Roleplayers Wanted

A message from StarNet™ Communications:

Welcome, designated traveller, to the planet Elysium.

Here, on the fringe of the known universe, at the very edge of time and space itself, is everything you could ever need. A safe haven from the perils that lurk beyond, high among the stars. You may admire the skies in its tapestry of serene colour, watching each day as whole galaxies and civilisations slowly collapse above you while you’re locked safely away, or you could pass your time with the other limitless activities! Here, the entire planet is your oyster.

Well, up to a certain degree. There are secrets here on Elysium that could threaten untold amounts of things. What exactly is this planetoid hiding, and why is it stationed here exactly, right at the edge of time itself?

Everybody here on Elysium has a part to play, and everybody will play to the tune of whoever— or whatever— runs the planet from the Peacekeepers’ Tower.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

First and foremost, this is an 18+ plotted roleplay server based in the Doctor Who universe. (No NSFW)

Your chosen character(s) will all be arriving into Elysium City from the last point of your choosing, and will spawn within a pod located in one of the bays of the arrival zone. Here, they will be debriefed before access into the main city.

Your character(s) will also spawn with no technology other than the HoloPad, a holographic device provided to every single resident, and won’t be granted anything more unless their assigned jobs specifically desires it.

It’s strictly CANON ONLY, with no OCs, but we heavily encourage the use of canon characters from across all DW-related media (within reason). This is elaborated on more in the server rules, if you decide to join! Oh, and also, there are no duplicates of the same characters allowed. For example, there can’t be two Sixth Doctors (though there can be a Fifth Doctor and a Sixth Doctor!)!

Instead of having so many channels, some of which can be overwhelming to others or just be overall less organised, we’ve arranged most of the roleplaying channels into threads within their designated “zones”. This is for ease of access, and for the server to be more manageable to your own personal experience!

We hope that you’ll enjoy your stay here, and certainly pride ourselves on being an open and welcome community. We’d love to make friends with you! :) Current taken character list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-ya42kyTAwf6J-6WOC2ZKK9SiXWBf9ZRGmRMTxHGQG0 Server link: https://discord.gg/4JdxPk9ghg If you have any additional questions feel free to shoot an ask to this blog <3 <3

"How do you keep going?"

For days like this, Ruby Sunday.

I don't have a people.

I don't have a home.

But I don't have a job either.

I don’t have a boss or taxes or rent or bills to pay. I don't have a purpose or a cause or a mission, but I have... FREEDOM.

That's why I keep moving on, to see the next thing, and the next and the next.

Sometimes... it looks even better through your eyes.

Lady Vulca had to close the store today as we have had too many people stopping in for questions unrelated to the sale of our robes and accessories. I am so concerned I am going to try and get permission to work from home until this blows over. I don’t feel as if she will be safe alone with the baby 😞 I don’t know what I have done wrong here.

Lambda out.

Hey maybe people wouldn't ask you if you were a time lord if your url wasn't "gftimelord" lol (not mean)

/this is so very on time/ characters: Romana, Sartia (redemption verse) ship: Mana/Sartia and Romana/Leela/Narvin (conspiracyverse)

I believe this ask is from a year or so ago, which means I’m very much the not-timely one. 😅

Romana — Redemption Verse

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:

How I feel about this character: she is The Blorbo in whatever verse, but I've particularly enjoyed exploring her in the direct aftermath of Etra Prime in this verse. she pushes and pushes herself because she can't rest until the Dalek plan is stopped, until the prisoners are rescued. her trust issues are just as pronounced as in canon, but there's a slightly different flavor to them - because Sartia found and rescued her, Romana has all the more reason to believe that The Powers That Be on Gallifrey never really tried to find her. (since crucially, she doesn't know that Sartia only found her via working with Free Time and the Daleks.) she also has one (1) friend in the aftermath of Etra Prime, but it's a friend who sort of tried to kill her once, and she's swinging back and forth between holding Sartia at a distance and breaking down in front of her, as if daring her to use Romana's vulnerability against her. Romana is, as always, going through it <33

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: I feel like I should answer this only in the context of what's already happened in the verse, because we know who I ship with Romana in general. but at this point in redemption verse, it's really just Sartia - they have this terribly messy unspoken tension Thing going on that might be feelings and might be relief at having Someone, and they both are approaching their relationship as transactional, and Sartia's betrayal of Romana is haunting everything. and Something very nearly happened between them on the sofa late and night and that scene was so !!

