Personality:

The doctor is a vast complexity of various levels of brilliance. Some call him mad, some call him genius. The reality is somewhere between the two of those descriptions. He’s a bipolar like personality with a tendency to fling into hyperactivity and over attentiveness. When he’s happy, it’s very visible on his face, with a massive child-like grin, when he’s not happy, he shy’s away from anyone’s attention. His inner turmoil is his alone to enjoy.

Most of the time, that simplistic child-like happy is the controlling drive. He wants to see, and do and experience everything (Within reason). Everything is fascinating and every situation has an optimistic silver lining, hope is one of the very few things the doctor rarely loses. There is good in everyone, according to the doctor, and no race ever deserves the blind extermination of its species, no matter the stigma attached to them (a few exceptions might include the Daleks).

Despite his hopeful, ever helpful upbeat tone, The doctor isn’t without his dark side. Well, that happy go lucky shell had to have a few cracks in it somewhere. His inner guilt and pain concerning the loss of his world and others of his kind is a very deep running injury, and he does not like talking about it. He can get very defensive if pushed on the subject. He also has that streak of insanity in him that isn’t quite as ‘fun’, and he can (Probably much to the master’s frustration) sympathise with Koschei’s condition. It would be all too easy for this helpful, brilliant mind to snap, and God help the universe if it ever does.

Lastly, he has a phobia. Hoplophobia. This is a fear of fire arms (guns).



Appearance:

His tenth regeneration is probably his favourite thus far. It’s the youngest of his embodiments so far, and it’s flipping lovely. His frame is tall, and very slim, elfin even. He’s long limbed and not at all broad in any part of his body. Lanky is also a fitting description. Saying this, his frame suits his face. He appears roughly in his late 20’s, early 30’s, Caucasian, and brunette. His hair is kept perpetually styled in a spiked Manga like shape, with side burns that come all the way down to the start of his jaw line. He’s doe eyed, and these chocolate brown assets dominate his face. It is fair to say the doctor is ‘pretty’ rather than handsome, due to his streamline and delicate features.

His teeth aren’t perfect, but they’re close. Dentist bleached white, naturally, and large, they’re not quite Hollywood straight, but that adds to the charm of his over-sized grin.

His choice of clothing is flattering, usually adorning himself in a brown or blue suit, but always pin stripped. He just likes the looks. He teams this smart looks with casual footwear, often colourful pairs of converses for comfort, and a long brown coat for when it’s not quite so warm. His choice of shoe is justifiable in the knowledge he does far too much running too and away from things.

His accessories include a pair of black rimmed, square reading glasses he uses to read things up close, or whether or not he actually needs them is a debatable subject. Less accessories and more mandatory objects, he’s often seen with both his sonic screwdriver and his psychic paper.

Family:

Had a wife and child once, both are now long dead. Then there's that business with his cloned daughter...Considers some of his companions to be as close as family. Rose Tyler was as close as it got. Donna and her family are also close to his heart.
No one, however, comes as close as the master does. He is the only other one left (that he currently knows about), a very old friend, and holds parts of Theta's hearts that he'd never give to another living being.



History:

Young Life.
Theta was born to a normal Gallifreyan family, had as normal a childhood as any Gallifreyan child could. Like all of his kind, his schooling started young. T’was in the Academy he’d refine who he was. Theta’s closest friend was one by the name Koschei, a child of his own age whom he shared studies with in the Academy. He and Koschei were close, closer than most other children were with each other. He trusted him with everything, always spoke to him. Koschei was Theta’s polar opposite, and he liked it that way. Whilst Theta offered the on-track approach to life, Koschei offered him adventure, and often chaos. He spent a lot of time getting his best friend out of fights, and trouble, two things he didn’t seem to be able to avoid. He never left him though, despite how much trouble he was. Part of him even enjoyed the thrill it brought, and the nobility it offered him to be Koschei’s constant saving grace. Only thing he couldn’t be his saving grace from was his home life. Not like he wanted to be anyway. He knew his friend’s father was brutal, and he knew it didn’t help Koschei’s rebellious streak.

As all were subjected too, at the age of 8, Theta gazed into the Untempered Schism, the rift in space and time. He was ahead of Koschei in the line, and despite wanting to appear to his friend as brave, he failed to do so. Theta didn’t stare long, before the fear and the pain forced him to turn and run, like most did. He didn’t see how Koschei’s turn went, he didn’t know about the drumming. What he did know was that his grades started to fall a little, and that meant bad things, and apparently accompanying migraines.

