Your oc Nova? Wouldn’t it make more sense if they were just an updated/newer version of the tardis? Because in the time lord history everyone refers to the doctor’s tardis as ancient to the other time lords tardis.
Also do they have a signature silly outfit and catchphrase like everyone else? 😊
thank you for sending this i Really appreciate it anon
i love talkimg about my silly little creation
it is the highlight of Everything in my days, i do enjoy being creative, and i do so enjoy sharing it, so having someone ask a question about it is FUCKING AWESOME!
side note for the post: i generally use she/her for nova and he/him for the doctor, these are both just distinctions and not indicating gender lmao
anyways!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
on nova:
she is not a tardis personified! she's like a tardis in function but her whole story is that she's an attempt to divert or completely destroy all instances of the time wars so shes like. ok
i havent read enough about the time wars but im dipping into all of the extended universe slowly but surely (im a busy bee but im Making Time)
and im still writing it as i learn more but at the moment but basically nova/teacher/clover/professor whatever they call themselves is a truly desperate grasp at forces that should Never have been Messed With (like the master trying to control literal gods, or if someone tried to use the toymaker as a tool), she was Created to reforge reality, every reality.
the first bit of the story is her with deep memory loss discovering herself over her travels- at first around and later with- the doctor (the man who ended the time war of his reality [still reading/listening to eighth doctor stuff so another in progress bit]) and she obviously finds herself gravitating towards his timeline because of her Purpose and her sort of . just projected timeline? fate? not in a red string way but in like. in the massive collection of pie charts of the universe and time, she happens to overlap with him more than most other beings, even if thats a very 2D way of thinking about it all
so yeah she is more like the toymaker, instrumental force, Thing. than like a tardis? but she was also built (not technology, more ... genetically modified? Rebuilt? if theres a line between the two its blurry like a rectangle is a square but a square isnt a rectangle, in any case the phrase 'she was set into action' is probably the most accurate) and im still writing what she actually is and it helps that i get to intentionally be very vague about it as she puts pieces of memory together to figure out what she is and come to her own conclusions
ill come back to the second bit of the ask in a second because THATS HOW YOU SEE THE TARDIS?
i see her as more of like!!! an old car??? like one other timelords wouldnt expect to see actually Functioning and There on the highway next to them
in terms of like. the civilizations he's (the doctor) touched of Course its ancient feeling because hes the only fuckass madman who interacts with time on such a regular basis in every part of time, so of course some people view his tardis as an ancient entity but in terms of comparing to other timelord's tardis(plural) i think shes just an old model?? i dont think there's anything special about how ancient she is other than her experience travelling compared to literally any other tardis where the timelords have Laws about who can use them and what for
i personally think the other (tardis's tardie tardises tardiss) are a bit snooty and not as alive and doctor-ish as The tardis tends to be described as
anyways back to oc stuff
YES THEY HAVE OUTFITS!!!!!!!!!!! THEY HAVE OUTFITS
nova(1) wears mostly time period fitting clothes so theres nothing super special about what she wears, its just average clothes to fit her person or blend in
teacher(2) when they recover from their regeneration mishap, tends to wear mostly a leather coat they found in the tardis! light casual clothes underneath, usually looking like a Cool substitute teacher or a biker of some sort travelling with the doctor(11) alongside Amelia and Rory, so they kind of stick out a little bit but not as much as the doctor
Clover(3) has a couple different coats (just stealing from the doctor(4) at that point) but mostly wears a casual but pretty-boy button up shirt with dark red suspenders or one of those weapon/adventurer harnesses and midtoned almost khaki but deeper with a bit of red dress pants and dress boots (reminiscent of doctor11)
nova(4) im still making an outfit for!!!!!!! im so excited to finish her design
most of their designs are influenced by the doctor they were "supposed to" travel around, their timelines are shifted around and always kind of feel like theyre just in the wrong time, so im still settling on what nova4 is going to wear as i write her
on catchphrases they do Not have catchphrases but they to have signature faces
you know when in movies people say 'i know that look' but the audience doesnt actually know that look
its like that but the audience actually knows that look, like when a character decides something, when a character's face Falls into something Distinguishable. like 'this character is Feeling right now.'
