[CANON] The War Doctor || Doctor Who|| reserve || 1 of ?

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.
[CANON] The War Doctor || Doctor Who|| reserve || 2 of 2
Abilities: The Doctor doesn't really tend to have abilities per say, but he does have some attributes if that makes sense. Firstly the Doctor is smart, he can work things out at a breakneck speed and then some more. His understanding of time and space goes beyond the norm, and has a good grasp on what cause and effect really is about. There's also the sonic screwdriver, a metal screwdriver that can scan objects and give whatever readings needed on them. It can also manipulate most things, except for wood. There's also some slight telepathy which is rarely used, and all the quirks of having two hearts, making him somewhat more resilient than the average human.
First Person: [It's prudent to use text when you're not 100% on what you're dealing with.]
Really? What a load of nonsense. I suppose this is the point where I'm meant to ask where I am. And I doubt it's the first time you've heard that one. So good time of day to you. By this point you probably have some welcome parties set up, so feel free to let them send their information to me on these devices. It would be prudent and helpful of course.
That or you could leave me to just wander around. Wouldn't be the first time.
Do I have to start with the basics? If so, then where's the exit? I don't really have time to be doing this in a place I'm not needed in.
Third Person: (taken from Asgard, will be happy to write a new one out if needed.)
It was pretty clever what had happened. Even the War Doctor had to admit that one. Not only had he been moved to another place, but it had been done at such the perfect time. Painlessly, soundless, it was definitely well done. And that made it all the more bothersome. The War Doctor shook his head as he eyed his surroundings, hands clasped behind his back. One moment he'd been in his TARDIS, the next right here in Asgard. There'd been no noise or build up; it had just simply happened. And that made it a problem, a big one. It was the War Doctor's opinion that nothing ever just happened. Sure there were reasons for it- like the ones he'd heard on arriving, vague as they were- but the physics of it all bothered him. The amount of energy needed for such a pull would have been astronomical. Such a seamless event....
At the end of it all, the outcome of winding up in a new place really didn't make much difference. The War Doctor wouldn't have batted an eyelid if a meteor hurtled from the heavens, striking them all down. Not after the heinous thing he had done. The most terrible of all things. He had pressed the button that wiped out Gallifrey. Not only Gallifrey but it's billions of inhabitants, Time Lords and Daleks (the latter not a major loss). At the end of the day it had been the only option. Destroy the galaxy that Gallifrey resided in, or let the Time War destroy all of reality. Yet as much as the War Doctor thought that to himself, it didn't lessen the pain in his hearts any. Those were his people, the large majority of them innocent of all things. Mothers, fathers, children, all gone and he had been the one to do it. The War Doctor sighed inwardly, wondering if he would ever come to terms with it. It was such a dreadful event he could barely even remember doing it. It was clear as day- the reasoning, stealing the Moment and taking it to the abandoned hut. God, he could even remember the Interface talking to him. About what though was vague, and the War Doctor knew the rest was blanked out. Perhaps that was for the best in the end. Who would want to remember causing mass genocide to begin with? It had been the right thing to do, and there was nothing anyone in the Universe could say to change that.
No-one could say anything to change it.
The punishment for such a thing was to survive. The War Doctor could remember that part, and what a punishment it was. He'd had every intention of going down with the planet, and now he had to see the rammifications of his actions for the rest of his days. And what days those would be, if they were going to be spent in Asgard. Norse mythology was always a strange read even on a good day. The War Doctor had no illusions this was going to be easy, but it sure would be a good distraction from the whirlwind of thoughts in his mind over Gallifrey. He would need information first. That would be the important bit. Information and lodgings. Since his TARDIS wasn't around the War Doctor knew he would have to get used to every day things. That was until he found his way out. Then who knew?
"Perhaps a beach and some sunshine," the War Doctor muttered to himself, casting an eye the bracelet he'd been given. Simple device, user friendly. Everyone was probably joined up through a network of sorts. That was another disturbing thought. If he'd been given one of these bracelets and some basic information, then that meant there were others around. Other people pulled in from all reaches of the universe. Probably all reaches of time as well. Just what kind of issue did the Asguardians have that would warrant such a tactic? Whatever it was, it reeked of desperation. This wasn't going to be pretty. It would probably be hard work, tedious and a pain in the backside. Between the end of the Time War and Asgard, it had all the chances of causing a midlife crisis.
The War Doctor looked forwards to it, and unlike his successors he didn't need a shouted catchphrase to show his enthusiasm. Just the slightest curl of his lips would do.
