The First Doctor

Physical Appearance
In his later life, the Doctor had shoulder length, greyish-white hair. He had piercing brown eyes. The Doctor affected a slightly eccentric Edwardian dress sense, wearing a frock coat and tartan trousers. Occasionally he wore an Astrakhan or a Panama hat. He sometimes wore a cape. He also used a smoking pipe on at least one occasion.

Like his fifth incarnation, he sometimes used half-moon reading glasses, although a later incarnation would call into question whether he actually needed them. He occasionally employed a walking stick made of ebony which sometimes made an effective weapon. He wore a blue signet ring which had special, if ill-defined, powers. On one occasion, the ring appeared to both facilitate hypnotism and protect the Doctor from electrical shock. On one occasion, he did not wear his ring, and wore fingerless gloves on his hands.

When adventuring in Earth's past, this incarnation of the Doctor, in contrast with most that followed, sometimes made significant changes to his wardrobe in an attempt to blend in with the local population. He usually made at least a token alteration to his "standard" outfit wherever he went in Earth's past, as when he wore a cowboy hat in 19th century Arizona. More rarely, he would gladly accept the vestments of extraterrestrial societies, as when he proudly wore the ceremonial garb of the Elders.

Personality
The Doctor was adamant that he and Susan would one day return to Gallifrey. He saw himself as an exile, "without friends or protection", as he put it. When he first met Ian and Barbara, he abducted them and set the TARDIS console to shock Ian into unconsciousness. He justified this by claiming he was keeping himself and Susan safe. He regarded humans as primitives and, arguably, even contemplated killing the mortally wounded Za so that he would not slow down the Doctor's party. When Ian caught him apparently ready to bludgeon the man with a rock, the Doctor explained he merely wanted Za to draw him a map. However, this explanation seemed somewhat improvised. Despite Ian's apparent hostility towards him, the Doctor was quick to bargain for his safety.

The Doctor deliberately removed the TARDIS' fluid link so that he would have an excuse to explore the Dalek City on Skaro. He went so far as to offer the Daleks the secrets of the TARDIS in return for Susan's safety and took it upon himself to ensure the Thals were not threatened with extinction. After the TARDIS became faulty, the Doctor took Ian and Barbara to be saboteurs and accused them as such. They refuted his claim but he insisted they were trying to blackmail him into returning them home. Barbara confronted him, saying "gratitude is the last thing you'll ever have or any sort of common sense either". When proven wrong, the Doctor apologized and spent some time trying to win Barbara over. The Doctor refused to bend his knee to the Kublai Khan, giving rheumatic knees as his excuse. He seriously suggested that, faced with a bandit raid, he and his companions, along with Tegana, should leave in the TARDIS.

On Marinus, he belatedly only agreed to help Arbitan restore the Conscience of Marinus after he was blackmailed. Despite earlier claims that he never gave advice, the Doctor took Sabetha aside and told her only man could preserve justice, and therefore could never be ruled by machines. The Doctor came to the defense of established history when Barbara attempted to alter the nature of the Aztec civilization. Nevertheless, he was not averse to having a personal relationship with one of its respected female elders. The Doctor would, when pressed, resort to hand-to-hand combat with an effectiveness which belied his age. A professional wrestler, the Mountain Mauler of Montana, had taught him some effective moves. At other times, however, the Doctor revealed age-related vulnerabilities. For example, he suffered from rheumatism that flared up if he was exposed to cold.

The Doctor was quick to comfort Vicki when she expected him to abandon her. Despite his earlier lectures against altering history, he used first aid - including drugs - upon the injured de Tornebu. He proceeded to justify stealing clothes based on the fact they were already stolen and found his shoplifting abilities hilarious. Although he knew that it wouldn't work, the Doctor tried to convince King Richard to carry out his peace plan. Together with Vicki, he admitted that he would miss Ian and Barbara after they had left. He would get particularly snappish with those who doubted the TARDIS could actually travel through space and time. The Doctor was frequently sarcastic towards those around him, seemingly to elevate himself above lesser intellects. He once stated his belief that there was a reason for everything in the universe and claimed to have "the directional instinct of a homing pigeon".

