While suffering with the common cold, the Twelfth Doctor, overreacting to the illness, considered the possibility of regenerating. (COMIC: The Day at the Doctors)

After the Monk invasion, the Twelfth Doctor needed to know if his companion, Bill Potts, was under the control of the Monks, and deceived her into shooting him in a rage to see if she had succumbed to the mind control, faking his regeneration to complete the illusion.

(PROSE: The Dying Days) So strong was his spirit that he was able to hold off a Cyber-conversion on a mental plane. (COMIC: Dreadnought)

Despite his enthusiasms, the Doctor claimed to have a fear of heights. (TV: Doctor Who)

Although full of spirit and humanity, the Eighth Doctor did have a dark side within him, especially when the forces of evil tried to unbalance laws of the universe, but he still had his mercy during these outbursts, offering to save from the Eye of Harmony, even after he attacked him for killing Grace and Lee.

Like his previous incarnations, the Eighth Doctor stood against wanton violence, (PROSE: The Novel of the Film) and was insistent on solving solutions in a peaceful manner, (PROSE: The Dying Days) but knew that that would not be an option all the time, and was not above resulting to violence when needed.

Personality
As a coping mechanism, the Doctor would react to threats of death and torture with dark humour; brashly listing hobbies he could indulge in while dying after Ohila informed him he had four minutes left to live. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)

The Doctor's mental health was somewhat questionable; while he usually acted like an eccentric gentleman, he also had moments of certifiable insanity.

When the Eighth Doctor met his demise, he had been thoroughly broken by the circumstances of his travels and the breakout of the Time War, to the point that he decided to remain onboard a crashing spaceship, pleading with Cass to put aside her fear and hatred of the Time Lords for him to save her. This ultimately ended in failure, and the Doctor died in the crash, having lost the will to regenerate until the Sisterhood of Karn temporarily restored him to life.

Though he continued to refuse joining the Time War, seeing Cass's lifeless body caused the Doctor to finally lose all hope, claim the deceased Cass's bandolier and abandon the title of "Doctor" with extreme disparity after being coaxed by Ohila to embrace his regeneration into a warrior, expressing bitter delight when informed the change would hurt.

The Doctor enjoyed Winnie the Pooh, with his favourite character being Tigger, (AUDIO: Caerdroia) and claimed to love dinosaurs. (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars) He once drank wine with Baron Teufel, (AUDIO: The Beast of Orlok) and ordered gingerbread with hot chocolate at the Café Demel. (AUDIO: The Silver Turk)

Like his predecessors, he enjoyed jelly babies, (TV: Doctor Who) with his favourite being the red ones. (AUDIO: Scaredy Cat) He also liked custard, (AUDIO: The Chimes of Midnight) and rarely touched meat. (AUDIO: Seasons of Fear) He also got very excited about cotton candy and chunky monkey ice cream, (AUDIO: Terror Firma) and drank his tea with six sugars. (AUDIO: The Zygon Who Fell to Earth)

Taking his friends well being as his primary concern, (COMIC: Perceptions) the Doctor stole the Master's TARDIS to save Liv Chenka and Molly O'Sullivan from the Dalek Time Controller at a Dalek retreat on the Eye of Orion. (AUDIO: Eye of Darkness)

The Doctor still felt regret for giving Katarina hope after taking her away from her home, only for her to be killed shortly afterwards. (AUDIO: The Last) He also regretted his fourth incarnation's hesitation to avert the creation of the Daleks, and was adamant not to repeat the mistake with Martez's Mutant Daleks. (AUDIO: Blood of the Daleks)

Viewing his predecessor's manipulative nature with disdain, the Doctor abandoned his scheming tendencies and vowed that he would never travel alone again as he did not want to forget how precious life was. (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars) However, after the deaths of his great-grandson, Alex Campbell, and his companions, Tamsin Drew and Lucie Miller, at the hands of the Daleks, the Doctor decided to travel on his own to limit the deaths that came in his wake. (AUDIO: To the Death)

Lucie's death left the Doctor in such a state that he went to the end of the universe just to see what would happen. However, he started having hope again after meeting Molly O'Sullivan, (AUDIO: The Great War) not wanting her killing herself to stop the Daleks plan because he didn't want to lose anyone else to the Daleks, (AUDIO: X and the Daleks) though he did get annoyed when he found Molly squatting in his house. (AUDIO: The White Room) Even after he had been joined by Liv Chenka in his travels, (AUDIO: Time's Horizon) the Doctor greatly missed Molly when Narvin forced them apart. (AUDIO: A Life in the Day)

