TARDIS KEY: This looks like a front door key, but has a complex crystaline coding that is unique and attuned to the body prints of the Doctor and any companions he deems reliable enough to have access to the TARDIS. The key and lock can be reprogramed from the main TARDIS console. If necessary, the Doctor can give spare keys to companions, but because of the obvious risk involved in this, he rarely does so.

ROLE-PLAYING NOTES: In his second incarnation, the Doctor appears distinctly ruffled and comical owing to his shapeless clothing, mischievious blue eyes twinkling in his cheerful, wrinkled face, and a head topped by a mop of tossled black hair.
The second Doctor is an accident waiting to happen: He blunders his way through time and space relying on luck and quick thinking to extricate himself and his companions from trouble. He often seems to be nothing more than a bumbling idiot, an ilusion that is usefully disarming and conceals the Doctor's true intelligence from potential enemies. The Doctor will clown his way through adversity to put his enemies off guard until he finds their vulnerable points.
Yet the Doctor's clowning and seeming ineffectiveness is not always an act: he is easily flustered, especially by his less experianced companions, who can panic him into hasty, ill-considered action. It is then that he begins to doubt his abilities or the safety or effectiveness of his equipment. A victim of fast changing moods, the Doctor can look cheerful, sad, sulky, and then bemused in a matter of minutes. Even when things are against him, however, the Doctor continually thinks of escape plans or ways of outbluffing or outmeneuvering his opponents.
The crusty nature of his first incarnation has gone: the Doctor welcomes the presence of companions aboard the TARDIS and meets the unknown with a cheerful, disarming grin. He regards his companions as charges that need protecting and shows great concern if one of them goes missing or is threatened. His moral sense of good and evil is more balanced, and he will do his utmost to thwart or destroy what he believes is wrong. By nature the Doctor loves a puzzel: he is intrigued by things that are out of place. His scientific meathods are haphazard, but somehow they get results. While the Doctor thinks he will often toot tunes on his recorder or relax or even dance a jig. He can become obsessed with small objects that to him are quite important yet seem irrelevant to anyone else.
