**Piro** (pronounced 'pyro', pai · row), also known as **The Pioneer**; real name **Rullvaldvoregreyazela**, is a renegade Time Lord from the planet of Gallifrey. Being born without the ability to inherit the regeneration gene, Piro ended up working as a TARDIS Engineer for the majority of his life before dying at the age of around 40. Piro was remembered and honoured as being the greatest TARDIS Engineer to ever exist.

Many Millenia later, after the Last Great Time War had broke out, Rassilon requested The Master be brought back to life with a fresh regeneration cycle to fight as the perfect warrior, but the Time Lord Scientists were unsure if it would work. This led them to test the resurrection formula on Piro, as well as gifting him a whole set of regenerations, which indeed worked! Piro quickly went back to work as a TARDIS Engineer but was moved to become a foot soldier in the war, being present at most of the large battles such as the Fall of Archadia.

Piro, realising the Time Lords he once loved were gone forever as the Time War led to many innocence dying, escaped the war with his custom-created TARDIS just before his planet's destruction at the hands of The Doctor. Piro then began to travel the universe, vowing to never hurt anyone whom didn't first commit any atrocities, and even then to attempt to forgive those whom had committed any crimes.

Piro eventually ran into a group in modern day Earth known as The Alliance. Initially thinking Piro was a threat, the Time Lord entered into a battle with the group before being able to convince them he was a good person. After a year and a half of helping them on a few missions, Piro was invited to join the group full time as a member of the team.

Currently, Piro continues to assist The Alliance as well as helping anyone and everyone he can, occasionally taking people with him to show them Time and Space. Piro is one of The Alliance's senior members at this point and is usually the one who assists newer members get to grips with the team.

## Biography

### Early Life

#### Before Birth

Many, many years ago - Lightyears from Earth - there sat a large orange planet. The planet’s two suns used to make the planet glow like a star itself. The civilization that lived on the planet was extremely intelligent, having mastered the art of travelling through and (to an extent) controlling time itself! That planet's name was Gallifrey. The civilisation who lived there? The Gallifreyans, also known as the Time Lords! One of these Time Lords, born hundreds of millenia ago… Or hundreds of millenia in the future (Timey Wimey) was a being who’d later be known as The Pioneer!

#### Birth and Early Interests

The Pioneer, born under the name of Rullvaldvoregreyazela, was birthed naturally on his home planet of Gallifrey into his family of parents and one older brother. His first body (the one he was birthed with) was a caucasian white male with darker black hair and warm feeling brown eyes. The Pioneer was straight away quite a technical young Gallifreyan child. Even before he was aged one he was finding small tools around his parent’s house and taking them apart and finding creative ways to fix them again. This caught the eyes of his parents, especially his father who was a TARDIS engineer. This led his father to begin to show his son the TARDIS’ he’d repaired at the TARDIS repair shop, sneaking holograms and visual codes back to his home to show his son.

The Pioneer began to, even at his very young age, absorb all the information he was being taught by his parents. This led him to be taken away for initiation at the age of 8 by the Time Lords. Although some assumed this was due to his father’s connections to the Time Lord Higher-Ups, him being a TARDIS engineer and repairer as previously stated, the real reason for this was due to the Time Lords being able to sense a temporal energy from the young Gallifreyan. Something… odd. Different. Like he was a fixed point in time almost. It was strange to say the least.

### Time Lord Initiation

#### The Untempered Schism Trial

As The Pioneer entered initiation, he was taken to view the Untempered Schism, a gap in time, a tear in the fabric of reality which in itself could be seen the raw power of space and time: the Time Vortex. As The Pioneer stared into the schism he saw everything. Everything that would be, everything that could be, everything that was and everything that wasn’t. Some children would go mad. Some children would run away. But The Pioneer just… stared. It was as if he was absorbing everything he saw into his mind. He was inspired. No one knows how he was inspired, but he was.

After this event, the boy having to be ripped away from the schism due to his want to stare into it, The Pioneer was placed into the Prydonian Chapter in the Time Lord Academy. Here he was presented with his Time Lord robes and was set on his way to become a true Time Lord.

### The Academy

#### Joining the Time Lord Academy

At the Academy, The Pioneer was certainly what you’d call a trouble maker. The boy used to pull pranks on his peers and joke around at any time he could. Although this was initially seen as something to be angered and worried by (by the teachers), it was later found that the reason the boy picked up this behaviour was because of his pure boredom. The child seemed to find the academy far too simple and easy. This led The Pioneer to be given extra classes and work to keep him occupied, though this wouldn’t occupy him for long before he was back to his usual, playful tricks.

#### Making Friends

At the academy, The Pioneer was living in a small room shared with one other Time Lord initiate. The Pioneer, being the talkative and usually jolly person he is, quickly made friends with this person. They seemed to share a want and desire to travel, invent and do everything new and exciting that they could. The pair formed a close bond from that point, seeming to work together on nearly everything they did. It was around this time when the pair both together designed a type of Sonic Probe which incorporated a Time Lord laser blaster’s capacity to fire powerful laser bolts. This, after being found by a Time Lord elder, caused the pair to be temporarily expelled. I say temporarily due to the fact that, after realising their high knowledge, they were both allowed back in and were in fact brought upwards past certain levels in the academy. After many more years at the academy, The Pioneer graduated alongside his now long-time best friend.

This unfortunately is where the pair decided to go their separate ways. As The Pioneer wished to go into engineering and TARDIS enhancement, design and modification (like his father before him), his fellow Time Lord decided to join the Time Lord military force, feeling his skilled could be used to allow the Time Lord’s hold on the universe to grow, seeming to grow more into a ruling and somewhat power-hungry person.

#### One Life Left

Just before graduation however, The Pioneer was taken aside and delivered some very surprising and - for The Pioneer - sad news. After tests run by the Time Lords through The Pioneer’s time at the academy, it was revealed that this specific Time Lord, for a seemingly unknown biological reason, was unable to regenerate. This severely limited the Time Lord’s life and caused the Time Lords to give The Pioneer more freedom when working in TARDIS’, knowing they may be able to benefit from the freedom with new designs.

