 <!--For the introduction brief, avoid using story links, as this paragraph is a reflection of how the Doctor lived their life, and thus covers a wider range than goes beyond a single story entry.-->
-Benefitting from the healing undergone by his [[Ninth Doctor|predecessor]], the '''Tenth Doctor''' possessed an outgoing, lively and genial demeanour that hid his [[Survivor's guilt|underlying guilt]], but it was still present and would appear if he was overwhelmed.
+The first of the "skinny man" iterations, the '''Tenth Doctor''' projected a convivial and frivolous front to conceal the inner fury and wistful melancholy that spawned from his underlying guilt of the [[Last Great Time War]] and the additional deaths and misery that followed in his wake. Indeed, once his easy-going attitude had been overwhelmed by conflict, the Doctor's energies would shift to reveal a fiercely protective man who resolutely guarded what he held dear, and who could be viciously unforgiving to the forces that dared menace them until he was victorious. However, he held deep respect for pacifism, and had zero tolerance towards anyone who wanted to engage in violence to resolve conflicts and disapproved of guns unless they were unquestionably a last resort. He also had vanity issues that made him attached to his current body, even finding a way to [[regenerate]] while keeping the same face after he was struck by the [[neutronic energy]] of [[Dalek (The Stolen Earth)|a Dalek]]'s [[gunstick]].
-For most of his life, this [[incarnation]] of '''[[the Doctor]]''' was able to successfully project a convivial and even frivolous front. However, when he had to engage in conflict, the Doctor's energies would shift to reveal a fiercely protective man who resolutely guarded what he held dear, and who could be viciously unforgiving to the forces that dared menace them.
+Starting out as a manic who was prone to speaking quickly in rambling tangents while peppering his speech with pop culture references, the Doctor resumed his travels with [[Rose Tyler]] after ending a [[Sycorax]] [[Sycorax invasion of Earth|invasion of Earth]], where he also deposed [[Prime Minister]] [[Harriet Jones]] when they disagreed on her destroying the retreating [[Sycorax ship]]. The Doctor and Rose's relationship veered more towards [[romance]] than before after they travelled to [[New Earth (New Earth)|New Earth]] and saved [[Queen]] [[Victoria]] from [[Lupine Wavelength Haemovariform|a werewolf]] at [[Torchwood House]]. However, a chance reunion with [[Sarah Jane Smith]] while undercover at [[Deffry Vale High School]] reminded him of his friends' mortality and, with [[Mickey Smith]] deciding to join him and Rose in the TARDIS, the Doctor entered a doomed romance with [[Madame de Pompadour]] that ended when she passed. Mickey would ultimately leave the TARDIS to stay on [[Pete's World|a parallel universe]] to help fight the [[Cybusman|Cybermen]] created by [[Cybus Industries]], leaving the Doctor and Rose to travel and face menaces such as [[the Wire]], [[The Beast (The Impossible Planet)|the Beast]] of [[Krop Tor]] and an [[Abzorbaloff]].
-He was unique in that he was the only incarnation of the Doctor who chose to abort [[Tenth Doctor's siphoned regeneration|one]] of his [[regeneration]]s, channelling the energy into his [[Tenth Doctor's hand|spare hand]] without changing his appearance, something his [[Eleventh Doctor|successor]] would attribute to suffering "[[vanity]] issues at the time".
+After sensing that "a storm [was] approaching" when they saved the [[2012 Olympics]] from the [[Isolus]], the Doctor and Rose, along with [[Jackie Tyler|Jackie]], were drawn to [[Torchwood One]] amid a ghost conspiracy that turned out to be an invasion by the Cybus Industries Cybermen that had followed a [[Void ship]] containing the [[Cult of Skaro]] through the [[multiverse]]. As Torchwood, the Cybermen and the [[Dalek]]s fought each other, the Doctor was able to banish the Daleks and the Cybermen to [[the Void]] after Torchwood fell, but Rose and Jackie were trapped on "[[Pete's World]]" as a consequence, where Jackie got together with [[Pete Tyler|her late husband's]] [[Peter Tyler (Pete's World)|counterpart]]. After finding a way to say goodbye to Rose, the Doctor was thrusted into a scheme by the [[Empress of the Racnoss (The Runaway Bride)|Empress of the Racnoss]] to infuse [[Donna Noble]] with [[Huon particles]] and release her children from the [[centre of the Earth]], which he managed to stop by drowning them.
-Many of his relationships with [[companion]]s were shaped, to one degree or another, by [[romance]]; he seemed to genuinely [[love]] his first companion, [[Rose Tyler]], as the person who helped heal some of the scars of the [[Time War]], was completely oblivious to [[Martha Jones]]' obvious [[crush|affections]] toward him, and insisted upon a platonic relationship with [[Donna Noble]]. The departure of each of these companions marked periods in his life where he would abstain from having companions at all, and on one occasion he even stopped having adventures or leaving [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]], with little more than a [[Rose-the-cat|cat]] for company.
