general appearance~

Generally, the eleventh incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor tends to carry himself with a bit of an arrogance. He tends to tilt his head downward and look up at people instead of looking at them straight on, all the while moving his head around as if to view the subject from a different angle, but it was so slightly that it was almost unnoticeable. He doesn't seem to be able to stand or sit still, rocking backward and forward on his feet while standing or repeatedly crossing and uncrossing his legs while sitting. When speaking, he uses his hands to emphasize his point and paces back and forth, taking only a few steps each way.

His young face and body contrasts rather sharply with the nice shirt, suspenders, bowtie and tweed coat he simply adores. The suspenders, shirt and bowtie sometimes change in color, ranging from a nice red to blue, and he's been seen wearing purple on a couple of occasions. He isn't above dressing up for the occasion, as evidenced by the dapper tuxedo he wore to his companions' wedding. Complete with coattails, a top hat, a cane, a white vest and a matching bowtie, he was the life of the party, as he'd come with his silliness intact.

likes~

01. HIS COMPANIONS~

The Doctor's companions are the light of his life, keeping the darkness of his self-hatred away every moment they're with him. When he's with them, he doesn't think of the future or the past, but only the present, where they're with him and still smiling. Still breathing.

02. ADVENTURES~

The constant adventures keep the dark thoughts from his mind. When he's focused on making sure that everyone comes out of it safely and impressing his companions, he doesn't have to think about all the things he's done in the past, or all the things he's going to end up doing to people.

03. NEW THINGS~

He loves the excitement of something new, be it a planet or a new species he hadn't encountered before. If it's new, chances are it'll intrigue him to the point where he won't be able to move on and leave it alone. He'll poke at it and fuss over it, and his scientific mind will be screaming at him to take it apart.

04. LEARNING~

The Doctor, being the healer and wise man of the universe, has quite a fondness for learning. Learning, to him, is something that never stops, and day in and day out he'll always be learning new things, until the day he dies. One of the main reasons he left Gallifrey was to see things for himself and learn things for what they are, instead of just reading about them in a stuffy old textbook.

05. ADRENALINE~

The Doctor is quite the adrenaline junkie. He throws himself into dangerous situations to get the adrenaline pumping, and he really feeds off of that energy it gives him in order to save everyone. He craves the challenge, the adversity, that will keep his great mind working at its best. He rebels at stagnation and boredom, and would rather be doing anything other than being stagnant.

dislikes~

01. UNPUNCTUAL ALIENS~

Unpunctual aliens and their respective attacks on humanity give the Doctor a really bad taste in his mouth. If you're going to attack the human race, at least do it when you're supposed to, instead of giving the Doctor time to reflect and be bored. Also, if he has more time, he'll come up with a better way to fend you off. Why can't you just not be late?

02. KILLING~

The Doctor loathes people who kill others, seeing all -- well nearly all -- life as a miracle. People who rob others of their lives are evil and heartless, and while he doesn't believe in killing those who kill and have killed, he doesn't want them to be out in society where they have an unlimited amount of victims.

03. DALEKS~

Probably the most evil thing in the universe, the Daleks hold a special place in the Doctor's hearts: particularly where he keeps his worst memories. If you imagine hatred in its purest, most condensed form, it would look like the spitting image of a Dalek. The Daleks were responsible for the Time War, and are one of the many reasons the Doctor is the Last of the Time Lords. When he'd used the Moment to try and end the War, he killed most of the Daleks... but they keep coming back. They're like roaches.

04. DEATH~

This isn't about his own death -- his own death doesn't scare him one bit -- but others'. When people die, it means he's failed. When you protect someone, that person is entrusting you with their life. Failure is not an option... and yet it happens all the time. The Doctor isn't a superhero; he can't save everyone all the time, and he hates the fact that he can't keep everyone alive.

05. BOREDOM~

The Doctor can't stand being bored. It's not just a simple "I have nothing to do" thought, it's the fact that he starts to get stir crazy, he starts thinking about things he really shouldn't be thinking about -- namely past companions and all the things he's messed up over the years -- and he gets really lonely. It's a lot of the reasons he's constantly roaming the universe, seeking out trouble.

habits~

01. MENTAL BOX~

One of the Doctor's main mental defenses include the box he throws all of his feelings into, labeled "feel later." He then hides this box behind a smile, but it's only a facade; if he didn't do this, he wouldn't nearly smile as much. As much as he wants to believe that the longer he fakes the smile, the more it will become real, he can't get past the fact that he hurts so much that smiling won't help.

02. GOD COMPLEX~

The Doctor has a rather large god complex, in the form of feeling responsible for the universe's safety. He knows that he's the only one who can do this, and so he takes it all upon himself and withholds information and even outright lies to his companions in order to keep them safe. If they knew everything he did, they wouldn't be the same. They'd be like him. And nobody should be like him.

