Biography[]
Leaving his universe[]
Nobody No-One is a Word Lord originated from a universe made of words, exists at 45 billion dimensions to the left of the Doctor's universe (N-Space). He owns a vehicle calls a "CORDIS (Conveyance Of Repeating Dialogue In Space-time)" which is the equivalent of a TARDIS, and use it to leaves his universe and travels across the multiverse. Nobody targets the Doctor to collect one or more of the many bounties issued by many alien races, including Daleks and Cybermen.
Nobody No-One is actually a linguistic entity and his true from are made of words that unbound by space-time and physics of normal universe, he used his CORDIS to creates his own avatar to manifests in normal universe. For unspecified reasons, his CORDIS gives him the ability to regenerate in a similar manner to the Time Lords.
Forty-Five: The Word Lord[]
He chased the Doctor through several times and places, but never be able to kill him. For some reason, Nobody regenerated into his second incarnation in 1945. While he recovered, he hid at an alien research facility called The Forge, disguising his ship as their catch phrase, "For King and Country". He finally encounter the Doctor in the Antarctic a hundred years later. With his CORDIS now hidden as a joke, he infiltrated a top secret bunker holding an important peace summit. It is unknown if this is the first time they meet, but the Doctor already has knowledge of Word Lords and their abilities. Luckily for the Doctor, the bunker had a security black-out, no phones, books or even writing material. The Doctor was able to shut off the translation circuits to his TARDIS, forcing Nobody to flee into the only book available, a protocol guide for the bunker. However, he escaped, when one of the soldiers carelessly shouted "Nobody move".
Undated Events[]
Nobody No-One then battled the Doctor across space, time, and universes (which he broke a few of them). At some point, someone (implied to be the Doctor), tripped the CORDIS over a lost letter in the English alphabet, resulting in a crash that forced Nobody to regenerate again.
He got defeated by the Doctor again and got trapped inside the Hand of All, which the Doctor places it within his own mind, and going into hibernation in a Gallifreyan sarcophagus buried beneath the Forge.
A Death in the Family[]
After the final destruction of the Forge in 2026, the Doctor who is younger than the one who trapped him, found the sarcophagus with his older self inside, and Nobody found his way to escape. Nobody then running amok, with the intention to kill the younger Doctor.
The younger Doctor use a trans-galactic tablet to seal Nobody No-One withhin the trans-galactic internet wih the cost of his own life. In their battle, Nobody No-One threatens a soldier to say "Nobody can stop the Doctor regenerating" and "No-One has the power of life and death over the Doctor", making the Doctor unable to regenerate and die for real.
But the older Doctor set forth an elaborate long term plan in which the Hand of All could be used by his companions, Ace and Hex. The older Doctor sent Ace to meet Henry Noone, who became Ace's boyfriend, and sent Hex to the planet Pelachan, which is the location of the Hand of All.
Ace asks her boyfriend, Henry Noone, to write a story about her in 10 years as his wife, about her as Professor Dorothy Noone, and use a space-time stamp to send the letter to Hex, which he tell it to the Hand of All, bringing "Dororthy Noone", a linguistic entity like Nobody No-One, into existence.
Since the word "No-One" and "Noone" spells the same (N-O-O-N-E), and with the word "No-One has the power of life and death over the Doctor" said by a soldier at the command of Nobody No-One, Dorothy gains the power to resurrects the Doctor, and she did so. Upon becoming free, Nobody No-One kills Dororthy, but not before she once again trapped him in the Hand of All.
The Doctor, after resurrected from the death, placed the Hand of All inside the mind of his dying friend, Evelyn Smythe. Evelyn, the Hand and Nobody died together, ending the madness of the Word Lord once and for all.
Personality[]
Nobody No-One is a madman who gained great pleasure from killing someone or causing people pain and discomfort. He was malicious and cruel, the polar opposite of the Doctor. He enjoyed taunting people. He had mannerisms and speech patterns which were rather similar to the Tenth Doctor's. He laughed hysterically, be it whenever he was blowing up something as mundane as a duck pond or being the first being to commit ultracide. He was noted to be wearing a ridiculously long scarf as a homage to the Fourth Doctor in one of his newer incarnations.
