Toon Link

Toon Link (トゥーンリンク Tūn Rinku) is the cartoony, cel-shaded design of Link that first appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords and was prominently featured in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (matching the game's overall cel-shaded art style). He appears as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, based on the "Hero of Winds" seen in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and its direct sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

## Character description

Toon Link, like most of the "Links", is a different Link to that of Twilight Princess. Toon Link refers to the character from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. However, Toon Link's art style has been used for other Links in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.

In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, set hundreds of years after Ocarina of Time, the gods have flooded Hyrule, creating the Great Sea, encompassing the highest mountaintops of Hyrule. At the beginning of the game, Link's younger sister Aryll is captured by Helmaroc King, a giant masked bird controlled by the game's primary antagonist Ganondorf, the latter of which is searching for Princess Zelda. Link travels the Great Sea to rescue his sister and defeat the Helmaroc King; his quest intertwining with that of The King of Red Lions, who, after many trials, gives Link the title "Hero of Winds." Using the Wind Waker, a magical conductor's baton, he borrows the power of the gods to aid him in his quest. Link must eventually reassemble the Triforce of Courage to give him the power to fight Ganondorf. After Ganondorf's defeat, Hyrule drowns under the sea forever.

Sometime after, at the end of The Wind Waker, Link and Tetra sail for new lands. Their journeys are where The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass picks up. As the crew searches for new lands, they run into the Ghost Ship, which, when boarded, suddenly turns Tetra to stone, and teleports Link to the World of the Ocean King, where Tetra is imprisoned by Bellum. Link finds the Phantom Hourglass (an item that protects him from the life-draining magic coming from the Temple of the Ocean King), and carries it with him as he, Ciela, a fairy, and Linebeck, a cowardly and greedy captain, journey to various islands that bring him one step closer to defeating Bellum. Eventually, he claims the Phantom Sword and defeats Bellum, saving Tetra. Oshus, the Ocean King, is returned to his original form, and teleports Link and Tetra back to their own realm. Tetra's crew claims everything to be a dream (as only 10 minutes passed when they supposedly fell asleep, according to them), but Link still has the empty hourglass, and they see Linebeck's ship over at the horizon.

After the events of these games, Link and Tetra continued on to find a new land, which they settled in and called Hyrule. One-hundred years later, several references would be made to the Hero of Winds in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
Yuri Kozukata

Yuri Kozukata is the main character from the Fatal Frame series. She is the central protagonist of the fifth game in the series, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, she appears as an Assist Trophy. When summoned, she aims her Camera Obscura at fighters and takes a picture; the flash momentarily stuns the fighters, leaving them vulnerable, and gives them an effect that continues to damage the fighter, even after she disappears. Fighters under the effect have different expressions on their faces, ranging from fear, anger, and sadness.

She also appears as one of the game's collectible Spirits.

Sharkboy

**Sharkboy**is a supporting protagonist in *The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D* and a creation of Max's dreams, being one of his Personas. Originally the son of a marine biologist, Sharkboy became separated from his father when the outpost he and his father called home was destroyed in a vicious waterspout and grew up alongside a cabal of merciful sharks, mutating to become similar to them.
Ice Climbers

The Ice Climbers (アイスクライマー Aisu Kuraimā), are the pair of playable protagonists from the game Ice Climber, released in the pre-Super Mario Bros. era of NES games. When playing one player, the player plays as Popo (ポポ). When playing two player in Ice Climber, player one plays as Popo, while player two plays as Nana (ナナ). In both Melee and Brawl, both Ice Climbers appear, but only Popo is controlled, while Nana mimics the moves performed by Popo. However, color changes allow players to control Nana instead of Popo. Despite not being displayed, the CPU-controlled Climber in the Super Smash Bros. series, does indeed have his or her own separate percentage or stamina counter. This factor alone results in the Ice Climbers' extremely high learning curve for all the games they have appeared in, as players must ensure the safety of not one, but two characters at the same time.

## Character description

Both of the Ice Climbers are small in size. They both wield wooden mallets, which they used to whack enemies and break ice cubes. Both of them wear parkas; Popo's parka is blue, while Nana's is pink. They can also be identified by the patch of hair exposed from their hoods. Relationship-wise, several fans believed them to be siblings, or even spouses, despite their young appearance, but according to Nintendo, the nature of their relationship is up to the player's imagination. However, during Melee's development, it was said that Sakurai wanted them to be lovers.
Planet Drool

**Planet Drool** is the "collective unconscious" of humanity as represented in *The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D*, constructed from the dreams of humans and the main setting for the majority of the film. Planet Drool is a sprawling realm of indeterminate length populated by representations of the dark desires of humans, creatures native to the collective unconscious, and the personifications of human ideals.

