Doc is an inventor, and the only regular human character in Fraggle Rock. He lives with his dog, and best friend, Sprocket. Doc spends a lot of his time in his workshop, a refurbished old room which is directly connected to the caves of Fraggle Rock via a hole in the wall.
As a human, Doc is considered one of the "silly creatures" by the Fraggles. He often lives up to this designation with his silly schemes and inventions, but he is always enthusiastic about his work, and is a good friend to Sprocket. Doc's accomplishments include such varied inventions as the Rocket Sprocket and the Collapsible Bookcase, and being named Man of the Year by the North American Society of Tinkerers. Prior to adopting inventing and the pursuit of scientific advancement as his life's work, Doc was employed as a barber. He has an off-and-on friendship/rivalry with next door neighbor Ned Shimmelfinny.
When Uncle Traveling Matt sends postcards to Gobo, they are delivered to Doc, who promptly throws them away. This makes it necessary for Gobo to venture into Doc's workshop to retrieve the postcards. Doc is continually puzzled by the missives for this "Gobo Fraggle fella."
In the second season, the arrival of a new neighbor, Ms. Ardath, provides a romantic interest for Doc and a new sideline, as part-time manager of the Captain's Inn, a bed-and-breakfast. In the final episode, it is revealed that his real name is Jerome Crystal. According to Craig Shemin at MuppetFest, this would make him "Doc Crystal."
In the final episodes, Doc finally learns of the existence of Gobo and befriends him. However, in the final episode, "A Change of Address," Doc and Sprocket have to move out to help a friend in the desert a considerable distance away. Although he offers to take Gobo along, the Fraggle initially declines although he reconsiders, albeit not before Doc and Spocket already departed with a farewell message on a tape recorder.
At the new home, Doc and Sprocket try to accept that they will never see the Fraggle again. However, Gobo and his friends discover a magic tunnel that allows them to easily reach their new friends and Doc is delighted to see his friendship with the creatures has just begun.
Doc also appeared in A Muppet Family Christmas, accompanied by Sprocket, having rented Ma Bear's cottage for Christmas. Though initially taken aback by the sudden arrival of the Muppets, Doc adjusts and befriends the motley group, even going so far as to assist in rescuing Miss Piggy and playing Santa Claus for the troupe.

James (2226-2277) is a resident of the ruins of Washington, DC in the Capital Wasteland. He is a widower and father of the child later known to the Capital Wasteland's residents as the Lone Wanderer. James is the project leader and chief scientist of Project Purity and also the vault physician of Vault 101.
Contents |
James was the chief scientist and project leader of Project Purity, an ambitious private project intended to cleanse all of the radioactivity from the water of the Potomac River that fed the entire Capital Wasteland. However, when his wife, Catherine, died giving birth to the Lone Wanderer he gave up on the project over the grief of losing his wife. He then later asked for entry for himself and his child into Vault 101 in return for becoming the Vault's new physician, and the Vault Overseer granted his request.
James' facial features and race will vary based on the ones you choose for your character.
James is the player character's father in the game and gives most of the quests in Vault 101, except Escape!. After Amata wakes you up after you turn 19 during said quest, you learn then that James left the Vault. This is the main driving force of the beginning of the game, as the Lone Wanderer must leave the Vault due to the newfound hostility of the residents, and upon his departure his main (and at that time, only) priority is to find his father. As the Lone Wanderer endeavors to find him, this is how the main story starts to reveal itself.
The player ultimately finds him in Vault 112, held prisoner in a virtual realm created (and controlled) by Dr. Braun. The Lone Wanderer then frees him during the quest Tranquility Lane, and after a short reunion escorts him back to Rivet City (or lets him leave by himself). Upon the arrival to Rivet City, James then pulls together a research team headed by Dr. Madison Li and escorts the team, with the aid of his son/daughter, to the Jefferson Memorial, the site of Project Purity. He will then request his son to clear the Memorial of any hostiles before they enter.
As the team get the Purifier up and running, James sends The Lone Wanderer on many tasks to help restart the Purifier. On completion of his last task, the Lone Wanderer watches in horror as Enclave storm the Memorial. Upon Re-arrival into the control room, he then watches as his father argues with the Enclave leader, Colonel Augustus Autumn. In the end, acting as if he was complying with the Colonel's wishes, he then overloads the Purifier, releasing radiation into the room and apparently killing the Colonel as he administers some kind of experimental Rad-X(Probably due to the Enclaves research). James, however, has no such protection. The last time the Lone Wanderer sees him is when James presses himself against the blast door of the activation room, and telling his son/daughter to "Run!" as he slumps to the floor, thus sacrificing himself so his child could live.
In Broken Steel, his dream is finally realized, as the Purifier finally gets activated, providing fresh, clean water for all.
