Weaknesses: His past and his friends
Habits/Quirks:
The Doctor made frequent reference to twentieth century pop culture, including the Ghostbusters theme, the song "Circle of Life" from The Lion King, and one of Kylie Minogue's songs, "Never Too Late". He had also read the Harry Potter books, saying that he cried after reading the seventh book. He's fond of rock and roll, trying to take Rose to see concerts by both Elvis Presley and Ian Dury, and dresses in the manner of an indie Brit-pop musician. He wore trainers and faux reading glasses — both deliberate homages to his fifth incarnation. He often remarks that exotic technology or life is "beautiful" and is genuinely enthralled by such discoveries, sometimes to the extent that he places himself or his companions in danger. When this Doctor is faced with an occurrence that dumbfounds him he says, "What?" repeatedly increasing the confused expression on his face each time. While attempting to explain something he'll often interrupt himself with a "Well..." and further elaborate what it was he was talking about.
Until they left his life, he continued his previous incarnation's habit of mildly abusing both Mickey and Jackie, though generally in a more obviously playful fashion.
The Doctor is also fond of the phrase "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry". Another favoured phrase is "Allons-y!" He also often responds "I'm always all right" even when all evidence points to the contrary. He has also been known to often refer to things as brilliant. The Doctor has a stated fondness for "little shops", the gift stores usually found in hospitals and other public places.
This incarnation of the Doctor relies heavily upon his sonic screwdriver, pushing it to limits not seen in previous incarnations. Other tools he uses frequently include psychic paper and, incongruously since he is not a medical doctor, a stethoscope (although the Doctor's stethoscope appears to have additional abilities; for example he used it to assist his phone in receiving a signal from the relocated Earth.
Like previous incarnations, he appears to have the ability to carry a large and diverse number of objects in his pockets, that they're similar to the TARDIS (Bigger on the inside) including at one point a wind-up mouse. He also follows the trend of his immediate successors in displaying increasing skill for using the TARDIS, on several occasions even using it in the form of a standard spaceship rather than simply dematerializing it every time. He is told by a future companion that he will one day be able to command the TARDIS by a click of his fingers and initially believes this to be nonsense, but later finds out that he does possess such abilities (probably signifying an increasingly powerful telepathic connection between the TARDIS and himself).
He has taken to carrying a GSM cell phone with him and on it is revealed that this number can be used to contact him anywhere in space and time. Like his previous incarnation did with Rose Tyler's "superphone", this incarnation has also taken to "upgrading" the mobile phones of his later companions in order to facilitate communication with their families and with the Doctor: both Martha Jones and Donna Noble's phones were so modified and, like Rose's mother, their close relatives were aware that they could communicate through time and space as a result. The phone he carries is Martha Jones' superphone, given to him by her so she could contact him if need be.
He tends to pull on his ear when he thinks, and run his hands through his hair when he’s excited about something. He also wears glasses, which he doesn’t need, when he’s thinking about something.
Personality:
Like his predecessor, this Doctor was capable of boundless enthusiasm, though in his case often at inappropriate times. While many Doctors have intentionally flouted social conventions, the Tenth seems to be genuinely surprised when he is rude or uncouth. Charismatic and manic and with boundless energy, he retained and even exceeded his last incarnation's capacity for righteous anger, especially when Rose was threatened, as when the Wire stole her face.
When driven by anger or righteousness, he would act without hesitation to strike down those who opposed him; for example, he toppled the regime of Harriet Jones with just six well-chosen words after she committed what the Doctor considered mass murder.
The Doctor also showed his anger when he gave each member of the Family of Blood an eternal punishment, fulfilling their wish for immortality in a twisted way. While he had resolved much of the survivor's guilt felt previously, he is beginning to feel his age and, behind the outward playfulness, he feels a deep loneliness. His keen sense of loss leads him to empathise with those who have also suffered.
There was an undeniable shadow cast over the jollity of the Doctor. He had a ruthlessness, bordering on arrogance that was almost eerie to behold. Beneath his youthful veneer, the Doctor is a very old man who has seen many terrible things; and in some matters, his patience and capability for mercy has worn out or diminished. His usual jolly demeanor has somewhat disappeared since the departure of Rose. He was a little angrier, darker, and not as friendly towards Donna or Martha. This suggests that he never really got over Rose's departure.
After meeting Agatha Christie and witnessing the events that lead to her infamous disappearance and amnesia, the Doctor theorizes that what kept her writing all of the years that followed was a desire to remember the events she had forgotten and makes a notable comparison to that desire to his compulsion to travel. This subtle remark suggests that the reason the Doctor travels is because he is trying to recapture memories that he has lost or that were taken from him.