## Sub-Locations in Planet Drool

### Eggmanland

**Eggmanland** is one of the first major locations of Planet Drool visited by Max and his Personas. Eggmanland is a massive theme park and electrical power station, as well as being the lair of George Lopez. The rides of Eggmanland are always moving and never stopping, meaning one can get no rest when placed on one. Lopez has these never-ending rides set up this way intentionally so as to prevent any children in Planet Drool from falling asleep, as their dreams have the potential to upset his consolidation of geopolitical and possibly electrical power.

### Bed of Power

The **Bed of Power** is the throne of Linus the Minus, from where he assists George Lopez in warping Planet Drool to their own desires. Max, Sharkboy, and Lavagirl are taken here once captured by the minions of Lopez, and receive a dressing down from Minus before he deposits them in a cage for later humiliation.

The Bed of Power is returned to by Max, who has over time mastered his abilities as a Persona user, where he challenges Minus to gladitorial combat in a bid to end his rule over the dream world. Both Max and Minus, each armed with Personas and Reverse Personas respectively, duel in a battle of wills, but ultimately Minus becomes weakened and attempts to end the duel by giving himself the high ground. Max, wishing for a peaceful resolution, boosts himself up to Minus's physical level and reasons with him that just because his dreams were destroyed, this does not mean he must destroy the dreams of others. Minus, and by extension Linus, has his change of heart and accepts the proposal of Max, ending their conflict - much to George Lopez's frustration.

Dream Journal

> "*He RUINED MY DREAM JOURNAL!*"
> ― Max
>
>

The **Dream Journal**is a journal that Max writes the contents of his vivid dreams in, and is one of Max's most prized possessions. It gets stolen by Linus early into the film and subsequently defaced by Linus's own deviously active imagination, leading to a confrontation amongst the two that causes Mister Electricidad to send them to the principal's office. The Dream Journal comes in handy during Max's trip to the dream world, guiding him and his companions.

The Doctor of Loss

***The Doctor*** was an incarnation of the Doctor that existed after the Twelfth Doctor, but before another Doctor, the previous Doctor and the Riley!Doctor.

## History

This Doctor watched her companion die, and wrote in her diary about whether she had the right to go back and change history to "fix a mistake." She deduced that she did not, but wondered "how much more" she could take. It is then implied that she did alter the timeline so that her companion never existed. (*Perfection*)

## Behind the Scenes

* This incarnation of the Doctor is played by Elisa Melendez, who appears with Mikey Neumann on Deep Dive and is also the voice of Tyreen Calypso in *Borderlands 3*.
* She is also one of the players in Hot Quest, a *Dungeons & Dragons* YouTube series GM'd by Ben Paddon.
* In the Doctor's chronology, The Doctor of Loss is the oldest incarnation of the Doctor not featured in the BBC series. She is also the second past non-BBC incarnation of the Doctor to be revealed.
* The Doctor of Loss was named as such in the Season 2 Credits released on December 4th, 2020.
Disneyland, CA

***Disneyland*** is a theme park located in Anaheim, CA.

## In The Game of Rassilon

After rescuing Millie from certain death in the depths of the sinking PACMISS complex, Roman took her to Disneyland's opening day on July 17th, 1955 to take a break from "the plan", and to also share information with her concerning the Doctor. This conversation was interrupted when Time Lord soldiers arrived en masse to arrest Roman. Roman used a Time Ring to send Millie away. While she escaped, Roman was captured by Maxil and taken back to Gallifrey. (*Roman Holiday]]*)

The arrival of dozens of TARDISes in one location caused a "Swiss Cheese" effect on time within the park, giving Disneyland a "timeless" feel. This, in turn, led to the opening of temporal rifts within the park. Somnivores in the shape of cats made their home there - they made an arrangement with "the Mustache Man" to take care of the rifts by feeding on the happiness and joy of park guests and converting it into psychic energy which would be used to keep the rifts closed.

