Character: The Eleventh Doctor
Series/Fandom: Doctor Who
Deviance: The Mind Trippy Deviance (aka whatever available deviance there is in whoville). Amy’s influence in shaping the universe around her and the people in it is emphasized and the canon point will involve the worlds created by her between the Doctor going into the crack and Amy waking up on her wedding day.
Age: Somewhere in the thousands, at least, although he keeps trying to say he’s younger than that. He looks to be somewhere in his mid-twenties.
Gender: Male
Species: Time Idiot Lord
Canon Used: television, audios, books
Appearance:
Psychology: Every incarnation of the Doctor is still the Doctor. There is that thirst for adventure. There is that thrill of seeing the universe. There is that odd way of looking down on all the odd little species and appreciating them yet viewing them as so alien and quaint as well. There's the need to charge into things head first and perhaps think of the consequences later. These traits span from first to eleventh, perhaps in varying degrees, but they're all still there, and they're all still part of the the Eleventh Doctor, but he's very much his own man, too, as most Doctors tend to be.
Eleven is an old man in a young man's body. He has mellowed out with time and experience. He is not ruled by guilt or an idealized version of his long-gone species. He has come to terms with what has happened during the Time War and he has realized that the Time Lords really weren't the greatest people in the universe. For this reason, he himself is a lot more carefree, too. He's traveling to travel now, to see the universe and to maybe have a friend along as well. He's not running from anything, he's just a tourist taking in the universe much like his younger self ten regenerations back. He doesn't seem to need to prove himself to his companions as much. He doesn't feel a need to impress or show off. He actively encourages Amy to go off on her own and try to figure things out, and doesn't feel a need to hold Amy's hand. He lets himself relax (as much as his lifestyle allows) and has a sense of humour about himself. He does not need to be guardian of the universe, he's happy just to experience it.
Due to how much of an influence Amy has on events and histories, the Doctor also has a great deal of nostalgia and a need to bring up and remember his past. He’ll reference former regenerations and adventures very often. He’ll also pull out old gadgets and accessories. He has no hesitation in bringing up his past. Quite the contrary, he actually seems to bring it up very often. He wants to hold onto who and what he was, so it’s important to him to really embrace his past, both good and bad.
While Eleven has a temper, it's fairly reasonable and healthy. He doesn't feel the need to bottle up his emotions. He'll allows himself the occasional outburst, which may at times make him seem fairly short tempered and cranky, but it also means he doesn't explode into larger and scarier rages. He doesn't pretend to be all right when he's not all right and he seems to have a reasonably stable and healthy emotional disposition. He can get cranky at times, but since he allows himself to be cranky he is able to get over it and move past those emotions, too.
He can also be very flighty and can very quickly move from one thing to the next without thinking very much about it. He will go off on his own and he will push Amy off in the opposite direction as well. He gets bored quickly, yet he is very fond of the notion of a new experience until the practicalities of it occur to him. His thoughts can be scattered at times. Despite this, he has a capacity to see the smaller picture as well as the larger picture. He shows an interest in making sure that Amy and Rory stay together because it's what's good for Amy. He can't pass by a child crying and he seems to show a special capacity for entertaining and connecting with children. He takes an interest in helping Craig get Sophie, and helping both Craig and Sophie find the motivation to be more ambitious about their futures in The Lodger. He seems to be more aware of other people and their smaller problems, which could very well be a byproduct of maturing and mellowing.
The Doctor can also be very secretive and can lie and mislead at times. As he told Amy, "If I always told you the truth, I wouldn't need you to trust me." Part of this may be due to how his mind works. His thoughts jump around so much, that he's halfway through acting before he thinks to fill anyone else in on what he's doing. He also has a sense of superiority at times which makes him certain that he has the right to lie about things and the ends can justify the means.
He can still be authoritative and superior at times. He condemned the future inhabitants of London for what was done to the space whale (yes, a space whale). He has been known to send Amy back to the TARDIS or tell her not to follow him into dangerous situations, taking it upon himself to make these decisions for her. While he does try to encourage independence in Amy, he will claim superiority when he feels it's necessary. Fortunately Amy is good at fighting back.
The Doctor has a tendency to think he's the smartest person in the room. That can very often be the case. This can lead to his enemies fearing him. It also helps him find clever ways of getting out of seemingly impossible predicaments. It can also mean he can be very cocky and sometimes overestimate his own abilities. He can unintentionally insult people and be presumptuous due to his inflated ego and intelligence. This may also lead to him being frustrated when he can't figure something out, like he did in the dream state during Amy's Choice.
