| The Eight Doctor was a romantic at heart. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Eighth Doctor was full of spirit and the joy of life, and showcased, on multiple occasions, his love for humanity, especially admiring how they "always [saw] patterns in things that [weren't] there," ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') but also degraded them for "heading towards [an [[Ice Warrior]]] ship like moths to the flame." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]'') So strong was his spirit that he was able to hold off a [[Cyber-conversion]] on a mental plane.

| |
| Like his previous incarnations, the Eighth Doctor stood against wanton violence, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Novel of the Film (novelisation)|The Novel of the Film]]'') and was insistent on solving solutions in a peaceful manner, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]'') but knew that that would not be an option all the time, and was not above resulting to violence when needed.{{Fact}}
| |
|
| |
| As a coping mechanism,{{Fact}} the Doctor would react to threats of death and torture with dark humour; mocking {{Roberts}}'s affection for [[Chang Lee]] while he was strapped to a gurney, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') and calling the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] unimaginative during their attempt to convert him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dreadnought (comic story)|Dreadnought]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Eighth Doctor was willing to help anyone he came across regardless of his connection to them, and sacrifice himself for the sake of others.{{Fact}} He told Grace to leave him at the Master's mercy so she could reroute the power of the TARDIS and close the [[Eye of Harmony]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') and ran back into [[Adisham]] to save its residence from the [[Red Death]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]'')

| |
| The Eighth Doctor believed that "the universe [hung] [on] such a fragile thread of coincidences" that it was "useless to meddle with it", unless the meddler was a Time Lord. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')

|
| |
| The Doctor didn't believe in [[ghost]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') deemed "class war[s]" to be "stupid", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Descendance (comic story)|Descendance]]'') and was firm believer in manners. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]'')

| |
| When the Eighth Doctor met his demise, he had been thoroughly broken by the circumstances of his travels and the breakout of the Time War, to the point that he decided to remain onboard a crashing spaceship, pleading with [[Cass (The Night of the Doctor)|Cass]] to put aside her fear and hatred of the Time Lords for him to save her. This ultimately ended in failure, and the Doctor died in the crash, having lost the will to regenerate until the [[Sisterhood of Karn]] temporarily restored him to life.
| |
|
| |
| Though he continued to refuse joining the Time War, seeing Cass's lifeless body caused the Doctor to finally lose all hope, claim the deceased Cass's [[bandolier]] and abandon the title of "Doctor" with extreme disparity after being coaxed by [[Ohila]] to embrace his regeneration into a warrior, expressing bitter delight when informed the change would hurt. His last act was to salute past companions Charley, C'rizz, Lucie, Tamsin and Molly, and apologies to Cass, before quoting the [[Bible]] and drinking the Elixir prepared to complete his painful regeneration.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Where Nobody Knows Your Name (comic story)|Where Nobody Knows Your Name]]'') Believing it to be his job, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Road to Hell (comic story)|The Road to Hell]]'') the Doctor would try to save any life he could, even the life of his [[Imagineum]] doppelganger.

| In contrast to his scheming predecessor, the Eighth Doctor could not stay on one train of thought for more than a few seconds, getting distracted by the comfort of his new shoes when recalling his childhood, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') and almost ruining his cover story by pointing out the brilliance of his interrogator's deduction. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Road to Hell (comic story)|The Road to Hell]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor's mental health was somewhat questionable; while he usually acted like an eccentric gentleman, he also had moments of certifiable insanity.{{Fact}}
| |
|
| |
| He claimed [[Jam|apricot jam]] calmed him down, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[By Hook or By Crook (comic story)|By Hook or By Crook]]'') and also enjoyed [[walnut muffin]]s, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack (comic story)|The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack]]'') and [[lemonade]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Flood (comic story)|The Flood]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Taking his friends well being as his primary concern, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Perceptions (comic story)|Perceptions]]'') the Doctor helped Izzy adjust to Destrii's body, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Beautiful Freak (comic story)|Beautiful Freak]]'') and gave up the power of the [[Time Vortex]] the second he noticed Destrii needed his help to escape an exploding [[Cyber-ship]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Flood (comic story)|The Flood]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Viewing them as were "the worst thing [one] [could] possibly imagine," the Doctor saw the [[Dalek]]s as "cold, ruthless killers." ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fire and Brimstone (comic story)|Fire and Brimstone]]'')
| |
|
| |
| [[Destrii]] described the Eighth Doctor as "quite the package" due to him possessing "brains, buns and barrel-loads of bravado". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Ophidius (comic story)|Ophidius]]'')
| |
|
| |
| When faced with execution, the Doctor confided in Izzy that one of his few regrets was being unable to show her more of the universe's wonders. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[By Hook or By Crook (comic story)|By Hook or By Crook]]'')
| |
|
| |
| === Habits and quirks ===
| |
| The Eighth Doctor exhibited a habit of giving people hints about their future, while not expressing outright the nature of that future, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') though he stopped this habit when [[Grace Holloway]] called him out on being cryptic about her future. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fallen (comic story)|The Fallen]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He would often utter, "my lives", when surprised, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Life of Matter and Death (comic story)|A Life of Matter and Death]]'', ''[[Fire and Brimstone (comic story)|Fire and Brimstone]]'') and, "blazes", when annoyed or surprised. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fallen (comic story)|The Fallen]]'', ''[[The Company of Thieves (comic story)|The Company of Thieves]]'', ''[[The Glorious Dead (comic story)|The Glorious Dead]]'', ''[[Ophidius (comic story)|Ophidius]]'', ''[[Beautiful Freak (comic story)|Beautiful Freak]]'', ''[[The Land of Happy Endings (comic story)|The Land of Happy Endings]]'') He was also known to say "good grief".

