Item: N/A
How Long Have You Been Here?: N/A
Abilities/Powers: As a Time Lord, the Master can “cheat death” by undergoing a Regeneration process, which is sort of dodgy, and can only be done about twelve times, unless you’re the Master, then it can be done however many times you feel like it (well, with cheating). While it allows him to recover from mortal wounds, it also makes him become a “new” person. His entire appearance will change, and certain aspects of his personality will, as well, but in essence, he’s still the same old sadistic bastard. He has the same memories, skills, etc. He is, at once, different and the same. The Regeneration process is incredibly taxing, and it’ll put him out of commission for a little bit. Although he can Regenerate, the Master can’t magically heal from all wounds in seconds, nor can he grow back a missing limb, unless these injuries are sustained while he still has some residual “regeneration juices” in him. Aside from the ability to Regenerate, the Master’s life span, in each incarnation, is far greater than that of a human’s. Barring accidents, a Time Lord can practically live forever. Also, he has increased stamina, more energy, and can more quickly recover from being attacked than a normal human. Despite this, he is still susceptible to many things that could kill a human, and some things that are totally harmless to humans, such as aspirin (which can, sadly, kill him)
Although he appears human in most respects, the Master is not human, and there are some significant physiological differences. He, like the rest of his kind, has a binary vascular system, i.e. two hearts. This comes in handy, you know, in the event that he sustains an injury that stops one heart from working. He doesn’t like having only one heart in use, though; it feels weird to him, and it hurts… since you’d hurt, too, if your heart stopped. He also has a respiratory bypass system, which allows him to go without air for a while. Also, his body temperature is lower than that of a human’s, and is generally around 15-16 degrees Celsius/60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Even though it’s not a “power,” the Master is quick-witted and resourceful, and he’s an expert in technology, history, and science. He can create a number of inventions, usually weapons, and is basically a super genius. Luckily, he’s insane, so that will sort of limit what he's capable of (or greatly expand it!). He is a skilled hypnotist, and is capable of dominating others.

The Master is a sociopath who develops no real affection for anybody (except for himself), and is incapable of self-sacrifice. This means, if he has to destroy himself to destroy his enemies and succeed in his plans, he won't do it. Ultimately, his own survival and happiness is his only real concern-- and his happiness is generally dependent on how powerful he is and how miserable everybody else is. Like the Doctor, the Master is a genius; however, he's an eeevil genius. His sadism and cruelty is actually one of his greatest weaknesses; he'd stop in the middle of his plans just to kill an insect.
The Master is pretty hyperactive, and he relishes victory and success. He'll gloat endlessly over his victories, and will sometimes delay killing an enemy just to keep them alive and tormented. His greatest fears all revolve around the Doctor: the Doctor victorious, laughing over him, or the Doctor showing him compassion, uttering the words "I forgive you."
History: The Master's history is as long as varied as his arch-nemesis's. So long, in fact, that you should just check this link out for the gist of his history: Wikipedia lol.
Basically, the Master was taken to the Academy at the age of eight and made to look into the Untempered Schism, as was typical for all young Time Lords. While some were inspired by it, others ran away or were driven insane. The Master's of the latter group. As he looked into the Schism, the sound of drums invaded his head, a never-ending call for war. He went off to become a constant thorn in the Doctor's side, returning again and again to destroy his former friend/greatest enemy. At one point, the Master even ran out of Regenerations, but still managed to find a way to live, taking the form of a snake-like creature and possessing unfortunate individuals.
Anyway, the Master eventually died, only to be resurrected by the Time Lords to fight in the Time War. However, when the Dalek Emperor took control of The Cruciform, the Master became so frightened that he traveled to the end of the universe to escape, and utilized a Chameleon Arch to rewrite his DNA. The Master became human, with his Time Lord "essence" trapped within a fob watch, which had a perception filter that would make the human Master unable to pay too much attention to it. He became Professor Yana, a kindly scientist with a mission of helping the last of humanity escape a dying world to go to Utopia. It was then that a mysterious Doctor, a girl named Martha Jones, and a (totally immortal) man named Jack Harkness entered the Professor's life. The trio set about helping him set off the rocket that would launch the last humans into Utopia, all the while dropping words that triggered strange feelings in him: time travel, regeneration, TARDIS... When he pulled out a funny old watch that he'd always had, Martha's reaction to it caused him to fixate on it. Funny, he'd never really paid attention to it before. It was always broken...

