Biography

A day to come

Alternate timeline

Psychological profile

Personality

With an carefree exterior, (PROSE: The Dying Days) the Doctor craved open spaces and natural things such as trees, grass, birds and animals. (PROSE: The Novel of the Film) Thriving on the activity of righting wrongs, (COMIC: Descendance) and safe guarding the future, (COMIC: Coda) the Doctor would always make an attempt to save a life if he could, believing that any life was worth saving. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

The Doctor kisses Grace goodbye. (TV: Doctor Who)

The Eight Doctor was a romantic at heart. (TV: 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) but also degraded them for "heading towards [an Ice Warrior] ship like moths to the flame." (PROSE: The Dying Days) So strong was his spirit that he was able to hold off a Cyber-conversion on a mental plane. (COMIC: Dreadnought)

He was also something of a thrill-seeker, hitting the fire alarm of the ITAR simply to "liven things up" during his and Grace's escape. (TV: Doctor Who)

Despite his enthusiasms, the Doctor claimed to have a fear of heights. (TV: 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 the Bruce Master from the Eye of Harmony, even after he attacked him for killing Grace and Lee. (TV: Doctor Who) Despite this, he warned Ice Lord Artix that he was "very dangerous when roused." (COMIC: Ascendance)

The Doctor reluctantly orchestrates an Ice Warrior's demise. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

Like his previous incarnations, the Eighth Doctor stood against wanton violence, (PROSE: The Novel of the Film) and was insistent on solving solutions in a peaceful manner, (PROSE: The Dying Days) but knew that that would not be an option all the time, and was not above resulting to violence when needed.

As a coping mechanism, the Doctor would react to threats of death and torture with dark humour; mocking the Bruce Master's affection for Chang Lee while he was strapped to a gurney, (TV: Doctor Who) and calling the Cybermen unimaginative during their attempt to convert him. (COMIC: 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. 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) and ran back into Adisham to save its residence from the Red Death. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

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)

The Doctor enjoyed jally babies. (TV: Doctor Who)

He was not against theft if he saw it in his power to return what he stole. (PROSE: The Novel of the Film)

Taking his friends well being as his primary concern, (COMIC: Perceptions) the Doctor almost gave the TARDIS to the Cybermen to protect Stacy Townsend. (COMIC: Dreadnought)

Unafraid to die due to having "died many times before", the Doctor could think of no better epitaph than to have inspired others to hold back death and go forward in all their beliefs. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

Habits and quirks

The Eighth Doctor made a habit of randomly kissing or getting kissed by others, such as with Grace Holloway, (TV: Doctor Who) and Bernice Summerfield. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

Like his fourth incarnation, the Eighth Doctor could be pedantic at times, focusing on a minor annoyance when under a greater threat, (TV: Doctor Who) or making a quip in the face of danger. (TV: Doctor Who; PROSE: The Dying Days)

He would often lean towards making a sarcastic quip. (COMIC: Descendance; PROSE: The Dying Days)

Like his first incarnation, the Eight Doctor was known to grasp the lapels of his frockcoats. (COMIC: Ascendance, Coda; PROSE: The Dying Days)

Skills

The Eighth Doctor had a talent in pick-pocketing. (TV: Doctor Who)

The Doctor showed great proficiency at commandeering transport, being able to drive a police motorcycle. (TV: Doctor Who)

Like his predecessor's manipulative streak, the Eighth Doctor could convince others to follow his train of thought, but substituted his old self's planning and foreword thinking with his great improvisation skills, with the Doctor able to asses a situation and calculate a way around it with relative ease. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

While he was not a manipulator, the Doctor possessed the cunning to lead his foes into a battlefield of his choosing. (COMIC: Dreadnought)

He made cocoa for Bernice and the Brigadier. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

Being a Time Lord, the Doctor could will his respiration, heartbeat, brain activity, lindal gland, and reflex response systems to shut down, though he would require a few days to fully recover to full strength afterwards. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

Psychological profile: TV

Personality

As a coping mechanism, the Doctor would react to threats of death and torture with dark humour; brashly listing hobbies he could indulge in while dying after Ohila informed him he had four minutes left to live. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)

The Doctor's mental health was somewhat questionable; while he usually acted like an eccentric gentleman, he also had moments of certifiable insanity.