### Time Lord Engineering

#### Improvements

The Pioneer, knowing his life was short and was potentially at a large amount of risk, seemed to put most of (if not all of) his time and effort into his TARDIS work. One area of his work he always had a large interest in was the Type 89 model TARDIS. This TARDIS model, being designed by a Time Lord who’d later be known as ‘The Machinist’ was a supremely good model of TARDIS, having seemingly all the elements more Time Lords would need. However, one issue The Pioneer took with it was it’s specific design. The Pioneer felt it could be improved so, without the knowledge of the Time Lords, he took a model of this TARDIS (technically stealing it) and hid it in his own home. Then, over the course of many, many years - The Pioneer slowly worked on his TARDIS, modifying it and seemingly growing a large connection with the machine and the consciousness that lived within it.

The Pioneer, alongside modifying his own TARDIS, managed to improve many weapon and time/space travel capabilities for the Time Lords, sometimes being dubbed as the ‘second coming of Omega’ due to his seemingly endless knowledge and evolving nature of Time and Space travel, even managing to enhance many features of the TARDIS design that the Time Lord race thought were seemingly perfect. This landed this Time Lord his official nickname of “The Pioneer”, a name that’d live with him for the rest of his life... And beyond!

#### A Personal Project Begins

The Pioneer would constantly sneak many items from his workshop home to use on his own TARDIS. Was this illegal? Very. Could it get him killed? Absolutely! But was it worth it? To The Pioneer, it was very worth it. This TARDIS he had was much more than a project. It’d become what he wanted to be his life’s work. He had grown such a connection with this specific TARDIS. It was his and, in a way, he belonged to the TARDIS. It was a way for The Pioneer to unleash his more explosive personality, something the rest of the Time Lords commonly looked down on. The Pioneer was a very jumpy and excitable person, so this was perfect for him!

In total, The Pioneer was able to spend centuries on his TARDIS, making it perfect. Over the course of many years - most of which were spent modifying this TARDIS - The Pioneer took to calling this TARDIS the Type PR, that being named after his own nickname. The Pioneer was able to take the TARDIS design beyond what was initially thought, having unknowingly given his TARDIS the ability to even - granted with a lot of strain and hard work on the TARDIS’ and Pilot’s part - travel across universes and dimensions! This however wouldn’t be found out for many years to come. Atop this, The Pioneer was able to improve this TARDIS in its weaponry capabilities (though these were rarely if ever used), it’s navigation being the best anyone could ever have, and making many more improvements that would blow the mind of even the most sophisticated Time Lords.

### Community

Alongside The Pioneer’s work, the Time Lord was also a very friendly and community driven individual. He loved people. Any and all people. He always talked to everyone he could, learning about them and hearing their many stories. He seemed to favour the older Time Lords due to their wisdom and mystical stories of the past. But even then, The Pioneer was a friend of all. He entertained children by building them toys, spoke to adults and helped them with as much as he could, and then he listened to the elderly, keeping them healthy and well for as long as possible before their inevitable deaths or regenerations! This caused The Pioneer to become quite the popular figure back on Gallifrey. He was loved by many and hated by very few, having no enemies and only allies. He was truly a good man and a loving one.

#### Politics

The Pioneer, having been in the TARDIS design sector for decades now, was offered the chance to join the higher Time Lords in the politics side of Gallifreyan society. This is something that interested The Pioneer so the Time Lord took the offer. However, after only a year and a half in this new sector, The Pioneer left back to his TARDIS design and manufacture sector. In The Pioneer’s words: “It was all far too serious for me! Politics isn’t my cup of tea at all. Give me a spanner and a box of scraps and I’ll be happy.”. Though the Time Lords begged him to return, it was clear that he wasn’t interested and would only hinder the politics, so they decided to let him stay in his own sector.

#### Age Growing

The Pioneer’s age was getting high at this point. There was no exact number, but it was obvious he didn’t have the longest amount of time left. By this point The Pioneer even had an entire family which merely showed his age. The Pioneer had also taken on hundreds of thousands of apprentices at this point, him now being at the head of TARDIS production for the entire planet! And even with all these responsibilities, the Time Lord always found time for his own hobby: the Type PR TARDIS. However, The Pioneer as stated was clearly getting old. And due to his lack of ability to regenerate, it was clear the Time Lords would be losing their very best aid in TARDIS and technology creation. This led the Time Lords to begin their investigation into the art of resurrection. They believed this would allow them to not only resurrect The Pioneer come the time of his death, but also many more Time Lords to allow the race to grow more and more and more.

### At Death's Door

#### His Last Actions

The Pioneer was eerily close to death. He knew it. It’s like he could taste it. This lead him at this point (his age being around 450 by this point) to allow him to take action. The Pioneer’s first action was to ensure the safety of his family. Who knows what the Time Lords would do with them after The Pioneer’s death! This caused the Time Lord to reach out to a very old friend. In fact, this was his friend from back in the Academy, a man who’d now become a Military General. The two met up and it seemed like they slipped straight back into their old roles. It was as if nothing had ever changed! It was very nice indeed, but both knew that The Pioneer didn’t have long. This was why The Pioneer had contacted his friend. They both made an agreement that The Pioneer’s family would be kept safe and secure after The Pioneer’s death under the command of the Time Lord General.

The Pioneer then made his next move, protecting his prized TARDIS. He knew the Time Lord military could use the Type PR TARDIS to do many things, things The Pioneer wouldn’t agree with. For this reason alone, the Time Lord hid the incomplete TARDIS in the depths of the Time Lord Vaults. It was so hidden - thanks to its amazingly improved chameleon circuit which was barely exposed on the exterior - that no Time Lord could ever have seen it or realised they were under the trick of a chameleon circuit. The sciences used in that circuit alone could allow people to rule entire galaxies! That’s how important it was to keep it hidden.

In truth, The Pioneer shed a few tears as he left his life’s work to stay hidden, forever. But before he did, he managed to allow the TARDIS’ matrix to sleep. It simply meant the TARDIS wouldn’t miss him when he died. It was something very emotional for the Time Lord and his rickety old TARDIS. The pair were practically inseparable before this point. It was quite sad indeed…

#### The Time Lord to Rests

A small while later, some unfortunate news broke. The Pioneer, Rullvaldvoregreyazela, had officially passed away. As much as his body tired and tried to regenerate, it wasn’t able to. The mere age of this Time Lord had caused his death. This brought extreme sorrow over many Time Lords due to The Pioneer’s sheer popularity among the people. Many Time Lords and Gallifreyans mourned that day. It was a terrible day for all. By that point, the Time Lord scientists were still unable to resurrect him. But they knew one day they may have to. One day he may be needed. So for that reason, The Pioneer’s body was kept in status for years. Decades. Centuries. Millenia. So, so long. Before he was needed again. For the war. The war to end all wars. The Last Great Time War...

