Time Lords

“	They used to call it the Shining World of the Seven Systems. And on the Continent of Wild Endeavour, in the Mountains of Solace and Solitude, there stood the Citadel of the Time Lords, the oldest and most mighty race in the universe, looking down on the galaxies below.	„
	~ The Doctor talking about Gallifrey and the Time Lords

Summary

The Time Lords, also referred to as the Gallifreyans and the Great Houses, are an incredibly ancient race inhabiting the planet Gallifrey near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, most famously known for their creation of time travel.

Many billions of years ago, during the Dark Times of the Universe, the Time Lords were one of the first humanoid species to evolve in a time when the universe was completely unstructured and chaotic. Advancing at an unparalleled rate, the ancient Gallifreyans spread their empire across the early universe, subjugating any species they encountered and creating the Fledgeling Empires. In time, the Gallifreyans would conduct the anchoring of the thread, establishing a foundation for history, their laws becoming the very laws of time and physics itself. However, as a result of this, the eldritch Great Vampires appeared in the universe and waged war against the Time Lords for a thousand years before being defeated.

After this, through the efforts of Rassilon, Omega and "The Other", the Eye of Harmony was constructed and Time Lord society skyrocketed into an almost utopian, stable society for eons. Although they isolated themselves from the universe, their peace would be broken over time upon their encounter with a mysterious force only known as "the Enemy" in a devastating conflict known as "The War in Heaven". After a half-century of battle, the War in Heaven ended with the severe weakening of the Enemy and the apparent destruction of the Time Lords.

The Time Lords would recover to once again manifest, entering the Last Great Time War against the Daleks, the conflict ravaging space-time, the multiverse, and the Ultimate Void beyond before ending with their seemingly mutual destruction at the hands of the Doctor.

Powers and Stats

Tier: 7-A with Parallel Cannons. 4-B to at least High 3-A with General Technology and Weaponry, higher with preparation. Low 2-C to at least Low 1-C during the Last Great Time War. Low 1-C to High 1-C with their strongest superweapons.

Civilization Type: At least Multiverse level, Higher-Dimensional Civilization (The Time Lords manipulate and oversee the inner workings of the Universe and beyond from Gallifrey, having been the ones responsible for the implementation of the Web of Time, and for the creation of the rational laws of physics which solidified the Universe in a time where there was no set history or laws which defined how the Universe worked. The Time Lords are further the species which kept the walls of reality stable and allowed travel to other universes throughout the multiverse. Capable of reaching through Higher-Dimensions, as the Time War was a severe threat even to the Eternals of Calabi-Yau Space, and spanned the entirety of the Time Vortex and the Ultimate Void beyond)

Name: The Time Lords, Gallifreyans, The Watchmakers, The Masters of Time, Chronarch, Dominus temporis, The Great Houses

Origin: Doctor Who

Classification: Hyper-Advanced Alien Species

Kardashev Level: Type VII (The Time Lords could manipulate and interfere with higher-dimensions and the structure of reality itself to fit their needs, creating layers of Quantum Fields and Transduction Barriers around Gallifrey which twist and stretch across all of the eleven dimensions of reality, and having been the species responsible for the Universe having solidified into a solid, consistent cosmos governed by the laws of physics, rather than magic and pure irrationality)

Age: Individual Gallifreyans are shown to be able to live for several thousand years, though their ability to regenerate allow them to renew their bodies and extend their life up to 13 times. Collectively, the Gallifreyans are said to have been the first intelligent race in the Universe and lived for a billion years as of the last day of the Time War, whilst having maintained absolute control over time for 10 million years as The Doctor's era (from their own perspective, at least)

Population: At least several billion, likely far higher (The Gallifreyans are said to be the first intelligent species to evolve in the Universe, predating humanity by a vast unknown amount of time and maintaining a wide empire which would presumably need a massive population to be kept stable. As of the Last Great Time War, The Doctor stated that there were 2.47 billion children on Gallifrey, a number which is presumably surpassed by the total number of inhabitants in the planet)

Territory: The domain of the Time Lords is implied to have spanned across all of existence, being the species responsible for overseeing and stabilizing the walls of reality across the multiverse, which allowed other beings to travel between parallel-universes/alternate worlds, an ability that was almost completely lost upon their disappearance, as the walls they maintained became permanently closed afterwards. Furthermore, the Last Great Time War between the Time Lords and Daleks took place all throughout existence, ravaging space and time along with rewriting the universe and the history of countless worlds with every passing moment and extending across the entire Time Vortex, reaching the Ultimate Void beyond.