The Eighth Doctor explodes with anger as he prepares to regenerate into the antithesis of his moral code. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)

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 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. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)

Habits and quirks

He would raise his voice when scared, excited, stressed, or angered. (TV: Doctor Who, The Night of the Doctor)

Psychological profile: COMICS

Personality

The Eighth Doctor was an enthusiastic figure who explored the universe for the sheer experience of it, (COMIC: By Hook or By Crook) being a direct, sympathetic and emotionally accessible individual, (COMIC: Beautiful Freak) but these traits were balanced by his occasional feelings of self-doubt and weariness of his endless battles to maintain order. (COMIC: Where Nobody Knows Your Name) Believing it to be his job, (COMIC: The Road to Hell) the Doctor would try to save any life he could, even the life of his Imagineum doppelganger. (COMIC: Endgame) He loved solving mysteries. (COMIC: The Fallen)

The Doctor prided himself on "being able to find a quick fix, [and] an easy solution to any problem", and would fall into despair when he couldn't help someone. (COMIC: The Way of All Flesh)

The Eight Doctor was a romantic at heart. (TV: Doctor Who)

(COMIC: Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game) So strong was his spirit, that he could make his body scream while his soul was in the psionic plane. (COMIC: Bad Blood)

Despite his enthusiasms, the Doctor had a fear of heights, (TV: Doctor Who) and acknowledged that he was corruptible when he realised how much he wanted the Glory. (COMIC: The Glorious Dead)

The Doctor vents his anger towards Destrii. (COMIC: Uroboros)

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 the Bruce Master from the Eye of Harmony, even after he attacked him for killing Grace and Lee. (TV: Doctor Who) He later gave the Master a particularly violent punch to the face while denying their similarities during their duel for the Glory, (COMIC: The Glorious Dead) became more abrupt and short-tempered after Izzy got kidnapped due to being in Destrii's body, (COMIC: Uroboros) and slaughtered an entire Cyber-Fleet with the power of the Time Vortex after they had angered him. (COMIC: The Flood)

Like his previous incarnations, the Eighth Doctor was insistent on solving solutions in a peaceful manner, (COMIC: Endgame) but knew that that would not be an option all the time, and was not above resulting to violence when needed, even attacking Kroton with lethal intend before he knew he was a sentient Cyberman, (COMIC: The Company of Thieves) and massacring some Torajenn during their attack on Coyoacan. (COMIC: The Way of All Flesh) He didn't complain when he though someone being attacked deserved the retribution, (COMIC: The Final Chapter) or hold any qualms about destroying a non-living entity. (COMIC: The Road to Hell)

As a coping mechanism, the Doctor would react to threats of death and torture with dark humour; mocking the Bruce Master's affection for Chang Lee while he was strapped to a gurney, (TV: Doctor Who) and getting sarcastically formal with the Dalek Supreme. (COMIC: Fire and Brimstone)

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. He was going to kamikaze a helicopter to destroy Donald Stark, (COMIC: The Fallen) and was willing to surrender his life so the Cybermen would copy his regenerative pattern and abandon their invasion of Earth. (COMIC: The Flood)

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) but he later confided in Grace that even he shouldn't meddle in the affairs of others. (COMIC: The Fallen)

The Doctor didn't believe in ghosts (TV: Doctor Who) or coincidences, (COMIC: Fire and Brimstone) tried to keep an open mind, considered eight to be his "lucky number", (COMIC: The Glorious Dead) and claimed to hold a distain for clairvoyants (COMIC: Uroboros) and an admiration for "enquiring mind[s]". (COMIC: The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack)

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) and almost ruining his cover story by pointing out the brilliance of his interrogator's deduction. (COMIC: 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.