03. PHYSICAL TICS~

There are things the Doctor does when he gets nervous or angry that are consistent throughout the situations. Nervousness tells him to wring his hands, as if doing something with them will solve the issue. When there's a moment of awkward sexual tension, he'll scratch his cheek a couple of times while staring at the object of said tension. When he gets angry, he tends to instead destroy anything in his path, giving him the names of Oncoming Storm, Bringer of Darkness, and Destroyer of Worlds.

04. LYING~

Rule Number One: the Doctor lies. Any good companion knows that the Doctor lies, but a great one knows exactly when and why he is. The reason the Doctor lies is a reason he's known for quite some time now: he lies to people to protect them. If they knew what he did, and if they knew what was really going on, then they wouldn't be the same. They'd end up like him. And that's never a good thing.

05. ENDANGERMENT~

It isn't really one of the Doctor's habits, per se, but something that just happens when you're with him. Because of all the adventures and the fact that he throws himself into dangerous situations without thinking of the consequences, he endangers the people he's with. It's because of this that he's so alone: all of his companions end up getting hurt, leaving, or being forced to leave him. They cause him nothing but pain... It's a wonder he hasn't just given up yet.

strengths~

01. HIS COMPANIONS~

A lot of the time, his companions give him strength. When he fights for them, he won't stop until he's won and they are safe, and when he can, he'll tear things apart just to make sure they're alright. They also give him the strength to go on when he's going through a hard time. As much as he hates thinking of them, remembering all the things they'd done together makes him happy for that brief moment, and sometimes, that's all he needs.

02. BRILLIANT~

The Doctor, above all, is quick witted and brilliant. He is, what most humans would call a genius, on the level of Sherlock Holmes and the like. Often, he'd end up compared to the aforementioned consulting detective, having quite the developed observation and deduction capabilities that Holmes possesses.

03. WORLDLY~

However, he'd end up thinking of himself as someone like Gandalf or Yoda, someone much more worldly and connected with everything than Holmes. He's referred to himself as Space Gandalf once before, when trying to explain to Amy that he wasn't just a bloke. In reality, he isn't just another bloke. He's a Time Lord, and in that alone, he feels like he's got a lot on his shoulders.

04. TIMEY WIMEY SENSE~

The Doctor has a sense of time that is unique to Time Lords: for any point in history, he can see all that was, all that is, and all that ever could be. Gets a bit cramped in your head, though, and so he never really focuses on it, instead only paying attention to it when he really needs it.

05. DETERMINATION~

The Doctor really never gives up, especially when someone he cares about is threatened. When they took Amy from him, he tore people apart to get her back and amassed an army to storm their base. Nothing can stop him, not even a horde of angry Daleks.

weaknesses~

01. HIS COMPANIONS~

As much as they are a great strength, his companions are also great weaknesses. He cares for them so much and they are so easily broken that when they are taken from him, he is the Oncoming Storm once again, the man who struck fear into the hearts of millions of Daleks and other evil beings throughout the universe.

02. SELF-HATRED~

The Doctor truly hates himself, moreso than any other being in the universe. He sees himself as a monster, a being incapable of being loved or adored by any and should be feared by all. He doesn't tell his companions about this, mainly because they'd try to convince him that he's their hero. The Doctor is everyone's hero, but even he can't save himself from his own self-hatred.

03. ANGER~

The Doctor is an angry man, and has a lot of capacity for hatred, grudges, and temper flares. They come out the most when he loses someone he cares about. He destroys things when he gets angry, leaving destruction and chaos in his wake, and he isn't above taking matters into his own hands and utterly destroying the ones who have made him angry.

04. HUMANS~

Humans are one of his biggest weaknesses. His previous incarnation was the most human of them all, but this new one was more alien than human. Because of this, he didn't understand all the private human stuff that was different from Gallifreyan culture, like the things they didn't put balloons up for, or the the way they interacted with each other. He can seem very awkward when it comes to interacting with humans, and this is why.

05. REMINISCING~

As much as the Doctor loves his companions, there are times when he simply can't think about them, otherwise he'll end up so overcome by emotion that he wouldn't be able to do anything. Usually, he gets this way when he opens up the box of feelings in his mind and sorts through them at the end of the day, but it's always the worst part of the day for him.

goals~ finding someone or something to live for
secrets~ his name, his past, a lot of things
overall personality~

The Doctor is quite an eccentric, like all of his past incarnations, and rants quite a bit to himself and to his companions. He's very physical when he speaks, tends to talk at a million miles an hour. He's quite a bit of a scatterbrain as well, and has a tendency to beat himself up when he doesn't catch something immediately. He also can't stand being bored; he needs to be able to run around and be active.