When he met the Monk, the Doctor quickly labeled him a "time meddler" and continued to uphold his belief that history could not be changed. The Doctor was quick to help the Rills in their fight against the Drahvins on a doomed planet, noting that bias based on appearance was unwelcome. He allowed the Drahvins to die when the planet exploded. The Doctor did not associate himself with a specific culture. When a policeman asked if he was British, he replied: ” I am a citizen of the universe, and a gentleman to boot!”

He negotiated the release of the Monk from the Daleks, despite peace not being brokered between the two Time Lords, and could not explain his motives for having done so. In 16th century Paris, the Doctor again backed up his previous ideal that it was okay to save people who were not directly contributing to historical events. Upon witnessing the persecution of the so-called "savages", the Doctor was quick to ally himself with them against the Elders. He defied their suggestions that progress was based on exploitation, branding it murder. Despite this, the Elders recognized him as a man of infinite wisdom. Several of his future incarnations had a noticeably profound respect for the first incarnation, so much so that they dared not question his judgment. The Time Lords used this to their advantage when the second and third incarnations were found to be incapable of working together. In another meeting, the Doctor again showed his position of authority over his future selves by deducing the truth about Rassilon's gift of immortality before the others and taking action without their input or objections.

Childhood
The Doctor was born on Gallifrey, home planet of the Time Lords. He was born under "the sign of crossed computers," the symbol of the maternity service there. The infant Doctor slept in his cot under "the Doctor's first stars" as Amy Pond pointed out. The Doctor had parents. His mother may have been a Victorian Era human called Penelope Gate. A later incarnation of the Doctor once claimed that he was half-human, The Doctor lived in a house on the side of a mountain named Mount Cadon. His home was called the House of Lungbarrow. He lived there along with his cousins, who were produced by the Looms, and with his brother, Irving Braxiatel. In his childhood, the Doctor once watched a meteor storm on Gallifrey with his father. At the age of eight, the Doctor stared into the Untempered Schism as part of a Time Lord initiation rite. He reacted by running away.

The Doctor and his friend the Master used to play in the estates of the Master's father. The Master would often hypnotise others, and the Doctor would un-hypnotise them. The Doctor and the Master were bullied as children and the Doctor found himself forced to kill the bully Torvic to save his friend's life. He was later confronted by Death, who insisted he become her disciple. The Doctor refused and asked for Death to take away his guilt, causing her to transfer the memory of committing the crime to the Master instead. The Doctor forgot he had ever made the deal.

ACADEMIC CAREER
As Romana later noted, the Doctor did not have an impressive career at school, passing his qualifying exams to become a Time Lord with only 51% - the lowest possible pass mark - on the second attempt. He attended the Time Lord Academy under the tutelage of Borusa and was a member of the Prydonian Chapter. When he was ninety he visited the Medusa Cascade, later describing himself as "just a kid" then.

At the Time Lord Academy, the Doctor belonged to a clique of ten young Time Lords with the collective name of the Deca, a group which included Koschei, later known as the Master, and Ushas, later known as the Rani. The Doctor spent "centuries" at the Academy. He was expelled for a time and relegated to traffic control for five centuries after his first encounter with the Celestial Toymaker in an act of youthful rebellion resulted in the 'deaths' of his friends Rallon and Millennia, but he returned to the Academy after receiving his doctorate in his spare time.

Sometime later in his life, the Doctor was considered a 'superior' on Gallifrey. On one instance, he saved a glowing life form from being killed by other Gallifreyans, including his old friend Magnus. Before leaving Gallifrey, the Doctor learned of the existence of the miniscopes and was outraged by their cruelty to the specimens within. He campaigned to have them banned and, despite the non-interference policy of the Time Lords, was successful. His role in banning the use of miniscopes was known throughout nine galaxies.