He claimed apricot jam calmed him down, (COMIC: By Hook or By Crook) and also enjoyed walnut muffins, (COMIC: The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack) and lemonade. (COMIC: The Flood)

Taking his friends well being as his primary concern, (COMIC: Perceptions) the Doctor helped Izzy adjust to Destrii's body, (COMIC: 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)

Viewing them as were "the worst thing [one] [could] possibly imagine," the Doctor saw the Daleks as "cold, ruthless killers." (COMIC: 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)

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)

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) though he stopped this habit when Grace Holloway called him out on being cryptic about her future. (COMIC: The Fallen)

He would often utter, "my lives", when surprised, (COMIC: A Life of Matter and Death, Fire and Brimstone) and, "blazes", when annoyed or surprised.

(COMIC: The Glorious Dead, The Way of All Flesh, Uroboros)

He also had a tendency to repeat himself when he was trying to make a point, (TV: Doctor Who) reassure his friends, (COMIC: A Life of Matter and Death) rethinking his course of action, (COMIC: Fire and Brimstone) standing in defiance of an adversary, (COMIC: Tooth and Claw) reevaluating his current predicament, having an epiphany, (COMIC: The Final Chapter) in a state of panic, (COMIC: The Glorious Dead) in observation, (COMIC: Ophidius) or in a moment of excitement. (COMIC: Oblivion)

The Eighth Doctor made a habit of randomly kissing or getting kissed by others, such as with Grace Holloway, (TV: Doctor Who; COMIC: The Fallen) and Destrii. (COMIC: Uroboros, Sins of the Fathers)

He would raise his voice when excited, scared, upset, angered, (TV: Doctor Who) afraid, (COMIC: Fire and Brimstone) defiant, (COMIC: Tooth and Claw) in disagreement, (COMIC: Children of the Revolution) or giving a warning to a large crowd. (COMIC: The Flood)

Like his fourth incarnation, the Eighth Doctor could be pedantic at times, focusing on a minor detail when presented with a greater design, (TV: Doctor Who; COMIC: TV Action!, Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game, The Power of Thoueris!, Briarwood) or making puns in the face of danger. (COMIC: Endgame)

Like his first incarnation, the Eight Doctor was known to grasp the lapels of his frockcoats. (COMIC: Endgame, Wormwood, The Fallen)

(COMIC: Endgame, The Keep, Tooth and Claw, The Road to Hell, The Company of Thieves)

He would often lean towards making a witty remark, (COMIC: The Keep, Fire and Brimstone, By Hook or By Crook, Tooth and Claw, Wormwood, The Fallen, TV Action!, The Company of Thieves, The Glorious Dead, Ophidius, The Way of All Flesh, Children of the Revolution, Uroboros, Oblivion, Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game, The Power of Thoueris!, Bad Blood, The Flood) or a sarcastic comment. (COMIC: The Road to Hell, The Company of Thieves, The Flood)

Skills

The Eighth Doctor had a talent in pick-pocketing, (TV: Doctor Who; COMIC: The Company of Thieves, The Way of All Flesh, 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)

The Doctor showed great proficiency at commandeering transport, being able to drive a police motorcycle, (TV: Doctor Who) and singlehandedly pilot both a Lockheed F-40 Stealth Helicopter (COMIC: The Fallen) and a Mobox flyer, (COMIC: Uroboros) and commandeer a bus with identical ease. (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game) He could also ride a horse unaided. (COMIC: Bad Blood)

He also retained the sword fighting acumen and unarmed combat skills of his predecessors, (COMIC: The Road to Hell) being able to swordfight the Master across the omniverse at equal strength, (COMIC: The Glorious Dead) overpower Destrii with venusian aikido, (COMIC: Oblivion) and knock out North with a single jab to the face. (COMIC: 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, but substituted his old self's planning and foreword thinking with his great improvisation skills. (COMIC: 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, tricking the Threshold into lowering their guard by letting them think he had regenerated by switching places with Shayde, (COMIC: Wormwood) and stalling his execution by the Ophidians so a servicer drone he had left in the anti-gravity regulator could disable their ship, allowing him to escape. (COMIC: 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, 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, 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, Legacy of the Daleks, 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) He "consider[ed] [himself] primarily a citizen of the galaxy", (PROSE: Vanderdeken's Children) and believed that "nothing [was] alien" to a "citizen of the universe". (PROSE: 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) He felt guilt when reflecting on the lives he had been forced to take. (PROSE: Revolution Man)

