Name: real name:Arkytior alias:As with all Time Lords, she is known only by her alias Susan Foreman, it will take a very special person to learn her real name.
Gender: Female
Race: Time Lady
Faction: The Doctor's companion?Doctor's helper would be a nicer way to put it..
Age: 195 -appears 20-23 second incarnation
Personality: Intense, creepy and ever so slightly neuroritic, are some of the words that best describe this latest incarnation of Susan. She has grown out of the naivety she once had, but her intensity remains. She is known as a bit of a space invader, and will stand very close to everyone she is speaking with, her current short stature means she is constantly looking up at people, which can be very disconcerting to have someone seemingly staring up your nose while speaking to you. Her intensity tends to put people off, although some find it amusing. If she was human they would call her passionate but the fact that she bounces from one passion to the next in the space of a few seconds means people generally just call her weird.
Although the word creepy is often applied to her, this is mainly because she looks so young at the moment and fairly innocent and then says or does things which are not. For example she will hum some galfreyan nursery rhyme to herself while rigging something to explode. They are merely the whimsical nature of her personality but they do tend to crop up at odd times and make people think she is weirder or more sinister than she really is.
She sometimes speaks in an oddly affected manner that merely reflects the age of the Timelady is respect to the age that she appears. Having ended up in such a young physical form is disconcerting to her at times, as the body’s post pubescent chemical and neurological imbalances don’t mesh well with the stable adult mind, as a result her personality can at times seem a little manic and awkward. She can sometimes get irrationally angry about things, it generally comes on rather quickly, but is of short duration and while she has certain triggers that get her (getting left behind, cups without coasters, broken watches, people who put clothes on animals), just about anything can trigger a little rant. They are caused by momentary chemical balances as her new body and old mind try to find an uneasy equilibrium.
When it comes to neurotic however there are no two ways about it. She is defiantly that. She likes things a certain way, generally speaking this is her way. She likes her room totally neat, all of her wires and things are colour coded, everything gets fixed the moment it breaks, and heaven help the person who rearranges her music collection. (Despite what anyone says she has a system). It is one of the things that persisted through all of her regenerations – she blames her grandfather on it – he’s so chaotic –she is the opposite.
Susan is a kind and caring individual, but cross her and you will regret it. She has a quick temper on occasion and an even quicker tongue, especially if she feels she is being spoken down to because of her gender or the age she looks. She has an iron will and once her mind is fixed on something there is little anyone can do about it. She has 'the look' as her father calls it, when ever she makes up her mind on something her brow furrows, her lips purse and a slight dimple appears on her left cheek.
Unfortunately she is very sarcastic, even when she does not mean to be. She can make anything sound derisive and often does. She can hold her tongue when she needs to but it really is not that often. This fact is compounded when it is coupled with Marie's quick wit, she has a ready mind and as such reaches conclusions often before others and unfortunately likes to let people know it. Unlike some she has not yet taken to the passive approach and indeed is more like Jenny than one would imagine. A lifetime of fighting beside Dave has left her a warrior and with great stores of personal strength. She is generally in favour of the hit him now and ask questions later approach.
Despite all of this she has a truly sympathetic spirit in her own rather strange way. She is the kind of person who would find an injured rattle snake on the side of the road, take it home, nurse it back to health then be surprised when it bit her. Except in that instance it was a sycorax child, and it attempted to eviscerate her.
Abilities/Skills:
Langauges:She can speak thousands of langauges, but no where near as many as older time lords, it doesnt help that she is stuck on the slow path. She obviously speaks her native langauge but knows bits of old high Gallifreyan, she is by no means fluent- mainly swear words.
Mechanics:She has a natural aptitude with machines, they tend to run a lot smoother for her than they do for say, her grandfather.Also she is one of the few,or last,people that can fly the TARDIS.If only they knew where to find it...
Time Lady:Susan, has a respiratory by-pass system and two hearts from being a Time Lady.Like all of her race she is slightly telepathic, with a high threshold for telepathic manipulation and control.
Martial Arts:She knows her grandfather wont be a fan of how good she has gotten at hand to hand combat - useful in the 22nd centurey.Also some weaponry proficiency, strategic, acrobatic, stealth, heightened reflexes, and precision timing.
Equipment:A minaturised astral map (gift from her father) field gravity detector -looks like a pocket watch, Piece of psychic paper and a Vortex Manipulator
History: Susan was one of the last generations of Time Lords to be born on old Galifrey, before the looms were destroyed or lost during the timewar. She had a reasonably normal childhood for what it was. She always loved travelling on the brief trips her parents allowed her to go on. When the time came for her to look into the untempered schism she became inspired, but her inspiration was one of duty. She longed to be exploring the stars and meeting all the species that dwelt there. She longed to fulfil the duties of the Time Lords. She was thrilled when she joined the Academy, absorbing all the information she could on the role of her people and her place in the wide universe and expanse of time. What the young ‘would-be-timelady’ did not know was that there were ‘concerns’ about her personality, her inability to form attachment, her desire for solitude and her seeming non-responsiveness to either censure or praise had led to talk of expulsion or worse fates.
