THE TENTH DOCTOR !
charismatic - cheerful - forgiving - clever - old
[/center]
As you may have guessed, my name is the Doctor, but almost everyone calls me John Smith, Theta Sigma. I was born a long time ago, so that makes me just about 906. Don’t be alarmed, but I am a Time Lord.
ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY
---------------------------
WITH THE PERSON THAT YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR
The Doctor stands 6'1" tall. He has brown hair, brown eyes, and a lean body. He has two main suits that he likes to wear. One is a dark brown one with blue pinstripes and the other is a navy blue one with red pinstripes. But both suits are often accompanied by a brown overcoat, given to him by Janis Joplin. And don't forget those Converse All Stars--his footwear of choice. There are also his 'brainy specs'--dark-framed glasses that he wears just because they make him look clever.
AND SO WE REACH A NEW POINT
---------------------------
IN THE PATH OF LIFE, DEATH AND IMMORTALITY
This incarnation of the Doctor, like all of them, is a clever genius. Where he differs from some of his other incarnations is that he doesn't mind flouting that fact every now and then. He doesn't mind letting people know how brilliant he is. The Doctor is very cheerful, enthusiastic and charismatic. He has the habit of shouting out words, unexpectedly, when something so obvious was staring him in the face that he can't believe it took him time to see it.
The Doctor hates it when he's rude. Unlike his previous incarnation, this one cares about social conventions. The Doctor is very forgiving. He forgave the Master during the Year that Never Was and would have been more than happy to save Davros' life and was devastated by what Meta-Crisis him had done. He tries to prevent destruction wherever he goes and doesn't like to accept defeat or failure.
He's not as clueless when it comes to love as some of his other incarnations were but that doesn't necessarily mean that he knows how to go about letting people know how much he loves them. He couldn't utter the words to Rose and lost her to, not only Pete's World, but also the Meta Crisis Doctor who could tell her that he loved her. Like his other incarnations, he loathes violence. As a matter of fact, he dislikes most things military. Don't try to hand him a gun and don't try to salute him.
But the Doctor isn't all smiles. Inside, he's very old. He's lost so much in his life and, while he can pretend to be a cheerful bloke on the outside, all of those losses make him feel so lonely. He also is prone to bouts of anger. And, if someone does something that he considers unforgivable, he's not afraid to let them know, like PM Harriet Jones having Torchwood shoot down the Sycorax. After Donna left him, he decided to start traveling on his own because he's tired of being heart-broken...Rose, Martha, and then Donna. And, now that's on his own with no one by his side, his darker side could possibly emerge more often.
HOW CAN WE EVER TELL A TALE
---------------------------
IF WE STILL DON'T KNOW ITS BEGINNING AND END
Not a lot is known about the Doctor's early life. A lot of information about his early life conflicts with what other people believe. He was born on the planet Gallifrey and it was when he was eight-years-old and had to look into the Untempered Schism, a Time Lord initiation rite, he ran away, while his good friend, the Master, went crazy. It was when he broke one of the Time Lords' laws on non-interference that he faced being erased from history. His brother, however, helped him escape Gallifrey by helping him steal the TARDIS.
His tenth incarnation came about after his previous self absorbed the Time Vortex from Rose. They were going to go to the planet Barcelona together but, seeing how Rose wasn't handling the change very well, he decided to take her back home to Christmas 2006. But the final stages of his regeneration weren't going too well so, shortly after seeing Jackie and Mickey again, the Doctor fell into a coma. He briefly came out of it to save Rose from a killer Christmas tree but then fell back into it again. But he was able to come out of it for good just in time to save Earth from the Sycorax.
And that was all it took for Rose to decide to continue traveling with him. Their first trip was to New Earth. And then they moved on to Scotland in the late 19th century, where they met Queen Victoria and were subsequently knighted for saving her from a werewolf. But then they were also banished from the British Empire for their carefree attitude toward danger. It was this incident that inspired the Queen to found Torchwood and set the organization's main goal to defend the planet from the Doctor.
They were soon back on 21st century Earth together and, with the help of Mickey, K-9, and Sarah Jane Smith, they stopped the Krillitane, who had infiltrated a school. Mickey joined them aboard the TARDIS afterwards. They stopped the Clockwork Droids in 18th century France. They witnessed the birth of the Cybermen on a parallel Earth. After that, Mickey decided to stay on the parallel Earth where his grandma was still alive.