| |
|
| |
| He also had a tendency to repeat himself when he was trying to make a point, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') reassure his friends, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Life of Matter and Death (comic story)|A Life of Matter and Death]]'') rethinking his course of action, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fire and Brimstone (comic story)|Fire and Brimstone]]'') standing in defiance of an adversary, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Tooth and Claw (comic story)|Tooth and Claw]]'') reevaluating his current predicament, having an epiphany, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Final Chapter (comic story)|The Final Chapter]]'') in a state of panic, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Glorious Dead (comic story)|The Glorious Dead]]'') in observation, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Ophidius (comic story)|Ophidius]]'') or in a moment of excitement. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Oblivion (comic story)|Oblivion]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Eighth Doctor made a habit of randomly [[kiss]]ing or getting kissed by others, such as with [[Grace Holloway]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]''; [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fallen (comic story)|The Fallen]]'') and [[Destrii]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Uroboros (comic story)|Uroboros]]'', ''[[Sins of the Fathers (comic story)|Sins of the Fathers]]'')

([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Flood (comic story)|The Flood]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Like his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]], the Eighth Doctor could be pedantic at times, focusing on a minor detail when presented with a greater design, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]''; [[COMIC]]: ''[[TV Action! (comic story)|TV Action!]]'', ''[[Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game]]'', ''[[The Power of Thoueris! (comic story)|The Power of Thoueris!]]'', ''[[Briarwood (comic story)|Briarwood]]'') or making puns in the face of danger. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Endgame (DWM comic story)|Endgame]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Like his [[First Doctor|first incarnation]], the Eight Doctor was known to grasp the lapels of his frockcoats. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Endgame (DWM comic story)|Endgame]]'', ''[[Wormwood (comic story)|Wormwood]]'', ''[[The Fallen (comic story)|The Fallen]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Like many of his predecessors, the Doctor would often flick the long tails of his frockcoat back and stand with his hands in his pockets, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]''; [[COMIC]]: ''[[Endgame (DWM comic story)|Endgame]]'', ''[[Fire and Brimstone (comic story)|Fire and Brimstone]]'', ''[[By Hook or By Crook (comic story)|By Hook or By Crook]]'', ''[[Tooth and Claw (comic story)|Tooth and Claw]]'', ''[[The Final Chapter (comic story)|The Final Chapter]]'', ''[[The Fallen (comic story)|The Fallen]]'', ''[[The Road to Hell (comic story)|The Road to Hell]]'', ''[[TV Action!

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Endgame (DWM comic story)|Endgame]]'', ''[[The Keep (comic story)|The Keep]]'', ''[[Tooth and Claw (comic story)|Tooth and Claw]]'', ''[[The Road to Hell (comic story)|The Road to Hell]]'', ''[[The Company of Thieves (comic story)|The Company of Thieves]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He would often lean towards making a witty remark, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Keep (comic story)|The Keep]]'', ''[[Fire and Brimstone (comic story)|Fire and Brimstone]]'', ''[[By Hook or By Crook (comic story)|By Hook or By Crook]]'', ''[[Tooth and Claw (comic story)|Tooth and Claw]]'', ''[[Wormwood (comic story)|Wormwood]]'', ''[[The Fallen (comic story)|The Fallen]]'', ''[[TV Action!

