Personality The Fourth Doctor is a natural bohemian who permanently left UNIT in order to return to a life of deep universal wandering. Moreso than his previous incarnations, he is thrilled by discovery and adventure. Galvanised by higher purpose, he is disarmingly loopy (constantly offering friends and foes jelly babies), brilliant and entirely serious, all at the same time. To an extent, the Fourth Doctor is the most unpredictable of his incarnations, befuddling all with his intelligence, constantly leaving others wondering if they have his full attention and using his more off the wall mannerisms against adversaries to distract them while arranging to take control of the situation. His keen judge of character also enables him to navigate his way through situations with new people, helping him to discern friend from foe. Although he prefers his brain over his brawn, he is a capable swordsman and wrestler.

Despite his charm and offbeat humour, the Fourth Doctor is arguably more aloof and somber than his previous incarnations. He could become intensely brooding, serious and even callous, and would keenly scrutinise his surroundings even when playing the fool. He could also be furious with those he saw as stupid, frivolous, misguided or evil. He openly maintained his distance from the Time Lords. Not only did he seem more inclined towards a solitary existencehe also emphasised his distance from humanity, although he stated on more than one occasion that he found humankind to be his favourite species.

Special Skills

HistoryThe Third Doctor regnerated into the fourth in the UNIT headquarters after contracting radiation poisoning on the planet Metebelis 3. The newly regenerated Doctor was delirious at first, waking up to spout random lines from past adventures before falling unconscious again. The Brigadier summoned the base medical officer, Lieutenant Harry Sullivan to take the Doctor to sickbay and care for him.

Once he was well enough from his regeneration to stand up, the Fourth Doctor ran off to escape in the TARDIS. Immediately, he was stopped by Harry, who informed him that he was the doctor and was giving him order to get back to sickbay. The Fourth Doctor answered “You may be A Doctor but I am THE Doctor. The definite article you could say!”

Harry would not let the Doctor leave, however. Seeing no other option, the Fourth Doctor grabbed a long cord and started using it as a jump-rope, singing “Mother, mother, I feel sick! Send for the Doctor, quick! Quick! Quick! Mother, dear, shall I die? Yes, my darling, by-and-by! One, Two, Three, Four …” Harry was so confused by this behavior that he didn’t know what was coming until it was too late. Within moments, the Doctor had decked him and tied him up with the makeshift jump rope.

Fortunately, Brigadier Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and Sarah Jane Smith were able to reach the Doctor just before he left and enlist his help on a matter of international security. The Fourth Doctor agreed to help as soon as he found suitable clothing. At first, he came out of the TARDIS in the armor of a Viking warrior. When the Brigadier reminded him that U.N.I.T. was a security organization, he asked with concern, “You think I might attract attention?” The Brigadier muttered, “It’s just possible.” The Fourth Doctor tried on several outlandish outfits until finally settling upon a more bohemian look with trousers, a waist-coat, a large hat and a scarf that measured roughly 14 feet in length.

In his new incarnation, the Doctor drew back from continuous involvement with UNIT (with which he had worked closely as the Third Doctor) and the Time Lords. The Time Lords continued to send him on occasional missions, including an attempt to prevent the creation of the Daleks during which he also met a new adversary, Davros. The Fourth Doctor travelled with Sarah Jane, whom he had befriended prior to his regeneration, and for a time with Harry Sullivan.

The Doctor's companionship with Sarah ended when he received a telepathic summons to Gallifrey, as humans were not then allowed on the planet. The summons was part of a trap set by his enemy the Master, who had used up all his regenerations and become little more than a withered husk. The Master framed the Doctor for the assassination of the President of the High Council of Time Lords. In order to avoid execution the Doctor invoked an obscure law and declared himself a candidate for the office, giving himself the time he needed to defeat the Master.

The Doctor then travelled alone for the first time in many years, returning to a planet he had visited centuries before. During his previous visit, he had accidentally imprinted a human colony ship's powerful computer, Xoanon, with his own mind, leaving it with multiple personalities. On his second visit the Doctor was remembered as an evil god by the descendants of the colonists, some of whom had become a warrior tribe called the Sevateem. After the Doctor cured the computer, one of the Sevateem, Leela, joined him on his travels. The Doctor bringed the intelligent but uneducated Leela to many locales in human history, teaching her about science and her own species' past. In Victorian London, the pair encountered the magician Li Hsien Chang and his master, the self-styled Weng-Chiang. Later, the Doctor and Leela visited the Bi-Al Foundation medical centre, where they acquired the robot dog K-9.

The Doctor returned to Gallifrey and declared himself Lord President, based on the election held during his previous visit. This was a ploy to reveal and defeat a Sontaran invasion plan. Leela and K-9 decided to remain on Gallifrey; the Doctor comforted himself by producing K-9 Mark II.

Shortly afterwards, the powerful White Guardian assigned the Doctor to find the six segments of the Key to Time, sending a young Time Lady named Romana to assist him. The two Gallifreyans found the six segments and defeated the equally powerful Black Guardian, who sought the Key for himself. After the conclusion of the quest, Romana regenerated into a new form.

Role Play Sample The Doctor walked around the TARDIS console, pulling a few levers. Every now and then his hand went down into his pocket to pick up a Jelly baby. He'd dropped Romana off at Gallifrey for a while, but had decided not to stay there himself. He pulled another lever.