i included the oh shit and the :( listening face for nova(2) in the last post with a couple notes but every one of their incarnations has a signature Face they pull when things Happen and its silly because they dont know that its happening but everyone else clocks it in the blink of an eye
here's clover's outfit btw
and one on nova(4) :)
i have way too many drawings of all of the nova's btw
do you have any more oc content?? i binge scrolled your page you’re art is very good 😊
whoever you are 1) i love you 2) i love you 3) i love you 4) the one ask that would make me fall in love 5) youre a little perfect to me (i hold you in my hands) 6) i love you
7) yes i do, i have been waiting for nearly a year now for someone to show the smallest ounce of interest. i am going to infodump now, prepare yourself.
lot of doctor who spoilers under the cut (the one oc i have posted before is a doctor who oc who i am utterly insane about that im still writing)
there will be a part 2 because i could barely fit any information in this one post
basically dramatically improved clara's impossible girl but instead of saving the doctor she(genderfluid) saves the people around the doctor and also is Very eternal coded but also built up as a modified time lord but shows up anatomically as human which is WEIRD (i have written so much about it,) they do regenerate like time lords but they dont know How or how many regenerations they have left (I DO. I DO!!!!!) and she is psychic but only Sometimes and can teleport time travel like a human tardis and ok. its . its a lot and theres a Lot more and their story is Very complex (on purpose, i enjoy it as much as i did when i was 12 and theres so much i Haven't written about, it makes me HAPPY.)
ALSO BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME. YES THEIR GIVEN NAME IS NOVA BUT IT MAKES SENSE FOR THE STORY AND I WAS YOUNG WHEN I MADE HER. they go through different names as they find themself so its immediately taken out
everything in her timeline all conviens on the parting of ways but at this point she has No memories and Doesnt Know What's Happened
here is their first(?) incarnation!
(text is not written Prettily but im pretty sure it says "i cant BELIEVE you!!")
i dont have a lot of drawings of her because most of her little adventures dont make sense to her and i don't know how to draw them all in a very Good Way so most of my drawings are of her death ( ... :) she does not travel with the doctor but she does kind of dance around him
during this incarnation she finds out she can human tardis (time/space travel) but only in the doctor's timeline (to be fair she doesnt really think to try anyone else's, but i have a lot of stuff written about this as well, i . i am autistic) and she finds that she has Empathy (a little too much! she is psychic) and wants to save people, she also finds that she has a kind of seer ability (in touch with spacetime as a psychic) so she tries to give people a little longer to say goodbye to their loved ones or , ok there's not a great way to put this but she tries to hide them from the universe (sentient? the thing there are laws about, the thing that cracks, the thing that is fate, the thing that Sees All, the idea of it all, science! magic! everything) to give them just a little more life where she can do so without breaking everything, feeling out the flux in time but in a much more accurate and lenient way than timelords
she doesnt change much about his timeline, he still travels with rose martha and donna, she starts showing up on adventures with him with Midnight! thats where they officially meet, i have the entire rewrite written as if it was in a journal, i also later had the 11th doctor "respond" or make notes in it from his perspective for fun
ok also i said she started showing up on adventures, she is Not consistent and refuses to meet Donna, she disappears on the magic man! what a lady! and from there she jumps around a bit but only shows up when the doctor loses donna and wordlessly kind of takes care of him (i have a picture of it somewhere hidden away in a notebook where she offers him a towel) and then kind of interferes with the mars bit but that is a Lot of writing and mechanics changed and im not talkin about all that rn,
at this point she's still figuring out who she is and her morals and what is Right (interesting time for her to be there while the doctor is also doing the same thing!) but she's also Wildly disoriented and cant remember the majority of what she's been doing
anyways then i Kill Her (she has a thing where she "accidentally" falls into the time war and gets a glimpse of it for the first time, anyways she's in a different control room and set's the tardis coordinated when the doctor regenerates into 11
BOOSH!
