23 November, 1963, a Saturday afternoon around 5:30pm Greenwich Mean Time, the BBC interrupted their regular children's programming to bring the world a window onto a new kind of superhero. He was neither brawny, now quick with a gun, but a seemingly harmless, even crotchety old man with a walking stick and a keen mind. Little did the world know this was to begin the story of the greatest hero the Universe had ever known ... the humourous, the wily, the infamous Doctor.
Echo Spector - an extra-temporal being who shadows all the realities of time and space as part observer and part instigator. He acts as our MC in a place outside normal reality.
The First Doctor - an old man appearing in his late 60's with gray-white hair, a Victorian style wardrobe, walking stick and somewhat tetchy demeanor.
Ben Jackson - a 1960's Royal Navy seaman who left Earth to travel with the 2nd Doctor, Polly and Jamie McCrimmon. He is a classic leading man and action hero who has seen plenty of intergalactic adventure aboard the TARDIS.
The Second Doctor - a middle-aged man with a 60's style mop-top hairdo, baggy clothes resembling a train hopper, an interest in playing his recorder and a fun sense of humor. He is a classic Cosmic Clown.
Zoe Herriott (future version) - once a 21st century Astronomer who traveled with the 2nd Doctor before the timelords captured them, erased her memory and returned her to her life on the Space Wheel Observatory. She regained her memory when chance meeting the 10th Doctor and resumed traveling in the TARDIS. She has since settled on late 20th Century Earth before the time of great environmental upheaval and become a revolutionary environmentalist (Rainbow Warrior). She has spent the last decade fighting corrupt big businesses and more corrupt politicians in an effort to save the planet.
The Third Doctor - a spry middle-aged man with gray curly hair and a panache resembling the early James Bond's. He wears an opera cape with red silk lining, has a unique way with gadgets and carries a UNIT Security Badge. Why, he's not really sure.
Ace - a teenage rebellious girl who once traveled with the 7th Doctor. She wears 80's style clothing and has a wicked way with a baseball bat and Nitro 9.
Mysterious Man - a shadowy male figure only seen in shapes and weary words. He appears tired, possibly sick and confused, but intent on his mission. Whether that mission is for good or evil is unclear.
NOTES: This is a lightly scripted open improv game. The main setups/scenes are there, but experiment with the characters and rythm of the story to have fun.
Echo Spector clears away the last three pieces, this time setting them in their proper place on a table behind the Mysterious Man. The Man then pulls out three more figurines from his bag... one short with question mark clothing and an umbrella, two more looking very similar in Victorian clothing and young curly locks. But where one has a pleasant smile on his face, the other wears a scowl. The Man places the figurines on his table which is now seen to be a map of the continuum.
Doctor 7 arrives on Vision World where execs debate which shows to cancel. He must collect all the video tapes of Professor Who before it's cancelled.
Doctor 8 arrives in Amsterdam. He must get a map of all the hostels. He bumps into himself at the puppet show and mistakes him for Omega.
Doctor 8 (sim) arrives in Amsterdam. He must buy a marrionette at the puppet show. He sees himself and presumes it's Omega.
The first three Doctors and their companions have gone on a scavenger hunt. Now it's time for the next batch, but what is the goal of this intratemporal hunt? To join the group and get next week's script by e-mail, please use our web sign up page or e-mail AlxKeegan2@aol.com.
