Articles Project: Torchwood's Whovian Elections May 2015 - The Whovian Elections So Far


The Whovian Elections are now into their second phase – the vote for the candidate who will claim the victory of Protector of the Earth.

So the race is on.

The Election Process began with 9 Party’s each containing 5 candidates in each, which were after some serious voting on Facebook, not so much Twitter we noticed, that our 9 Candidates were finally elected to stand for their Party. 

There were a lot of surprises along the way; characters who we thought would romp home barely left the blocks whereas some we didn’t think would do so well, beat all other candidates hands down.

So what of Phase 2, how are the Candidates faring?

As per usual two of the most popular Torchwood characters are racing for the finish with only 2 votes between them, whereas the most confident Who candidate in phase 1 of the voting is barely kicking up any dust miles behind them, and the Time Lords, well, they’ve not left the starting blocks.  What’s happened there then?

The voting seems to have halted, possibly with the UK’s general elections taking centre stage on all television, radio and social networking sites, flooding everywhere with their mud slinging, hence why we thought a little light humour would be great for the Nation – of Whovians out there. 

As the voting is nearing its end – 5th May at 6pm GMT, we thought we’d keep the voting system simple on Twitter, as a lot of you are merely liking or retweeting the post we sent out, which doesn’t count towards a vote. 

For Facebook there is only one link which will give you the list of Party Candidates to vote for.  https://epoll.me/v/ACf-NWfxSIs

If you don’t have a Facebook account but still want to join in this is what you need to do.  Choose the party you wish to vote for, and copy and paste the link below the candidates poster and tweet it to us:
(eg.  @ProTorchwood Vote For #WhovianElections #JackHarkness #Immortals)

We will also accept @ProTorchwood #JackHarkness #Immortals at this late stage of the voting.  It couldn’t be simpler!  So what are you waiting for? 

Here are the Candidates and their Party’s again with links below to copy and paste or select merely the Party and the Candidate to tweet to us, to be sure that your vote counts.

Although the voting is visible on Facebook for the ePoll, that isn’t taking into account the votes from you guys on Twitter.  As the Polling closes at 6pm GMT, on 5th May, it may be the following day before all the results are gathered in and the announcement made – we also have the poster to make for that Candidate, and we of course would like to make a big song and dance about it – after all, we want our After Party!!!

Articles Whovian Elections - Meet the Party Candidates - Phase 2

 Meet the Party Candidates

& their Policies

Diolch yn fawr (thank you very much) to everyone who participated in the first part of the Whovian Election programme to choose the candidate for their Party.  The votes have all been counted from Twitter and Facebook and the results are thus:

Torchwood Team – Ianto Jones

Immortals – Captain Jack Harkness

Shapeshifters – Nostrovite

Armoured Division – Bannakaffalatta

Loyal Screamers – Donna Noble

Amicitia Canton Everett Delaware

Renegades – River Song

UNIT – Dr. Martha Jones

Gallifrey No More – The 10th Doctor

There were a lot of surprises during the Voting, some who we thought might have raised a few votes received none at all, whereas some we thought weren’t as popular galloped to the finishing line. 

Now the fun part begins.  Each of these Candidates needs their supporters, and so we’re looking to you guys to help raise the profile of the character.  Up for the challenge?

Interesting that Ianto Jones will be up against Captain Jack Harkness!!! Cue the innuendo squad!

What we’re looking for are the fans that will spread the word to all their buddies right across social networking sites to bring them to the Voting table, on our Facebook Page i.e. the ePolls.  This will be open from 9pm Sunday 26th April and end on 5th May at 6pm.  The votes will be counted and the winner duly elected as the Protector General of the Earth.  So there’s a lot to play for. 

But as ever we’ll keep a watchful eye on the Voting.  Please remember that if you haven’t got a Facebook account, but want to vote in the elections, you can still hashtag your vote on Twitter.

Now one other thing – this is all a bit of fun, to beat the blues of the UK’s general election.  We know you’re passionate about your favourite characters, but we don’t want any falling out amongst the fans, no fisticuffs at dawn. 

Dawn is a nice lass and doesn’t like folks picking on her or firing at Will!

Remember, if you want to vote for your favourite candidate, please use the links provided. 

The Armoured Division – Bannakaffalatta – Bannakaffalatta Happy!

A travelling Zocci on the cruiseliner Titanic, Bannakaffalatta, despite his diminutive height, has a soft spot for Astrid Peth, a waitress aboard the cruiseliner Titanic, owned by Max Capricorn.  A cyborg due to injuries, Bannakaffalatta is a likeable red spiky character who would sacrifice his own life to save others using his EMP source.

