User:Cousin Ettolrhc/Sandbox/List of incarnations of the Doctor

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A SANDBOX AND, IF IT WERE A REAL PAGE, WOULD PROBALLY BREAK SOME POLICIES

The following is a list of incarnations and manifestations of the Doctor. For completion and usefulness' sake, incarnations of the Doctor, valid or invalid, are gathered here. Additionally, individuals intended to be incarnations of the Doctor, but which lacked the license, are also included. The only possibilities are ones which are not covered by this wiki in any way, valid, invalid, or series overviews like The Stranger (series). Also please note that whilst this page may appear to be written from an in-universe perspective, it is in fact a real world page, and so is allowed to "break the fourth wall", or just use an out of universe perspective.

While the Doctor's species was contentious among stories, as the Doctor was depicted as a human in TV: The Evil of the Daleks, PROSE: Doctor Who and the Daleks, and The Monsters from Earth, among other stories, a Time Lord in stories such as TV: The War Games, The Time Warrior, etc, a hybrid, a contentious addition from TV: Doctor Who, or something else entirely, the Doctor was consistently shown to be capable of regeneration, even among conflicting reports of how that process worked. As such, the Doctor had numerous incarnations over their lifetime, but the exact order and number was as contradictory as the Doctor's species itself.

Before the First Doctor
According to many accounts, there existed many incarnations of the Doctor prior to his so called "first" - while plentiful, they were also contradictory.

"The Other"

 * Leela and Andred's first child (PROSE: Lungbarrow)
 * A possible interpretation, although not one intended by the author, is that Intrepid, bring a half-homeworlder, was Leelah and Andred's first child


 * The Other (PROSE: Remembrance of the Daleks)
 * The Shift from PROSE: Head of State mentioned details of the Eternal War (being a reference to the Other's life) and their speech patterns were intended to mimic The Doctor's.
 * PROSE: Human Nature implies, through the in-universe story "The Old Man and the Police Box", that Dr.Who would eventually become the Other

The Doctor's first regeneration cycle
Accounts varied as to whether the Doctor's first regeneration cycle was truly the first.

1 - 8

 * First Doctor (TV: An Unearthly Child)
 * Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks) was somehow related, as either a conflicting account, alternative timeline, or fictionalised character.

 * In an alternative timeline, the First Doctor took up writing before he left Gallifrey (AUDIO: Auld Mortality
 * Avus travelled to an alter-time realm - "Avus" is latin for "Grandfather" and so it is implied that Avus is either Grandfather Paradox or a young First Doctor, grandfather to Susan Foreman.

 * Sixth Doctor (TV: The Caves of Androzani)
 * The Stranger was a BBV production staring a character played by Colin Baker, after of the Sixth Doctor, in a role similar, but not identical by any means, to that of the Doctor.

"The Curse of Fatal Death" Doctors
According to some accounts, the Doctor's ninth incarnation was "a listless looking man", who was succeeded by a number of incarnations in rapid succession (TV: The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story), PROSE: The Tomorrow Windows (novel), Who's After Your Cash (short story))

 * Fred - Shayde once pretened to be a regenerated Eighth Doctor (COMIC: Wormwood), although the Seventh Doctor also once saw an incarnation visually identical to this one and acknowledged him as his future self (''COMIC: Party Animals.

Taking up the Name

 * First Minister of Chance (WC: Death Comes to Time) took up the the doctor's mantle after he sacrificed himself to defeat Tannis in one version of reality. Later, in another version of reality which was probably thenormal one, the Eighth Doctor saw "a man with a bent nose" in his future through a Tomorrow Window.
 * This individual then eventually regenerated into the Second Minister of Chance in his own spin-off
 * A connection could be drawn between this individual and The Minister of AUDIO: The Same Face due to their shared title and the fact that at the end of the audio story, the Minister regenerates into the The Prime Minister and her assistant jokingly says she may begin calling herself the "Minister of Luck", a title similiar to "Minster of Chance".

War - 11
According to most other accounts, the Doctor's ninth incarnation was a "man with big ears in a leather jacket" or a forgotten warrior who lived through the Last Great Time War.

The Doctor's final incarnation

 * UNPRODUCED COMIC: |The Last Regeneration would have featured a ginger-haired incarnation explicitly written as the last.


 * a vieled priestess was seen by Kady Williams when viewing previous hosts of The Gestalt - who is identified with The Doctor by the fact their timeship has a blue and rectangular exterior, much like The Doctor's TARDIS - and she thought it possible it was the final incarnation of the indiviual who would become the Gestalt. She also had ginger hair, potentially indicating a connection to Merlin, although she also thought it equally likely it may have just been a previous form of the Gestalt.

 * From this incarnation, Doctor Moon (TV: Silence in the Library) was created to look after The Library (NOTVALID: Showrunner Showdown)

 * The Gestalt is potentially a far future incarnation of the Doctor, as their timeship is blue and rectangular, like The Doctor's TARDIS. This individual had a number of "hosts", detailed below:
