CHARACTER
Name: Ryotaro Dojima
Canon: Persona 4
Age: 41
Timeline: Shortly after Mitsuo was brought in
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality: If you were to ask Dojima what kind of person he is, he would tell you he's nothing but a simple country detective living alone with his daughter. While it's true to an extent and Dojima doesn't find himself all that interesting, there is way more to him than just that. On first looking at him, all signs point to Dojima being a workaholic. He spends long hours at work and barely any time at home with his daughter. It's clear that he is a man who values hard work and diligence and that he doesn't stop until he gets the job done, with a strong sense of justice to go along with it all.

Or at least those are the reasons he puts up for how hard he works. In reality, it's because of the death of his wife, Chisato, that has driven Dojima to spend long hours away from home. The reasons are plentiful though the two biggest and most relevant are the fact he feels guilty for not being able to find the person who killed his wife in a hit and run, and the fact that his daughter reminds him so much of his wife that it's painful for him to look at her. Dojima is so busy running from his problems and hiding that he neglects Nanako in favor of work.

That doesn't mean he doesn't love Nanako, though, he's just extremely bad at showing it. He claims to have left raising her up to his wife because she knew how to do it. Now that she's gone, he has no idea what he's doing and he has a hard time with it. He tries though, despite how much of a hard worker he is. Sometimes he brings Nanako presents and sometimes he promises to take her places- the only problem is more often than not, he has to cancel his plans for work without really stopping to think how it must make Nanako feel. He's convinced himself though, that Nanako will understand when she's older. That he did all his work for her, to make the world a safer place, even if that's an excuse to justify running from his real problems.

The arrival of his nephew was good for Dojima in the grand scheme of things. As the two of them grew closer, his nephew was able to help Dojima realize that he was really just running away from his problems and his family because he was afraid of losing them. With that realization came the determination to do things differently and not neglect Nanako in favor of seeking revenge. Overall, it showed that he really cared for her and that he felt guilty for being so distant, and that he cared a lot his nephew as well, who he came to grow very close to over the course of him staying with them.

All of his deep rooted issues aside, Dojima is a pretty nice guy underneath his rough exterior. He isn't always the best at expressing himself and he can have an abrasive air to him. For example, his daughter tends to think he's fighting with his nephew when the two of them talk because Dojima comes off like he's interrogating him. Dojima doesn't mean to and usually he actually means well by it, wanting to keep his nephew out of trouble. At times, he can have a pretty short temper, especially when his work is piling up, notably during the murder investigations. He tends to treat his partner, Adachi, with exasperation and annoyance, ordering him around and yelling at him when he lets things slip he shouldn't.

Which really leads into how serious he takes his job. Dojima has been a detective for years and because of this, he's a damn good detective. He's perceptive, like most detectives and because he's such a workaholic, he doesn't like stopping until cases are settled. He doesn't always get it right, falsely accusing his nephew and friends and being suspicious of them on more than one occasion, but he still gets there in the end. He takes great pride in his job and felt insulted when Naoto, a teenager, was brought in to help with the investigation because he felt it should have been left up to the professionals. In fact, it's only when things really hit the fan and Nanako is put in danger that Dojima stops feeling so strongly about the kids getting involved. Otherwise, he gets angry if people stick their noses where it doesn't belong.

Overall, Dojima ain't that bad of a guy. Sure, he has some temper issues on occasion and he can come off as grouchy, but who doesn't have those days? For the most part, it's all brought on by the stress of the investigation. Without those, he's a bit more relaxed and less likely to get annoyed by things. Of course, one doesn't really see him outside of that environment so it would probably be weird for people to see that he has a more relaxed, softer side. But he does! Even if it is buried pretty deep and not many people get to witness it.

Background: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Ryotaro_Dojima

Abilities: Dojima doesn't really have any special abilities or skills, aside from detective training and all that comes with that. He's pretty much your typical middle aged man as far as endurance and athletics go.

First Person: http://dear-mun.dreamwidth.org/10264548.html

Third Person:

It hit a little too close to home, the whole being kidnapped thing. Dojima couldn't help but wonder if he was a victim, at this rate. Was this what happened when someone was kidnapped and murdered? Was this what happened to that announcer and Saki Konishi? If whoever did this thought that they could kidnap him and get away with it, then they had another thing coming. Dojima wasn't going to just take that lying down.

But there was something different, he could feel it in his gut. Something about this wasn't like the cases back home. It was too... elaborate. No one had come back with stories of being taken to another city. No one had mentioned a train ride. None of it added up and none of it made a lick of sense. So no, Dojima didn't particularly believe that this had anything to do with the murders. But he wasn't exactly happy about being kidnapped at any rate.