Technology/Abilities: Time Manipulation, Spatial Manipulation, Physics Manipulation, Law Manipulation (The Time Lords were responsible for the establishment of the scientific laws that maintain the universe, having solidified an otherwise malleable and structureless space of infinite possibility with no set history or rationality, and completely removing almost all forms of magic from it), Quantum Manipulation (Parallel Cannons can fire waves of focused neutrinos which break down matter on a quantum level. The Eye of Disharmony, an obvious copy of the Eye of Harmony, could dismantle all quantum matter in space to become entropic black holes), Matter Manipulation (Could remove an entire group of particles, huons, from the face of the universe. The Eye of Disharmony could influence all dark matter, virtual particles, photons, and quantum particle in space to collapse into entropic black holes), Higher-Dimensional Manipulation (Capable of interfering with and manipulating higher-dimensions to fit their needs, even distorting Gallifrey's worldline through 11 dimensions to protect and hide it from enemy attacks), Dimensional Travel (Time Lords oversaw travel between other parallel and alternate worlds), Existence Erasure (The De-mat gun is described as an omnicalculator linked to the causal nexus of Gallifrey, which once fired, rewrites all of creation and history itself so the target's physical form never existed, leaving them as a naked incorporeal soul, cut off from causality itself), Shapeshifting (Through regeneration and bio-engineering technology), Stealth Mastery and Invisibility (Defense casts employed by Time Lords are capable of absorbing radiation from nearby space-time events and lowering their own dimensionality, allowing them to become effectively invisible by manifesting in two, one, or even zero-dimensional forms), Biological Manipulation (Time Lords could bio-engineer themselves and other lifeforms to adapt to any situation and assisted in creating life on other planets in the early universe), Mathematics Manipulation (Time Lord block transfer computations can create and manipulate the structure of space-time), Probability Manipulation, Causality Manipulation (Capable of rewriting history and make so entire planets never existed in the first place. Gallifrey's defenses are described as being sculpted from the timeline itself, being said to be "walls of causality"), Sealing (Can consign entire timelines to the Axis, as well as quantum-lock unstable moments of history to only have a single outcome), Energy Manipulation, Time Travel (With TARDISes and other technologies), BFR (Can detach entire planets from the Web of Time, as well as move them throughout the space-time continuum), Clairvoyance (The Web of Time was created as an extension of the mind and will of the Time Lords, acting as their noosphere which they use to observe and interfere with different points of the timeline along with predicting future events), Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; Capable of manufacturing weapons which target and damage one's identity, rather than their physical self. The Transduction Barrier has been described as a barrier of ideas. Time Lords experimented with creating "conceptual entities" made only of ideas to rewrite reality on at least a planet-wide scale, certain Time Lord technologies can render the very existence of a concept/object/entity impossible throughout space-time. The Time Lords should be comparable to the Celesties who are a faction of the time lords themselves that split from the Time vortex itself by becoming abstract ideas and concepts via block-transfer engines and computational matrices, through a process similar to the Ultimate Sanction), Fate Manipulation (The Heavenly Paradigm is a machine which scans the entire timeline and ensures one always makes the best possible choices, being capable of affecting whole races and civilizations), Gravity Manipulation (Time Lords were responsible for the existence of Black Holes), Soul Manipulation (Time Lords were capable of literally cutting off the irrational part of their own souls and are implied to have technology that transfers/separates souls from out of one`s body), Acausality (Type 4, Time Lords are stated to exist outside “the normal chain of causal events”. Due to the Transduction Barriers, Gallifrey is isolated from N-Space, being a space-time on its own disconnected from the continuum, whilst simultaneously existing in the center of the Web of Time, being more akin to a focal point in causality, rather than a "place". In order to escape the destruction of all existence caused by the Ultimate Sanction, the Time Lords would shed off their physical forms, becoming entities of pure consciousness freed from time and causality), Non-Physical Interaction (can interact with invisible and Incorporeality projections), Higher-Dimensional Existence (The Time Lords are constantly referred to as superior beings, taller, more powerful, and somehow more real. It was like looking at a piece of TV or film where one person was in color and the rest monochrome, being able to interact with Higher Dimensions easily, others beings describes them as multi-dimensional beings that exist in meta-space), Enhanced Senses (They have excellent night vision because they have octagons as well as rods and cones and can see invisible and Incorporeality projections) and Cosmic Awareness (The Time Lords can perceive the structure of the multiverse and notice paradoxes with their sense of smell ), Highly Resistant to Mind Manipulation (Should be comparable to the Doctor, who was able to close and seal his mind from the Eternals), Corruption (type 2; immune to Nanocloud that slowly transforms the target into a Dalek), Sound Manipulation (Can withstands a sonic pulse that hurts people and destroys glass), Morality Manipulation, Biological Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Information Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Time Manipulation (Can withstand Technology Built to modify Biodata that contains the target's personal timeline, where their perception, history, appearance, personality and ontological nature of the individual can be changed and Time Lord's biodata themselves is connected to the Time Vortex), Existence Erasure and Reality Warping (Time Lord’s "reality" is much more solid than other, more ephemeral beings, and as a consequence is that much harder to change or erase. Resisted the effects of the crack in time, which can erase people from time, reality, and memory ), Death Manipulation and Madness Manipulation (Type 2 and 3: All Time Lords are capable of resisting various powers of the Sisterhood of Karn can cause death and insanity with their psychic powers and official Time Lords are able to resist and see the Time Vortex for long periods of time without falling into madness), Perception Manipulation (can see through perception filters)