Eleven can also be thoughtless and say rude things without even realizing it until it's too late. He can be oblivious to certain social norms or what might be considered annoying or intrusive. If it's brought to his attention though, he usually does his best to make it right. This is really never quite showy and done pretty stealthily and with a sense of humour about the entire incident. When he insulted Amy and her new life in Amy's Choice, he followed after her and made a joke (albeit at Rory's expense) and the situation seemed to lighten immediately. Also, in order to help Craig and Sophie with their issues in The Lodger he used reverse psychology and made them both admit to what would make them happy. He also uses this tactic to remind the Auton Rory of his former humanity.
He can also be very aloof and flippant at times, not really getting too outwardly upset about things but letting them roll off his back. He's gotten through his mid-life crisis, and now he's just the old guy who has enough experience to know not to get too upset about certain things. Yes, he can get cranky and angry, but he really doesn't rise to too much bait in most situations. He'll usually just smile through these things or wander off in another tangent or another direction, whichever he prefers.
He can get stir crazy when he's stuck in one place for too long, and he can become impatient with the normal flow of time. He became impatient waiting for Van Gogh to finish his painting in "Vincent and the Doctor." He's also been shown to throw himself into the experience when he really must and he's really good and properly stuck somewhere, as he did during The Lodger. He can be odd and unfamiliar with social customs, but he finds ways of integrating himself into his setting. He does it with a gusto and a curiosity, which some can find grating or charming, depending on the person.
He's also having fun this regeneration. As I said above, he's actually traveling to travel now instead of running from his past and his regrets. He has fun with his clothes, he has fun being a dork who thinks he's cool. He's basically your dad who thinks he's doing something cool yet it's really very embarrassing. Despite how uncool he might be (no matter what he claims) he seems to draw people in by how much fun he seems to be having.
And while there is still the loneliness and guilt and some degree of self-loathing, he seems to be beyond the destructive and suicidal tendencies of his recent past. While he might be the last of his species, which can be a sad and heavy burden to carry, he realizes there's an entire universe out there as well, and there are so many wonderful people out there for him to meet. And they may not be his own people, but they are wonderful and fun and make life that much more fun and exciting. He may no longer have his planet or his people, but with friends and adventure and a universe to explore, Eleven is content with having all of space and time as his home.
Other Skills/Abilities: The Doctor has some telepathic skills. He’s able to telepathically sense other Time Lords. He has some hypnotic abilities. He’s able to walk through someones mind or transfer memories through contact. He has a high healing rate, and is stronger than the average human. He also has a respiratory bypass system, which means it’s hard to suffocate or choke him. He can speak a bajillion languages and is very book smart. He’s also very good at football and dancing.
Other Weaknesses: While he might have book smarts, socially he can miss out on what’s normal and what’s not. He can be easily distracted. He's also allergic to aspirin, and while he may be strong and very good at healing, he can still die and not regenerate if the death happens too quickly and his body doesn't have time to go into regeneration mode.
History: Meet the Doctor. He’s really old and has lived a ton of lives. Well, not a ton, only eleven, but that’s still a lot.
He started out on the planet Gallifrey. When he was eight he was forced to look into the vortex, as part of his induction into the Time Lord Academy. When he looked into the vortex he was overcome with the desire to run, and that desire impacted his entire life.
During his Academy years he was known as Theta and was a member of the Prydonian house. He was seen as being lazy and rebellious, two things frowned upon by most of his teachers. He had a small circle of close friends, his closest being Koschei. They both dreamed of something outside of what Gallifrey could offer them. They wanted to escape the rigidity of Gallifrey and the Time Lords. They wanted to see the universe and experience everything they couldn’t at home. Eventually their desires forked, as Koschei’s turned darker and more controlling and he became the Master. The Doctor’s became more escapist and wreckless and he became the Doctor. Their goals had diverged, and the Doctor wanted a life of his own away from Galliffrey. So he had stole decommissioned type 40 TTC (aka his TARDIS) and ran away with his granddaughter Susan and traveled just to take in the wonder of the universe.
While traveling with Susan she became very enamored of Earth, and so her and the Doctor spent some time there. Susan wanted to attend an Earth school, and eventually her teachers, Barbara and Ian, discovered the Doctor, the TARDIS, and against the Doctor’s initial wishes a new trend developed. The Doctor began traveling with humans and his love affair with humans and their silly planet had become full fledged.
