Davros (Palindrome)

In a parallel universe where the Thals and Kaleds lived in peace on Skaro for centuries, Davros was a scientist of transdimensional engineering, as was his Thal wife, Charn.

Initially, Davros did not create any Daleks due to the Thousand Year War of the N-Space Skaro not occurring on this universe's Skaro. However, when Davros began the final tests on a transdimensional portal that he and Charn had spent decades creating, he accidentally allowed the Dalek Time Strategist to cross into his universe. Despite the efforts of the Eighth Doctor and Bliss, the Time Strategist succeeded in transforming Davros into a fusion of Davros's numerous selves from throughout the multiverse. As Davros's original personality was slowly erased in favour of a fusion of his alternate selves, Davros and the Dalek Time Strategist allied to resurrect the Daleks of N-Space through a similar process, annihilating the Skaro of Davros' universe and eventually breaking back into N-Space to resume the Last Great Time War.

After an altercation with the newly-resurrected Dalek Emperor sparked a brief civil conflict amongst the Daleks, Davros was placed into stasis, as the Emperor believed that he would be useful in the Time War.

Creating the dimensional portal
Davros spent several years of his life studying transdimensional engineering and attempting to construct a dimensional portal. At some point, he learnt the "legend" of his universe's Time Lords' destruction after they tried to wipe out the early Kaleds, thereby starting the centuries of peace between the Kaleds and the Thals. Eventually, he met Charn, and they married each other. Charn assisted Davros in the later calculations necessary to construct the dimensional portal, and after several decades, the couple had completed the portal. Having already shown the portal to their friends, Davros and Charn began fully activating the dimensional portal to ensure that they were ready to publicly unveil the portal to the media and their investors.

Day 5
Four days after first activating the dimensional portal, Davros and Charn checked the portal in its lab while eating breakfast, but as they began returning to their house, the couple encountered the Eighth Doctor, who frantically told them that Bliss was waiting for them and that they were in immediate danger. Davros, unaware of who the Doctor was or what he was referring to, dismissed him as a lunatic and shut the Doctor out of the lab. Davros then attempted to call the police, but his communicator malfunctioned; seconds later, numerous bronze Daleks attacked the lab and confronted Davros and Charn, although Bliss was able to attack the Daleks with a Dalek gunstick as the trio escaped to the dimensional portal. Inside, the Doctor activated the portal, but was exterminated, along with Bliss and Charn, by the Daleks. Although Davros fled through the dimensional portal, the Daleks simultaneously destroyed it, sending him back along his own timeline.

Day 4
Waking up in bed with Charn three days after first activating the portal, Davros initially dismissed the Dalek attack on his lab as a nightmare, only to realise from Charn that he had travelled back in time. Davros and Charn then ate breakfast and watched the news, which was reporting that several Thal districts had been annihilated. Answering a knock at the door, Davros encountered the Doctor and Bliss again, who had no memory of the Dalek attack on Davros' lab. Confused, Davros angrily ordered the Doctor and Bliss to leave and attempted to wake up from what he believed was a dream within a dream, but to no avail. Davros then told Charn that they should leave, and the couple drove in their hovercar to the bridge leading out of town, only to be ambushed by a Dalek attack squad which destroyed the bridge and exterminated Davros and Charn. It was at this point that Davros began recognising the Daleks, due to both the Dalek attack on his lab the previous day, and Charn's commentary about "some sort of accident on the bridge" on the news on said day.

Day 3
Upon waking up in bed again with Charn in his house, Davros nervously believed that the Doctor and Bliss would arrive, but when they didn't turn up at his front door, Davros asked Charn to drive him to the Gallow's Inn; the day before, the Doctor and Bliss had mentioned to Davros that they were staying there. At the Gallow's Inn, Davros explained his situation to the Doctor and Bliss, and the trio drove to the ruins of the Thal districts destroyed by the Daleks earlier that day. At the ruined districts, Bliss stole a gunstick from a dead Dalek, and the Doctor, Bliss and Davros followed the remaining Daleks to their base; a factory owned by the Davros Foundation. Outside the factory, the Doctor, Bliss and Davros witnessed the arrival of Davros' future self - mistaking him for the Davros of N-Space - who greeted the returning Daleks and ordered them to prepare further. Knowing that they could not confront the Daleks without a proper plan, the Doctor, Bliss and Davros began to leave, but Davros theorised that, based on his experiences of the past two days, if he were to die again, he would wake up on the day before the Dalek attacks on the Thal districts, granting the trio enough time to infiltrate Davros' factory and stop the Daleks. Despite the Doctor's protests, Bliss agreed to exterminate Davros with her gunstick, sending Davros back in time once again.

