[Background]
[Personality]
Rory has seen a wide development arc since his introduction in the
first episode of season five as Amy Pond's bumbling "sort of" boyfriend.
In that first episode, The Eleventh Hour, he is incredibly unsure of
himself and surprised by the Doctor's sudden physical presence in his
life. For him, the Doctor had always been an odd aspect of Amy, another
quirky thing that he's grown to love about her. When he's faced with the
proof that the Doctor is real, he is surprised and also jealous that
another man has had such an impact of the life of the woman he loves.
For
Rory, that jealousy doesn't come to the surface in a violent way, but
in a protective one. his ultimate goal is to keep everyone around him,
especially Amy, safe. initially, his reaction to the Doctor is of
someone that threatens that safety. In Vampires of Venice, he confronts
the Doctor, telling him "you have no idea how dangerous you make people
to themselves". Ultimately though, he sacrifices both his and Amy's
safety to help save others and follow the Doctor into danger himself. He
is sensible and cautious, but never cowardly. He repeatedly tries to
help others at risk to himself, including saving the Doctor's life on
one occasion, which leads to his (temporary) death.
Unlike Amy,
he has a much harder time accepting the outrageous way of life on the
TARDIS, complete with time travel and multitudes of alien species,
though he doesn't recognize any of it as impossible. After his first
encounter with the Doctor, he takes it upon himself to read up on
science fiction and science, so that when he finally steps onto the
TARDIS, he recognises that it's a dimensionally transcendental ship.
He's intelligent, and tries to learn about his surroundings.
It
takes him a long time for him to accept that life with the Doctor is the
real world and to come of his own within that world. He makes the
selfless decision to guard the Pandorica, containing Amy and the
Doctor's message, from the past to the present day - ensuring both Amy's
safety and the success of the rest of the Doctor's plan to restart the
universe and save everyone. This is the extreme end of his protective
tendencies, and an act that finally makes him an equal of the Doctor in
Amy's eyes, though perhaps not his own. In the latest series, he has
continued to defer to the Doctor's knowledge and to follow his commands
(sometimes without question).
Even after the Pandorica, he can be
unsure of himself, and surprised when people like him. When he receives
romantic attention from anyone but Amy, he gets flustered and tries to
grandstand, not used to getting that sort of attention and not knowing
how to react to it from anyone but Amy.
In the latest season,
there's been a bit of travel fatigue present in Rory, probably helped
along by the horror of knowing he'll never be able to raise his own
daughter up - instead, she helped raise him in a way, making sure that
he and Amy get together. He's more or less just found out that his
entire life has been influenced by the Doctor. More importantly, he
knows that both Amy and River's lives are wrapped up in the Doctor's.
This makes him feel like he's not the most important man in their lives -
which is both true and untrue - but I think that that knowledge creates
a little bit of resentment in him. He wants to be the better
alternative to the Doctor, even if he knows he can't . (Of course, River
and Amy might disagree on that one, but he's very insecure about
himself and needs validation.)
In the God Complex we learn that
he doesn't rely on faith in anything to guide him. Instead, he is
forever hopeful- that he will find his daughter, that Amy will still
love him, that the Doctor won't throw them into more trouble than is
necessary to save the day.
Rory does not have a drive to
adventure like Amy does. His biggest desire is to live a quiet life
alongside her, but ultimately he will follow her forever rather than
pursue that desire alone. There's a part of him that definitely loves
the adventure - after all, that's what drew him to Amy - but he's more
enraptured by the idea of home, hearth, and family than he ever will be
by new worlds and fighting whatever alien menace is around the next
corner.
[Specialties/Abilities]
The uncanny ability to come back from near death (and actual death).
[Affection]
He might give out hugs. You can go for kissing/groping, but he's probably going to be awkward or hostile about it.
[Fighting] Can other characters fight/injure/kill your character?
Yes to all of the above.
He's not much of an instigator and not that great with fighting, though, so there might not be much point.
[Other Permissions] Can telepathic characters read your character's mind? How much can fourth wall breakers say? In other words, how intrusive can another character be toward yours? If there's anything you don't want a character to bring up or know about your character, just fill it in here.
Go for it.