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: at this point? Narvin, absolutely. I am fascinated by how she meets him much earlier and dislikes him much earlier - and it's a more personal, irrational dislike at this point. he is That CIA Agent who has seen her in a vulnerable position more than once, and she hates that. she very much wants to never see him again, but he keeps, unfortunately, turning up. and on the other hand, he is much more forgiving of her than in canon because he was the first person from Gallifrey who saw her only a couple days after she escaped, and he was there with her on Etra Prime during the mission and saw how she reacted and watched her push herself until she collapsed. them starting at this point where he's already seen her vulnerable, and she resents him deeply for it, is super interesting to me.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I don't really have any wishes for her personal story in this verse, because I want to just chase the ripple effect of the changes to canon. how will these different post-Etra Prime experiences impact her issues with trust and friendship? how will pushing for a mission to liberate Etra Prime - a mission that only succeeded because Sartia temporarily seized godlike power to wipe out the Daleks on Etra Prime - impact her as a politician going forward? how will not being the sole survivor of Etra Prime affect her? I dunno where these things could go, but when my writing brain kicks back into gear, I'm excited to find out.

Favorite friendship for this character: I mean, at this point it's Sartia, for all the reasons above. and my god it's a messy friendship, and Sartia is keeping massive secrets from Romana that would change everything, but she is also genuinely the only person looking out for Romana as a person right now. and Romana really needs that.

Sartia — Redemption Verse

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:

How I feel about this character: oh I am rooting for her so very much. yes, things are gonna get worse for her at some point before they have a chance of getting better better - because she has spun a massive lie, and that will come back to bite her eventually. but the reason that's gonna hurt is because she isn't lying anymore about her motivations. she's had her realization that the intensity of her resentment for Romana was unfair - Romana didn't mean to hurt her, while Sartia definitely meant to hurt Romana on Funderell. Sartia has chosen where her loyalties lie, she's genuinely trying to rebuild something with Romana. to confront her own past and carve out a place for herself on Gallifrey. there is no sinister agenda. but there was an agenda once - she was an agent of Free Time before her world was tipped sideways. just because you want to move on from your past doesn't mean your past will let you.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: *gestures at my response for Romana* although because there isn't anyone else I naturally ship with Sartia, it'll be really fun to see if any other shippy dynamics do develop. but yeah her thing with Romana is the main one - the intense teenage crush turned deep resentment turned Complicated.

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: Narvin is also a strong contender here, given that they've already tried to kill each other, which I find hilarious - but actually, for me it's Brax. I love that this AU being canon divergent is a plot point - that Sartia changed time through force of will without realizing it, and now the timeline's gone off the rails, and all of Brax's careful plans that rely on knowledge of this particular timeline are at risk of crumbling. I love how this creates an inherent rivalry between them, but only Brax is fully aware of it, at least for now. and the other thing that gets me about Sartia and Brax is that, yes, they have this methodical vs. impulsive clash happening, but it's not a clash of equals. they may be (consciously or not) battling each other for control of the timeline now, but once upon a time, she was his student, and she asked him for help, and he dismissed her. she was collateral damage in the timeline.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: as much as there's a painful angst factor if she also becomes friends with Leela and/or Narvin eventually, despite knowing that they're both Romana's Friend first.....I do hope someday she's able to make connections with people who aren't also deeply tangled up in Romana. I think it would be good for her.

Favorite friendship for this character: see everything above about Romana and Sartia, although I'm really intrigued to see what other friendships (with canon characters or not) she ends up having.

Mana/Sartia — Conspiracy Verse

002 | Send me a ship and I will tell you:

When I started shipping them: I mean, I already shipped Romana and Sartia in much messier ways, but Mana/Sartia was probably in my head when were first getting started with the verse. it's the innocent and sweet version of their relationship - first crushes, falling for your friend, no betrayals between them.

My thoughts: my children!! my main thought right now is that image of them grabbing each others’ hands on the steps of the presidential palace and running off into the night. they’ve been through so much, and they’re gonna go through even worse, but my god they are trying to look out for each other.

What makes me happy about them: Romana assumes their friendship is a lie on Sartia's end. Leela and Narvin are worried that whatever went wrong between prime universe Romana and Sartia will happen again. they’ve been thrown into another universe, they’ve had a big fight with each other. there is so much against them, and so many folks skeptical of their friendship. and they’re out here going fuck that, we’re sticking together. you’re my best friend. (I also love how Sartia has weird feelings about adult Romana’s potential love life, for reasons she has yet to unpack.)

What makes me sad about them: how they can never go home. they lost their world to the Daleks at such a young age. and their bond is so much more intense because of being survivors together, but it’s also a Lot to have one person be all that’s left of your world.

My wishlist: vampire hybrid Sartia and Pandora possessed Mana, of course, and all the inherent angst of both situations. I’m also super looking forward to them finding out what Sartia did to Romana in this universe, and how devastating that’s gonna be.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: they're like. the Time Lord equivalent of thirteen, so they've got plenty of time to end up with other people throughout their lives. but in the short term - I don't think there are any other kids their age in the story, unless I'm misremembering one of the OCs ages, and really, in this verse it wouldn't make narrative sense for them to end up with someone else.