He has quite a bit of a temper, and he lashes out when he's frustrated, being pressured, or when the people close to him get hurt. His seriousness comes out in dire situations, and while he always wants to see the best in people, especially humans, he's saddened and disappointed when they fall short of his expectations. He has high hopes for the human race, and as he's put a lot of work into them and the planet, he wants to see them succeed and take their place in the universe.

Most of the time, he runs around with a childlike recklessness others would deem foolish or stupid, but he always has some type of grand scheme behind most of the things he does. However, there are times -- more often than he would like, really -- when he doesn't have a plan and he's left with only one option: wing it. Those situations are most likely the most scary, for himself and for his companions, but he'll do everything in his power to make sure everybody comes out alright.

Sometimes, though, everything in his power isn't enough, and his companions get hurt. Being a very complex man and having lived for thousands of years, he has quite a bit of a dark side, and the flashes of temper and rage are only scratching the surface. Most of it isn't rage, though; it's sorrow and pain. Every death, every word, every separation is like a knife blade on his hearts, and he blames himself when things don't go the way they should have and his companions get hurt. He's gotten over his survivor's guilt at using the Moment and destroying Gallifrey, even managing to chalk it up to a "bad day," but it comes out in other ways, like his tendency to load everything on his own shoulders and not tell his companions everything.

history~

The Doctor was loomed on Gallifrey years and years ago. As his first incarnation grew old, he stole a Type 40 TARDIS and took off with his granddaughter, Susan, to see the stars. Since then, he's gone through ten regenerations and hundreds of adventures with his many companions, most of them human.

After his explosive tenth regeneration, the Doctor landed -- well more like crashed -- the destroyed TARDIS in the backyard of a little Scottish girl, Amelia Pond. She asked him if he could take a look at the scary crack in her wall, and so he did. Turns out that the crack was a crack in the skin of the universe, not in her wall, and an interdimensional multiform called Prisoner Zero escaped into Amelia's house. The Doctor was about to give chase, but the TARDIS' Cloister Bell started ringing, interrupting him. He took a "quick" hop into the future to avert certain disaster, but when he had promised Amelia five minutes, he'd really taken twelve years. When he popped out of the TARDIS, he soon found out that the policewoman Amy he'd found living in Amelia's house was actually Amelia, and they proceeded to save the world from the Atraxi together. Since then, the two of them, along with her boyfriend/fiancee/husband Rory Williams, have gone on several adventures.

At first, Rory wasn't even there, having been left behind on Earth. The Doctor took Amy hundreds of years into the future, where the Starship UK was orbiting a planet. The Starship's secrets were no match for the Doctor's brilliance, and when it was discovered that the ship was being powered by the last of the star whales, he had three choices. He either let the star whale go on in unendurable agony, which wasn't what he wanted to do at all, let the star whale free, which would kill everyone on the ship and also wasn't what he wanted to do, or pass a massive charge through the star whale's brain, letting it still fly but being unable to feel the pain. In the end, he was about to go with the last choice, hating himself for having to do it, but Amy managed to intervene with a bit of insight that had passed him up. She'd noticed the parallels between the Doctor and the star whale, being very old, very kind, and the very last of their kind, and the fact that both of them couldn't stand to watch children crying.

The Doctor then took Amy to Winston Churchill's bunker in the middle of the London Blitz of World War II, having been summoned by Churchill himself to come see a new creation of theirs. Turns out, the "new creation" was a Dalek, and no one else believed him when he told them. They kept saying that it was one of Bracewell's Ironsides, and it would win them the war. The Doctor ended up overwhelmed by the odds against him and took up a spanner, resorting to violence in order to reveal the Dalek for what it was. In the end, the Daleks had planned on him coming there, planned on him recognizing them, and needed his testimony in order to create a new race of Daleks. When confronted, the Doctor left Amy behind in the bunker and went off to fight the Daleks alone. The Daleks gave him an ultimatum: destroy the Daleks now, or save the Earth: Bracewell was an android that ran off of an Oblivion Continuum which was being detonated as a bomb by the Daleks. Of course, the Doctor chose to save Earth, and with Amy's help, he managed to convince Bracewell that he was human, and stop the Oblivion Continuum.

Their next destination was the Delirium Archive, the final resting place of the Headless Monks. In one of the exhibits, the Doctor found a home box from a starship graffitied with Old High Gallifreyan. With those words, "Hello Sweetie," he knew that River was about to come back into his life, even though last time he'd seen her, she'd died. He stole the home box from the Archive and hooked it up to the TARDIS, figuring out what was going on. River had given him coordinates and he flew to them, catching her as she flew out of the airlock. They proceeded to follow the Byzantium to where it crashed, and met up with the clerics who were in charge of the mission to neutralize a Weeping Angel. As they ventured into the Aplans' Maze of the Dead, they came to realize that each and every statue in the Maze was a Weeping Angel.