FAMILY LIFE
At various times, the Doctor indicated that he had at one point had a family. The Doctor was a father at one point in his life, of both "sons and daughters". The Doctor had three known grandchildren, Susan, John and Gillian.

LEAVING GALLIFREY
The Doctor broke the Time Lords' law on non-interference and faced being erased from history by his brother Braxiatel. Braxiatel allowed the Doctor to run, giving him the chance to steal a Type 40 TARDIS and escape Gallifrey. He took with him the Hand of Omega and his granddaughter, Susan. He grew a bond with this TARDIS that would last for centuries. When the Doctor first entered the TARDIS, he described it as "the most beautiful thing I ever saw".

EARLY TRAVELS
Immediately after leaving Gallifrey, the Doctor rested in the TARDIS console room, while Susan explored the TARDIS. She found a full-length mirror, and saw a pale-skinned fanged figure who vanished after telling her that she was not the one. The Doctor theorised that, since they were now travelling through time, she encountered a brief echo of another era, an event from either the future or the past. On their journeys, the Doctor and Susan travelled to Bridgetown on the planet Quinnis in the fourth universe. They nearly lost the TARDIS when it was washed away during a severe flood. They recovered it with the assistance of a huntsman named Evalihi Parch IV, who possessed an ornithopter.

The first time the Doctor met humans on the planet Iwa, he and Susan were separated. In his search for Susan, the Doctor found a human medical colony. The principal work of the facility, called "the Refuge", was to rehabilitate patients identified as "Future Deviants". By undergoing dream therapy, it was hoped that such individuals would not become criminals. The Doctor soon learned the residents were besieged by fox-like aliens who could disintegrate and reconstitute their bodies. Taking him inside their compound, the humans stripped him of his clothes and burned them, citing possible contamination by the "foxes". They gave him new clothes drawn from their own supply. This meant that he was now wearing the garb of a doctor. When they assumed that he was sent by Earth to help them, he agreed. Not wishing to give them his real name, he referenced his new clothes to derive a title: "the Doctor". The Doctor assumed this alias, because he described it as an honourable profession amongst his own people.

He agreed to help them with their "fox problem" if they would help him find his granddaughter. They discovered "Susan" had become trapped in the colonists' "dream chambers", medical devices that put patients into deep sleep and linked them in one communal dream. Inside the dream chamber, the Doctor's granddaughter met a human colonist named Jill, who promptly gave the young girl the name "Susan", after Jill's own mother. Eventually the newly-named Doctor and Susan were reunited. They helped the colonists broker an uneasy peace with the foxes. They left the colony, deciding to retain the names they had gained there. The Doctor was deeply impressed by humans during this initial encounter. He told Susan they should find a way to settle amongst them for a while, so that he could study them and they could maintain a low profile on the run from the Time Lords.

Some time after this first meeting with humans, but before taking up residence at 76 Totter's Lane, Susan and the Doctor began to study Earth and humans more closely. One of their first trips to Earth was to the British coastal town of Keelmouth in 1933. There, they vacationed at a bed and breakfast called "Bide-a-Wee". Another of its guests was a time traveller named Prentice. He had used his technology to displace Keelmouth in time; the village was in 1933, but the surrounding world was in 1999. Prentice's aims were not precisely evil — he just wanted to retire in a place where it was always a small British village in 1933 — but the Doctor and Susan had to convince Prentice to reverse the effect, because his retirement fantasy wasn't fair to the people he had trapped alongside him.

The Doctor first met then-retired Brigadier, when he saved Susan from drowning in a boating accident near his house. The Doctor and Susan went to ancient Rome, Antioch, and Jerusalem. On 16 August 1979, the dematerialisation circuit was fried while the TARDIS was orbiting Earth. The TARDIS was taken on-board a Slarvian transport, and the duo learned that the snail-like species planned to conquer Earth by hatching their eggs all over the planet. Their plan failed because the Slarvian ship crashed into the English Channel, making the threat localised to England. With the help of the humans Linda Grainger and her grandfather Edward, the Doctor and Susan stopped the Slarvian eggs from hatching.