Eventually Susan left, Ian and Barbara left, but it wasn’t too bad as the Doctor took on new companions. His face changed eventually too, regeneration was a nifty trick the Time Lords developed to cheat death. The Doctor continued to take on new companions and travel the universe. That was until the Time Lords grew tired of the Doctor’s gallivanting around the universe. He was put on trial and found guilty, and so he was forced to regenerate and was stranded on Earth, his TARDIS unable to function. The Master took this opportunity to start playing with the Doctor again, and he seemed to try to find a way to destroy the Earth on an almost weekly basis so the Doctor could foil him. Those were fun times.
Soon the Doctor had his TARDIS functioning again though, and the Master stopped coming around for a while, so the Doctor started traveling again. But of course, he had to die and regenerate again, as is wont to happen. We’ll just say this regeneration ended with a great hatred of spiders. They suck. But the Doctor always loves having a new face - once he has it, and the Doctor was zooming around the universe. Sometimes the Master would come out to play again. Sometimes the Doctor would weigh the moral implications of changing history so the Daleks - scary pepperpot hatemachine things - never existed (he decided not to.) Eventually he was called back to Gallifrey, which was annoying. He dropped his companion, Sarah Jane, off, because Time Lords are silly and don’t like humans coming around. It’s like the planetary equivalent of a treehouse with a ‘No Girls Allowed’ sign. But the Doctor went back, and was given an assignment by the Time Lords and a sexy Time Lady named Romana to help him out. And so more travels, Romana regenerates, more adventures are had before Romana takes the robot dog and moves to another universe. It’s an age old story. More companions are had, he became President of Gallifrey for a while, the Master comes around and kills the Doctor while they’re playing for the universe as they do, and the Doctor has another new face. (That’s five if you’re keeping count).
More traveling is had. The Master keeps coming around, and the Doctor sort of kind of let’s him burn to death in a really awful way. Whoops. The Doctor has companions, there is fun had and death and sad things, too. Some companions pack it in, new ones are had, the majority still of the human variety. The Doctor has hit a brickwall of despair, and so he nearly sacrifices his own life to save a companion. Fortunately the Master is around to taunt him into living. The Master can be good for something sometimes. So the Doctor comes back again, with a very interesting coat.
So the Doctor has more adventures with friends and enemies. Along with the Master coming around to bother him, the Doctor and Master keep annoying their old classmate Ushas, now the Rani, when she’s trying to do some research (morally void research, but whatever). And so goes the usual cycle of adventures and things until the Time Lords call him back to Gallifrey again, and once again he’s put on trial. Things are going pretty badly, until the Master swoops in to save his old school friend, revealing that the Doctor’s prosecutor is none other than a possible darker future version of the Doctor known as the Valeyard. The trial ends, the Doctor wins, and he goes off for more traveling.
He picks up another new companion, the usual cycle continues, another regeneration, this one has a nice umbrella (we’re up to seven now), and the Master and the Rani still keep showing up places. He became darker and more manipulative, he found out he was Merlin, he visited his brother a couple times, had companions to keep him in line and companions who needed to bail because he was too much. Soon the Master got himself into trouble - as he does - and was captured by the Daleks and sentenced to death. The Doctor collected his remains, intending on bringing them back to Gallifrey. Of course the Master had some xanatos gambit up his sleeve (like his remains turning into a liquidy snake thing), and the Doctor’s TARDIS crashed right in front of some scary young kids with guns. So, the Doctor steps out of the TARDIS, is shot, and regenerates into a dude with a sexy voice and love for Victorian things and being forgetful. The Master ends up sucked into the eye of the Doctor’s TARDIS, and things move on as they do. The Doctor has adventures, must deal with paradoxes and parallel worlds and other annoying things, and once again gets called back to Gallifrey.
This time it’s for a great big war, the Time War to be exact. The Daleks and the Time Lords get into a huge war with the entire universe at stake. Species are destroyed, planets written out of history, soldiers forced to die, have history twisted, come back, and die again. It’s an ugly and dark war. Eventually it becomes clear that both sides will destroy everything in their need to win, and so for the sake of the universe the Doctor has no choice but to kill both sides to save time and space itself. He intended on killing himself as well, but he somehow survived, the last of his kind.