And thus, the Master Regenerated: younger, stronger, manic, and possibly more insane than ever. Before he could hijack the TARDIS to wherever he wanted to, the Doctor fused the coordinates, forcing him to only be able to travel between the year 100 Trillion and early 21st Century Earth. D'oh.
Still, the Master wasn't down and out. He created the pseudonym "Harold Saxon" and became a high-ranking minister within the Ministry of Defense. Through this position, he created the Archangel Network, which allowed him to hypnotize humanity on a world-wide scale and convince them to vote for him for Prime Minister.
When the Doctor and co. managed to catch up to him, it was too late: the Master was Prime Minister. His first act as Prime Minister was to declare first contact with an alien race known as the Toclafane, who were these goofy (murderous) floating spheres who spoke like children. Organizing a meeting with the President of the United States, he and other important figures met on the Valiant, a floating airship. There, the Master had the President killed, defeated the Doctor (by utilizing his laser screwdriver and aging his rival 100 years), and unleashed six billion Toclafane upon Earth, ordering them to kill one tenth of the population.
Now, normally you'd think "Ah, but here comes the part where the Doctor stops him and everything goes back to normal." Not so. The Master ruled from the Valiant for a year, destroying whole countries, torturing the immortal Jack Harkness, keeping the aged Doctor as his, er, dog, and enslaving Martha's family. Oh, and he also danced around a lot. Planet Earth turned into work camps and bases for fleets of rockets. Things were looking up for the Master! He even got to suspend the Doctor's regenerative capacities, forcing him to bear the weight of all 900 years of life and turning him into a shrunken gnome House Elf thing. The Master plotted to create a New Gallifrey and restore the Time Lord empire-- probably through the use of his Paradox Machine.
However, before he could succeed, he was defeated by the Doctor and his plucky band. Utilizing the psychic field of his own Archangel Network, Martha had coordinated people across the Earth to focus on just one thought at one time: the Doctor. Doing this allowed the Doctor to return to his usual youthful state and made him, wellll, all-powerful. He told the Master three simple words: "I forgive you," which were enough to drive his enemy into a miserable and terrified state. When everything was said and done and the Doctor saved the day, he decided that it was time to stop running, and that he would keep the Master and look after him. They'd travel the universe together and-- ughhhh it was just too much for the Master to handle. Luckily, he was shot by his beard-- er, "wife," Lucy Saxon. As he lay dying in the Doctor's arms, he finally found a way to triumph over his hated enemy: he refused to Regenerate and died, leaving the Doctor, once more, the last Time Lord. HA! Victory!

And I can still hear it: the sound of the drums. The unceasing call to war. Oh, fabulous, even in death it haunts me, this relentless staccato beating.
Tap tap taptaptaptap. Tap tap taptaptaptap. Tap tap taptaptaptap.
Catchy, isn't it? I'm rather fond of the tune, myself. It has a way of, ohhh, getting inside your head. Don't you agree?
Sample RP:
An eternity with the Doctor, trapped in the TARDIS like his pet, ugh, companion. The very thought of it sickened the Master, made his stomach recoil-- oh, wait, no. No, that was the bullet. He found he was rather sick of getting shot by women. First that disgusting little insect Chantho, and now Lucy, dear Lucy. It was always the women, wasn't it? Couldn't trust them. They liked to act all simpering and sweet and devoted, but the second you let your guard down: BAM!
Oh, how he hated women.
Ah. But the look on the Doctor's face. Priceless. Worth a hundred thousand deaths-- and the Master wasn't one to consider his own death lightly. As he lay dying in his enemy's arms, he could feel the Doctor's hearts beating, racing, and-- ah, yes-- breaking! That was enough for him to ignore the drumming in his head as he closed his eyes and allowed himself to die...
...only to wake up.
...WHAT?
"Oh, no no no no no, Doctor!" he growled furiously, opening his eyes. He wasn't sure what to expect-- the interior of the TARDIS, probably, while the Doctor stood above him looking so grim and tortured by his own compassion. Instead, however, he was in what appeared to be... the cabin of a ship? Blinking, he sat up and looked around. How curious. There wasn't an afterlife; he was certain of it. But he had died. So what was this place? A trick, probably; some bleeding-heart scheme of the Doctor's to make him "see the error of his ways." How tossing him on a boat would do that, the Master didn't really know, but it was the only explanation he even wanted to consider at the moment.
Special Notes: Ughhh I've never RPed him before, so this should be FUN while I get the hang of it! I promise he won't suck once I get used to it. Cross my heart.