The Doctor and Rose were alone together once again. After various adventures together, they ended up back on Earth during Rose's time, only to discover that people were being visited by ghosts. The Doctor tracked the signal to the Torchwood Tower and found out they were using these 'ghost shifts' as a power source, and this power source was also ripping a hole--that had originally been created by a Void Ship--between parallel worlds.
It wasn't long before it was discovered that the ghosts were really Cybermen, and then the Cult of Skaro came out of the Void Ship. The Cult of Skaro had the Genesis Ark--a prison ship containing millions of Daleks inside of it--which they opened up. To stop the Daleks and the Cybermen the Doctor decided to open up the Void. Anything covered in Void stuff would be sucked into it--all of the Daleks, all of the Cybermen...and Rose and the Doctor. The Doctor sent Rose to the parallel world with Mickey, Jackie, and Pete. But she came back. They opened up the Void and held on for dear life. Only when Rose's lever started to malfunction and she fixed it, she couldn't hold on. Rose was saved from being sucked into the Void by her parallel father.
The Doctor and Rose met what he thought was going to be the last time at Bad Wolf Bay in Norway. Rose told her that she loved him but, before he could say the words back, he was cut off. He didn't have much time to grieve before Donna Noble appeared in the TARDIS out of nowhere. He subsequently defeated the Racnoss but Donna decided not to travel with him because of his merciless treatment towards the Racnoss. The Doctor soon met the medical student Martha Jones and invited her to travel with him. Some of their adventures together included meeting Shakespeare, another trip to New Earth for him, and running into the Weeping Angels for the first time.
She left him after the Year that Never Was. The Master tried to take over the universe with the help of some of the last surviving humans he had taken from the end of the universe. The Doctor forgave the Master for all that he had done but then the Master's wife, Lucy, shot him. To win one last victory over the Doctor, the Master refused to regenerate and died in the Doctor's arms.
After Martha left him, the Doctor accidentally crashed his TARDIS into his fifth incarnation's TARDIS. After getting that situation sorted out, before he could put the TARDIS' shields back up, the Titanic crashed into it. On board the spaceship, the Doctor quickly became close to Astrid but she died, along with several others. The Doctor set out again on his own, Astrid's death just one more on a long list of people who had died because of him.
The Doctor was soon reunited with Donna when they both were investigating Adipose Industries. This time around, she wanted to come and travel with him. Their time together was destined to come to an end when Donna ran into Rose, who told her to tell the Doctor "Bad Wolf." The Doctor went back to 21st century Earth to make sure that everything was okay. It appeared to be so...until the Earth was stolen. Twenty-seven planets had been stolen. With the help of Martha, Captain Jack Harkness, Rose, Sarah Jane Smith, Jackie, and Mickey, he was able to lock on a signal that allowed him to find where Earth was taken to.
It was Davros and the Daleks behind it all. The planets were going to be used to power the Reality Bomb, which would destroy all matter. The TARDIS, with Donna inside of it, was sent to be destroyed. When Donna touched the Doctor's severed hand, a new Doctor was born. And the meta-crisis caused Donna to become half Time Lord. Meta Crisis Doctor destroyed all of the Daleks. The Doctor offered to save Davros but Davros refused to come aboard the TARDIS. The Doctor had his companions towed the Earth back to where it belonged. The Doctor said his goodbyes to everyone and dropped Rose and Meta Crisis Doctor off back to the parallel Earth. Meta Crisis Doctor was able to tell Rose that he loved her and, being full of anger like the previous Doctor's incarnation had been, the Doctor knew that Meta Crisis him needed her to help him out.
The Doctor was then forced to remove all of Donna's Time Lord abilities and memories of traveling with him because it would have killed her. He dropped her off at home, telling her grandfather and mother that she could never remember him. Traveling on his own again, he soon found himself on Mars where he ran across a base inhabited by people from Earth. He knew that the crew of the base were going to die and knew that it was one of the fixed points of time that could never be changed. But he tried to change it anyways because he was tired of seeing innocent people die. He saved three of the crew members: Adelaide, Yuri, and Mia. But Adelaide, knowing that she was supposed to have died, when she went into her home, committed suicide.