The tenth Doctor has a very hard time accepting defeat or failure, for example when he was unable to save Astrid he kicked a teleport, screaming "I can do anything!" Arguably this may be because he has seen so much destruction he feels driven to try to prevent it where possible, also River Song thought if he lost this trait the universe would become a darker place. He frequently gets into trouble because of his vast and loose sense of superiority and provides his name (his chosen name, not his birth name) as a threat, which only rarely works, despite his apparent expectations (perhaps because so few species know of his existence). The tenth Doctor frequently ignores reproach; when companions point out he's committing horrible acts, he ignores them or changes the subject. The tenth Doctor seems quite comfortable committing mass murder in some cases, although this tendency lessens over time.
He attributes this change to Rose Tyler, telling her she helped him get through the time in his life that was "full of blood and anger".
What was your character doing before they arrived on the island?
When the Doctor absorbed the Time Vortex from his companion, Rose Tyler, the forces contained in himself began to destroy every cell in his body. He regenerated for a ninth time to save his life. The Doctor immediately de-materialized the TARDIS from its location on Satellite 5, leaving the now-immortal Captain Jack Harkness (made so by the Bad Wolf) behind.
The Doctor piloted the ship back to Powell Estate in London on Christmas Eve 2006 and lapsed into a comatose state, but snapped out of it briefly and then for a longer time in order to beat back an invasion of planet Earth by the Sycorax on Christmas morning. During this adventure he had his hand cut off while in a sword fight with the Sycorax leader but, still retaining enough cellular energy from his regeneration, grew it back.
The Doctor and Rose embarked on adventures together through time and space. Their first broadcast adventure together was their trip to New Earth. They were summoned to the New New York hospital. There the Doctor toppled the regime that the Sisters of Plenitude had developed. The sisters were creating human clones with no sentience and infecting them with every disease in the world in order to find cures. During this time, they also encountered Cassandra. During this time, they also encountered Cassandra. Cassandra possessed Rose's body, but the Doctor eventually convinced Cassandra to "end it." The Doctor here also sees the Face of Boe. He summoned them via the psychic paper. The Face thought he was going to die, but the Doctor's actions with the new humans encouraged him to keep living.
Next, they took a trip to 1879 Scotland. There the Doctor and Rose stopped a werewolf from biting Queen Victoria and starting The Empire of the Wolf. As a reward, he was knighted as Sir Doctor of TARDIS and Rose was knighted as Dame Rose of the Powell Estate. They were then banished from the British Empire, since their blasé attitude to danger unnerved the Queen. The Doctor also inadvertently inspired Queen Victoria to found the Torchwood Institute.
Back on 21st century Earth, the Doctor went undercover as John Smith, a physics teacher at a school, which the Krillitanes had infiltrated. The Doctor had a chance reunion with his old friends Sarah Jane Smith and K-9. He also allowed Mickey Smith to accompany him at Sarah Jane's suggestion. Mickey had been invited aboard the TARDIS by the Ninth Doctor, but declined saying he would not be able to handle that life. At the time, Mickey did not want Rose to know it was his own choice not to go. The Doctor obliged and made it seem that it was he, the Doctor, who vetoed Rose's suggestion. Mickey asked to join, Sarah Jane encouraged it, and the Doctor ignored Rose's mimed request to say no.
The Doctor, Rose and Mickey next met a pre-teen girl Reinette (later known as Madame de Pompadour.) She would grow up to be a beautiful noblewoman living in 18th century Versailles. The Doctor saved her as a child from the Clockwork Droids. The droids and Reinette were connected by a fireplace in her bedroom and simultaneously on board the SS Madame De Pompadour. The Doctor saved her several times throughout her life and was strongly affected by her death.
On a parallel Earth, he Rose and Mickey witnessed the birth of that universe's Cybermen. This adventure ends with Mickey deciding to stay on this other world.
The Doctor and Rose then tried to see an Elvis concert, but accidentally ended up in England. It was June 2, 1953, just in time to witness the Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation. During the broadcast of the coronation though, the Doctor defeated the Wire. She was a being which stole victims' faces while they were watching television.
The Doctor and Rose then ended up on the planet Krop Tor which was orbiting a black hole. The Doctor and a researcher from the crew of Sanctuary Base 6 named Ida, went exploring underground. The mission to Krop Tor was to discover the source of power emanating from the planet's core, which was allowing the planet to be orbiting a black hole without falling in. There they discovered a pit, into which the Doctor descended. Once he'd reached the bottom, he found himself face to face with the Beast. The Beast had been terrorizing the explorers up above and possessing their servants, the Ood. The beast had also possesed a crew member named Toby Zed. The Doctor trapped the Beast by imprisoning it in the black hole and was reunited with Rose and the TARDIS.