The Doctor kisses Grace goodbye. (TV: 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) the Eight Doctor was a romantic at heart, (TV: Doctor Who) though he thought it an "unpleasant problem" to fall in love with humans. (PROSE: 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: The Hour of the Geek)

For a time, Sam had a crush on the Doctor, (PROSE: Longest Day, Dreamstone Moon, Seeing I) something that he was aware of. (PROSE: Placebo Effect) Alan Turing likewise developed feelings for the Doctor, (PROSE: The Turing Test) who would later recall being "more than friends" with Turing. (PROSE: The Domino Effect) During his time in 1951, the Doctor became to desire of Penny, a waitress at the Café des Artistes, with spy Guy Burgess also eying him up. (PROSE: 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) but was aware that some were "barbarians". (PROSE: Dreamstone Moon) Despite his enthusiasms, the Doctor hated "long godbyes", (PROSE: The Bodysnatchers) could be deeply unnerved when imprisoned, (PROSE: Seeing I, Interference: The Hour of the Geek) loathed pastel colour schemes, (PROSE: Dominion) commercial airplanes, (PROSE: Unnatural History) getting pins and needles, (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5) and rats, (PROSE: The Banquo Legacy) and had a fear of heights, (TV: Doctor Who) hospitals, (PROSE: Kursaal, The Ancestor Cell) and spiders. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)

He was also something of a thrill-seeker, hitting the fire alarm of the ITAR simply to "liven things up" during his and Grace's escape, (TV: Doctor Who) and once indulged in multiple adventures simultaneously for the sheer fun of it. (PROSE: 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 the Bruce Master from the Eye of Harmony, even after he attacked him for killing Grace and Lee. (TV: Doctor Who) He spoke in an icy and disrespectful tone when confronting Niroc about the Sixth Doctor's trial, (PROSE: The Eight Doctors) and tried to strangle Qixotl in retaliation for past betrayals. (PROSE: Alien Bodies)

Like his previous incarnations, the Eighth Doctor was insistent on solving solutions in a peaceful manner, (PROSE: 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 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) 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) 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) and killed Hilary Pink to save him from possession. (PROSE: Eater of Wasps)

As a coping mechanism, the Doctor would react to threats of death and torture with dark humour; mocking the Bruce Master's affection for Chang Lee while he was strapped to a gurney. (TV: Doctor Who)

The Doctor didn't have a "faith", (PROSE: 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)

The Doctor was a fan of Marvel Comics' X-Men, Transformers, and model train sets, (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress, The Taking of Planet 5, 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) Sherlock Holmes novels, (PROSE: The Bodysnatchers) The Strand magazine, (PROSE: Genocide) and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. (PROSE: Option Lock)

He also didn't believe in ghosts, (TV: Doctor Who) thought that "pride and stupidity [were] indistinguishable", (PROSE: The Bodysnatchers) and hated being "cooped up in one place for so long", (PROSE: Unnatural History) such as when being locked up. (PROSE: 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)

He had a liking for the opera. (PROSE: Vampire Science, War of the Daleks, Longest Day, The Janus Conjunction, Demontage, Coldheart; COMIC: The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack)

He liked bacon sandwichs, (PROSE: The Eight Doctors) turkish delights, petting cats, (PROSE: Vampire Science) Darjeeling tea, dry-roasted gumblejack fritters, (PROSE: The Bodysnatchers) chocolates with soft centres, (PROSE: Beltempest) pigs, (PROSE: Dominion) ice cream, (PROSE: Unnatural History) trains, (PROSE: Endgame) and butterflies. (PROSE: Eater of Wasps) By his own admission, the Doctor had a "pink bunny slipper fetish". (PROSE: Grimm Reality)

The Doctor "wouldn't have minded being a bus conductor", (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress) and, when looking up at the sky, saw rocket trails and animal shapes in the clouds. (PROSE: Frontier Worlds)

