Name- The Doctor / Doctor Deus.
Type- God (although refers to himself as being 'Time Lord').
Age- 900 years old (give or take the creation of the Universe).
Gender- Male.
Parents/Family- Twisted and Misshapen.
Powers- Due to his many travels, reaching unimaginable plains of existence, the Doctor is undoubtedly going to encounter those that speak a language unlike any he has come across before. With his many travels he has been able to pick up easily on the odd language, both speech and the ability to read and write in their unique way. Although there of course comes a point, every so often, where the Doctor is unable to communicate with others, a new species entirely perhaps. Which is where his trusty TARDIS steps in. The TARDIS grants its passengers the ability to understand and speak other languages. The Doctor himself is an integral element of this capability. It is said that the TARDIS normally even translates writing. The telepathic field includes a filter that replaces foul or undesirable language with more acceptable terms. The TARDIS also acts as his means of transportation to and from Olympus. Although given it's malfunctioning tendencies it is not surprising that most find the Doctor is often seen with his head stuck in a panel carrying out maintenance of some kind or another, and he occasionally has to give it "percussive maintenance" (a good thump on the console) to get it to start working properly. In the inevitable event that the Doctor is subject to a mortal wounding he is partial to dabbling in the essence of shape-changing. Every time he is about to be rid from the world he is forced to shape-change, to take on a new incarnation. With each new body usually comes along an entirely new Doctor.
Weaknesses- Although it is difficult to mortally wound the Doctor, in comparison to a human for instance, he does not match this same resistance that other Gods and Goddesses bear. His resistance is a lot lower which can often lead to unnecessary Shape-changes, which he cannot afford to loosely waste. Another, primary, weakness of the Doctor would be his compassion. The compassion he holds for his companion and all those he has sworn to protect. It is the easiest means of influencing him, although he will not allow a second warning to be struck before he deals with those that threaten others, those he has sworn to protect with his lives.
Physical Description- The Doctor sports either a blue or a brown pinstripe suit - usually worn with ties - a tan ankle-length coat and trainers, the latter recalling the plimsolls worn by his fifth incarnation. Also like that incarnation (and his first one), he occasionally wears spectacles: a pair with brown, thick-rimmed frames. It has been revealed that he doesn't actually need the glasses to see, but rather wears them to look clever. In the past, the Doctor has referred to his attire as geek chic. The Doctor says that, like the TARDIS, his pockets are bigger on the inside. The Doctor comes across through his appearance as a clean-cut, slightly flippant and extremely brilliant although his open nature makes him more approachable compared to other Gods and Goddesses who choose to see themselves above everyone. His eyes are very dark brown and thought to be bordering on the endless black often taken on by the darker Gods. His hair is a dark shade of brown, however in winter his hair because a much darker brown almost matching the same shade as his eyes. His eyes warm yet transfix the souls of any he chooses. He has a pale complexion that does not tan brilliantly and the reasons for this are currently unknown.
Although Time Lords resemble humans, their physiology differs in some key respects. For example, like other members of his race, the Doctor has two hearts (binary vascular system), a "respiratory bypass system" that allows him to go without air for some while, an internal body temperature of 15–16 degrees Celsius (60 degrees Fahrenheit) and he occasionally exhibits a super-human level of stamina. Additionally, he has shown a resistance to temporal effects and has demonstrated a telepathic ability, albeit to a limited degree. The Doctor also exhibits some weaknesses uncommon to humans. For example, he claimed that a tablet of aspirin could kill him.
Mental Description- The Doctor's most notable aspect is his unpredictable, affable, clownish exterior concealing a well of great age, wisdom, seriousness and even darkness. While the Doctor can appear childlike and jocular, when the stakes rise, he will often become cold, driven and even callous. Another aspect of the Doctor's persona is compassion. The Doctor is a fervent pacifist and is dedicated to the preservation of sentient life, human or otherwise, over violence and war, even going so far as to doubt the morality of destroying his worst enemies. He also allows the Master to go free, rather than see him face torment or death, and forgives the Master for his actions, vowing to take responsibility for his former friend. Nonetheless, the Doctor will kill when given no other option and occasionally in self-defence. On other occasions he is seen to be critical of others who use deadly force. The Doctor has a deep sense of right and wrong, and a conviction that it is right to intervene when injustice occurs, which sets him apart from his own people, the Time Lords, and their strict ethic of non-intervention.
The Doctor is flippant, energetic, talkative and is gregarious and friendly with new people, yet with a self-assuredness that sometimes verges on hubris. His loneliness as an immortal and the apparent last member of his race has also become one of his defining characteristics and he repeatedly acknowledges it more than his previous incarnation ever did, occasionally leading to flashes of sombreness. The Doctor is an adventurer and scientist with a strong moral sense. He usually solves problems with his wits rather than with force, and is more likely to wield a sonic screwdriver than a gun; although he has been seen to use weapons as a last resort. He is still quick to anger and on several occasions shows a hard quality, offering no second chances or warnings to foes. His exuberance sometimes overcomes his sensitivity - for example, his flippancy in the face of a werewolf so horrifies Queen Victoria that, shortly after knighting him, she exiles him from the British Empire. His chosen role when responding to threats is more akin to policing. Despite his personality changes, however, the Doctor remains at his core a heroic figure, fighting the evils of the universe as he encounters them, even if his values and motives are sometimes alien.
History- The Doctor is a Time Lord, an extraterrestrial scientist from the planet Gallifrey, who wanders time and space in an internally vast time machine called the TARDIS — Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space - an acronym the Doctor's granddaughter, Susan, claims to have invented. Although the TARDIS once had the ability to disguise itself according to its environment, after landing in 1963 London its facade became stuck in the form of a British police box because of a malfunctioning chameleon circuit. It has remained in that shape ever since. The Doctor occasionally attempts to fix the circuit but eventually gives up the effort out of fondness for the police box shape. The discrepancy between the small exterior of the ship and its vast interior is explained by its dimensionally transcendental nature, whereby the ship's interior and exterior dimensions exist independently of each other.
Little is known about the Doctor's childhood. The Doctor claimed he knows what it is like to be the only child left out in the cold. Later, Madame de Pompadour saw memories of his childhood during a telepathic session between the two and commented that it was so lonely. However, when asked if he has a brother, the Doctor simply replied "not any more". The Doctor says he grew up in a house on the side of a mountain, and talks about a hermit who lived under a tree behind the house and inspired the Doctor when he was depressed. The Doctor describes a Time Lord Academy initiation ceremony where, at the age of eight, Time Lord Children are made to look into the Untempered Schism, a gap in space and time where they can view the time vortex. Some are inspired, some go mad (as he suggests happened to his nemesis the Master), and some run away. When asked what he did, he replies, "Oh, one of the ones that ran away - I've never stopped!"
References to the Doctor's family are rare. For a time he travelled with his granddaughter, Susan Foreman, and as noted above he apparently once had a brother. During his second incarnation when asked about his family, the Doctor says his memories of them are still alive but whether that means they are deceased is unknown. When asked if he has any family, the Doctor replies that he doesn't know, indirectly hinting that an unspecified fate may have befallen them. The Doctor mentions to Rose that he was once a father, but then quickly changes the subject.
Mostly due to the age and unreliability of the TARDIS's navigation system, the Doctor explores the universe at random; using his extensive knowledge of science and technology to avert whatever crises he encounters. The Doctor generally travels with one or more companions. Most of these make a conscious decision to travel with him, while others are accidental passengers.
The Doctor states that Time Lords can live forever, "barring accidents." When accidents do occur, Time Lords can usually regenerate into new bodies, resulting in extremely long life-spans.