When Koschei started to stay at the academy during breaks, Theta chose to accompany him. He spent his breaks in the never ending company of the other, just lulling in the red grass, playing in the mountains of solace and solitude with his first and most important companion. If he had to be honest, it was love. On a level that nothing has never replaced. He and Koschei were, so he thought at the time, unbreakable. As they got a little older, their individual gifts started to manifest. Koschei’s and his own seemed to conflict one another. Whereas his friend would force his will on another being, Theta could break that trance. For these dsplayed reasons, They earned the titles ‘The Master’ and ‘The Doctor’.
He graduated the academy with full honours, with Koschei not far behind him (with his help).

Unfortunately, and a little heart breaking for Theta, their childhood connection did not transgress into the adult world. Although they remained very mentally connected, they parted ways for their own individual destinies. Although it would not be the last time the Doctor would see the master, not by a long shot.

The Time War

The Time lords operated their society on a strictly ‘no intervention’ policy concerning war and conflict, and protected the time vortex. However, this policy was not always as strictly followed as it should have been. The ‘Last’ great time war saw the time lords themselves at war with the Daleks of Skaro. The exact reason to this conflict is unclear, but it has been suggested the reason behind it was a foreseeable account of the dalek’s attempting to control the universe, and an avert attempt was made to stop this from ever happening.

The result of this war was the ultimate destruction of both side’s planets, and Gallifrey was lost.

The person responsible for ending both the war, and his own planet, is the doctor. He describes the planet as having ‘burned’ like a far distant earth, and it burned both the time lords and the Daleks with it. The Doctor is therefore, so he considers as others do, responsible for the death of his own kind, an occurrence he calls ‘The moment’, and which is now time locked and cannot be undone. He survived, for a long time thinking himself the only one, escaping his in TARDIS.

Role Play Sample:

He’d never lost hope. A whole year of enduring the humiliation and degradation of the masters twisted sense of humour and he’d never broken, never fell into despair like the other wanted him too. Every time he noted the disappointment in the other Time Lords eyes felt like a victory, every time the other told him it was over, it had been a year and there was no hope left. That he was the master, and that was all there was too it. If he gave in, if he joined him in some underdog manner, he’d give him his youth back. Perhaps the master offered that purely because he knew the doctor would never accept, so there was no risk involved. No chance of his Theta sigma foiling this plan. He’d finally won.

The Doctor knew better. As much as he’d like his youth back, his able bodied-ness, he’d never sacrifice his own dignity and self-worth for it. If he had any dignity left, that was. Being kept in a dog house in the control room, where his food was served in a dog bowel on the floor as and when the master felt he should eat (If he’d earned it) meant he had little of it left, but that was all the masters doing, none of his own. He prided himself on that. He’d been lowered but he hadn’t lowered himself.

Today wasn’t like every other day aboard the valiant though. Today wasn’t more aches and pains from the aging, or more psychical abuse from the master if he didn’t do something fast enough. Obviously that had lost its charm, or this had been planned for a very long time. He didn’t wake up in his dog house, which was the first initial shock to his senses. He blinked, double blinked as his eyes adjusted to the dim light. Dim light? The light in the control room of the Valiant was never dim. His second sensation was the fact he wasn’t even lying down. The cold, cutting tightness of shackles around his wrists, supporting his slumped weight above his head hit him like a brick in the face, bringing a wince to his lips as his legs found their footing as he pushed against the floor, standing up.

His eyes were next, finally focusing in one of the dark rooms of the Valiant. At least it was one of the nice rooms, not the engine rooms where Jack was kept. It was one of the many board rooms. The lightening was purposefully low, the table and chairs cleared from the centre to the sides. His eyes glanced up when they had the focus to note the chains holding him were attached to the ceiling hook that normally held the overhead projector. And they were secure. No swinging off them. Bugger. He noted quickly that he was alone, for now anyway, and wondered how long he’d been hanging there.

Then it hit him, as he noted how his hands looked in those cuffs. Aside from the reddening and bruising on his wrists where the metal had started to cut into his skin, It was plain as day that his skin was…young. He looked down himself, over what he could, flicked his hair forwards into his face to look at it. Brown, and flicky. He was back to his normal looking age! He wasn’t an old man. Come to think of it, he could feel that now. The lack of aches and pains that came with the age he’d been for the last 12 months. Relief was the first feeling, and worry was the directly following second. Why?

He hadn’t have too long to wonder why before the door directly ahead of him the other side of the room unlatched from its previously locked state and swung open, and in sauntered his ever present assailant. His eyes didn’t leave him as the master, currently and worryingly wearing that black silk robe again, flounced his theatrical way across the room to offer him that sickeningly pleasant smile, flashing perfect white teeth at him. He didn’t say anything, and nor did the master, they understood each other well enough without the need for verbal greeting.

This was going to be a giggle, just for not the doctor.