The Doctor preferred tea to coffee, (PROSE: Dominion) specifically "hot, sweet tea", (PROSE: 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) He also enjoyed drinking ginger beer and lemonade, (PROSE: The Blue Angel, Parallel 59) but disliked tizer. (PROSE: 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) forgetting to collect Sam Jones from a Greenpeace rally for some years, (PROSE: Vampire Science) reading books too fast to realise what he was reading, (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress) going days without eating due to his forgetfulness, (PROSE: Camera Obscura) and could easily begin rambling when in conversation. (PROSE: 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) Sam theorised that the Doctor took on companions because he "couldn't think in a straight line without [them]", (PROSE: 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)

He would also naïvely say and do things without taking the situation in, such as unironically telling Detective Inspector 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)

In touch with his feminine side, the Doctor was often called a "ponce," (PROSE: The Turing Test) or a "poof" on one occasion, (PROSE: 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) He often got teary-eyed around Miranda Dawkins, his adopted daughter. (PROSE: 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) and Compassion noting that he was "prone to flights of fancy". (PROSE: Frontier Worlds) While he dismissed Julya's question of his madness as him being "very, very clever", (PROSE: 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)

The Doctor had "intrinsic faith" in his friends, (PROSE: The Blue Angel) and took their well being as his primary concern. (COMIC: Perceptions) Not wanting to repeat the mistakes of the Seventh Doctor, the Eighth Doctor did not order his companions around. (PROSE: 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)

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) Despite this, he did not enjoy the idea of seeing his fourth incarnation when George Litefoot brought it up. (PROSE: 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)

Jacob Hynes believed that, "despite his weird nineteenth-century costume, [the Doctor] had the air of a man from the Golden Age". (PROSE: 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) Sam Jones described the Doctor as a "hero" who "never does anything wrong". (PROSE: Revolution Man) A Kulan assumed the Doctor to be "some sort of congenital idiot". (PROSE: Escape Velocity) When he had a tarot card reading, the Eighth Doctor was identified as "the Magician". (PROSE: The City of the Dead)

By his own admittance, the Eighth Doctor "mustn't" think about death. (PROSE: 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)

Though it was thought that he was trying to distract himself from its sudden loss, (PROSE: 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, 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) and often dreamt of his TARDIS, (PROSE: Father Time) though he reacted with terror when offered the chance to have his memories restored. (PROSE: 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) 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) 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) and would come to look back on his time stranded with fondness. (PROSE: 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, Anachrophobia, History 101) He felt weaker on his feet, worried about his lifespan shortening, (PROSE: 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)

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)

Habits and quirks

Because he was a Time Lord, (PROSE: The Queen of Eros) the Eighth Doctor occasional had "flashes" of people's future, (PROSE: Dominion, The Shadows of Avalon) and made a habit of giving people hints about their future, while not expressing outright the nature of that future. (TV: Doctor Who; PROSE: The Bodysnatchers, Timeless, Option Lock, Placebo Effect) He could also see into someone's past, at least in the case of Guy Adams. (PROSE: Timeless)

He also had a tendency to repeat himself when he was trying to make a point, (TV: Doctor Who) when he got excited, when questioning a situation, when annoyed, (PROSE: Vampire Science) when trying to get someone to avoid a course of action, (PROSE: Seeing I) when apologising, (PROSE: The Janus Conjunction) when amused, when trying to get someone to focus, (PROSE: The Taint) to help him recall a name, (PROSE: The Blue Angel) or when he was trying to agree with a statement. (PROSE: Escape Velocity)

He would often utter, "my lives", when surprised, and, "blazes", when annoyed or surprised. He was also known to say "good grief". (PROSE: War of the Daleks, Interference: Shock Tactic)

After his and Fitz Kreiner's minds had been temporarily jumbled together, causing them to develop some of each other's habits, the Doctor began to smoke cigarettes. (PROSE: Halflife)

The Eighth Doctor made a habit of randomly kissing or getting kissed by others, such as with Grace Holloway, (TV: Doctor Who) Sam Jones, (PROSE: Longest Day, Seeing I) Fitz Kreiner, (PROSE: Dominion) and the Master-Maid. (PROSE: Grimm Reality) He also kissed Anji Kapoor when she and him were possessed by the spirits of Hanstrum and Elizabethan. (PROSE: EarthWorld)

