug, for me.

Hi.
I would like to do a Ten X Female OC rp with you, if that's alright. ^^" Willing to double.

[Genkai]

Would you be willing to double as Nine? And what is your OC like?

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Yes, I'm willing to double up as Nine. ^_^
As for my OC, I'm still fleshing her out, but I was thinking that she would be a spunky person, who can make wisecrack jokes, is very mischievous, and sort of rebellious, and tends to get herself into a lot of trouble, but is a very supportive and reliable person. In a sense she would be adventurous and have a lot of moxie. ((If that sounds like a horrid character, let me know. ^^" I don't want to end up making a Mary Sue))

I already have my hands full with two other DW roleplays where people play the sort of character you described and it's a bit tiring to deal with someone who gets into trouble and is a bit of a rebel. Sure, they may earn their keep somehow but it's not really someone I want a third story to dictate. It's kind of the "go to" thing I think a lot of people end up wanting to play. *shrugs* If you have another idea or option, I'm all ears though.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

OK. Understandable.

I do have other ideas/options!

1) My character could be a very cynical, sarcastic, bitter, and skeptical person due to abuse in the past. Very cranky, and seems to never smile or laugh. But she is very intelligent, and would be a reliable friend even if she won't admit any of her feelings honestly. She is very tough and is not afraid to pick a fight, may have a bit of a foul mouth though. Very much a loner. She would quite scared of the future (again she won't admit it), and hates her past.
She would also be the drag along archetype. She wouldn't want to take any part of the Doctor's journeys because it doesn't make sense to her, but she can't go home because something happened to her world and time (she managed to get to the TARDIS safely before she died/had something happen to her like everyone else), so it's not safe for her to go back. She only agrees to help the Doctor in order to get back home faster.

2) My character could be a shy and meek character, who seems to be afraid of everything, including her own shadow, due to bullying in her past. She doesn't speak much, and has social anxiety. Very polite, and kind, but also serious. Tends to be made fun of and made the butt of many jokes. She also is afraid of following her passions and doing what she wants instead of doing what is considered 'correct' in social context (talking career wise. Becoming a doctor instead of a singer, that kind of situation). However, she would also prove to be very reliable and a brave person if any of her friends are in need of help. The phrase 'Beware the quiet ones' would apply to this character. If a certain emotional button is pressed, she will go on an angry rant and let her real emotions out.
She would be with the Doctor because something happened to a childhood friend of hers (She doesn't have very many friends), and wants to help her friend, even if it means leaving her home and her comfort zone.

3) This character would be a relatively calm person who just goes to the beat of her own rhythm. She's very creative, and has simple tastes. She acts like an old woman, but that means that she's wise in some aspects, more in the philosophical, and situational instead of science or biological like the last two. She has a few friends (that's more than the last two combined) and very few enemies. Cross her, and she could be very manipulative and sly. She may look out for herself, but that doesn't mean she won't look out for her friends.
She could be facing writers' block as of late. The adventures with the Doctor would help her come up with a new story to write.

4) This character would be most synonymous to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She has two personalities. She is two people as one (This could be just a coping mechanism, or this could be caused by an alien). Her normal self is just the average Jane who just wants her life to be normal. She tries to be normal and fit in, but her other personality doesn't allow that. Her other personality is random, chaotic, and can be quite destructive, and quite often claims that she will take over the world one day ((for comedy)).
If the other personality is an alien, then the Doctor could try and find a way to 'cure' my character.

Wall of text doesn't "quote" properly these days...

I must say the third idea is the most interesting, I think it could provide some nice mature dialogue for the Doctor while also able to play off of one another when a dire situation arises. Is that alright with you? I wasn't expecting so many options, I was pleasantly surprised! Should I whip up a few ideas for you and see what you like best, seems only fair? And a change up in dynamics (in terms of who I'd typically play) would be refreshing.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

It's alright with me. ^_^ I'm glad you like my third idea.
And yes, that would be great, thanks. ^^

[Genkai]

1. She's a writer and graphic designer for a catering company. While she loves food, she herself has zero talent in the kitchen so she decides she can at least make the company look as good as it tastes. She would be typically positive and upbeat about life, usually busy with one thing or another and tends to wrap herself up in too many projects. She would be someone who likes to give things 110% but is well aware that you can't be great at everything. She'd be someone who has a steady job, a decent boyfriend, a simple home life and has dreams of publishing her own books, be them travel guides, cook books, children books or whatever. She would be someone who is up for any adventure and happy to try something at least once. She'd be afraid of heights, bugs and knives, after some silly incident in the kitchen at work (she's not allowed in there kitchen anymore). Age 20 to 26

2. She is a scientist, someone who loves genetics and chemistry, she's fascinated by ever facet of the world around her. She did well in academics and currently travels the world doing research on how humans evolve. She is somewhat of a loner in the sense that when she opens her mouth, most people tend to distance themselves. Sometimes her intelligence can bother people but as she has been traveling, she's learning from her peers to think less with her brain and more with her heart. She is by no means a creative soul. She can enjoy a symphony but wouldn't be able to write one herself. She had a normal life growing up but due to her job, she hasn't been in touch with her family as often as she should. She's intuitive which is as close to being creative as she'll probably get. She'd be able to converse with the Doctor and learn actual life lessons that don't require a white lab coat. Age: 23 to 26

3. She's a teacher at a local elementary school. She married young but quickly divorced when her husband decided things weren't working out anymore. She grew up in foster care until she was five and was then adopted by a nice couple who owned a farm. Her upbringing was uneventful and she learned to enjoy and even expect, a wholesome life. She married her high school sweetheart and tried to go to school but he was unsupportive and so she blames part the failing marriage on her career choice. Even so, it's the path the choose so she stuck with it, despite being in a very odd place in her life. She wants to reevaluate her goals in life and now that the shine is off the apple, she can do whatever she wants. She can find a good man, get married, have kids, make apple pies, live the dream, or she can figure out that life isn't about what others expect from you, but what you expect from yourself. Age: 25 to 28

4. She's a big geek, a big believer in aliens and whatever else is out there in space. She has walls covered in posters and other memorabilia. She is single and living with her parents due to financial issues. Gaming, writing and drawing are things she excels out. Sometimes she can get sidetracked, okay, she often does. She has a good heart though and currently is trying to look for work. Having majored in Philosophy (big mistake there) she hasn't much to go on so all she can do is apply to crummy fast food places or kiosks at the local mall. Despite this odd rut she's in, she still has an unbridled passion for science fiction and outer space. She's curious and often happy to debate with people. She's someone who would get into trouble every now and then but would work hard to fight her way out of it, since she knows life is too vast and short to be bumbling around. Age 23 to 25

Any one stick out to you? I'm leaning toward 2 since I love a challenge but what are your thoughts? (I'm probably leaning toward two since I'm still on a high from watching this week's Orphan Black and I may have based the idea off of one or two of the clones in it...>_>)

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Number 1 sounds the most interesting to me. ^_^ The character sounds really fun and interesting, and I get the most ideas with this one. I'm aware that comedy is a weak area of mine, I've been trying to improve in that area, and I think this character is perfect for some small comedic bits, as well as for serious matters.

[Genkai]

Okay, fine with me. :3

I made us an OOC then.