| === Skills ===
| |
| The Eighth Doctor had a talent in pick-pocketing, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]''; [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Company of Thieves (comic story)|The Company of Thieves]]'', ''[[The Way of All Flesh (comic story)|The Way of All Flesh]]'', ''[[The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack (comic story)|The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack]]'') and claimed his skills were "well-honed" enough for him to know a fake jostle on contact. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Flood (comic story)|The Flood]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor showed great proficiency at commandeering transport, being able to drive a police [[Motorbike|motorcycle]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') and singlehandedly pilot both a Lockheed F-40 Stealth [[Helicopter]] ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fallen (comic story)|The Fallen]]'') and a [[Mobox]] flyer, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Uroboros (comic story)|Uroboros]]'') and commandeer a [[bus]] with identical ease. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game]]'') He could also ride a [[horse]] unaided. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Bad Blood (comic story)|Bad Blood]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He also retained the sword fighting acumen and unarmed combat skills of his predecessors, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Road to Hell (comic story)|The Road to Hell]]'') being able to swordfight {{Fallen}} across the [[omniverse]] at equal strength, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Glorious Dead (comic story)|The Glorious Dead]]'') overpower [[Destrii]] with [[venusian aikido]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Oblivion (comic story)|Oblivion]]'') and knock out [[North]] with a single jab to the face. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Flood (comic story)|The Flood]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He also turned [[Andrelina Hastoff]]'s minions against each other with a few choice words. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Autonomy Bug]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Like his predecessor's manipulative streak, the Eighth Doctor could convince others to follow his train of thought,{{Fact}} but substituted his old self's planning and foreword thinking with his great improvisation skills. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game]]'')
| |
|
| |
| As devious as his predecessor, the Doctor possessed the cunning to lead his foes into a battlefield of his choosing,{{Fact}} tricking the [[Threshold]] into lowering their guard by letting them think he had regenerated by switching places with [[Shayde]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Wormwood (comic story)|Wormwood]]'') and stalling his execution by the [[Ophidian]]s so a [[servicer drone]] he had left in the [[anti-gravity regulator]] could disable their ship, allowing him to escape. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Ophidius (comic story)|Ophidius]]'')
| |
|
| |
| When subjected to a [[mind probe]], the Doctor could use the procedure to read his interrogator's thoughts and memories. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game]]'', ''[[The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack (comic story)|The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack]]'')