fell into the library
then he pulls her out of the library! i have a comic thing for it but its so unfinished i think id be the only one who could make any sense of it (the scrawlings of a madman / THE VOICES!/quote)
uh there's a whole story about 11's first episode
i actually like this version of her so i have many a drawing about her, kind of halfway through is where i stopped writing as a kid and picked it up so its Better and also i Like It More
i also . really Really need to mention that i made this incarnation's original Look in roblox doctor who TARDIS flight simulator and i think that is very real of little me,
anyways here's some art of her (also they/them for number 2) (number 1 mostly kept to she her but because there was very little time to do anything other than fuck around to find out)
first one is probably the closest ive gotten to what she looks like in my head
this version is pretty commonly called the professor (experimenting with gender, also she just does Not know where her name came from and wants to experiment with their own identity!) and when she regenerated something messed up and she almost died again (another one of those written down but itd take too long things) and so she has to have some kind of psychic energy as a kind of tether or she physically cannot draw in breath to breathe, she can get that through immediate physical contact with something with time lord goop in/on it (psychic residuals, anything with emotion or thought tied to it)
tardis and the doctor themself[alive things] are easy and comfortable to latch onto, things like the pocket watch and screwdriver or old clothes [not alive things but very personal affects with a lot of history] are very difficult to focus on and temporary solutions
eventually she makes a contraption like an inhaler but for the goop of gallifrey
this is the first clue that something is wrong btw
anyways she has a really rough getting it together regeneration cycle and stays with the doctor in his timeline but mostly stays in the tardis for a long while, projecting herself outside using a bit of the tardis itself when she can, and if she cant and needs to save someone then she physically goes out (much to the tardis's dismay, they become friends)
she met amy when she was very young but they only find out about her much later
rory actually sees her in the tardis first but the doctor convinces him she was a ghost and blurbed a lot of technobabble about things that dont actually exist but are just odd enough to make him not want to ask and just sensible enough so the doctor sounded confident saying it
then a while later amelia finds her and they become fast friends and rory is like THE GHOST?? and it is silly
professor spends most of her time building the goophaler and then she goes on a lot of adventures! at this point i was really into just writing my own stories with her and the doctor and co if they were there (theres a neat cyberman one i really enjoyed, she has a thing with them, they creep her out the Most)
and then for a long time she avoids any other companions than rory and amy (they are the only fixed companions in this universe) and knows where she can and cannot go (solid feeling of spacetime) and she kind of vibes and has a nice time, she's upfront with the doctor and tells him she knows More than him, and will do her best, this does not always go over well because conflict in media is interesting, and she also tells him her limits and what she remembers and they kind of just try to figure out what she is for a bit, she's a casual tardis occupant for a while and i have like per episode how things are written and changed and a lot of inbetweens (A LOT!)
eventually amelia and rory leave and the doctor goes GRAAAH! DID YOU KNOW >:( and she goes yeah :( and he goes I CANT BELIEVE YOU! (she literally told him she knew, he knows these things are inevitable) and he leaves her ass on an alien market planet for a little bit while he fucks off to earth for a while and, well.
you remember how i said she is like a human tardis? it does not come without drawbacks, and she basically toes the line on total self destruction when she goes too far distance wise, time wise is less harmful to her but like actually teleporting somewhere takes a Lot out of her like getting really sick or even sometimes physically harmed or mentally Deteriorated
in the past she made a few short trips (up to 12 miles apart) that fucked her UP. but it was nothing compared to this

ok i actually cannot fit anything else in this post tumblr is killing me
i havent even gotten to the good bit of it all!!! i will make another one, most of my art is of the next two regenerations! and most of the story is as well
thank you for sending me this ask :) if you actually read this far thank you, genuinely. i know i left out interesting things but tumblr has it out for me so to the next post!
(the pictures in the collage are very much not mine! i just plucked them off of google search using various searches of "evolution of _____" or "picture of ______" they are all at the top :)