Attack Potency:

• Standard Weaponry
• Last Great Time War
• Strongest Weaponry and Superweapons

Mountain level with Parallel Cannons (Parallel Cannons fire out a focused stream of neutrinos, completely annihilating matter on a quantum level. Can eat through a planet in a few hours and deplete its atmosphere in nine. Xenaria sliced off a mountain side and possibly flash-fried a whole forest using a Parallel Cannon). Solar System level (Stated to have created defense arrays the size of star systems. Black Stars are designed to crack open Dyson Spheres and can annihilate several billion kilometers of space, with the War King having planned to penetrate The Needle using one. Moved the solar system across two light years of space with a Magnetron, ravaging it in an event similar to a "solar fireball". Stellar engineering is considered common knowledge by Time Lords. Detonated stars in order to destroy Dalek forces during the Time War, and was implied to have done so with ease) to Galaxy level (Homunculette claimed that the Time Lords have taken apart whole galaxies in the past, and the technology present in their arsenal is described as powerful enough to boil them). At least High Universe level with standard TARDISes (confirmed to be far more advanced than The Doctor's TARDIS).

Universe level+ to at least Low Complex Multiverse level (A single Time War-era TARDIS should be comparable to The Master's TARDIS in weaponry and technology. These weaponry include Artron Cannons and Klypstromic Warheads (Artron Cannons are powerful enough to destroy Chronovores, tearing apart their ethereal forms into fading tatters, and Klypstromic Warheads can poison Chronovores` bodies and leave them in a weakened, broken state by irradiating the Time Vortex itself). The Time Lords are confirmed to have deployed millions of these Time War TARDISes along with a multitude of other temporal/dimensional weaponry and technology in their arsenal during the conflict. The Time War further ravaged and weaponized the space-time continuum itself, worsening to spread throughout reality and becoming a severe threat reaching the higher dimensions of Calabi-Yau Space and into the Ultimate Void beyond.)

Low Complex Multiverse level with the Ultimate Sanction (Having been proposed by Rassilon as a last resort for winning the Time War, the Ultimate Sanction would consist of creating a paradox of magnitudes so severe that the resulting ruptures in the fabric of space-time would tear apart the Time Vortex, resulting in all of creation, alongside time itself, simply ceasing to be). High Complex Multiverse level with The Armageddon Sapphire (It is the considered the most powerful and dangerous artifact ever created by the Time Lords, born of Rassilon's darkest moments and representing the culmination of everything he ever learned about the fundamental nature of reality into a single device, with its function being the complete destruction of reality itself, agitating Higgs bosons to such an extent that the entire space-time continuum would collapse into Calabi-Yau Space, akin to a house with its foundations gone), The Moment (Stated to be the most powerful weapon in the entire universe, vastly surpassing the rest of the Omega Arsenal in power and scope, and being capable of completely destroying everything inside the Time War, including the Daleks and the Time Lords). The Eye of Time was more powerful than the power of every TARDIS ever built.

Power Source:

• The Eye of Harmony: An 11-dimensional matrix containing infinite power and existing as the very center of the Web of Time, being described as an "engineered sun" created by placing a collapsing star in a state of complete stasis and taking advantage of all potential energy which never came to be. It is the power source of all of the Time Lord civilization, being the artifact through which they imposed the laws of physics and rationality into the universe, and the powering device behind all of their time-traveling capabilities, capable of generating power comparable to the vacuum energy of the Universe to prevent it from unraveling completely. All TARDISes, including The Doctor's TARDIS, each have an engineered duplicate of the Eye inside with only a mere "fraction" of the original`s power.
• Eye of Time: The Eye of Time was a natural phenomenon that was harnessed by the Time Lords. It was lost at the Fall of Gallifrey and eventually fell into the hands of the Progenitor Daleks. According to the Eleventh Doctor, it was believed by some to be the left-over core of the Big Bang. Its power is greater than every TARDIS ever built.

