[[WMG: Both the Cartmel Masterplan and the Timeless Child origins are canon.]]
Eons ago, before the Whoniverse existed, a powerful and terrible being was torn in half, with both halves cast into the multiverse foam. These two halves became the Timeless Child, an innocent blank slate with the ability to change their face, and the Other, a strange being who aided Rassilon and Omega in founding Gallifrey for their own ends.
Both halves were recompleted when the soon-to-be-Doctor peered into the Schism-but they ran from what they once were, and has been running ever since.
* The identity of the original being that was torn in half? [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Nyarlathotep]]. The Doctor knows that if they answer the Question of what their name is, that if they acknowledge they are the Crawling Chaos, the Outer Gods and all there kin will descend upon the Whoniverse to forcibly peel the Herald of the Outer Gods from the Doctor with no regards for the people of the universe-and the Doctor cares too much for the universe to let that happen.

[[WMG: The Valeyard is the result of an Elysian Field.]]
In ''Missy: Series Two'', the Lumiat was revealed to be the incarnation after Missy despite the latter having been killed beyond regeneration by the Saxon Master thanks to an Elysian Field, whereby Missy distilled all of her goodness into the Lumiat. It's logical that it can be used for the opposite end, and it fits perfectly with how the Valeyard was described as the embodiment of the Doctor's inner darkness.

* The Gallifrey Chronicles has three potential Ninth Doctors being seen. Recap/TheNightOfTheDoctor has AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho become canon, meaning the Eighth Doctor Adventures could go elsewhere. Fitz could have died just after the end and the Doctor regenerated into Shalka Doctor. the Time Lords were still destroyed in this story which was an original idea for a series leading from "Scream of the Shalka". However, like in this story, the Time Lords would still exist in the Matrix. They guide the Doctor to areas to help.

Or ''a'' god incarnate, at least. He's clearly more than just another Time Lord, but they're at the apex of the [[Main/TechnologyLevels technological ladder]]. Above them are only the various cosmic powers of that universe, gods in all but name; the Doctor is one of these. This not only explains how he can consistently defeat other cosmic powers, but also such other mysteries as the Morbius faces, why his true name is so secret, and various enigmatic comments from the seventh Doctor.

This serves to explain matters like Main/ZeeRust-ed glimpses of the future from past episodes (including why Zoë’s early 21st century doesn't look much like Rose's) and inconsistencies like the UNIT dating controversy. The Doctor's travels (and those of other time-travelers) have altered galactic history quite a bit. As the Doctor seems to take a special interest in Earth and humanity, his interventions in particular have drastically shifted human history many times.

This was long before we started hearing about him having flings with various historical figures. Long before he developed his human fetish. Maybe this is why 4/Romana fics are so common; because she's just about the only Classic companion he wouldn't have been [[{{Squick}} squicked]] out by had they tried to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E10TheDoctorDances "dance"]]. At some point, maybe as a result of kissing Grace Holloway, maybe as a result of spending time with Captain Jack, he decided he had a bit of a [[BoldlyComing fetish for humans]], which is why 10, 11 and 12 have so many flings with them. The Doctor just wants to mate, and he's into [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe one-hearted space babes]].

Hence why none of them survived. All Time Lords not on Gallifrey or taking a vacation anywhere were summoned to the very beginning of the Time War. This was done by the Time Lords because a) they needed everyone they could get and b) it was [[JumpingTheSlipperySlope the beginning]]. If anyone refused, [[MoralEventHorizon they were fed to House.]] Indeed, House may be one of the monsters created during the Time War-thrown back half a million years to avoid suspicion.

Think of it this way. The first dimension of time is linear, unaltered time; the one the Doctor is ''in'' when he steps outside the TARDIS. This is what the TARDIS can move through. The second dimension of time is a bit trickier to explain. Let's take Amy Pond's parents as an example. Timeline A is the timeline in which Amy's parents existed, and always existed, and were never absorbed by the Time Field. Timeline B is the timeline in which they never existed, as they were erased by the Time Field. Timeline C is the timeline in which Amy's parents were returned to existence. Timeline D is the timeline in which the ''Doctor'' is brought back into existence. The version of Amy's wedding we see is in this timeline. The second dimension of time moves in that fashion, going from Timeline A, to Timeline B, to Timeline C, to Timeline D. TARDISs can't travel through it in a non-linear order, but they can be used to recreate earlier timelines artificially. Although the TARDIS wasn't used in the above example, what I mean is that Timeline C is almost a recreation of Timeline A, but with bits of Timeline B left over. This also explains why the Doctor and the Master always meet in the right order; their TARDISs are moving linearly on the same dimension, if you will.