As part of his manifesto Bannakaffalatta plans to put an end to the discrimination that he and fellow cyborgs face on the planet Sto. 

He also wants increased funding for cybernetic research.

Twitter: #ProjectTorchwood Vote for #Bannakaffalatta #WhovianElections #TheArmouredDivisionParty


Gallifrey No More - The 10th Doctor – No Second Chances

With a strong attitude towards the Universe, the 10th Doctor is a very confident individual.  However, the often witty, empathetic and quirky Time Lord also has a darker side, should anyone wish to cross his path and threaten the livelihood of his friends, companions and planet Earth. 

He is a No Second Chance man and his policies are clear:

He wants NHS doctors to apologise – to oh so apologise, every time they lose a patient. 

With the ever increasing threat to mankind on planet Earth, the 10th Doctor wants first time offenders to receive One Warning.  Second time offenders are to be killed with a Satsuma!

Twitter: #ProjectTorchwood Vote for #10thDoctor #WhovianElections #GallifreyNoMoreParty


Shapeshifters Party – Nostrovite – Advocates of Free Love

Nostrovites are dangerous shape shifting alien creatures.  Never let them bite you.  They have an exo-biological insemination system for creating their young.  A Nostrovite bite can impregnate the host, planting an egg (non-sentient blastopheric mass) into the host’s bloodstream.  In 24 hours the female Nostrovite will seek out the host, rip them apart and free the young Nostrovite.  It’s not pretty! 

But taking that aside, (the ripping apart of the host), Nostrovites are family orientated.  Just view their mandate:

The Nostrovite want Free crèche facilities for all Mothers. 

They want Maternity Pay to equate to a living wage

And want the ban on large Nostrovite families lifted.

To Vote for the Nostrovite, please use the links below:

Twitter: #ProjectTorchwood Vote for #Nostrovite #WhovianElections #ShapeshiftersParty



The Immortals Party - Captain Jack Harkness - Ooh, the usual. Pizza. Ianto.  Save the world a couple of times!



Once a Time Agent manipulating history to eliminate rogue elements, Captain Jack Harkness, now runs a successful Torchwood faction, in honour of The Doctor, with whom Jack has travelled with on many an occasion.

Jack is fiercely protective of planet Earth, and along with his team, scavenges alien artefacts that wash up through the Rift.  Jack is a ‘fixed point in time’ and cannot die, making him the ideal candidate to go into areas where no mortal man can. 

When pressed for his political mandate, Jack replied “You do not want to know what I’m thinking right now.” Insisting that we did, he raised a brow, and broadened his grin.

Captain Jack Harkness, with his charming smile and boyish good looks can con the birds from the trees but he will defend the human race and fiercely protect those that he cares about, even if at times, protecting the human race may come at some personal cost to him. 

Jack’s policies are simple:
He would like to see the inheritance Tax on families of Immortal individuals scrapped.

He would also like to see £100,000 to go along with the Centenary Telegraph from the Queen. 

AND would also like to see Lube available on the NHS!!!

To vote for Captain Jack Harkness, please use the links:

Twitter#ProjectTorchwood Vote for #CaptainJackHarkness #WhovianElections #TheImmortalsParty



Loyal Screamers Party - Donna Noble – Doctor Donna!

Fiery tempered Donna Noble is louder than the average companion, quite outspoken, feisty and quite funny.  Donna has met many alien creatures in her time, her first being a rather large angry red spider – the Racnoss.  She travelled with the 10th Doctor on many adventures back in time and into the future, and during a battle with Daleks, during which Donna was trapped in the burning TARDIS, was transformed by the Doctor’s regeneration energy gaining the consciousness of the Time Lords.  She was able to save the Universe from Davros’ reality bomb.  However the Time Lord side of Donna’s brain was too much for her to handle and the Doctor had to remove it, erasing all the memories of her time with the Doctor.  However, not all is bad, some regenerative consciousness remained, enough to protect Donna from the transformation of all humans across the land, into the Master Race.  All hail to the Vespiform!

Donna’s mandate policy is simple, she wants to increase the minimum wage for all 180wpm Temping Staff!

Torchwood Party - Ianto Jones - That's what I love about Torchwood.  By day you're chasing the scum of the Universe, come midnight, you're the Wedding Fairy.

Loyal and faithful assistant to Captain Jack Harkness, Ianto began a relationship with the Captain after his girlfriend Lisa Hallett lost her battle to become completely human when her cybernetic side took over.  Ianto is a walking encyclopaedia, knowing everything there is to know about the tech, “I know everything.”  He told us.  “And it says so on the bottom of the screen!”

