Ninth Doctor Companions

Name: Rose Tyler
Race: Human
Time of Origin: Early 21st Century
Planet of Origin: Earth

In the first of the new series entitled 'Rose', we find her working as a shop assistant. She has a boyfriend named Mickey Smith, lives in a council-flat with her mother Jackie and is generally bored with her mundane life

One night, after the shops close, she encounters mannequins coming to life in the basement of Henrik's. The Autons are about to dispose of her when the ninth Doctor saves her life, although he proceeds to destroy the building, thus costing Rose her job.

From that moment on, she aids the Doctor in saving the Earth, and agrees to travel with him after her told her he could go to anywhere and anywhen.

At the end of the ninth Doctor's time, Rose looks into the heart of the TARDIS and absorbs the energies of the time vortex in order to save the Doctor and the Earth from the Daleks. However, soon the energies she absorbed begin to destroy her body. The Doctor, through a kiss, absorbs the power, sacrificing his ninth incarnation and regenerating before Rose's eyes into the Tenth Doctor

Rose is initially disconcerted at the Doctor's transformation, and is even more distressed when the Doctor falls into a post-regenerative coma. However, when the Doctor recovers and defeats the Sycorax, who were planning an invasion, Rose happily accepts his new face and manner.

During a visit home, Rose and the Doctor find that both the Cybermen and the Daleks are invading their Earth. Although Rose and the Doctor manage to remove both enemies from Earth, by sucking them into the Void, Rose is lost from the Doctor as she herself nearly falls in. She is saved just in time by her father but at the cost of being trapped in a parallel universe.

Later, the Doctor manages to project his image through the last crack between the universes, sharing a tearful farewell with her. Rose mentions working with that parallel Earth's version of Torchwood due to her experience with aliens.

After last seeing Rose, the Doctor would often become depressed at the mere mention of her name, or whenever he is reminded of her. Towards the end of their time together, there was a strong sense of love between the two, so much so that Rose admitted her feelings for him. When the Doctor was about to reply however, the transition cut off leaving a sobbing Rose.

Rose was a strong willed and passionate person, who had a strong sense of justice. It was her kindness and devotion that managed to add joy to the ninth Doctor's gloomy personality. She also got on well with all of the other companions, though occasionally seemed irritated or dismissive of her semi-boyfriend, Mickey.

Name: Adam Mitchell
Race: Human
Time of Origin: 2012
Planet of Origin: Earth

Adam first appears in 'Dalek', where he cataloged extraterrestrial artefacts. Adam is also a computer genius, having successfully hacked into the U.S department of defense computers when he was eight years old.

When a lone 'Dalek' begins killing all those in the bunker where Adam works, he finds himself running from it along with Rose. At the end of the episode, Rose asks the Doctor to take Adam along with them in the TARDIS as he hass always wanted to see the stars.

During 'The Long Game', Adam has an advanced computer interface port installed in his head so he could access the future's computer systems. This act nearly caused the death of both the Doctor and Rose and, as a result the Doctor returns Adam to his home.

Name: Captain Jack Harkness
Race: Unknown
Time of Origin: 51st Century
Planet Of Origin: Boeshane Peninsula

Jack first appeared in the two-parter episodes 'The Empty Child' and 'The Doctor Dances'. Rose meets him during the London Blitz in 1941, where he is posing as an American Captain (and is truly a Time Agent who has had him memory partially erased). Jack initially tries to con her and the Doctor but as he becomes deeply involved and a key member of the team, he is transformed from the con man he was into a hero.

In 'The Parting of the Ways', he is shot dead opposing the Daleks, but Rose brings him back to life while suffused with the power of the time vortex. This had the untimely effect of providing Jack with immortality, so what ever happened, he could not die.

Because of the Doctors instinct of feeling that Jack was 'wrong' as he could not die, The captain was left in the year 2100. Here, he managed to travel back to Earth and arrived in the year 1869. Once there, he decided to wait until he could meet up with the Doctor again.

During this long wait, Jack became head of Torchwood in Cardiff. Here, it appears that Jack is a changed man. He keeps himself wrapped in mystery and sometimes appeared ruthless and violent, although, usually it was for the greater good. He also displays a deep compassion for those who are suffering especially when it is revolved around death.

When the Doctor lands in Cardiff to refuel, Jack jumps on the disappearing ship. But, like the Doctor, the TARDIS has an instinct that Jack simply 'feels' wrong and, while trying to shake him off, arrives at the end of the universe.

Jack aids the Doctor and Martha in trying to stop the Master from ruling the universe - during which he spends a year in chains and being constantly killed by the Master for enjoyment.
When the Doctor offers Jack a secondary chance to travel with him, Jack refuses, opting to stay and command Torchwood.

It is reveled that, as Jack cannot die, he will consequently run into the Doctor many thousands of year later, though the Doctor will not recognize him as he has changed to resemble a giant, telepathic face, known only as the Face of Boe.
