Eighth's Doctor's Biography
A note on Eight's canon - I am taking as canon only Eight's TV and audio appearances. The second link unfortunately conflates Eight's prose history into his TV and audio history, so all prose references in it are not, in fact, part of Eight's history as I am playing himEven though he hasn't gotten to any of that history at his canon point.
Personality:
While the Doctor had gone through as many personalities as he has faces, there are some things that are always the same: his love of travelling and adventure, his wit and intelligence, and his role as a heroic figure. The same is true of his Eighth incarnation, although he certainly has his own quirks as well. The Doctor left his home planet to see the universe back in his first incarnation, and he hasn't stopped dashing around it since. As far as the Doctor is concerned, falling feet-first into trouble, running for his life, and nearly dying on a regular basis is a lot of the fun of travelling around the universe, and he wouldn't have it any other way. He can even find monstrous creatures that are in the process of trying to kill him wonderful and amazing - let alone the rest of the universe. And the Eighth Doctor in particular is particularly characterised by an ability to find wonder in the universe, including even in small, ordinary, every-day things.
But when the Doctor does, inevitably, run into trouble, he always aims to use his wits and intelligence to solve problems, rather than any kind of violence. This doesn't mean he'll never resort to it, but it takes a pretty extreme situation for him to do so, and it's always a very last resort. Violence is something the Doctor detests, and while previous incarnations haven't been quite so against it, the Eighth Doctor is, very much so. His dislike of violence also extends to him having an extreme dislike of guns - although sometimes the necessity of them can lead to him doing some rather odd things, like refusing to call a device that effectively acts like a gun "a gun", or, after stealing one from a policeman, using it to threaten to shoot himself rather than anybody else.
The Doctor also happens to be not at all modest about his intelligence, having no qualms at all about stating himself to be the most intelligent person in the room and assuming that everyone else will recognise this as unequivocal fact. Of course, he often is, but that doesn't negate the fact that the Doctor can be highly arrogant. However, at the same time, the Doctor can also be very humble, as he as absolutely no desire for power whatsoever, and he doesn't see himself as being really all that important in the grand scheme of things. For the most part, the Doctor's arrogance tends to be about his intelligence and capabilities, but he also doesn't think that this makes him any more important or better than anyone else. This is perhaps best shown by his reaction to highly intelligent villains - he certainly doesn't see them as any better than anyone else, and never approves of their methods, but at the same time he can be amazed at and respect their intelligence and cunning.
In his eighth incarnation, the Doctor's personality makes for a much more romantic figure, who tends to feel much more in the way of "human" emotions than his previous incarnations. He's very chatty, and rather carefree and bouncy at times, with a large tendency to being incredibly spontaneous and even easily distracted. Conversations with the Eighth Doctor can sometimes go on random, unexpected tangents, that don't bear any kind of resemblance to what was going on before. And he's also absolutely horrible about name-dropping, quite possible the worst of all the Doctor's incarnations, much to the annoyance of his companions who have to keep hearing him ramble about all the famous historical figures he's met. The Doctor is an inherently quirky character, and it's not just because he's an alien - even amongst the Time Lords, the Doctor is regarded as rather odd.
Still, despite all of his quirks, when the chips are down and he and his companions are in a dangerous situation, the Doctor is capable of being completely and utterly serious. He has an authoritative manner and bearing, often getting people to do what he tells him to do just by sheer virtue of the fact that he acts like someone that people should be obeying.
The Eighth Doctor is also a soft-spoken, and much more reserved incarnation. He doesn't tend to get into people's faces quite so much - although he still lacks much of a sense of personal space - and he is inherently polite. He might forget at times, as there's a lot of cultural rules in the universe and he can't be expected to remember all of them, and he's not really one for complicated social rules anyway, but he is still very much a gentleman. This is also reflected in his interests, which are largely very "cultured" like poetry and literature and tea. Although the effect is also rather lessened by his uncultured interests, like bad puns and soccer and state-of-the-art spaceships, and his great liking of sweets. Tea isn't particularly gentlemanly when it comes with six teaspoons of sugar.