| == Psychological profile: PROSE ==
| |
| === Personality ===
| |
| The Eighth Doctor was an enthusiastic figure who explored the universe for the sheer love of it, {{source}} being a passionate, direct, sympathetic and emotionally accessible individual, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Vampire Science]]'') but these traits were balanced by his occasional feelings of self-doubt and weariness of his endless battles against evil and the ramifications of his travels in time, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Longest Day (novel)|Longest Day]]'', ''[[Legacy of the Daleks (novel)|Legacy of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Interference - Book Two (novel)|Interference: The Hour of the Geek]]'') with the Doctor commenting to [[Fitz Kreiner]] that his travels had made him "appreciate the beauty and delicate sadness of the interconnectedness of all things." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dominion (novel)|Dominion]]'') He "consider[ed] [himself] primarily a citizen of the galaxy", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Vanderdeken's Children (novel)|Vanderdeken's Children]]'') and believed that "nothing [was] alien" to a "citizen of the universe". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Not wanting to be "burdened by [his] past", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Vampire Science]]'') the Doctor would always make an attempt to save a life if he could, even risking the [[Web of Time]] by warning his [[seventh incarnation]] about avoiding the events that would lead to his [[regeneration]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'') He felt guilt when reflecting on the lives he had been forced to take. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Revolution Man (novel)|Revolution Man]]'')
| |
|
| |
| [[File:EightGraceKiss.jpg|thumb|The Doctor kisses [[Grace Holloway|Grace]] goodbye. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')]]
| |
| Due to his regeneration "[shaking] up his molecules so comprehensively that certain aspects of his character had come to the fore that had previously been buried so deeply within him they had seemed virtually nonexistent", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Bodysnatchers (novel)|The Bodysnatchers]]'') the Eight Doctor was a romantic at heart, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') though he thought it an "unpleasant problem" to fall in love with humans. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Legacy of the Daleks (novel)|Legacy of the Daleks]]'') It was during his eighth incarnation that the Doctor began feeling a desire for romance — "the excitement of being close to someone, the need to exchange ideas on a more personal level, to be able to tell someone what you really believe". However, he told [[I.M. Foreman]] it would be unfair to get sexually involved with his companions. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book Two (novel)|Interference: The Hour of the Geek]]'')
| |
|
| |
| For a time, Sam had a [[crush]] on the Doctor, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Longest Day (novel)|Longest Day]]'', ''[[Dreamstone Moon (novel)|Dreamstone Moon]]'', ''[[Seeing I (novel)|Seeing I]]'') something that he was aware of. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Placebo Effect (novel)|Placebo Effect]]'') [[Alan Turing]] likewise developed feelings for the Doctor, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Turing Test (novel)|The Turing Test]]'') who would later recall being "more than friends" with Turing. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Domino Effect (novel)|The Domino Effect]]'') During his time in [[1951]], the Doctor became to desire of [[Penny (Endgame)|Penny]], a [[waitress]] at the [[Café des Artistes]], with [[spy]] [[Guy Burgess]] also eying him up. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Endgame (novel)|Endgame]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Eighth Doctor was full of spirit and the joy of life, and showcased, on multiple occasions, his love for humanity, especially admiring how they saw dangers that weren't there, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') but was aware that some were "barbarians". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dreamstone Moon (novel)|Dreamstone Moon]]'') Despite his enthusiasms, the Doctor hated "long godbyes", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Bodysnatchers (novel)|The Bodysnatchers]]'') could be deeply unnerved when imprisoned, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Seeing I (novel)|Seeing I]]'', ''[[Interference - Book Two (novel)|Interference: The Hour of the Geek]]'')
| |
| loathed pastel colour schemes, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dominion (novel)|Dominion]]'') commercial airplanes, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Unnatural History]]'') getting pins and needles, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Taking of Planet 5]]'') and [[rat]]s, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Banquo Legacy (novel)|The Banquo Legacy]]'') and had a fear of heights, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') hospitals, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kursaal (novel)|Kursaal]]'', ''[[The Ancestor Cell (novel)|The Ancestor Cell]]'') and [[spider]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He was also something of a thrill-seeker, hitting the [[fire alarm]] of the [[Institute for Technological Advancement and Research|ITAR]] simply to "liven things up" during his and Grace's escape, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') and once indulged in multiple adventures simultaneously for the sheer fun of it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Wickerwork Man (short story)|The Wickerwork Man]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Although full of spirit and humanity, the Eighth Doctor did have a dark side within him, especially when the forces of evil tried to unbalance laws of the universe, but he still had his mercy during these outbursts, offering to save {{Roberts}} from the [[Eye of Harmony]], even after he attacked him for killing Grace and Lee. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') He spoke in an icy and disrespectful tone when confronting [[Niroc]] about the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s trial, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'') and tried to strangle [[Qixotl]] in retaliation for past betrayals. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Like his previous incarnations, the Eighth Doctor was insistent on solving solutions in a peaceful manner, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Revolution Man (novel)|Revolution Man]]'') but knew that that would not be an option all the time, and was not above resulting to violence when needed. He killed a pair of vampires, commentating on how melodramatic it was, aware that he couldn't try anything less fatal due to the vampires' strength and healing abilities. However, [[Romana II|Romana]] noted the regret in his eyes, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors]]'') and the Doctor later remarked that he killed them due to "[not] [knowing] [himself] well enough at the time" to know different. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Vampire Science]]'') He later talked [[Anton la Serre]] into death for his part in the deaths on the [[Dreamstone Moon]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dreamstone Moon (novel)|Dreamstone Moon]]'') and killed [[Ed Hill]] with a gun to prevent the imminent destruction of the Earth, and in part to save [[Fitz Kreiner]] from having to bear the responsibility of killing him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Revolution Man (novel)|Revolution Man]]'') When his memories were gone, he pushed murderer [[Roger Nepath]] to his death without remorse, even though Nepath was pleading for his life, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Burning]]'') allowed a guard to be shot in his place, telepathically convinced his interrogator's heart to stop beating, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Father Time (novel)|Father Time]]'') and killed [[Hilary Pink]] to save him from possession. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eater of Wasps]]'')
| |
|
| |
| As a coping mechanism,{{Fact}} the Doctor would react to threats of death and torture with dark humour; mocking {{Roberts}}'s affection for [[Chang Lee]] while he was strapped to a gurney. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor didn't have a "faith", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Placebo Effect (novel)|Placebo Effect]]'') claimed not to understand the idea of gloating, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[History 101]]'') and insisted he was psychologically incapable of experiencing survivor's guilt. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor was a fan of [[Marvel Comics]]' ''[[X-Men]]'', ''[[Transformers]]'', and [[model train set]]s, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'', ''[[The Taking of Planet 5]]'', ''[[The City of the Dead (novel)|The City of the Dead]]'') but disliked ''[[Babylon 5]]''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Escape Velocity]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He enjoyed reading Victorian literature, such as ''[[The Time Machine]]'', ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') [[Sherlock Holmes]] novels, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Bodysnatchers (novel)|The Bodysnatchers]]'') [[The Strand (magazine)|''The Strand'' magazine]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Genocide (novel)|Genocide]]'') and ''[[The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]]''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Option Lock (novel)|Option Lock]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He also didn't believe in [[ghost]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') thought that "pride and stupidity [were] indistinguishable", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Bodysnatchers (novel)|The Bodysnatchers]]'') and hated being "cooped up in one place for so long", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Unnatural History (novel)|Unnatural History]]'') such as when being locked up. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[EarthWorld (novel)|EarthWorld]]'') His lucky stars were a couple of red dwarves in [[Pavo]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[To the Slaughter]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He claimed that late [[19th century]] [[England]] was "quite [his] favourite time and place". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Banquo Legacy (novel)|The Banquo Legacy]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He had a liking for the [[opera]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Vampire Science]]'', ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Longest Day (novel)|Longest Day]]'', ''[[The Janus Conjunction]]'', ''[[Demontage (novel)|Demontage]]'', ''[[Coldheart (novel)|Coldheart]]''; [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He liked [[bacon]] [[sandwich]]s, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors]]'') [[turkish delight]]s, petting [[cat]]s, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Vampire Science]]'') [[Darjeeling tea]], dry-roasted [[gumblejack]] fritters, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Bodysnatchers (novel)|The Bodysnatchers]]'') [[chocolate]]s with soft centres, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Beltempest (novel)|Beltempest]]'') [[pig]]s, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dominion (novel)|Dominion]]'') [[ice cream]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Unnatural History (novel)|Unnatural History]]'') [[train]]s, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Endgame (novel)|Endgame]]'') and [[Butterfly|butterflies]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eater of Wasps (novel)|Eater of Wasps]]'') By his own admission, the Doctor had a "pink bunny slipper fetish". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Grimm Reality (novel)|Grimm Reality]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor "wouldn't have minded being a bus conductor", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'') and, when looking up at the sky, saw rocket trails and animal shapes in the clouds. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Frontier Worlds (novel)|Frontier Worlds]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor preferred tea to coffee, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dominion (novel)|Dominion]]'') specifically "hot, sweet tea", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Deadstone Memorial (novel)|The Deadstone Memorial]]'') with lemon tea being his preference. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Casualties of War]]'') He also liked to have his tea with milk and two sugars. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Thinking Warrior (short story)|Thinking Warrior]]'') He also enjoyed drinking [[ginger beer]] and [[lemonade]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Blue Angel (novel)|The Blue Angel]]'', ''[[Parallel 59 (novel)|Parallel 59]]'') but disliked [[tizer]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ancestor Cell (novel)|The Ancestor Cell]]'')
| |
|
| |
| In contrast to his scheming predecessor, the Eighth Doctor could not stay on one train of thought for more than a few seconds, getting distracted by the comfort of his new shoes when recalling his childhood, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') forgetting to collect [[Sam Jones]] from a Greenpeace rally for some years, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Vampire Science (novel)|Vampire Science]]'') reading books too fast to realise what he was reading, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'') going days without eating due to his forgetfulness, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Camera Obscura (novel)|Camera Obscura]]'') and could easily begin rambling when in conversation. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Face-Eater (novel)|The Face-Eater]]'') He also bored of things easily, making an omelette for [[Anji Kapoor]], but proclaimed to be bored with cooking before he could make another for anyone else. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timeless (novel)|Timeless]]'') Sam theorised that the Doctor took on companions because he "couldn't think in a straight line without [them]", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Unnatural History (novel)|Unnatural History]]'') but he was able to sound decisive when the need called for it, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors]]'') and both aware and annoyed that he "[kept] missing the important bits". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Placebo Effect (novel)|Placebo Effect]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He would also naïvely say and do things without taking the situation in, such as unironically telling Detective Inspector [[Foster (The Eight Doctors)|Foster]] he was a [[Time Lord]] while being interrogated for drug ownership, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors]]'') and stopping to oink at pigs in the company of Inspector [[Bengt Nordenstam]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dominion (novel)|Dominion]]'')
| |
|
| |
| In touch with his feminine side, the Doctor was often called a "ponce," ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Turing Test (novel)|The Turing Test]]'') or a "poof" on one occasion, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timeless (novel)|Timeless]]'') and had a maternal urge to see to it that everyone around him was well-fed, even carrying food around in his pockets to give to his companions on a moment's notice. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Year of Intelligent Tigers (novel)|The Year of Intelligent Tigers]]'') He often got teary-eyed around [[Miranda Dawkins]], his adopted daughter. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Father Time (novel)|Father Time]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor's mental health was somewhat questionable; while he usually acted like an eccentric gentleman, he also had moments of certifiable insanity, with him describing himself as an "ethnomethodologist", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'') and [[Compassion]] noting that he was "prone to flights of fancy". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Frontier Worlds (novel)|Frontier Worlds]]'') While he dismissed [[Julya]]'s question of his madness as him being "very, very clever", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Janus Conjunction (novel)|The Janus Conjunction]]'') he believed he "must be insane" when asked by [[Anji Kapoor]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eater of Wasps]]'') and [[Fitz Kreiner]] worried that the Doctor was aware of his breakdowns, just unconcerned by them. Both the Doctor and Fitz shared a worrying moment when they realised the Doctor seemed to be "unbalanced" to the point of [[schizophrenia]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Slow Empire]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He would avoid stealing if he thought it would cause more trouble than it would solve. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dominion (novel)|Dominion]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor had "intrinsic faith" in his friends, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Blue Angel (novel)|The Blue Angel]]'') and took their well being as his primary concern. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Perceptions (comic story)|Perceptions]]'') Not wanting to repeat the mistakes of the [[Seventh Doctor]], the Eighth Doctor did not order his companions around. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book Two (novel)|Interference: The Hour of the Geek]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor believed the Daleks "[had] no interest in anything but conquest and war," with "art, decoration, poetry, music all [being] irrelevant to them." He also had no qualms with killing them with high frequency shock waves. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Eighth Doctor remembered his [[first incarnation]] as a "fierce old man", his [[second incarnation]] as a "gentle little fellow who had sacrificed his own freedom so that others might be free", his [[third incarnation]] as an "elegant dandy struggling bitterly against the chains of his exile but unable to resist defending the planet that had become his prison", and his [[fourth incarnation]] as a "casual bohemian" who "dared to take on the evil that stalk[ed] the dark". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'') Despite this, he did not enjoy the idea of seeing his fourth incarnation when [[George Litefoot]] brought it up. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Bodysnatchers (novel)|The Bodysnatchers]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He viewed his [[seventh incarnation]] as "terrible old duffer who wouldn't tell [anyone] what was going on, would shout [at] [someone] as soon as look at [them], would expect [his companions] to be quiet and do what [he] said, and be there to untie [him] in cellars and scream out when [they] saw danger heading [their] way". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'')
| |
|
| |
| [[Jacob Hynes]] believed that, "despite his weird nineteenth-century costume, [the Doctor] had the air of a man from the [[Golden Age]]". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Genocide (novel)|Genocide]]'') Upon staring into the Doctor's eyes, [[Daniel O'Ryan]] saw "the alienness of [the] so often warm and human-seeming [Doctor]." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dreamstone Moon (novel)|Dreamstone Moon]]'') [[Sam Jones]] described the Doctor as a "hero" who "never does anything wrong". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Revolution Man (novel)|Revolution Man]]'') A [[Kulan]] assumed the Doctor to be "some sort of congenital idiot". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Escape Velocity (novel)|Escape Velocity]]'') When he had a [[tarot]] card reading, the Eighth Doctor was identified as "the Magician". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The City of the Dead (novel)|The City of the Dead]]'')

