Greetings Lance,

So I finished Regeneration Bio 5.

5.      Fifth Incarnation: 10,938-11,382 years old.

Traumatized by the circumstances of his previous self’s death and what he viewed as a failure to protect his crew Nicholas relocated to Earth near the start of the Victorian Era in 1838.

Overall this regeneration had a colder attitude and he would snap at those he deemed to be wasting his time. He also dealt harshly with any threats alien or otherwise in an unforgiving manner. He did however possess a gentle side which became obvious when he interacted with those that society had discarded such as the impoverished, the sick, or elderly.

During his first year in his new surroundings Nicholas would come up against a Lycanthrope living in the newly opened London-Birmingham Railway line that preyed mostly upon the poorest of London’s denizens. Finding the beast after it had trapped several children Nicholas lured it away with planted sonic mines before it could attack the youths; instead corralling the shape shifter onto the mainline of the track where it would be struck and killed by an oncoming train. According to the Time Lord as he later spoke of the incident saying he ‘Had no conceivable notion that the train was coming but it was quite timely’.

In 1840 Nicholas befriended Charles Dickens and the pair would often chat over the latest drafts of his novels. Nicholas has been cited as saying that The Cricket on the Hearth is his ‘favourite of Charlie’s imaginative writings’ of which he possesses a signed first edition. Among the pairs numerous adventures they would encounter ghosts in the Theatre Royal on Drury Lane in the winter of 1848. These included the Ghost in Grey whose stabbed remains were recovered from inside a walled up passageway with the duo’s assistance.

In 1851 Nicholas would attend the Great Exhibition to observe the technological advancements on display. The exhibition was attacked by an army of damaged Cybermen looking to repair their Time Ship and convert Humans to their ranks. This would be the first time Nicholas would encounter these mechanized men. However Nick was able to destroy the remnants of the Cybermen with help from Samuel Colt who had been at the exhibition to show off his prototype Dragoon and Walker revolvers. This interventionism brought the Time Lord to the attention of Queen Victoria whom he rescued during the scuffle. Because of this Nicholas formed a lasting friendship with the sovereign becoming one of her most trusted advisors. The Queen would create the Knights Order of the Silver Seraphim in 1853 of which Nicholas was assigned command. They were a secret society tasked with ‘Protecting the interests of the crown and its colonies from threats beyond the mundane by all means deemed appropriate’. This society would operate heavily during the Crimean War which was started unbeknownst to history as a means to stop the spread of the Great Vampire Families in Russia.

Nicholas would lead the Seraphim into handling numerous incidents around this time. These included knowingly causing the Great Sheffield Flood of 1864 to drown an invading force of Squall, extra dimensional hive minded parasites which drained the memories from their victims leaving them dead husks that wept blood. The group also rescued workers from the Oaks Explosion in 1866 after a buried alien power source was unearthed and went critical. In 1870 the Knights Order responded to the sinking of the RMS Atlantic off the coast of Nova Scotia. It was discovered that a school of Mermaids had caused the ship to smash into underwater rocks. Of the 952 souls aboard the Atlantic only 371 survived. In 1888 the Seraphim were pitted against Jack the Ripper whom Nicholas suspected was a Ghoul or Vampire of some variety. Ultimately Nicholas was forced to let the Ripper escape to preserve the course of history and prevent the Reapers from killing millions to sterilize the ensuing paradox.

Cause of Regeneration: Staring in 1872 Nicholas would track a string of infant murders when their bodies were recovered from the Thames. The gruesome trail would lead to one Amelia Dyer who worked as a ‘baby farmer’ caring for adopted babies. However she often killed the children and absconded with the money. Having caught up to Dyer in 1896 Nicholas would prevent the deaths of more victims but would die himself after being fatally stabbed in the neck during the killer’s attempt to escape.

So my question here is mainly is the Regeneration too dark? There's creative licence but it is based around historical fact. Think about it and let me know.

Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.
