The Fisherman

The Fisherman is an agent in the Department of Floaters, Special Operations Division. He is written by Fish Custard and is currently partnered with Agent Evie. He is a Time Lord native to the Doctor Who continuum.

First Fisherman
The first Fisherman (the one to crash-land in PPC HQ) was tall, with thin, short, grey hair and green-brown eyes. He was a conservative dresser, preferring a shirt, jeans and work boots. He also had a penchant for rushing headlong into things, missing the obvious and asking the wrong questions. Little is known to the PPC about this first incarnation, since the Fisherman regenerated shortly after crash-landing.

Second Fisherman
The second Fisherman is much younger, with brown-red hair and grey eyes. He usually wears a black casual shirt, black trousers and colourful trainers. He prefers to improvise weapons as and when necessary, although it is known that he carries a Sycorax energy whip in his TARDIS.

This version's personality is best summed up as "energetic." He seems to treat the whole multiverse as something of a playground, marveling at the smallest thing (which often causes him to miss the big, nasty thing sneaking up behind him). He's prone to forget rather important things (like retrieving a canon character from a plothole), and always seems to be concentrating on the next thing to do.

However, he has a particular distaste for technical errors in writing, especially (and probably understandably, given his home continuum) those that lead to temporal problems, and often starts rambling incessantly when encountering them. Bad science also disturbs him greatly, and he is often wont to describe exactly what would happen if a Suethor's description of something became reality. It follows that he is a firm advocate of using the Reality Room in executions.

Agent History
The Fisherman first encountered the PPC when his TARDIS Type-57 passed through a plothole in his home continuum, depositing him in an isolated testing grid within the Department of Sufficiently Advanced Technology. When exploring, he came across Agent Chase testing a partly reformed humanoid GLaDOS entity. The entity, with most of its original programming intact, promptly shot the Fisherman.

It was this, along with the injuries sustained in the crash, that prompted his regeneration. Upon waking up he was offered the chance to join the PPC, as returning him to his home continuum would have been temporally problematic. He accepted, and after passing basic training, went on to familiarise himself with several continua, with a particular focus on video game and anime 'verses.

His TARDIS was upgraded with standard PPC technology, allowing it to travel the Word Worlds and act as a response center. However, given the increased sentience of the Type-57, the technology is somewhat temperamental. For instance, once the TARDIS has materialised in a fic, it is very difficult to move it to a different point in said fic. As a result, Fish and Evie have to resort to standard remote activators on most occasions.

After being partnered with Agent Evie (who just happened to be the anthropomorphic GLaDOS he encountered earlier), he embarked on his first mission to the Haruhi Suzumiya continuum, fixing a particularly squicky mess.