Shortly before they settled on Totter's Lane, they unwittingly travelled to Paris in the 22nd century. They became embroiled in political intrigue in the run-up to an election in the city of Urrozdinee. Departing after the incumbent had been killed, they never quite understood that the city they had visited was what had once been known as EuroDisney. At this point, the Doctor had realised that "the TARDIS assaults the mind of anyone but its owner and his familiars." As a result, he and Susan lost their memory since they began travelling in the TARDIS. Therefore, this could prompt their search for somewhere to take residence and recover from the memory loss.

LIVING ON EARTH
Soon after this, they made a short trip to the planet Tacunda. There, they uncovered a jewel called a "Blessing Star". This crystal altered the laws of probability around the holder, essentially making their dreams come true. The Doctor tried the device, wishing that he could pilot the TARDIS to 20th century Earth. He was successful at piloting the ship for one of the only times in this incarnation's existence. Unfortunately, it completely fried the navigational system, stranding the Doctor and Susan in I.M. Foreman's junk yard in Totter's Lane, London. Several months before March 1963, the Doctor and Susan took up residence in London to allow Susan to complete her education, so the Doctor could effect repairs and build missing components for the TARDIS. While based in 1963 London, the Doctor hid the Hand of Omega. At an unknown point after his arrival in 1963, the Doctor had his first encounter with River Song, who would become his wife centuries later. He caught her sneaking around the junkyard where the TARDIS was located, but he was unaware of her identity. River ran off when she heard Susan, later writing in her diary that it was a conversation for which she was unprepared.

Soon after the time of his arrival, a Dalek had discovered him. The Doctor's seventh incarnation also appeared in his past self's life on a mission from the White Guardian to steal the TARDIS Instruction Manual. Unbeknownst to the First Doctor, the Seventh Doctor saved him from the Dalek and made off with the instruction manual in the confusion. At some point during 1963, he was placed on trial for murder as a result of killing a werewolf with a silver bullet. He was acquitted by the jury which was made up partly of his future selves, specifically his second, third, fifth and eighth incarnations.

MEETING IAN AND BARBARA
Whilst Susan attended Coal Hill School, the Doctor and she lived at 76 Totter's Lane. Two of Susan's teachers, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, followed her home and confronted the Doctor. He launched the TARDIS, kidnapping them so they couldn't tell anyone about Susan and him. They travelled to prehistoric times.

The TARDIS experienced faults at this point in its chameleon circuit and its ability to indicate its space/time coordinates. Kidnapped by a tribesman named Kal, the Doctor was brought to the Tribe of Gum. Susan, Ian and Barbara followed to save him, but Za caught them and placed them all in the Cave of Skulls. The Doctor thanked Old Mother when she freed them, but grew miserable whilst trekking through the Forest of Fear. When Za was wounded by a tiger, the Doctor initially refused to help him. He picked up a rock and was seemingly ready to kill Za, until Ian stopped him. The Doctor claimed he was about going to have the injured man draw a map back to the TARDIS. However, a meeting with his eighth incarnation in a time bubble - created when the two Doctors met - convinced him otherwise. Recaptured and placed back in the cave, the Doctor tricked Kal into revealing he had killed the Old Mother. The Doctor helped Ian with an escape plan, and the travellers made it back to the TARDIS.

FURTHER ADVENTURES
The Doctor was unable to return Ian and Barbara to their original place and time. When the TARDIS landed on Skaro, he lied about the fluid link needing mercury, when there was nothing wrong, so he could explore a nearby city. The Daleks imprisoned the Doctor and his companions inside the city, confiscating the fluid link they brought along. Having escaped, they assisted the Thals in their attack on the Dalek city. The Daleks' power supply was damaged in the attack. The Daleks died and their plans to flood the atmosphere with radiation failed. With the fluid link retrieved, the Doctor left Skaro for Earth, using the Fast Return Switch. The spring in the switch was damaged, causing it to be stuck. The TARDIS was sent to the beginning of a solar system and everyone was knocked out in the trip. The TARDIS tried warning the crew about the atoms forming around them when they came to, but the Doctor assumed that this was Ian and Barbara's sabotage of the ship. Once Barbara figured out what was going on, the Doctor fixed the spring, ending the fault.

Still heavily damaged and malfunctioning, the TARDIS found its way to Earth, but did not make it to Ian and Barbara's time, instead landing in the Plain of Pamir in 1289. There, the Doctor met Marco Polo, who took the TARDIS and its keys on his caravan the breadth of Cathay to hand to Kublai Khan as part of a bargain for his return to Venice. Along the way, the Mongol warlord Tegana, also part of Polo's caravan, tried to take the TARDIS for Nogai as part of his plan to assassinate Kublai. In the chaos of Tegana and Polo's duel in Peking, the Doctor and his companions escaped in his repaired TARDIS. The Doctor landed on an island on Marinus. Arbitan asked them to search for the keys to the reprogrammed Conscience of Marinus to regain control over the Voord, as all of his other followers and family members failed to retrieve them. Arbitan trapped the TARDIS in a forcefield, preventing the Doctor and his companions' escape. They used Arbitan's travel dials to reach Morphoton. Barbara released Arbitan's daughter, Sabetha, and the rest of the city from the Morpho's mind control, and retrieved the first key.

The Doctor jumped ahead to Millennius, the location of the final key, to find Eprin. Once Ian had found two more keys, he was knocked out and framed for Eprin's murder. The Doctor stood as defence at Ian's trial, but Ian was sentenced to death. The Doctor learnt that one of the conspirators in the murder, the prosecutor Eyesen, was ready to collect one of the keys and Ian was spared execution. The guards captured Eyesen and the last key was found in the mace that killed Eprin. The Doctor and his companions returned to Arbitan's island, where Arbitan had been murdered. Ian handed the Voord a fake key, which destroyed the Conscience, along with the Voord. They were able to leave in the TARDIS once more. The Doctor and his companions arrived in an Aztec temple in Mexico. They went through a one-way passage that prevented access to the TARDIS. Barbara posed as the Aztec god Yetaxa, with the others as her servants, to find a way back. Barbara tried and failed to change the Aztecs' history of human sacrifice for the better, which the Doctor strongly advised her against.

Susan was to be punished for denying marriage to the Perfect Victim of the Aztecs' sacrifice and Ian to be executed when he was framed by the High Priest of Sacrifice Tlotoxl for attacking the High Priest of Knowledge Autloc. Autloc's faith in Yetaxa was shattered, and he left for the wilderness. The Doctor, Ian and the Doctor's accidental fiancée Cameca distracted Ian and Susan's guard to escape. They worked on a pulley system to open the doorway back to the TARDIS. As they departed, the sacrifice of the Perfect Victim continued as planned. The Doctor landed inside a spaceship in the 28th century, where two crewmembers were suspended in a state resembling death and another, John, had had his mind opened and turned insane, following an attack on their minds by the Sensorites. The Sense Sphere, which the ship had been trapped around, had its aqueducts' water supply poisoned with atropine by survivors of a previous human expedition whose ship had been destroyed.

The TARDIS' lock was taken by the Sensorites, leaving the Doctor and his companions trapped on the spaceship. After the Doctor and his companions resisted the Sensorites, the Doctor, Ian and Susan agreed to go down to the Sense Sphere, where the Doctor worked out the cure for this "disease", which had also afflicted Ian, while the Sensorite scientists treated John. The Doctor and Ian, later followed by Barbara, went to the aqueducts where belladonna had been growing. They found the human expedition and pretended to be a welcoming party for them and that the "war" against the Sensorites was won. The expedition were taken into custody on Maitland's ship. Maitland's ship was free to leave and the TARDIS crew had regained their lock.