They used a gravity bubble to get up to the wreckage of the Byzantium and into the control room, where they found the crack in the universe. They escaped into the forest, where they realized that Amy had looked into the eyes of an Angel and had an Angel in her mind. On the Doctor's advice, she closed her eyes to pause the Angel, rendering herself vulnerable to the Angels in the forest. Eventually, the Angels proved their own undoing: as they were eating up the ship's power, the artificial gravity failed, throwing all of the angels into the crack and erasing them from existence. Amy wanted to return home to show him something: her wedding dress. The night ended up with her trying to seduce him, which he didn't catch onto at first, and he shoved her into the TARDIS to get her sorted out.

The Doctor crashed her fiancee's stag night, dragging Rory into the TARDIS with them. He took the two lovebirds to Venice in the sixteenth century, hoping to get them to reconnect to each other instead of having him spoil their relationship like he'd done with Rose and Mickey. It turned out that there was an alien threat in Venice: vampires. Well, vampires who weren't really vampires. They were really Saturnyns, aliens who had escaped to Venice through a crack in the universe before their world burned. They were trying to rebuild their race, as the females of their species didn't make it to Earth, by converting human women into Saturnyns. In order to get into their stronghold, Amy was sent in as a potential student, and was accepted, only because they'd used the Doctor's psychic paper. Rory and the Doctor got in through the underground caverns, rescued Amy, and got away. Later, the Saturnyns tried to sink the city by causing an epic rainstorm, but the Doctor managed to cancel it out and bring out the sun. Rory and Amy had some bonding time, and everything was okay in the end. Well, except for the fact that the Doctor got another new scar on his hearts. The Saturnyns had died, gone extinct without their women. Another dead race on his conscience...

It was those kinds of thoughts that gave way to their next adventure. In idyllic Leadworth, Amy and Rory lived in peace, five years since they left the Doctor. He ended up crushing their flowerbed as he landed, and they all had a joyous reunion. Amy was very heavily pregnant, and Rory had a new ponytail and a really weird haircut. They had a bit of a visitation... then fell asleep on a bench. Suddenly, all three of them woke up in the TARDIS, trying to figure out what was going on. They all had had the same dream, and were flashing forward and backwards through time. A new enemy, calling himself the Dream Lord after the Doctor's title of Time Lord, was causing the entire ordeal, and soon after, the Doctor figured out exactly who the Dream Lord was, saying that only one person in the universe could hate him as much as the Dream Lord seemed to: himself. After Rory had gotten killed by one of the monsters of the week, Amy knew that this world was the dream, mainly because if it was reality, she didn't want it. She and the Doctor formed a suicide pact, and the Doctor handed over the keys to the car. Amy drove it into the house, killing the both of them. It turned out that both realities were dreams, and the perpetrator was psychic pollen that latched onto the Doctor's psyche and brought out his dark side.

Amy had asked to go to Rio, but the TARDIS had brought the trio to the Welsh countryside in the not too far future, where there was a big mining project going on. Upon investigation, Amy was sucked down into the Earth, while Rory figured things out on his own. They went down underground to figure out what was going on and to rescue Amy, while the Silurians responsible for the entire fiasco roamed around up top. They captured one of them, Alaya, and were going to bargain for Amy and the child they'd taken with the Silurian's life, but the child's mother, Ambrose, killed the Silurian when questioning her for answers. The entire situation blew up rather fiercely when this was brought to light, and it took the tribe leader putting all of them back to sleep that solved the issue. However, the leader of the army, Restac, caught up with the trio and shot at them. Rory pushed the Doctor out of the way, taking the shot himself and dying in a crying Amy's arms. The crack the Doctor had inspected started to swallow him up, and it erased him from existence and Amy's life.

The Doctor was rather kind to Amy after that, taking her to all these incredible places. One of them was the Vincent van Gogh exhibit in the Musee D'Orsay. Upon inspection, one of the paintings had a monster in it, and the Doctor and Amy left to investigate. They met up with Vincent and talked with him, gaining his trust and helping him to get over his torturous depression while figuring out the monster's identity. It was a Krafayis, brutal hunters with an "every man for themselves" policy, leaving behind the weaker ones and moving on. Seeing as how it was invisible, it was really hard to battle properly, but Vincent could see it. As they waited for Vincent to start painting the church, they found the Krafayis, and the Doctor went in alone. In the end, Vincent killed it with his easel, and they realized that it was blind. He hadn't wanted to kill it, only injure it, but it was for the best, really. After the church had been painted, the Doctor and Amy brought Vincent to the Musee D'Orsay to see his exhibit. He went home a new man, with a new vigor and faith in life. However, when Amy was excited to get back to the exhibit to see all the new paintings... there weren't any. The only changes were that the Krafayis wasn't in the window of the church... and Vincent had dedicated the Sunflowers to Amy.

