//------------------------------// // Lord and Master (Appendix/Reference Guide) // Story: The World-Jumper // by NightmareDash //------------------------------// APPENDIX OF WHO The Time Lords- An ancient species who discovered the power of instantaneous travel in time and space. They are notable for having two hearts, a respiratory bypass system, and the ability to regenerate, or change and renew their bodies, to avoid death. Regeneration changes their appearance and mannerisms, but not their knowledge, memories or basic character. They are currently sealed in a pocket dimension after fighting the Time War, making Time Lords outside that dimension very few and far between. Notable Time Lords include the Doctor, the Master and the Rani. The Time War- A massive war fought between the Time Lords and the Daleks, a race of cybernetic killing machines who believed themselves inherently superior to all other life in the universe. Both were capable of time and space travel, allowing wartime atrocities beyond the scope of human comprehension to occur. The entire conflict was eventually time-locked, meaning no time traveler could enter or leave the time-space coordinates of the war. The war had two separate outcomes: originally, the War Doctor destroyed both sides to protect the rest of the universe, committing double genocide in the process and leaving him the last of his kind. But when the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors broke through the time-lock, they were able to alter events so that the Time Lords won the war: the Doctor(s) sealed their home planet (Gallifrey) in a pocket dimension, and the Daleks firing on it from all sides blew each other up. However, the Doctor would still remember the original course of events (him destroying both sides), at least until the point in his life when his eleventh incarnation intervened. The Doctor- "Never cruel or cowardly; never give up, never give in." A Time Lord who travels the galaxy, looking to help others and fight injustice. Polymath genius and experienced traveler. Travels with others, usually humans, known as his companions. Has had 13 different bodies or incarnations, each with its own unique personality and quirks. The First Doctor- William Hartnell. Ironically the oldest in appearance, this Doctor made up for physical frailness with a sharp mind. He was often domineering and self-righteous, although traveling with human companions mellowed this out to a degree, and brought out a more caring, compassionate side to him. Firmly opposed to using time travel to alter history, a belief his later incarnations would not share. The Second Doctor- Patrick Troughton. This Doctor was known as a "space hobo", wandering about in time and space and finding trouble wherever he went. Between an oversized fur coat and a penchant for playing the recorder, he acted the fool to deceive his enemies and intervene without being noticed. Known to get trapped in bases under siege by alien enemies. The Third Doctor- Jon Pertwee. An action hero worthy to go up against James Bond, this Doctor wouldn't just outwit his enemies, he would beat them senseless with Venusian Aikido. Exiled to 1970s Earth by the Time Lords for several years, he became the scientific advisor to the United Nations Intelligence Task Force (UNIT). Always had a new gadget up his sleeve to deal with alien menaces, and rode around in modified classic roadster "Bessie". The first Doctor to be shown in color, and the first to encounter the Master. The Fourth Doctor- Tom Baker. The quintessential classic Doctor; if you know any of them, you know Four. With an impractically (but sometimes very practically) long rainbow scarf and a bag of jelly babies in hand, the Fourth Doctor never took himself too seriously. Even when facing fearsome foes and threats to the galaxy, he was always ready with a witticism or wisecrack. Had the longest tenure of any Doctor, and still remains a fan favorite. The Fifth Doctor- Peter Davison. This Doctor was a young gentleman dressed like a cricketeer and wore a stalk of celery on his lapel. Chivalrous and kindhearted, he nevertheless found himself in some of the most bleak and desperate situations he had ever encountered. The Sixth Doctor- Colin Baker. Everything his predecessor wasn't: overbearing, self-righteous and prone to violence. Wore a garishly-colored patchwork jacket, representing how little he cared about your opinion of him (or anything else for that matter). Old Sixy was the most flamboyant