Lego Doctor Who - Contest Entry

This is the Doctor who appears in my (supposedly) ongoing Lego Doctor Who series.

 

The Last Doctor

 

Now over 5,000 years old and scarred by the actions of his previous incarnation, the final incarnation of the Timelord known as the Doctor has all but embraced the inevitably of his fate. He will die alone and with his death, the legacy of the Timelords will be little more than whispers and fairytales.

 

Having travelled with the Doctor for most of his life and throughout his countless lives, the Tardis has steadily begun to falter more and more as time has progressed. The exterior police box has steadily grown in size over the last thousand years due to the dimension dams slowly breaking down with the Doctor unable to repair them on his own.

 

Having given up all hope of ever finding Gallifrey, after his first 13 incarnations locked it away in a pocket universe to save it from destruction during the climax of the Time War, the Doctor's previous incarnation was born out of spite and hatred at a universe that never once rewarded him for his kindness. It was during this incarnation that the Doctor was a man unlike any of his previous incarnations.

 

Unlike his previous incarnations who could at times be abrasive but still the kind caring soul who first left Gallifrey to see the universe with unfettered excitement, this incarnation sought nothing more than to punish all those who had wronged him in the past.

 

The Daleks.

The Cyberman.

 

The Doctor was merciless in driving both species to near extinction.

 

The Sontarans?

 

The Doctor deprived them of their greatest purpose.

 

War.

 

Against their will, the Doctor forced both the Sontarans and the Rutans in to a peace accord which neither side truly cared for. The only thing that made them even accept his terms were what he threatened them with should they reject his terms. Having seen what the Doctor did to both the Cyberman and the Daleks, both sides reluctantly agreed.

 

Despite of all this though, it would not be until this incarnation of the Doctor crossed paths with Davros that the true Doctor would awaken and attempt to reassert control of his body.

 

As the last child of Gallifrey desperately attempted to regain control of his body he realised it was impossible so long as this incarnation of himself lived. Faced with no other choice, the Doctor for the first time forced himself to regenerate without needing to.

 

Given the irregularity of this regeneration, the Tardis reacted violently to the Doctor's actions and the time capsule ended up crash landing inside a 33rd century human colony ship, one of the last ships to leave Earth before the great exodus.

 

Dazed and confused, the new Doctor was greeted by two strangers known as Vale and Samuel who had somehow managed to make it onboard his Tardis. As the Last of the Timelords collapsed in front of them, the pair raced him to the ship's sickbay all the whilst the Last Doctor heard the voice of his predecessor calling out to him. Despite his best attempt to purge all traces of him, the Doctor quickly realised that his previous incarnation would remain with him for the rest of his life even if he was the one seemingly in control...

 

So this is a bit of history for how my Doctor should be interpreted, in some regards I imagine him as having PTSD as a result of the actions of his predecessor. Unwilling to face up to the reality of his actions though, the Doctor instead chooses to bury his memories of that life as deeply as possible both behind a smile and by completely changing the Tardis console room. Although it's clear he's more traumatised than some versions of the Doctor though, this incarnation still longs for companionship so he has a new perspective to see the universe from beyond his own.