| By his own admittance, the Eighth Doctor "mustn't" think about death. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Longest Day (novel)|Longest Day]]'') When he though he felt a [[regeneration]] coming, he likened the feeling to " a caterpillar wrapping itself in a chrysalis". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Fear Itself (novel)|Fear Itself]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Though it was thought{{who}} that he was trying to distract himself from its sudden loss, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Coldheart (novel)|Coldheart]]'') the Doctor allowed himself to become a darker and angrier person with the loss of his TARDIS in the dimensional barrier between [[Earth]] and [[Avalon (The Shadows of Avalon)|Avalon]], and his then reliance on [[Compassion]] as a means of travel, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Shadows of Avalon]]'') with Fitz noting the Doctor's tendency to throw himself into others' problems to avoid facing his own. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Space Age]]'')
| |
|
| |
| During his time stranded on Earth, the Doctor fell into a deep state of [[depression]] due to his failure to get off the planet, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Endgame (novel)|Endgame]]'') and often dreamt of his TARDIS, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Father Time (novel)|Father Time]]'') though he reacted with terror when offered the chance to have his memories restored. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Endgame (novel)|Endgame]]'') Throughout his time on Earth, the Doctor was unable to feel "at home", knowing that he didn't belong on the planet. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Fear Itself (novel)|Fear Itself]]'') Once he adopted [[Miranda Dawkins]], he decided to improve his situation in order to be able to provide for her, such as working as a business consultant and taking up beekeeping. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Father Time (novel)|Father Time]]'') The Doctor would later realise his behaviour during this period of his life was similar to the symptoms of [[Albrecht's Ennui]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the Still (novel)|The Book of the Still]]'') and would come to look back on his time stranded with fondness. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Deadstone Memorial (novel)|The Deadstone Memorial]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Following Gallifrey's destruction, the Doctor felt he no longer had the right to interfere in the affairs of the Universe due to him no longer having the authority of a Time Lord. Seeing it as the only way for him to continue righting wrongs, the Doctor decided to become "Earth's Champion" and planned to marry [[Juliette Vierge]] in a symbolic ceremony in which he would root himself on Earth, until Juliette was lured away by [[Sabbath]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'')
| |
|
| |
| After the loss of his second heart, he became an even more darker, though more humane person. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Hope (novel)|Hope]]'', ''[[Anachrophobia]]'', ''[[History 101]]'') He felt weaker on his feet, worried about his lifespan shortening, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Hope (novel)|Hope]]'') felt greater frailty, had chest pains when in close proximity to his severed heart, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Anachrophobia]]'') and panic attacks brought on by the single pulse in his body, but the Doctor felt that the "hollow absence" was the worst of the side effects. Though his second heart was returned, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Camera Obscura]]'') Fitz noticed that its long absence had left a change in the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Reckless Engineering (novel)|Reckless Engineering]]'')
| |
|
| |
| After the death of his adopted daughter, [[Miranda Dawkins]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sometime Never...]]'') the Doctor became angry at anything that reminded him of her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Halflife]]'')
| |

