Time Lord

Time Lords

Time Lords are a subset race of humanoids from the planet Gallifrey, so called because of their ability to manipulate time and space through technology more advanced than most other civilizations.

Though they appear human, Time Lords differ from humans in many respects. Their life span can be counted in centuries, and can heal from injuries fairly quickly. They have the ability to regenerate should they be mortally wounded. They have two hearts, a respiratory bypass system, and an internal temperature of 15°C (59°F).

Time Lords can communicate telepathically, though often times this skill is boosted by their TARDIS, with which they share a symbiotic relationship. They can erase or block memories or information from an individual's mind through telepathic interaction. They also have a natural sensitivity to time, sensing the passage of time in a different fashion than humans, as well as being able to see most of time; that is, perceiving the past, present, and all possible futures simultaneously.

The main character of the British science fiction series Doctor Who is a member of this race.