Above everything, his biggest worry was Nanako. What would she do when he didn't come home from work? Of course she was used to that. But when the clock kept ticking and he stayed gone longer and longer, what would she do then? His nephew could look after her, yeah, but Dojima wasn't exactly pleased with that idea. Dojima trusted him, but he was her father. It was his responsibility to look after her. Nanako couldn't lose both parents, it just wasn't fair.

That was his biggest motivation to find out what was going on. Nanako. He had to get back to her no matter what. They could call in anyone else to solve the murder investigation, but they couldn't just call in another father for Nanako. Something about being dragged here was pretty eye opening in that regard.

CHARACTER
Name: The Doctor
Canon: Doctor Who
Age: Estimates vary on how old the Doctor actually is, apart from “old”. However, he appears to be to somewhere in his 30s.
Timeline: post “Embrace the Darkness”
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality: The simplest way to explain the Doctor’s Eighth incarnation is to say that he is one of the chattier Doctors. Admittedly, being talkative is a trait common to many Doctors, but the Eighth takes it very nearly to the logical extreme - he is more often found talking to himself than, to the point that at least one of his companions remarks that it’s entirely unlike him to silent. He’s also prone to what is either soliloquizing or thinking aloud - he recognizes it at as a bad habit, but can never seem to manage to stop doing it either. This habit is not much helped by the fact that the Doctor also has a habit of going off on tangents as they occur to him, much less the fact that he tends to have his head in the clouds at the best of times.

That said, Eight is no less brilliant than any of his other incarnation. It’s simply that this, like many other of the traits that tend to be common across multiple Doctors, tends to be very well hidden are the fact that he is not only fairly charming and polite, but also that he is - at best - a little bit distractible, at least when it comes to staying on a single topic of conversion. This is not much helped by the fact that his tendency to make sweeping gestures, and the fact that he tends to get more than a little loud when he’s either angry or excited - as evident largely towards the end of the TV movie, but also throughout the course of his audios.

The audios also begin to flesh this incarnation out a little more than what had otherwise been present in the movie. It’s here that we first see that there is more to him than otherwise thought. The best example of this comes in Seasons of Fear - when the local villain minorly injures Eight’s companion, the Doctor wastes absolutely no time in not only threatening him with more suffering than he might have wished for, but later throwing him quite literally off the top of a castle. This later proves to be one of the few things that can manage to stun him into silence - as he explains to his companion after a bit of prodding, he wasn’t at all considering that he might have killed the man in throwing him off as he had and given his preference to avoid violence at , it disturbs him to have come so close without even thinking about it. That said, once the Doctor has decided on a course of action, he will most certainly not give up. This is mostly in cases where the lives of people or worlds are in danger, but on least one occasion (The Chimes of Midnight) he refuses to let the villain in question - a sentient house - talk him into letting it live. Not only should the house never have been, it was also fueling it existence on death itself. That the life of his companion at the time also stood in the balance probably didn’t hurt either. If the Doctor truly cares for anyone, it’s the people he brings along with him.

However, the Doctor also has more than a few bad habits. The most notable of these is
fact that he seems to be almost unable to to help people in need. In fact, his sense of heroism is so strong that he has made more than one attempt to make a heroic sacrifice for the sake of his companion - as of Embrace the Darkness, she has begun to realize his habit of trying to make a dramatic sacrifice for her and absolutely no intention of letting him do so. However, this combined with Eight’s tendency to never to give up means that he is almost exceedingly willing to help even people he’s not so much as heard of before.

In times of strain, he also has something of a habit of resorting to sarcasm, largely in an attempt to distract himself from the situation at hand. Whether or not it actually works is another matter entirely, but even at the very end of his life, it’s still very much a habit of his - as the Sisterhood of Karn would be all too glad to attest to.

However, as the Eight Doctor’s life was pretty much a merry jaunt through paradoxes and parallel universes both, a somewhat more coherent rundown of the events of his life to date can be found here at his journal

CHARACTER
Name: The War Doctor. We're at the name and it's already complicated. None of the Doctors from 9 upwards count this one as a "Doctor" due to his actions. Even the War Doctor agrees with that. However, he's referred to by the end of Day of the Doctor by his name, and is listed as the War Doctor in all written formats. Just to make it even more complicated, upon regenerating into the War Doctor, he states he's a "Doctor no more" and is known to the Time Lords as the "Renegade". Apparently being the Doctor during the Time War and committing mass genocide gives you name-perks.
Canon: Doctor Who.
Age: Physically in his late sixties or early seventies. Mentally? Apparently not even he knows. The estimate would be in the late 800's early 900's but that is grasping at straws. The reason being that the Doctor can't keep his age right in his own head.
Timeline: Before his regeneration in Day of the Doctor. However, one thing to note is that he should not be able to remember attempting to save Gallifrey; it was a given that all the Doctors minus Eleven would forget the actions they had done that day due to separate time streams. So the War Doctor will have memories of the weapon and deciding to use it, and then being back in his TARDIS.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?:N/A

Personality: "War Doctor: No more."