Day 2
Davros awoke again in bed with Charn in his house, and quickly left for the Gallow's Inn, much to Charn's distress. At the inn, Davros explained his situation to the Doctor and Bliss again, and the trio travelled to Davros' factory. However, despite sneaking in via a backdoor, the Doctor, Bliss and Davros were confronted by a group of partially-reconstructed Daleks, who exterminated the Doctor and Bliss and ordered Davros to follow. Davros was confronted by his future self, who pretended to be the Davros of N-Space, and revealed to Davros' past self that the "legends" of his universe's Time Lords were fact. Davros' future self also lied to his past self that the Doctor, a Time Lord from N-Space, had wiped out the Kaleds of N-Space and intended to do the same to the Kaleds of Davros's universe. Despite his confusion, Davros agreed to being exterminated by the Daleks so as to go back in time again and stop the Doctor and Bliss from travelling through his dimensional portal in the first place.

Day 1
Davros awoke in bed with Charn in his house once again, and swiftly checked on the portal. When the Doctor and Bliss began to cross through the portal, Davros, choosing to believe the words of his future self, destroyed the portal, despite Charn's protests.

Day 1
Awaking in bed with Charn again, Davros initially believed that he had successfully restored the timeline, as time began moving forwards again. However, upon testing the portal again to be sure, the Dalek Time Strategist crossed through. After hiding the Time Strategist from Charn, Davros learnt from the Time Strategist that the latter had crossed over from the Doctor's universe immediately before "one of his many incarnations" erased the Daleks from history, and that the Dalek Time Strategist had been actively scouring the multiverse for an alternative Davros' assistance after the Davros of N-Space was "lost". Believing the Dalek Time Strategist's lies that the Doctor desired to eradicate the Kaleds of Davros' universe, Davros agreed to the Time Strategist's plan of fusing echoes of alternate universes to that of Davros via his portal, thereby allowing the Daleks to be restored by fusing the Daleks' alternate universe selves from across the multiverse with the Kaleds of Davros' universe; in exchange, Davros would be able to make the Daleks more peaceful.

Davros wired the Dalek Time Strategist's mutant body into his portal, and, as the alternate universe echoes began fusing with Davros' universe, Davros began to merge with his alternate universe selves. After losing the ability to feel his legs, Davros fell unconscious, just as the Doctor and Bliss crossed through the portal.

Day 2
One day later, Davros awoke in the Davros Foundation's factory, having begun to fuse with echoes of every Davros from across the multiverse; he was now confined to a similar life-support chair that his N-Space counterpart used, and used an artificial eye to see, as he had gone blind in his natural eyes. After a partially-reconstructed Dalek explained Davros' condition to him, Davros followed the Dalek to the Dalek Time Strategist, who explained that due to the ongoing multidimensional fusion, the Davros Foundation's factory were mass-producing Daleks across infinite universes. Whilst struggling between his original personality and those of his alternate selves, Davros then remembered that his past self would attempt to break into the factory with the Doctor and Bliss that day, and arranged a trap to ensure that the past Davros would bring his future self into existence.

Eventually Davros met his past-self and convinced his past-self to destroy the portal and after trying to kill The Doctor and Bliss but finding out they could not die due to the portal; he concluded that he needed to destroy the portal once all of his Daleks were fully stabilised.

The Daleks did stabilise in the end, but The Doctor and Bliss managed to escape to N-Space where they warned the Time Lords. (AUDIO: Dreadshade)

Arrival in N-Space
The Daleks then used the parallel Davros as a dimensional anchor around whom they drew out. Davros found the process very painful and was angry at the Dalek Time Strategist sidelining him. He abandoned the Daleks, arriving in N-Space via the Gulf of Ithon and landing on the planet Cosca, where he established himself in the royal court. As "Sir Davros", he began converting the planet's 40,000 inhabitants into the ultimate warrior - a cybernetic gestalt which their queen's mind would guide. He was visited periodically by the Time Strategist which drained dimensional energy from him to continue the restoration of the Daleks through the power of the Multiverse. The Doctor and Bliss arrived on Cosca and discovered Davros, with him attempting to convert Bliss into a new warrior until being interrupted by the Time Strategist again. The Doctor drove the Time Strategist away, being pulled into its wormhole in the process, leaving Davros with Bliss who held him at gunpoint and informed Cardinal Rasmus. As the Daleks, now led by a resurrected Dalek Emperor to Davros' fury, advanced on Cosca, Rasmus came to take Davros into custody. Davros made Rasmus an offer; He demonstrated his new warriors by sending them against the Daleks, and claimed he would give this power to the Time Lords. Rasmus briefly considered the offer, however the Doctor contacted him and Bliss telling them to abandon Davros to the Daleks. They did so, using Davros' equipment to revert his warriors back to normal as they fled, and the Daleks captured Davros.

As the Doctor had anticipated, Davros was brought before the Emperor who demanded his obedience. Davros defied the Emperor, instigating a schism among the Daleks present over who of the two should lead them. A small-scale civil war erupted, in which the Emperor eventually prevailed. Believing Davros may still be of some use in the Time War, the Dalek Emperor decided to have him stored on Falkus, though with the loss of the Time Strategist's dimensional enclave Davros was now dimensionally unstable.