Doctor of them all, and certainly the oddball of the lot. The first Doctor to encounter the Rani. The Seventh Doctor- Sylvester McCoy Beneath this spoons-playing, metaphor-mixing goofball was a dark chessmaster, manipulating friend and foe alike to achieve his end goal. Known as Time's Champion, this incarnation of the Doctor played for high stakes and was more often than not called to make the hard choices, crossing lines of morality for the sake of the greater good. The Eighth Doctor- Paul McGann. A lighter turn from his previous self, the Eighth Doctor was closer in personality to his fifth incarnation: a kindhearted traveler, always willing to help. He only appeared in the 1996 television movie Doctor Who, so there's not as much of him to play with as with other Doctors. --This is generally where the divide is made between "classic" and "modern" Doctors. -- The War Doctor- John Hurt. A truly dark incarnation of the Doctor who broke a (loose) code of pacifism and fought in the Time War against the Daleks. He made the impossible choice to use a Time Lord superweapon called the Moment to wipe out both the Time Lords and the Daleks entirely. Because of the time-lock and to avoid general Time War-related confusion, he will not be joining us in this adventure, but deserves mention all the same. The Ninth Doctor- Christopher Eccleston. The War Doctor's darkness carried over into his next incarnation, who was defined by his profound guilt for his actions during the Time War. This Doctor was no-nonsense and sometimes brutal, but free to explore the universe once more, he regained some of his previous wanderlust, boyish charm, and sense of humor. The Tenth Doctor- David Tennant. This Doctor was a dichotomy, halfway between joy and regret. He could be cheerful and enthusiastic at one moment, but get deadly serious the next. His rule was to give his enemies one chance, but after that all bets were off. Ten was quite a talker, and had more than his fair share of vocal quirks and catchphrases. A modern fan favorite, he actually deposed 4 for the top spot on several "best Doctor" polls, and there was much weeping of fangirls (and boys) when he left the role. "I don't want to go", indeed. The Eleventh Doctor- Matt Smith. If Nine was dark and Ten was halfway, Eleven was the other end of the scale. This Doctor was downright bubbly and boyish, keeping his hands as busy as his mouth when he talked. Rather than the traditional gamut of destruction-bringers or race-enslavers, he more often faced psychological threats, and many of his adventures dealt with the complicated nature of time itself. The Twelfth Doctor- Peter Capaldi. The incumbent Doctor, Twelve has bucked the trend of young and sexy and let his inner old man out again. This Doctor is very aloof, temperamental, and pragmatic to the point of callousness. Rough around the edges, and having abandoned his predecessors' charisma and sense of humor, he's really still trying to settle into the role. Stay tuned. The Master- John Simm. A rival Time Lord and the Doctor's archenemy, the Moriarty to his Holmes. Formerly the Doctor's childhood friend, the Master has been through a number of incarnations of his own, though with far less variety between them than the Doctor's. Arguably even smarter than the Doctor, he is ambitious and power-hungry, with the ultimate goal of ruling the universe. Used by the Time Lords as a soldier in the Time War, he escaped to the far future, then came back to present-day Earth, only to go back into the War to prevent the Time Lords from escaping the time-lock and destroying all of reality. Unlike the Doctor, the Master is more than happy to carry weapons; when he encountered the Third Doctor, his weapon of choice was a Tissue Compression Eliminator, which shrunk its victims in addition to killing them. Later on he adopted the laser screwdriver, a deadly equivalent to the Doctor's sonic screwdriver. The Rani- Kate O'Mara. A Time Lady, and another enemy of the Doctor's. She is a brilliant scientist and chemist, more skilled in some sciences than both the Doctor and the Master. Unlike the Master, her goal is the advancement of scientific knowledge, but her villainy lies in the fact that she values her research above any kind of morality. She has yet to appear in the modern television series. TARDIS- Time and Relative Dimension in Space. A Time Lord vehicle, capable of traveling through time and space. Uses dimensional manipulation to be bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. Almost all Time Lords possess one, including the Doctor, the Master and the Rani. Can camouflage itself as almost anything to blend into its environment, but the Doctor's is stuck as a 1950s police box. Makes a 'vworp vworp vworp' sound when it materializes and dematerializes. Sonic screwdriver- The Doctor's futuristic equivalent of Swiss Army Knife. Doesn't wound, maim or kill, but can do quite a few other things, including actually drive screws. Normally used to open locks, bugger with technology and scan things of all sorts. Like the Doctor, it goes through incarnations of its own, from a pen light to a sci-fi torque wrench to the scientific equivalent of a magic wand. The Void- Emptiness outside of time and space, the gap between universes. What separates our dimension, the Equestrian dimension and the Doctor Who dimension. REFERENCE GUIDE First reference is an easy one, not even Doctor Who. Pumped Up Kicks is a song by Foster The People "I learned to roundhouse kick from a Texas Ranger." Guess which one. Hint: starts with a W, ends with an alker. And now we begin the Whoniverse crossover! I figured the part up to Jack turning into a pony would serve as a good cold open, were this a real episode of Doctor Who, so I put the opening titles in where appropriate. Plus, it's great mood music for what's to come. But sadly, Catherine Tate will not be appearing in this adventure. "The Mane 6, shocked and slightly embarrassed at the sight of Jack as a pony..." Yes, I am referencing VeggieTales. This one is from "The Hairbrush Song". "No problem, here's how you build one." Reginald Barclay faces a similar problem (needing technology that doesn't exist yet) and responds the same way in Star Trek: The Next Generation's "The Nth Degree". "...code Bravo Alpha Delta Dash Whiskey Zero One Foxtrot, engage!" What's this spell in the NATO alphabet? BAD W01F, a corruption of BAD WOLF, the arc words for Series 1 of revived Doctor Who. That classic yellow roadster Jack spots? Bessie, the signature vehicle of the Third Doctor. Note the right-hand drive; it is a British car, after all. "His cells are very much like a normal pony's, but there are differences..." The differences she lists are the kind you could expect comparing a human to a Time Lord. When Ten meets Three, his behavior is very similar to when Ten met Five in the charity TV special Time Crash. Their later sonic screwdriver comparison also happens between Ten and Eleven in Day of the Doctor. "Well, I have worked with my own previous incarnations before..." In both The Three Doctors and The Five Doctors, in fact. More on those later. "A holographic image of a human female with very long hair and unhealthily tight leather pants..." Based on the Rani's costume in her first appearance, Mark of the Rani. She, the Doctor and the Master were indeed friends at the Time Lord Academy, part of a society called the Deca. As noted in Mark of the Rani, she once experimented on rats, causing them to grow very large, and one ate the Lord President's cat. This earned her an exile from Gallifrey. The Dalek Void Ship appears in Series 2, "Doomsday", the concept was long believed to be impossible, and it does in fact enable travel between alternate realities. Pinkie's 3D glasses while watching the holocorders are an indirect reference to Ten's iconic 3D glasses, which he wore in Series 2's "Army of Ghosts". According to some sources, TARDISes are grown rather than built. TARDIS coral is what the machines grow out of. Chameleon arches and micromatrixes (a term I invented) are important plot devices in Series 3's "Human Nature", "The Family of Blood", and later "Utopia". The Matrix (not that Matrix) is a Gallifreyan supercomputer that holds all the knowledge Time Lords have gathered across space and time, as well as the personalities of dead Time Lords (so I guess it is kinda that Matrix). Where else would a Time Lord store his personality while on the run than a micromatrix? The timey-wimey detector is straight out of "Blink", also from Series 3, and does in fact go "ding" when there's stuff (quoth the Doctor). The term "timey-wimey" has since become more popular than the device itself, for talking about complicated temporal physics that doesn't always make sense, and Three's reaction to it is much like the War Doctor's in Day of the Doctor. "Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow" is a lovely bit of technobabble filler associated with the Third Doctor, even though he