How old is the Master?

[unfeathered]

Do we have any idea, in canon? From the way he and the Doctor always seem to be on the same timeline, and the fact they were children together, it seems to be a reasonable assumption that he's the same age as the Doctor - but I can't find anything that says anything about his age!

(And no, this thought was not inspired by me trying to put together a profile of the Master so I can join in Becky's RP game. Not at all. I DON'T HAVE THE TIME!

Yeah. Tell that to the Master. *g*)

I meant scary as in having no idea if I can carry it off - I've never done any RP before and it'd feel a lot safer to start off with a character who was as nervous as I am, iyswim.

I'm going to need a lot of help and guidance at first!

even if the one thread is frustrating the hell out of me.

The one with Becky? It may be frustrating for you, but I can tell you it's making for awesome reading! :-)

If you want any help, just ask, everyone's friendly, and will help! And if you want to lock a thread to a certain player or character to make the first one or two easier (as in you know vaguely what the Master's response would be to the character, or you have an idea as to that person's style of writing), do that.

*nods* Yeah, the one with Becky, with Jack and Ianto, and... *whimpers* I keep getting stuck! Though I'm glad it's making for awsome reading.

Thank you - that's good to know.

I won't be able to do anything till tomorrow, as I'm having an evening with hubby tonight, but I really do hope to have a go then.

And yeah, Becky's said she'll help me get started so I guess I'll play with her to begin with, which should make it easier as I know her well - but I'm kind of looking forward to meeing your scary Ianto, too... *g*

*grins* Should be interesting, seeing as my scary Ianto knows a Master, just not the one he'd run into...

Have fun, and it'll be very cool to see you come over and play when you get the time!
