History Characters / BigFinishDoctorWhoDoctors

* ForWantOfANail: All because this Doctor wasn't around in the Seventies ([[RunningGag or was it the Eighties?]]), the world has become surprisingly dark and horrible. Mankind certainly still exists, so UNIT has done their job the best they can even without the Doctor, but the world shows its scars. Much of downtown London, for example, has been replaced by a rather large crater thanks to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E2InvasionOfTheDinosaurs UNIT thwarting a plan to wipe humanity from existence to replace them with dinosaurs]]. The [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E1SpearheadFromSpace plastic purges]] of the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E1TerrorOfTheAutons 1970s]] are another perfect example, although strangely, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E4Inferno Stahlman's Gas]] is [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking considered a hot commodity and quite useful]].
* IWarnedYou: An extremely dark version while wandering the ruins of what is presumably his Gallifrey. He screams out something he's always wanted to say to the Time Lords, "I TOLD YOU SO!". It's implied that his universe's version of [[spoiler: the Last Great Time War was born from the Time Lords being attacked by the rest of the universe for refusing to share their powers. He advised that they should stop the war by agreeing to share their power, but even while losing they refused to do so. (One wonders if it's because in this universe, [[ForWantOfANail the Fourth Doctor never met Romana, who'd go on to found the Temporal Powers Alliance and liberalise Gallifreyan society]].)]]

An alternate incarnation of the Doctor who never chose to leave Gallifrey in the first place. Instead, this Doctor (who is [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep still known as the Doctor]]) is a novelist, spending his time in simulations and interacting with fictional versions of people on Earth. However, after a long time and in one possibility, he eventually does leave in a TARDIS together with his granddaughter Susan (many, many years after he would have done so in other media). His choices and actions taken, however, aren't tempered by being a grumpy young man, stubborn to keep time intact. So instead, we wound up with spacefaring sailing SteamPunk vessels cruising through the solar system in the Elizabethan Era. His story is told in "Auld Mortality" and "A Storm of Angels".

* CompositeCharacter: The Warrior is based on three incarnations of the Doctor: he has the appearance of the Sixth Doctor despite actually being the Doctor's fifth incarnation, and fights in a Time War like the War Doctor.

In this reality, the Fourth Doctor completed his mission to destroy the Daleks in "Genesis of the Daleks", but his actions created a serious temporal rift that resulted in deaths of his companions Sarah Jane and Harry while the Last Great Time War started "early". Narvin gave the Doctor an elixir to ensure that he would regenerate into an incarnation who could fight in the new war, creating a more ruthless Doctor who could do what has to be done to end the war.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite the many things he has already done and never having met Leela, the Warrior was still disgusted by the Master's plan in ''Who Am I?'' where he manipulates events to use Leela and Gentek's children as the start of a race of warriors to fight the Daleks.

[[folder: Alternate Doctor (Colin Baker)]]

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: The Doctor basically argues that his actions are always justified, but when [[spoiler:he kills a man just on the chance that another scientist's work will be continued based on analysis of the man's condition, it's hard not to feel that other Doctors would have been more willing to take a risk in the name of an innocent life]].

* TookALevelInDumbass
* WhatDidIDoLastNight

A creature made of wood that terrorizes a remote village on a distant planet by kidnapping young women on the day of their eighteenth birthday. [[spoiler: He’s actually an alternate nightmarish version of the Doctor from a universe of dreams that entered the main universe when the Time War ripped holes in reality. He’s using the girls to power his version of the TARDIS.]]

* InSpiteOfANail: Abandons his name to become the Warrior just like the War Doctor did.

* AlternateSelf: To the [[Characters/DoctorWhoThirdDoctor Third Doctor]], the catalyst being he ended up with a different face and arrived to Earth much later in this universe. And then things got much more complicated…

* AlternateSelf: A Verizon of the Valeyard who won (at least at first).

* AlternateSelf: To the [[Characters/DoctorWhoEighthDoctor]], regenerating early due to different circumstances and ends up spending his life trying to undo them.

* CompositeCharacter: He's the Third Doctor but he fought in a Time War like the War Doctor.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: For most people mistakes are soluble or something that can be lived with. It weighs on him that his [[spoiler: new job as President of the Universe]] means that for him a mistake can result in an apocalypse.

** At the conclusion of ''The Ruler of The Universe'' boxset it's revealed he [[spoiler: arranged a series of events ranging from the Master trying to summon an ancient evil to ensuring his own impeachment in order to save (most) of his universe, leave the Master in a job he hates with the Mother Superior to keep him in line and most impressively get Bernice back to her home universe]].

* LighterAndSofter: This Third Doctor is a whole lot nicer than Pertwee (though just as snarky), thanks to his exile only lasting a few hours, as opposed to a few years.

* WhatTheHellHero: ...teaming up with ''Daleks''? Even the Brigadier calls the Doctor out on this one, although the Daleks actually aren't nearly as bad in this universe. (Since the Fourth Doctor never existed, he never interfered in the Genesis of the Daleks, and Davros ended up developing his creations in a slightly different direction.)

!!Eighth Doctor a.k.a. Johann Schmidt

* KillEmAll: He can perhaps lay claim to being the first, though surprisingly not quite the last, villain in Doctor Who history to utterly destroy the universe and all life in it, albeit in his own self-contained parallel universe.
* LargeHam

In this reality, the Fourth Doctor completed his mission to destroy the Daleks in "Genesis of the Daleks", but his actions created a serious temporal rift that resulted in deaths of his companions while the Last Great Time War started "early"[[note]]From the perspective of the combatants, at least[[/note]]. Narvin gave the Doctor an elixir to ensure that he would regenerate into an incarnation who could fight in the new war, creating a more ruthless Doctor who could do what has to be done to end the war.

* IdiotBall: The Doctor's given a BIIIIIIG one... and in fact, the entire '''story''' is a big, giant IdiotPlot. To be fair, the entire audio play ''is'' intended to be humorous and stupid.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Or rather there are no therapists who can begin to understand what you're dealing with. He gets a therapist in ''Asking for a Friend''. It doesn't go well (see above). Even when he finally confesses he's terrified by the prospect of the countless billions who will die if he makes any mistakes and the massive amount of guilt and various trauma he is constantly coping with it causes his therapist to admit she cannot help him.

* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:In the final story the Warrior becomes the Key to Time along with Davros, with both seemingly being erased from the history of their universe to undo the existence of the Time War. The Warrior ends up experiencing all the infinite ways his story could have gone and ended, as well as becoming aware that he's both real and a [[BreakingTheFourthWall fictional character being played by Colin Baker]].]]

* AlternateSelf: He's a version of the Doctor where in his fourth incarnation he tried to destroy the Daleks, which led to the deaths of Sarah Jane and Harry while he was forced to regenerate into a more violent incarnation. The resulting time paradox also created several other alternate Doctors from potential timelines known as aberrations who the Warrior decided to kill, including a version of the Sixth Doctor who was travelling with Peri.