### The Last Great Time War

#### Bloodshed

Time Lords of Gallifrey, Daleks of Skaro. The war that killed thousands - no, millions of civilisations like a human stepping on an ant, with ease. The war was much more than bloodshed. Calling it a war in itself was an understatement. It wasn’t even a battle anymore. It was carnage. Explosions, crashing ships, regenerations left, right and centre. It was pure chaos. Many fought and many ran. Many died and none survived. It was what could only be described as an unliving hell.

Many died, especially on Gallifrey. Children screamed as blood filled their throat and gargled from their small mouths. Adults were blown into a million pieces as Dalek forces collapsed buildings on families and turned innocence to dust. It was awful to see and it was worse to hear it. The Time Lord forces were wearing thin and the Daleks were growing their mutated forces by the very second. Something had to be done. Fast. Most would try to end the war in a humane way, heck people did try that. It never worked. All the Time Lords wanted was more assets. More workers. More soldiers. Which is what turned them to the Gallifrey Morgues.

#### Resurrection

By this point in time the Time Lord sciences had evolved so much that, using the biology from The Pioneer, they found a way to resurrect the Time Lord and, better yet, they found a way to be able to give the Time Lord something amazing. Something he’d longed for ever since he’d left the Time Lord Academy. The Pioneer would be able to have a regeneration cycle. He would have his thirteen lives all over again. He’d have another lease of life. But of course… not for him. No. They wanted him for the war. They wanted The Pioneer to create a new TARDIS. A new weapon. Something to allow them to win the war. Anything! No one knew if it’d work, considering The Pioneer’s personality. But - for the war - they had to try.

Everything was prepared; The Pioneer’s dead and aged corpse laid within a scientifically modified Time Lord coffin. The whole room had an eerie feel to it. Dark hooded Time Lord figures stood around the coffin as they began to prepare an odd looking concoction. It seemed to have some kind of Regenerative dust within it, DNA from The Pioneer himself - that being a strand of his aged, white hair -, alongside many other chemicals of many colours. The brew that was slowly made was something that, quite frankly, stunk. The coffin the dead Time Lord laid in was large and golden, but had clearly aged having slight rusting around some of the Iron elements on it as well as damage and tubes going all around it.

The Time Lord scientists slowly closed the coffin with a yellow looking energy shield before allowing the concoction’s fumes to enter the coffin and allowed the chemicals to enter the coffin with the aged Time Lord. At a glance, the entire operation seemed rather stupid and as if it was just throwing random chemicals and fumes at a dead body and hoping something would happen, but to a human that’s all this advanced science looked like. The science was so advanced that even the description here is heavily simplified.

The Time Lord scientists were being overlooked by Rassilon the Redeemer, the current head of Gallifrey. Having been resurrected for the war, Rassilon’s evil ways spread into the Time Lords. The Gallifreyans were no more. In most of the universe’s eyes, the Time Lords died the moment the immortal Rassilon’s eyes opened once again. The reason the Redeemer was there in the first place was to oversee the resurrection of one of the smartest minds in Time Lord society. The Time Lord President hoped that the pair would work closely together to win the war and bring an end to the evil race previously known as the Kaleds; now known as the Daleks thanks to the evil mind of Davros, the leader of the Dalek race.

After hours and hours of careful science and perfectly measured chemicals being inserted inside and being placed around the dead body of The Pioneer, it was time to awaken the Time Lord. All that needed to be done was to allow the body to come into contact with an Eye of Harmony, the very thing that powers each TARDIS; that being simply a stabilized collapsing black hole.

The Time Lord scientists brought the coffin which housed The Pioneer to one of the many Experimental TARDIS’ and went to the Eye of Harmony containment room before allowing The Pioneer’s body to be exposed to it. Within an instant the Time Lord’s deceased corpse began to move slightly. Twitch. Was it working? Only time would tell. The Eye then released a large amount of regeneration energy as it shot into the dead Time Lord. The body (which happened to be stripped for this procedure) glowed a bright yellow-y white, filling the entire room with light. The body which before seemed old and wrinkly with long white hair began to reverse into the body of a man in his prime. The man’s hair turned from a frail white to a thick black hair which began to regrow around his head. The man’s wrinkles became smooth, young skin. The man’s body went from being frail, hunched and thin to the perfect body for a man in his prime, having a larger physique but not losing it’s agility. After a few minutes, the glow began to calm as the Time Lord gasped for air. The Time Lord… was alive! It worked! The Pioneer was back!

#### Not Everyone Gets a Second Chance

The Time Lord scientists ran into the room in a hurry to make The Pioneer look presentable before the almighty Rassilon walked in, his face looking as miserable as ever. The Pioneer barely stood up, looking around confused. His mind wasn’t all back yet. It was hazy. Thankfully, due to Rassilon not wanting this man to be tortured by the concept of the drumming which would later plague the Time Lord known as the Master - who had yet to have been resurrected - The Pioneer had no massive mental incapacities. All he needed was maybe a day of recovery. But Rassilon was impatient. He wanted The Pioneer now. Walking up to the barely standing man, Rassilon began already giving commands. The Pioneer glanced up at the man as his head was still shaking and spinning. He didn’t realise what was going on. The newly rejuvenated man merely put his hand up in a finger, silencing the Lord President as The Pioneer shook his head and stumbled away.

Following this encounter, The Pioneer took a day and a half to recover. His mind was in spins. He didn’t know who he was, what was happening. He knew nothing! Luckily, they had resurrected The Pioneer deep within the depths of Gallifrey, meaning he had no idea about the Time War that destroyed worlds above them. Bringing someone who’d just been brought back to life into a war would inevitably be a bad idea and luckily the Time Lords recognised that.