The companions are humans in the Matrix, but every so often the machines get involved and PowerUp a companion (like the DoctorDonna or when Rose looked into the time vortex) to help the Doctor defeat an especially destructive/bugged program. They immediately remove these program enhancements once these threats are over, hence why these companions all end up reverting to a purely human form afterward, often causing damage of some kind.

...inflicted by [[ComicBook/GrantMorrisonsBatman The Black Glove]]. (I wasn't sure which of those things to put after the other.) Anyway, I got this idea after noting that while the Doctor has always been eccentric and lively to certain degrees, the last three in particular have been increasingly ooh-what's-that energetic. Now rather than being, say, the result of rising standards in the media of what can hold our attention as a quirky, quick-thinking hero, or something to that effect, a friend of mine (not too up on ''Doctor Who'') suggested offhandedly that he had discovered meth. Now, of course, our friend the Doctor would never turn to drugs like that, but what of a sinister organization known for weaponizing drugs and using them to push the boundaries of succeeding at killing the hero? Well, that it should be the villains of a comic I've never read is strangely-fitting icing on the cake, but the point is he died of too many uppers and is still working through it.

The Series/StarTrekEnterprise episode "In A Mirror, Darkly" credits also included a shot of the moonlanding but the flag was the Earth flag and the space suit was more advanced than in reality. This is consistent with the Unit years of Doctor Who which hinted not only at a more powerful United Nations but at a more advanced space programme, suggesting it's quite believable there would have been an early united Earth space landing (even if it had to be kept secret from the population). The episode also showed people attacking the Vulcans when they landed and taking their guns, which would make sense if you were as used to alien invasions as the people of the Doctor Who universe are.

The drumming sound in his head? It's actually the bass line for the ''Doctor Who'' theme. He is subconsciously aware that he is a fictional character in a fictional universe and meant to be a Main/DesignatedVillain for the series, which the constant theme stuck in his head keeps reminding him of, and it compels him to fight against The Doctor and be evil. How did he get this way? By seeing into the rift that all Time Lords look into as kids, in reality a rip in their fictional dimension into ours; those who look into it either run away in denial of seeing "the real world", go mad upon realizing they're nothing but fictional constructs, or become GenreSavvy (AKA "inspired") as a result.

Sure, there's been ShipTease [[HeroesWantRedHeads with gingers]] like Good Queen Bess and Amy Pond, but that's usually unrequited on their side, and the Doctor wants to ''be'' ginger instead.

It seems that our Doctor has a thing for blondes.

For one thing, they are childhood friends, if not [[FoeYay more than that]]. For another, we have seen the Doctor save the Master several times, and likewise a couple times as well, so it's not unprecedented. The wibbly wobbly ball makes the whole thing more complicated, because their timelines might not always perfectly sync up, meaning that, an older version of the Master might wind up saving a younger version of the Doctor, or likewise. This causes fixed time, forcing the Doctor to save a younger Master in order to stick to the established timeline. It's a given at this point that the Master will survive certain death situations (this could be applied to Davros and the Daleks as well, incidentally), to the point where writers don't even always bother to explain how. This theory could potentially fill in the gaps caused by a lot of unexplained villain survival.

Think about it. He did badly in his classes, went against the very foundation of Time Lord society (i.e. non-interference)ran away from the untempered schism. Some of the doctor's lines suggests this. The hermit acted as a guardian parent after he'd lost his biological parents. He used to play at the Master's house alot because he had lost a real home, and what about the "it's not easy being the only child left out in the cold you know" line, that was him being rejected and forced out of the house. As he had bad grades, he couldn't get a decent life on Gallifrey and was forced to sleep rough. In the end, he got fed up and ran off to see the universe (and possibly to stop Susan from getting a terrible life on the streets like he had up to that point.)

In the episode [[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVDemonsAndAngels Demons and Angels]][[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aeaac7s1dhienmzwwhuqqhb8y0jxlneb6exirkudxms.jpg the TARDIS can be seen]] just before the red dwarf explodes. What makes this teory possible is that in that episode the crew made a device that accidentally splits the ship, and everything on it, into its good and evil halves after it explodes. The theory states that just after the red dwarf exploded, the TARDIS landed there and the explosion destroyed it and the doctor,but created two versions of the TARDIS and the doctor. One good,the regular doctor and one bad,The Valeyard.