only used the entire phrase once. Jack hears voices in his head just before he unleashes the Master. The same thing happens to Professor Yana in "Utopia". The string of chatter is all Master quotes (except the phrase in bold). "The drums" refers to the drumming the John Simm Master heard in his head. What it really is is too long to explain here. "Master of all matter" is what the Master specifically wishes to be master of, although this is a very flexible/unreliable goal. Every Master enjoyed having his name said to him, as it fed his massive ego. "Say something nice" is an anachronism, coming from a future Master known as Missy, or the Michelle Gomez Master. She wanted her victims to say something nice before she killed them. "Only hate keeps me alive" comes from the emaciated Peter Pratt Master, whose appearance beggars description. Nine was often called a soldier, given how much the Time War influenced him, but Twelve hates soldiers, so it's only natural they would fight. "You of all people should know I never stay dead for long!" The Anthony Ainley Master was in particular known for coming back from almost certainly-lethal situations to menace the Doctor again. Really, no one in fiction cheats death more than the Master. The Third Doctor did indeed once call the Master his "best enemy". The John Simm Master enjoyed watching Teletubbies, and the Delgado Master watched British puppet show The Clangers on one occasion, so the Master wouldn't mind so much becoming a cartoon character. Ten is meeting the Master after he thought he saw the Master die and not regenerate at the end of "Last of the Time Lords" (Series 3). But the Master was resurrected by a cult to reappear in "The End of Time", Ten's final story before regenerating. This Master comes from after the end of that story, where he went back into the Time War. For once, the Doctor and the Master are not on parallel timelines; the Master is meeting an earlier Doctor. The Master would also pickpocket the Doctor in the novel "Harvest of Time" (good read, for you Whovians). Three is "used to being TARDIS-less" because he started his tenure being exiled to Earth by the Time Lords, who forced him to regenerate and disabled his TARDIS for a time, unless they wanted to send him on an errand. "Don't worry, he pulled the same trick on me, with the micromatrix and the TARDIS-jacking." This happens to Ten at the end of "Utopia", and he also disables his own TARDIS with his sonic screwdriver. The Sixth Doctor was fond of exclaiming something at someone, then repeating the exclamation at even greater volume, as if in disbelief. He also had a penchant for verbosity. The Three Doctors was the first multi-Doctor story, for the program's 10th anniversary. "I am he, and he is me." This is a quote from The Three Doctors, though it is between Two and Three. Pinkie's attempt to finish the line with words from the Beatles song "I Am the Walrus" is exactly what companion Jo Grant tried to do the first time. "You may be a doctor, but I am the Doctor. The definite article, you might say." This is a quote from the Fourth Doctor's first story, Robot. It is almost a tradition that when Doctors meet, they bicker and squabble. With all 12 of them involved, we see plenty of that here. The Tissue Compression Eliminator the Master attacks numerous guards with was a favorite of the Delgado Master, and because he most frequently encountered the Third Doctor, the Master could expect to find a confiscated TCE on Three's TARDIS. "Shut up!" has become the Twelfth Doctor's unofficial catchphrase. "Stupid apes" is Nine's favorite diminutive term for the human race. "I say, aren't you being a little high-hooved, young stallion?" A paraphrase of one of the First Doctor's lines from the very first episode, An Unearthly Child. "Yes, I seem to be stuck up here." ... "So you're my replacements? A dandy and a clown..." Oh boy, this was a fun one I knew I had to work in from the start. It comes from The Three Doctors, and it's the First Doctor evaluating Three and Two, respectively. That really is the best multi-Doctor episode of the classic series, and I had to restrain myself from pulling too much material from it. Just watch. Due to a verbal tic on the part of older actor William Hartnell, the First Doctor would often end sentences with a demanding "Hmmmm?" "Oh no you don't!" is more or less a catchphrase of the John Simm Master. It's funny, because Three gets to use it in this story even before he does. "Listen to your