| ===Gallifreyans and Time Lords===
| |
| The term ''Gallifreyan'' is often used interchangeably with ''Time Lord'', despite indications that not all Gallifreyans are members of that august society. The Gallifreyan species existed for eons before the time of [[Rassilon]] and [[Omega]], the founders of Time Lord society.
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
| There have also been at least two non-Gallifreyan Time Lords: [[Donna Noble]], who was originally a [[Human|human]], but became a Human/Time Lord hybrid after a [[Human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis|metacrisis]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Journey's End]]''), and [[Jenny]], The Doctor's biological "daughter" who was created from his DNA on the planet [[Messaline]] and is therefore a Time Lord who did not originate on Gallifrey ([[The Doctor's Daughter|DW: The Doctor's Daughter]]).
| |
|
| |
| :''Another, possibly apocryphal account, portrays a [[Human]], [[Ace]] growing in her knowledge and understanding of the cosmic order and attaining the position of Time Lord.'' ([[WC]]: ''[[Death Comes to Time]]'')
| |
|
| |
| It was known that a quarter of Gallifreyans on their homeworld worship the higher [[Eternal]]s such as Death and Time. ([[NA]]: ''[[Happy Endings]]'')
| |
|
| |
| ===Within the Capitol===
| |
| Even within the Time Lord sanctum of the [[Capitol]], "plebeian classes" exist. ([[DW]]: ''[[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 Lord 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 in order to eat. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Within the Capitol, rebels known as [[Shobogans]] committed petty acts of vandalism. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin]]'')