LEAVING SUSAN BEHIND
The Doctor and his companions also travelled into Earth's future; in London during the time of the 22nd century Dalek invasion, Susan met David Campbell, a young resistance fighter against the Daleks. Realising she would be better off not facing the dangers of travel, and recognising she was no longer a child, the Doctor reluctantly left her behind. Although he later reunited with her briefly for an adventure on Gallifrey, he continued to regret this decision for centuries to come and even slept through a materialisation because of his sorrow.

Shortly after leaving Susan in the 22nd century, the Doctor travelled to Venus three billion years in the past to attend the funeral of the Doctor's old friend Dharkhig. There, the Doctor, Ian and Barbara became embroiled in the Venusians' conflict with their would-be saviours, the Sou(ou)shi. The Doctor briefly lost Ian and Barbara as companions when they decided to settle down in 1950s Shoreditch, and he spent four months investigating the stone of Micah in 1950s Scotland. Shortly after this, Ian and Barbara had found life in the 1950s difficult to adapt to and rejoined the Doctor aboard the TARDIS.

MEETING NEW COMPANIONS
The Doctor gained a new companion in Vicki Pallister, who immediately became a surrogate for Susan. The Doctor and his companions continued to explore alien worlds and Earth's past. On one occasion they landed on Xeros, only to find their future selves exhibits in display cases. They began trying to avoid this version of the future. The Doctor was taken by the Moroks to be prepared for the exhibit but he was rescued by Ian. They were recaptured but the Xerons rebelled and freed them. Thus they prevented their own future. Following another encounter with the Daleks, the Doctor successfully programmed a Dalek time machine to take Ian and Barbara back home. At this time he gained another new companion in Steven Taylor. While his relationship with Vicki remained warm, the Doctor's relationship with Steven tended to be stressed at times. After Vicki's departure, a young woman from Troy named Katarina joined the Doctor and Steven.

TROUBLED TIMES AHEAD
Soon after, the Doctor entered into an epic struggle against the Daleks that saw the deaths of two of his companions, Katarina and Space Agent Sara Kingdom. The uneasy relationship between the Doctor and Steven became more apparent from these events. The Doctor tried to look for ways of rectifying his relationship, such as visiting a rose garden, which led to the Doctor being taken by the Time scoop to the Death Zone.

After the Daleks and Mavic Chen had been defeated, the TARDIS materialised in London in 1966. There they encounter the Fulgurites, who were involved in the trafficking of humans across the galaxy for slave labour with the full knowledge of the British government. The Doctor and Steven put an end to the Fulgurites' activities with the assistance of a young city trader named Oliver Harper, who joined the TARDIS crew. Oliver travelled with the Doctor and Steven briefly. He met his death at the hands of the Vardans on the asteroid Grace Alone in the 23rd century while saving his companions' lives.

This added additional strain to his relationship with Steven, who briefly left the TARDIS following a subsequent bloody adventure. Steven almost immediately returned however, and with new companion Dodo Chaplet, the Doctor continued their travels. Together they encountered humans from the far future, the Celestial Toymaker, famous characters from the American Wild West, and travelled to Kiev in the 13th century. It was after this struggle with the Toymaker that the Doctor felt he was nearing the end of his first life, and became increasingly unwell.

Steven eventually left the Doctor, albeit on better terms. Soon after, the Doctor was forced to leave an injured Dodo on modern-day Earth, where he picked up the final companions of his first incarnation, Polly Wright and Ben Jackson. His travels eventually led him to Earth in the late 20th century and his first encounter with the Cybermen.

DEATH
With his ancient body wearing thin, the increasingly frail Doctor matched wits with the Cybermen for the first time, an encounter which physically drained him. Hurrying back to the TARDIS he collapsed, having lost the energy needed to keep such an old body going. Before the astonished eyes of his companions, the Doctor regenerated for the first time, transforming into a new man. However, time can be funny, and he awoke in his old body after his first regeneration and was in a modern world.