Their next adventure started with the TARDIS materializing near a row of flats. Before Amy could get out of the TARDIS with the Doctor, the machine threw him out of it and took off with Amy still inside, leaving him stranded and Amy stuck. He sought out the source of the time loop, and in doing so, managed to domestic things, such as play football, spend quality time with his new friends Craig and Sophie, and cook. With psychic help from a cat, some non-technological technology of Lammasteen, and a few headbutts of shared information with Craig, he figured out that whatever it was up there was taking people and burning them up. When he went to investigate with Craig, upon Amy's realization that there was no 79B Aickman Road, that the flat was a one story building, the Doctor realized that it was someone's attempt at building a TARDIS. The interface attached to the console tried him as a pilot, but the Doctor knew that it would blow up the solar system if he did. He then convinced Craig to focus on why he wanted to stay there and put his hand on the pilot orb, which Craig did. The Doctor was released and Craig professed his love for Sophie, which she returned, and they kissed. The ship started to implode, and the Doctor managed to get everyone out before it did.

The Doctor's next brilliant idea brought him to the oldest cliff in the universe, graffitied with the words "Hello Sweetie," just as the home box had been. He followed the coordinates to Britain in 102 AD, just outside a Roman camp. River was there, disguised as Cleopatra, and showed him a painting, done by Vincent, of the TARDIS exploding. River told them about the Pandorica, and the Doctor deduced that it was underneath Stonehenge. They rode off on horses to the monument, getting under it and figuring out what it was for. The Pandorica was there, and it was unlocking itself, just as everything that ever hated the Doctor congregated in the skies above. He delivered a speech that made them all back off, giving him time to think and make this work. The Doctor sent River to get the TARDIS and bring it there with them, but she was sent off into the time vortex and instead got put out at Amy's house. It was there she figured out that it was all a ruse, and tried to tell the Doctor about it, but the Pandorica was open, and the Auton Romans were putting him in it. Rory, who had come back as an Auton Roman, was up on the surface with Amy, who he'd shot because of his Auton programming. The Pandorica closed with the Doctor screaming inside of it, just as the TARDIS exploded with River inside, causing a total event collapse. Every star went supernova at every moment in history, destroying the universe.

Earth was alone in the sky, lit up by the exploding TARDIS instead of the sun. A future Doctor wearing a fez visited Rory and gave him the sonic screwdriver to open the Pandorica from the outside in order to get him out, leaving Rory baffled. He did what the Doctor had asked, though, opening the Pandorica and getting the Doctor out. They put the nearly dead Amy in the Pandorica, waiting on a young Amelia Pond to come and restore her. Rory waited for her, for two thousand years, while the Doctor took the easy way out, using River's vortex manipulator to jump ahead two thousand years. Amelia restored Amy, and the Doctor popped up just as a Dalek was threatening the Ponds. Rory showed up and shot the Dalek in the eyestalk, critically injuring it. They ran around the museum a bit, being chased by the Dalek, until, just after the Doctor saved River from the exploding TARDIS -- and subsequently had his fez destroyed -- the Dalek popped up and shot the Doctor in the chest. Staving off regeneration, he time traveled back to the stairs, twelve minutes in the past, and set to work on wiring the vortex manipulator into the Pandorica. After saying an emotional goodbye to Amy, he flew the box into the exploding TARDIS, rebooting the universe. At Amy's wedding, she remembered him into existence, and everything was okay again.

From there, the Doctor dropped Amy and Rory off on a honeymoon planet -- which isn't what you'd think, really; it's not a planet for a honeymoon, it's a planet on a honeymoon: it married an asteroid -- and was trapped by the Shansheeth on an alien planet as they tried to convince Jo Jones (nee Grant) and Sarah Jane Smith that he was dead and, ultimately, get their memories of the Doctor to create a TARDIS key for them. They'd use the TARDIS key to stop death across the universe by interfering with the timelines, and take Colonel Karim to see the stars because she has nothing left for her on Earth. However, the Doctor managed to get Jo and Sarah Jane to remember other things instead of the TARDIS, having them give the memory weave everything. Every planet. Every face. Every mad man. Every loss. Every sunset. Every scent. Every terror. Every joy. Every Doctor. In the end, the memory weave overloaded and exploded, taking the recreated TARDIS key with it. He said goodbye and shared a heartfelt moment with the two companions before taking his leave.

His next adventure started with a distress signal from Amy and Rory: the ship they were on had gotten itself stuck in the cloud layer of a human inhabited planet. The Doctor popped in on the planet to see if he could get the cloud layer to disperse, but it turned out that they'd been "tamed" and "controlled" -- such a stupid thing, really -- by a man called Kazran Sardick. The Doctor went to Kazran, trying to get him to open up the cloud layer and let the people land, but he wouldn't let them. The Doctor wouldn't have that, and decided to go back in time and make the man a better person, using Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol as a template. He took him to see the fish that flew in the cloud layer and introduced him to Abigail, who he never would have met otherwise, as she was "security" for her family's debts and was stuck in a cryo-unit. Kazran fell in love with Abigail, but she had an incurable disease upon going into the ice, and on the last day she had to live, Kazran sealed her away and didn't let her out again. With Christmas Past complete, Amy and Rory took over Christmas Present, showing him the people who were going to die if he didn't let the ship land. When this didn't work, the Doctor came back as the Ghost of Christmas Future, bringing a younger Kazran to the present and showing him his future: a miserly old man who doesn't give a damn about the rest of the world. Kazran agreed to help, but the isomorphic controls didn't work for him. They eventually got Abigail to sing, to stabilize the cloud layer and let the ship land.

Eventually, the Doctor got a letter with a date, time and map reference leading to Utah, to the middle of nowhere. When he met up with the TARDIS team, they were all... acting weird and cross at him. He didn't know why, but he figured he'd done something wrong. They knew something he didn't, probably whatever it was that they were cross about. He guided the TARDIS on their information -- space, 1969, and Canton Everett Delaware III -- and touched down in the Oval Office. He was captured by the Secret Service, but was given a chance by Canton and the President himself. Upon figuring their dilemma out -- Jefferson, Adams, Harrison -- he took Canton away into the TARDIS with him and zoomed off to Florida, trying to find the little girl who'd been calling the President. There, they found a spacesuit torn apart by something with massive power, and tunnels extending for miles below the surface. Rory and River went down there, and the Doctor, Amy and Canton stayed up on the surface. Amy said she had something to tell him: she was pregnant. Suddenly, a person in an Apollo astronaut suit -- the little girl they'd been hunting -- showed up. For reasons unknown to the Doctor, she grabbed Canton's gun, pointed it at the girl, and fired.

The Doctor gave orders to find the things responsible, then got himself captured by the government and trusted them to find their own way across the country. Canton was pretending to hunt them all down while chaining and straitjacketing the Doctor in Area 51. The entire time, they didn't give him any sort of sustenance, and while that was alright with him -- while he could, he really didn't need anything to eat or drink to sustain him -- he did get shaggy and grow a beard. The entire time, they were building a prison around him out of dwarf star alloy. Little did they know that the TARDIS was right behind him, cloaked. In the meantime, Amy, River and Rory were out doing things and getting "hunted" by Canton. When they all came together, they got into the TARDIS and went off to do their thing. The Doctor broke into Apollo 11 and installed a communications relay. Amy got kidnapped, and they all went to save her. They tricked the Silence, got Amy back, and things were good. Amy told the Doctor that she wasn't pregnant, so he did a scan of her. The scan was switching between positive and negative, which was troubling.

The Ponds' next adventure was on a pirate ship that was being plagued by a siren, a spirit who marked her victims for death with a black spot on their hand. The pirates weren't too happy about the fact that they were on the ship, and they tried to have the Doctor walk the plank. Amy took control and fought the pirates off with her cutlass, being the amazing Pond that she is. Rory ended up getting targeted by the siren, and Amy scared her off, but not before being blasted away. The captain's son was hiding as a stowaway onboard the ship as they figured out that it was the reflections that caused the siren to appear, not water. A storm suddenly hit, and Rory got knocked overboard. The Doctor let the siren loose to get him, so that he would be saved, and they all let the siren get them too. Turns out, there was a spaceship parked onboard the pirate ship, and the only way to get through from one to the other would be through a reflection, like how the siren was getting through. The siren turned out to be a medical interface, looking after sick and injured humans out on the high seas. They got Rory back into the TARDIS, Amy performed her resuscitation, and everyone was alright.

The Doctor's next bright idea was cut short when he received a literal mail box from another Time Lord, the Corsair. He traced the box to a bubble just outside the universe and headed off, fully intent on helping the other Time Lord. However, the minute the TARDIS landed, her matrix was stolen away from the box. Upon investigation, the asteroid they landed on was called House, and inhabited by patchwork people Auntie and Uncle, an Ood named Nephew, and an excited young woman named Idris. Idris ended up being the TARDIS' matrix stuffed inside a woman's body, which the Doctor was originally apprehensive about finding out. House possessed the TARDIS' shell, taking the place of the matrix and setting off to see the universe. The Doctor and Idris constructed a TARDIS console from the TARDIS junkyard all around them and chased House down, materializing inside the box. The Doctor told House how to get back to their universe, and House played right into his plan by deleting the old control room they were in. That deposited them directly into the main console room, and as Idris' body failed, the TARDIS' matrix was released back into the box. She finished House off and had a heartfelt conversation with the Doctor before rejoining with the console.

