The Engineer is my Time Lord in his 4th incarnation from a campaign I'm in. Whilst the campaign is on it's fifth seasson, The Engineer is only on his third as I played a slightly broken (He had points in 3 skills and two were over 7 from what I recall) human Boffin for the first two seasons who left after the second finale to join UNIT. I may post this character at a later date if people are interested in seeing how badly he was made. Now on the The Engineer.

Appearance
The Fourth Engineer is a male Time Lord who stands 188cm tall, with short brown hair who appears to be in his late 20s to early 30s. He has heterochromia, with his left eye being green, and his right eye being purple, which is a trait shared through all incarnations to date. He doesn't have a standard outfit. In historical settings he prefers to adopt local attire, however in the present and future he wears a dark overcoat usually over a shirt, however sometimes he may include a waistcoat underneath.
Background
The Engineer is currently 1323 years old, and his current incarnation is 289. He is a member of the Patrex Chapter.
He regenerated into his current incarnation when he fled the Time War, pursued by a Hunter-Killer Dalek drone which was pursuing her after she liberated several pieces of Dalek temporal weaponry. Whilst she was able to breach the Time Lock, it severely damaged her TARDIS, causing it to crashland on the planet Velna. The crashlanding caused her to regenerate. Unfortunately, due to the symbiotic link to the TARDIS, the fourth Engineer's brain was left in a post-regenerative state until Bestie, his Type 70, who's energy reserves were all but depleted, was able to repair herself. This took around 200 Earth years, or 149 Velna years.
The Engineer met the party in his post-regenerative state, with him regaining his memories in the third or fourth session. During the first few sessions, the Vulventien's led by Zan'Aradesh formed an equivalent organisation to UNIT, which the party worked for. Whilst we haven't returned since the first session where the TARDIS worked, the Engineer is officially their scientific advisor. In his first series we faced down a psychic enemy known as Mr Butterfly, where in the finale, we fought him on a psychic plain (Using Matrix rules) aided by projections of the Engineer's previous incarnations (Which I have backmade, and will post if people are interested). The following season featured us going to an alternate timeline, where several things had changed, most notably there was a war between the humans and Ice Warriors in the late 20th century which was ended by humans destroying Mars, and the Time Lords were still alive, and had no policy of non-interferance. During this arc, the Engineer stole several pieces of technology from the Time Lords and used it to rebuild an Eye of Harmony so his TARDIS now doesn't need rifts to refuel. The current season is ongoing, and we don't know what the arc villain is yet.
The reason the Engineer had the Time Agency as Adversaries and is wanted by them is because at an unspecified future point in the Engineer's timeline, they dismantle the Agency for corruption. This is at a point determined by the GM, and I don't even know what incarnation this will be
Stuff
The Engineer has an assorted bunch of clutter in his pockets, which includes a luminous egg (Works like a torch), Metabelis Three Crystal and a yo-yo.
His Gadget is a modified Sonic Screwdriver with the following traits
Special Gadget (4/4)
Advanced Controls (A custom negative trait which doubles the Tech Level penalty to use it)
Control (Major Good)
Open/Close (Minor Good)
Restriction (Minor Bad): Tricky Controls
Scan (Minor Good)
Transmit (Minor Good)
Weld (Minor Good)
He has a Modern TARDIS which I will write up if people are interested. Same with the build of the Vulventiens, which have a template.