Over the course of the day and a half, The Pioneer’s memories and personality slowly came back into being. This allowed his memories of his family to return. The Pioneer was desperate to know if they were okay. So, after that day and a half, the Time Lord marched to the High Council room with a large frown covering his face and demanded to know what had happened to them and why he hadn’t seen them. This is when he was told the news… The Pioneer had been dead for so long… his family had died. But not due to natural causes… but because of the war. This is when The Pioneer found out about why he was alive again. What this had meant. Why was he there? What was his purpose? To fight. The Pioneer was in shock. He was broken. He didn’t have anything left. What kind of a life was that? Well… it was a new one. ‘Be careful what you wish for’...

#### A Lover not a Fighter

The Pioneer soon came to his senses and after some long evaluation, he knew what he had to do. He had to fight. But he didn’t want to, not at all! He was a kind and peaceful man. But he knew he’d be stripped of life if he didn’t… So he did. The Time Lord was given his old workshop, his notes not having moved an inch since his death. His love from the community around him caused his workshop to remain intact and safe for all those years he was dead for. All the memories of his old life. It was quite nice for him to see. But the Time Lord higher-ups didn’t care about any of that. They just wanted their weapons. Their TARDIS’. Their way to win the war! So The Pioneer, reluctantly, got to work.

The Pioneer had very clear feelings about the war, those being that he was very against it. The Pioneer was not a fighter and he was certainly not an arms dealer. What this man was is an inventor. He created things. Not for murder or destruction, but for education and entertainment. War never made anyone happy, and he didn’t want any part in that. Not now, not ever. This led The Pioneer to come up with a genius idea.

Over the next few years, The Pioneer made several non-fully functional prototypes of weapons by his own design. A fun fact about The Pioneer is that his designs were written in a completely unique language that he’d invented, so therefore needed translating. Now for his other designs he’d always translate them but for these weapons and for his seemingly forgotten Type PR TARDIS, he never translated a character of those designs, in order to keep them safe and secure.

The Pioneer kept doing this as he made sure that he figured out a way to leave the war without having the Time Lords murder him. The Pioneer still wanted to live. He could taste in his new lease of life that he had potential, and with his new regenerations he wanted to live life to the fullest, but that wasn’t in a war against Daleks. Not at all. The Pioneer did this over and over again, only allowing the odd blaster to be constructed under his command at the engineering plants. Some would say this was letting Time Lords die. But to him? The Time Lords were already dead. True, many innocent lives were being killed but… The Pioneer didn’t want any part in that. This was the blame of the Time Lords who started the war, whomever they were.

#### Memory Delay

Eventually, The Pioneer during one of his many restless nights had a memory of something he’d forgotten about many years ago. Due to how shoddy the resurrection system was at the time of The Pioneer’s revival, there were some memories that came back straight away, and some that came back years after resurrection. This memory was of a tall, black, cylindrical TARDIS. It looked very unique, somehow nostalgic to the mentally-aged Time Lord. The Pioneer then shot up as he recalled what it was! It was the Type PR! His TARDIS! This was what he needed! This is what The Pioneer wanted! How he could escape!

That very night, The Pioneer snuck down all the way to the Time Lord vaults. Due to the Time War still going on no matter the time of day on Gallifrey, the vault was heavily guarded. This led The Pioneer to have to either sneak into the vaults or, more cleverly, to try and talk his way into them. Hopefully that way if he was caught, no one would have a problem! The Pioneer walked down the large stone steps towards the vault. The entrance to the vault was massive and there were hundreds of troopers guarding it. Maybe this was going to be harder than he initially thought. Aha! An idea! You’re an engineer, with a pass. Surely you’d just be able to stroll in… right? It was worth a shot.

So off the Time Lord strolled - down the large stone steps - as he found himself in the Time Lord vaults. Honestly it was easier than he’d expected. Something didn’t feel right… Probably nothing… or that’s what The Pioneer thought at least… Despite this, The Pioneer kept onwards in search of his precious work. The vaults were large and, due to The Pioneer’s memory being faded, he wasn’t sure where exactly he’d parked her, a common problem many Time Lords seemed to have.

After hours of searching, she was found… The TARDIS! The Pioneer jumped with joy as he dashed over towards his beloved TARDIS. She was beautiful! Luckily she was smart enough to temporarily hack into her own Chameleon Circuit and deactivate it. If she hadn’t had done that he never would’ve found her! The Time Lord rubbed his hand against her black capsule. Such a beautiful machine. She was amazing - everything the Pioneer had remembered! In a burst of excitement he swiftly opened the door and slid inside the console room.

*Hummm… Hummm… Hummm…*

The warm and welcoming hum which greeted The Pioneer was more than satisfying. And the control room was something to adore! It was a beautiful silver with large overarching walls. The console itself was just as The Pioneer had designed and with her own improvements! She was a sight to behold, everything The Pioneer had ever dreamed of.

**“Oh you’re beautiful! Look at you! You’re-”**

Suddenly, a large thud came from the door closed behind The Pioneer. Little to say the Time Lord’s hearts sank to the pit of his stomach as he slowly turned. Who was it? Well, there was only one way to find out… Or so he thought. *Beep Beep Beep Beep!* The Pioneer turned to see a large monitor activating on the TARDIS’ curved wall. Aha, Of course! The Time Lord slid across the floor towards the console as he turned to the large, circular monitor and with the flip of a switch the large monitor began to transmit who was outside the TARDIS…

Outside the TT-Capsule stood 5 Time Lord soldiers, one of which was smashing their armour-plated arm against the TARDIS’ door. In fairness to them, they were only doing their jobs. They were in the middle of the largest war to ever hit the universe, protection was the number one priority. However, The Pioneer could never let them know he was in there or let them have his TARDIS. But there was a problem… Due to The Pioneer’s initial death being very untimely and unexpected, the Time Lord was never able to complete his beloved Type PR TARDIS, meaning it would be extremely dangerous to pilot here, especially only moments after finding her again. The Pioneer had to think of something, fast.

