[CHARACTER INFO]
CHARACTER NAME: Rory Williams
FANDOM: Doctor Who
CHRONOLOGY: Post "Cold Blood".
CLASS: Hero
SUPERHERO NAME: NA
ALTER EGO: Rory Williams, RN.
BACKGROUND:
Rory Williams grew up in Leadworth right next door to his childhood friend, Amelia Pond. When they were growing up, she would tell him stories about the Raggedy Doctor, and basically make him dress up as the Doctor so they could have "adventures" and play games based on the stories she would make up. Like everyone else, Rory assumed that the doctor was a figment of Amelia's over-stimulated imagination.
When they got older, Rory became Amelia's boyfriend. Well. Her 'sort of' boyfriend, anyway. He went through nursing school and got a job at Royal Leadworth Hospital. She took up the nickname 'Amy' and a handful of oddjobs, eventually settling on being a kiss-o-gram.
Not exactly something that he found happiness in, but it made her happy and so he was happy as well.
Rory worked as a nurse in the coma ward, and he began to notice something...strange. Or rather, he began to notice something strange in town. Coma patients around the village when they were supposed to be in hospital.
He began to film these patients using his cellphone, and reported it to the head doctor of the coma ward. After she disbelieved his story, he continued filming them in hopes of proving the story to someone else. While doing this, he met The Doctor.
Who wants to know why Rory is busying himself filming coma patients when there is a flying saucer in the sky. It's a fair question that Rory does not really have an answer to. But he is surprised to see Amy with the Doctor, and this is when he realises that this doctor is in fact her Raggedy Doctor.
Who saves the day, of course. Not that Rory doesn't help. His photos of the coma patients, which turn out to be less the coma patents and more an alien borrowing their images, prove integral to saving the world.
And it's nice, to save the world.
The Doctor leaves, of course, and over the next two years Rory and Amy continued to date. This culiminated in him asking her to marry him. And she said yes.
A few months after asking her this, unknown to Rory, The Doctor returned. Absconded with her, so to speak, on a series of adventures and returned on the same night.
Time travel. Hell of a thing.
For Rory, this was the night of his Stag party, and he was down at the local pub having a good time and leaving messages for Amy. Because he loves her, and he needs her to know that. A lot.
And then the Doctor appeared. Or, rather, popped out of his stag cake, telling Rory all about how Amy kissed him, and that Rory needed to come with him to fix it. In front of his friends.
So that was great. Wonderful. What a joyous occasion for Rory on the night before his wedding day.
Without much warning or really an explanation at all, Rory was taken to sixteenth century Venice for a romantic getaway with Amy. Sort of a pre-wedding honeymoon. Or a date. A bit of fun which quickly turned into (yet again) an adventure when they discovered aliens disguised as humans disguised as vampires plotting to sink the city and transform the women into aliens. Sort of a Mars needs women type of situation, except the aliens were giant fishies.
Of course they managed to stop then, and Rory was invited join Amy and the Doctor. They had all the time in the world before their wedding, after all.
Time travel. Hell of a thing.
Rory was not, however, totally sure that Amy wanted to be with him over the Doctor. Not until the TARDIS was infested with psychic pollen, creating odd dream universes where Amy chose a life with Rory over a life with the Doctor. Or no life at all, over a life with no Rory.
Then he was sure. And it was...startling. Him over the Raggedy Doctor who could travel in time and space.
And then came Cwmtaff. Wales. 2020. A mining village where the dead keep getting sucked into the earth. Where an errant drillbit awakens Earth's original inhabitants, The Silurians. Where they manage to stop a war between humans and Silurians.
Where Amy spots a crack in a wall, a crack where time and space should not have met but have. A crack glowing with a light that shouldn't be.
Where the Doctor and Amy are shot at by a rogue alien, and Rory pushes them aside to save their lives. Where he's shot in the process, and as he lies there and dies he is consumed by the crack in time and space.
Consumed and his existance erased from history.
No Amy and Rory. No Rory and the Doctor. Just Amy and the Doctor. No Rory at all, save The Doctor's memories of him.
No Rory at all.
PERSONALITY:
At first sight, Rory generally tends to seem a bit easily intimidated and more than easily unsettled by the things that happen around or because of the Doctor or odd events in general.
