Character: The Master (Simm!) Fandom: Doctor Who Character Notes: History:
Just like every other Time Lord child, the Master looked into the Time Vortex to get admitted into the academy. Unlike every single other one of them, though, he heard the sound of drums. They never left, either, and the noise combined with nobody believing him about them drove him insane. Now, when he was in the Academy, he was best friends with the Doctor. Actually, genuinely best friends. They had a falling out, for one reason or another, and ever since relations have been strained at best. This could probably be traced back to the Master’s, you know, being evil. Also, one time the Doctor stole his sandwich, which is just not remotely on.
Something else was remotely on, though: The Time War. After the Master burned through all his extra lives and a few spares, the Time Lords revived him to fight in the war. He did for quite some time, but eventually the shit getting real hit too high a level for him to deal with. He responded by running away as far and as fast as he could. That place turned out to be the End of the Universe. With a handy dandy chameleon arch (hidden inside a hobwatch) around to turn him human, he forgot all about who he was, where he came from, and the drumming sound inside his head. Unfortunately for the universe but very fortunately for him, the Doctor came around and, in the process, helpfully reminded him. And by reminded him, we mean his companion pointed out the watch’s existence and the Master cracked it open to receive the prize inside: himself.
He stole the Doctor’s TARDIS and jumped back to London in the 2000s. He promptly made a name for himself. Literally. He went by Harold Saxon, married a woman named Lucy, took up a career in politics, and climbed the ladder all the way up to Prime Minister. Along the way, he invented the Archangel network, which connected all the mobile phones across the world. The only minor inconvenience was a signal that hitched a lift and brainwashed the masses to vote for him, but we all know nobody reads the contracts anyway, so who’s counting? With victory in hand, he promptly killed his cabinet and invited a nice, friendly race called the Toclafane over for dinner.
Well, if by nice, friendly dinner, you mean turned the Doctor’s TARDIS into a Paradox Machine so that the monstrous and mechanical future humans could come back in time and help him launch a new Gallifrey on Earth. Then, yes, exactly that kind of dinner. Oh, and he also decimated the entire population, captured and rapidly aged the Doctor, killed Captain Jack multiple times, abused his wife, destroyed entire swaths of the landscape, and danced to the Scissor Sisters. Clearly, these were all massive, horrible crimes that could not stand. In fact, his evil while ruling the Earth was so great that when the Doctor was inevitably restored and kicked his arse, he also erased the entire year the Master spent in charge. Only people on the flying ship the Valiant could remember.
This included Lucy. She shot the Master in the chest just as the Doctor convinced the others to back down. Out of mostly spite and a bit of refusing to be captured, he refused to regenerate and appeared to die. Well, and also because he created a cult just in case of emergencies such as these. And, wouldn’t you know, a few years and some MacGuffins later, that cult served their purpose and brought him back to life. Almost, anyway. Lucy (surprise!) turned up again and sabotaged it. This gave him the bonus powers of shooting lightning and physically chewing the scenery, but at the cost of his hit points. Around this time, he and the Doctor confronted each other again. This time it involved lightning bolts, mindmelding to prove the drums really do exist, and nostalgia over their childhood. Oh, and getting captured by shady government dudes via helicopter at the end. Can’t forget that.
The shady government dudes turned out to be the Naismiths, who found an Immortality Gate and wanted the Master to help make it work. Somehow this also involved a straight jacket and a bondage chair. Don’t ask. To make a long story short (too late!), the Doctor shows up and the Master sabotages the entire thing. See, the Gate heals people across the planet by using a specific body as a template. And the Master, well, he hijacks the entire thing by using his. This turns the entire population of earth into a race of, well, himself. The Master Race he calls it. The only humans to escape are Wilf (behind a glass case of radiation shielding) and Donna (because she’s half time lord).
It doesn’t last very long, and they all shortly have much bigger problems. The Time Lords are returning. On the last day of the Time War, Rassilon retroactively implanted a signal into the Master’s head when he was young. No prize for guessing what that is. But by using that signal and sending white point star, Rassilon and the Time Lords are able to create a link between Gallifrey and Earth. The Master opens the door and the Time Lords walk right through it. On the plus side, they undo the Master’s plot with the wave of a hand. On the other hand, they’re threatening to unleash a whole host of eldritch abominations and destroy time itself just by returning.
The Master has no real problems with that and goes to join them, but Rassilon rejects him. And by rejects him, we mean actually moves to kill him then and there. Would’ve worked, too, if the Doctor didn’t intervene and hold Rassilon at gunpoint. The Master starts urging the Doctor to fire, which causes a back and forth over who he’s aiming at. In the end, the Doctor picks a third option and destroys the white star diamond, thereby removing the Time Lords’ link with Earth. Rassilon threatens to kill the Doctor, but unluckily for him, the Master was wearing his heroic sacrifice and revenge hoodie today. He tells the Doctor to get out of the way, and then electroshocks Rassilon until the time bubble fades from view and takes him all with it.

He’s being taken from that time bubble.