He is a meticulous man, quiet yet extremely loyal.  He also looks pretty hot in a red UNIT beret and he loves Captain Jack Harkness, which might pose a problem in their relationship as they’re both in the race to the finish.  When asked if Ianto thought Jack would play fair in the Whovian Elections, he told us.
   “He cheats, he always cheats.”

When asked about his Policies, Ianto was clear on what he wanted to achieve.

Policies:
An increase in minimum wage for Pizza Delivery Operatives.

Make Bisexual identity more prevalent and taught in schools

Ban Office Assistants from being the Coffee Boy!

Amicitia Party - Canton Everett Delaware – Agent with Attitude

Once an FBI agent Canton Everett Delaware III was kicked out of the organisation when he told them that he wanted to marry a man.  He’s not afraid to break the rules.  He’s a friend of the Doctor, pretending to rejoin the FBI in order to find the Doctor, Rory and Amy, in order to halt the Silent Invasion.
Canton is very much the LGBT campaigner and his policies are clear: 

Canton wants Marriage Equality NOW. 
Insurance Equality
Inheritance Equality.

To Vote for Canton follow the links below:

Twitter: #ProjectTorchwood Vote for #CantonEverettDelawareIII #WhovianElections #AmicitiaParty



Renegades Party – Professor River Song – Hello Sweetie!

It’s fair to say that Professor River Song, archaeologist, knows much more about the Doctor than any of his previous companions, she was after all married to him.  She was conceived in the TARDIS and raised with many Time Lord Skills, including that of Regeneration.  River is an enigmatic character, and very flirtatious.  She keeps a diary of her time spent with the Doctor where with each encounter the Doctor remembers her less and less.

River Song is an able pilot of the TARDIS, is nifty with the gadgets and is a born fighter, and can protect herself and her companions in time of trouble.  She too fiercely fights to protect those that she loves.

When we asked River about what it felt like travelling with the Doctor she told us:
   “When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it will never end.  But however hard you try, you can't run forever.  Everybody knows that everybody dies.  And nobody knows it like the Doctor.  But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark if he ever, for one moment, accepts it!”

River’s policy is simple:
She would like to see a decrease in the prison sentences for women who kill a good man.

To Vote for River follow the links below:

Twitter: #ProjectTorchwood Vote for #RiverSong #WhovianElections #RenegadesParty


UNIT Party – Dr. Martha Jones - This is Martha Jones representing the Unified Intelligence Taskforce on behalf of the human race

Dr Martha Jones has not only travelled with the Doctor, but was employed by UNIT after the Doctor put in a good word for her, AND has through her work with UNIT worked with Torchwood, uncovering the truth behind the work at the Pharm, and almost faced death after being attacked by a possessed gauntlet used to bring back Dr. Owen Harper. 

She has in her own words: “Travelled across the world. From the ruins of New York, to the fusion mills of China, right across the radiation pits of Europe. And everywhere I went I saw people just like you, living as slaves!”

During the Year that Never was, where only certain people aboard the Valiant would remember, Martha Jones saved the world from the tyranny that would see the Master control the Earth. Martha travelled upon the instructions of the Doctor, to save the world, and she did it, and she is a Legend, but she shrugs this title off, telling people that it was the Doctor who is the reason for why she walked the Earth, a man whose name is more important, yet not many have heard of him. 

But she also has a warning, for those who follow or wish to follow the Time Lord. 
   “You need to be careful, because you know the Doctor's wonderful and he's brilliant, but he's like fire. Stand too close and people get burned.”

Dr. Martha Jones’ policies are:

To scrap tuition fees for all including Trainee Medical Students!

Articles Whovian Elections by DJ Forrest

Whovian Elections

As Election Fever grips the Nation we thought it would be a great idea to create our own and with an arsenal of characters at our disposal, nine Parties to choose from, we selected our groups, and with great thanks to you guys for helping us decide which Time Lords and Companions were the most popular, we’ve finally selected 5 worthy candidates for each Party. 

All you guys have to do now, is select which one you want to stand for that Party out of the selections listed below. As you can see from our listing, Captain Jack Harkness and Dr. Martha Jones haven’t been forgotten. 

So for the first part of the Whovian Elections, please select your Candidate that you would like to see competing for the governing seat protecting Planet Earth.  The voting will start tonight and continue till Saturday 25th April, when the votes will be counted and the new Candidate will be announced on Sunday 26th and then the fun really begins. 

So until then, here are the Candidates and their links to post on Twitter.  If you have a Facebook account, head on over and LIKE our Facebook Page and add your choice to our ePoll.  The totals from this AND Twitter will be added together – Good Luck!

