CHARACTER INFO
Name: the Doctor
Canon:some weird show with time travel Doctor Who
Canon Point: post-The Day of the Doctor
History: http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Eleventh_Doctor
and I guess http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Doctor if you like even more tl;dr AND WHO DOESN'T
Personality: As always, the Doctor is a force for good, the last member of his species, bent on saving space and time from ultimate destruction (or just occasional clusterfuckery). Of course, he's the last of the Time Lords because he killed the rest of them in a Pyrrhic victory over their mortal enemies, the Daleks. This may or may not have given him a wee bit of survivor's guilt that is not at all affected by the fact that the Daleks seem to come back time and time again. (To be fair, so do the other Time Lords - well, mainly just one, the Doctor's old BFF/mortal enemy, the Master.)
(OKAY NO I LIED THEY'RE ALL BACK NOW shut up I wrote this before the special.)
He's centuries old - twelve hundred, according to him, but he's also a big fat liar - and in his youngest-looking regeneration yet. The Doctor acts young and energetic (and is very easily distracted), but he has moments when he's very, very old, and very tired, moments when he feels distanced from every other living thing in the galaxy. This is why he travels with humans, for a different perspective on things - to have someone to tell him "when to stop". Sometimes, after all, he is an alien, and very much a Time Lord, despite spending years in exile (and thennot killing the rest of them). He can be arrogant, haughty, self-centred, and generally a bit of an ass - but, to be fair, he doesn't really mean to. Mostly. It's probably part of the complex that makes ALL THE HUMAN GIRLS fall in love with him (something he will never, ever understand, particularly in this regeneration, which seems to be extra derpy when it comes to girls).
At the end of the day, what the Doctor really wants from his companions is to see time and space through their eyes. It's all old hat to him - he tells Amy that when you treat outer space as your backyard, the problem is that it becomes your backyard. The wonders of the universe have ceased to be wonders for him; what he wants is to experience someone else seeing them for the first time.
The problem with humans, though, is that sometimes, they never quite live up to his expectations or standards. They go and do human things, or they make mistakes, and the Doctor's reminded that even his companions aren't infallible. It wounds him to the quick, because he picks what he considers to be the cream of the crop, and they let him down. His initial impulse is to push them away and sulk - generally in an exceptionally arrogant and Time Lord-y fashion - it's a bit like Willy Wonka at the end of the (Gene Wilder) movie. The companions drank the hypothetical fizzy lifting drink, and now they don't deserve to see all the wonders of the universe because they're just stupid apes after all.
But then, being humans, they remind him of the one little thing he's overlooked - because whatever mistake they made, they inevitably did it because of what they thought was best, whether they were thinking of him or being compassionate towards someone else - they show him what he's missed, that one last piece of the puzzle needed to save the day and make sure that everybody lives.
He's actually quite kind and gentle-hearted - very pacifistic, and extremely opposed to guns. He has a bizarre sense of humour, one that doesn't always make sense to the people he travels with, and is occasionally easily amused by the smallest things. He loves technology of all sorts, and can typically figure out how to use it/break it/fix it/make it do something completely unexpected after just a few minutes of poking around. (In fact, he's particularly good at adapting bits of technology to his own purposes. He's also rather skilled at making technology explode in new and interesting ways.)
Abilities: Psychic powers - the ability to "mind meld" (psychically invade someone's mind - can either broadcast his thoughts/memories or read others), manipulate others (whether via actual hypnosis or simply very strong psychic suggestion/persuasion), sense other Time Lords. He has personal psychic shields that are nearly impenetrable.
He can also sense time - precisely what this does, nobody is certain, but it's a Time Lord thing. It's what makes Jack, a fixed point in time, especially discomforting on an instinctive level.
The Doctor also happens to be a genius from a civilisation that was more advanced than most of the rest of the universe before it was destroyed, which means that he can cobble all sorts of technology together from just about any supplies that are readily available, hack into technology, do all sorts of complicated math-y science-y things, speak a bunch of languages, etc, etc.
And, you know, anything else that happens to be required for the plot of any given episode.
