| '''Gallifreyans''' were a [[humanoid]] species native to the planet [[Gallifrey]]. The powerful [[Time Lord]]s arose from this species, and considered themselves to be the elite of Gallifreyan society. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book Two (novel)|Interference - Book Two]]'')

| == History ==
| |
| | |
| :''See [[Gallifreyan history]].''
| |
| | |
| == Appearance and biology ==
| |
| Gallifreyans were externally identical in appearance to [[human]]s, but had several biological differences internally.
| |
| | |
| :''See [[Gallifreyan physiology]]''
| |
| | |
| == Culture and society ==
| |
| There was always a [[Lord President|Lord or Lady President]] of Gallifrey, with a council of other Time Lords, approving or vetoing decisions. An exception to this was when the Lord President (ignoring the [[Lord Chancellor|Chancellor]]) broke two [[Laws of Time]] to bring the [[First Doctor|First]], [[Second Doctor|Second]] and [[Third Doctor]] together to solve the problem of the power/life force-drainage into [[Omega|Omega's]] black hole. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors]]'')
| |
| | |
| Time Lords and Gallifreyans regarded the [[Flower of Remembrance]] as an omen of death. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ancestor Cell]]'')
| |
| | |
| A quarter of Gallifreyans on their homeworld worshiped the higher [[Eternal]]s such as Death and Time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Gallifreyans and Time Lords ===
| |
| The term ''Gallifreyan'' was often used interchangeably with ''Time Lord'', despite indications that not all Gallifreyans were members of the Time Lord society. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'' et al.) The Gallifreyan species existed for aeons before the time of [[Rassilon]] and [[Omega]], the founders of Time Lord society.
| |
| | |
| Time Lords may have been just Gallifreyans in possession of a [[TARDIS]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Omega (audio story)|Omega]]'')
| |
| | |
| [[I.M. Foreman]] stated that Time Lords were a separate species due to [[Rassilon]]'s intervention. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book One]]'') The [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Vastra]] said that the Gallifreyans evolved into Time Lords via exposure to the [[Time Vortex]] and the [[Untempered Schism]] over billions of years. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War]]'')
| |
| | |
| At one point in Gallifreyan history, members of Gallifreyan religious orders who were not Time Lords were nonetheless given certain rights: access to time travel, certain genetic privileges, and the right to observe [[High Council]] procedure. However, the High Council later disestablished the churches, monasteries and other religious orders, effectively abolishing these rights. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book Two (novel)|Interference - Book Two]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Within the Capitol ===
| |
| Even within the Time Lord sanctum of the [[Capitol]], "plebeian classes" existed. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin]]'')
| |
| | |
| :''This reference may well indicate the presence of ordinary Gallifreyans, rather than just Time Lords, in the Capitol. In fact, it remains unclear whether particular groups, like the [[Chancellory Guard]] belong to the Time Lords or one of the common Gallifreyan classes.''
| |
| | |
| === Outsiders and outcasts ===
| |
| Living in the wild lands outside the Capitol, bands of Gallifreyans called [[Outsider]]s lived a primitive lifestyle, wearing fur skins and using weapons like bows, arrows and spears for hunting food. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'')
| |
| | |
| Within the Capitol, rebels known as [[Shobogan]]s committed petty acts of vandalism. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin]]'')
| |
| | |
| == Non-Gallifreyan Time Lords ==
| |
| There were at least three, or perhaps four, non-Gallifreyan Time Lords. Although [[Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter)|Jenny]], the Doctor's biological "daughter", was created from his DNA on the planet [[Messaline]] and was therefore a Time Lord who did not originate on Gallifrey, she had the biological characteristics of a Gallifreyan, including two hearts and the ability to use bio-energy to revive herself from a bullet wound. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter]]'')
| |
| | |
| [[Donna Noble]], who was originally a [[human]], was the second known 'anomalous' Time Lord, and the first to possess non-Gallifreyan DNA. She became a human/Time Lord hybrid after a [[human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis|metacrisis]], but her human brain was unable to maintain the knowledge gained by this.
| |
| | |
| The third anomalous Time Lord, also produced during the metacrisis, was the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor|Meta-Crisis Doctor]]. This "Doctor" was able to maintain the knowledge of the Doctor, but only had one heart and could not regenerate. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End]]'')
| |
| | |
| The fourth was [[River Song]], a human with some Time Lord DNA due to having been conceived inside a [[TARDIS]] during flight through the [[Time Vortex]] in addition to some genetic engineering by [[the Silence]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War]]'')