Meet the Party Candidates





Dalek Emperor (From Evil of the Daleks)

The Dalek Emperor is a vast monolithic structure built into the Dalek City of Skaro.  It wants nothing better than to spread the Dalek Factor throughout human history on Earth.  It’s a tough adversary that even a Civil war can’t destroy. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #ArmouredDivision #EmperorDalek


The Cyberman (From the 10th Planet)

The Cyberman was a human being once.  He came from the planet Mondas, Earth’s lost twin.  In order to survive, they’ve had to upgrade their bodies with artificial limbs and organs and alter their brains to think logically and without feeling.  They’re ultimate goal is to rid the Solar System of Earth as Mondas is draining too much energy from it, and stands a great risk of exploding if Earth isn’t destroyed.
The 10th Planet Cyberman wishes to implement a mandate to destroy Earth using a Z-Bomb, thus saving its own planet from destruction. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #ArmouredDivision #10thPlanetCyberman


Max Capricorn

CEO of Max Capricorn Cruiseliners for 176 years, Max is a wealthy but ruthless businessman who aims to grow richer with a plan to think the unthinkable, but only if he’s elected.  For now he offers the lucky voters an opportunity of travelling in his luxury cruiseliner Titanic  with him and see the wonders of the world outside of Earth’s orbit. Of course, Max will be travelling in his secure Omnistate Impact Chamber…just in case anything untoward happens to the ship…

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #ArmouredDivision #MaxCapricorn


Bannakaffalatta

A travelling Zocci on the cruiseliner Titanic, Bannakaffalatta, despite his diminutive height, has a soft spot for a certain waitress who works aboard it.  Astrid Peth.  A cyborg due to injuries, Bannakaffalatta is a likeable red spiky character who would sacrifice his own life to save others using his EMP source.

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #ArmouredDivision #Bannakaffalatta


The Gunslinger – Kahler Tek

Tek comes from Kahler.  He is currently on a mission to locate the scientist who disfigured him and his friends, turning them all into deadly assassins in a bid to end the 9 year war on Kahler.  He has a massive arsenal at his disposal, a cybernetic eye with telescopic lens, a laser blaster for an arm, he’s typically dressed as a gunslinger, earning the apt title by the Town called Mercy.  He wears a bandito shoulder belt with ammo, tough desert boots and a western style hat.  He has no need of a horse as he has short range teleportation abilities. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #ArmouredDivision #KahlerTek




The 4th Doctor

This incarnation of the Time Lord is dark although he often comes across as a buffoon, but he always manages to wrong foot his enemies and even his friends.  He wears a wide brimmed hat and a long scarf, and has a very sweet tooth, with a love of ‘Jelly Babies’ confectionary, always in his pocket.  He has vast knowledge of all things.  He created the K-9 Mark II after giving the first one to Leela back on Gallifrey.  He eventually gave the Mark 2 version to Romana.  Once instructed by the Time Lords to destroy the Daleks on Skaro, he found that he couldn’t bring himself to do it.  It went against his moral code to commit genocide.
This Doctor has seen many adversaries over the years, including the Zygons, Daleks, the Master, the Rutan, The Black Guardian, Cybermen, Sontarans, Meglos and Movellans to name but a few. And he has travelled with an array of wonderful companions from Leela, Romana, Adric, Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan, Nyssa, Tegan, as well as working with UNIT’s finest, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart who often calls the Doctor using a space-time telegraph system, when there’s the odd monster to deal with. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #GallifreyNoMore #4thDoctor


The 9th Doctor

This incarnation of the Doctor brought an end to the Great Time War, rendering him the last of the Time Lords, a weight that is incredibly hard to bear.  Unlike the Doctors before him, he dresses casually, a disguise that enables him to blend into the crowd.  Black leather jacket, tshirt and jeans, with boots, and a Northern accent, yet he is still alien, and often his outlook on life and priorities will differ from his companion Rose’s.  The 9th Doctor has already been inside Downing Street, and destroyed it, after a run in with the Slitheen family.  He dealt with them again when the last surviving member of the family turned her attention to Blaidd Drwg power station in Wales.  The Doctor was able to defeat her with his crew of Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith and Captain Jack Harkness.
The Time War has left him hollow inside and often he will deal with his opponents harshly especially if they do not heed his warnings. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #GallifreyNoMore #9thDoctor


The 10th Doctor

The 10th incarnation of the Doctor, witty, empathetic, confident and often quirky, enjoys life to the max, but he is also a dark and dangerous Time Lord, and not one to get on the wrong side of.  He is fiercely protective of his companions, friends and planet Earth.  He will give you only one chance to amend your ways.  Often he requires his companions to keep him in check as sometimes he forgets to be sincere, or less sarcastic, or brash.  But don’t be fooled by his mild manner, he can turn on a sixpence a mood that would cut the atmosphere like a knife.  He cuts a stride in a smart suit but his footwear would often see him as breaking with tradition in a comfortable pair of Converse sneakers. He has travelled with many companions, Rose, Donna, Martha, Captain Jack Harkness and most have broken his heart one way or another, so much so that he often prefers to travel alone.  He has a knack of analysing substances purely by taste!

