History WMG / EighthDoctorAdventures

[[WMG:Fitz is a TimeLord.]]
He's [[HeterosexualLifePartners obviously]] [[HoYay married]] to the Doctor, and maybe you can be a TimeLord by marriage or just by spending too much time around one. Alternately, see the first WMG. Perhaps the TARDIS thought that the ideal companion for the Doctor would be another TimeLord, who would never die and therefore would never have to leave him. Also, he somehow manages to figure out when it's his birthday, even though everyone else who travels in the TARDIS, at least everyone else who's human, completely loses track of time. And he's on the right track for getting the [[InexplicablyAwesome whole Doctorish thing]] down well enough, which is generally used in Wiki/ThisVeryWiki as a criteria for TimeLord-ness.

She's almost certainly lying at least in part, but her "catlike eyes" are mentioned so often that there's a distinct whiff of AmbiguouslyHuman about her. Also, as a MasterOfDisguise, she certainly has the skills to cover it up if she's an alien. You also have to wonder why it would occur to her to say such a thing if she is human. And considering how heavily populated the {{Whoniverse}} is with {{Human Alien}}s, why not?

* On this wiki the EDA and BigFinishDoctorWho are in different continuities. The Night of the Doctor apparently made Big Finish canon. In The Gallifrey Chronicles three Ninth Doctors are seen (though no [[Creator/JohnHurt War Doctor]]). Perhaps this 8th Doctor regenerated into the Shalka Doctor, who was partially inspired by Fitz Kreiner into becoming a DeadpanSnarker.

The Doctor is a bit the same way, though, when it's put that way, but doesn't really have any particular guiding plan other than [[ForHappiness wanting everyone to be happy and safe]], and is more of TheMessiah.

His parents are named [[{{Literature/TheOdyssey}} Ulysses and Penelope]]. One of them is from Earth and the other named himself after an adventurer from Earth legend. They probably couldn't resist the literary allusion.

His parents are named [[{{Literature/TheOdyssey}} Ulysses and Penelope]].

* River Song. Although the song was written prior to her introduction, and it's unlikely that her character was influenced in any way by the song, it's still somehow the most logical explanation. The title is "Contains Spoilers", and "spoilers" are a bit of a motif with her. And if it's River, then we know perfectly well who the other man he mentions in the song would be, also explaining somewhat why he gets shirty with the Doctor all of a sudden.

* Benny Summerfield. Just because he's never met her in canon doesn't make it that much more far-fetched than any other possibility. And the song seems to imply somewhat that he's talking about some time-traveling adventurer. And the author of ''The Gallifrey Chronicles'' happens to have written some of her stories.
* Trix. He lied when he said it wasn't about her. But if he'd read a file about her, you'd think he'd know more about her than he does, such as what her real name is or why she's wanted for murder.

** Alternatively, Miles just likes getting mad. He's a bit like that.

There's a fairly obvious shift in his personality following ''Interference''. Prior to ''Interference'', he seems much less trusting of the Doctor and much more likely to bunk off at the first opportunity. However, he eventually becomes much more heroic and almost scarily devoted to the Doctor. He knows for a fact that the TARDIS has changed the way his brain works: his dreams are overly normal, he can generate anagrams with his brain, and his thoughts have a "deeper structural underpinning" that computers like (even if they're the same slightly CloudCuckoolander-like thoughts he's always had). And there is precedent for companions being mucked around with like that in the [=EDAs=]: Sam was changed completely from a troubled, cynical drug abuser with dark hair to an earnest, blond SoapboxSadie who eventually comes to the belief the Doctor "never never never does anything wrong". Considering the difference between Fitz's personality at the start and end of the series and how much the Doctor ends up relying on him, it does seem rather as though the TARDIS thought this all out pretty well.

* Erm, the reason Miles got mad seems to be more along the lines of Sabbath being intended as more of a {{Rival}} HeroAntagonist rather than an outright villain, not from having supposed to have been any sort of Ubermensch. [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Doesn't disqualify Sabbath for the position]], but just saying.

Another thing: the basic point of his character was originally to replace the Doctor, and when he first appeared the Doctor was TheLastOfHisKind and a [[IllGirl dying]] [[LaserGuidedAmnesia amnesiac]], suggesting some sort of allegorical GodIsDead... [[BuffySpeak thing]]. The only problem is that his whole quest is kind of other people's ideas, even though he seems quite personally invested in it. Is he a subversion of the [[{{Ubermensch}} Übermensch]]... or is he just using his bosses, too? It's unclear. Also, he [[NiceJobBreakingItHero keeps screwing up]], which isn't terribly [[{{Ubermensch}} Übermensch]]like, but oh, well.

He's also planning to completely alter the basic functions of reality: he wants to completely alter the whole entire multiverse, so that it's only one universe and doesn't branch off into other universes every time a decision is made, with a side of planting human DNA at the Big Bang so that the universe will be dominated by humans (because HumanityIsSuperior). Also, he temporarily develops the ability to travel through time and space on his own, which is pretty impressive.

Well, maybe. This may be the reason Lawrence Miles [[CreatorBacklash got kind of mad]] about his VillainDecay into a more overtly villainous but overall less threatening character. See, he's this antiauthoritarian sort of guy, who in the 18th century shaves off his hair because he just does not have the time for hair, and takes a [[CuteMute mute]] [[BadassNative native girl]] to social functions because [[ItAmusedMe it amuses him]]. He only deals with social conventions if it suits him to do so. It's not that he has NoSocialSkills, but he sometimes acts like it because at the time, social skills are not what's useful. His personality makes complete 180s depending on the situation: he acts WickedCultured or like a BoisterousBruiser, or just a completely different person, all for the sake of being a ManipulativeBastard. Because of this, he's very charismatic. His relationship with the Doctor is rather volatile just based on [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou whether]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness or not]] the Doctor is useful to him alive or dead. Even his {{Morality Pet}}s are primarily kept around because [[LittleMissBadass they can kick your ass]]. And he's prone to thinking MurderIsTheBestSolution. So, he's pretty much TheSpock, but, interestingly, unlike the typical Spock, isn't from a culture where massively prioritizing logic is normal; he just got this way on his own.

Fitz often wears a leather jacket, which he's had to replace several times because things happen to it. For example, giving it to the Doctor happened to it, in ''The Ancestor Cell'', when the Doctor is suffering from a severe HeroicBSOD and is about to be left to WalkTheEarth for a hundred years. It would be more heartwarming if the Doctor were ever seen in it again... Anyway, it's possible that he somehow hung onto it, and starts up wearing it again after he regenerates, perhaps as a memento of Fitz after Fitz leaves him or dies. Alternately, Fitz just feels protective of the Doctor at some point during the Time War and gives him his current jacket, which, again, the Doctor hangs on to. It might tend to fit Nine better than Eight, as Eight is 5'8", Fitz seems to consider himself {{egregious}}ly tall, and Nine is 6'2" or so.

[[BigEater Fitz is always eating]]. [[StoutStrength Sabbath]] is seen eating pretty much a grand total of once. Looking at them, you'd expect it to be a bit more the other way around. We could be reasonable and assume Fitz has a speedy metabolism and Sabbath generally takes his meals in private, but where's the fun in that? This might also explain why Sabbath is so unreasonably resentful of Fitz, who [[NiceGuy does very little to earn it]]; he knows what's going on and it gets on his nerves that Fitz eats like there's no tomorrow.

[[WMG:Fitz's stomach is a black hole, and via wormhole it transmits most of the food he eats to Sabbath.]]