Powers & Abilities
Regeneration: The Doctor is able to be killed and die, but he also has a way of cheating death and that is by regeneration. When the Doctor regenerates, not just his body, but everything about him changes. His body changes, in addition to his personality as well as habits, quirks, likes and dislikes. The only thing that does not change when he regenerates, is his knowledge.

Knowledgeable: The Doctor is very smart and a master at technology. His mind is keen, and he has many centuries of knowledge in the area of technology. He is able to pilot the TARDIS, which in and of itself amazing, as the TARDIS normally requires six people to pilot. His knowledge covers a broad area, but technology is the primary. His knowledge also covers all aspect of time and space and he can remember many things that have happened, is happening and will happen.

Hand-to-Hand: At times, when the Doctor was pressed, he would resort to hand-to-hand combat with an effectiveness which belied his age. A professional wrestler, the Mountain Mauler of Montana, had taught him some effective moves. However, he kept this to himself and this allows him to look and be considered an elderly man more than someone who can protect himself or others. He is also good with a sword, specifically a foil and can hold off people with one if the need arises.

Equipment
Sonic Screwdriver: The sonic screwdriver is a versatile tool and defensive "weapon" used by the Doctor. He used it primarily as a non-offensive tool to assist him during his adventures. During the course of his travels, most versions were either replaced or destroyed, with the latter being the most frequently occurring of the two. All models were ineffective against wood - something he found embarrassing and wished to someday overcome.

The first version and original was a small, simple device similar to a penlight, used by the First and Second Doctor. It was used by the Eighth Doctor after it was destroyed "centuries ago". He explained how this occurred to his companion Samantha Jones: "It's a Time Lord tool. Time doesn't work the same way for Time Lord tools."
 * Cracking the code for an aerodynamic shuttle.
 * Opening up hatches, panels and control panels.
 * For cutting through a section of a wall.
 * As a conventional screwdriver (without touching the screws).

TARDIS: The Time And Relative Dimension In Space or TARDIS as Susan called it when she told Ian and Barbara. The official name is a TT Capsule and it is used to observe the various species of the universe. The TARDIS is able to change its outward appearance, so as to blend in to its surroundings. However, the chameleon circuit was damaged and it was stuck in the form of a blue police call box.

Library Card: A standard Library Card, that the Doctor used as identification.

Psychological Flaws...
Keeper of Time: The doctor is one who is strict to not alter time in any way shape or form. He feels that established history should never and cannot be changed, as there will be results that can change all of time. Time must be kept the way it is, or else it could be dangerous to the Universe and all life within the Universe.

Attitude: He is one who is sarcastic towards those around him, and he seemingly elevates himself above lesser intellects. However, he is also one who will save those who are in need of saving, like when he saw what was happening to the "savages" and joined them against the Elders. He also does not approve of bias based on appearance, as it is unwelcome for people to be like that.

Physical Flaws...
Mortal: The Doctor is mortal and as a human as can be. Anything that will kill a Human can in theory kill the Doctor, although it may take longer. Due to this, he will be forced to regenerate into a new body and will have to deal with all the issue of having a new body as well as personality.

Rheumatism: The Doctor suffered from Rheumatism, that flared up if he was exposed to cold, something that could happen as he got older. Rheumatism is marked by inflammation and pain in the joints, muscles, or fibrous tissue, esp. rheumatoid arthritis. Now rather the Doctor does suffer from this or if it is an act is still unknown.

Regeneration Sickness: When he regenerates, the Doctor has a tendency of either being aloof or goofy. This is how he adjusts to a new body. However, this sickness changes with each Regeneration, so it varies.

Other Flaws...
Habits and Quirks: The First Doctor punctuated his speech with, "Hmmmm...?", exasperated sighs and snorts and the occasional mangled phrase or word. He would address young women as "child" and younger men as "my boy", or in Ian's case by his name.