| Like his predecessor's manipulative streak, the Eighth Doctor could convince others to follow his train of thought, such as convincing the [[Celestis]] that [[The Relic (Alien Bodies)|the Relic]] was a temporal paradox, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'') and haggling for a lower price of a dying [[begonia]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Taint (novel)|The Taint]]'') He was also still skilled at [[chess]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Father Time (novel)|Father Time]]'') but substituted his old self's planning and foreword thinking with his great improvisation skills. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]'', ''[[Vampire Science]]'', ''[[Legacy of the Daleks]]'')
| |
|
| |
| While initially he couldn't dance, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eater of Wasps (novel)|Eater of Wasps]]'') the Doctor was fast and strong enough to break a man's ribs before he could react with a few punches, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Endgame (novel)|Endgame]]'') and could use a gun to shoot his opponents' bullets out of the air. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Grimm Reality (novel)|Grimm Reality]]'') He later learnt to dance. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the Still (novel)|The Book of the Still]]'')

| == Psychological profile: AUDIO ==
| |
| === Personality ===
| |
| The Eighth Doctor was an enthusiastic figure who explored the universe for the sheer love of it, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Silver Turk (audio story)|The Silver Turk]]'') being a passionate, direct, sympathetic and emotionally accessible individual,{{source}} but these traits were balanced by his occasional feelings of self-doubt and weariness of his endless battles against evil. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Scherzo (audio story)|Scherzo]]'', ''[[To the Death (audio story)|To the Death]]'')
| |
|
| |
| [[File:EightGraceKiss.jpg|thumb|The Doctor kisses [[Grace Holloway|Grace]] goodbye. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')]]

| |
| While he thought it would be unfair to get sexually involved with his companions,{{source}} the Doctor proclaimed his loved for [[Charlotte Pollard]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Neverland (audio story)|Neverland]]'') but when she tried to broach the subject, he claimed that it was merely an urge brought on by his belief that she was about to die.

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Scherzo (audio story)|Scherzo]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Eighth Doctor was full of spirit and the joy of life, and showcased, on multiple occasions, his love for humanity, especially admiring how they saw dangers that weren't there. Despite his enthusiasms, the Doctor had a fear of heights, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') and his TARDIS being shattered into a million shards. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Faith Stealer (audio story)|Faith Stealer]]'') His strong spirit left him unable to surrender against the odds. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Neverland (audio story)|Neverland]]'')
| |
|
| |
| He was also something of a thrill-seeker, hitting the [[fire alarm]] of the [[Institute for Technological Advancement and Research|ITAR]] simply to "liven things up" during his and Grace's escape. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Although full of spirit and humanity, the Eighth Doctor did have a dark side within him, especially when the forces of evil tried to unbalance laws of the universe, but he still had his mercy during these outbursts, offering to save {{Roberts}} from the [[Eye of Harmony]], even after he attacked him for killing Grace and Lee. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')
| |
|
| |
| After Lucie's death, the Doctor took his frustration out on {{Garden}} for his part in the tragedy; refusing to forgive him, telling him the universe would be better without him and yelling at him to leave when his outburst reached its limit. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[To the Death (audio story)|To the Death]]'') He later felt frustration at {{Macqueen}} for leaving the [[Ramossan]]s to die at the hands of [[the Eminence]], hitting the TARDIS in frustration and trying to avert the creation of the Eminence despite the [[Laws of Time]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Reviled (audio story)|The Reviled]]'')

