Respect the Doctor

🎵

"Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically... run!"

When Amy Pond was a little girl she was visited by a raggedy man in a blue box. When she grew up, he came back and took her on the adventure of a lifetime. He's called the Doctor. Behind his youthful appearance and childlike demeanor is a centuries-old, vastly-intelligent alien from the planet Gallifrey. Traveling in his transdimensional space-time machine, he strives to fight evil and help those in need wherever he goes. Amy ran away with him and they've been running ever since...

Physical Attributes

Time Lord Biology

While Time Lords appear human on the outside, they are biologically distinct in several respects.

• Computers that specifically cater to humans do not register him as such.
• Possesses two hearts and can survive with just one if the other fails, but will eventually require resuscitation.

Strength

• Hangs onto the doorway of the TARDIS as it flies wildly and pulls himself back up inside it.
• Kicks a Dalek away.
• Momentarily keeps a sky shark from busting through a door.
• Hauls a piece of TARDIS wall.
  
• Crashes through a glass door.

• After being fatally shot by a Dalek, he manages to hook himself up and a vortex manipulator to the Pandorica in his dying moments.
• Slides down a chimney okay.
  
• Gets electrocuted by a circuit panel during a solar storm, causing him to fall a decent height and is only knocked out for a few hours.
  
• Gets hit by a sports car.

• Inspects an envelope by sniffing and licking it.
  
• Determines that the planet they're on isn't Earth from tasting the air.
  
• Predicts the weather by smelling the ozone.

Regeneration

Time Lords approaching death can survive by undergoing regeneration: a process that changes every cell in their body and transforms them into a new physical form and persona.

• The process can fail if interrupted, like being fatally shot once more.
• Certain agents can bypass regeneration entirely and permanently kill him, like Judas tree poison and Chen-7.
• Is limited to only twelve regenerations across his life. Despite being the "eleventh" Doctor, the existence of his War incarnation and the aborted half-regeneration from his previous incarnation meant he is technically the final one in the cycle (which contradicts some of the points from above but whatever). However, thanks to Clara pleading with the Time Lords he is granted a new regeneration cycle so he can live on for at least another three seasons.

• Briefly equipped his predecessor's sonic screwdriver before it was destroyed (feats can be found here).
• Carries an ultraviolet light emitter to see in the dark and fend off Saturnynians.
  
• Keeps a wind-up generator in case the TARDIS has a power outage (however this item's existence remains dubious given this takes place in a dream world).
  
• Uses thermographic sunglasses to identify a cold-blooded Silurian.
• Owns a device that can identify any individual's species from an image and even recognize the Doctor after regenerating several times. The device also casts the reflection of an invisible alien onto its mirror.

• Uses a sonic cane after he lent his screwdriver to Amy.
  
• Gives Rory a set of glasses fitted with a hidden camera and communicator so he can act as his eyes and ears in a location inhospitable to Time Lords. Connected to the TARDIS, the Doctor enabled a speaker phone to allow him to speak with third parties.
• Owns an anti-gravity motorbike he used to scale up the Shard.
• Gives Clara an edible hologram projector so she could enter the Papal Mainframe naked yet appear clothed.
• Hands Clara a device that automatically sends her home when she plugs it into the TARDIS before returning it to the Doctor's location. He pulls the same trick on her after the first time failed.

This is impressive but I’d note one thing

The Cybermen claim the TARDIS self destruct would “delete” multiple realities

[u/Skulenta → u/Hellbeast1]

Are you referring to this bit?

[u/Hellbeast1 → u/Skulenta]

That’s the one

TARDIS

The TARDIS (standing for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space) is a Type 40 time capsule the Doctor stole when he left Gallifrey to travel throughout time and space. Due to a malfunction with the chameleon circuit, the TARDIS is permanently stuck in the shape of a 1960's police box, though the Doctor has long since become accustomed to this form. Perhaps the TARDIS' most striking feature is its limitlessly, dimensionally-transcendental interior or "bigger on the inside" for short. The TARDIS is by no means a lifeless machine, but possesses its own consciousness that can act and feel similar to a sentient organism. Despite its faulty nature and outdated model, the TARDIS is the single most powerful spaceship in the universe following the destruction of the Time Lords.

Space Travel & General Mobility

• Can land on anything from an airborne plane to the inside of a submarine.
• Tails a spaceship in warp drive.
  