The Doctor had come to a definitive conclusion as to Amy's mysterious pregnancy, determining that the Amy that was with them was a Flesh avatar. He then took the Ponds to examine the Flesh in its early days, in order to humanely sever the connection between the real Amy and the Flesh avatar. As a solar tsunami hits the factory, the Flesh becomes sentient in the forms of the workers, and thus begins a civil war. The Doctor orders everyone into the chapel, thinking it to be the safest place, but the Doctor's earlier actions have spawned a Flesh Doctor. The two Doctors work together throughout the rest of the adventure, making the rest of them believe that the Flesh Doctor is the real one and vice versa. As the original Doctor is perceived to be a Ganger, he's taken to the Gangers' hideout within the monastery, and from there, manages to convince the Gangers that they're as human as the ones they were created from. However, the Ganger Jennifer turns into a monster and attacks them. The Flesh Doctor and Flesh Cleaves dissolves the Jennfer monster after the rest of them get away in the TARDIS. The Doctor takes everyone back to their respective timelines, while Amy starts to get stomach pains. He tells Amy that they're coming for her, then dissolves the Flesh avatar she was operating through.

The Doctor then proceeds to tear apart anyone who stood in his way as he tried to find out where Amy was, calling in favors and amassing an army. He infiltrates the base, Demons Run, and figures out that Melody, Amy's baby, is actually part Time Lord. Madame Kovarian comes up on the screen and implies that baby Melody is a Flesh avatar. The Doctor runs off to tell Amy and Rory, but it's too late: by the time he gets there, Melody has already splatted into a pile of goo, and Amy is traumatized. Amy rejects his advances and comfort, and River shows up. She berates him for just about everything he's done, blaming him for everything that's happened. She tells him who she is, and then he runs off in the TARDIS. The Doctor is off trying to find Melody when he finds the crop circle in Leadworth, Amy and Rory's way of trying to get him back to them. Their old friend, Mels, shows up, being chased by police, and they all pile into the TARDIS upon Mels' use of a gun. They crash into the Reichstag in 1938, saving Hitler's life from the Teselecta. Hitler shoots at the Teselecta, but instead hit Mels, who reveals herself to be Melody Pond, who then regenerates into River Song. Melody and the Doctor engage in a battle of wits, ending up with the Doctor dying at the hands of a brutal poison. Melody ends up using all of her remaining regenerations to save him, being inspired by his selflessness.

Amy and Rory are back in the TARDIS when the Doctor gets a message on his psychic paper: "Please save me from the monsters." The Doctor tracks down the child responsible for the message, posing as a social services worker in order to get into the house and to examine the situation. The child, George, has been frightened of everything for all of his life, and has learned to lock away his fears into the cupboard in his room. After looking through a photo album of Claire, Alex and George, he realizes that Claire isn't pregnant in the weeks leading up to George's birth, and thus realizes that Claire can't have children. They turn to George, wondering what exactly he is, but George starts reciting his mantra -- "Please save me from the monsters" -- and the cupboard opens up, pulling both the Doctor and Alex into the dollhouse within. Inside, peg dolls chase them around, having already turned Amy into one of their own. George opens the cupboard on the Doctor's request, getting sucked into the dollhouse as well. Alex gets over the fact that George is a Tenza and not human, and goes to hug his son, reassuring him that nobody will be sending him away. George reverses everything, spitting everyone back out of the cupboard and is no longer afraid. The Doctor congratulates Alex and George on a job well done, and sets off with Amy and Rory to the next destination.

The aforementioned next destination would end up being Appalapuchia, a fabulously beautiful planet of soaring spires, silver colonnades and the mirrored Glasmir mountains. It was voted the number two destination for the discerning intergalactic traveler, number one being the Planet of the Coffee Shops. The Doctor found number one to be disgusting and overcrowded, with a Starbucks on every corner. Unknown to him, the One Day Plague had broken out on the planet, and the Two Streams facility allowed infected individuals to live out their entire lives in the course of a day. Amy got separated from Rory and the Doctor and ended up stuck in one of these accelerated timestreams, waiting for thirty six years before they could get her out. The Doctor couldn't go outside, for fear of death by the Plague -- it only affected individuals with two hearts, like Time Lords and the native Appalapuchians. The only way they would be able to get the original Amy out was if the older Amy helped them. In return, she expected the Doctor to let her into the TARDIS along with the younger Amy, having two Amys in the TARDIS. Even though the Doctor knew he couldn't do it, he promised that he would, and when she came running to the TARDIS, the Doctor locked her out and put the decision on Rory's shoulders. Amy eventually let the handbots get her, to save Rory from the decision himself.