He would raise his voice when excited, scared, upset, angered, (TV: Doctor Who) and after he was interrupted. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5) When taking authority over someone, the Doctor's voice would turn "icy". (PROSE: The Eight Doctors)

He would often lean towards making a sarcastic quip. (PROSE: Vampire Science, War of the Daleks, Seeing I)

Like his first incarnation, the Eight Doctor was known to grasp the lapels of his frockcoats. (PROSE: Beltempest, Interference: Shock Tactic)

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)

He would sing or hum to himself when traveling to a location, or to simply relax himself. (PROSE: Vampire Science, The Bodysnatchers, Longest Day, The Scarlet Empress, The Janus Conjunction, The Fall of Yquatine, Coldheart)

Like his fourth incarnation, the Eighth Doctor could be pedantic at times, focusing on a minor detail when presented with a greater design, (PROSE: Dominion, The Taking of Planet 5) making puns in the face of danger, or cracking jokes that unnerved those around him. (PROSE: Seeing I, Parallel 59)

Also like the Fourth Doctor, the Eighth Doctor was known to clutter his pockets with random objects. (PROSE: The Dying Days, Alien Bodies, Kursaal, The Janus Conjunction, Coldheart)

He could be literal minded at times, (TV: Doctor Who) which others often mistook for humour, and would often explain or answer a rhetorical question asked to him. (PROSE: The Taint)

Skills

The Eighth Doctor had a talent in pick-pocketing, (TV: Doctor Who; PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks, The Scarlet Empress) transmigration, (PROSE: Vampire Science, The Bodysnatchers, Demontage, Frontier Worlds) lock picking, (PROSE: Unnatural History, The Crooked World) and hacking and code-breaking, (PROSE: Seeing I, Endgame) and could play the piano, (PROSE: Casualties of War) the violin, harpsichord, flute, transverse cello, harp, banjo, theremin, and wobbleboard, and, while he could play anything composed by somebody else, he was unable to improvise music. (PROSE: The Year of Intelligent Tigers) He could also sing opera. (PROSE: Vampire Science, The Scarlet Empress)

Possessing a liking for travel machines of all kinds, (PROSE: Eater of Wasps) the Doctor showed great proficiency at commandeering transport, being able to drive a police motorcycle (TV: Doctor Who) and a regular motorcycle, (PROSE: Revolution Man) drive a jeep, pilot an L5 plane, (PROSE: Autumn Mist) steal a space shuttle, (PROSE: Father Time) drive a motorbike with a sidecar, (PROSE: EarthWorld) drive a tractor, (PROSE: Eater of Wasps) and pilot a lifeboat. (PROSE: Rip Tide)

Like his previous incarnations, the eighth incarnation was both a highly proficient swordsman and skilled in the art of Venusian aikido, (PROSE: The Eight Doctors) even using it on instinct when an amnesiac. (PROSE: The Burning, Endgame, Grimm Reality, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, The Book of the Still, The Gallifrey Chronicles) He was also able to restrain Homunculette with his finger, (PROSE: Alien Bodies) and jump-kick an armoured guard through a broken window. (PROSE: Parallel 59)

He could read minds if he wanted to, (PROSE: The Book of the Still) being able to use post-hypnotic suggestion to calm Carolyn McConnell into sleeping, (PROSE: Vampire Science) render Rifaat unconscious with a touch, (PROSE: Seeing I) make telepathic contact with the Proximan group mind, (PROSE: The Face-Eater) and put Johann in a hypnotic trance, (PROSE: Dominion) but preferred to read expressions and body language to save time. (PROSE: The Book of the Still) Under "exceptional circumstances", the Doctor's brain could communicate via reduced-frequency alpha waves. (PROSE: The Janus Conjunction)

While he was not a manipulator, the Doctor possessed the cunning to lead his foes into a battlefield of his choosing. (COMIC: Dreadnought)

The Doctor was also an accomplished chef, cooking an English breakfast on board Iris Wildthyme' bus, (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress) stress-baking a Lady Baltimore cake with "very complicated icing", (PROSE: Camera Obscura) making a massive picnic for his friends, and holding several dinner parties in his flat on Hitchemus. (PROSE: The Year of Intelligent Tigers)

