Our campaign has thus far featured two original companions... Selene ACKRLY-017-346588 was born on sixty-fourth century Earth, a world in which technology was used to regulate or enhance nearly all aspects of life. Selene was trained as a mechanic and possesses uncanny technical abilities. She loves and is preoccupied by machines. After saving her father's life, the Doctor persuaded Selene to accompany him in the TARDIS. Her skills were essential in reviving the android Master, though this has resulted in a misguided attachment to him which seems set to culminate in her dismissal from the TARDIS. Mohana Sundraju lived her life as a royal courtesan in a twenty-third century Indian nation state. This arrangement allowed her to become highly cultured while living a life of luxury, though it also left her yearning for freedom and eager to explore. Mohana is a seductress with overwhelming powers of persuasion. During her adventures thus far she has been alternately intrigued and vexed by the mysterious figure of the Doctor. I've included links to the character sheets for each.

Given that the Doctor isn't a regular in my games I'm at loss to know if you mean 'PCs who aren't the Doctor' or supporting NPCs.

Apologises I should have made it clearer. PC companion(s) to the PC Time Lord(s) These are a group of Time Lords and companions characters from a campaign that I planned but never played. I submitted the campaign background to the Diary of Dr Who Role-Playing Games, so some of them may appear in the next issue (22). Aricypherkairekeshkalikretes (Cypher). A junior Time Lord of the Arcalian Chapter, Cypher is an historian as well as an expert TARDIS pilot and mechanic. He works for the Galactic History faculty of the Academy as a field technician - which basically means taking a cantankerous bunch of elderly academics to whichever planets and times they wish to study, and nursemaiding them while they're there. And sometimes, sneaking away without them noticing, to perform covert missions for the CIA. He likes to think of himself as a diplomat and a conciliator. Others prefer words like "conniver" and "con-man"... and that's just his friends. The words his enemies use are quite unprintable. Friends and enemies alike, however, would agree that he's primarily driven by the challenge of out-thinking and outwitting his opponents, using deception and charm rather than brute force. One of his proudest achievements at the Academy was to be accused of excessive deviousness by a Prydonian Cardinal. Argalenavaradnyaran (Galen). Cypher's younger brother and fellow Arcalian is his opposite in many ways. Honest to the point of bluntness and contemptuous of the politicking and backstabbing endemic to Time Lord society, he would probably have run off to join the Outsiders if he wasn't so enamored of technology, especially robotics, for which he has a substantial flair. Good-hearted, but impulsive and very inexperienced, he was exiled from Gallifrey a month after his graduation from the Academy, essentially for political reasons - he fought back against the Sontarans effectively enough to embarrass a lot of politicians who'd spent the invasion either hiding or collaborating. The Time Lords believe that he died when he attempted to escape, but in fact, he got away in a decommissioned Type 49 TARDIS. Gwyllgi. Galen's K9 unit. His appearance and personality are those of a standard K9 model, but he moves around on antigravs rather than treaded wheels, giving him a fair turn of speed and no problems with stairs or rough terrain. He also has a holographic Shimmer that allows him to appear as a spectral hellhound or - in later stories - a normal, albeit large, dog. Charlotte ("Charlie") Longwood. A Torchwood operative from 1923, Charlie is the daughter of a foreign office official. Or so she believed until she was about fifteen, when she realized that her father was actually a secret service agent. She was twenty when she was instrumental in uncovering a foreign spy ring that was using psychic powers to deal with entities from a parallel dimension, a case that also attracted the attention of Torchwood. Harry had always wanted to follow in her father's footsteps, but the chauvinism of the Foreign Office had denied her the chance. Torchwood wasn't so blinkered, and recognized her considerable talents. Cool and self-possessed, with a wryly ironic sense of humor, Charlie has an early-twentieth century Englishwoman's faith in the British Empire as a force for good in the world, but tempered with a burgeoning sense of responsibility for the well-being of humanity as a whole. Used to being underestimated and disregarded because of her sex, her shrewdly perceptive judgment of character comes, at least in part, from her refusal to take anyone for granted. Joel Pearce. A space pirate from the late 25th century, Joel is two parts crusader against injustice and one part swashbuckling adventurer. He satisfied both facets of his personality by fighting the oppressive IMC corporation in his own time, and their defeat left him looking for new challenges. Brave, reckless, streetwise, hot-headed and charming, his qualities sometimes make him almost as much of a liability as an asset, but as often as he exasperates them, his long-suffering comrades agree on the "almost" part - albeit sometimes through gritted teeth. Harry Bishop. A basically honest man forced into a life of burglary when he was framed for a crime he didn't commit, Harry met Galen and Cypher when he was looking for a lifestyle that provided the intellectual stimulation and excitement of a criminal career without the burden that that career placed on his conscience. The son of a Church of England vicar, he also hails from England in the 1920s. His superlative climbing skills, originally developed mountaineering in Snowdonia, facilitated both his escape from prison and his subsequent career as a cat burglar. Clever, inquisitive and resourceful, he's looking for some higher purpose for his life in the new vistas that travel in time and space has opened up. Andreas Roth. The group's recurring nemesis. A suave but ruthless leader of the Alexandrian Society criminal syndicate, Andreas Roth is the man responsible for "acquiring" its time-travel technology and leading its trans-temporal operations. See issue 21 of the Diary of Dr. Who Role-Playing for more on Andreas Roth and the Alexandrian Society.

Gulliver Peebles: Vislor Turlough's illegitimate son by a one night stand he had with a human girl from a nearby school. He's half human and half Trion. And the novels strongly imply that Trion was a pre-Rassilon [and thus pre-Time Lord] colony of the Gallifreyan Empire. He was kidnapped from early 21st century Earth by some alien and was rescued by the Time Lords Celeste and Quenkary. Being half Gallifreyan, he's got lots of telepathic skills, and [of course] the Black Guardian keeps saving his life in return for a few simple favors. He is also wanted by the Shadow Proclamation who keeps sending bounty hunters after him.
Seren Lywellen: Human girl from Lywell village in Whales. Worked as a combat engineer in UNIT until a mission to Hawaii got her infected with Vamperism. She was there removed from Earth by Quenkary to protect humanity. She's since gotten a bit more control of herself and developed an on again off again romantic relationship with Gulliver. She's also trying to create a peaceful vampire community on the world ship Destiny.
There are two other PCs but they are both Time Lord-ish. One is a Hawaiian Princess who used a Chameleon Arch to regenerate herself into a Gallifreyan Time Lady. The other is a human who was indoctrinated into House Paradox [aka Faction Paradox] and given a cheap Time Lord biodata upgrade.
