Theo Possible was a time travelling adventurer and DJ.

History

Pyke Xi-Raul, a Homeworlder who was born in the drylands and was not a member of "his planet’s aristocracy", once reflected that "with the exception of a few artists and revolutionaries like Theo Possible his kind never got the chance to break out from where they 'belonged'", implying he believed Theo to be one of his own kind. (PROSE: Wringing Off)

Theo trained with the Venusians to become an Ascended Master of Klatch-Ki. (PROSE: Party Kill Accelerator!)

While having adventures in time and space, Theo had numerous encounters with Obsèque Bleak before killing him. Theo travelled with Steve for some time, but their travels together ended when Steve was disintegrated by an Asymmetry Fiend.

Theo eventually semi-retired from the adventuring life. (PROSE: Happily Ever After Is a High-Risk Strategy)

Theo hosted a party in the Zona Obscura for all the ideas which had become "lost in the ether". Theo was the festival's DJ; as a "sort of cultural exchange", Kelsey travelled with him, helping with the transportation of his records. For a while, Theo gave the ideas an eternal celebration, but it all came to a stop when Jimmy the Mandrill invited the "Katy Manning" Iris and Panda and their presence instigated a narrative. Theo had to work with Iris to try to stop Jimmy from consuming all the guests at the party. Kelsey finally killed Jimmy, but some of the DJ equipment was damaged in the process, meaning the party could not continue. Theo left the Zona Obscura in a London Underground train after giving Kelsey his record box. (PROSE: Party Kill Accelerator!)

As Theo was not human, he was not resurrected in the City of the Saved. Nonetheless, he visited there by travelling through the Uptime Gate. For instance, Theo DJed at the after-party for the coronation of Salvinder Heat-Death in the City.

On another occasion, Theo was invited to the City of the Saved by his old companion Steve to attend his engagement party in the Achaean District. Steve had invited Theo because the woman to whom he was engaged was Helénē of Troy and they needed help getting away from all the Greeks and Trojans that also wanted Helénē. Theo helped the couple escape in a U-boat whilst he was left with a pedalo as his escape vehicle. He pedalled for his life and managed to escape to a major road in the nick of time.

Theo hitchhiked in Cranzfraction and rested for the first portion of the journey back to the Uptime Gate. Theo woke up while Cranzfraction was telling his life story to Terrence Moody and recognised the name "Litany Chromehurst", but could not place it. Theo then told Cranzfraction and Terrence the story of his recent adventure with Steve and Helénē. After arriving at the Uptime Gate, Theo treated Terrence to a meal at Lucrezia's Diner. Theo introduced Helénē to Terrence, (PROSE: Happily Ever After Is a High-Risk Strategy) instigating a relationship which would result in the two marrying. (PROSE: Apocalypse Day)

Appearance

Theo was a black man of indeterminable age who dressed entirely in white. He had braided silvery hair and a goatee. Theo's white suits were made by S. Stratton. (PROSE: Party Kill Accelerator!)

Behind the scenes

• Theo's name is a play on the phrase "theoretically possible".
• Theo Possible appeared in the Señor 105 novella By the Time I Get to Venus, which also features Señor 105, El Jefe, Litany Chromehurst and the Venusians from the First Doctor novel Venusian Lullaby. This story was later incorporated into The Rise and Fall of Señor 105.

• Blair Bidmead, the creator of Theo Possible, wrote a Christmas-themed short story called Grumpy Auld Men where Possible met the Twelfth Doctor. He also wrote a short story Significant Others for the Obverse Books charity anthology A Target for Tommy, which shows Rose Tyler travelling with Possible after the events of Journey's End.
• According to Ryan Fogarty, who obtained the license to mention Possible in his novella Wringing Off, Bidmead "hemmed and hawed" when questioned about Possible's species. Fogarty's own belief, drawn from Possible's attitude to El Jefe in The Rise and Fall of Señor 105, was that Possible was indeed "a Shabogan who ended up adventuring off-planet" without ever coming "anywhere near a Time Lord Academy". However, he intended the implication to that effect in Wringing Off to remain ambiguous: Pyke only knows of Possible because Possible deejayed a couple of concerts on the Sixth Homeworld and on the Space Wrestling circuit", meaning Pyke's assumption that Possible is also a Homeworlder may have been an error.
