The Alternate Eleventh Doctor

"*There have been so many creatures that came to this planet to invade.. or much worse.. What happened to them? What happened to them?! they met me! I am the Doctor. Protector of Earth*" - The Alternate Eleventh Doctor

### General Information

The Alternate Eleventh Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor from a Parallel universe [Universe Two], and the protagonist of the YouTube science fiction programme ERAS: a Doctor Who Series, *based on the British Television programme "Doctor Who"*. He is played by Aiden Caufield, during the first two seasons of the YouTube show, produced by Gearhead Media, in 2021.

This incarnation's most notable enemy was the 29th Master, portrayed by Nicholas Benjamin, who was responsible for bringing the end of this Doctor's life, locking him away within his own mind, removal of the TARDIS, and being a prophet for the end times. In conjunction, this incarnation of the Master was also responsible for helping this Doctor realize how precious life truly is.

His war with the Master critically involved companion Oliver Howell, portrayed by Thomas Ramshaw; a face he would later regenerate into as a reminder to never be susceptible to the enemy, and to show compassion and humanity, when the Doctor was at their lowest point. Oliver would always push the Doctor to show more compassion and kindness; and it is shown as proof, when the Doctor regenerates into his Fourteenth Incarnation [***The Bleak Doctor***] that he listened and accepted Oliver's Advice.

### Background

#### Early Life:

##### Post-Regeneration

After his predecessor, the Tenth Doctor, absorbed a vast amount of radiation from the Immortality Gate in order to save Wilfred Mott, the Tenth Doctor rewarded himself by visiting old friends for a final time. After being assured by Ood Sigma that "*the story never ends*", the Tenth Doctor regenerated in his TARDIS, with the energy released causing great damage to the vessel. Focused initially on his new form, the Alternate Eleventh Doctor did not immediately realize the TARDIS was on fire and about to crash. (YT: *The Tenth Doctor becomes the Alternate Eleventh Doctor*)

Later in his Alternate Eleventh incarnation, the Doctor realized this event, his regeneration from his Tenth incarnation into his Alternate Eleventh, would be the creation of the Multiverse, along with many parallel dimensions, including the one in which The Alternate Eleventh Doctor would reside within, Universe Two.

##### Crashing Down to Earth

As the TARDIS spiraled out of control above London, the Alternate Eleventh Doctor was nearly thrown through the doors of his damaged ship, but he clawed his way back into the TARDIS after nearly crashing, managing to switch the navigation of the TARDIS towards an under-populated area, and intern, he crashed at his final destination.

##### Meeting Oliver Howell

Crashing in 2020, into Chopwell Forest, aside the Village of Chopwell, where he "*Cut through the pines like scissors through paper*" the Doctor fainted after encountering Oliver Howell. He appeared to be asleep, but in reality his body had simply fallen into a regenerative cycle.

He was carried back to Oliver's home by Oliver Howell. According to Oliver Howell, he proceeded to "mumble in his sleep" and talk about "regeneration". This was the first time Oliver witnessed regeneration energy pouring from the Doctor's hand. But, Oliver concluded that he was simply stressed and tired, and turn in to sleep upstairs.

The Doctor was watched by the Time Catcher as he slept, craving both his "*broken time energy*" and his regenerative energy. Once the Doctor awoke, swiftly, from his regenerative cycle, in the morning, he was disoriented, and curious as to where he had been carried to. Removing his old pin-stripe jacket, throwing it onto the sofa, he was able to meet Oliver Howell.

##### Encountering the Time Catcher

Oliver was able to calm the Doctor, and offered him a cup of tea. It is noted that this incarnation of the Doctor heavily dislikes tea, going so far as to say *"I hate tea!*" but accepting that it allowed him to counteract the effects of a neuron implosion. After they learnt more about one another, in which the Doctor opened up about his regenerative properties, he was removed from Oliver's house.

But, the Doctor sensed another presence in the house, one that was of absolute danger, and proceeded to yell at it, forcing it to appear. The Doctor and Oliver had their first encounter with the Time Catcher, though the Doctor appeared to have prior knowledge of Time Catchers existing. This was Oliver's first encounter with 'alien' life.

The Doctor and Oliver were then immediately attacked by the Time Catcher, who forced them to flee from Oliver's home.

But, his TARDIS, his time machine, had vanished and intern, he had his first encounter with a Time Catcher.

