The Doctor is a Time Lord from the plant Gallifrey, he is 907 years old. The Eleventh Doctor was one of the more youthful looking incarnations, something he took great pride in, being described as a man in his 20s. He had softer features than his previous incarnation, with green eyes, a big nose, a noticeable scar atop his forehead, and a large chin and ears. He has hair under his armpits, a few hairs on his chest and small brown hairs on his legs. Arriving at Amy Pond's house in 1996 during a crashlanding caused by damage his TARDIS had sustained during his regeneration, the Doctor found a a crack in the fabric of time and space in the wall, but had to take off in the TARDIS when the TARDIS engines started overheating, not returning until 2008, where he was helped by Amy Pond and Rory Williams in stopping the Atraxi from destroying the Earth to find Prisoner Zero, who warned the Doctor that "silence would fall" when the Pandorica opened. After taking his rebuilt TARDIS for a test run, the Doctor returned to fulfil his promise to take Amy and Rory traveling with him in 2010. Never shying away from adventure, the Eleventh Doctor preferred a life of excitement, and would deliberate avoid a stable situation to keep things from being "boring", with his one condition to his companions choosing a destination being that they had to pick somewhere "amazing", though he also longed for a "simple life", even if he "hated it when things made sense." More childish in nature than his previous incarnations, he would advise others against "growing up", and frequently defined himself as a "a madman with a box". As he struggled to act as a mature adult in his socialising, to the extent that the psychic paper failed to register him as a "mature and responsible adult", the Doctor had trouble reading a room, which would lead to him saying something inappropriate or even offensive. Unable to resist the call to adventure and the need to help others, though in a reckless fashion, the Doctor tried to be a figure of comfort in the universe by standing by those who were afraid and defenceless, never abandoning those who were in need, even if he believed they weren't real, but prioritised those in more immediate danger than those who could be saved later. He also tried to make new friends wherever he went, taking the time to get to know their names and some details, as well as do odd jobs for them and would be especially aggravated when killers could not remember their victims' names. The Doctor showed a childlike recklessness, but always had a grand scheme behind his actions. Because he believed that secrets "make people safe", he was often deceptive and manipulative, habitually putting elaborate plans in place and executing them, even if his plans emotionally hurt his loved ones. However, when in an emergency, the Doctor would prefer to speak hard truths than try to falsely alleviate the situation by lying, but would be gentle with those who had no control over their actions. He found it difficult to stay still for long, needing to keep himself entertained because he would "lose his mind out of boredom", and had a poor concept of time, doing a series of tasks in an hour without realising the amount of time that had passed. Despite his impatience, he enjoyed reading, often sitting down with a book in moments of leisure. Able to find positive outlooks in negative situations, he preferred to settle problems through negotiation rather than violence, but was willing to fight and kill when he deemed it necessary, as well as physically intimidate someone when he was suppressing his anger. While he could succumb to emotional outbursts and rudeness when under stress, he would apologies for his words and actions once he had calmed down. Aware that he was more absent minded than his predecessors, the Eleventh Doctor got distracted easily, disregarding important matters once he noticed something that he found more interesting. He thought aloud when he was panicking or stressed, and tended to babble about what he knew about the current situation to come up with a plan, believing that he would have one when he finished talking, with his usual strategy being to "talk very fast, and hope something good happens, and then take the credit" if the situation resolved itself. Always striving to honour his bargains, the Doctor would be immensely disappointed with himself if he let others down or had broken a promise he had made. The Eleventh Doctor had a tendency towards self-loathing for his actions, such as holding himself accountable for the actions of his enemies when they put his friends in danger or when he failed to stop them. While he knew it was important to hold onto tragedy as motivation in the face of adversity, the Doctor would not dwell on despair, choosing instead to move on with his life, but would still take a period to mourn when he lost someone. Because of his willingness to move on from tragedy, the Moment banded him as "the man who forgets". The Eleventh Doctor could be self-interested, eavesdropping on conversations about himself, wanting to be impressive and admired, being concerned about not being thought of as attractive and frequently boasted about how impressive he thought he was. However, his arrogance was a façade to hide his insecurities and the guilt he felt over ruining his past companions' lives. Openly describing himself as "obsessive-compulsive", the Doctor was known to let his curiosity over enigmas get the better of him, often putting himself and others in harm's way for answers. The Eleventh Doctor saw himself as being "way past strange", but also thought that he was "probably incredible." The Eleventh Doctor talked with his hands and calculated with gestures, a gesticulation that was outside of his control and often distracted him. Indeed, it was rare for the Doctor to go long without wringing his hands together. The Doctor also tended to twirl around in 360 degree spins on his heels. He displayed a liking for the word "Geronimo", exclaiming it when diving into a new or unexpected situation. Due to his fondness for wearing bow ties, the Doctor often insisted that "bow ties were cool". More prone to silently crying than his previous incarnations, the Doctor would sometimes cry without even noticing.
