Blog #22: Fictional Characters: Erin Holbrook

If I could be any fictional character... I'm afraid I'd pick a character that is not too original. I'd be The Doctor from Doctor Who. It isn't because Doctor Who is my favorite work of fiction, or even because The Doctor is my favorite character- though he is certainly high on the list. It is because he would simply be the most fun person to be.

The Doctor, for anyone who doesn't know, is a character from a popular British television show with a cult following. He is 1200+ year old Time Lord. Though he appears human, he is an alien. He can be killed, but he can also theoretically live forever, or very close to it. On top of that, he is not just clever but has the mental capacity to know just about everything (not to say that he does).A time traveler, he also knows everything that was, could have been, cannot be, is, will be, and can be. He takes with him his time machine, which can create endless rooms within itself and is essentially a mansion, and a sonic screwdriver, which makes just about anything he wants do whatever he wants (i.e. opens doors, hacks computers, makes ATM's give him money, etc.) Finally, he is not only unemployed but basically untouchable by any rule or regulation, and lives out his days doing whatever he wants to do, travelling anywhere in time and space.

Who wouldn't want to be the Doctor?