So the Doctor wakes up, regenerated again, and he’s not too happy about this. He picks up a new companion, Rose, and eventually starts to not totally hating life. But then the Daleks have to show up again and spoil the fun. So they kill the Doctor, as they like to do, and the Doctor wiped out all the Daleks, as he likes to do. But the Doctor sucks at dying, so instead he regenerates again. He continues traveling with Rose until she gets sucked into a parallel universe and he is sad. He’s sad for a while, and his new companion Martha tries to help him, which bless her. The Master comes back again as Prime Minister of Britain. The Master ends up dying though, so more sad, and Martha needs to have a life of her own, so she settles down back on Earth. The Doctor picks up Donna as his new companion, and things almost seem fun again, but then more Daleks, Rose coming back from the parallel universe, a clone of the Doctor (with some Donna thrown in) is created, the Doctor leaves Rose with his new clone - so more sad for the Doctor - and then he erases Donna’s memories of their time together - so even more sad for the Doctor. He travels some more on his own, the Master comes back as a hungry hobo in a hoodie who turns the entire world into himself, Rassilon and the Time Lords come back and remind the Doctor why he left Gallifrey, and the Master sacrifices himself to spite Rassilon, because man that guy is a douche. The Doctor ends up absorbing a ton of radiation when it’s all over, goes on a farewell tour, and regenerates once again.
And now enter our boy, the Eleventh Doctor.
While regenerating, the TARDIS is having a time of it, and accidentally crashes in the garden of a little girl named Amelia Pond who just happened to be praying to Santa. The Doctor comes in, has some fish and custard, checks out a crack in her wall, and realizes something is very wrong. Of course this is when the TARDIS starts calling him, because she’s still having a time of it, with the crashing and everything else. So the Doctor runs off, promising to be back in five minutes for Amelia. It takes him 12 years and Amelia is now Amy. He’s not very good with timing. When he comes back, there are some very unhappy alien authorities searching for Prisoner Zero, one of the many things hanging out in that crack in Amy’s wall. That crack that has been feeding off of Amy’s dreams for years. Eventually the Doctor returns Prisoner Zero to the authorities, then gives the authorities a history lesson before sending them off. The TARDIS in this time has repaired herself, too, and is all shiny and blue now. The Doctor takes off to have some alone time with his TARDIS, promising to be back in a few minutes for Amy. That takes two more years. For a Time Lord, he sucks at timing. But he invites Amy to travel with him, unknown to him, the night before her wedding.
The Doctor and Amy travel around, the Doctor needing Amy in a way that is quite strange to him. She helps him see the universe as he once had, and he’s not sure right away why this might be. The Doctor and Amy save space whales, fight off Daleks with Winston Churchhill, fun times all around. That crack in the universe is still following them though, and they encounter River Song, a bunch of soldier priest dudes, and some weeping angels. The Doctor also starts realizing what this crack was, and he starts piecing together why he might need Amy so much. The cracks are absorbing and erasing people and places from history. The crack that Amy grew up with and was connected to her and her dreams for so long. Amy is important in the grand scheme of things somehow.
But before he has time to really do anything about this, he has to take Amy home for her wedding. After declining her advances, he takes her and Rory to Venice for some holiday fun. There are fishy vampires, displaced by the cracks in the universe, too. Then some space pollen gets into the TARDIS that feeds off of dreams, awakening the Dream Lord, a darker part of the Doctor’s mind which presents two choices to Amy, one a life in the TARDIS and one a quiet life with Rory and a baby on the way. Both choices turn out to be dreams, but the fact that Amy’s choices are more important to the Doctor’s subconscious than the Doctor’s own mind and choices. He begins to realize the depth of Amy’s importance in the survival of everything, and just how important Amy’s memories and perceptions really are in the grand scheme of things. He also realizes just how much of himself is there in part due to Amelia and her desire for an ideal hero. The Doctor was a man who couldn’t leave a child who was crying. He was a protective older brother/father type who would encourage her to go out and meet new people and see new things and still care enough about her to try to support her relationship with her boyfriend, Rory. He was all the things both Amelia and Amy wanted and needed. He was still himself, but there wasn’t denying that Amy’s thoughts and perceptions and memories had impacted his personality too - probably in large part due to how new he was when he first met Amelia. This realization led him to embrace his own past more in order to hold onto himself. It also made him see just how much power Amy unknowingly held.
The Doctor begins insisting to Amy that he cannot tell her things, she must remember. Amy can’t just be told things, they must be remembered or else everything might be lost. When the Doctor and Amy and Rory face the Silurians, Rory is shot and absorbed by the crack. The Doctor insists to Amy that if she can just remember Rory she’ll still have him, but the moment is too much for her, and she forgets him. They continue on, the Doctor hoping Amy will remember Rory. They eventually receive notice from River Song that they’re needed back in the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire just happens to be Amy’s favourite period in history, and right under Stonehenge they find a box called a Pandorica, a throw back to Amy’s favourite legend of Pandora’s box. They also run into Rory again, now a Roman centurion. Amy finally remembers Rory, it’s only too bad he’s an Auton who shoots Amy. While that’s happening, almost all the big bads in the universe (plus the Draconians for some reason) come down and tell the Doctor that he’s the biggest monster and they’re all terrified of him, so they need to lock him up inside the Pandorica to save the universe.