However, with the closure of Disneyland in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, guests were no longer visiting the park, depriving the Somnivores of their source of food. One of the Somnivores, Charlie, went out in search of food. This then led three teenagers - Voss, Wil and Brendan - to the park, where they worked with the Somnivores to close the rifts. (*The Game of Classilon: Jinkies & Zoinks*)

## Behind the Scenes

* In reality, the only severe issue experienced during Disneyland's opening day were high volumes of attendees, and excessive heat causing the not-yet-settled asphalt to melt.
* Disneyland has the distinction of being a location (of group of locations) that has been referenced multiple times across *Doctor Who* media, though the Doctor themself has never actually been there.
* Within The Game of Rassilon, Millie and Roman are the only regular or recurring player characters to have been to Disneyland. Within Patreon one-shots, the Doctor, Travis and Carrie make a brief cameo at the end of *The Game of Classilon: Jinkies & Zoinks* continuing their search for Toontown.
Captain Greg Kinnear

***Captain Greg Kinnear*** is a Time Agent. He is played on the podcast by David Blue.

## Background

Very little is known about Kinnear's background, or whether "Greg Kinnear" is even his real name. When first encountered by the Doctor and Travis, he had been sent into Reyla's TARDIS much as they had. Kinnear's goal was to locate the Reaper Cortex - a mythical device that would allow the Time Lords to rewrite reality. Instead, however, Kinnear found an elderly Roman who revealed that the Cortex was never real, rather an idea Roman had come up with to divert Rassilon's attention to himself and away from the Doctor. (*Active Decay*)

During his time with the Doctor, Kinnear revealed he had lost a partner - Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Whether their partnership was professional or romantic is unknown, but his drive to save her led him to assemble a small crew - former Time Agent colleagues ZJ and Bill Pullman - and manipulate a time-space rift located in Tunguska in the early 20th century. He even went so far as to lie to the Doctor about his intentions and even the time spent there.

His desire to rescue her allowed an Alconost - a great bird from another plane of existence - to breach into reality. Kinnear and his crew worked with the Doctor and Carrie to close the rift and stop the Alconost. Kinnear left Earth with his crew still believing there was a way to rescue Mastrantonio. (*Cold Comfort*)

## Behind the Scenes

* Kinnear is the first guest PC on the show.
* Kinnear is named for actor Greg Kinnear. His crew are similarly named for actors Catherine Zeta-Jones and Bill Pullman, and
* David Blue originally met with Ben Paddon and Michael Nixon to determine the sort of character Blue would like to play. Much of the character was set during this meeting, however significant elements came through improvisation during play. The character of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, for example, was an off-handed joke David made during *Active Decay*.
Takahiro Sakurai

Takahiro Sakurai (櫻井 孝宏, Sakurai Takahiro, born June 13, 1974) is a Japanese voice actor from Aichi Prefecture, Japan. He is affiliated INTENTION.

Many of his roles are handsome men. However, he has also voiced reluctant heroes (such as Mega Man X) as well as the occasional villain (Maximilien Robespierre in Le Chevalier D'Eon, Hiltz in Zoids: Guardian Force and Sasori in Naruto Shippūden). Sometimes, he is also typecast to play angsty and arrogant young men (such as his famous rendition of Cloud Strife in Compilation of Final Fantasy VII). He starred in the gag anime Osomatsu-san as the titular character of Osomatsu. He also provided the voice of Edward Cullen in the Japanese dub adaptation of the Twilight Saga films.
First Doctor

The ***First Doctor*** is the earliest incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor. He was played in the 2018 Gallifrey One live show by Joseph Scrimshaw.

## Within The Game of Rassilon

The First Doctor had a previous, undocumented encounter with the Somnivores. (*Lethargica*)

### Non-canonical adventures

The First Doctor traveled briefly with companions Captain Jack Harkness, Vislor Turlough, and Nardole, during which time he was abducted by the Somnivores and placed into a dream state which simulated a 21st century cruise ship. The Doctor and his companions escaped and made short work of the Somnivores, preventing an invasion of Earth. (*Gallifrey One 2018 Live Show*)

## Behind the Scenes

* The encounter with the Somnivores alluded to in *Lethargica* is most likely the Gallifrey One 2018 Live Show, however as Gallifrey One live shows are not considered canonical to the podcast, this wiki takes the position that they are not the same event.
* Joseph Scrimshaw played the First Doctor in the live show largely as a befuddled but crotchety old man.

Roman Holiday

***Roman Holiday*** consists of part 3 of the sixth serial of first season of The Game of Rassilon. It takes place after the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, following her and Roman's side of events leading up to the season 1 finale.

## Synopsis

Millie and the Doctor's old friend have a fateful conversation in the most magical place on Earth.

## Summary

After rescuing Millie from the capsizing Pacific Missile Control Station, Roman offers to take Millie home. However he has been on the run from the Time Lords ever since the events at Meat Base Alpha, and has decided he should have a vacation. Roman's TARDIS is temperamental and doesn't quite taker him where he wants to go, delivering them instead to Disneyland on its opening day - July 17th, 1955. Roman's TARDIS takes the shape of a ticket booth as they venture into the park.

