Plot Synopsis

A nigh-immortal alien known only as the Doctor travels through time and space alongside a diverse cast of human companions. Throughout the show's over 60-year history, the Doctor has been portrayed by more than a dozen different actors, with each taking up the mantle through the in-world process of "regeneration", which allows the Doctor to cheat death at the cost of their appearance and personality changing drastically.

How is it plural?

On numerous occasions, multiple incarnations of the Doctor are seen to interact with each other through various time travel-induced events, viewing each other as neither truly the same nor entirely separate, not unlike different fronters in a plural system.

An in-depth writeup with specific instances and evidence is in the works, stay tuned!