The Time Catchers were sinister entities that acted as a form of "antibody" to cleanse infections in the timestream. Similar to the Reapers from Doctor Who, these creatures, in the event of a temporal paradox, will be drawn to it and will sterilise the wound in time by destroying everything in sight.

This incarnation encountered trouble regularly, later discovering that Oliver Howell's home had become the centre point for Rift activity.

### Early Life

To go further into detail, after falling unconscious and being separated from the TARDIS during his post-regenerative trauma (YT: *The Tenth Doctor becomes the Alternate Eleventh Doctor*), the Doctor awoke in the middle of a forest, where he discovered that the TARDIS itself had disappeared (YT: Within the Light). As he looked for answers, by chance, he would proceed to bump into Oliver Howell; an investigative journalist.

The Doctor and Oliver proceed to have a conversation within the woodland area. Oliver is at first annoyed at his encounter with this stranger, but later begins to pity the timelord. The Doctor reveals that he was in an explosion, though not going further into detail at this current time.

As the Doctor tries to leave Oliver Howell, suffering from post-regeneration trauma, he then collapses and falls unconscious. The Doctor is then carried by Oliver back to his home, where the Doctor remains unconscious upon his living room sofa.

Whilst Oliver is on the phone to his girlfriend, Natasha Greenwood, he explains his curiosity for this interesting stranger that has just come into his life. During this time, the Doctor remains unconscious upon his sofa. It's only when Oliver checks the Doctor's pulse that he begins discovering that the Doctor is not actually human.

Once Oliver returns to his bed for the night, the unconscious Doctor is watched over by a Time Catcher. In the morning, the Doctor stands, removing the Tenth Doctor's old battered suit jacket, frantically and worried. He calms only when Oliver reintroduces himself, coming downstairs for a cup of tea.

Oliver would proceed to feed the Doctor food, and even made him a cup of tea, as he tested his new taste buds. The Doctor proceeds to twitch violently, causing Oliver to become rather nervous. It is then that an awkward pause would ensue, with Oliver questioning everything about the Doctor, but the Doctor being fundamentally unresponsive.

The Doctor and Oliver proceed to speak for numerous minutes, before the Doctor finally remembers more about his most recent regeneration. Oliver proceeds to learn that the Doctor is in fact an alien, much to Oliver's disbelief. During this time, the Doctor's senses are heightened due to his post-regeneration trauma, and he calls out a Time Catcher that is waiting nearby in temporal make-up.

#### Encountering the Time Catcher

Upon the Time Catcher revealing itself, the Doctor explains what the Time Catchers are, saying "*They’re linked to time itself, acting as a form of "antibody" to cleanse infections in the time-stream. In the event of a temporal paradox, they will be drawn to it and will sterilise the wound in time by devouring everything in sight.*" and then proceeding to converse. The Time Catcher reveals it's intentions and then proceeds to try and attack the Doctor and Oliver.

Oliver and the Doctor flee Oliver's house, and the chase begins. The Doctor begins thinking of a plan, and explains that they need to "*draw it into the open*" to defeat it. Oliver suggests the field they're now in, and the Doctor ignores this, stating that "this is too open" and therefore they proceed into the forest. The Doctor and Oliver argue with the Doctor finally convincing Oliver that he is, indeed, an alien.

He then persuades Oliver to help him in finding, and stopping, the Time Catcher for good before they're both wiped from existence, and to find his TARDIS. Intern, they are chased through the forest by the Time Catcher that is still hot on their trail. The Doctor leads the Time Catcher, unbeknownst to Oliver Howell, into an open section of the forest that is easily defendable. It is only a few minutes later, that the Doctor realises he's made a mistake, with Oliver asking him why the Time Catcher did not eliminate him earlier when he was unconscious, the Doctor realises that they must have been "biding their time" and "waiting until he was vulnerable" and intern, within the forest, a place he does not know all too well.

#### The TARDIS Key

They both then begin running back to Oliver's home for safety. But, as they run home, they're stopped by the Time Catcher. The Doctor proceeds to draw the Time Catcher's attention, by using the sonic screwdriver as a form of halting them. His explains that his TARDIS key is "*a part of my time stream. It radiates time energy*" and that "*This is the key to a TARDIS. My TARDIS.*" and then he reveals the catch that "*a TARDIS is a world of time energy, and this is literally the key.*" and finally, he says "*Come any closer and I quadruple the effects of this key*" and "*rip open the time vortex*" intern creating a stale-mate scenario.