Master." From "The End of Time". Eleven has a well-noted penchant for bow-ties and fezzes. Bessie's Turbo Drive was introduced in The Time Monster, shooting her along at ludicrous speeds even by modern standards. The Death Zone is where The Five Doctors took place, where one Master (the Ainley incarnation) encountered four Doctors at the behest of the Time Lords. Four employed a TARDIS randomiser at one time to keep him from being pursued through time and space by the Black Guardian (think space Satan). As implied, it made his trips completely random. During "The End of Time", the Master's body was slowly disintegrated because of a resurrection attempt gone wrong. In "Last of the Time Lords", the Doctor offers to take the Master on as a companion to travel with him. The Master refuses, of course. The idea of a time ram was also introduced in The Time Monster, and though never seen in actuality, was predicted to have devastating consequences. Ogrons are a species of alien mercenary best described simply as monkeys with guns. Yeah, they went over just as well as you can expect. "I'm not gonna let you send them to their deaths just so we can keep our hooves clean! They are more than pawns on your chessboard!" Seven's chessmaster tendencies earned the ire of other Doctors, who disproved of his ends-justify-the-means philosophy. "Allon-sy!" Ten's catchphrase, French for let's go. "I am the Master, and you will obey me." The Master is known for his downright hypnotic charm, and this was the phrase he often invoked to seal his control over someone. It also became more or less the Delgado Master's catchphrase. Getting lost in the corridors of the TARDIS has happened before, in The Invasion of Time and "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS" (Series 7). Three beats the crap out of Snips and Snails using Venusian Aikido, a defensive martial art involving pressure point attacks, momentum redirection, and lots of "Hai!"s. Speaking of which, "Venusian aikido, I do hope I didn't injure you." is a paraphrase from after a similar beatdown in The Green Death. "Although they were scientific instruments, not water pistols..." The War Doctor says something to this effect in Day of the Doctor. The Ninth Doctor never met the Master on-screen, and for that matter neither did Eleven. And the song the Master quotes is obviously the Beatles' "Revolution 9", probably the worst song the band ever produced (if you can even call it a song). "We've played this game across time and space, with companions and henchmen and robots and everything..." Indeed, the Master has met the Doctor's companions, the Doctor defeated the Master's henchmen (alien and human), and the Master once built a shape-changing robot called Kamelion, who the Doctor promptly reprogrammed and adopted as a companion (The King's Demons). " a big, friendly red button..." A big friendly button plays a part in "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS". "But anyway, room's about to explode, have fun. Bye bye!" Paraphrase from "Utopia". "...he probably tried to go... ...out-tru-da-window?" Bit harder to explain this one, just watch. With Nine and Ten meeting, I just couldn't resist. "Geronimo!" Eleven's catchphrase. 'Nuff said. Combining sonic devices to emit a sonic screech comes from "Partners in Crime" (Series 4) And then comes the Jekyll and Hyde reference. The Master does have a penchant for villainous music, and it fits him. And if nothing else, it's good foreshadowing. The Five Doctors again. Name-dropping for name-dropping's sake, I admit. Draconia, home of the feudal-Japanese-esque Draconians, appears in Frontier in Space. Fair warning, the Master-Ten scene is very big nod to the interesting relationship those two shared. "So long, and goodnight!" Or as you might recognize them, the last line of the My Chemical Romance song "Helena", and thus the last words the band ever sung live before breaking up. "...there was a whole year when I could've struck you dead whenever I felt like it." See "Last of the Time Lords". "You made the same mistake you made with the Nestenes..." The first appearance of the Master involved him allying himself with the Nestene Consciousness, against the Third Doctor. "...happy endings give me spectrox poisoning." Which is what killed the Fifth Doctor in The Caves of Androzani. Colin Baker's nickname for the Sixth Doctor is Old Sixy, and it seems to have caught on. Hypercubes appear in both The War Games and "The Doctor's Wife" (Series 6).