But Auton!Rory rescues the Doctor from the Pandorica with the Doctor’s own sonic screwdriver thanks to the Doctor playing around with time traveling shenanigans. So the Doctor hops around, meeting Amelia Pond again. The stars have all gone out in the universe and now they are only the thing of legend. In fact the entire universe is being erased and absorbed by the cracks in the universe, the cracks that are being caused by his TARDIS exploding in some moment in time. The Doctor tells Amy how important her and her memories are and that she’ll be the one who has to bring him and the universe back, and then travels back in time through his time with Amy. He leaves hints and clues for her, and continues driving home the point that she needs to remember things, until finally he puts little Amelia to bed and walks into the cracks to close them, hoping that Amelia will grow up to be Amy and remember him back into existence.
And now the universe is in the hands - or more precisely mind - of Amy Pond, who is charged with remembering and recreating it correctly. The Doctor is along as well, to keep an eye on Amy and make sure she doesn’t bring the universe back all pear-shaped and also to help her along as she tries to make the universe right again.
Canon Point: After the Doctor walks into the crack in Amy’s wall and as the AU really kicks into gear with Amy’s writing and rewriting the universe.
Reality: The Doctor’s reality is in flux, due to Amy’s task of remembering the universe back into being right. For the most part though! The Doctor’s most constant setting is his TARDIS. She’s his time machine that allows him to travel thorugh time and space. She is a blue police box on the outside, and she’s bigger on the inside. The TARDIS is an almost infinite space, with many different rooms with many different functions. The Doctor uses the TARDIS to explore other worlds and other times.
The Doctor seems most anchored right now to Earth 2010 due to traveling with Amy and that being her own time. He’s not very much in contact right now with old friends on Earth at that time. There are agencies that recognize him though, including UNIT, which was the governmental authority for all things alien. The Doctor worked for them in his time stranded on Earth in his third incarnation. There’s also Torchwood, which is the covert authority on all things alien.
Earth also receives it’s fair share of space and time tourists, although most people remain unaware of this fact.
The Doctor himself is the last of his kind, so while there are laws regarding influencing events and changing history, there is no one to enforce these laws anymore.
The universe itself is also in a state of flux, due to being in the rewrite mode still. Things and principles may change, dependent on how Amy is doing with her task and how well the Doctor is doing in directing and pushing her towards the right choices and memories. The idea of parallel worlds and a changing reality are ever present in this reality.
The two important figures in the Doctor's reality right now are his TARDIS (described above) and Amy Pond. Amy is his companion, but at the moment he's acting more like her companion in a way. She's engineering the recreation of the universe itself after the Doctor's TARDIS blew up and caused cracks to appear within the universe and erase time and places and people. Amy is headstrong, stubborn, and impulsive. She's also good at winding the Doctor up, and he has a very paternal/brotherly relationship with her. Rory, Amy's fiance is also present. The Doctor likes Rory and encourages Rory and Amy's relationship. Rory is good for picking on, and he does his fair share of picking on the Doctor as well. Rory is also fiercely loyal to Amy and very protective of her.

Despite how uncool he might be (no matter what he claims) he seems to draw people in by how much fun he seems to be having.
And while there is still the loneliness and guilt and some degree of self-loathing, he seems to be beyond the destructive and suicidal tendencies of his recent past. While he might be the last of his species, which can be a sad and heavy burden to carry, he realizes there's an entire universe out there as well, and there are so many wonderful people out there for him to meet. And they may not be his own people, but they are wonderful and fun and make life that much more fun and exciting. He may no longer have his planet or his people, but with friends and adventure and a universe to explore, Eleven is content with having all of space and time as his home.
Other Skills/Abilities: The Doctor has some telepathic skills. He’s able to telepathically sense other Time Lords. He has some hypnotic abilities. He’s able to walk through someones mind or transfer memories through contact. He has a high healing rate, and is stronger than the average human. He also has a respiratory bypass system, which means it’s hard to suffocate or choke him. He can speak a bajillion languages and is very book smart. He’s also very good at football and dancing.
Other Weaknesses: While he might have book smarts, socially he can miss out on what’s normal and what’s not. He can be easily distracted. He's also allergic to aspirin, and while he may be strong and very good at healing, he can still die and not regenerate if the death happens too quickly and his body doesn't have time to go into regeneration mode.
History: Meet the Doctor. He’s really old and has lived a ton of lives. Well, not a ton, only eleven, but that’s still a lot.
