insertmeathere | CANON INFORMATION NIGHT!

The game's pretty big isn't it? With so many characters it's sometimes hard to keep up with everyone's canon and character backgrounds. Not to mention that the apps aren't always placed in the character's journal, and it leaves you wondering how they are, or even where they come from.

WELL WONDER NO MORE! It's time for a canon and character night!

The idea behind this post is primarily an information exchange. Just fill in this form, and think about factoids and things in a list form. Remember, you're trying to sell your character & canon to others, so talk about what makes them unique and fun. With any luck, you'll learn some new things about other people's characters that you can base relationships or friendships on, or even find a new fandom which catches your interest!

Note: Please mark the top of your thread with the canon. This way, other people in your canon can add whatever they want to it, such as their character stuff, and other cool factoids about the canon that they might remember.

You are perfectly fine and more than allowed to ask questions about the fandoms to the other players if you wish as well!

Character: Jamie McCrimmon
Canon: Doctor Who

Interesting things about the character:
- Comes from a family of pipers - both his father and grandfather were pipers for Clan McLaren.
- Originally met the Doctor just after the battle of Culloden in 1746.
- Almost always wears a kilt, unless he's in a disguise of some sort of another, or a spacesuit.
- Is more than familiar with being captured.
- Has left the known universe, winding up in a place called the Land of Fiction, where he has met a Rapunzel.
- Along with Zoe, has had his memory of his travels with the Doctor removed, except for his first adventure. In at least two of the audio adventures, they were temporarily restored but then removed again.
- Why does Eleven keep going on about a paradox involving Jamie in game? Well, it's due to this. Aren't different timelines fun?

Interesting things about the canon/fandom:
- There's differing opinions about what's canon and what isn't for Who. Some people like to include everything, some people discount things that aren't actually televised, and some of us include what we're familiar with as long as it makes some sort of sense. Given this, things have a habit of sometimes contradicting themselves. IE: Eleven states apples are rubbish, but Two was seen happily eating them on screen.
- A very large chunk of One and Two's episodes do not exist on video. This is due to the BBC's archiving policies at the time. Luckily Doctor Who fans made audio recordings so some records of the episodes do still exist. Along with those, reconstructions and animations have been created using the audio material and the scripts.
- The reason Jamie's face changes in 'The Mind Robber' is actually due to the fact that Frazer Hines got chicken pox and had to miss a week of filming. There's a rumor that the actor who replaced him, Hamish Wilson, is his cousin, which is not true. However, Frazer's brother Ian does have a small part in this particular serial.
- Like Cam stated, Jamie has had one of the longest runs of any on-screen companion of the Doctor, joining in the Second Doctor's second serial. However, this is in part due to the number of episodes that were made, as serials for Classic Who varied in length. For example, 'The Highlanders', Jamie's first serial, is 4 episodes and 'The War Games', his last regular appearance, has 10. At the time, each season was comprised of seven serials. Add that with his cameo in 'The Five Doctors' and his appearance in 'The Two Doctors', and you have a lot of Jamie even before you get into any spin-off media.
- Frazer does a scarily accurate impression of Patrick Troughton's Doctor, which can be heard in many of Big Finish's audio books. He's also done an impression of Colin Baker's Doctor in said audios which is also fairly good.
