History
The Doctor is an alien from Gallifrey. His people are a humanoid species, called Time Lords because they have perfected the science of time travel. The Doctor is fond of Earth and visits it often.
The Time Lords have a strict nonintervention policy with regard to the rest of the universe. The Doctor dissented from this policy, holding that great power confers great responsibility. For this heresy the Time Lords exiled him from Gallifrey. He has since traveled through space and time to battle evil wherever he finds it. Sometimes the fate of the universe hangs in the balance.Attributes
Powers
Gallifreyans age backwards. Also, when one body wears out or is damaged beyond repair, a Gallifreyan can regenerate, that is, rejuvenate him/herself with a new, younger body. The process is not without risk, however. The new self may experience a period of amnesia, lasting as long as a hundred years. Also, the new self often has a personality different from the old, and it may take a while for that personality to stabilize. Because the Doctor is a veteran time traveller, someone in the present may encounter any one of his regenerations; therefore, his appearance may vary from one meeting to the next. In fact, one may encounter multiple regenerations at the same time; it doesn't happen often, though, because they tend to get on each other's nerves.
Regeneration (see above), fast healing, telepathy, precognition, chrono-senitivity (ability to perceive the flow of time), speed reading, able to put himself into comas.Abilities
