Well, here goes nothin'...
Character: Dr. Claw
Traits: A maniacal mastermind, Claw is a genius who has only ever been fooled by blind luck... on numerous occasions... far too numerous. It is difficult for Claw to account for foolhardiness, okay?
Where from: Inspector Gadget. Dr. Claw is the main bad guy
History: Dr. Claw was the proud owner of a small shoestring business, handed down through generations, until one of Inspector Gadget's escapades accidentally caused the total demolition of his shoestring factory. Dr. Claw survived, but with severe burns on his hands. When he recovered, he vowed revenge against Inspector Gadget, and pulled some strings in order to build up a new corporation, and because he was enraged, he called it M.A.D., and enlisted several men in a grand scheme of robberies, embezzlement, and all sorts of fraud.
The trauma of the fire and destruction of his factory convinced him to attempt to create for himself an empire, but whenever he sought revenge on Inspector Gadget, he lost millions of dollars in equipment and locations. Eventually, however, everybody he had enlisted to be either henchman, under-the-table supporter, or any sort of evil aid left him, and Dr. Claw lost everything. His corporation collapsed with no more funding and no more support. He currently seeks methods for rebuilding M.A.D., trying to recover the only life he now knows.
Villain
Reasons Why I Chose Dr. Claw: There is a severe lack of villains. And I want to see if I can pull it off being Dr. Claw.

How many days a week you intend on posting in the RPG: Once.
Sample Post:
The gloved hands of the pompous gentleman who strode through the archway were caressing a cat, who lay perfectly still as its eyes surveyed its surroundings. He strode gallantly toward the table and seated himself with the gray, long-haired cat on his lap and out of sight. The other four denizens of the table scrutinized the addition, but said nothing.
What? he demanded. The cat sat up and eyed everybody. I was invited. You invited me yourself, Auric.
I realize that, replied the pudgy man to his right as he fingered the gold fork in his place setting. But I did not realize you were bringing a cat with you.
And I did not realize that you got silverware made of gold, came the reply.
Ha! More like goldware, right? erupted the short man to Auric's right. ...Right?
Shut up, Boris, came the gruff input from the third, though far shorter. Or should I say, fat Borat? Your dumbass moustache looks like an anemic caterpillar.
Now you don't talk to Boris that way, uh, Charles. My r
The name's Chucky, ****-for-brains! What did you have for breakfast? Cap'n Dunce?
Easy... uh, Chucky, put in the fourth man with a raised. We don't want to get expelled before we get our food.
And what is your name? inquired the newcomer.
Oh, good evening, my name is Wormer. Vernon Wormer. Perhaps you know me? I'm the Dean over at Dartmouth College. And you are?
Dr. Claw, at your service, he replied proudly.
Why? asked Chucky.
What?
Why are you Dr. Claw? You've got both of your hands. You ain't wearin' no claw. At least Captain Hook was wearin' a hook.
Well, Claw just so happens to be my name, thank you very much. I don't know where people get off thinking I actually have a claw for a hand. I mean, how cliché do you think I am?
I say **** it, pull a coup and name you, Carnage, and myself the GMs. We've been keeping the RPG afloat!

List a few reasons why you chose this character: I am a huge Doctor Who fan, as in really huge. With the new Doctor around, it gives me a chance to try and write for him, and to have a lot of fun with my favourite character ever created. Before, when I was last in this RPG, somebody had been using him, and setting something up, but as 11 was involved at all with that, it gives me a fresh page to do my own thing.
Write two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG: With the Doctor and the various characters, aliens and monsters that go with him, I think I can add something new. Also, I really love the concept of this RPG, so I'd be a willing player.
How many days a week you intend on posting in the RPG: My minimum would be once a week, but I'll try as much as I can.
Please provide a small sample post as your character, at least three paragraphs and one line of dialogue in length:
The Doctor ran around the TARDIS console, stopping temporarily to type instructions into the typewriter attached to the console.
"So, where're we going?" Amy Pond asked the Time Lord, as she lent against the barrier surrounding the console.
"2678, Andromeda System, humans start colonising Gremor Minor. Most beautiful planet in all of the Andromeda System, and we're heading for 2676," The Doctor explained, hitting the blue stabilisers.
"Any particular reason?"
"The peak of beauty, nothing's been touched, and the wildlife is docile. Except the fluid mosquitoes, but I've got bug spray, no worries there."
The TARDIS groaned, and the Doctor smiled slightly, as the time machine landed at it's destination. He moved swiftly over to the double doors and pulled them open, sticking his head out into the jungle beyond, a purple sky hanging over him and the TARDIS. Satisfied, he stepped out, followed by Amy.
"Beautiful."
"Told you so, I don't lie. Well, don't lie much, but I'm sure General Custer would disagree..." The Doctor told her, whipping out his sonic screwdriver and scanning a leaf.
As Amy walked onwards into the wild beauty, the TARDIS next to them groaned and creaked. The Doctor looked towards it, a look of surprise, screwdriver still aimed towards the leaf in front of him. He turned the rest of his body towards the ship, dropping the device into his pocket.
It groaned again, and the Doctor's eyes widened as he saw the light atop the box blink, the groaning loud, like the engines ready to take off, but almost like the time machine was half broken. The Doctor ran towards it and bounded through the doors, into the large console room. The doors behind him slammed shut, and the Doctor spun around to face them, as the TARDIS dematerialised.
"What are you doing, dear?" cried out the Doctor to his ship, as it bashed around the time vortex, heading for oblivion.
