Basic Info

Name:	The Doctor

Bio

The Doctor is a Time Lord, an extraterrestrial from the planet Gallifrey, who wanders time and space in an internally vast time machine called the TARDIS — Time And Relative Dimension (or Dimensions) In Space. Although the TARDIS once had the ability to disguise itself according to its environment, after landing in 1963 London its exterior form becomes "stuck" in the form of a British police box; due to a malfunctioning chameleon circuit, it has remained in that shape ever since. Though over the time the Doctor occasionally attempts to fix the circuit, but eventually gives up the effort out of fondness for the police box shape. The discrepancy between the small exterior of the ship and its vast interior is explained by its dimensionally transcendental nature, whereby the ship's interior and exterior dimensions exist independently of each other.

For the most part — often due to the age and unreliability of the TARDIS's navigation system — the Doctor explores the universe at random, using his extensive knowledge of science and technology to avert whatever crises he encounters. The Doctor generally travels with one or more companions. Most of these choose to travel with him, while others are accidental passengers.

Although Time Lords resemble humans, their physiology differs in some key respects; like other members of his race, the Doctor has two hearts, a "respiratory bypass system" that allows him to go without air for some while, an internal body temperature of 15–16 degrees Celcius, and on occasion he exhibits a super-human level of stamina. He has shown a resistance to temporal effects, as well as some limited telepathic abilities. The Doctor also exhibits some weaknesses uncommon to humans; in The Mind of Evil (1971) he claimed that a tablet of aspirin could kill him.

Time Lords can live forever, "barring accidents." When accidents do occur, Time Lords can regenerate into new bodies, resulting in extremely long life-spans.