The Doctor could sing in Italian, and sing the Venusian lullaby, (PROSE: Vampire Science, Longest Day) speak Esperanto and Martian, (PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks, Father Time) and sign in the language of the Delphon. (PROSE: Beltempest)

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 was a temporal paradox, (PROSE: Alien Bodies) and haggling for a lower price of a dying begonia. (PROSE: The Taint) He was also still skilled at chess, (PROSE: Father Time) but substituted his old self's planning and foreword thinking with his great improvisation skills. (PROSE: The Dying Days, Vampire Science, Legacy of the Daleks)

While initially he couldn't dance, (PROSE: 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) and could use a gun to shoot his opponents' bullets out of the air. (PROSE: Grimm Reality) He later learnt to dance. (PROSE: The Book of the Still)

He could see in the dark better than humans, (TV: Vampire Science) do a "passable impression" of a UNIT soldier's voice, (PROSE: Dominion) could ride a horse and a dragon, (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon) had an eidetic memory, (PROSE: Father Time) could see a force shield that was invisible to human eyes, (PROSE: The Year of Intelligent Tigers) and perform dentistry. (PROSE: Grimm Reality)

The Doctor could tell the difference between human and Gallifreyan blood by smell, (PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks) detect subtle toxins, (PROSE: Vanderdeken's Children) and smell pollutants in Earth's atmosphere. (PROSE: Dominion)

He was stronger than the average human, (PROSE: Endgame) being able to punch his way out of a morgue, (TV: Doctor Who) knock out two Zygons barehanded with ease, (PROSE: The Bodysnatchers) throwing Axel out of a vehicle, (PROSE: Endgame) and lift a heavy lectern with ease. (PROSE: Sometime Never...) He once boasted the ability to "break a human in two". (PROSE: Demontage) He could also dress himself in record time. (PROSE: The Janus Conjunction, Unnatural History)

He was able to devise a cure for radiation sickness by studying the biology of a dead spider. (PROSE: The Janus Conjunction)

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) being a passionate, direct, sympathetic and emotionally accessible individual, but these traits were balanced by his occasional feelings of self-doubt and weariness of his endless battles against evil. (AUDIO: Scherzo, To the Death)

The Doctor kisses Grace goodbye. (TV: Doctor Who)

The Eight Doctor was a romantic at heart. (TV: Doctor Who) On one occasion, he was described by Daqar Keep as someone who used flattery to deceive. (AUDIO: The Next Life)

While he thought it would be unfair to get sexually involved with his companions, the Doctor proclaimed his loved for Charlotte Pollard, (AUDIO: 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. Although uncomfortable with Charley's "yearning" for him, the Doctor did later admit to loving her, but then told her that they couldn't pursue a romantic relationship, opting to remain friends instead. (AUDIO: 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) and his TARDIS being shattered into a million shards. (AUDIO: Faith Stealer) His strong spirit left him unable to surrender against the odds. (AUDIO: Neverland)

He was also something of a thrill-seeker, hitting the fire alarm of the ITAR simply to "liven things up" during his and Grace's escape. (TV: 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 the Bruce Master from the Eye of Harmony, even after he attacked him for killing Grace and Lee. (TV: Doctor Who)

After Lucie's death, the Doctor took his frustration out on the Monk 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) He later felt frustration at the Reborn Master for leaving the Ramossans 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)

As a coping mechanism, the Doctor would react to threats of death and torture with dark humour; mocking the Bruce Master's affection for Chang Lee while he was strapped to a gurney, (TV: Doctor Who) jesting with Eric Rawden until he could no longer stand the interrogation, (AUDIO: Something Inside) bitterly asking his torturers for some more pain, (AUDIO: Memory Lane) cracking jokes when aboard a crashing spaceship with the Reborn Master, (AUDIO: Masterplan) and brashly listing hobbies he could indulge in while dying after Ohila informed him he had four minutes left to live. (TV: The Night of the Doctor) His enemies believed he did so to "suppress his fear". (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars)

The Doctor didn't believe in ghosts, (TV: Doctor Who) or view himself as a family man. (AUDIO: Other Lives) He had a soft spot for penguins, (AUDIO: The Next Life) but disliked cats so much that he removed one from the TARDIS on sight. (AUDIO: Nevermore) Towards the end of his life, he began to think that everything happened for a reason. (AUDIO: The Traitor)

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) and often going into soliloquies without noticing. (AUDIO: 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.