When her grandfather, the Doctor, stole a TARDIS and took off, He took her with him and she gladly followed, unbeknownst to her saving her from being institutionalised on her homeworld. Glad to be out and experiencing what she had spent hours in the classroom studying. She took to it like a duck to water, and in true tradition of the Doctor there was plenty of running. Mainly this was due to the fact she travelled with her Grandfather, who was not exactly known for his safety precautions. They landed in 1960's earth, where the Doctor needed to fix the TARDIS after they had gotten into serious trouble on their previous adventures. They took the names Foreman, after the name of the junkyard in which the TARDIS had landed. Susan, insistent upon going to school and managed to attract the attention of her teachers, Ian and Barbara, after giving some unconventional answers in class that unfortunately gave away her unearthly origins. They came to the junkyard one evening to speak to her guardian in order to ask about her answers but upon arrival they discovered the TARDIS, and after a long winded explanation they ended up accompanying them on several trips both into the past and the future.
After an encounter with the Daleks, Susan met David Campbell. He was kind and gentle, and handsome as hell – she was instantly smitten. When it came time to leave, she returned to the TARDIS to find that the doctor had locked her out, intent on leaving her behind to ‘have her own life.’ She didn’t fully understand his reasons at the time, but he forced her to take the slow path, and now she wouldn’t have changed the life she had with David. They made a life together in his time, the 22nd century, where she in essence became a fighter. The issues that had been of so much concern to the people on Gallifrey, having been resolved, made her strong and an imaginative thinker in his time. She learned to fight along side him and while she never fully escaped her grandfathers pacifist, non-lethal legacy, she did become proficient in hand to hand combat and is a pretty decent shot should the occasion arise.
Susan and David had one child together, a half time lord, born thanks to the technology of David’s age, a son who was also named David, after his father. While she loved David, she was Gallifreyan and he was human, she didn’t age at the same rate that he did, didn’t change really, she stayed looking like the same young woman he had met all those years ago while he grew older and older. She had loved him until the day he died, at the ripe old age of 96, by that stage their son had taken his fathers place in their movement, but he was never fully trusted by the men, because of his strange mannerisms and frightening intellect. Her son died too trying to help the eight Doctor and Susan against the Daleks.After that the Doctor left Susan back to Earth.She had to deal alone with her son's death.
Now,she heard that the Doctor is in trouble and she plans to help him out,after all it is about time to reunite with her grandfather.She got Vortex Manipulator,after a nasty encounter with a Time Agent and used in order to find her Grandfather.
Roleplay Sample: It took only a moment before Susan found herself standing at the middle of a quite street.Breathing heavily,she almost felt so weird.She was knew at this Vortex Manipulator thing so it felt so weird."Bloody stupid thing."she muttered to her a Vortex Manipulator.She had already noticed that her Manipulator was a bit broken because it never got her were she wanted to go.She had to fix it soon but finding her grandfather was much more important."I better get used to it.."she sighted and looked around.Earth.Definitely Earth.The only question was When?.She blinked and scanned the area with her eyes,searching for clues that could help.There wasn't a soul in sight."Great.."she muttered."Just great!"she exclaimed and slapped her forehead."Well,done Susan!You ended up in the middle of nowhere.."she kept talking to herself as she continued walking around."Again!"she added firmly.She was really starting becoming like the Doctor.Ending up wherever she shouldn't be.
There were houses around.She decided to give it a try and walked towards one that seemed particularly old.She knocked the door three times before an old lady opened the door."What?"the woman exclaimed in a rather rude tone.Not really a strangers fan?"Hello,there!"Susan exclaimed and wore her friendly,warm smile"I am sorry if I disturb you,but can you,please,tell me what's the date?"she asked politely and narrowed her eyes."Oh!And where am I ?"she added and looked around at the peaceful street."Wha-?Oh!Are you lost?"the woman asked rather suspiciously "It's December 13th 2011!And you are at Belfast,Ireland?"she exclaimed rather offended by Susan's questions "Oh!I'm not lost.."she said thoughtfully.Not entirely.. she looked up and added once more politely"Thank you!"Susan turned her back at the old lady who looked at the young woman rather confused.Ireland!Great!He is certainly not here you idiotic thing!Where is the TARDIS when you need it?She turned into a darker corner and after she made sure that nobody was watching she pressed the button.Current destination?London..or at least she hoped so.