Some time later, he and Rose defeated an Abzorbaloff. This was a creature from the planet Clom which is the sister planet of Raxicoricfalapatorius from whence the Slitheen family hails. The abzorbaloff had infiltrated LINDA (London Investigative 'N' Detective Angency) which was a social group who were trying to find the Doctor.
He and Rose then went to 2012 to see the London Olympics. He met a girl called Chloe Webber who had been possessed by a lone Isolus. Chloe was trapping people in drawings to stop the Isolus from feeling lonely. After briefly being trapped in a drawing himself, along with the TARDIS, the Doctor carried the Olympic torch to the stadium and then reunited with Rose. While watching the firework display, the doctor noted that "a storm is coming..."
When the Doctor and Rose returned to present-day London, they found that the entire planet was being visited by things believed to be ghosts. He tracked the signal to Torchwood Tower and was subsequently madet prisoner by the Torchwood Institute. The Institute had been founded at the end of Tooth and Claw. Their Charter states that the Doctor is their cheiftest enemy. He strongly opposed their use of "ghost shifts" for a power source, since their creation was ripping open a hole between parallel worlds. The Director of Torchwood One, Yvonne Hartman took the Doctor to examine The Shpere. this was the object that opered the hole, and it's location decided the location of the Tower. The Doctor pronounced it to be a "Void Ship" and said it should be sent back where it came from. Later, three computer technicians (who were secretly under the control of Cybermen) restarted the ghost shift. This lead to the realisation that the ghosts were actually Cybermen, coming through from the parallel world where he'd left Mickey. As the Cyberman invasion of Earth began, the Void Ship that he'd examined earlier opened, revealing Daleks led by the Cult of Skaro. When the Cybermen went to investigate the disturbance, the Doctor was visibly shocked to see the Daleks. He was also horrified to discover that the Daleks had possession of a Time Lord prisoner ship, to which they referred as the Genesis Ark.
Using the Time Lord technology of being bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, the Ark contained millions of Daleks. In order save both dimensions from annilation and exile the Daleks and Cybermen to the Void, the Doctor had to open the Void. This would suck anything covered in "Void stuff" into the it. Realizing that Rose and the others were also covered in Void stuff, the Doctor sent her to the parallel world, along with Mickey, Pete Tyler and her mother, where they all would be safe. But Rose returned, refusing to leave him. Together, they opened the Void and the Daleks and Cybermen got sucked into the Void. The plan initially went smoothly, until Rose's lever malfunctioned, threatening to abort the process. She managed to fix it but couldn't hold on and was nearly sucked into the Void, much to the Doctor's terror and despair. Rose was saved by her parallel father and taken back across to the parallel universe, forever separating her from the Doctor. They were able to meet one last time, Rose standing on Bad Wolf Bay in Norway; the Doctor orbiting a supernova to get enough power to project an image with sound but no touch, through the last little gap between the universes. This give them a couple of minutes to talk. Rose told him she was working for this Earth's Torchwood and that her mother was three months pregnant. The Doctor told her that she'd been declared dead back in his world since she had gone missing after The Battle of Canary Wharf. Rose then broke down in tears and told him she loved him. He began to reply, getting as far as "And, I suppose... if it's my last chance to say it... Rose Tyler..." before fading away. Rose ran into her mother's arms and the Doctor was left alone in the TARDIS, a single tear streaming down his cheek.
While he was grieving over Rose, a bride named Donna Noble, to his shock, appeared inside the TARDIS during her wedding ceremony. The Doctor discovered the involvement of the ancient Racnoss. After their destruction by the Doctor, and largely because of the Doctor's ruthless treatment of them, Donna decided not to travel with him.
The Doctor met Martha Jones, a London medical student, and, after defeating a Plasmavore on the Moon, invited her along to travel with him in the TARDIS. On New Earth, which he had previously visited with Rose, he heard the final words of the Face of Boe to him: You are not alone. n 1930 New York City, the Doctor once more met and defeated the Cult of Skaro. Dalek Caan survived.
The Doctor hid from the Family of Blood by using a Chameleon Arch to transform himself mentally and physically into a Human schoolteacher called John Smith. He fell in love with a woman, Joan Redfern and would have spent the rest of his life with her. The Doctor was forced to retake his Time Lord body, and sought suitable punishment for the Family of Blood.
