Time Lords

Characteristics

The Time Lords live on a planet known as Gallifrey, a yellow-orange planet. A large city called the Capitol resides on the planet, where a large number of Time Lords live. All Time Lords are part of the species known as Gallifreyans, but not every Gallifreyan is a Time Lord, though many involved with the show have interchangeably referenced the Time Lords being either a race or a species. Time Lord society is largely present within the Capitol, also called the Citadel, with the land outside of the city being a desolate wasteland. The Capitol contains the Academy, where young Gallifreyans are raised as Time Lords. Those who drop out of Time Lord society live outside of the Capitol, and are dubbed "outsiders", while those who become Time Lords tend to be from "ruling houses", which are implied to be at the top Gallifreyan society. Gallifrey is protected by an impenetrable barrier, which prevents most forms of attack.
