::Info::
Family:
Granddaughter: Susan (location unknown)
Personality:
This Doctor much preferred to be a lover and not a fighter. He sought the peaceful ways out of situation, trying his best to avoid conflict as much as possible. He also had a newfound youth and charm that came more in handy than normal.
Strengths:
This Doctor has a knack for seeing the humanity in something. He also can weasel his way out of situations with small talk, playing dumb, and pretending to be clever. He has a certain charm that radiates about him, letting others seem to think he isn't a threat.
Weakness:
This Doctor hates sarcasm and levity. He has unusual mood swings, never appreciating when his companions could keep up with him. He definitely had a love for humans that often got in the way.
Likes:
Cricket of course! He also enjoys technology, and fiddling with gizmos. He is dumbfounded by simplicity and often tries his best to see the light in dark situations.
Dislikes:
Cybermen for many reasons. Evil meglomaniacs drive him batty. If you're going to plan evil domination, please don't be predictable. It's not that hard to figure out your plans, you know.
Dream: There has to be more of a simpler kind in the universe...
History:
"
This is the end....but it has been prepared for...."
As the fourth incarnation of the Doctor lay under a massive fall from a radio telescope, the timelord merged with a mysterious entity known only as the Watcher. The Doctor gave a brief smile, and was surrounded by bright light. Where curly hair and teeth once laid, now was replaced by blond locks and youth.
“
Ah. You’ve come to help me find the Zero Room. Welcome aboard. I’m the Doctor. Or will be if this regeneration works out.”
The merging regeneration fuddled up the regeneration sequence. This Doctor was struggling to find stability. He sought out the only place in the TARDIS where he knew he would be able to find peace: The Zero Room. While in there, Nyssa and Teagen received a message from Adric, who was under the command of the Master.
The Doctor ventured into the TARDIS, finding the athletics room. Upon entering the room, he found his old cricketeering outfit. He donned the question mark shirt, his sandshoes, the frock, and a stylish pair of trousers. This surely was a better choice than the burgundy mess he previously wore.
The Doctor, upon finding out of the message from Adric and the Master, then requested audience with the castle of Castrovalva, where he knew he would be able to refresh his memory safely and out of the grasps of the Master. While there, he was able to collect knowledge, defeat the Master, and rescue Adric.
While leaving Castrovalva Castle, the Doctor trapped the Master in a time trap, sending him into a muddled mess of time locks. The Doctor, awfully proud of himself, pinned a stalk of celery to his lapel, completing the look that became iconic.
The next big milestone the Doctor faced was with some old adversaries: the Cybermen. The Doctor faced a terrible decision between destroying humanity or giving in to the Cybermen's demands. This is where he first realizes he has changed. Where a confrontational, willing-to-fight Doctor once stood now radiated a peace-seeking, passive Doctor. He wanted peace and kindness with all. He fought for the lives of the humans he was with. This terrible interaction ended with the humans escaping, and Adric staying behind on the ship now barreling for a primitive Earth.
Adric sacrificed his life for the safety and progress of humanity. The Doctor would never forget this...
Things only seemed to get worse for this optimistic Doctor. Nyssa decided to leave the Doctor at the expense of helping save humanity once more. The Doctor was left alone with Teagen, with whom he didn't care very much for.
While visiting a mysterious alternate universe, the Doctor stumbled upon a non-native humanoid named Vislor Turlough, whose intentions were malicious, taking orders directly from the Black Guardian, who sought out to destroy the Doctor. Turlough became a long-running companion until returning to his home planet.
While the Doctor was with Teagen and Turlough, the Doctor experienced a vicious mastermind pulling his former incarnations out of their respective timelines to fight several of their most vile enemies in the War Zone on Gallifrey. This is where he experienced the horrible game of Rassilon. His former incarnations eventually saved the day, causing the Doctor to be dubbed President elect of Gallifrey, only to give the temporary power to his vice-president and not return again until his Sixth incarnation.
While fighting a nasty infestation of Daleks, Teagen decided to leave the Doctor indefinitely, for she had had enough of the running and fighting. The Doctor then picked up the delightful Perpugilliam Brown, otherwise known as Peri. Peri was his last companion on Androzonni Major, where he and Peri were caught in an unkindly mining operation.
While on Androzanni Major, the Doctor explained that the celery he was wearing was a warning device, claiming he was allergic to certain gasses of the Praxis range. In the presence of those gasses, the celery would turn purple. "Then I eat it. And if it doesn't cure me, then at least it'll be good for my teeth!"
Both he and Peri caught radiation poisoning while in the mines. Unfortunately the Doctor only had one dose of the cure, and gave it to his companion. He then collapsed, only to be surrounded by the images of his former companions.
“
I might regenerate. I don’t know. Feels different this time…Adric?”

The Doctor stood face to face with his old enemy, Morbius. Between him and the monster, was a bomb with an ultra-sensitive detonator and a clock that was ticking down to zero. "Well Doctor, what is your choice: give me your remaining lives or having both of us go up in rubble?"
"
You leave me no choice, Morbius. I have to comply. I have no other choice. Except..."
"Except what Doctor?"
"
Except that you forgot who you're talking to. I've fought cybermen, Daleks, Davros, even Ice Warriors. You've seemed to have forgotten that I've seen this played out several times for my own good."
"WHAT?!"
The Doctor pulled out his trusty sonic and blasted the device. A small poof of smoke wafted up from the device, and shut down the device completely. "
Easy as pie!"
