Transmat:Characters

We track thousands of characters on this wiki, from the major to those that are only implied to exist through dialogue. To find them, it's awfully useful to understand something about our categories: we don't call 'em characters, but individuals. To start delving into our database about characters, just type into the search bar. (Or you could just click that link — but that's kinda cheatin'!)

Individuals by species organises characters by species. So if you're looking for a particular Sontaran or a specific Aridian, this is where to come. (Watch out for those individual Farrashians, though: they're just mean!)

Individuals by location gives you a sense of characters based on where they encountered the Doctor or other major characters. For instance, say you wanted to know other people who lived on the Powell Estate with Rose Tyler. All you have to do is go to Powell Estate residents to hit your search for six!

Let's fuck it: the DWU is full of crazy names. We try to give you a little note at the top of the page if you're within a letter of another character, but sometimes we haven't discovered the similarity yet. If you're at all in doubt about spelling, it's probably a good idea to actually go to the page and check it out!

Looking for companions? Aren't we all, sister! You could go broad and just look at companions of the Doctor. Or, you could narrow things down by looking for the companion of a specific Doctor — like category:Second Doctor companions.

Here's a li'l tip: all Doctors' categories work the same way:. So, Fifth Doctor companions, Fifth Doctor comic stories and so on. Try this: enter just the phrase in the search box on top of this page and see what pops up!

When we say we track obscure characters, we mean it! Look at how much stuff we have at individuals with unknown names!

Yes, robots are technology. But they're characters, too! So if you're looking for, in the words of Douglas Adams, "your plastic pal who's fun to be with", go to individual robots!