Their next destination seemed like a simple 1980s hotel, until they ran into the people who were the hotel's next victims. They explained that there were things in the rooms, things that made you fall back on your most fundamental faith. However, they thought of that as fear, and when Joe was starting to praise the Minotaur running the joint, the Doctor didn't know what to do. Joe was eventually found dead, and Howie was its next victim. Gibbins was charged with keeping Howie safe, but that didn't go as planned, and the Minotaur killed Howie too. Rita, however, went peacefully, and it was by then the Doctor was getting angry. He destroyed half of the valuables in the hotel, upset with himself because he couldn't save them. It was Amy, Rory and Gibbins left, and Amy had started praising. They found her room, and the Doctor determined that her faith lay in him, and he had to break it in order to get the Minotaur to stop. He told her that he took her with him to have someone adore him, and it worked. "Amy Williams. It's time to stop waiting." After that, the Doctor took Amy and Rory back to their house and left them there.

As the TARDIS took off, the Doctor fell to the floor, hugging his knees. The console room was too big, too many empty rooms... He'd saved them... but once again, he was alone. And it was the hell of loneliness that he couldn't stand.

The Doctor sighed to himself as he looked around the empty console room. Amy had just hung up on the answer phone, asking him if he'd found Melody. He stood there in the darkness, his mind not racing, but sorting through everything she'd said. Calculating. He hadn't heard anything, but he'd been trying. He'd been trying so hard to find her... Inadvertently, thoughts of his own children, his grandchildren, all the companions he sometimes thought as children... He'd told her no, that he hadn't been a father, a grandfather, he'd lied. He'd lied to keep the questions at bay, the questions he knew they'd ask about him, his children, grandchildren... He remembered everything, everyone... and how he'd destroyed them all. He didn't know where Susan was, if she had died with Gallifrey or was still living somewhere out among the stars. The others of his family he'd left on Gallifrey, and there they had stayed during the Time War. He'd killed them. Killed all of them. Jenny had been his, as well, and she'd died... Granted, it hadn't been his fault, but... it still felt like it. Losing her just brought up all of those feelings again, and now, losing Melody... River... He knew that he hadn't lost her, that she was his, and that he'd find her, but... hearing Amy's voice -- heartbroken, scared, worried, trusting him to come through and find her daughter -- it was just... heartbreaking. He bowed his head over the console, letting his hair fall in front of his face.

He wasn't perfect. That was plain and simple, at least to him. What was it about everyone else that made them think so? He wasn't a superhero, he couldn't do everything. He'd made one simple mistake back on Demons Run, and both Rory and Amy had seemed to hate him. He admitted that River had had a point, and while he didn't want to think about the fact that he'd royally screwed up, he knew that she was right. He'd gone about the universe, saving planets, fighting monsters... but in reality, a lot of the universe saw him as the monster. And to be honest... he didn't know how to fix it. Up to this point, he'd just been going around seeing things and having adventures. It'd been nearly two thousand years since he'd started; could he just turn his life around that easily? And if he did just stop making enemies, what would happen to the good people of the universe if he wasn't there to help them? There were still beings like the Daleks and Cybermen out there who were threatening the universe; could he just sit back and let things happen? He'd never been able to, not even back in his Academy days. It was the whole reason he'd rebelled against the Time Lords in the first place, stolen a TARDIS, and went off to see the universe. What was he supposed to do now?

He was broken out of his thoughts by a sudden jerk of the console room, the TARDIS having decided to change her course midflight. He staggered and fell backwards into the single chair near the console and stared as the TARDIS started the landing procedure, the controls moving by themselves. He'd known that she was alive and that she could manipulate the controls to a certain extent, but to see it happening was... breathtaking. After a few seconds, the sound of the brakes squealing filled the console room, and he got up from the chair, aiding the TARDIS in the landing procedure. He didn't know where they were or what would be outside those doors, but it was always such an adventure. He threw the door lever, bounded down the stairs, and stepped through the open doors, excited to see where she'd taken him in such a rush...

And there was River, laying in the middle of the alleyway the TARDIS had materialized in, her hands over her head and in obvious pain. He wasted no moment in getting to her side, sliding in the rough gravel in his haste. He bent over her and gently moved her to be laying on her back, positioning himself so she could lay back against his legs and not be fully on the ground. "Hey." he said, his voice breathy and wobbly as worry welled up in his chest. "River, stay with me. Come on, you're alright." Someone had attacked her. And it wasn't just anyone; River was no pushover. There were bruises on her wrists and an agonized expression on her face... He could feel his hearts breaking in two at the state she was in, and he took off his coat -- the long, gray one he'd recently picked up -- and put it over her, trying to get her warm. "Shhh..." He caressed her cheek, needing to make sure she was alright and okay to move before bringing her into the TARDIS.