His hatred of the Daleks escalated after they started to pursue him and Molly through time, (AUDIO: Fugitives) though he considered a war between the Daleks and the Time Lords to be a ridiculous thought. (AUDIO: Tangled Web) However, when he thought that the Eminence was a greater threat to the universe, he decided to ally himself with the Dalek Time Controller. (AUDIO: Eyes of the Master) After their alliance ended, (AUDIO: Time's Horizon) they resumed their animosity to each other, with the Doctor being particularly angry with the Time Controller's plans to make a New Dalek Paradigm from the artists of Montmartre. (AUDIO: The Monster of Montmartre)

Towards the end of his life, the Doctor began to reminisce about his adventures with previous companions. (AUDIO: Mary's Story)

The Doctor distastefully looked at his immediate predecessor as being "a man with the master plan" working for the "greater good" under the belief of the ends justifying the means, unfavourably comparing him to the Monk in that regard. (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars)

Charley referred to the Eighth Doctor as "an unbelievable, impossible, marvellous man." (AUDIO: The Fall of the House of Pollard) While Lucie originally took against him, describing him as a "patronising git," and a "spineless fish", (AUDIO: Blood of the Daleks, The Skull of Sobek) she claimed that the Eighth Doctor was "the best bloke [she'd] ever met" mere seconds before her death. (AUDIO: To the Death) The Doctor's first TARDIS described the Eighth Doctor as "the idealist". (AUDIO: Prisoners of Fate) While Iris Wildthyme called him a "dilettante fop", Jo Grant though the Eighth Doctor was "very dashing". (AUDIO: The Elixir of Doom)

The Doctor wished to die alone. (AUDIO: Scherzo)

Habits and quirks
The Eighth Doctor exhibited a habit of giving people hints about their future, while not expressing outright the nature of that future. (TV: Doctor Who)

He also had a tendency to repeat himself when he was trying to make a point, (TV: Doctor Who) or conveying something important.

The Eighth Doctor made a habit of randomly kissing or getting kissed by others, such as with Grace Holloway, (TV: Doctor Who) and Charlotte Pollard. (AUDIO: Scherzo)

He would raise his voice when excited, scared, upset or angered. (TV: Doctor Who; AUDIO: To the Death)

He would often lean towards making a sarcastic quip, especially when in the company of Lucie Miller, leading her to nickname him "Sarcasmo". (AUDIO: The Vengeance of Morbius)

Like his first incarnation, the Eight Doctor was known to grasp the lapels of his frockcoats.

Like many of his predecessors, the Doctor would often flick the long tails of his frockcoat back and stand with his hands in his pockets. (TV: Doctor Who; AUDIO: Seasons of Fear)

Skills
The Eighth Doctor had a talent in pick-pocketing. (TV: Doctor Who)

The Doctor showed great proficiency at commandeering transport, being able to drive a police motorcycle, (TV: Doctor Who) and fly a plane with identical ease. (AUDIO: Fugitives)

While he mostly abandoned his predecessor's manipulative tendencies for excellent improvisational skills, (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars) the Doctor tricked the Eminence into destroying itself. (AUDIO: Rule of the Eminence)

While he was not a manipulator, the Doctor possessed the cunning to lead his foes into a battlefield of his choosing. (COMIC: Dreadnought)

The Doctor could also speed read a book in a matter of seconds. (AUDIO: Invaders from Mars)

The Doctor could speak Italian, (AUDIO: Living Legend) and Russian, (AUDIO: The Natural History of Fear) and sing a venusian lullaby. (AUDIO: The Elixir of Doom)

The Doctor used Venusian aikido on C'rizz, though injured himself doing so due being out of practice. (AUDIO: Faith Stealer)

The Doctor also had the ability to enter another being's mind, but his morality prevented him from doing so. (AUDIO: Caerdroia)

The Doctor had a good memory, being able to remember all the Liverpool F.C. strikers and goals from 1964-1965 and 2013-2014, (AUDIO: The Next Life) as well as the inspirational fifth victory of European Cup by Liverpool's football club in 2005. (AUDIO: Something Inside)
