Nope you aren't a time lord with the ability to regenerate umpteen times and travel thru time and space, who calls himself the doctor. That's a different thread.
In this one, you can tell which character you mostly feel a slight, moderate or heavy likeness of. Recurring character, audio only character, comic book character, one time only character, whatever you decide, and whomever you decide, good guy, bad lady, pretty boy, or ugly meep.
Mine's easy: been that way for 30 somethin years now. Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart.
A soldier who follows orders. A man who feels strongly about his love of country A myriad of reasons, I might get to elaborate on later.
Have fun.

He created the anti-Zygon nerve toxin mentioned in "Zygon Invasion/Inversion". thr only "out" I can imagine is he was trying to make a knock-out gas but came up with a toxin. We k ow the toxin mysteriously disappeared in a way only someone with a TARDIS could pull off, maybe Harry realised his mistake, called Sarah who has Mr Smith call the Doctor. but chemical warfare is a war crime,if Harry intended to make a nerve toxin he is a war criminal.

The Zygon Inversion made him responsible for the development of a nerve gas called Z-67 from Zygon prisoners which turned them inside out. I honestly don't believe that story, the man was working on developing a cure for HIV and there was an entire book (written by Ian Marter no less) that had Harry very uncomfortable with being transferred to NATO's chemical weapons research division. I suspect that he developed the gas by accident and was prevented from destroying his notes and disposing of his experiments by those overseeing the project. I very much doubt he did it willingly. He'd be repelled to learn that they named it after him.

I read about all that, and vaguely remember it in the story. But a war criminal? Harry Sullivan? That's just asinine!
(Personally I thought the doctor was the criminal in that story. But that's another thread.)

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Sergeant Benton: quietly competent supporting character who knows how to get stuff done and doesn't make a fuss.

Fitz Kreiner, more often than not a cowardly lazy daydreamer but also a very loyal, level headed, and down to earth fish out out of water who never lets the strife and responsibilities of his travels with the Doctor to stop him from having fun in the process.

They never specifically name him so in my head-canon it wasn't him. When the Doctor refers to the 'the idiot's gas' he could just means that it was an idiotic thing to make in the first place, so it's not necessarily a reference to Harry (plus in Revenge of the Cybermen he calls Harry an imbecile, not an idiot).

I suppose I'm Adric.
Not sure how I feel about that revelation. I wanted to be Avon, but Adric I am.

Actually its:
Bit of Ace and Fitz Devil may Care mixed with the Brig's sense of duty and his "I just do the best I can" from Battlefield

A bit of Hex, compassionate and wanting to help everyone but with the hotheadedness of Ace and the sense of justice that Sarah Jane had.

Oh my god... I'm the tin dog...
... Is what I would say, but I'm pretty sure someone else has dibs on that. So, I'd probably say Ian Chesterton - enjoying the marvels travelling from an academic view as well as from an ordinary perspective, but with a desire to head home when all is said and done.

I'd love to see a story where Harry accidentally creates that gas and is horrified by the results, leading to either his resignation or dismissal. Then, of course, he can use the space-time telegraph on the way out to bring in the Doctor. As for who I relate to the most... I don't know. I'd like to say Benny or the Brig. Unless Jackson Lake counts - the man who watched too much Doctor Who and thought he was the Doctor. We can all relate to that.

No, unfortunately they do later say 'Sullivan's gas'. I was appalled; he was an officer, an English gentleman and a concientious medical doctor who went out of his way to *save* lives, human or alien. A good bloke in the TARDIS who gave a unique dynamic to Season 11 (and so well played by Ian Marter, and created by ex-Navy man Barry Letts - a truly great producer - who would no doubt be disgusted by the idea.) Harry Sullivan deserved better. Finally, in 'Terror of the Zygons' there were no prisoners on which to experiment; the Doctor blew up the ship with most of the Zygons in it, UNIT shot one (later dispersed by Warlord Broton) and the Brig. shot Broton to save the Doctor's life. Therefore, the gas allegation was false (and probably no such gas ever existed, it was all part of the Doctor's 'Truth or Consequences' bluff.). Madam Inquisitor, I rest my case.

I'd like to lie convincingly and say the early version Mike Yates. But the truth is that ~50% of us secretly know we are Adric and that's why he is despised so intensely... EDIT: Having now listened to the first two of the new trilogy with Adric, he's been given an audio makeover and I'm not sure I could now live up to being Adric... this gets worse...