He possesses a strong moral code, and an intense need to help whoever he comes across (even when they have nothing at all to do with him). Part of why he left Gallifrey was a difference in ideals, as while the Time Lords believe in complete non-interference, the Doctor doesn't believe in sitting back and choosing not to help where he can. He sees Time Lord's their refusal to help others in the universe as a sign of their stagnations and corruption, and he lives his life in direct opposition to that. He might not always be able to act, as even as a renegade Time Lord he knows the importance of not damaging the "web of time", but where he can act, he sees it as his duty to do so. He is also solidly against the killing of an innocent person (or, in many cases, even a non-innocent), even when that would be necessary to save countless others. This is largely a reaction to his previous incarnation, "the man with the plan", who had started "doing the numbers" and calculating the lives of some against others. In this incarnation, the Doctor sees that as the start of the dark path, and refuses to step down it again - although having gone from one extreme to another, this approach doesn't always have the best results. And there are exceptions as well, such as the Daleks and Cybermen, who he regards as being without any hope of redemption.
The Doctor cares vary deeply about his companions, and wouldn't hesitate to die to save them (and in fact, at times he's possibly too quick to try and sacrifice himself). But at the same time, he's used to seeing them die, or leave him. As a Time Lord, he's exceptionally long-lived, and the lives of most of his companions are incredibly short in comparison. This means that sometimes, his companions won't understand how quickly the Doctor moves on from the deaths of others. For the Doctor, his companions lives are fleeting, and he reacts to their inevitable disappearance from his life by avoiding goodbyes and moving straight on to the next adventure. He'll frantically do everything he can to save them around while they are alive, but once they are gone they are gone. And while human lives are fleeting, the Doctor doesn't like travelling alone. In part, he just likes to have company. But the Doctor also doesn't want to forget how precious life is, and his companions are an inherent reminder of that, as they look at the universe with much younger, less-experienced eyes.
In many ways, the Doctor copes by never staying still, by always finding something or someone else to keep him occupied. For all that he's a heroic figure, the Doctor does also possess plenty of fears, and his darker moments. Live as long as the Doctor has, and you'll pick up plenty of regrets along the way, and one of the Doctor's biggest regrets is that he didn't stop the Daleks from being created when he had the first place. He regrets all those times he failed to help in the past, and fears when he might be unable to do in the future. But even more than that, the Doctor fears what depths he might fall to one day. Having been "the man with the plan" in just his last incarnation, the Doctor is well aware that he might end up having to make some very difficult choices. And while the Doctor is someone who seems to almost never, ever, give up, if he's driven far enough to the edge, even he can.
Powers/Abilities:
Despite looking very much like one, the Doctor isn't human - he's a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. This means that he has a few differences in terms of physiology from humans.
The most dramatic trait of the Time Lords is their ability to regenerate. When a Time Lord dies, they don't stay dead - instead, they regenerate into an entirely new body, often changing personality as well (although core traits will remain the same). Some Time Lords can control what form their new body takes, however, this isn't something the Doctor can do, leaving his regenerations entirely up to chance. Usually, a Time Lord is limited to regenerating twelve times, although more regenerations can be granted by the High Council of the Time Lords. The Doctor himself has regenerated seven times, making this his eighth incarnation. But even without regenerating, Time Lords are extraordinary long lived - exactly how long a Time Lord can live in the one regeneration isn't clear, but they can live for centuries without regenerating, at least.
Time Lords also posses some psychic ability, including the ability to communicate telepathically with other Time Lords, and the ability to mentally-manipulate others through touch. Some examples of mentally manipulation seen include hypnosis, mind-reading, memory erasure, and sharing thoughts or transferring knowledge. However, the Doctor very rarely uses any of his psychic abilities. He likely doesn't have the same skill as other Time Lords, since he pretty much never practices it. What the Doctor does get plenty of use out of, though, is the Time Lord's resistance, if not immunity, to many forms of mind control. He can still be vulnerable to more powerful forms, but anything that can be more easily broken will have little effect on the Doctor.
He has all of the same senses as a human, but as a Time Lord they are generally superior (although not superhumanly so). But Time Lords also have additional time senses, which allow them to notice distortions and jumps in time, and to be able to identify which points in history are "fixed" (and thus cannot be altered, under any circumstances), and which are more malleable. Essentially, he's able to tell when history cannot be changed without damaging the web of time itself. Additionally, Time Lords are able to sense the presence of other Time Lords - and identify individual Time Lords (which comes in handy for a race where people are known to drastically change their appearance).
In terms of anatomy, one significant difference is that Time Lords have two hearts. They're able to survive on one if need be, although they'd be much weaker. Their blood is also different to humans, being darker and with a slight orange tint to it. This isn't noticeable to the naked eye, but it is readily apparent under a microscope. Anaesthetics don't work very well on Time Lords, and they need much higher levels to have the same effect, while aspirin is toxic to them, to the point where they can be killed by a single dose. But Time Lords are also able to have conscious control over their own biological systems. They can choose to speed up, slow down, or even stop their hearts, or consciously alter how ingested substances are processed. This even extends to Time Lords being able to put themselves into a healing come when severely injured, allowing all of their energies to be devoted to healing (and therefore allowing them to recover better than a human would).
