I thought I may as well ask, seeing as I've had the idea for these two rattling around in my head for the past week and feel that they could make for some very interesting missions.
Writing sample (essentially the story of how the two agents got started at the PPC): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QAm3pNC5X7n6Wk06a-DjEhKeNbXfpkhLhC2gyqou5uo/edit?hl=enUS&authkey=CNX718YO
Name: The Fisherman
Age: 209, visually late 20s
Home Continuum: Doctor Who
Species: Time Lord
Department: Floaters
Division: Special Operations
Fandoms: Star Trek, Haruhi Suzumiya, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Death Note, My Little Pony: FIM, Half-Life, Portal, Silent Hill, Resident Evil
Weapons: Prefers to improvise weapons as and when they're needed
The Fisherman first encountered the PPC after his TARDIS was thrown out of the time vortex by an unknown entity and crash landed in a DoSAT equipment testing area. He was subsequently shot by a rogue humanoid entity and regenerated. It was soon established that returning him to his home continuum would prove difficult due to the Time War, and as such he was given the chance to join the PPC, a chance which he gladly took.
Following basic training, his TARDIS was upgraded to function as a Response Centre, and he was partnered with Agent Evie (see below), who just happened to be the rogue humanoid who shot him when he first crash landed. Despite the Fisherman's protests, the Marquis de Sod insisted that partnering the two was a good idea.
The Fisherman is relatively young for a Time Lord, and therefore does not have nearly as much knowledge or experience of the universe as some of the more famous members of his species. However, he likes to believe that he does, which can often lead to some rather embarrassing and/or dangerous situations. He does not share the aversion most Time Lords have to using weapons, but prefers to improvise his tools as the situation develops.
Name: Evie
Age: 24
Home Continuum: Portal
Species: Cybernetically augmented human
Department: Floaters
Division: Special Operations
Fandoms: Metroid, Dead Rising, Dead Space, Halo, Discworld, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, House MD, CSI, NCIS
Weapons: Integrated Portal 'turret gun' in left arm, also fond of close-combat weapons in continua where using a gun would be inappropriate
Evie is an anthropomorphic representation of GLaDOS rescued from a Portal fic. She was first taken to FicPsych and underwent extensive counselling and re-conditioning in an attempt to restrain and redirect her homicidal impulses. Doctor Freedenberg subsequently released her into the care of Agent Chase of the Department of Sufficiently Advanced Technology in order that her cybernetic systems could be taken care of.
Chase managed to reprogram much of Evie's bodily technology to ensure that she would have complete control over it, and that it would be more likely than not to interact peacefully with PPC technology.
Evie retains much of her non-humanoid counterpart's personality, and therefore has a sharp wit, is prone to making cutting sarcastic remarks and is extremely pragmatic. However, she has been trained to direct her more violent impulses toward enemies of canon, and has a particular hatred for relationship!Sues.
Just something I thought I'd add, I realise that having a Time Lord (or any similar such 'god'-like character) as an agent is recommended against, however, I believe that I've done enough to prevent him from becoming overpowered or able to solve problems trivially. Furthermore, the 'upgrades' to his TARDIS have ensured that it will not easily be used a Deus ex Machina (given that it's a miracle it works at all with the extras attached!).
If you have any further recommendations, please do tell me.
The fic I'm looking at sporking is this 'Haruhi Suzumiya' citrus-flavoured monster: <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5862786/1/OddExperiences">http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5862786/1/Odd_Experiences -
