Jon St. Myth

Daktari Jonas Ambaye, more often called Dr. Jon St. Myth, was a non-human adventurer who travelled with Berenice and Dorothea Gale in the Collapsing Universe. (PROSE: Blood Heat Second Iteration)

Biography
His people dedicated themselves to learning what lay beyond the cosmological horizon of the expanding universe. They built great Ships to "bridge infinity", and all of them set out to explore beyond the edge. But the doctor fled the last of these great Ships in a stolen life raft, the Trisected Abutment Reality Disconnect. None of his people ever returned from their trip, and he occupied himself by seeking adventures within the observable universe which would distract him from the ultimate question.

He had memories of thirteen "once and future selves", incarnations which he explained as "ghosts"; they bore symbols including a cat badge, a penny whistle, and a signet ring. According to a data fragment retrieved from cloud storage, the doctor was uncertain if there was a single identity behind these "fun-house mirror" reflections. (PROSE: Blood Heat Second Iteration)

Appearance
He had black skin with white spots like stars. (PROSE: Blood Heat Second Iteration)

Behind the scenes
"This is how we come to a 'Flux Doctor' who's essentially a piebald giant 'Robinson Crusoe' type (Yo, !) with black hair and ripped gear (shouts Messrs and ), skin like a summer sky on a happier world (thanks ': ) a penchant for pirate bling (respec' Mr Cream, and Mr Moore) and a jaunty Buffy-style eloquence ('nuff said, ), with a TARDis that is very definitely not a TARDIS […]; the Doctor committed an Act of Ultimate Triage on his own world to stop them ¤¤¤¤ing up the universe with time travel; and he's a very different personality to any Doctor who's come before."
 * With the traditional British pronunciation of "St." in personal names, "Jon St. Myth" is pronounced similar to "John Smith", a frequent alias of the Doctor in Doctor Who. Daktari is Swahili for "doctor", and Ambaye is a rough translation of the Swahili pronoun "whom".
