Canon
Name: Rory Williams
Age: 20-30
Species: Human
Planet Of Origin: Earth
Occupation: Companion of the doctor, later, husband of Amy Pond
Physical Description: Normal height, brownish blonde hair, normally wearing a vest over his jacket.
Personality: Rory appears somewhat timid in his first encounter with the Doctor. He is easily intimidated by Dr Ramsden and is unsettled by the ensuing events caused by the Doctor and Prisoner Zero. Despite this, he does have the presence of mind to record evidence in order to prove that his patients are appearing outside the hospital. He also assists Amy in attempting to clear the hospital of patients before Prisoner Zero can exploit them . During the events in Venice, Rory was unnerved that the Doctor actually wanted to get back into the Saturnynian stronghold. However, he was capable of bravery, as shown when he challenged Francesco in order to protect Amy, and later when he took a lethal Silurian energy beam meant for the Doctor. It is also notable that when he saw Francesco had attacked a girl, his immediate reaction was to check the girl was alright. He is greatly devoted to Amy; Perhaps the greatest testament to this personality trait was when his Auton self was willing to guard the Pandorica (with her in it) for almost two thousand years, even knowing that he would remain conscious the entire time.
History:
Early life
Rory was a childhood friend of Amelia Pond. He was privy to her tales of the "raggedy Doctor", and an unwilling participant in the dress-up games she based around her stories.
Meeting the Doctor
Later in life, Rory became a nurse at Royal Leadworth Hospital, and entered into a romantic relationship with Amelia (now calling herself "Amy"). In his position as a nurse, Rory encountered strange goings-on at the Hospital's coma ward, hearing the patients chanting "Doctor", and witnessing what looked like some of them walking out in town. Rory later encountered the Doctor himself, and was quite surprised to find out he was real, and not a figment of Amy's imagination. Rory witnessed the Doctor defeat Prisoner Zero and warn the Atraxi away from Earth.Following the incident, Rory began to read up on scientific theories, such that he could deduce the reason why the TARDIS was "bigger on the inside" (much to the Doctor's annoyance). He later got engaged to Amy.
Joining the Doctor
After having his stag party crashed by the Doctor, Rory and Amy were taken on a "romantic break" to Venice. While on their break they encountered the Saturnynians, a race of alien fish who had taken human form in order to repopulate their species after having escaped through the Time Field to escape the 'silence'. While at first he was hesitant and outright scornful of how the Doctor lived, he soon came to change his views, something remarked upon irritatedly by the Doctor at first. While they were in Venice, Rory agreed to continue travelling with the Doctor after Amy asked him to do so. The Doctor whole heartedly agreed and the three entered the TARDIS.
Travels
After spending some time aboard the Doctor's TARDIS traveling with the Doctor and Amy, Rory fell victim to the same Psychic Pollen that ensnared his companions in two shared dreams, one in which the powerless TARDIS was on a collision course with a bizarre cold sun and one in which the Doctor was visiting Rory and Amy, married and settled in Upper Leadworth while expecting their first child. In both, he was the subject of some verbal abuse by the Dream Lord, a manifestation of the Doctor's darker nature, who referred to him as a "bumbling country doctor" and mocked him as a lesser rival to the Doctor for Amy's devotion. The Dream Lord demanded that Rory, the Doctor, and Amy—particularly the latter—choose which scenario was real, suggesting they should allow themselves to succumb to the "deadly danger" in the scenario they believed to be a dream. While Rory favored the Leadworth dream, expressing satisfaction with his job as a doctor and his marriage to a pregnant Amy, the Doctor believed the TARDIS dream to be reality and Amy was unsure. Although Rory's sense of unreality mounted after a number of elderly men and women in his care, secretly Ecnodeen inhabiting human bodies, murdered a class of schoolchildren and began pursuing the Doctor and his former companions through the town of Leadworth, he remained convinced that the cold star in the TARDIS dream could not exist—as well as unnerved by the prospect of abandoning five years of his life he believed he had spent in Leadworth with Amy, becoming a doctor and preparing for fatherhood. Rory and Amy were pursued to the upper floor of their house in the Leadworth dream by the marauding Ecnodeen. Amy's consciousness lingered in the TARDIS dream due to the Dream Lord's machinations, forcing Rory to haul her bodily up the stairs. After she awoke, Rory took a pair of scissors and snipped off a ponytail he had grown in the Leadworth dream, much to his dream wife's dismay. Shortly after the Doctor arrived through a window, claiming he was now unsure about the TARDIS dream being reality, an Ecnodeen in the body of Mrs Poggit followed suit. When Rory advanced on "Mrs Poggit", the Ecnodeen breathed a deadly vapour onto him that caused his body to disintegrate. His last words to Amy in the Leadworth dream were, "Look after our baby."