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #GallifreyNoMore #10thDoctor


The 11th Doctor

The 11th incarnation is a young man with a wise old mind, often eccentric and sometimes quite naïve in his approach and manner.  He never takes dangerous situations seriously but when confronting the enemy, he can show a side far darker than they even suspect.  This Doctor has rebooted the entire Universe after flying the Pandorica prison box into his exploding TARDIS, an impossible feat for many.  He has travelled with memorable companions that still break his heart when he thinks of them.  He has faced far greater challenges including facing the worst of enemies, the Silence, a religious order desperate to prevent the revelation of the Doctor’s real name.

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #GallifreyNoMore #11thDoctor


The 12th Doctor

The 12th incarnation’s travelling companion could probably tell you more about this Doctor than perhaps he can.  Wild and full of wonder, he explores the universe with a curiosity of a child in a sweet shop.  He has little time for the pleasantries and can appear brash in his approach to people.  He is aware of the threats to the planet but has little consideration to those who get in his way in stopping it.  This Doctor is curious about where he’s seen his face before.  He has a lot of unanswered questions about himself.

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #GallifreyNoMore #12thDoctor




Broton - Zygon

The Zygons come from a planet that was destroyed many centuries ago.  They came to Earth after their ship crashed into Loch Ness, Scotland where it remained hidden for hundreds of years.  Broton wants to make the Earth the new homeworld of the Zygons.  They have a hideous slimy orange skin which can pack a punch strong enough to stun or kill if touched.  
They can assume the identity of any creature they come into contact with, keeping the original body alive in order to use the memories. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #Shapeshifters #Zygon


Nostrovite

Nostrovites are dangerous shape shifting alien creatures.  Never let them bite you.  They have an exo-biological insemination system for creating their young.  A Nostrovite bite can impregnate the host, planting an egg (non-sentient blastopheric mass) into the host’s bloodstream.  In 24 hours the female Nostrovite will seek out the host, rip them apart and free the young Nostrovite.  It’s not pretty!  It takes a lot to kill a Nostrovite; they move pretty fast and can impersonate any being in an instant.  When they’re cornered they will come out fighting and will take several shots to the body before giving in to death.  Although one very large gun will obliterate them from existence altogether, but they’re not always easily accessible unless you work for Torchwood!

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #Shapeshifters #Nostrovite


Prisoner Zero

Prisoner Zero is a serpent like creature with long sharp teeth.  It was a prisoner of the Atraxi and came to Earth through a crack in time, and hid in Amy Pond’s house. Prisoner Zero is a shape shifting multi form which has to psychically link itself with another life form before assuming their identity.  It is able to link psychically to a ward of unconscious patients in a coma ward, including any dreams that the patient’s are having. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #Shapeshifters #PrisonerZero


The Vespiform – Reverend Golightly

In late 1880 a Vespiform came to Earth from the hives of Silfrax galaxy and took the form of a man calling himself Christopher.  He fell in love with a woman called Lady Clemency Eddison.  They began a relationship which was cruelly cut short by the Delhi floods of 1885.  Lady Clemency, pregnant, returned to England and gave birth to a son, that she soon gave up for adoption.  The child grew up without knowledge of his identity and was christened Arnold Golightly. 
40 years later, Reverend Arnold Golightly, became aware of his Vespiform self, as the telepathic recorder jewel the Firestone that was contained within a heart shaped necklace, worn by Lady Clemency Addison, began to beam direct images into his brain, turning him from the calm rational thinker, into a murderer. 
Lady Clemency Addison was a fan of Agatha Christie novels and the murders were carried out in much the same fashion. 


Although Vespiforms do resemble giant wasps with a nasty stinger, not all Vespiforms are bad, but clearly the Reverend has a few issues he’s yet to get under control and an anger management class would be ideal.

