The Dishonored Doctor
"Being a hero? It’s not about perfection. Mistakes happen—plenty of them in my case. Dwelling on them changes nothing. So, here I am, moving forward, doing what needs to be done. A universe to salvage, lives to save, hope to sprinkle around like some intergalactic fairy godparent. Sound fun? Yeah, it’s not."

Personality
Early Personality:
In the beginning, the Dishonoured Doctor was defined by their exceptional intellect and sharp strategic mind, skills that earned them a reputation as both a brilliant tactician and diplomat. Their approach was analytical and detached, often processing information with astonishing speed, which allowed them to outthink opponents with ease. However, this intelligence fuelled a marked impatience and disdain for others' limitations, creating a sense of arrogance that often surfaced in their interactions. Though polite and charming on the surface, they kept others at a strategic distance, viewing emotional connections as distractions. During this period, they were deeply distrustful of authority and often disregarded rules, preferring instead to follow their own code. They moved through the universe with a calculated yet restless spirit, frequently engaging in high-stakes challenges to satiate their need for stimulation. Their sharp wit and dark humour served as both a shield and a weapon, allowing them to maintain an air of mystery and ward off others who might pry too deeply into their emotions.
Later Personality:
Over time, the Dishonoured Doctor softened, though only slightly, evolving from a purely strategic mind into a figure capable of nuanced emotional understanding—albeit often hidden under layers of sarcasm and wit. They still exude charm and politeness, but with a tempered edge, using their diplomacy as a tool to navigate complex situations with greater ease. Their simmering anger remains, though it has become more restrained, manifesting as a sly sharpness rather than outright disdain. When provoked, their temper flares with controlled ferocity, revealing a fierce determination that they have learned to channel more effectively. Now, they possess a newfound cheekiness and a relaxed demeanour that allows them to adapt and improvise with ease, turning every setback into an opportunity. While still cautious in forming close relationships, they have come to accept a handful of trusted allies, allowing them to see a glimmer of the guarded vulnerability that they keep hidden. Their loyalty, once buried beneath layers of pragmatism, has deepened, making them willing to take personal risks for those few they truly value.
Approach to Problems
The Dishonoured Doctor’s approach to challenges has always combined intellect, charm, and strategic finesse, though it has evolved with time. Initially, they tackled problems with a cold, calculated precision, often manipulating events and people without hesitation. Their strategic mind allowed them to stay several steps ahead, analyzing every move and anticipating their adversaries’ intentions. They saw conflicts as puzzles to solve and people as pieces to position, ensuring that every action served a purpose.
In their later years, their tactics softened, shifting to a more fluid, almost playful approach. Their charm and quick wit became more prominent, masking their intentions and keeping opponents off balance. They have mastered the art of diplomacy, capable of disarming tensions with a casual demeanor while still maintaining a strategic advantage. Even in moments of conflict, they adopt a relaxed posture, giving nothing away while constantly calculating and adjusting, ready to exploit any vulnerability that appears.
Notable Achievements
The Dishonored Doctor’s legacy is defined by their remarkable achievements, showcasing their unique blend of intellect, charm, and strategic genius. As a master of diplomacy, they brokered peace between warring factions, using their wit and charisma to forge alliances that transitioned from pragmatic arrangements to genuine efforts for harmony. Their strategic brilliance turned the tide in countless conflicts, employing unorthodox tactics to outmaneuver seemingly insurmountable opponents. In their early years, their methods were cold and calculating; later, they became more inventive, blending humor and cunning to outthink adversaries. Over time, they rose to legendary status, earning respect and fear throughout the cosmos. While their reputation was initially a deliberate construct, it eventually became a natural extension of their actions, cementing their place as one of the universe’s most formidable and transformative figures.

BIOGRAPHY
EARLY LIFE
​
Post-Regeneration
Crash-landing the TARDIS in London on Christmas Eve, 1984, the Doctor’s new incarnation was already scarred by the trauma of the Eternal War, a conflict so devastating that his previous body had taken its own life to escape its horrors. Hiding his pain behind biting wit and sarcasm, the Doctor’s righteous anger and calculated recklessness emerged as he struggled with the contradictions of his past. (Audio: The Winter's Edge) Attempting to lay low, he was soon confronted by The Hunter, a relentless robotic hitman sent to collect a bounty on his head for being the “biggest criminal in the universe.” Though the Doctor rejected the title, he knew it was tied to the war he was desperate to forget. (Audio: The Winter's Edge)
​
Joined by Jade Scott, a rebellious student intrigued by the Doctor’s mystery, the pair evaded The Hunter through the snowy streets of London. Despite the Doctor’s emotional distance and reluctance to speak of the war, Jade’s quick thinking and resourcefulness proved invaluable in staying one step ahead of the assassin. (Audio: The Winter's Edge) Their tense showdown on the roof of a derelict, Christmas-decorated warehouse ended with Jade and the Doctor pushing The Hunter off a roof, neutralizing the threat. However, the Doctor realized that the bounty on his head was only the beginning of a larger danger tied to the Eternal War. (Audio: The Winter's Edge) While Jade remained by his side, the Doctor began to understand that while his past could not be erased, his future might still offer redemption—if he was willing to confront the truth. (Audio: The Winter's Edge)
​​​​
The Edge of Forever
Still haunted by the shadows of his past, the Dishonoured Doctor took Jade to the far future, to the very edge of the universe, where they discovered an endless void of blackness stretching into eternity. Fascinated by the quiet isolation in stark contrast to the chaos of his life, the Doctor quickly sensed something was wrong. Within the void stirred an ancient and malevolent force, long-hidden and intent on escaping its prison of darkness. Attaching itself to the TARDIS in a subtle, insidious way, the entity began infiltrating the ship, distorting its systems and corrupting its core. (Audio: The Edge of Forever)
​
As the TARDIS turned increasingly unstable, the Doctor and Jade worked together to prevent the entity from breaking free into their universe. With reality itself twisting under the force’s influence, the Doctor’s immense knowledge and Jade’s resourcefulness became their only hope. (Audio: Corrupted Core) In a harrowing climax, the Doctor used his mastery of the TARDIS to sever the entity’s connection, trapping it once more in the void. Jade’s belief in the Doctor proved instrumental in anchoring him during the struggle. (Audio: The Edge of Forever))
​
Emerging shaken but victorious, the Doctor and Jade’s bond deepened, yet the Doctor could not shake the realization that this entity was just a glimpse of the greater cosmic threats lurking beyond the universe—forces that defy understanding and could threaten reality itself. (Audio: The Edge of Forever)