The War Doctor, unlike his other selves, is most likely winner of the 'most grim Doctor' award. And that all boils down to the situation he has found himself in. Above all else, this Doctor is a fighter, a warrior. When the Eighth regenerated, it was with the determination that the next one be the warrior the Time War needed, and they didn't get it wrong. The War Doctor is smart and tactical, he's able to break into the Omega vault on Gallifrey and escape with The Moment with seemingly little issue. He knows what it is and what it does too, showing a grim determination to end the Time War. He's a tired Doctor, having seen a lot of things with the eyes he currently has. Upon his "birth" the War Doctor was actually young, which means that he's been in the War in that current incarnation for quite some time, lending credit to the fact he's smart enough to survive for that long in a desperate situation. He'd seen enough to know that killing all Time Lords and Daleks was the only way of saving the universe, showing that grim determination- that no matter how much he doesn't like it, and the fact it's going to kill him, he's going to do it.

"Tenth Doctor: You were The Doctor on the day it wasn't possible to get it right."

It's a known fact that the later incarnations of the Doctor shun the War Doctor, claiming that he isn't even a Doctor due to his actions. Not until the end of the movie of course. And it's something that the War Doctor actually agrees with. This Doctor is someone who looks before he leaps, mulling over actions before doing them. Whilst Ten and Eleven show kneejerk reactions, War Doctor is more just standing there, making pointed remarks on the other two's actions instead. Thus it comes back to the Time War. The War Doctor knows what he is doing is mass genocide. Even when he knows just how many billions of children there are on Gallifrey, or how it affects his later incarnations and their actions, he is still going to press that button. It is for the greater good. War Doctor knows what he's doing is heinous, there's no shame in admitting that. In fact, at one point he defends what was done, stating there was no choice in his actions. The War Doctor does not make excuses, and he sure doesn't gild the lily.

"War Doctor: Oh the pointing again. They're screwdrivers! What are you going to do? Assemble a cabinet at them?"

Time War aside, War Doctor does have personality other than the dark stuff. He is seemingly easily exasperated, especially by his two other selves and the things they come out with. War Doctor also has no issue in scolding the pair either. Timey-Wimey? The pair of them obviously need to stop acting like children. Even towards the end of the show, when the other two Doctor's shout out their 'battlecries', War Doctor can't help but roll his eyes and mutter "for God sake" before throwing in one of his own. The War Doctor has a serious frame of mind, and so the antics of his other selves appear childish and silly to him. It's not exactly a surprise though when this Doctor was born during the Time War to end it.

"Clara: Hang on, three of you in one cell and none of you thought to try the door?
War Doctor: It should have been locked.
Eleven: Yes, exactly. Why wasn't it locked?"


Despite the seriousness, the War Doctor does have some levity down there and it bubbles to the surface on occasion. When Ten is stating he is not wearing sand shoes, War Doctor is quick to jump in stating that they are. His sense of humour is dry, his sarcasm sharp. The War Doctor seems to like his quick witted comments, especially when it's directed at his older selves. It's not too often this happens, but it is there. And once it's revealed the destruction of Gallifrey doesn't happen, the War Doctor is much more relaxed, smiling and (still) enjoys tormenting his two older selves. He's fine with giving Clara a hug and a peck on the cheek, the weight is off his shoulders which shows that the War Doctor is carrying a heavy burden with the Time War event.

"War Doctor: We might as well get started. Help to pass the timey-wimey. Do you have to talk like children? What is it that makes you so ashamed of being a grown-up? Oh. The way you both look at me. I'm trying to think of a better word than "dread."

Overall, the War Doctor is a smart man. He knows exactly why the two others are looking at him with dread, making a point of bringing up the elephant in the room. There are moments where the actual Doctor in him shines through too, showing that he can make mad calculations in his mind. And despite being blunt and to the point, the War Doctor also knows when to keep his mouth shut. It would have been all to easy to say he hadn't destroyed Gallifrey yet, but that just wasn't on the cards. It was better to just take the negativity and blame for something he had not yet done, he'd deserve it in his mind. He can also be civilized when needed, being a complete gentleman for anyone that isn't the Doctor.