He started out on the planet Gallifrey. When he was eight he was forced to look into the vortex, as part of his induction into the Time Lord Academy. When he looked into the vortex he was overcome with the desire to run, and that desire impacted his entire life.
During his Academy years he was known as Theta and was a member of the Prydonian house. He was seen as being lazy and rebellious, two things frowned upon by most of his teachers. He had a small circle of close friends, his closest being Koschei. They both dreamed of something outside of what Gallifrey could offer them. They wanted to escape the rigidity of Gallifrey and the Time Lords. They wanted to see the universe and experience everything they couldn’t at home. Eventually their desires forked, as Koschei’s turned darker and more controlling and he became the Master. The Doctor’s became more escapist and wreckless and he became the Doctor. Their goals had diverged, and the Doctor wanted a life of his own away from Galliffrey. So he had stole decommissioned type 40 TTC (aka his TARDIS) and ran away with his granddaughter Susan and traveled just to take in the wonder of the universe.
While traveling with Susan she became very enamored of Earth, and so her and the Doctor spent some time there. Susan wanted to attend an Earth school, and eventually her teachers, Barbara and Ian, discovered the Doctor, the TARDIS, and against the Doctor’s initial wishes a new trend developed. The Doctor began traveling with humans and his love affair with humans and their silly planet had become full fledged.
Eventually Susan left, Ian and Barbara left, but it wasn’t too bad as the Doctor took on new companions. His face changed eventually too, regeneration was a nifty trick the Time Lords developed to cheat death. The Doctor continued to take on new companions and travel the universe. That was until the Time Lords grew tired of the Doctor’s gallivanting around the universe. He was put on trial and found guilty, and so he was forced to regenerate and was stranded on Earth, his TARDIS unable to function. The Master took this opportunity to start playing with the Doctor again, and he seemed to try to find a way to destroy the Earth on an almost weekly basis so the Doctor could foil him. Those were fun times.
Soon the Doctor had his TARDIS functioning again though, and the Master stopped coming around for a while, so the Doctor started traveling again. But of course, he had to die and regenerate again, as is wont to happen. We’ll just say this regeneration ended with a great hatred of spiders. They suck. But the Doctor always loves having a new face - once he has it, and the Doctor was zooming around the universe. Sometimes the Master would come out to play again. Sometimes the Doctor would weigh the moral implications of changing history so the Daleks - scary pepperpot hatemachine things - never existed (he decided not to.) Eventually he was called back to Gallifrey, which was annoying. He dropped his companion, Sarah Jane, off, because Time Lords are silly and don’t like humans coming around. It’s like the planetary equivalent of a treehouse with a ‘No Girls Allowed’ sign. But the Doctor went back, and was given an assignment by the Time Lords and a sexy Time Lady named Romana to help him out. And so more travels, Romana regenerates, more adventures are had before Romana takes the robot dog and moves to another universe. It’s an age old story. More companions are had, he became President of Gallifrey for a while, the Master comes around and kills the Doctor while they’re playing for the universe as they do, and the Doctor has another new face. (That’s five if you’re keeping count).
More traveling is had. The Master keeps coming around, and the Doctor sort of kind of let’s him burn to death in a really awful way. Whoops. The Doctor has companions, there is fun had and death and sad things, too. Some companions pack it in, new ones are had, the majority still of the human variety. The Doctor has hit a brickwall of despair, and so he nearly sacrifices his own life to save a companion. Fortunately the Master is around to taunt him into living. The Master can be good for something sometimes. So the Doctor comes back again, with a very interesting coat.
So the Doctor has more adventures with friends and enemies. Along with the Master coming around to bother him, the Doctor and Master keep annoying their old classmate Ushas, now the Rani, when she’s trying to do some research (morally void research, but whatever). And so goes the usual cycle of adventures and things until the Time Lords call him back to Gallifrey again, and once again he’s put on trial. Things are going pretty badly, until the Master swoops in to save his old school friend, revealing that the Doctor’s prosecutor is none other than a possible darker future version of the Doctor known as the Valeyard. The trial ends, the Doctor wins, and he goes off for more traveling.
He picks up another new companion, the usual cycle continues, another regeneration, this one has a nice umbrella (we’re up to seven now), and the Master and the Rani still keep showing up places. He became darker and more manipulative, he found out he was Merlin, he visited his brother a couple times, had companions to keep him in line and companions who needed to bail because he was too much. Soon the Master got himself into trouble - as he does - and was captured by the Daleks and sentenced to death. The Doctor collected his remains, intending on bringing them back to Gallifrey. Of course the Master had some xanatos gambit up his sleeve (like his remains turning into a liquidy snake thing), and the Doctor’s TARDIS crashed right in front of some scary young kids with guns. So, the Doctor steps out of the TARDIS, is shot, and regenerates into a dude with a sexy voice and love for Victorian things and being forgetful. The Master ends up sucked into the eye of the Doctor’s TARDIS, and things move on as they do. The Doctor has adventures, must deal with paradoxes and parallel worlds and other annoying things, and once again gets called back to Gallifrey.