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #Shapeshifters #Vespiform


The Rutan

Rutans are the sworn enemies of the Sontarans.  The come from the cold icy planet of Ruta 3 and resemble large glowing green jellyfish that can hover and shape shift into whatever beings they encounter.  One Rutan Scout was discovered at Fang Rock in the 20th Century by the Doctor and Leela. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #Shapeshifters #TheRutan




Captain Jack Harkness

Once a conman prepared to con the Doctor and Rose with an empty ambulance ship, Captain Jack Harkness is a reformed character.  After he was brought back to life by Rose and abandoned by the Doctor on Satellite 5, he had to make his way back to Earth, and back to the time when his time line and that of the Doctor’s would coincide.  He had a lot of unanswered questions, and the Doctor held all the answers.  Knowing he would have to wait 100 years for that to happen he took work with the Torchwood Institute in Cardiff and eventually became the leader of the organisation, hand picking his own team who scavenged alien artefacts that washed up through the Rift.  He eventually met up with the Doctor who broke the news that he was a ‘fixed point in time’.  Captain Jack Harkness, with his charming smile and boyish good looks can con the birds from the trees but he will defend the human race and fiercely protect those that he cares about, even if at times, protecting the human race may come at some personal cost to him. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #Immortals #CptJackHarkness


Abaddon – The Great Devourer

One of the greatest threats to mankind – Abaddon the Great Devourer has an insatiable appetite for life.  He can stalk across the world feasting on it, leaving only death in his wake.  Son of the Great Beast, Abaddon answers to nobody.  Bilis Manger is his only fan, a man who can manipulate others to do his bidding, to open the Rift and release the devourer of worlds.  Abaddon is an immortal being, and only one man can stop him if he is released from his chains. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #Immortals #Abaddon


The Black Guardian

The Black Guardian is a shape shifting being that thrives on evil and darkness.  He often has others do his bidding for him, agents including The Shadow.  The Black Guardian appears in times of great chaos in the Universe.  He seeks the Key to Time, and enlists the help of the Shadow to locate it, and waits for the Doctor to bring the final 5 segments.
He can appear at any time and in any shape, and has the power to manipulate those around him to do as he wishes.  He wears a black bird headdress and decorated black robes.  It’s unclear where he heralds from.  He’s a dangerous character and one to avoid at all costs. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #Immortals #BlackGuardian


The White Guardian

The White Guardian more notably known as the Guardian of Light in Time is an anthropomorphic character of order and good, in other words the flip side of the Black Guardian.  Or as the 5th Doctor once told him – the lesser of two evils.  The White Guardian sent the 4th Doctor and Romana I on a quest for the six segments of the Key to Time. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #Immortals #WhiteGuardian


Celestial Toymaker

The Celestial Toymaker lives outside of Space and time in a strange world where toys can come to life.  Any visitors who happen upon him, are set a series of childish, dangerous and often fatal challenges, which if they lose could see them, becoming trapped in the toymaker’s world for the rest of time.   The Celestial toymaker hates to lose and will often cheat and lie in order to win.  He leads an often isolated life and the games certainly make up for it.  When the 1st Doctor’s companions entered his world, they were faced with electrified hopscotch and deadly musical chairs in a game that could potentially keep them in the Toymakers world forever if they lost.  The Toymaker wears Chinese Mandarin style clothes, which are quite bright and colourful in design. 

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #Immortals #CelestialToymaker




Sarah Jane Smith – journalist/defender of Earth

Sarah Jane Smith is one of the Doctor’s closest companions, having travelled with 7 of the Doctor’s incarnations.  She has battled Cybermen, Daleks, met the creator Davros on Skaro with the 4th Doctor, dealt with Sontarans and Ice Warriors and helped the 10th Doctor and Rose with Mickey Smith deal with the Krillitanes at Deffry Vale High School.  A journalist at heart, if there’s a story out there, Sarah Jane will stop at nothing until she’s uncovered the truth.   

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #LoyalScreamers #SarahJaneSmith


Donna Noble – Office Temp

Fiery tempered Donna Noble is louder than the average companion, quite outspoken, feisty and quite funny.  Donna found herself in the TARDIS after the huon energy in her body was able to transport her to his ship.  Donna has met many alien creatures in her time, her first being a rather large angry red spider – the Racnoss.  She travelled with the 10th Doctor on many adventures back in time and into the future, and during a battle with Daleks, during which Donna was trapped in the burning TARDIS, was transformed by the Doctor’s regeneration energy gaining the consciousness of the Time Lords.  She was able to save the Universe from Davros’ reality bomb.  However the Time Lord side of Donna’s brain was too much for her to handle and the Doctor had to remove it, erasing all the memories of her time with the Doctor.  However, not all is bad, some regenerative consciousness remained, enough to protect Donna from the transformation of all humans across the land, into the Master Race.  All hail to the Vespiform!