Unfortunately, the soldiers outside the TARDIS doors were getting aggressive. Rather than acting with his mind, The Pioneer decided to act with his gut instincts, that being to run out the door and use his mouth. So, that’s exactly what he did. Sliding out of the TARDIS’s door, The Pioneer was greeted with a few gun-barrels pointed in his direction before, from the shadows, came the Lord President himself… Rassilon. And little to say he didn’t seem pleased. Not in the slightest. With a roaring voice the Lord President demanded to know what was going on. Replying to this was a Pioneer who seemed more worried than anything. He began to explain that the TARDIS he found himself within was a prototype he’d been working on for the Time Lord’s on the front-lines, but Rassilon saw straight through the lie he’d given. The displeased Lord President knew he couldn’t let The Pioneer get away with this, so he gave him the ultimate punishment.

Before he knew it, The Pioneer was on the front-lines of the Time War. God knows where his TARDIS was. All The Pioneer was sure of was that he didn’t want to be in the position he was in. Wearing thick deep-red armour with a large assault-blaster in his grasp. It was hell. Terrible. The Pioneer then began to find himself at some of the deadliest battles there was, one of which being the infamous Fall of Arcadia. This twisted the Time Lord to say the least. Not in a negative way per-say, but it certainly ruined some of the more positive elements of The Pioneer’s personality. During this time, The Pioneer seemed to be darker than before, a war like the Time War does that to people.

### Escaping the War

#### Planning

After a few uncountable years of service, all of which broke The Pioneer down bit-by-bit, he knew that he needed something else. He needed to escape. That’s when The Pioneer was able to find a crucial bit of information. Something that’d change everything! The Pioneer finally found the location of his Type PR TARDIS. The Time Lord always assumed that Rassilon had either kept it for himself or had it destroyed, but no. In reality - thanks to The Pioneer managing to steal his commander's info tablet - his TARDIS was indeed located in the vaults, the very centre Vault, near what was labeled as ‘The Moment’, whatever the hell that was. The Pioneer knew what he had to do…

#### Time to Leave

That night, The Pioneer didn’t appear at the battle. He couldn’t be found by anyone. Most troopers assumed he went MIA (Missing in Action), but in reality this mischievous Time Lord had once again snuck into the Time Lord vaults. Although, it was easier than he imagined. Upon arriving at the vaults, all the guards seemed to have been gunned down. It was… strange. Far more strange than before. Did a Dalek get in? Oh God if they had then it was already too late! He’d have to move quickly.

The armoured Time Lord ran down the corridors of the vaults, looking around every corner, scanning every last level of the vaults. Eventually The Pioneer seemed to reach the right level, though it was impossible to tell. The vault was guarded by not only soldiers, all of whom were dead, but also a temporal lock. Not anything fancy, just enough of a space-time lock to be able to distort the mind of anyone who went within, Dalek and Time Lord alike. As The Pioneer wandered down the long and seemingly endless corridors, he came across something completely unexpected…

#### The One who Killed Them All...

What stood before The Pioneer was a large, dirty, battered looking box. It was old, the paint on it seemed to have been scuffed and in need of replacement; the paint in question being a dirty blue. The mysterious box also seemed to have large, framed glowing windows - windows which glowed a yellow-ish white colour. Akin to the windows was some signage which equally glowed the same colour. The largest, black sign atop the box simply read the following: “Police Public Call Box”. After a second of thinking, The Pioneer knew what he’d come across....

The Pioneer immediately took many steps backwards, almost sprinting backwards. He knew who that Police Box belonged to. The greatest and most deadly warrior of the Time War… The Doctor. And then what The Pioneer heard next froze his hearts in place..

**“Step away from the box, soldier.”**

As The Pioneer slowly turned to hear who the elderly-sounding person was - deep down he knew that voice. He knew who it was. As he turned he was greeted with an elderly man in tattered clothes including a small red scarf and a large, brown, beaten leather jacket. The man also seemed to be holding a large brown bag which seemed to be holding a box of some kind, though that was the least of The Pioneer’s concerns. The Pioneer merely muttered the only two syllables he could:

**“Doctor-”**

To which the elderly man responded swiftly and with a seemingly weary tone:

**“Don’t call me that. I’m no Doctor.”**

The corridor fell silent before the would-be Doctor began to approach The Pioneer, a clack in his step. Words began to form out of The Doctor mouth:

**“The TARDIS you’re looking for it down the way you came. Two rights. Now if you wouldn’t mind getting out of my way… I have something to do… Oh, and: make sure you go fast. Once I’m done… well, you won’t be going anywhere.”**

The Pioneer dashed away down the corridor, following the elderly man’s directions perfectly. As he came down the corridors, The Pioneer noticed an empty plinth where the infotablet claimed The Moment was. That must’ve been what The Doctor had before - and if he had something to do… The Pioneer knew he had to move at double speeds. The Time Lord dashed towards an open vault which contained his TARDIS. This time The Pioneer didn’t even spare a moment to say hello to his TARDIS, time was of the essence!

The Pioneer began to slide around the console of his half-finished TARDIS and began the flight procedures. Despite the TARDIS’s noises of disagreement, knowing the flight wouldn’t be safe, The Pioneer pushed on. He wasn’t going to die today, and he wasn’t going to let his work die either. As The Pioneer finished the flight-protocols, he walked over to the Space-Time Throttle and gave a smile. He was excited. This was the first time he’d ever been able to fully fly his TARDIS, outside of test runs that is. It was quite the moment for the man and the machine. As The Pioneer pulled the throttle down the TARDIS’s time rotor began to rise and fall with a distinct whirring sound echoing around the vaults and the console room. In an act of beauty the TARDIS slowly dematerialized and - with a struggle and a fight, The Pioneer dashing around the controls altering them constantly as the TARDIS itself struggled to leave - The Time Lord and his trust ship finally left the planet, leaving the dreaded Time War behind…

### After the War

#### Helping the Universe

The Pioneer from here realised he needed to change his lifestyle. No more was the Time War going to affect his life. No more were the Time Lords going to rule over him, using him as a worker and a soldier. No more! The Pioneer was free to do what he wanted to do! And it all started with a new set of clothes. Goodbye to the Gallifreyan robes and the Time Lord armour - Hello to the simple and sleek black clothing of a T-shirt, simple trousers, boots and a belt. Simple, but practical. Perfect for someone who’d be travelling around the universe helping people- That’s it! That’s what he was going to do! The Pioneer then and there decided what his life was going to be about! Travel and assistance!

