The 7th Doctor Bio.........

The Seventh Doctor

Photobucket

1987-1989 & 1996

Regeneration:

It has been suggested (mostly through journeys through the Doctor's psyche) that his sixth self forced a regeneration in his seventh persona because he was too out of control, and was heading down the road to become the Valeyard.

Regardless, when the TARDIS was attacked by the Rani, the Doctor hit his head on the console, and regenerated for a sixth time - allowing his seventh persona to come into being. Following his regeneration he had a slightly comic personality, due mostly to post-regenerative trauma.

Appearence:

The Doctor's outfit in this incarnation was calmer than his previous attire ("Thank goodness in this regeneration I've regained my impeccable sense of haute couture"), but as idiosyncratic as any other.

It consisted of a long off-white jacket with a red paisley scarf worn under its lapels and a matching handkerchief in one of the pockets, a lapel chain, a shirt, a red paisley tie, a yellow and green tank top adorned with red question marks, sand-coloured plaid trousers, white/brown two tone brogue shoes, a Panama hat with an upturned brim and an umbrella with a red question mark-shaped handle.

Personality:

The personality of the seventh Doctor was originally much more light-hearted and prone to clownish behavior, which masked the Doctor's intellect and courage against evil. However, this was ultimately dropped during the second season as the character took a much darker turn. This "darker" revamp would come to define the character, as the Seventh Doctor became a master manipulator who saw the battle between good and evil as a game of chess and everyone around him as pawns, to be manipulated in the pursuit of stopping evil.

Other personalities we see in the 7th Doctor:
  • Dark
  • Ruthless
  • Manipulitave