In Cardiff, where the Doctor had gone to "re-fuel" the TARDIS using the Cardiff rift, Captain Jack Harkness jumped onto and physically clung to the exterior of the TARDIS, hitching a ride to the planet Malcassairo in the far distant future. On Malcassairo, the Doctor found Professor Yana, actually his old nemesis; The Master, turned Human by another chameleon arch. The Master escaped using the Doctor's own TARDIS.
Using the human name Harold Saxon, the Master made himself Prime Minister of Great Britain and invited in an army to take over the world. The Master imprisoned the Doctor for a year, during the end of which time, he used his laser screwdriver to artificially age the Doctor 900 years, turning him into a small creature. The Master was later defeated by manipulation of the Master's Archangel Network to the Doctor's own advantage. The Doctor displayed great powers during this period, using the psychic energy to restore himself and manipulating it to grant him almost god-like powers. After disarming the Master with the telekinesis he acquired from the energy, it seemed to either dissipate or the Doctor released it. The Doctor then approached the Master and said the words the Master has been afraid to hear him speak: "I forgive you." The Master was shot soon afterwards by his human companion Lucy. Shortly after the Doctor made the decision to rehabilitate him as a prisoner aboard the TARDIS. The Master refused to regenerate and dies one last time in the Doctor's arms, thus leaving the Doctor to be truly the last Time Lord in existence, which left him grief-stricken, since he was narrowed down to be the entire Time Lord species. Interestingly, as the scene at the masters funeral pyre fades, a ring drops from the fire and is picked up by a female hand. Her laughter can be heard above the music. Shortly there after, Martha left him, thinking that she should go off and live her own life, though they parted amicably.
Shortly afterwards, he made a new friend, Astrid Peth, on board an alien spacecraft, the Titanic (modeled after the Earth original) but, just managing to save her before her death, could only save her by transforming her into a being of light.
While investigating Adipose Industries, the Doctor was reunited with Donna Noble, who finally accepted his invitation to travel with him. She was quick to rule out the possibility of a romantic involvement, making their companionship a different experience than the Doctor had experienced with Rose and Martha.
During their travels, the Doctor realized he was responsible for the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii, in order to avert world domination by the Pyroviles. He also helped set free the enslaved Ood of the Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire, and disrupted a Sontaran stratagem on Earth, during which time he was reunited with Martha Jones.
One of the most important events in the Doctor's life came when the TARDIS transported he, Donna and Martha to Messaline, where his DNA was replicated to produce Jenny his daughter. Initially critical of the girl, the Doctor came to love his daughter, and mourned her death at the hands of General Cobb. He overcame his desire for revenge, however, in order to help found a new society on the planet. Another important woman in the Doctor's life was introduced to him in The Library: Professor River Song, who claimed to know the Doctor from a point in his future. She was the only person to know his name, as she revealed prior to sacrificing herself to save the Data Ghosts trapped in the Library's core. The Doctor, inspired by Song's faith in him, was able to save River, preserving her in the core's virtual reality. Shortly afterwards he and Donna visited the leisure planet Midnight. Donna stayed at the leisure palace as the Doctor takes a four-hour shuttle bus ride to the Sapphire Waterfall. The bus was then attacked by an unknown creature which possesses another passenger, Sky Silvestry and eventually the Doctor. His voice is stolen but he gets it back. Next, the Doctor and Donna visit the Chinese-influenced planet of Shan Shen. Donna goes to get her fortune told but actually creates an alternate universe where she never met the Doctor. In this alternate universe she meets Rose who tells her two words to tell the Doctor. After Donna corrects the universe and is back in the fortune teller's tent her memory of the alternate universe begins to fade. The Doctor says that one of the Trickster's Brigade caused Donna to change the universe. Donna then tells the Doctor the two words: Bad Wolf. Donna asks what it means and the Doctor replies with The end of the Universe.
After finding out that Rose was in Donna's parallel universe in Turn Left he rushed back to Earth to check that everything was OK and if she was there. When he went back into the TARDIS with Donna, the whole Earth began to shake and when he opened the doors they were orbiting in space. Finding no clue as to where the Earth was he went to the Shadow Proclamation and figured that 27 planets were stolen and nearby to where the Earth was. With a bit of help from Harriet Jones, Captain Jack Harkness, Sarah Jane Smith, Luke Smith, Martha Jones, Mr Smith and Rose Tyler as well as Donna's mother and grandfather he was able to be contacted and managed to lock on to the location of the Earth. After a quick chat with his friends and Davros he landed on Earth. While talking to Donna, Donna pointed out that Rose was behind him. He turned around and the two began to run towards each other. Then a Dalek emerged from the shadows and fired at him. It was only a glancing blow but was enough to mortally wound him. He had to be taken back into the TARDIS where he (apparently) began to regenerate.