The Pioneer from that moment began to travel around the universe, helping all the people he could and learning as much as he could along the way, even educating a great-many people too. These acts of kindness, these acts of goodwill, they began to slowly help The Pioneer. They allowed him to slowly move away from the Time War. All those he had to kill, all those he had to let die in that war. This wasn’t making up for it - but it was making him a good man once again. He knew he’d be doing the people he’d met over the years proud.

#### Saving Sabrinatora

This specific Time Lord seemed to have a massive fondness for planets with life. He enjoyed helping them develop and helping them survive - not to mention all he learnt from their individual societies. Over the many years The Pioneer has helped many. In one very significant and early instance, The Pioneer was able save an entire galaxy from dying: The Sabrinatora Galaxy. This galaxy was home to 3 planets, all of the same race and all races that interacted with each other in peaceful and friendly ways. However, they were old and as such so was their local star. The Pioneer arrived on one of their planets on a very significant day. It was what most on the planet would call their final day. The Day of the Dwarf. On that significant day, their star was going to become a Red Dwarf star and destroy the entire galaxy. Well, not on The Pioneer’s watch.

On that day, The Pioneer saved more lives than could be counted. Billions with one action. Using his TARDIS the Time Lord was able to use its energy absorption technology - that which was modified by The Pioneer centuries prior - to channel the energy of the star and use the energy to bring the star into a status-time-loop. In basic terms, The Pioneer was able to return the star back to it’s prior, healthy state. On that day, billions called out to the man. They called out a single word: ‘Piro’. Though The Pioneer saw it as a nice abbreviation of his name, in actuality it was the work these species used for ‘Sun’. They were rejoicing that the sun had been saved. That Galaxy lives on to this day and so does the name The Pioneer seemingly adopted from them. He was no longer Rullvaldvoregreyazela nor was he The Pioneer, the warrior of the Time Lords. No, he was **Piro - The Pioneer - Savior of Worlds!**

### Learning

Long after many, many adventures, Piro began to learn more and more. He found himself learning the arts of combat (merely as a hobby and out of boredom) at millions of dojos around the world (including the League of Assassins, though he didn’t know who these people were at the time). The Pioneer also found himself travelling to hundreds of Jedi Temples and Grey Jedi Temples over his years. It was here he was able to master the arts of the force and Lightsaber combat. But these were only small elements in his life, Piro would go on to learn so much more! All about fighting, learning, cooking, drawing, engineering, and more!

#### One with the Force

Piro’s time at the Jedi Temples was something that was very significant to him. Piro became close with one of the Jedi Masters at the temple on Coruscant - being present at the temple during its days prior to Order 66. This Master’s name was ‘Plo-Koon’. Plo and Piro became fairly close, both always sharing stories of their homes and becoming something of friends. The pair also taught each other a lot, however it was mainly Piro doing the learning. Despite not knowing it before, Piro found out his midichlorian count was extremely high (Fun Fact: His Midichlorian Count was one of the many reasons he was unable to naturally regenerate after his Time Lord initiation!). This led Piro to be able to pick up many forms of the Force in extremely quick succession.

As he learnt more of the force, Piro was also able to learn the arts of the Lightsaber - mastering all the forms of combat with relative ease, something which was rare for many. Though Piro seemed to be so powerful in these ways, he was still a pacifist at heart. This also led to Piro’s interest in the Grey Jedi. He believed their balance was something to be admired so, one day, Piro said goodbye to the Jedi Temple in search of Grey Jedi to learn under. This search for Grey Jedi allowed him to meet many more Grey Jedi in the past, present and future. One of these Grey Jedi, whom The Pioneer met in the past, was able to swiftly teach Piro many things. Piro soon became extremely powerful in the force, though the Grey Jedi he’d met seemed to insist that Piro stayed for longer to master his abilities. With much persuading needed, Piro decided to stay with the Grey Jedi to learn - in fact he stayed for 2 long years! In these years Piro learnt so much. He learnt of the light, the dark and the line between, learning to walk that line with the utmost precision. Though two years wouldn’t seem like enough time to learn these abilities, Piro seemed to be able to do it! Piro seemed to enjoy every second of the learning as well, he seemed to understand everything and the need for it all - after all, being at the Time Lord academy taught him how to learn in the best way possible! It was remarkable! After he’d done this and mastered all he could in those arts, Piro realised he had to leave. He had worlds to save, people to save! So at the end of his long and hard training, the newly-knighted Force master left to carry on his journey of learning.

### Meeting a New Friend

#### Crashing on Corestiros

After all of this however, Piro began to travel more and more and meet many people along the way. One of these people was a droid. On the planet of Corestrios - one of the many Junk Planets in the universe - Piro came across someone new. The reason Piro was on this planet was because… well he crashed. His TARDIS had received a large amount of damage over the many battles it’d been through, it was bound to happen sooner or later!

#### TC-43

Anyway - The Pioneer found himself on this planet of junk. Perfect! Somewhere to fix his trusty old TARDIS! As Piro began to look through the junk however he came across a small blue head. Then a large blue body which seemed to be missing many elements from it. Straight away Piro knew what this was. He’d stumbled across a protocol droid! Piro felt it would be cruel to leave a disassembled Protocol Droid just lying there, especially as it seemed to be a TC unit! So, within seconds The Pioneer was able to reactivate the droid, and what a funny droid it was!

**“Ah! Hello there!”**

The Droid spurted out in a female sounding yet equally robotic voice,

**“My name is TT-T-TTTTTTTT-- AH! Oh my apologies, Sir! My name is TC-43, it seems my-my-my-my-mymy---- My systems seem to be a little out of order! Please forgive me!”**

Piro let out a smile. He knew the droid needed help, and he was the man to give it. The Pioneer immediately agreed to helping the droid. Piro brought TC-43 onto his ship and quickly was able to use spare parts to not only repair her, but also the TARDIS itself! The Pioneer, being the engineer he was, seemed to find this an easy job. Fixing a droid and a TARDIS was like speaking to him - just natural!

