CHARACTER Name: The War Doctor. We're at the name and it's already complicated. None of the Doctors from 9 upwards count this one as a "Doctor" due to his actions. Even the War Doctor agrees with that. However, he's referred to by the end of Day of the Doctor by his name, and is listed as the War Doctor in all written formats. Just to make it even more complicated, upon regenerating into the War Doctor, he states he's a "Doctor no more" and is known to the Time Lords as the "Renegade". Apparently being the Doctor during the Time War and committing mass genocide gives you name-perks. Canon: Doctor Who. Age: Physically in his late sixties or early seventies. Mentally? Apparently not even he knows. The estimate would be in the late 800's early 900's but that is grasping at straws. The reason being that the Doctor can't keep his age right in his own head. Timeline: Before his regeneration in Day of the Doctor. However, one thing to note is that he should not be able to remember attempting to save Gallifrey; it was a given that all the Doctors minus Eleven would forget the actions they had done that day due to separate time streams. So the War Doctor will have memories of the weapon and deciding to use it, and then being back in his TARDIS. If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?:N/A
Personality:"War Doctor: No more."
The War Doctor, unlike his other selves, is most likely winner of the 'most grim Doctor' award. And that all boils down to the situation he has found himself in. Above all else, this Doctor is a fighter, a warrior. When the Eighth regenerated, it was with the determination that the next one be the warrior the Time War needed, and they didn't get it wrong. The War Doctor is smart and tactical, he's able to break into the Omega vault on Gallifrey and escape with The Moment with seemingly little issue. He knows what it is and what it does too, showing a grim determination to end the Time War. He's a tired Doctor, having seen a lot of things with the eyes he currently has. Upon his "birth" the War Doctor was actually young, which means that he's been in the War in that current incarnation for quite some time, lending credit to the fact he's smart enough to survive for that long in a desperate situation. He'd seen enough to know that killing all Time Lords and Daleks was the only way of saving the universe, showing that grim determination- that no matter how much he doesn't like it, and the fact it's going to kill him, he's going to do it.
"Tenth Doctor: You were The Doctor on the day it wasn't possible to get it right."
It's a known fact that the later incarnations of the Doctor shun the War Doctor, claiming that he isn't even a Doctor due to his actions. Not until the end of the movie of course. And it's something that the War Doctor actually agrees with. This Doctor is someone who looks before he leaps, mulling over actions before doing them. Whilst Ten and Eleven show kneejerk reactions, War Doctor is more just standing there, making pointed remarks on the other two's actions instead. Thus it comes back to the Time War. The War Doctor knows what he is doing is mass genocide. Even when he knows just how many billions of children there are on Gallifrey, or how it affects his later incarnations and their actions, he is still going to press that button. It is for the greater good. War Doctor knows what he's doing is heinous, there's no shame in admitting that. In fact, at one point he defends what was done, stating there was no choice in his actions. The War Doctor does not make excuses, and he sure doesn't gild the lily.
"War Doctor: Oh the pointing again. They're screwdrivers! What are you going to do? Assemble a cabinet at them?"
Time War aside, War Doctor does have personality other than the dark stuff. He is seemingly easily exasperated, especially by his two other selves and the things they come out with. War Doctor also has no issue in scolding the pair either. Timey-Wimey? The pair of them obviously need to stop acting like children. Even towards the end of the show, when the other two Doctor's shout out their 'battlecries', War Doctor can't help but roll his eyes and mutter "for God sake" before throwing in one of his own. The War Doctor has a serious frame of mind, and so the antics of his other selves appear childish and silly to him. It's not exactly a surprise though when this Doctor was born during the Time War to end it.
"Clara: Hang on, three of you in one cell and none of you thought to try the door? War Doctor: It should have been locked. Eleven: Yes, exactly. Why wasn't it locked?"
Despite the seriousness, the War Doctor does have some levity down there and it bubbles to the surface on occasion. When Ten is stating he is not wearing sand shoes, War Doctor is quick to jump in stating that they are. His sense of humour is dry, his sarcasm sharp. The War Doctor seems to like his quick witted comments, especially when it's directed at his older selves. It's not too often this happens, but it is there. And once it's revealed the destruction of Gallifrey doesn't happen, the War Doctor is much more relaxed, smiling and (still) enjoys tormenting his two older selves. He's fine with giving Clara a hug and a peck on the cheek, the weight is off his shoulders which shows that the War Doctor is carrying a heavy burden with the Time War event.
"War Doctor: We might as well get started. Help to pass the timey-wimey. Do you have to talk like children? What is it that makes you so ashamed of being a grown-up? Oh. The way you both look at me. I'm trying to think of a better word than "dread."
Overall, the War Doctor is a smart man. He knows exactly why the two others are looking at him with dread, making a point of bringing up the elephant in the room. There are moments where the actual Doctor in him shines through too, showing that he can make mad calculations in his mind. And despite being blunt and to the point, the War Doctor also knows when to keep his mouth shut. It would have been all to easy to say he hadn't destroyed Gallifrey yet, but that just wasn't on the cards. It was better to just take the negativity and blame for something he had not yet done, he'd deserve it in his mind. He can also be civilized when needed, being a complete gentleman for anyone that isn't the Doctor.