This time it’s for a great big war, the Time War to be exact. The Daleks and the Time Lords get into a huge war with the entire universe at stake. Species are destroyed, planets written out of history, soldiers forced to die, have history twisted, come back, and die again. It’s an ugly and dark war. Eventually it becomes clear that both sides will destroy everything in their need to win, and so for the sake of the universe the Doctor has no choice but to kill both sides to save time and space itself. He intended on killing himself as well, but he somehow survived, the last of his kind.
So the Doctor wakes up, regenerated again, and he’s not too happy about this. He picks up a new companion, Rose, and eventually starts to not totally hating life. But then the Daleks have to show up again and spoil the fun. So they kill the Doctor, as they like to do, and the Doctor wiped out all the Daleks, as he likes to do. But the Doctor sucks at dying, so instead he regenerates again. He continues traveling with Rose until she gets sucked into a parallel universe and he is sad. He’s sad for a while, and his new companion Martha tries to help him, which bless her. The Master comes back again as Prime Minister of Britain. The Master ends up dying though, so more sad, and Martha needs to have a life of her own, so she settles down back on Earth. The Doctor picks up Donna as his new companion, and things almost seem fun again, but then more Daleks, Rose coming back from the parallel universe, a clone of the Doctor (with some Donna thrown in) is created, the Doctor leaves Rose with his new clone - so more sad for the Doctor - and then he erases Donna’s memories of their time together - so even more sad for the Doctor. He travels some more on his own, the Master comes back as a hungry hobo in a hoodie who turns the entire world into himself, Rassilon and the Time Lords come back and remind the Doctor why he left Gallifrey, and the Master sacrifices himself to spite Rassilon, because man that guy is a douche. The Doctor ends up absorbing a ton of radiation when it’s all over, goes on a farewell tour, and regenerates once again.
And now enter our boy, the Eleventh Doctor.
While regenerating, the TARDIS is having a time of it, and accidentally crashes in the garden of a little girl named Amelia Pond who just happened to be praying to Santa. The Doctor comes in, has some fish and custard, checks out a crack in her wall, and realizes something is very wrong. Of course this is when the TARDIS starts calling him, because she’s still having a time of it, with the crashing and everything else. So the Doctor runs off, promising to be back in five minutes for Amelia. It takes him 12 years and Amelia is now Amy. He’s not very good with timing. When he comes back, there are some very unhappy alien authorities searching for Prisoner Zero, one of the many things hanging out in that crack in Amy’s wall. That crack that has been feeding off of Amy’s dreams for years. Eventually the Doctor returns Prisoner Zero to the authorities, then gives the authorities a history lesson before sending them off. The TARDIS in this time has repaired herself, too, and is all shiny and blue now. The Doctor takes off to have some alone time with his TARDIS, promising to be back in a few minutes for Amy. That takes two more years. For a Time Lord, he sucks at timing. But he invites Amy to travel with him, unknown to him, the night before her wedding.
The Doctor and Amy travel around, the Doctor needing Amy in a way that is quite strange to him. She helps him see the universe as he once had, and he’s not sure right away why this might be. The Doctor and Amy save space whales, fight off Daleks with Winston Churchhill, fun times all around. That crack in the universe is still following them though, and they encounter River Song, a bunch of soldier priest dudes, and some weeping angels. The Doctor also starts realizing what this crack was, and he starts piecing together why he might need Amy so much. The cracks are absorbing and erasing people and places from history. The crack that Amy grew up with and was connected to her and her dreams for so long. Amy is important in the grand scheme of things somehow.
But before he has time to really do anything about this, he has to take Amy home for her wedding. After declining her advances, he takes her and Rory to Venice for some holiday fun. There are fishy vampires, displaced by the cracks in the universe, too. Then some space pollen gets into the TARDIS that feeds off of dreams, awakening the Dream Lord, a darker part of the Doctor’s mind which presents two choices to Amy, one a life in the TARDIS and one a quiet life with Rory and a baby on the way. Both choices turn out to be dreams, but the fact that Amy’s choices are more important to the Doctor’s subconscious than the Doctor’s own mind and choices. He begins to realize the depth of Amy’s importance in the survival of everything, and just how important Amy’s memories and perceptions really are in the grand scheme of things. He also realizes just how much of himself is there in part due to Amelia and her desire for an ideal hero. The Doctor was a man who couldn’t leave a child who was crying. He was a protective older brother/father type who would encourage her to go out and meet new people and see new things and still care enough about her to try to support her relationship with her boyfriend, Rory. He was all the things both Amelia and Amy wanted and needed. He was still himself, but there wasn’t denying that Amy’s thoughts and perceptions and memories had impacted his personality too - probably in large part due to how new he was when he first met Amelia. This realization led him to embrace his own past more in order to hold onto himself. It also made him see just how much power Amy unknowingly held.