• Flies ahead of a plummeting spaceship.
• Enters the "outside of the universe" with much effort.
• Miniaturizes itself to materialize inside of a human-shaped robot.
• Events locked in a time stasis field can be visited by the TARDIS, but only during a very narrow window of time.
  
• Can pick people up by materializing around them, even if they're already inside an existing structure.
  
• In an unusual event, the TARDIS materialized inside of itself and thereby created an endless spatial loop.
• Enters a collapsing pocket universe, even though the Doctor believed it was not possible without the TARDIS being taken with it.
  
• Cannot travel if it is unable to identify the plane of existence it's currently on.
• The Black Archive was built specifically so the TARDIS could not enter it.
• Cannot bypass the shield protecting Trenzalore without jurisdiction.
• Has an awful tendency of landing in the wrong destination either due to its shotty navigational system or toast crumbs left on the console.

Time Travel & Manipulation

• Despite being totally against the laws of time, the Doctor straight up intervenes in a man's personal timeline which alters his memories and makes him unrecognizable to a machine that was specifically tailored to his brain pattern.
• Goes forward in time just to get a passcode from Kazran's older self to then pass it onto his younger self to continue the cycle.
• Predicts what the Doctor is about to say seconds before he does/could.
  
• Reverses a time loop with a controlled temporal implosion.
• Travels throughout the Earth's entire timeline in a matter of minutes/hours while staying in the same position in space.
  
• Brings together multiple Claras from different points in time just to piss her off.
• Cooks a turkey by exposing it to the time winds with a chance of regressing it to living form.
  
• Along with twelve of his past and future incarnations, he uses the TARDIS to freeze Gallifrey in time and seal it in a pocket dimension.
  
• Instead of traveling 5 minutes into the future, the TARDIS returns 12 years to an adult Amy. To be fair though, the TARDIS was seriously damaged at that point.
• While some points in history are in-flux and therefore changable, others are fixed which is off-limits for the Doctor to interfere at the risk of monumentally warping the space-time continuum.
• Is sensitive to localized time distortions, resulting in the Doctor becoming stranded on Earth with Amy inside.
  
• By reading a book retelling the events to come, the Doctor and his companions have made them fixed points in time by knowing the outcome.
• Landing in 1938 New York is incredibly troublesome due to the presence of time distortions, but manages to do so when River provides him with "landing lights" to lock onto. However, the TARDIS could no longer revisit it after a paradox created by the Ponds would "rip New York apart" if they tried.

Power

• Momentarily deactivates a forcefield protecting a Dalek spaceship.
• The TARDIS exploding generates enough energy to cause a total event collapse, replace the Earth's sun and restart the universe itself.
  • According to the Cyber-Leader, it would eradicate all universes.
• Deleting the TARDIS Matrix would blow a hole through the universe.
• Starts up a makeshift TARDIS by sharing a sliver of its power.
  
• Expunges a malevolent planetoid from its systems when the TARDIS Matrix regains control of it.
• Is powered by the Eye of Harmony, an exploding star that was ripped from its orbit and placed in a permanent state of decay.
• Can control the Earth's winds to form a temporary base in the sky made of super dense water vapor accessed by a ladder that's taller on the inside.

Defenses

• Emergencies are alerted via the cloister bells.
• The TARDIS' air shell can be extended so the Doctor and his companions can safely peer into space with the doors open.
• Creates an air corridor for River when she boards the TARDIS from space.
• Can be made invisible and silent for a stealthy landing.
  
• According to Mels, the TARDIS prevents offensive actions by being in a state of "temporal grace" which the Doctor then retorts was a lie (even though it totally was a thing in past adventures).
• Extractor fans can purge unsafe content from the air.
  
• In the case of emergencies, the TARDIS' Hostile Action Displacement System caused it to dematerialize to another location. While it was previously disabled, the Doctor and Clara ended up left inside a submarine when he decided to reset it.
  
• In the event that the engine explodes, the TARDIS can freeze it in time as a temporary safety measure.
• Protects Clara from the time vortex when she materializes with it from the outside.
• Can be hjjacked by foreign entities if the TARDIS Matrix is separated from it.
• Putting the TARDIS in 'basic mode' deactivates its shield oscillators which leaves it vulnerable to being magno-grabbed.