It is revealed once more that the Time Catcher wishes to feast on the Doctor's broken time energy. The Doctor realises that the Time Catchers have become corrupt exclaiming that Time Catchers are supposed to "repair broken time zones by feasting upon the broken energy inside" without harming anyone or anything. The Time Catcher then proceeds to state that it has watched him grow old, and they have been there since "the dawn of time". Since before "The Augur, the Oracle," and "the beginning of time itself"

They waited for the Doctor. They waited for this moment. They waited for the Doctor to die at their hands, absorbing the Doctor's time energy.

#### A Change of Clothes | Defeating the Time Catcher

The Doctor tries to persuade the Time Catcher to stop it's attack. But, the Time Catcher reveals that the Doctor is lying, and intern, the Doctor and Oliver are forced back into a chase again. The Doctor distracts the Time Catcher, allowing Oliver to return home, and intern, get himself to safety. The Doctor then returns to Oliver's home himself, but not before learning about a "crack in time" that forced these entities to run away and slowly become corrupted in the first place.
Once home, The Doctor and Oliver converse, with Oliver finally realising that the universe is far bigger and far more dangerous that he originally knew. The Doctor proceeds to change his clothing into his black get-up; a leather jacket, black short sleeved T-shirt, black jeans and grey boots with black laces (as shown on the right) .

With Oliver waiting for the Doctor to change, Oliver encounters a Time Catcher, and before he is devoured and wiped from existence, the Doctor comes to his aid. The Doctor then stops the Time Catcher by syncing his regenerative energy with the Time Catcher's own temporal energy and sends the Time Catcher to a different location in time, in conclusion, saving the day, though with a rather brutal method.

#### The 29th Master

As the atmosphere relaxes, The Doctor and Oliver then proceed to exchange niceties and become further acquainted. The beginning of a brand new friendship. The Doctor then proceeds to scan Oliver's living room wall, picking up a signal, for something he does not yet understand. He then begins searching for his TARDIs, but discovers that he is stuck on Earth, though he does not quite know for how long, The Doctor then encounters the 29th Master for the first time since their encounter with Rassilon, where the Doctor and Oliver are locked away in their own minds, falling unconscious.

#### The First Adventure | The Dream Reality

Upon awakening, the Doctor finds himself under the influence of the 29th Master and appeared stuck within a dream reality; a forested area that the Doctor could never escape. Though the dream reality appeared real, it was later revealed to be a figment of his own imagination; his brain as a physical entity with the Doctor stuck inside it.

The Master could travel between both the Doctor's dream and Oliver's dream, of which, looked exactly the same with a few differences. The Master challenged the Doctor to escape the dream, whilst he tortured Oliver Howell within his dream reality. The Doctor finally escaped this dream world, after he found a way to communicate with Oliver Howell, Oliver gave him the idea of locating his cerebral cortex. This gave the Doctor a way out of the dream world. The Doctor would interface with his cerebral cortex and force his way to consciousness.

During this time, the 29th Master also prepared to release a great terror onto the world, unbeknownst to the Doctor. Once he broke out of the dream world, the Doctor sought pity unto the 29th Master, and together they spoke about previous events, with the Master revealing a lot of his past to the Doctor.

After the Master escaped using a stolen Vortex Manipulator, the Alternate 11th Doctor proceeded to encounter a stranger that knew him all too well. The Doctor was then stolen away from Oliver Howell with the stranger, via Vortex Manipulator.

#### The Other Doctor

The Doctor and the stranger were separated however upon arrival at their destination. Due to loosing one another within the time vortex as they travelled, both the Doctor and the stranger arrived unconscious and separated. The Doctor awoke in time to encounter a Vanguard Hunter, looking for "the Entity" and after trying to remain hidden failed, the Doctor was attacked by the Vanguard Hunter. But, before it could eliminate him, or capture him, he was saved by the stranger, who threw the Doctor his sonic screwdriver.

The Doctor then proceeded to disable the Vanguard Hunter temporarily.