#### Welcome Aboard

However, the Time Lord quickly realised he couldn’t just shove TeeCee (TC-43’s nickname given by Piro) back onto Corsetrios. This led Piro to make the decision to allow TeeCee to stay aboard the TARDIS as an assistant so-to-speak. TeeCee was paired with the TARDIS, no matter how disagreeable the TARDIS seemed at first. TeeCee was linked into the TARDIS’ computing systems and was even given many upgrades too! This allowed The Pioneer to finally have a friend to stick with him! From that day Piro, TeeCee and not forgetting the trusty TARDIS became all one team, helping the universe and, surprisingly to some, even learning a thing or two along the way...

### Other Adventures of The Pioneer

The Pioneer did get into many more adventures across his first incarnation, some of these being in the future, some the past and some on other worlds!

***None of these following adventures in this sub-heading are in any particular timeline order other than being known to have happened after the events of "Meeting a New Friend" and before the events of "Present Day"**.*

#### Saving the Pop Princess

Piro, in this first incarnation, was notable for enjoying having fun within history wherever he could get away with it. This led the man to 1950s New York in which he attended one of Marilyn Monroe's many large birthday parties. Piro arrived, allowing TeeCee to stay within his TARDIS at the droid's request while he went into the party. Piro, initially having quite a lot of fun and even becoming acquainted with Marilyn Monroe, soon discovered there was something more sinister at the party than initially assumed.

The Pioneer found out via casually checking on his Sonic Screwdriver that there was another Non-Human being at the party he happened to be at. This caused Piro to slowly figure out through many means that there was indeed a Zygon present at the party in a different form (a human disguise). Realising the seriousness of the situation, Piro with the assistance of Monroe herself, managed to track down the Zygon down to a specific person. Unfortunately, the Zygon then changed into one of the guests at the party, meaning Piro had to decipher which was which.

Luckily, Marylin was able to, asking very deep personal questions with a specific answer, assist finding out which was which. This then allowed Piro to capture the Zygon and figure out what it's motive was, that being simply to kill and replace Monroe in order to gain power and influence as many people as possible for their own personal gain. The Pioneer then allowed the Zygon to go free with a new identity, removing it's ability to transform and it's memory as a Zygon.

Monroe, extremely happy Piro had saved her life, tricked the Time Lord into agreeing to marry her, something Piro was not expecting to do ever. This temporarily tied Piro to the time period before he was able to find a way to slip out and carry on his own adventures in his TARDIS.

#### The Aviation Mystery

Piro always had an interest in Aviation, even from a child. It was part of the reason he grew up to become a TARDIS Engineer back on Gallifrey. So when Piro reached Earth, he did all the research he could into Earth's aviation industry. This caused him to become a fan of the one and only Amelia Earheart.

Eventually, Piro got the chance to go back to the 1930s to meet the woman he so admired in Human history. He took the name of Bruce Barrowman, supposedly being a flight expert which in many ways Piro already was. Piro, now Bruce, got to known Amelia very well, becoming something of a friend to her. This then led Piro to stay around the time period up until the infamous day of July 2nd, 1937, Amelia's disappearance.

The Time Lord was actually invited by Amelia and her navigator, Fred Noonan, to accompany them on their journey across the Pacific Ocean due to his friendship with the pair and his overall knowledge of aviation. Though sceptical, Piro realised he could indeed accompany them due to the fact it was said that the pair went missing and were never confirmed dead. The night before their take-off, Piro brought the truth out to Amelia and Fred, telling them he is a Time Lord and was in fact not called Bruce. He even told them about their disappearance, something that shocked them beyond belief.

However, Piro then told them that, given the correct timing, Piro could allow the pair to both live somewhere new, be it off world or somewhere distant on Earth. Eventually, the pair both agreed to this, allowing Piro to take the pair to the agreed destination of the year 1963 after their supposed disappearance date. The Pioneer, through some "Timey-Wimey techniques" also managed to bring the immediate families of the pair with them (spouses, children, etc). This allowed them all to live happily, safe and alive with a new set of identities. In addition, thanks to Piro being "quite the genius he was" (Amelia's words), allowed the Timeline to not break with his actions. Piro then left them, however he is known to still visit the families every now and then to ensure they are quite healthy and safe from threat or discovery.

### The Alliance

#### Joining a Team

At some point in time, Piro came into contact with a group known as The Alliance, a group of superheroes from across the universe, their purpose to protect the Earth against any threats bigger than them. Piro, after a squabble with the group, eventually joined as he felt this could be an opportunity for him to do some good in the universe and possibly even make up for his actions in the Time War, which still lingered on his mind like a bad taste in one's mouth. Piro joined as a novice of the group, slowly working his way up to become known as a 'Senior' member of the group. Piro has fought many battles with The Alliance, one of the more recent and notable of them being the war against Vandal Savage. During this time as a Senior member of the group, Piro created his own Nano-Tech armour akin to Iron Man's suit to allow him to become more useful in battle.

#### The Mysterious Newcomer

A few years into Piro's run within the team, a woman named Vanessa joined The Alliance as a 'newbie'. After a conversation with Konn-Ull and Daredevil, Piro was chosen to become the woman's trainer, however Piro was commanded not to take her off-world. Though he sometimes betrayed this rule, Piro did genuinely train her and also helped the woman discover her origins, them being a mystery to her. Piro even took her to JSA HQ to meet Jay Garrick who assisted in her training.

### The Man in Black

#### An Accidental Summoning

Piro, just after leaving Vanessa with Jay Garrick, happened to be within his TARDIS alongside TeeCee travelling to what was known as the Starship UK, the United Kingdom of the future ran by Queen Elizabeth X herself, or as Piro knew her, 'Liz X'. Piro was off to meet up with her, see how the kingdom was doing and help. It was apparent that Piro was excited for this, he was expecting a good day after all... But that's not what he was gifted with...

As Piro's TARDIS landed abruptly after suddenly going into an Emergency Landing Procedure, The Pioneer was nothing less of confused and not a little annoyed, but above all curious and excited.

