Tom Charrington

Tom Charrington was a human living in the Earth Empire.

He had an IQ of 137. He was in love with Emily Rutherford, whose IQ was 192. Since their IQs were more than fifty points apart, regulations would not allow them work permits or social services, nor allow any children that they might have to go to school.

They decided it was best not to continue their relationship under such conditions. Separation Day Inc. sent them to say their goodbyes in a reproduction of the library where they first met.

However, their surroundings start to darken and disintegrate. The Third Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith arrive in the TARDIS. The Doctor told Emily and Tom that if they do not stay together, the events that result from that decision would lead to the destruction of the universe, which what was happening around them was foreshadowing.

The Director of Separation Day Inc. appeared to stop the Doctor, but changed into a mentally and physically misshapen creature, then exploded. Emily and Tom chose to stay together and everything returned to normal. (PROSE: Separation Day)