They line up for the Jungle Cruise, where Roman reveals he used to travel with the Doctor and shares the impact that can have on a person. As they board the Jungle Cruise boat, only one other person gets onto the ship - a tall black man resembling actor Patterson Joseph, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a Goofy cap. The man reveals himself to be Maxil, regenerated after having been shot by Roman.

There is a conflict on the boat. Maxil is knocked down. Roman and Millie escape and run through a now eerily deserted park back to Roman's TARDIS. Upon hitting Main Street, U.S.A., various Time Lord soldiers emerge from post boxes, churro stands and mascot costumes (all revealed to be TARDISes).

Trapped with nowhere to go, Roman gives Millie a Time Ring and she falls through the vortex to an unknown destination...

* The unknown observer from the end of The Cost of Progress reappears, this time disguised as a *Patriarch* crewman. His TARDIS was seemingly disguised as a cargo container.

## Production

* Recorded back-to-back with The Edge of Discovery, which is considered a lead-into to this adventure and thus part of the same serial.
* This is the first episode with a cold open prior to the opening theme.
* Much of this episode takes inspiration from *Star Trek*. This is in part because the serial is loosely based on a pitch Ben came up with when invited to pitch to a high-profile *Star Trek* fan-series. Ultimately the pitch went unused, and Ben later brought it to Michael who suggested they use it for the podcast.
* Two pieces of library music from Kevin MacLeod - “Space X-plorers” and “Controlled Chaos” - are used in this serial.
* Recorded at Geeky Teas & Games in Burbank, California.

Time Lords

The ***Time Lords*** are one of the inhabitants of the planet Gallifrey. One of the oldest civilizations in the universe, they created and uphold the Laws of Time.

## Background

*The Time Lords' history prior to their appearance in* The Game of Rassilon *can be found on the TARDIS Data Core.*

### Gallifrey Reborn

After the Doctor, Travis and Carrie stopped the Perfector, the Time Lords and the Sisterhood of Karn were reunited and began working together to make Gallifrey a kinder place. Part of this process involved the formation of the Doctorate Program in which Time Lords of Gallifrey would be given a TARDIS and trained to travel the universe doing good. (*The Enemy of the Good*) Notable trainees in the Program were Parker Killian (*The Enemy of the Good*) and the Auditor. (*The Sontaran Invasions*)

By the time the Master hatched his plan to switch his and the Doctor's place in the timeline, Gallifrey no longer had a President or an Emperor but instead had two Prime Ministers - one representing the Time Lords, and one representing the Sisterhood of Karn. (*The Enemy Within*)

San Diego Who Con 2016 Live Show

The Game of Rassilon made its debut in October 2016 with a live performance at the very first ***San Diego Who Con*** in October 2016.

## Synopsis

The Doctor and companions experience strange weather events on an English beach, eventually discovering the cause is a crashed Dalek ship hiding under the surface of the water.

## Players

* Ray Bender as Captain Jack Harkness
* Samma Jones as Donna Noble
* Mazz Mazzacano as the Tenth Doctor
* Ben Paddon as the Game Master

## Continuity

* To date, this is the only appearance of the Daleks in The Game of Rassilon.

## Production

* The original setup for this story comes in part from the "Stormrise" adventure outlined in the 2014 edition of the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game core rulebook, though it quickly deviates, with the cause of the unusual weather being a crashed Dalek ship as opposed to a lost Gallifreyan weapon.
The Doctor

***The Doctor*** is the name chosen by a renegade Time Lord who travels through time and space in a stolen TARDIS.

## History

*The Doctor's history prior to their appearance in* The Game of Rassilon *can be found on the TARDIS Data Core.*
### The Plan

Immediately following the Doctor's regeneration into the War Doctor, he learned about the schism that had occurred betweenm the Time Lords and the Sisterhood of Karn. This Doctor promised that the rift between their peoples must be set right. The Twelfth Doctor briefly revisited this idea once he returned to Gallifrey. Both incarnations had other pressing matters to attend to at the time. (*Perfection*)

A later incarnation of the Doctor, having lost a companion, questioned whether it would be right to change the timeline to set right that loss. Another Doctor weighed in on the value of extending an olive branch of peace to mend an old emnity.

Working with Romana towards the end of his life, and largely informed by the experiences of his successor, the Previous Doctor began to plan the fall of Rassilon and the restoration of a whole society made of Time Lords and the Sisterhood of Karn. He then journeyed to Skaro with his successor, where they mended the timeline and triggered his regeneration.

### The Running Phase

Upon regenerating into the Riley!Doctor, she awoke to find she had no memory of how she had regenerated, and a note affixed to her jacket that said, simply, "Run". She rescued Amelia Earhart and Travis Killian from their status as museum pieces in the 51st century, vowing to take them home.