Industrial Capacity: Vastly High. Capable of building TARDIS plantations which speed-grow countless Battle TARDISes simultaneously, processing data from their deep-time telescope and analyzing billions of years worth of information each nanosecond to improve their forces. The Matrix of Time is a supercomputer on Gallifrey containing a whole micro-universe of all the collective memories, secrets, and knowledge of every Time Lord to ever live, which the Time Lords use to further develop their technology and prepare for future events.

Military Prowess: Immeasurably High. Upon neglecting their duty of maintaining the stability of the Web of Time and focusing all of their resources towards the Last Great Time War, the Time Lords were capable of warring against the Daleks in an immense conflict which constantly rewrote the universe and burned down histories and entire realities, reaching across higher-dimensions and even going as far as weaponizing time itself. A single Time War-era TARDIS was at least comparable to The Master's TARDIS and the Time Lords deployed millions of these in combat against Dalek forces. The Time Lords further took advantage of the mass-manipulation of timelines to resurrect those whom they deemed useful, and can also analyze the entire continuum through the Web of Time and manipulate its biodata to replicate lost soldiers and allies to top condition. In certain instances, they would also make use of "casts", mindless phantom-drones hardwared into the Web of Time itself, or into the operating platforms of the Great Houses' TARDISes, which would act as Gallifrey's first line of defense against enemies whenever necessity arose.

The strategies of Time Lords fleets often consisted of blinking in and out of the Time Vortex to allow for more mobility against enemy forces, as well as placing mechanisms on specific parts of the space-time continuum to completely remove entire events from the timeline if necessary. The Transduction Barrier protected Gallifrey from any outside force, with Time Lords creating a multitude of other defenses and contingencies to protect their home-world and territories throughout their billion-year old history.

Notable Individuals:

• The Doctor: A renegade Time Lord whose origin is constantly changing and contradicting itself, making it difficult to ascertain just what their younger years were like. They would eventually steal a Type-40 TARDIS and use it to travel across all of time and space for centuries, having a particular affinity for the human race in particular. After the Last Great Time War, the Doctor is considered to be the last living Time Lord in existence.
• Rassilon: One of the two core founders of Time Lord society, who would later be known as one of the greatest Gallifreyans who ever lived. Having betrayed fellow co-founder, Omega, he became the first Lord President of Gallifrey and would be their leader for ages to come. After being resurrected to guide Gallifrey during the Last Great Time War, he was ultimately exiled by the Twelfth Doctor and joined with the Cybermen to attain revenge, only to be defeated and disappearing into the unknown afterward.
• Omega: One of Time Lord society's co-founders alongside Rassilon, initially born with the name Peylix. While planning to harness the energy of the star Qqaba with the Hand of Omega, Rassilon betrayed his friend and caused him to be banished to a universe composed of anti-matter, creating his own world there and planning his revenge while the Time Lords would revere him as a hero.
• The Other: The mysterious third founder of Time Lord society, guiding them to their current society alongside Rassilon and Omega. He appears to have some sort of connection to the Doctor, by some accounts being reborn as the Doctor through the Looms, and by others to be the Doctor from some point in the future who traveled back in time to aid in the development of the Time Lords.
• The Master: One of the Doctor's closest friends during his childhood, where he was known as Koschei. However, after gazing into the Untempered Schism, he began to grow mad over constantly hearing the sound of drums in his mind to the point of becoming a sociopathic renegade. This, in time, would make him become one of the Doctor`s greatest arch-enemy, seeking to spread evil and conquer the universe for himself. The Master has faced the Doctor throughout his incarnations, continuing after the Last Great Time War to become the only other living Time Lord in existence.
• Romana: Full name Romanadvoratrelundar. A Time Lady who was sent by the White Guardian to assist the Doctor in obtaining the Key to Time, but stayed to accompany him on many of his journeys. She would soon part ways with him to remain in E-Space, but returned to later become the Lady President of Gallifrey until being ousted by Rassilon shortly before the Last Great Time War.
• Morbius: A previous head of the High Council of the Time Lords who attempted to turn their non-interference policy into an active military conquest. This quickly led to him being banished by the Time Lords, before he attacked the universe at large alongside the Cult of Morbius, and while he was soon defeated and disintegrated as punishment, he would continue to live on as a disembodied brain. He would gradually attempt to have a body built for himself, before battling the Fourth Doctor.
• The Rani: True name Ushas, a Time Lady who knew the Doctor during her youth. She would eventually ally herself with the Master and have several battles against the Doctor, but her status after the War in Heaven is unclear.

Weaknesses: For mysterious reasons, there are a few select points in time and space which the Time Lords cannot directly control or access. The poison in the Judas Tree prevents them from regenerating and can kill them in at least 32 minutes.