Fortunately for all three of the time-travelers, Amy did not heed Rory's advice. Now convinced the Leadworth dream was either a hallucination or a reality she did not want to live in, she "killed" herself and the Doctor by smashing their van into the front of the home she shared with Rory. All three awoke in the freezing TARDIS, where the Dream Lord apparently conceded defeat and restored power to the time machine before vanishing. The Doctor was not taken in by his darker shade's show of magnanimity, though, and decided to blow up the TARDIS after concluding that both scenarios were dreams.
Back in reality, inside the TARDIS, Rory asked how the Leadworth dream ended, having apparently lost his memory of dream's final moments. Amy told him how she ended it and admitted she drove the van into the house not knowing for sure whether it was in fact a dream. Overwhelmed by the implication that Amy realized she couldn't live without him, Rory kissed her passionately. When the Doctor asked where he wanted to travel next, Rory demurred, saying it was "Amy's choice".
Rory was disappointed when the TARDIS took the time-travelers to Cwmtaff, Wales, in the year 2020 instead of Rio de Janeiro. When it became clear the Doctor intended to have an adventure in the tiny mining town, Rory collected Amy's engagement ring, fretting she might lose it. He placed it in a red ring box and put it on the TARDIS console. By the time he emerged from the time machine, Amy and the Doctor had left, and he was summarily accosted by Ambrose Northover and her son Elliot, who believed him to be a plainclothes detective sent to investigate the disappearance of bodies from the Cwmtaff graveyard. Rory was unnerved by the disappearances, which appeared to occur despite the ground above the graves being undisturbed. When Rory rejoined the Doctor, the Time Lord was preoccupied with the appearance of an energy barrier around the village and the impending arrival of a group of unknown attackers from below the ground. Rory was incensed to find Amy missing, and shouted in frustration at the Doctor when he admitted he had been unable to save her from being pulled underground. Rory eventually calmed down and cooperated with the Doctor to trap a Silurian warrior named Alaya, the apparent leader of the group that kidnapped Amy, in a Meals on Wheels van. When the Doctor left Alaya in the custody of Rory, Ambrose, and Ambrose's father Tony Mack, he warned them nobody could die in this encounter without sparking a bloody war between the Silurian civilization and humankind. Alaya goaded her captors, though, announcing she knew which of the three humans would kill her and ignite the war. Rory was unnerved but defiant, and he led the other two out of the basement in which the Silurian was held.
Death
Rory eventually made it down into the Silurians' lair, where all the other victims had been taken. Up in the church, Ambrose killed the captured Silurian Alaya in anger, as it had poisoned her father with her venom. He went down with Ambrose and Tony. Upon seeing this, Alaya's sister Restac got angry and began a tirade, attacking all humans that got in her way. Rory, Amy and the Doctor made it to the TARDIS after the Silurian scientists filled the caves with poison gas to make the Silurians hibernate. They noticed a crack in the wall, the same as the one on Amy's bedroom wall. Then Restac crawled through into the room and shot at the Doctor. Rory pushed him out of the way of the beam and was hit fatally instead of him. The mysterious Time Field crack then absorbed and erased him, removing his entire life from existence and making Amy forget about him, having been a major part of her personal timeline.
After his death and erasure, the Doctor felt guilty and took Amy to several places she wished. When with Vincent van Gogh and Amy, the Doctor calls them Rory and Amy, to which Amy asks "Who?". However, while she consciously held no memory of Rory, van Gogh sensed that she was grieving over a loss. While in the TARDIS, Amy found Rory's ring in the Doctor's jacket pocket.
The Nestenes created an Auton duplicate of Rory to trap the Doctor. He believed that he was the real Rory, and managed to remind Amy Pond of him. Once the trap was complete the Nestenes tried to control him, but he fought back. However, he could not stop himself from shooting Amy. A version of the Doctor from the future came to the Auton Rory, instructing him to place Amy's body in the Pandorica, which had the ability to keep it's occupants alive. Rory watched over Amy for over a thousand years, following the box wherever it went, and eventually ending as a security guard at the National Museum, where the Pandorica had been taken. The Doctor's machinations caused Amy's younger self to release her in 1996, fully recovered. When a Stone Dalek, revitalised by the Pandorica's restorative energies, attacked, Rory revealed himself, blasting it with his hand laser. He then reconciled with Amy, and joined the Doctor and River Song in attempting to avert the destruction of creation. The Doctor succeeded by throwing the Pandorica into the heart of the explosion that caused the cracks undoing it and sealing the cracks. This meant that the real Rory was never erased, and the Alliance was never formed, thus the duplicate Rory never existed.
After the resetting of the universe, the real Rory married Amy and the two briefly forgot the Doctor. They remembered him after he arrives in the TARDIS during their wedding reception, brought back by Amy's memories. Rory also seemed to have some recollection of his being plastic. Rory and Amy then followed the Doctor to the TARDIS, and decided to once again join him on his travels.
