Basic Character Information

Entry Point

Somewhere between Frontios and Resurrection of the Daleks

Physical Description

Tall, blonde and blue eyed. The youngest of his incarnations to date. He wears a collared shirt (upon which red question marks are embroidered on the collar) and a cricket sweater underneath a beige/fawn Edwardian frock coat. Candy striped pants and white, immaculate plimsoll shoes. Upon his lapel is a stick of celery, for what reason he wears it isn't fully known though he has said it is because celery detects certain gasses in the Praxis spectrum that he is allergic to.

Personality

The Fifth Doctor is known as the most vulnerable and reserved of his incarnations, both past and future. Quite often he'll wait and react to situations instead of being proactive. He works best as a team and though he does have a tendency to be more than a little bit tetchy at times he is more than willing to lay down his life to save those of his companions if needed.

Because of his boyish charm and youthful appearance many people, both ally and enemy alike, don't take him seriously and he must fight for respect. He abhors violence just as much, if not more, than his other incarnations and can quite often be found at the end of it all telling his allys that "there should have been another way!" Though he would break this rule if it meant ridding everyone of the Master.

His favourite pastime is cricket and is often disappointed when he is unable to play a game because he has to save the world, though he will do so with a smile on his face (until it all goes wrong).

Beneath his youthful appearance hides a tired and universe weary Timelord who really wants to play a good game of cricket, have fun with his friends and spend as much time with Catherine as possible. When his friends leave him, by death, to help others or just to go home again, he takes it personally and blames it on his lifestyle and the violence in it.

History

After falling from a great hight and a hard regeneration which almost killed him when it nearly failed. He recovered on the planet Castrovalva, and defeated the Master who'd laid a trap there to kill him. The Fifth Doctor then continued his travels with Tegan Jovanka, Nyssa of Traken and Adric. Sadly during the course of his adventures Adric died when attempting to stop Adric from crashing a space freighter into Earth. This tragedy affected all members of the TARDIS crew.

Soon after he was recalled back to Gallifrey, after accidentally stranding Tegan back at Heathrow, and given the death sentence when it was clear that Omega wished to return to this universe by taking control of the Doctor's body. He survived and destroyed Omega.

After a while he met Vislor Turlough who, at the command of the Black Guardian, attempted to kill the Doctor. Though he failed he became part of the TARDIS crew and Nyssa left to find a cure for Lazar's disease.

He ran into some of his previous incarnations when he was taken to the death zone by his old friend and Lord President Borusa, who was attempting to gain immortality. After defeating Borusa, he was offered the presidency but instated Flavia until he returned before running off with Tegan and Turlough in the TARDIS.

When he was brought into the 12-7 situation he felt left out, everyone had their companions except for him, his own had seemed to have simply vanished. Soon Orian arrived and after sharing many cups of tea he and Catherine fell in love. He was hearts broken when told the truth, but after almost losing her from a violent attack by the Master their relationship is now stronger than ever.

After being possessed by the Mara, the Doctor and Catherine were involved in a fight that caused an end to their relationship. An end that lasted two days before the Doctor swallowed his pride and apologised. After they reconciled they were happy together until the Doctor took his original companions on a camping trip to the Eye of Orion.

Upon the end of the trip which inadvertently lasted longer than anticipated. Over an argument, where he forbid Catherine from stopping Koschei becoming the Master sadly they have split for good.