@ProjectTorchwood Vote for your Candidate #WhovianElections #LoyalScreamers #DonnaNoble


Rose Tyler – Bad Wolf

Rose Tyler, shop girl until the 9th Doctor destroyed the building she once worked at, travelled with the Doctor on many of his adventures, bringing a more compassionate side to his nature.  She met many adversaries of the Doctor including a lone Dalek which through her touch developed human thoughts and feelings.  She destroyed the Dalek fleet after looking into the Time Vortex and brought Captain Jack Harkness back to life, but the power of the Time Vortex was too strong, and she brought Jack back permanently. 
Trapped in a parallel Universe, Rose finally finds a way of returning to the real world and locates the Doctor.  Through clues across the Universe, the big Bad Wolf returns, this time as a Torchwood agent, helping Donna make the right choice, helping the Doctor save the Universe from the Daleks, and returns home with the half human Time Lord grown from the hand in the jar, in the TARDIS.

Jamie McCrimmon


James Robert McCrimmon met the 2nd Doctor after the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden in 1746.  From the Highlands of Scotland, Jamie has met and travelled with two Doctors.  Jamie has seen some scary aliens in his time but wasn’t fazed by the Daleks, and was able to destroy a fair few of them.  When the Doctor was put on trial, Jamie was sent back to Scotland, his memory erased to only remember the first adventures he had with the Time Lord and not with the 6th.  He’s not extremely bright but he is certainly one of the bravest and a loyal companion.

Rory Williams

From Leadworth, England, male nurse, Rory Williams has seen many incredible things in his time with the Doctor.  He was quite timid and fearful when he first travelled with the 11th, afraid of all things that went bump in the night.  In many of his travels with the Doctor, he could compare notes with Captain Jack Harkness on the amount of times he has been killed and brought back to life. He is devoted to Amy even though at times it’s fair to say her eyes were only for the Doctor.  As an Auton, Rory’s love for Amy meant he waited two thousand years for her. 
Over the years he’s met and battled with many monsters from Silurians, Peg Dolls, the Silents, and the Headless monks.  He eventually married Amy.  They have one child together who grows up to become the renegade known as River Song!

Gwen Cooper

Gwen Elizabeth Cooper first met Torchwood when she worked as a WPC in Cardiff.  After the Retcon pill failed to wipe her memories of the events of the Life Knife and the Weevil and Captain Jack Harkness, she was later recruited into the organisation and has been loyal to Torchwood ever since.  Although initially unaware of the alien culture in Cardiff, Gwen has seen with her own eyes the dangers that lurk around every corner, on the surface and below ground, and even in the deep dark water of Cardiff Bay and out to sea.  Gwen has learnt to keep her association with Torchwood a secret from everyone she loves, until she had to tell her long suffering husband the truth.  Gwen was the first to discover that Jack couldn’t die, and the only one he trusted to take with him to defeat Abaddon. 
Gwen knows that great sacrifices have to be made to protect those that she loves, and so she wouldn’t think twice in pulling the trigger on Captain Jack Harkness in order to reset the balance.

Ianto Jones

Loyal and faithful assistant to Jack Harkness, Ianto began a relationship with the Captain after his girlfriend Lisa Hallett lost her battle to become completely human and her cybernetic side took over.  Ianto is a walking encyclopaedia, knowing everything there is to know about the tech, the Archives, the complete running’s of Torchwood, far better than even Jack (whose worked there longer).  He is an invaluable asset to the organisation.  He used to work for Torchwood One at Canary Wharf with his girlfriend Lisa Hallett.  After its destruction he moved to Cardiff and after a few attempts to be taken on by Jack, eventually won him around with a pterodactyl trapped in a warehouse. 
Although quiet and unassuming, Ianto is very meticulous, good with a stop watch, looks good in a red UNIT beret, and will do absolutely anything for Captain Jack Harkness.

Owen Harper

Dr. Owen Harper is a brilliant young medic with a terrible bedside manner.  Often bitter and sarcastic, he can’t see how much Toshiko Sato loves him and continues to play the field, sleeping with Gwen, adding another notch on his bedpost.  He falls in love with Diane Holmes, a pilot from the 1950s who flies through the Rift, but then after breaking his heart flies back in search of another opening.  Owen is bitter and heartbroken and does everything in his power to upset Jack to the point of firing him.  Reinstated he settles down to work and all is going well till he’s shot and killed by Professor Aaron Copley of the Pharm.  But all is not lost, as the second Resurrection Glove is used to bring him back, just like it brought back Suzie, only Owen, even after the glove is destroyed, survives.  Yet he cannot risk damaging himself, as a broken finger won’t heal, a cut won’t close.  He has to accept his new fate.  With enough air in his lungs allowing him to speak, he cannot eat, drink or breathe, so resuscitating a patient is completely out of the question!