Using his nearby severed hand, he used the regeneration to heal himself, but not to regenerate into a new form. He and his companions ended up having to face off with the Daleks and thanks to the new Doctor, born from his severed hand and the power left by the regeneration, and Donna who was accidentally made part-Time Lord, the Daleks were defeated. However, he was horrified by the actions of the new Doctor, who wiped out the last remaining members of the Dalek race. He knew that the new Doctor was what he had once been like and decided to leave him on the parallel earth known as Pete's World to be with Rose. As a pure Time Lord and ever the self sacrificing hero, he was unable to say what he felt and would have said to Rose during the events of Doomsday. Though it broke his heart to do so, he knew that the new part human version of himself could give Rose what he could not, and that Rose was the only one who could make him better. The original Doctor then left Bad Wolf Bay, knowing that while painful for him, he in essence was finally able to get his girl.
Sadly, the tragedy continued as he was also forced to remove all memory of himself and anything he and Donna had done together as her Time Lord side started to overwhelm her human side. Upon bringing Donna home, he told her grandfather and mother that she must never be told what she had done and who she had been, as this would cause her death. The losses that day took a toll on the Doctor and once he left his best friend's house who could never know him again, he returned to traveling alone. The first three seasons had ended with him being distracted by an unexpected new event, but this time nothing arrives to stop him from simply feeling sad.
Now he's woken up, NOT in his TARDIS but on an island. His first word when he woke up: "What?"
Writing Example:
He sighed heavily as the door to the Smith family home shut, leaving him outside. Martha was gone now, and he was all alone again. He shook his head and rubbed at his hands before heading back into the TARDIS. He ran a hand along the control console before returning to the main controls. He wondered where he’d go next, maybe to the 50s. He had meant to go back and see an Elvis concert for so long now. Maybe he’d finally be able to do it.
“No mess ups this time old girl.” He gently placed a hand on the console, then gave a bright smile and hurried around the console firing up the TARDIS and making sure everything was going smoothly. He’d be very grateful if the TARDIS got him to the place, he was planning on going, instead of into more trouble. He’d had about enough trouble to last him a nice regeneration or two.
The Doctor froze as that thought brought up his most recent memories. He tried to think of something else, anything else, but it just wasn’t working. Not even the thoughts of Rose’s mother Jackie slapping him what seemed like forever ago snapped him out of it.
He shook his head hard as the memories of the Master forced them selves to be resurfaced in his mind. Though later, he wasn’t sure if it was his doing or the TARDIS’s wanting him to get over it, to many of his human companions ideals had become apart of the TARDIS.
The memory that was surfaced first was the worst. Watching as the only other Time Lord in the Universe died in his arms, the sheer feelings of loneliness, bitterness, and anger washing over him as the man told him that he wouldn’t regenerate to be kept prisoner by him. Then those memories brought up the moments of loss he had felt in the more recent past. Rose vanishing with Pete into the void and beyond, NO!
He shook his head hard and clutched at it, the image of Rose vanishing to be replaced with Martha. Martha standing in the street in front of her home telling him she couldn’t continue traveling with him, she had a life she had to get back to. His breathing was coming faster now, tears he refused to shed fighting their way to his eyes, and his hearts were beating so fat it was starting to hurt.
And then he saw Jack; he thought maybe Jack would continue with him. He had after all latched himself onto a disappearing TARDIS just to see him again, but those hopes were dashed. Jack had a team to look after. So the famous Captain Jack Harkness had turned him down, the Doctor blinked at that and gave a loud bitter laugh a few tears tracing down his cheeks; yes he was sinking and sinking fast. Just like the Titanic.
The TARDIS vanished from the small London street with the Doctor lonely, exhausted, and depressed inside. The Doctor messed with a few more of the controls absent-mindedly while wiping away his tears angrily. He would not dwell on this. He was going to see Elvis! He was going to have the time of his life, and then, well he wasn’t sure, but he’d make it great!
His plans however were thrown off track when the whole TARDIS lurched forward and knocked him first into the console then into the chairs behind him. He blinked surprised eyes up at the ceiling before sitting up and cursing. It would be just his luck to have something else go wrong.
“What!?!?” The Doctor shouted towards the control console as he pulled himself up from the ground. He glared at the controls before hanging his head. This was just NOT his decade.
