long story short, the doctor is an alien from a planet called gallifrey. he's called a time lord, so named for his ability to travel backwards and forwards through time (and space), and is ~sensitive to time anomalies and the like. his kind also have the ability to 'regenerate', so they live for a very, very long time.

this doctor (not his real name) is in his "eleventh" regeneration (bit complicated, but we're not gonna get into it unless it comes up in threads!) and has the exuberance and infinite energy of a ... 12 year old, but it's fine. he's got two hearts (true) and twenty-seven brains (probably not true), and is incredibly amiable, quick to jump into literally any situation, and is, in his words: here to help. however, because he's now about 2,100 years old, he's been doing this for a very long time. sometimes this shows. sometimes he'll redouble his efforts not to let it show. but generally he's here for a good time — and to undo his regret.

speaking of! his greatest regret hasn't changed even after his canon update. being so attached to the ponds, he still fully blames himself for their incredibly unfair deaths. he doesn't want to erase their relationship, of course, but he'll want to bring them back and give them the life that was robbed from them. (and a part of him really doesn't think any of this is possible either, so. you know.)

- i'm here to keep that good development coming! i've been #blessed with so many opportunities for a lot of his cr to move past 'hey there's that nerd who talks a lot!' and really get to know the doc, and i'm here to just keep working on it
- absolutely here for any and all of silly/serious/emotional/ridiculous Shenanigans (tm)
- new people he can annoy
- old people he can still annoy
- family ;;
- not really here for negative cr but i love complicated, deep cr so hmu with that

five missions completed with about 85-90% success! (a couple of planets were left in less than awesome shape) this last one was a bit of a doozy, and came right at the cusp of the doctor getting a reset. he's between being regenerated and being reset so he had a little bit of an existential moment.

he's really started to develop a circle of close friends and people he'll regularly check up on, which is great! i'm super happy with that! but one of those people (a certain nerdy doctor newton geiszler) is starting to worry him ... and he has no idea why. hmmm. also there were four attempts on his life last mission! and he has no idea who could be responsible for that either. 🤔