The Eighth Doctor was willing to help anyone he came across regardless of his connection to them, (AUDIO: 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)

In touch with his feminine side, the Doctor was often called a "ponce". (AUDIO: Blood of the Daleks)

The Doctor enjoyed Winnie the Pooh, with his favourite character being Tigger, (AUDIO: Caerdroia) and claimed to love dinosaurs. (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars) He once drank wine with Baron Teufel, (AUDIO: The Beast of Orlok) and ordered gingerbread with hot chocolate at the Café Demel. (AUDIO: The Silver Turk)

Like his predecessors, he enjoyed jelly babies, (TV: Doctor Who) with his favourite being the red ones. (AUDIO: Scaredy Cat) He also liked custard, (AUDIO: The Chimes of Midnight) and rarely touched meat. (AUDIO: Seasons of Fear) He also got very excited about cotton candy and chunky monkey ice cream, (AUDIO: Terror Firma) and drank his tea with six sugars. (AUDIO: The Zygon Who Fell to Earth)

Taking his friends well being as his primary concern, (COMIC: 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)

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) He also regretted his fourth incarnation's hesitation to avert the creation of the Daleks, and was adamant not to repeat the mistake with Martez's Mutant Daleks. (AUDIO: 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) However, after the deaths of his great-grandson, Alex Campbell, and his companions, Tamsin Drew and Lucie Miller, at the hands of the Daleks, the Doctor decided to travel on his own to limit the deaths that came in his wake. (AUDIO: 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) 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) though he did get annoyed when he found Molly squatting in his house. (AUDIO: The White Room) Even after he had been joined by Liv Chenka in his travels, (AUDIO: Time's Horizon) the Doctor greatly missed Molly when Narvin forced them apart. (AUDIO: A Life in the Day)

His hatred of the Daleks escalated after they started to pursue him and Molly through time, (AUDIO: Fugitives) though he considered a war between the Daleks and the Time Lords to be a ridiculous thought. (AUDIO: 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) After their alliance ended, (AUDIO: 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. (AUDIO: The Monster of Montmartre)

Towards the end of his life, the Doctor began to reminisce about his adventures with previous companions. (AUDIO: Mary's Story)

The Doctor distastefully looked at his 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)

Charley referred to the Eighth Doctor as "an unbelievable, impossible, marvellous man." (AUDIO: The Fall of the House of Pollard) While Lucie originally took against him, describing him as a "patronising git," and a "spineless fish", (AUDIO: Blood of the Daleks, The Skull of Sobek) she claimed that the Eighth Doctor was "the best bloke [she'd] ever met" mere seconds before her death. (AUDIO: To the Death) The Doctor's first TARDIS described the Eighth Doctor as "the idealist". (AUDIO: Prisoners of Fate) While Iris Wildthyme called him a "dilettante fop", Jo Grant though the Eighth Doctor was "very dashing". (AUDIO: The Elixir of Doom)

The Doctor wished to die alone. (AUDIO: Scherzo)

Habits and quirks

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; AUDIO: Seasons of Fear)

The Doctor showed great proficiency at commandeering transport, being able to drive a police motorcycle, (TV: Doctor Who) and fly a plane with identical ease. (AUDIO: Fugitives)

The Doctor had a good memory, being able to remember all the Liverpool F.C. strikers and goals from 1964-1965 and 2013-2014, (AUDIO: The Next Life) as well as the inspirational fifth victory of European Cup by Liverpool's football club in 2005. (AUDIO: Something Inside)

The Doctor could will his hearts to stop. (AUDIO: Death in Blackpool)

The Doctor could deduce his location by studying his surroundings. (AUDIO: Mary's Story)