Toshiko Sato

Japanese technical mastermind, Toshiko Sato has more than earned her place in Jack’s heart for her quick thinking during computer initiations, interlinking computer systems, over riding computer passwords and saving her fellow team mates whenever possible – all by knowing her way around a computerised system.  Saved by Jack from UNIT prison after she had stolen the plans for a top secret sonic manipulation device, creating a prototype with flawed plans, Jack saw something in her that nobody else could.  Toshiko was dedicated to finding solutions to problems.  Nothing was too big to handle, even if it took a while to crack a code, Toshiko would work on it till it was complete.  A lot of the devices used in Torchwood were created by Toshiko, after cannibalising alien tech they found, adapting the Rift Manipulator and building a time lock to keep the Hub safe inside a time bubble protecting them from a Dalek invasion.

Toshiko Sato was in love with Owen Harper and had been from their very first meeting but Owen never knew till it was too late.

Suzie Costello

Before her downward spiral into insanity, Suzie was Torchwood investigator and tech specialist and Captain Jack’s trusted Number Two.  However her obsession in using the Life Knife and Resurrection Glove, and her meetings with Max Tresilian of Pilgrim, led her to set a trap in order for Captain Jack Harkness to bring her back to life after she eventually pulled a gun on herself.  Using the life force from the Resurrection Glove that linked her to Gwen Cooper, Suzie was able to continue to live, while Gwen continued to grow weaker and suffer the agonising effects of a bullet wound to the head.

River Song

Conceived in the TARDIS, Melody Pond’s origin was Demon’s Run Asteroid.  She grew up with many Time Lord skills such as regeneration.  Unaware of whom she really is, the Doctor meets her in the wrong order of her life, so to keep track of her muddled adventures; River keeps a diary, which contains many Spoilers.  She is abducted as a child and conditioned to be the woman who kills the Doctor, by Madame Kovarian, and The Silence.  When she learns of her fate, especially after learning more about what kind of man the Doctor really is, she sacrifices the last of her regenerations to save him.  Much later she is arrested and imprisoned, but later pardoned, allowing her to have many more adventures.  When she meets the 10th Doctor she’s a travelling archaeology professor, but the 10th has no recollection of her, nor that he was once married to her.  But she knows everything about him – it’s in her diary!

The Master

The Master was the childhood friend of The Doctor.  They grew up together on Gallifrey but when they joined the Time Lord Academy and he stared into the Untempered Schism, he became quite mad.  He distanced himself from the Doctor, his mind turning towards evil and the constant drumming inside of his head drove him insane.  He was the flip side of the Doctor, he wanted anarchy and chaos, and sought alliances with various forces including Nestene Consciousness, Daleks, Axons and Sea Devils.  He became known to UNIT and Torchwood.  After he’d used up all of his regenerations and eventually died, the Time Lords revived his consciousness during the course of the Time War.  He was then resurrected to serve as the perfect warrior against the Daleks.  He was present when the Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform but fled to the end of the Universe to escape and made himself human in the process.  He was found on the Silver Devastation clutching a fob watch.  He later called himself Professor Yana, and worked in Malcassairo, developing a rocket that would take him and the people at the end of the Universe, to Utopia.  During a regeneration after a chance meeting with the 10th Doctor and his travelling companions, he stole the Doctor’s TARDIS and returned to Earth where he created an entire fake history about himself and stood for candidacy for Prime Minister in the General Elections.  And Won!  Will he win again this time?

Dr. Martha Jones

Dr Martha Jones worked at the Hope Hospital in London when she first met the 10th Doctor, and later travelled with him through Space and Time.  She had many adventures with him and was introduced to a number of his past travelling companions, namely Rose Tyler, through name only and Captain Jack Harkness through association at the end of the Universe.  She soon found herself working with Torchwood with her UNIT credentials, helping to solve the case involving the Pharm and became a temporary medic while Owen appeared too unstable to continue while he got to grips with his ‘dead but alive’ status.  She was aged to a near death like state by the Resurrection Glove when Owen was brought back to life, bringing with him Death in the form of Duroc.  When Duroc was defeated, she returned to normal.  She contacted Jack later on when working at CERN in Switzerland requiring his help in dealing with Ghost Entities. 
Martha has travelled with the 10th Doctor, and met previous companions.  She has been kept in a trancelike state while the Sontaran created a clone of her to infiltrate UNIT in order to use Earth as a breeding ground.  During the events that saw the Master in power across the world, she escaped the Valiant using Captain Jack’s Vortex Manipulator and travelled the world carrying out the Doctor’s instructions, walking across America, from the ruins of New York, to the Fusion Mines of China and across the Radiation Pits of Europe.  She was rumoured to be the only person who could kill the Master by using a gun that could kill Time Lords!