[[WMG: The TARDIS's existence is an infinite time loop]]
At some point after the Doctor's final death, whenever that is, the Time Lords take the TARDIS back to Gallifrey and refurbish it to be used by the Doctor for the first time. This is why the Fugitive Doctor's TARDIS is stuck as a police box, even though the chameleon circuit was broken during the First Doctor's era and it's implied that the Fugitive comes from before then- the circuit had already been broken and the repairs don't stick.

[[WMG: Timelines of the alternate Doctors!]]

He got exiled but this 3rd doctor was evil so he became a dictator!

And Pete's World could be the world where the Doctor fixed the TARDIS back in his first incarnation before the age he would be in An Unearthly Child, meaning that the TARDIS went where the Doctor and Susan wanted.

Which means Susan did'nt go to Coal Hill and instead, after the Time Lord Academy, started travelling on her own TARDIS with John and Gillian.

Which also means Ian and Barbara did'nt met the Doctor. Which means he's known as Theta Sigma instead.

Vicki and Steven just weren't born. Neither was Zoe - or even Leela or Jack Harkness. Instead their ancestors married other people. This is because the Doctor had other adventures and thus changed the flow of time.

The Doctor also regenerates shortly after fixing the TARDIS and while Susan's at the Academy, this also before the age he would be in An Unearthly Child. So he's a 2nd Doctor but not Troughton, since he regenerated into different circumstances.

Though he does still get a Sonic Screwdriver and a K9. He also has a Space-Time-Visualizer, keeps 500 year diaries for each incarnation, even jelly babies, psychic paper, and undershirts with question mark lapels. Basically he's a mix of various Classic Doctors but also NuWho.

Dodo still exists, and has like a few adventures with this 2nd doctor but then goes back to Earth, where Ben and Polly join instead.

Eventually Ben and Polly leave after marrying each other, Polly becomes pregnant a while later. They don't last long as 2nd Doctor companions either.

Since this 2nd Doctor is'nt the 2nd Doctor we know, he does'nt meet Jamie and Victoria. His companions are a boy from the 26th century and a girl from the 17th. Both are around 22 when they start travelling with the Doctor. Both are about 25 when they leave.

Sometimes after they leave, the Time Lords exile this 2nd Doctor still to Earth, but with Torchwood in the USA instead of with UNIT. (Brig, Benton, Yates, Liz, and Jo exist, but they have their own adventures instead. They might have met the Doctor like, once, at a UNIT\Torchwood gala affair thing, but not talked to each other much.)

This alternate 3rd Doctor has a Torchwood Team of 2 men and 2 women. All of them are from the 1970's. Initially he seems to be their ally, but eventually they lock him in the basement and experiment on him so the Torchwood Team can get regenerations. They also manage to copy TARDIS technology.

Eventually they leave an alternate 5th Doctor (Yes. 5th.) alongside K9 and the TARDIS in the basement.

Sarah Jane resques them, and travels with Alterna!5th and K9. She is 22 when that happens, and is 29 when she eventually leaves. K9 leaves with her, and she is also given a Sonic Lipstick. She goes on to marry Harry Sullivan.

The Fifth Doctor goes to Gallifrey again, becomes Lord President, and goes with Romana on the quest of the Key to Time. After the Key to Time is completed, it causes them to regenerate. Alterna!Fivey into an Alterna!Sixie, and Romana into a Romana II different from Lalla Ward's. But both have similiarities to Princess Astra's bloodline. They marry each other and go to live on Gallifrey, they have a son and daughter together, and eventually Romana becomes Lady President herself!

Time passes. The son and daughter graduate from the Academy. Alt!Romana II is still Lady President, and Alt!Sixie is still vice-president. This is while our Doctor would be the Eighth Doctor and travelling with Charley Pollard and C'Rizz.

A lot of other time passes. Theta Sigma VI and Romana II manage to stop the Time War. (Meanwhile in our timeline, Eighth is travelling with Molly.)

A lot of yet other time passes. Meanwhile the Ninth Doctor travels with Rose, Theta Sigma regenerates into Theta Sigma VII.

Theta Sigma VII also manages to repair the TARDIS' chameleon circuit. He travels with his own K9 as well as teen alien girl and boy, from a different planet each. The two teens are about 11 when they join, and about 17 when they leave.