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Resurrection of Mars (audio story)|The Resurrection of Mars]]'')
| |

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Other Lives (audio story)|Other Lives]]'') He had a soft spot for [[penguin]]s, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Next Life (audio story)|The Next Life]]'') but disliked [[cat]]s so much that he removed one from the TARDIS on sight.

| |
|
| |
| In contrast to his scheming predecessor, the Eighth Doctor could not stay on one train of thought for more than a few seconds, getting distracted by the comfort of his new shoes when recalling his childhood, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') and often going into soliloquies without noticing. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Seasons of Fear (audio story)|Seasons of Fear]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor's mental health was somewhat questionable; while he usually acted like an eccentric gentleman, he also had moments of certifiable insanity.{{Fact}}
| |
|
| |
| The Eighth Doctor was willing to help anyone he came across regardless of his connection to them, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orbis (audio story)|Orbis]]'', ''[[Prisoner of the Sun]]'') and sacrifice himself for the sake of others, to the point that even his TARDIS began scolding him for it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'')
| |
|
| |
| In touch with his feminine side, the Doctor was often called a "ponce". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Blood of the Daleks (audio story)|Blood of the Daleks]]'')

|

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Zygon Who Fell to Earth (audio story)|The Zygon Who Fell to Earth]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Taking his friends well being as his primary concern, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Perceptions (comic story)|Perceptions]]'') the Doctor stole [[the Master's TARDIS]] to save [[Liv Chenka]] and [[Molly O'Sullivan]] from the [[Dalek Time Controller]] at a Dalek retreat on the [[Eye of Orion]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Eye of Darkness (audio story)|Eye of Darkness]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor still felt regret for giving [[Katarina]] hope after taking her away from her home, only for her to be killed shortly afterwards. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Last (audio story)|The Last]]'') He also regretted his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]]'s hesitation to avert the [[creation of the Daleks]], and was adamant not to repeat the mistake with [[Martez]]'s [[Mutant Dalek]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Blood of the Daleks (audio story)|Blood of the Daleks]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Viewing his predecessor's manipulative nature with disdain, the Doctor abandoned his scheming tendencies and vowed that he would never travel alone again as he did not want to forget how precious life was. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Resurrection of Mars (audio story)|The Resurrection of Mars]]'') However, after the deaths of his great-grandson, [[Alex Campbell]], and his companions, [[Tamsin Drew]] and [[Lucie Miller]], at the hands of the [[Dalek]]s, the Doctor decided to travel on his own to limit the deaths that came in his wake. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[To the Death (audio story)|To the Death]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Lucie's death left the Doctor in such a state that he went to the [[end of the universe]] just to see what would happen. However, he started having hope again after meeting [[Molly O'Sullivan]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Great War (audio story)|The Great War]]'') not wanting her killing herself to stop the Daleks plan because he didn't want to lose anyone else to the Daleks, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[X and the Daleks (audio story)|X and the Daleks]]'') though he did get annoyed when he found Molly squatting in his house. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The White Room (audio story)|The White Room]]'') Even after he had been joined by [[Liv Chenka]] in his travels, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Time's Horizon (audio story)|Time's Horizon]]'') the Doctor greatly missed Molly when [[Narvin]] forced them apart.

| |
|
| |

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Tangled Web (audio story)|Tangled Web]]'') However, when he thought that [[the Eminence]] was a greater threat to the universe, he decided to ally himself with the [[Dalek Time Controller]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Eyes of the Master (audio story)|Eyes of the Master]]'') After their alliance ended, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Time's Horizon (audio story)|Time's Horizon]]'') they resumed their animosity to each other, with the Doctor being particularly angry with the Time Controller's plans to make a New Dalek Paradigm from the artists of [[Montmartre]].

| |
| Towards the end of his life, the Doctor began to reminisce about his adventures with previous companions. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mary's Story (audio story)|Mary's Story]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor distastefully looked at his [[Seventh Doctor|immediate predecessor]] as being "a man with the master plan" working for the "greater good" under the belief of the ends justifying the means, unfavourably comparing him to [[the Monk]] in that regard. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Resurrection of Mars (audio story)|The Resurrection of Mars]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Charley referred to the Eighth Doctor as "an unbelievable, impossible, marvellous man."
