Names for the Time Lords: Difference between revisions

|rowspan=11|"gods"

|rowspan=16|"Gods", sometimes uncapitalised, is a general real-world term for deities. Instances vary, and sometimes flip-flop, between "gods" being a descriptor for the kind of beings the [[Time Lord]]s are, but not exclusive to them, and cases where "the gods" (or "the Gods") is used to mean "the Time Lords" exclusively; the question is typically contextual, depending upon the culture of the speaker.

|rowspan=24|"Superiors"

|rowspan=24|Used as an extention of "[[Chris Cwej's Superiors]]", a phrase sometimes used for a more specific subgroup whose identity is unclear. However, also claimed in dialogue by members of the species, highlighting not just hierarchical superiority to [[Chris Cwej|Cwej]], but the supremacy they claim over all the [[lesser species]]; They sometimes mention their "Superiority" with a capital S, as in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Requiem (novel)}}. In discussion of the Superiors, the pronoun "They" is capitalised, like pronouns for God in Abrahamic religions. In [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Flickering Flame (short story)}}, [[Iris Wildthyme]] also uses this terminology, equatng "the Superiors" with the preexisting matter of Iris's "mysterious superiors", a term previously used in various works by [[Paul Magrs]] to refer to the Time Lords.