Distraught over the fact that he couldn't always change time, the Doctor started to ponder his own death. And then Ood Sigma appeared on the street. The Doctor asked him if he had gone too far this time around, if it was time for him to die. Ood Sigma vanished without answering him. The Doctor went back into his TARDIS and a defiant 'no' was all he needed to shout out because he wasn't ready to die. And now he's off again to explore the universe on his own.

THERE IS ALWAYS A PUPPETEER
---------------------------
CONTROLLING EVEN THE STRANGEST OF THE PUPPETS[/center][/color]
Hello! My name is Lindsay, and I have been around for nearly twenty-two years. Roleplaying's not my only hobby, I'm also super talented at reading. Want to get in touch? You can contact me by emailand also by PM here at ACROSS TIME AND SPACE. So even if I've only been roleplaying for over six years, I think I’m pretty good! Here's an example:Washington DC. 2011. Not all that interesting. As a matter of fact, it hadn't changed all that much since he had last been there in 1969. The city hadn't been all that interesting but the two things he had encountered while there had been. One had been the woman he had found sitting on a bench: Esther Drummond. She had worked for Torchwood, and it sounded like the Doctor had missed out on a good time when everyone had become immortal and the egregious Captain Jack had become mortal. But that had been humans messing with other humans; he couldn't be expected to intervene every time that that happened or he and the TARDIS would never get off of Earth.
The second important discovery in Washington DC was the fact that Washington DC really wasn't Washington DC anymore. The capital of America was now just one tiny speck in this ever-growing super-universe. Worlds were being brought together from across all of time and space and that was, to put it simply, not good at all. And the Doctor fixing this one was going to be on the scale of him having had to reboot the whole universe not too long ago.
But there was one big difference between then and now: then he had had Amy, Rory, and River helping him out; now he was all by himself. Amy and Rory were safely living in a new home he had bought them, maybe trying to make another baby who, hopefully, wouldn't be stolen from them and programmed to kill the Doctor. And River was...Well who could say what she was doing. She was her own woman. At least she had finally gotten killing him out of her system so the next encounter was going to be more congenial, although there might not be a next encounter if the Doctor couldn't fix what was going on. The mad man in a box was supposed to fix all of time and space by himself this time.
The Doctor shook his head. "No, not by myself. You'll always be here with me, right, Sexy?" He looked around, half expecting the TARDIS to reply. But, of course, she didn't. He was a mad man in a box who was all alone and who had no idea where to even begin saving the universe. Luckily for him, he had a living time machine that always took him to where he was needed, even when he didn't want to go there. With a few flipping of switches there and a few clicks of buttons here, the Doctor was on his way.
The TARDIS de-materialized, and the Doctor turned the scanner on. "Okay!" He clapped his hands together. "I'm in an alleyway...In an alleyway somewhere and some when, and I'm going to be needed in this alleyway to..." The Doctor broke off as he spotted a figure sitting down up against the wall. "Oh, hello..." The Doctor zoomed up on the figure and caught her as she mouthed her words of warning.
The Doctor didn't even need to think about it. He was out of the TARDIS, shutting the doors behind him, before you could say 'Geronimo.' He ran over to River and squatted down beside her. Now was definitely not the time to tell her that her mum wouldn't mind having a visit from her. He whipped out his sonic screwdriver and scanned her injuries. He looked at the readings. "You're not dying," he cheerfully announced.
A logical question to ask was 'What happened to you?' but the Doctor wasn't going to push her for answers...at least not right now. She needed her injuries to be healed, and he had just the things inside the TARDIS for that. Besides, it was safer in there, anyways, because whoever had done this to her might be lurking around nearby. "Come on, River." He wrapped one of her arms around his shoulders and carefully stood up, supporting as much of her weight as he could.
It was a short trip back to the TARDIS and, once they were safely inside, the Doctor, still letting River cling on to him for support, made his way over to the console. There was, aptly enough, a button that looked like the red cross you'd see on a first aid kit. A push of that button and the nanogenes were released. It was only a matter of seconds before they had done their job and healed her outside injuries. The Doctor couldn't have known about what was going on inside her head. "See? All better now," he said, turning his head so he could look at River, "They don't call me the Doctor for nothing."
Truth be told, he hated seeing River like this. When had he ever seen her this vulnerable? Nothing ever got to her like this. Her words of warning were just coming home to the Doctor now because whoever had done this to her had to be someone that was worth more than being wary of. Suddenly, saving the universe seemed secondary to making sure that River was going to be okay.