But he is almost always able to overcome this intimidation, this unsettled feeling in order to do what needs to be one to help people. Such as helping Amy clear the hospital when the Doctor is attempting to save the Earth, or trying to keep a Silurian woman alive while The Doctor attempts to free hostages.
Or keeping a record of his coma patients apearing outside the hospital in order to figure out what is going on with that.
He is capable of great acts of bravery, having dueled with a 'vampire' in order to keep his fiance safe. He would do anything to keep her safe, up to and including leaping in front of guns being shot off.
He wants to spend the rest of his life with Amy, loving her that much. Be it in the TARDIS on constant adventures or having a peaceful little life in Upper Leadworth.
His relationship with the Doctor was, at first, a bit antagonistic. At least on his end. He did not trust the Doctor, and was angry about how his way of life could get Amy or himself killed.
You know what's dangerous about you? It's not that you make people take risks, it's that you make them want to impress you. You make it so they don't want to let you down. You have no idea how dangerous you make people to themselves when you're around.
Eventually, they became sort of wary friends, to the point where when The Doctor was attempting to keep Amy from forgetting Rory, he described him as 'funny' and 'fantastic'.
POWER:
Rory is able to temporarily alter reality within a one block radius surrounding him with a time limit of twenty minutes. What this means is that he can make the reality in that one block radius anything he wants for exactly twenty minutes, be it cartoon-style houses, cars and animals that 'talk' or 'Suddenly Everything's In The 90s'. In a villain's hands, this ability would probably be fairly dangerous (see the novel "The Regulators"), but since Rory is generally a very nice man? Pretty benign.
The ability to leech energy from the earth and things that grow from the earth in order to heal wounds. Something which, no doubt, will come in handy considering where in the series he is coming from.
[CHARACTER SAMPLES]
COMMUNITY POST (FIRST PERSON) SAMPLE:
I don't know anything about this war. I don't...I don't know anything about being a hero. If you wanted a hero, you should've brought The Doctor. Though, maybe 'hero' isn't the right term there, maybe the term there that you want is 'Oh, oops, I accidentally bungled in and messed things up, now I'll fix it and hope no one notices half the problems were my fault to begin with would you like a ride on my fancy space phone voorp voorp voorp.'
...okaaay, all right, okay, maybe that's not fair. Maybe that's only 10% of the time. Still...right, anyway. You lot probably don't care. It doesn't matter anyway. I'm...kind of...off topic anyway. How many people brought here even end up playing hero? Is there like a known percentage? Why doesn't the uh...thing send people who don't play hero away? Or does it?
...does it?
[ Rambling Rory is rambling ]
Um. Well. Okay. Question. So this place is called The City, but obviously it's New York. Or something. And I can't find Leadworth on the google maps. Is it possible that it has some kind of ridiculously un-creative name in this world like 'The Village' or 'Hey Small Place'? How would I find something like that out?
LOGS POST (THIRD PERSON) SAMPLE:
Rory was sticking to the streets near the Porter building. Not because he didn't know where to go, because he did. Go to the MAC, they had said and he had looked up all the routes on how to get there and even thought all his money from from whatever-ith century Venice, he was fairly certain that he could manage to wrangle his way there either by walking or on the bus.
And it wasn't because he didn't know what to do, because he did. Find his way to the MAC, find someone to help him out, find out if there were any lasting side effects from being shot in the chest with a laser, etc etc and so forth. He had lots of things he needed to do, up to and including finding a job so he could eat.
And yet, he was sticking to the streets. Waiting. Wandering. Dawdling, as Amy would say. He was a dawdler and he was dawdling. Waiting. For Amy. For the Doctor. For anyone that he knew. At this point, he'd even take Alaya of all people, and she'd been the one who'd shot him. Killed him.
He'd rather have Amy.
So he was waiting. Or avoiding, rather. Avoiding having to go off and be without Amy, or even without the Doctor. Avoiding being alone in this strange place, stranger even than the TARDIS. Avoiding processing and thinking about what was happening with this. What the Porter had said to him.
Avoiding processing what had happened to him. Dying. The fact that not five seconds before coming here to this city...The City, he'd been dead. Actually completely and totally dead.
But now he wasn't. Now he was here, and LA was on fire and Leadworth...home didn't even exist. There was no Leadworth and no Doctor and no...
Amy. No Amy.
So he was avoiding. Dawdling. Wandering.
For now.
FINAL NOTES ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER:
I may need to canon update him if we discover things about him in the next two episodes.