#### Death

In his Second series, the Alternate Eleventh Doctor finally met his demise. The 29th Master devised a plan of his own, after his last encounter with the Alternate Eleventh Doctor, which would stake the lives of everyone on planet Earth against the Doctor and his friends, literally. The Alternate Eleventh Doctor had to choose between his own life, his friends or the Earth. With the Master having set up gravity satellites around the Sun, which he claimed had been there for at least fifty years, he explained how the Doctor would have to choose. These gravity satellites would expand the sun whenever he wished for it to be so. Either he would eliminate the Doctor right now and spare the Earth, or he'd end the lives of all on planet Earth and allow the Doctor to live knowing that he ended humanity through selfish acts.

Naturally, the Alternate Eleventh Doctor chose to spare the Earth, but the Master had other ideas; after shooting the Doctor with his laser screwdriver, and not being able to use his full-power of the laser screwdriver after Enzo-17 stopped him by shooting the Master in the back. With all that he had left, with the Doctor on his death bed, vouching for the Master's life as his final wish, claiming "I don't want to see more death as i die. There's been enough death in my life.." , Enzo allowed the Master to flee. The Master later forced the gravity satellites to expand the sun and roast the Earth.

After a short speech, the terrified Alternate Eleventh Doctor regenerated into his Fourteenth incarnation, of whom, later realised the danger Earth was in and cleared up the mess his Alternate Eleventh incarnation had left for him by chasing the Master, taking his Gravity expansion device, destroying it and his screwdriver in the process, and intern, allowing Earth to continue. The newly regenerated Fourteenth Doctor watched as the Twenty-Ninth Master regenerated into his next incarnation and became the 30th Master, who vowed he'd hunt down the Doctor and kill his earlier incarnation, as a way of teaching the Doctor a lesson for what the Doctor had done to him, "You kept me, imprisoned me, as your pet. oh, doctor, i will destroy your timeline, beginning with your earlier incarnation".

Enzo implored the Doctor to stop the Thirtieth Master, but the Doctor claimed "he [I] already had[ve] that sorted" and later explained "If i had gone after him, then that'd cause a paradox. He went back in time, posing as the Architect.. but we dealt with that, didn't we? It lead us here" as well as this, he claimed the Master wouldn't remember their last encounter with him, where the Thirtieth Master teamed up with his prior incarnation, he wouldn't even remember meeting up with him, unless he discovered a way to retain his memories. This was simply due to the timelines being out of sync. This was the end of the Alternate Eleventh Doctor and the beginning of the Fourteenth Doctor, and intern, the Fourteenth Doctor was able to meet up with Oliver and begin a new adventure entirely..

### Personality

This Doctor has a fierce determination, he is weary, introverted, egotistical, uncaring, tolerating, sharp, calculating, dismissive, rude, crude, blunt, boorish, disrespectful, direct, angered, overbearing, manipulative and consciously aware of his own intelligence.

He is incredibly short sighted when it comes to other's feelings, yet highly intuitive to other's emotions. He is warm at heart, funny and sarcastic. He has a careless attitude, unless it's towards his continued existence. When in a room, he is only respectful when everyone is obedient to him, claiming "I am the only authority that this room needs" and favouring to think in disbelief that individual freedom exists.

He would ignore anyone of actual authority, always wishing to be the one that gave the explanations. He confessed to Oliver Howell, on many occasions, that he tended to ignore everyone in the room until it was his time to talk.

He had a complete disregard for social niceties, yet he would fight to protect those in his care and would react with devastation if harm befell them. He would also regret the deaths of good people, especially if the survivors displayed an unpleasant attitude. However, he would keep his softer side hidden, preferring to be callous and even, at times, ignoring when someone was sad or happy. If they were, he'd make them feel terrible, so that he could have complete authority. He would neglect any care for names, or human optimism.

He was outwardly insulting, sarcastic and generally rude. Nonetheless, he tolerated the company of those who could engage him intellectually, and claimed to respect humanity only. He liked to get straight to the point, and was not an affectionate individual. He refused to make any form of social gestures, such as "hugging, holding hands, or even shaking hands and especially high-fives", any attempts to do so, would make him horrified.

Much like his seventh, war and twelfth incarnations, the Alternate Eleventh Doctor was heavily inclined to err toward a greater good and was willing to allow a few inevitable deaths if it meant saving the majority. Through this attitude, he acted like a pragmatist that would not hesitate to abandon someone whose fate was already sealed, nor mourn for an ally until his objective had been reached, claiming that "Mourning comes later; save the world, save the few"

However, the Doctor was still willing to save people if their deaths were not an immediate inevitability. He relied heavily on his companions to keep him from succumbing to his darker nature, and would never praise them when they did, in-case it made him appear weak.