The Doctor begins insisting to Amy that he cannot tell her things, she must remember. Amy can’t just be told things, they must be remembered or else everything might be lost. When the Doctor and Amy and Rory face the Silurians, Rory is shot and absorbed by the crack. The Doctor insists to Amy that if she can just remember Rory she’ll still have him, but the moment is too much for her, and she forgets him. They continue on, the Doctor hoping Amy will remember Rory. They eventually receive notice from River Song that they’re needed back in the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire just happens to be Amy’s favourite period in history, and right under Stonehenge they find a box called a Pandorica, a throw back to Amy’s favourite legend of Pandora’s box. They also run into Rory again, now a Roman centurion. Amy finally remembers Rory, it’s only too bad he’s an Auton who shoots Amy. While that’s happening, almost all the big bads in the universe (plus the Draconians for some reason) come down and tell the Doctor that he’s the biggest monster and they’re all terrified of him, so they need to lock him up inside the Pandorica to save the universe.
But Auton!Rory rescues the Doctor from the Pandorica with the Doctor’s own sonic screwdriver thanks to the Doctor playing around with time traveling shenanigans. So the Doctor hops around, meeting Amelia Pond again. The stars have all gone out in the universe and now they are only the thing of legend. In fact the entire universe is being erased and absorbed by the cracks in the universe, the cracks that are being caused by his TARDIS exploding in some moment in time. The Doctor tells Amy how important her and her memories are and that she’ll be the one who has to bring him and the universe back, and then travels back in time through his time with Amy. He leaves hints and clues for her, and continues driving home the point that she needs to remember things, until finally he puts little Amelia to bed and walks into the cracks to close them, hoping that Amelia will grow up to be Amy and remember him back into existence.
And now the universe is in the hands - or more precisely mind - of Amy Pond, who is charged with remembering and recreating it correctly. The Doctor is along as well, to keep an eye on Amy and make sure she doesn’t bring the universe back all pear-shaped and also to help her along as she tries to make the universe right again.
Canon Point: After the Doctor walks into the crack in Amy’s wall and as the AU really kicks into gear with Amy’s writing and rewriting the universe.
Reality: The Doctor’s reality is in flux, due to Amy’s task of remembering the universe back into being right. For the most part though! The Doctor’s most constant setting is his TARDIS. She’s his time machine that allows him to travel thorugh time and space. She is a blue police box on the outside, and she’s bigger on the inside. The TARDIS is an almost infinite space, with many different rooms with many different functions. The Doctor uses the TARDIS to explore other worlds and other times.
The Doctor seems most anchored right now to Earth 2010 due to traveling with Amy and that being her own time. He’s not very much in contact right now with old friends on Earth at that time. There are agencies that recognize him though, including UNIT, which was the governmental authority for all things alien. The Doctor worked for them in his time stranded on Earth in his third incarnation. There’s also Torchwood, which is the covert authority on all things alien.
Earth also receives it’s fair share of space and time tourists, although most people remain unaware of this fact.
The Doctor himself is the last of his kind, so while there are laws regarding influencing events and changing history, there is no one to enforce these laws anymore.
The universe itself is also in a state of flux, due to being in the rewrite mode still. Things and principles may change, dependent on how Amy is doing with her task and how well the Doctor is doing in directing and pushing her towards the right choices and memories. The idea of parallel worlds and a changing reality are ever present in this reality.
The two important figures in the Doctor's reality right now are his TARDIS (described above) and Amy Pond. Amy is his companion, but at the moment he's acting more like her companion in a way. She's engineering the recreation of the universe itself after the Doctor's TARDIS blew up and caused cracks to appear within the universe and erase time and places and people. Amy is headstrong, stubborn, and impulsive. She's also good at winding the Doctor up, and he has a very paternal/brotherly relationship with her. Rory, Amy's fiance is also present. The Doctor likes Rory and encourages Rory and Amy's relationship. Rory is good for picking on, and he does his fair share of picking on the Doctor as well. Rory is also fiercely loyal to Amy and very protective of her.
