I don't think the player has been on in a few months.
Canon
Name: The Doctor (Second Incarnation)
Age: 450
Planet of Origin: Gallifrey
Occupation: None "Mechanic of the Universe"
Physical Description: The second incarnation dressed similarly to his earlier self, though in far less natty fashion. The trousers were clownishly large and the cravat was replaced with a bow tie. He quickly abandoned the blue signet ring as it no longer fitted him. In his first adventure on Vulcan he possessed a tall stove-pipe hat. (DW: The Power of the Daleks) He also early on expressed a liking for hats in general, stating about different head gear that he "would like a hat like that!" (DW: The Highlanders) He also occasionally wore an over-sized fur coat. (DW: The Abominable Snowmen, DW: The Five Doctors)
The second incarnation had longish, rumpled hair and blue eyes. Alternate accounts described his eyes as being 'soft chestnut brown' (ST: Pluto) and not long later they appeared to change colour several times alternating between blue, grey and green. (MA: Invasion of the Cat-People) At some point, his dark hair began to grey. (DW: The Two Doctors)
Personality: This incarnation was a complete change of pace from his predecessor; whimsical, buffoonish and witty. The Doctor was no longer a grandfather figure, but rather more of a favourite uncle. Indeed, the slow transition of the first incarnation from a reluctant travelling companion to a more kindly compatriot was completed here, as the second incarnation very much enjoyed embroiling himself in adventures with his assistants.
A more serious side of the second incarnation
Despite this incarnation's almost childlike recklessness, it was always clear to his allies that a keen, deliberate intellect lurked behind every action. Although the second incarnation frequently gave the impression that he never knew what he was doing, this was simply an affectation and an act put on to fool those who would underestimate him. He also had a warmer, gentler way about him than in his earlier incarnation.
Paradoxically, he had a deep streak of ruthlessness, particularly when dealing with a known adversary such as the Cybermen, wiring the Tomb doors to fatally electrocute anyone trying to open them (DW: The Tomb of the Cybermen), steering an Ice Warrior fleet into the sun (DW: The Seeds of Death), or ensuring that a relatively helpless party of Daleks would all die. This action alienated Victoria, who was disturbed to see this side of him. (DWM: Bringer of Darkness)
The Doctor also had a noticeably antagonistic relationship with his next incarnation on the occasions that they co-existed. Their relationship was so rocky and their personalities so different that they seemed incapable of working together without the authoritative presence of the first incarnation. (DW: The Three Doctors, DW: The Five Doctors)
History: This incarnation began when the Doctor's first incarnation fell victim to old age after defeating the Cybermen and regenerated for the first time, referring to it as a "rejuvenation". (DW: The Tenth Planet) The Doctor found himself suspected as an impostor by his companion, Ben Jackson, although his other companion, Polly, seemed more ready to believe that he was in fact, still the Doctor. They were thrown into a battle with the Doctor's old enemy the Daleks, at the Earth colony on the planet Vulcan. The fact that the Daleks recognized the Doctor as their enemy convinced Ben of his credentials. (DW: The Power of the Daleks)
TRAVELS WITH BEN, POLLY, JAMIE AND VICTORIA
The Doctor, Ben, and Polly on the cusp of meeting Jamie. (DW: The Highlanders)
Shortly, the trio met Jamie McCrimmon, in 1746 Scotland, and let him come along on their travels. (DW: The Highlanders) Together on the Moon, they would fight a new, more machine-like form of Cyberman. (DW: The Moonbase)
Ben and Polly decided to stop off together on 1966. (DW: The Faceless Ones) The Doctor and Jamie found themselves transported back to 1866 where they found two 19th century human scientists, Edward Waterfield and Theodore Maxtible, trying to isolate the human Factor. Jamie and the Doctor befriended Waterfield's daughter, Victoria. Waterfield now having died, and the introduction of the human Factor having instigated a war on Skaro, the Doctor and Jamie left with Victoria. The Doctor believed at the time that the Daleks had truly destroyed each other, forever. (DW: The Evil of the Daleks)
With Jamie and Victoria alongside him, the Doctor forced the Cybermen back to their ice tombs on Telos and first encountered the Cybermats. (DW: The Tomb of the Cybermen) On Earth, they had their first known encounters with the Robot Yeti, the Great Intelligence (DW: The Abominable Snowmen) and the Ice Warriors. (DW: The Ice Warriors)
During a second battle with the Great Intelligence and the Yeti, the Doctor met, for the first time, then-Colonel Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. (DW: The Web of Fear)
Lethbridge-Stewart would later found UNIT and play a significant role in some of the Doctor's life.
The TARDIS landed once more on Vortis (MA: Twilight of the Gods) where the Doctor met, once again, Near Darkheart. They encountered the war-like Veltrochni and Koschei, an old friend of the Doctor's from Gallifrey, possibly sent by the Time Lords to retrieve him. (MA: The Dark Path)
ADVENTURES WITH JAMIE AND ZOE
Craving peace and quiet, Victoria left the TARDIS crew to live with the Harris family. (DW: Fury from the Deep)
The Doctor tries to influence Tobias Vaughn to stop a Cyber invasion. (DW: The Invasion)
The Doctor and Jamie discovered a Cyberman plot involving a space station and picked up one of the space station's crew, Zoe Heriot. To make sure that she really wanted to come with them, the Doctor showed her a mental projection of his last adventure with the Daleks in the year 1966. (DW: The Wheel in Space)
On the planet Dulkis, the Doctor, Zoe and Jamie first fought the Quarks. The Doctor was nearly killed when he carried a live bomb into the Dominator ship. (DW: The Dominators). Shortly after an adventure in the Land of Fiction (DW: The Mind Robber) the travellers landed on Earth, where they learned that Lethbridge-Stewart, now a brigadier, headed a new alien defence organisation called UNIT. Alongside UNIT, they defeated Tobias Vaughn and the Cybermen. (DW: The Invasion) Later they once more battled the Ice Warriors. (DW: The Seeds of Death)
TRIAL AND ITS AFTERMATH
The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe are caught. (DW: The War Games)
The Doctor discovered a former friend, whom the War Lords referred to as the War Chief. He had given spacetime vessel technology to the War Lords, a race planning to use human soldiers as an army to conquer the galaxy. The Doctor was forced to betray his location to the Time Lords in order to return the many soldiers kidnapped from various periods of Earth history. (DW: The War Games)
The beginning of the Doctor's apparent regeneration. (DW: The War Games)
The Doctor was captured and placed on trial for violating the cardinal rule of the Time Lords, never to interfere. His sentence would consist of exile on Earth in the 20th century and a forced regeneration. He was given a choice of new appearance, but rejected all of the choices. (DW: The War Games)
The Celestial Intervention Agency may have stepped in secretly to intercede and prevent the Time Lords from executing the Doctor, in return for the Doctor then working for them. (DW: The Two Doctors, PDA: World Game)
At some point, the Doctor was exiled on Earth prior to his enforced regeneration, allowing him to enjoy considerable luxury and fame on Earth. (TVC: Action in Exile) The Doctor was eventually captured and shot by Scarecrows animated by the Time Lords, which then dragged him to his waiting TARDIS, where he regenerated into his third incarnation. (TVC: The Night Walkers)