He disliked it when anyone pointed out mistakes he made. He would leave a room if he felt he had nothing to contribute, as he would be "wasting his time".

He valued mortal lives, however brief they seemed to him, telling many that they would become his enemy if they even attempted to quicken those with mortal lives. He refused to listen to the opinions of others, in fear that it would cloud his judgement. He favoured the direct approach when he encountered an obstacle, and believed it was always best to assume and plan for the worst-case scenario.

He was willing to place his companions in danger if it meant appeasing his curiosity, often leaving them out of the details in his plans, or using them to distract attention away from himself. He was quick to remove guns or lethal weapons from situations, sometimes using physical force to do so.

He did not see himself as a "hero", merely someone who was just passing by. He had a strong dislike for military tactics.

While he disliked guns, he noted that it was foolish to disregard them when they were useful, and was willing to utilise one himself when he felt the need to, but would immediately discard it once it was no longer needed.

This Doctor disliked losing, but accepted it if there was no need for him anymore.

This Doctor had a major fondness for his prior incarnations, nine and twelve, though considered every other incarnation "just a little bit below me" yet remained happy that they were all part of his life, and upon meeting his Fourteenth Self, seemed fairly quick to pass him on and get rid of him. Though, he came to care for his fourteenth incarnation after they appeared on Gallifrey (ERAS: Dimension Shift, Part 3). On many occasions, he would claim that any other incarnation, other than himself, nine, twelve and sixteen, were "children's blind little puppies" in the eyes of himself, and were "an unkind after-taste" to himself.

Like his ninth, eleventh and Twelfth incarnations, the Doctor often used "hell" as an intensive, and spoke the name of "God" in vain. He was prone to boredom, much like the Master (Keith Chopping), and gets agitated if there is nothing for him to do. He has a hatred for peace and quiet.

He is manipulative, and often takes advantage of those that get in his way. On many occasions, he would use guilt and flattery to get others to his bidding. His sense of humour is dark and sarcastic. He mostly only ever gets amused by the stupidity of others in comparison to himself, calling people "thick" and even makes quips to the expense of those around him.

He has nearly no tact, a reason why many dislike him. Ignoring when he offends people, or when he is incredibly antagonistic of those around him. Yet, although, he has a cold-hearted rough exterior, he does progress to become kinder and far more caring. Furthermore, when he discovers of Oliver Howell's death and the deaths of his future incarnations, he appears grief-stricken, having claimed to not care for anyone other than his own incarnation.

This Doctor is most protective towards the people he is close to, however. Even though it often seems like he takes Oliver for granted, he is enraged when he finds that the Master killed Oliver over and over again, within a dream world, from which, he proceeds to punch the Master in the face and claiming to have "broken a finger that time".

The Doctor and Oliver, however, share a unique relationship. The Doctor cannot be considered a man with many friends; his attitude and cutting words often ward people away, but with Oliver Howell, he makes an effort.

The Doctor noted that, because of his prior incarnations dealings, he was shocked so badly by the regeneration, that he substantially changed in personality from the kind, outgoing, lively and genial demeanour that hid his underlying guilt of his spikey haired predecessor, to the cold, deductive and logical man that he was introduced as; this was due to his recurring guilt, his tiredness for continuation, and his self-doubt, and depressive nature.

### Appearance

Much like the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston), in his early days, this version of the Doctor is comfortable in black clothing. Sporting a black leather jacket, but in this case, the black leather Faux jacket is vintage in style. Wearing this alongside a simple black short-sleeved shirt, modern black skinny jeans, and some simple black boots, with a white under-surface and brown inner lining.

In later appearances, he began sporting a long green coat, along with a green collared suit shirt, a patterned floral green tie, black rimmed square glasses, a brown traveller belt, the same black jeans, and similar grey shoes with black laces; reminiscent of his Tenth incarnation. Alongside this approach, he began using a new Sonic Screwdriver, a new more steampunk, yet elegant design, keeping the same blue light features. All these clothes were from within the TARDIS itself, aside from the trousers and the boots.
