CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: The Eleventh Doctor.
Canon: Doctor Who.
Reference Link: Wiki link for the Doctor / and for Eleven specifically

Character History: The Doctor was born on the planet of Gallifrey. After the test of looking into the Untempered Schism, a crack in space and time, he was accepted into the Academy for young Time Lords where he was trained into duty and spent about a hundred years (a Time Lord adolescence) learning about the universe and how best to be its guardian.

Unusually brilliant even for his species, the Doctor quickly rose through the ranks. As he grew older, he took the moniker of The Doctor. Eventually he stole a clunky old TARDIS (one of the living time/space machines Time Lords traveled in) and broke free of the Academy to adventure across the universe. Mostly what he did was find a human to tag along with him - the first one was his grand-daughter, Susan Foreman - and explore the universe, always willing to get caught up in trouble or fix problems when they arose. His companions throughout the years were a variety of (mostly) young (mostly) human (mostly) women, and they kept him in check when his arrogance got the better of him, and stopped him being too lonely.

After about 600 years and multiple regenerations, the Doctor was conscripted to fight in the Time War that was raging throughout time and space. He fought with the Time Lords against the Daleks (angry Nazi pepperpots) and watched as endless war took its toll; both on the lesser lifeforms caught up in its grand scale, and on his people as they became more desperate and crazed and less and less empathic. Eventually the Doctor ended the Time War by destroying both sides; committing mass genocide against the Daleks and the people, and he watched his planet burn.

Now the last of his kind, the Doctor kept traveling went on, sad and alone, feeling like he destroyed everything he touched and filled with Existential Angst. He made some questionable moral decisions and almost went to a very dark place, but regenerated into a man who embodied his more childlike qualities: his Eleventh incarnation.

Personality:
The Doctor's personality changes with every regeneration into a new self. However, he is always adventurous and curious. His intelligence means he can come off as a bit of a geek and his heritage makes him arrogant. There isn't a lot he is afraid of, and he carries a lot of the baggage of his previous regenerations; lost loves, lost species, etc. He is almost always someone who would try to do good, and never the kind of person that would stick around to get thanked (or deal with the clean-up.)

Overall, he's a lot more abrupt than his recent incarnations were; his body language is very in your face and in your space, and he is unabashedly alien, occasionally showing off his intelligence or technology or abilities with a bit of melodramatic flair. Neither does he hide his emotions unless it is for the greater good, usually free with his anger and glee. He'll happily boast about his reputation, his feats, his achievements. This arrogance also means he will not stand to be manipulated or told what to do. He loves shocking people, and he challenges people to meet him on their own terms.

Eleven tends to give people the tools to be brilliant and then stand back and see what they do. But then when people don't meet his expectations or do as he says he can get testy. He's rude and doesn't feel the need to mince words when he doesn't have to, and is very willing to remind humans of their own flaws. But he's never really cruel. He doesn't seem to give second chances and while he has a short temper it usually appears in a brief storm of yelling then dissipates. Though he has shed many of his earlier incarnations' guilt complexes, he doesn't enjoy being belittled, either. But then, who does?

Despite this, Eleven is the most self-deprecating of the Doctors: while the character has always displayed traits of self-disgust on occasion, particularly after the genocide of the Time Lords and the loss of companions, Eleven genuinely seems to believe he is not a good man and is willing to list his flaws and his failures. There is an entire episode (Amy's Choice) which revolves around the idea that no-one else in the entire universe hates the Doctor as much as he hates himself.

Finally, he really seems to love adventure, especially the improvisation of it, throwing himself into it with a childlike recklessness (that often hides a grander scheme) and a shout of: Geronimo! Like with all the other Doctor's, when you travel with Eleven, there will always be a lot of running.
