The Cartographer

## Origin

“I’m the Doctor. I’m a Time Lord. I’m from the planet Gallifrey and the constellation of Kasterborous. I’m Nine hundred and three years old, and I’m the man who’s going to save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?” Long ago, in the Earth year of Two thousand and Seven, the cruise ship known as the Titanic, owned by Max Capricorn, flew above the planet Earth and was at threat to crash into the planet. But one man, the Time Lord known as the Doctor saved the ship from crashing and saved the planet from extinction. Eventually, footage of this very speech was recovered during investigations, and this footage circled around the universe until eventually ending up in the Gallifrey database. It was then viewed by a very young and impressionable Time Lord, who was inspired by it.

This young Time Lord’s original name was left behind long ago. Not out of hate of grief, but out of hope. She studied every piece of information she could uncover about the Doctor. Where his name comes from, who he was, what he had done. He had saved the universe many times, as well as winning the Time War. The Doctor was a living legend. And this young time lady wanted to be just like him.

From an early age, she had always shown signs of rebellion. She disliked the rules of the Time Lords, primarily of no intervention. She had felt that many species throughout the universe suffered and died in sorrow and misery and fear,and even though the Time Lords could prevent this, they didn’t. But due to threat of punishment, she begrudgingly followed them. Then she discovered the Doctor. A man so powerful and wise and intelligent that he could cause armies to run and hide just by looking at them the wrong way. She became inspired by the Doctor’s words and actions and held them to herself like religion.

She stole the same type of TARDIS, a Type 40, and flew away from Gallifrey. But as she flew through the vortex, she didn’t know where or when she was going. But being who she was, this Time Lord decided to go to the Doctor’s favorite planet, Earth, and arrived at the beginning of it’s creation. She thought it would be boring to just jump from year to year at random hoping to find her Hero. In this mindset, she decided to be methodical. She took the year of the Earth, 365.25 rotations, and jumped from year to year, creating physical, political, and many other types of maps. She had become the Cartographer. Of course she wasn’t just going to stand around and watch these catastrophes of history happen. Her first time saving the Earth was back when a massive egg was on a collision course with the Earth. At the time, the population was of Silurians, who were taking shelter from the eventual apocalypse. Instead of idling away and letting the egg crash into Earth, she used her TARDIS to tow the egg into a tidal locked orbit around the planet as a surrogate moon. But sadly, she her TARDIS didn't have enough power to save Mondas from being flung from orbit. She had felt guilt from this for a while, but eventually accepted it.

The Cartographer did many other saves of Earth as well. She found, many years later, that a Cyber Ship was on a collision course with the Earth. The resulting explosion initially would have been large enough to shake the planet apart, but by augmenting her TARDIS’s gravitational pull, she forced the collision into an alternate course where the explosion would not shake the planet apart, but rather force a planet wide artificial winter made up of ash debris, killing off the resident dinosaurs.

Those are simply a few examples. The Cartographer of course would never interfere with fixed points, but along her course of mapping each year of the planet, she would save a few people, whether it be the planet, or just a few. But as she traveled, there were more and more points where she nearly met the Doctor. As being the glorified fan girl she is, the Cartographer would never dare to meet him. All of these times she would either be too early in the Doctor’s time stream, or too nervous to speak to them.

## Strengths

Every Time Lord is known for having two abilities. Regeneration, and minimal Psychic powers. The Cartographer is no exception. She is capable of Regenerating Twelve times, with a total of Thirteen different faces. The Psychic abilities are very simple. If she can put her hands to the temples of a person’s head, she can see memories and leave messages for the recipient.

The Cartographer thinks of herself to be a normal Time Lord. In reality, due to the time she had spent among humans, she has learned to blend in with them.

## Weaknesses

Although she can replicate human behavior, this has done little to extinguish the typical Time Lord mindset of superiority. She believes she is better than humans in almost every aspect.