My happily ever after for them: ooh now that’s a question. because they don’t have a home to go back to, but they’re always going to be out of place in this universe. possibly it’s them somehow being able to attend the Academy and then at some point running off to become renegades because they both still have that desire to see what’s out there. but while I can see them ending up not on Gallifrey (I have contemplated the idea of them being companions to the Doctor for a bit, and the Doctor experiencing the weirdness of hanging out with a teenage Romana and teenage Sartia—having actually been there on Funderell!), I dunno if they’ll get a lot of choice in the matter. especially if Sartia ends up part vampire.

Romana/Leela/Narvin — Conspiracy Verse

002 | Send me a ship and I will tell you:

When I started shipping them: well, they are fundamentally the same as canon ot3 up to the end of series 6, so the answer is “when I binged series 4-6 in a day in 2019 and my brain went ah about the three of them.”

My thoughts: loving the opportunity to explore their tangle of relationships post series 6! it’s one of the two really juicy time gaps in the audios, and I’ve done a lot of ot3-centric post-Enemy Lines writing, so. and because we’re actually exploring the ramifications of rebooting Gallifrey and the new stress this creates for everyone—they’re in this weird place of having to go go go, respond to whatever crisis is in front of them, keep things under control. while at the same time, the three of them suddenly being back on their original Gallifrey and all together is quite an adjustment after many months away and many months of Leela living separately and only barely speaking to the other two.

What makes me happy about them: I love writing them in this “there Something between each of them but they’ve got various levels of self-awareness about it and aren’t gonna talk about it regardless” stage. the complexity and intensity of feelings between pair of them is its own distinct Thing, and they have too much going on to really unpack any of it, and I love unfolding this slow burn Thing. (I also think it’s hilarious that Sartia strongly suspects there’s Something Going On between Romana and Leela, even if she can’t quite articulate what that is, and Mana just as strongly suspects that there’s Something Going On between Narvin and Leela, and they’re all not wrong.)

What makes me sad about them: oh, it’s similar to Romana/Sartia in redemption verse, in that there’s a Secret waiting to detonate. I know I’m an angst loving person, I know I’ve already written a “Romana finds out what Narvin did” fic, but I’m also enjoying the romcom-vibes-in-the-middle-of-a-crisis, and I’m rooting for them, and of course Romana has to find out eventually what Narvin did.

My wishlist: mainly I just want more scenes with the various ot3 pairings! it made a lot of sense to focus on mixing and matching them with the kids because new dynamics to explore, and those scenes have been so good. but now that the kids have run off and they’re not gonna find them for a while, we have an opportunity to have scenes between them that focus on other crises, beyond the AU kids at large, or that look back at what they’ve been through together and really poke at the layers of what their relationships are like now. and lean into that unresolved tension thing maybe…..

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: they’re really the only people they could each end up with (in this verse)—they don’t have that emotional closeness with anyone else. they’ve been through so much together, they like each other so much, even when they’re completely disagreeing. if later canon follows a similar path, there’s one option for Leela, but I don’t think this verse will ever get to that point—and even if it did reach the Time War, I don’t think events will play out the same way.

My happily ever after for them: oh, I don’t think they get a happily ever after—unless something really bonkers happens with the multiple universes, the time war’s already been set in motion. there is a tragic endgame (unless I start bringing in my post-time war fix it headcanons). and I think a happily-for-now for them would be something like what I wrote for them in my post-Enemy Lines fics, but in the context of this verse: the crises spawned by the memory wipe are addressed as best they can, and simmer down over time. Romana learns to trust that young Sartia won’t betray Mana, which is a big ask, but also the only way I think she’d ever somewhat relax about young Sartia being out there on the planet or in the universe. somehow Narvin’s secret comes out and it doesn’t ruin everything in the long term. possibly Romana is less of an asshole about taking over the CIA. Leela gets closer to finding a place where she fits on Gallifrey—where she’s not just a tool of the Time Lords, but also doesn’t have to leave her friends. feelings get confronted in one way or another, which would definitely be awkward and messy and very fun to write, but I am rooting for them.

Starter Call

Like or comment for a starter from the EoT!Master.

Cuz what's more christmassy than ye old Christmas special version of your favourite Time Lord criminal? ❤️❤️

[timelxrd-victorious]

Anyway, roleplayers in the Doctor Who RPC who are anti-Chibnall-era and hate the Timeless Child arc thinking that RTD (a Virgin New Adventures writer) is going to retcon away a massive love letter to the Cartmel Masterplan and other elements of the Wilderness Years expanded universe will forever be funny to me.

Chibnall did NOT invent the whole “the Doctor had several past incarnations BEFORE they were known as the Doctor and was a very important figure in the founding of Time Lord society” plotline, y’all.

And I will GLADLY take everything from Chibnall’s era over the complete and utter bullshit we got for almost a decade under Moffat.

Simplicity (open starter)

The Doctor was sitting between the open doors of the tardis admiring a sun set as he really did enjoy the simple things sometimes. He was wondering where the universe would take him next. He hoped that it would be exciting but he knew it would be he just hoped it wouldn’t be heartbreaking again. His hearts could only take so much. He could have sworn he heard someone however as he looked about.