+While still lamenting Rose, the Doctor invited [[Royal Hope Hospital]] medical student [[Martha Jones]] to join him for a single trip in the TARDIS after she helped him save the hospital from the [[Judoon]], taking her to meet [[William Shakespeare]] and foil a [[Carrionite]] plot, and then extended her trip to New Earth and then [[1930]] [[New York City]], where they stopped the Cult of Skaro from turning people into [[Human-Dalek]] hybrid and saw the Cult destroy itself, though [[Dalek Caan]] managed to escape. When the Doctor returned Martha home, they worked together to stop [[Richard Lazarus]]'s experiments with rejuvenation and the Doctor officially made Martha a companion, though he remained oblivious to her [[crush]] on him as they saved the [[SS Pentallian|SS ''Pentallian'']] from the [[Torajii]] [[sun]], stopped [[Baltazar]] from weaponising the ''[[Infinite (The Infinite Quest)|Infinite]]'' and hid from the [[Family of Blood]] in [[1913]] [[England]], where the Doctor turned himself into [[John Smith (Tenth Doctor)|a human]] with a [[Chameleon Arch]] and entered into a romance with [[Joan Redfern]] until the Family found him and he had to turn back, with Joan rebuffing him.
-When travelling without companions, the weight of being the last Time Lord became much more pronounced. If prodded too much, he would erupt in an often righteous sense of fury. Indeed, the Tenth Doctor was described by [[the Moment]] as "the man who regrets". The fact that he was instantly able to recall the number of [[Gallifreyan]] children that he believed were killed at the end the war indicated just how keenly he continually felt those horrendous memories.
+Sometime after escaping being banished to [[1969]] by the [[Weeping Angel]]s, the Doctor and Martha were forced to the [[end of the universe]] when Captain [[Jack Harkness]] latched onto the TARDIS, and they helped the last of humanity reach [[Utopia (Utopia)|Utopia]] to survive, only for the head of the [[Utopia Project]] to turn out to be the [[War Master]] hiding under a Chameleon Arch. After prodding from Martha caused him to open the Arch, the Master stole the TARDIS as he regenerated into the [[Saxon Master]], forcing the Doctor, Martha and Jack to follow him with Jack's [[vortex manipulator]], only to arrive after he had won the election and became Prime Minister, and initiated [[Toclafane invasion|his takeover of Earth]] with the [[Toclafane]] after capturing the Doctor and Jack, with Martha escaping to enact the Doctor's contingency plan for a year, allowing the Doctor to topple the Master's regime and revert time to [[The Year That Never Was|remove his rule from history]], though the Master was swiftly killed by [[Lucy Saxon|his abused wife]]. Jack decided to return to [[Torchwood Three]], and Martha, realising she had responsibilities at home, elected to leave the TARDIS, but not before telling the Doctor she had outgrown her crush on him.
-He met his eventual end after he absorbed a huge quantity of nuclear [[radiation]] whilst saving the life of Donna Noble's grandfather, [[Wilfred Mott]]. Delaying the process to visit all of his companions, the Doctor eventually [[Tenth Doctor's regeneration|regenerated]] in the TARDIS, causing a huge amount of damage due to delaying the regeneration for as long as he did, and leaving [[Eleventh Doctor|his successor]] crashing straight for [[Earth]].
+As he processed Martha's leaving, the Doctor had to separate his TARDIS from the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s TARDIS and then stop the spaceship ''[[Titanic (spaceship)|Titanic]]'' from crashing into [[Buckingham Palace]], though he lost a potential companion in [[waitress]] [[Astrid Peth]] when she gave her life to save him. The Doctor then adopted [[Rose (A Rose by Any Other Name)|Rose-the-Cat]] to help him finally overcome his depression on losing Rose, was saved from fluctuating timelines by the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], and ensured [[Hotel Historia]] manager [[Majenta Pryce]] was arrested for [[tax evasion]].
-The [[Thirteenth Doctor]] would later [[Thirteenth Doctor's regeneration|regenerate]] into [[Fourteenth Doctor|an incarnation]] who looked virtually identical to the Tenth Doctor, due to the Doctor's deteriorating mental state and subconscious need to take a break.