They are also highly tough and resilient, and capable of surviving greater extremes in cold and heat. They are much less affected by radiations, and they can survive shocks that would be fatal to humans. And lastly, Time Lords need much less sleep than humans, and can get by on even just one hour a day.
Time Lord abilities aside, the Doctor is incredibly intelligent, with a ridiculous number of skills and abilities (being around for as so many centuries will give you plenty of time to practice, after all). In fact, it is his intelligence, more than anything else, which is the Doctor's greatest weapon. He's able to strategise complex plans on the fly, as well as quickly analyse evidence and come to scarily accurate conclusions. The Doctor is intelligent not just in terms of knowledge and learning, but in a real, practical sense.
He has an extremely extensive knowledge of the universe's history, as well as knowledge of most sciences. In fact, vary rare is the science the Doctor doesn't at least have some working knowledge of. He's also a brilliant engineer, able to construct temporary equipment on the fly using what would, to anyone else, looks to be a bunch of scraps. Given more time and better resources, he can build even more advanced devices like the sonic screwdriver. He has actually picked up some medical knowledge know-how at some point (along with many other degrees), so he does have a good knowledge of first aid, even if he's not a practicing medical doctor.
He claims to be able to speak five billion languages, although the accuracy of this is difficult to judge as the TARDIS automatically translates for him anyway. But he can read and write in Old High Gallifreyan, which is unusual even among Time Lords.
And while the Doctor does have plenty of distake for physical combat, this doesn't mean he's incapable - he's able in forms of combat such as sword-fighting and Venusian Akido, and while he hates guns he's still capable in using them.
The Eighth Doctor in particular also showed an aptitude for slight-of-hand and pickpocketing.
Possessions:
Arrival:
I'd like to have the Doctor arrive in the TARDIS, which is capable of travelling to other universes / dimensions. He wouldn't arrive here on purpose - rather, the TARDIS could get pulled into the Void and end up crashing here. Preferably somewhere in or near Poseidon, whatever works best.

Ah, hello! I'm the Doctor, pleased to meet you. Although, generous as your hospitality is - I am grateful for this little device, I assure you - I'm afraid that I have crash landed in your universe entirely by mistake.
Not that it's not a lovely universe! I love the dinosaurs - I always find that giant, possibly man-eating reptiles always give a place a real sense of character.
But, as nice as the place is, I'm afraid I really was hoping to be able to get back to my own universe. I was just on my way to see the temporal supernova of Andraus Nine, you see. Unfortunately my arrival here wasn't too kind on my ship, and the poor old girl isn't looking too good. If I could perhaps borrow some tools, that would be very much appreciated. Does anyone happen to have a Galogen generator? Anyone?

Possessions:
- The TARDIS - The Doctor's spaceship, the TARDIS is capable of travelling through both time and space. As a type 40 TARDIS, the Doctor's TARDIS was considered old even when the Doctor first "borrowed" her, and is considered obsolete by other Time Lords. The TARDIS is also not just a spaceship, in that she is also alive and sentient (however, she doesn't communicate, except in very unusual circumstances). The TARDIS's most distinctive features are both her shape - a London police box from 1963, a shape the TARDIS got stuck in due to a malfunctioning chameleon circuit - and the fact that the TARDIS is bigger on the inside. Much Bigger. Exact how big the TARDIS is is unknown, possibly even to the Doctor, but certainly there's room for enough rooms and corridors for a person to get lost in them for weeks, if not months and years.
- Sonic screwdriver - a highly versatile tool used by the Doctor, which has been modified and altered by him many times over the years. The version used by the Eighth Doctor has been used for purposes such as locking and unlocking, electrical maintenance, interfacing with electrical devices, jamming motion sensors, and scanning for life signs. However, despite it's versatility, it doesn't work on wood.
- Clothing - the Eighth Doctor wears clothes straight out of the Victorian era, but they they are notable in that all of the pockets are bigger on the inside (and tend to hold all sorts of odd knick knacks and odds and ends)
Arrival:
I'd like to have the Doctor arrive in the TARDIS, which is capable of travelling to other universes / dimensions. He wouldn't arrive here on purpose - rather, the TARDIS could get pulled into the Void and end up crashing here. Preferably somewhere in or near Poseidon, whatever works best.
