So, I've been itching to join a Doctor Who 1x1 for a while. However, poking around these intchks, I've noticed a distinct lack of any number before Nine. Now, don't get me wrong, the new series is great, but I'd like a bit more variety. ^^ Now, I did say you might not need to have seen the Classic series. That kind of depends on which plot you're interested in, though. I'll get into that more in a second. But first, a few quick notes;
1) I'm in college, and classes can be hectic sometimes. My posts might come a bit slower, if that's ok with you.
2) I'd love to try something that's not a romance RP. That's not to say that I won't do romance, and we can go that route if you want, but in some cases I'd just love to see these characters interact and I wouldn't mind a plot more focused on their adventures. Also, I don't do smut.
3) I haven't seen all the Classic episodes. There's a lot of material to go through and I'm not quite there yet. I have been jumping around a bit, though, so I do have at least a general feel for all the Doctors and most of the companions.
4) I do not RP by PM. Threads, please.
For most of the ideas I have, I'm hoping to play one of the Doctors. Preferably either One, Four, Eight, or maybe Seven once I see more of his episodes. In all the ideas listed below, I'd like to play a Classic Doctor unless I specifically state otherwise.
Now, onto some of the plot ideas I had;
1) A Classic series Doctor meets one of the new series companions. This is one that those unfamiliar with the Classic series could jump into, and I think it would be fun to play out. Basically, what if a companion from the new series, after they already left the Doctor, happened to stumble across an earlier version of him? I'd be happy doing this with really any of the New Who companions, even if we may need to work a bit to justify how some of them could run into any Doctor again. Although I have a timey-whimey-spacey-wacey loophole that I think could work for Rose. And Donna, well... that's harder. I dunno, maybe a different face and TARDIS interior won't be as likely to bring back those old memories. And as for Amy and Rory, I never understood why Eleven couldn't ever meet them again anyway, so I'm fine completely ignoring that barrier (also they traveled with Eleven a bit more on-and-off, so we could easily say they ran into a Classic Doctor before the events of Angels Take Manhattan). Oh, and I also think this could work really well for not just main companions but also characters like River Song or Jack Harkness (they might be some of the most fun, actually). Also, we could make this work with a Classic companion who is after a particular Doctor's time, whichever characters we wind up choosing. In any case, I would like to play the Classic Doctor, most likely one of the incarnations listed above.
2) A Classic Doctor meets one of the new series Doctors. Sort of similar to the above idea, but with a later incarnation of the Doctor as opposed to a future companion. This is another one to have a lot of fun with and, maybe, you could still try this one even if you haven't seen the Classics. I mean, yes, technically the later Doctor should have all the memories of his previous versions, but just think of Day of the Doctor - how many times did Eleven so much as really mention or respond to anything he remembered Ten having done? I think you could still play Nine/Ten/Eleven/Twelve with just some basic background knowledge on whichever Classic Doctor we decide on. Still, it all depends on what you're comfortable with, I suppose.
3) A Classic Doctor and an OC companion. Fairly self-explanatory, and another that you don't really need to know about the Classics to have fun with. Just hop in my TARDIS and we'll go see the universe together. Would you like a jelly baby? :D
4) Any two Classic Doctors meeting up. Because these sorts of crossovers are always fun, right? Obviously though some knowledge of the old series would be helpful if you plan to play any Classic Doctor.
5) Something involving Four and Adric. Because this is my favorite Doctor/companion duo and I thought they were adorable together, but we hardly got to see any of them before Four regenerated into Five. Anything we can think of to expand on their adventures together would be great. In this case, though, I'd like to play Adric.
6) "Grandfather, you came back!" Hopefully if you know the Classics, you know what I'm referring to here. I'd love for a newer Doctor, preferably Twelve, to hop on over to Dalek-infested Earth and reunite with Susan. Ideally it would be after Susan spent a long time there, so probably at least 50 years after One first left her in 2151. Susan can either still be in the same incarnation she had when the Doctor left her, or she could've regenerated since then - preferably at the start of the RP, if we go that route. I would like to play Susan.
So, those are all the ideas I had. Feel free to comment if you're interested in any of them, even if you have suggestions for slight tweaks to these ideas. You can express interest either by PM or right here on this thread if you'd prefer. I'll post up some more ideas if any come to mind.
Allons-y!
