Team up

If you were running investigations into and defense from non-human threats in the UK, who would be on your team?
What roles, and what characters to fill those roles?
Would you work in secret or be public?
Where would your base be?
What would be your main focus?



I feel like setting up an RPG campaign or something.


I was just taking a story for a wander... okay, setting out on my epic MarySue adventures with the premise that it all went horribly wrong and I have to start over with contacts made in former adventures and equipment and other resources that all have to have a plausible source.

So far I've ended up in the Master's secret backup skybase/spaceship (somewhat smaller version), with James Bond (from Casino Royale) and that clone!Jack from Stargate (only college age now, and in no way jailbait). I'd steal Ianto for admin/organising but Captain Jack has a bigger benefits package than me. And I haven't thought of a techie yet. Or a languages&cultures person. I was thinking of recruiting offplanet for the tech - they might be a clumsy apprentice back home, but here they're the whizkid of the future. Languages is harder, about the only person on TV is Daniel Jackson and, er, I haven't finished watching Stargate so I don't know what's up with him lately. Giles knows a bunch of languages but he's the boss of his lot and not really a skybase kind of person. Cultures could borrow from Sentinel.

... I find myself wondering how many languages a certain mountie actually speaks, from how many different kinds of groups... wolf on a skybase could maybe be unmixy though...

We'd be Torchwood 5, because they locked up all of 1s resources and put a committee in charge of it but there's no rule against making up a new one. And then we'd fly around the country dealing with all the alien threats that don't happen to be in Cardiff or require UNIT scale intervention.



See, this is what happens when I'm bored.


If left to myself much longer I'll break out the GURPS books and start figuring out backgrounds and points costs for a plausible group.

(no subject)

so far nobody wants to play at making up teams :-(

It's like xovers with no logic! Fun! Just import the characters and see what happens!

Okay, usually what happens in xovers is sex. Usually what happens in fanfic is sex. So there could be a team picked solely for teh pretty. It's not like there's any rules.




Yesterday's flight of fancy where I decided the Master left behind a backup skybase (slightly smaller) has developed some twists. To run the Torchwood files clearly it needs to have a living computer. And obviously the Master would imprint it with his personality just to make sure it was loyal. Only he'd have to tweak it a bit so they wouldn't get in fights all the time about which one precisely was the Master in actual point of fact. Plus the ship wouldn't have the time sense unless it incorporated chunks of TARDIS and there's only one TARDIS to play with.
... but they grow. Huh.

ANYways... in my head I'm now trying to negotiate with a living ship with most of the Master's personality to try and get it to do anything.

Clearly this is a vital and productive use of my time.




*facepalm*


... it's decided it needs a new name. and to tweak it's avatar a bit.
... Master with tattoos and piercings?
... my brain is a very weird neighbourhood.