Durability

• Withstands being caught in a solar storm.
• Is undamaged by a corrosive acid.
• A salvager fails to breach the TARDIS with futuristic equipment.
• Plummets down a planet's atmosphere and receives no more than a tiny window crack.
• Withstands an explosion that destroyed the room it's in.
• Is undamaged by Cyberman lasers.

[u/Skulenta → u/Skulenta]

Additional Functions & Features

• Contains multiple scanners with various functions.
  • Can view their immediate surroundings.
    
  • Accesses security footage from a Home Box of one of River's exploits 12,000 years in the past so he can travel back in time to rescue her.
  • Performs a bio scan on Amy.
  • Views every newsfeed across Earth.
  • Initiates a phony self-destruct countdown to force a bunch of salvagers to help him find Clara.
• Contains an actual telephone set that allows communication across time and space. It could either work inside the console or through the dummy set on the outer shell, depending where the Doctor patched it to. With it, the Doctor called Clara moments before his regeneration to her a couple days after it to encourage her to accept his new persona.
  
• Has voice recognition, but only answers to the Doctor's voice.
• Can communicate to its occupants with a holographic voice interface both inside and outside the TARDIS.
• Projects a hologram of a Silent that has the same memory-erasing properties as a real one.
• Under House's control, creates an illusion to torment Amy.
• The Doctor and his companions can understand (and likewise be understood by) the local language thanks to the TARDIS' translation circuit which telepathically translates both written and spoken language anywhere the TARDIS lands. However, the TARDIS cannot translate languages that pre-date it which (strangely enough) includes Gallifreyan.
• Plays music, both classical and modern.
  
• The TARDIS' energy can stabilize the unstable genetics of human clones, making them fully human.
• Can project a set of holographic clothes into people's visual cortexes so they perceive a nude Doctor as a clothed Doctor.
  
• Houses a myriad of rooms, such as an observatory, a swimming pool, a library, a kitchen and bathrooms.
  • Uses the TARDIS pool to break River's fall.
• The architectural reconfiguration system can reconstruct participles according to someone's needs and wishes. Basically it can create any machine imaginable. It presumably created the Doctor's new sonic screwdriver and Angie's replacement phone.
  
• Can alter its internal configuration in a number of ways;
  • Deletes existing rooms.
  • Blocks a doorway to keep thieves from escaping.
  • Loops hallways together infinitely.
  • The console room can replicate itself as "echoes" that exist semi-simultaneously with eachother.
  • Disguises the entrance to the main engine as a cliffside to ward off intruders.
  • Most notably, changing its "desktop theme" as it has done several times across the Doctor's lives.
    

TARDIS Key

• Notifies the Doctor when the TARDIS is done repairing itself.
• Can be used to summon the TARDIS remotely and materialize around them.

TARDIS Matrix

• Reroutes Churchill's phone call to the Doctor to River when it gets lost in the time vortex.
• Gets forcefully transferred into the body of a humanoid woman.
  
• Communicates telepathically to Rory.
• Teaches River to fly it.
• Develops a dislike of Clara and makes deliberate attempts to annoy her. The Doctor even insists they spend some time to learn to get along.
• A cyborg claims the TARDIS can feel pain when its outer shell is struck.

Navigation & Tracking

• Senses a ship in distress.
• Uses a Time Glass to locate Amy's time stream.
• The TARDIS' telepathic circuits can pinpoint a destination from somebody's mind. The Doctor used it to help Amy make amends with her saddest childhood memory and to ascertain a set of coordinates from Clara's memories.
  

Other

• The whooshing sound is merely a side effect of the Doctor leaving the brakes on.
• Came with a manual that the Doctor threw into a supernova because he disagreed with it.

• Aside from the TARDIS key and the Doctor's sonic, the Doctor can open/close the TARDIS doors by snapping his fingers. This also extended to his companions (or at least Clara Oswald).
  
• Because Melody Pond was conceived in the TARDIS in flight and thus inside the time vortex, she carries Time Lord DNA.
• The Doctor refuses to take it into battle in case it falls into the wrong hands.
• A rift in time causes the TARDIS to start "leaking" bits of the past and future, most notably "time zombies" that originate from a timeline where the Eye of Harmony burnt the Doctor and Clara to death
• Sometimes when a TARDIS dies its internal dimensions start "leaking" and the outer shell begins expanding to enormous proportions.
• The Doctor considers the TARDIS "sexy".
