New avatar New Story:
After a hundred years or so of being a ginger, reuniting with the Ponds, traveling about with a robot horse that reminded him a bit too much of his past life (Number 10), the Doctor finally regenerated. Once more he was a he, it was good to be in familiar territory again. The female body was an interesting experience but hopefully it be a while before he had another one of those.
His new body in addition to being male was bit old and a bit rickety, forcing him to walk with a cane. The face wasn't that bad, reminded him of Hugh Laurie. The voice though was sadly American, while he never wished for a short life, he didn't know how long he could stand the sound of his own voice. Scottish was acceptable, but American?
While Doctor Whooves did remind him a bit too much of when he was still in his first regeneration cycle, it was a rewarding friendship. One that lasted most of his last life until the horse decided to stay in the alternated dimension they visited. So, robot companions had some definite advantages over humans. Which brought him to his new companion, Journey Red
Journey was an android from a planet long at war with itself. However the poor girl seemed to have a glitch in her programming and didn't want to fight. She knew how, was very good with her sword, nearly taking his new head right off when her got a bit too curious about her design. When he asked if she wanted to come with him she jumped on the chance.
Yeah the avatar doesn't really show up till the end. Sorry I wanted to set up a bit about which Doctor she was traveling with.