+While investigating [[Adipose Industries]], the Doctor was reunited with Donna, who asked to join him in the TARDIS, an offer he accepted on the terms that their relationship remained platonic. Together, they found themselves having to destroy [[Pompeii]] to stop the [[Pyrovile]]s taking over the world and freed the [[Ood]] of the [[Ood Sphere]] from enslavement. Upon being recruited by Martha for [[Operation Blue Sky]], in which he helped [[UNIT]] investigate the [[ATMOS]] factories, the Doctor was introduced to Donna's grandfather, [[Wilfred Mott]], as he saved the world from the [[Sontaran]]s' ATMOS plot. While bidding farewell to Martha, the TARDIS was suddenly drawn to [[Messaline]], where the Doctor's DNA was harvested to create [[Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter)|Jenny]], a new soldier for the [[Human-Hath War]], but the Doctor, Jenny, Martha and Donna were able to bring the war to a peaceful ceasefire, though Jenny appeared to perish. After dropping Martha back home, the Doctor and Donna continued their travels, such as solving a murder mystery with [[Agatha Christie]]. However, their carefree adventures grew darker after they answered a call from [[River Song]] to [[the Library]], where Donna lived a married life in the Library's data core and the Doctor was forced to watch River sacrifice her life to free the other people trapped in the data core after he negotiated a peace with the [[Vashta Nerada]]. A trip to [[Midnight (planet)|Midnight]] also ended in disaster when the Doctor was almost killed by paranoid humans bedevilled by [[Midnight entity|a mysterious entity]].
+After Donna was sent to [[Donna's World|a parallel world]] by the [[Trickster's Brigade]], the Doctor learnt that the universe was at risk when Donna told him Rose had helped her. With the Earth vanishing, the Doctor and Donna ventured into the [[Medusa Cascade]], where they found UNIT, [[Torchwood Three]] and the [[Bannerman Road gang]] repelling [[Planetary Relocation Incident|an invasion]] by the [[New Dalek Empire]], spearheaded by [[Davros]] and Dalek Caan. Joined by Rose and Jack, the Doctor narrowly avoided regenerating when a Dalek shot him by siphoning off the remaining energy into "instantaneous biological meta-crisis" that makes contact with Donna, growing [[Meta-Crisis Doctor|a new Doctor]] and giving Donna the mind of a Time Lord, allowing the two Doctors and Donna to cripple the New Dalek Empire, with the Meta-Crisis Doctor destroying it fully when pushed on by Caan. After exiling the Meta-Crisis Doctor to Pete's World to be with Rose, the Doctor wa forced to erase all trace of himself from Donna's memory to prevent her brain from burning up, and returned her home, only to find a message she had left in advance telling him to find a new companion, which he did in the form of [[Heather McCrimmon]] and [[Wolfie Ryter]], until they were forced to leave his company.
+Having sworn off travelling with companions, the Doctor was aided by [[Jackson Lake]] and [[Rosita Farisi]] in toppling the [[CyberKing]], saved the [[Royal Albert Hall]] from [[Graske (Music of the Spheres)|a Graske]], and was helped by Lady [[Christina de Souza]] in returning [[the 200]] [[bus]] to Earth from [[San Helios]], during which he was warned by the psychic [[Carmen (Planet of the Dead)|Carmen]] that his "[[regeneration|song [was] ending]]". Now aware that his time was short, the Doctor saved Sarah Jane from [[the Trickster]], helped Majenta reconcile with her past in the [[Crimson Hand]], and shared an adventure with [[Emily Winter]] and [[Matthew Finnegan]] after he saved them for their historical deaths, and then took a trip to [[Mars]], where he managed to prevent a [[fixed point in time]] by saving [[Adelaide Brooke]] from her death and proclaimed himself the [[Time Lord Victorious]], until Adelaide killing herself snaped him back to senses, causing him to begin the [[Kotturuh crisis]] by wiping out the [[Kotturuh]] in the [[Dark Times]].
+As he continued to avoid a summons to the Ood Sphere, the Doctor decided to take [[Gabby Gonzalez]] on as a companion, which resulted in him being caught in the lives of [[Cleopatra Hunsicker]], [[Dorothy Bell]] and [[Anubis]]. Gabby's friend [[Cindy Wu]] eventually joined them in the TARDIS, just as [[Sutekh]] and the [[Time Sentinel]]s enacted their endgames, resulting in the Doctor loosing Gabby when fell out of the TARDIS into the [[Time Vortex]]. The Doctor then spent some time traveling in the [[Pre-Time War universe]] with [[Anya Kingdom]] and [[Mark Seven]]. He also defeated the [[Viperox]] at [[Area 51]].
+When he decided to answer the Ood's call, the Doctor learnt that the Master had been resurrected, and bump into Wilf while trying to find him, with Wilf electing to help the Doctor after he was told of Carmen's prophecy. However, it quickly transpired that the Master was just a pawn in {{Dalton}}'s plan to destroy the universe to escape the Time War. Though the Doctor was able to send the Time Lords back into the war with the Master's aid, he decided to sacrifice himself to save Wilf from a radiation shield that was about to be flooded with radiation, absorbing a huge quantity of nuclear [[radiation]] into himself and starting his [[regeneration]]. However, he held back the process long enough to visit all of his companions, and finally regenerated in the TARDIS as the Ood "[sang him] to [his] sleep".