(To be finished)

### Present Day

Currently, Piro spends his life learning and saving all he can. He seems to have developed a love for many beings, wishing to learn as much as he could. Piro has saved millions of worlds and founded many more than that! In total he’s actually founded around 710 million planets and saved many, many more! He had truly become a hero, even being in a supergroup (The Alliance)! Thanks to his expanded lifespan from the Time Lords for the Time War, it has meant that Piro has not needed to regenerate. Not… yet. But the Time Lord can feel in his heart that the day will come sooner than he believes. He has lived this first life for over 800 years. He has learnt so much in that time. However, despite his youthful aesthetic, it was obvious that this was an old man. And as such, his time would come. It is said that The Pioneer would move into his next body, his next incarnation, his next self in a battle. Ironic - a pacifist to die in a battle. But it would be so. But no, Piro would not die. He would live again…

But not yet! No, not yet! This life still has a lease of life in him! It filled his every step, charged his every thought. This version of Piro was alive and well and kicking and that’s all that mattered now! This life would carry on his journey and, despite the longevity of this life, he would carry this on with every beat of his heart until they stopped!

Piro was here, alongside his TARDIS and friends and this Time Lord was here to save the universe, one step at a time!

## Personality

### First Incarnation

> *"You cannot decide who is good or bad without first knowing where you lie on the spectrum."*
>
>

> —Piro *(1st Incarnation)*
>
>

At least in their first incarnation, The Pioneer was quite a jolly man. He seemed to always have something to be happy about and seemed to emanate hope from his very presence. The Pioneer was also very humble; a very down to Earth person no matter the situation. However, something that is important to note is The Pioneer’s sense of heroism. Sometimes the Pioneer, rather stupidly, would be willing to sacrifice himself for anyone, even if there was another solution he merely hadn’t thought of yet. This could be seen as a very minor God Complex, always thinking he may die by being a saviour of sorts. In addition, Piro was a very fit-it type of guy in this incarnation, always finding things to tinker or meddle with. This was seen when he created his own Iron Man inspired Nano-Tech suit.

## Physical Appearance

### First Incarnation

In Piro's first incarnation was 6 foot 2 inches tall and 176 pounds. He also had black hair with small specks of grey around the edges and brown eyes. This incarnation was a tall man who was somewhat slender, but being in good shape. In fact, he was at physical perfection for this incarnation.

In terms of clothing, this incarnation kept it simple wearing mainly a black or dark coloured shirt (T-shirt or Polo Shirt), black trousers with matching black boots and a dark jacket of some kind be it his casual black jacket or his Time Lord red and black leather jacket. In addition to these, Piro always kept his leather-bound Vortex Manipulator on his left wrist. On special occasions, Piro also has a collection of suits he can wear. Additionally he even has many clothes relating to specific time periods such as Edwardian clothing.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

Piro has a great many **Force Abilities**, far too many to list. The main ones he uses however are: **Force Push, Stun, Speed, Telepathy, Stealth, Push/Pull** and **Telekenisis**.

### Abilities

#### Time Lord

* **Regeneration:** The Pioneer, being a Time Lord, has the power to regenerate when he is close to death. Regeneration is a way of cheating death for Time Lords, healing them completely, however this process changes every cell in their body, meaning that they have an entirely new face and personality, the choice being out of the hands of the Time Lord/Lady - a completely random process. This Process also can leave a short term side effect known as Post Regenerative trauma. This causes the newly regenerated Time Lord/Lady to be very wacky and foolish, along with causing them to act on random impulses. This process can last for a long or short time. However, Piro was not born with these abilities, rather he was gifted them by Rassilon through his resurrection during the Time War.
* **Time Lord Telepathy:** The psychic ability to sense and manipulate thought, which often manifested as mind-to-mind communication, most Time Lords have or can learn this ability.
* **Respiratory bypass system:** A respiratory bypass system was a part of Gallifreyan physiology which allowed Time Lords to go without breathing for longer periods of time than most humans could.

#### Combat

* **Hand-to-hand Combat**: Piro's time at the Jedi Order taught him a great many things. One of these things was combat training for hand-to-hand fights, just in case his Lightsaber wasn't available to him. He can do many types of unique combat styles and, when paired with his force abilities, can be deadly.
* **Lightsaber Combat**: Piro is also a Master at nearly all Lightsaber combat styles.

#### Other

* **Engineering Mastery:** Piro grew up on Gallifrey and lived his "first life" (his life prior to his first resurrection) as a TARDIS and weapons Engineer. He was often praised for his mastery, some stating for him to be the best engineer to ever come from Gallifrey.

## Equipment

* **Sonic Screwdriver:** Piro has a Sonic Screwdriver, a device usually referred to as a Sonic Probe, it allows the user to do almost anything from opening doors to hacking the most advanced code you can imagine.
* **Laser Screwdriver:** Being founded by Piro during the Time War, The Pioneer uses this weapon to injure his enemies, however in his current incarnation he will refuse to use it at its full power, as to not to kill anyone.
* **Lightsaber:** This Lightsaber, having been created by the Time Lord himself, houses a white Kyber Crystal and is used in only dire situations where violence is needed.
* **Vortex Manipulator:** Made during The Pioneer's early days in the Time Lord Academy, the Vortex Manipulator can travel through space and time, however it can be quite inaccurate with its abilities, and also has the minor chance of burning out dead after use. Additionally, the device takes about an hour to recharge after every use unless it is boosted by a device such as a TARDIS or a Sonic Screwdriver. Piro has made a modification to this device however, allowing it to house the Nano-bots to form his Nano-tech suit.
* **Chameleon Arch Fob Watch:** A piece of Time Lord technology which could modify the biology of an individual, essentially changing their species. Connected to a TARDIS' databank via a cable, the arch resembled a headset incorporating a biodata module. This founded by Piro when he discovered it within his TARDIS.
* **Psychic Paper:** Psychic paper is a blank, white visitor's card that has special psychic properties. When shown to a person, it can usually induce them to see whatever the user expects, wishes, or needs them to see printed on it.
* **Type 89-PNR TARDIS:** A TARDIS of The Pioneer’s own design, that being a heavily modified Type 89 TARDIS from the Time War.
* **Nano-Tech Suit:** Dubbed the "P-Iron Man suit", Piro, after coming into contact with Tony Stark, began to work on an Iron Man like suit of their own as a way to allow him to be able to assist the rest of The Alliance in battle. Piro eventually finished this suit and currently uses it within battles he's involved in. This suit gives him very similar features to Iron Man's Nano Tech suits as well as having a built in Vortex Manipulator and Sonic Screwdriver functions. The suit's nanites are stored with The Pioneer's Vortex Manipulator.
