The Doctor

The Doctor is a Time Lord from Gallifrey who travels through time and space with various companions in their obsolete and "borrowed" Type 40 TARDIS. They are the universe's "greatest defender", having saved the cosmos thousands of times, becoming a great legend across the whole universe.

Though largely a believer in non-violent conflict resolution, they are, when absolutely necessary, a great warrior. Indeed, some civilisations in the universe (e.g. the denizens of the Gamma Forests) translated the word doctor as warrior, whilst others see the Doctor as a compassionate benefactor, worthy of their admiration and compassion.

Although they have saved untold numbers on their travels, the Doctor was thought to have caused the deaths of billions at the conclusion to the Last Great Time War. Though most of the Daleks were killed in the crossfire, Gallifrey — disappearing, rather than being burned — was hidden thanks to the efforts of the first thirteen of their incarnations, the first eleven of which retained no memory of the event. For their actions, the Time Lords granted the Doctor a new regeneration cycle, allowing them to live on after using up all available regenerations in their first cycle.

From the latter years of their first incarnation onward, the Doctor has had a pronounced affinity for Earth and the human race. After departing Gallifrey, they voluntarily choose to spend time on the planet, choosing it as the place of their exile during most of their third incarnation, and even owning property in Kent and New York City. They favor Great Britain as a frequently visited location, taking most of their companions from there. Even before the disappearance of Gallifrey, the Doctor spent much more time on Earth than on their homeworld.

The Doctor's personal history is constantly changing and contradicting itself.

Despite the varying personality traits of each incarnation, the Doctor always retains "a bit of adrenaline, a dash of outrage and a hint of panic" which helped define who they were along with the promise of sticking to everything that their name stood for.

Though taste in fashion does change with each Doctor, one thing that is an almost constant are jackets, either as part of an outfit or an extra like a trench coat.
