#rolenva

Keep in mind that I'm using human terms for Gallifreyans here which is going to be not quite accurate

Dela: she's sort of transfeminine. Apart from her first body all of her incarnations have been found close to woman in gender, although bodies do vary. It does depend on the incarnation for the specific level of nonbinary and woman and agender. Her first body was physically male, but whether Baby Dela was a boy or in denial is impossible to say. He wasn't around long enough. What does vary a lot is her presentation though. The second Ardela was very butch, the current one is significantly more feminine. Orientation wise she's generally a lesbian and arospec, it gets a bit muddled sometimes though

Rolenva is transmasc. Always and in every incarnation. This is one of the most important things about her. However, the current, first Rolenva does not know this, hence me always using she/her pronouns. She's in deep, deep denial. In a few regenerations she's going to regenerate into a male body for the first time and he's going to have a lot of realizations. Currently dresses mostly masculine (and alien fashion. Hates time lord robes and collars and such) because 'it's more practical'. Aro and bisexual. More into women generally

Obnik is agender and aroace. Tends to go with whatever name/pronouns fit the body. Does not actually care. Presentation is very consistently Time Lord

Dolin is, uh, it's hard to say. You could describe him as a trans man but that's not really accurate. He used to be 100% a woman for many incarnations. Bodies matched that too. Then some switch flipped in a regeneration and now all his incarnations are 100% men. No bit of nonbinaryness in him. Not into people apart from the weird thing he has going on with Lanro. Which can't be classified in either Time Lord or human terms

Lanro is nonbinary always. Their specific flavor varies, they're often genderfluid too. More into explosions than people, apart from the thing with Dolin

(these are going to have varying amounts of precision)

Dela is about 1100 years old and on her third body. She first regenerated very young and embarrassingly, she fell very unluckily down the stairs at the academy when she was 90. The other students made terrible fun of her and she ended up getting some revenge by using the rules and playing the system to a terrifying degree, which put her on the CIA's radar. Her first body was a boy and rather shy, her second had a more ruthless edge, which let her work her way into an influential position and figure out a fair bit of secrets (hence why she can fake higher security ratings. this Dela usually went by Ardela (longer part of her full name) and enjoyed hacking a lot). Her next regeneration was planned, and not that long ago, a few decades maybe. She's gentler again in this body, and much happier to work with people as people instead of as resources. She looks about 20

Patok is 900 and has regenerated once before at about 400. It was rather traumatic, a big accident or attack that involved a lot of guards. He woke up confused, not knowing who he is surrounded by other people in the same position, injured people and corpses. He hasn't changed much on first glance, neither in his appearance nor in his demeanor. But this Patok has a hardness the first did not. While he very much has fun most of the time, he knows when it's time to be serious. And he's got his priorities sorted: he will (and has done a lot) do pretty much anything to protect the president and gallifrey. He looks somewhere between 25 and 35.

Obnik is somewhere between 4000 and 5000 and on his fifth body. His bodies change a lot visually, but his character is very static. Most of his regenerations were planned, though at least one was the result of an explosion (presumably caused by Lanro. This has never been proven but everyone suspects). He looks about 40 right now

Rolenva is very young at about 250 and has been recruited only a short while ago. She's never regenerated before. She looks a little older than Dela but not much.

2. Talk about their name. What's their long name? What (nick)names are they called by who?

So many thoughts on names!

I also just realized that all of these have a specific pronounciation to me and I wish I knew linguistics so I could describe it properly because I think not all of these line up with english rules on it. I might have to record their names at some point

Ardelanurvatinan is Dela's full name. Nurva is the name of her house. She recently chosen to go by Dela, in her previous incarnation she went by Ardela, which is a more proper way to shorten her name. Narvin, as her boss, still calls her that though. Her cousin Patok (full name Patokanurvallirto, he's called Patok everywhere though) also calls her Del a lot to annoy her.

Obnik's long name is Obnikolanponvell. He sometimes goes by Vell when his current regeneration is a woman.

Fridolinstarcrestulna is Dolin's full name. Starcrest is his house name. The first part of this (Fridolin) I actually got from a hedgehog my brother, some neighbours and I saved last summer. It's what we named him very quickly when the vet needed a name

Rolenvallenum is full for Rolenva. She does not like anything else currently. If you want to annoy her, you can call her Lenva. I think she changes it completely somewhere during the Time War, when she's realized she never was a woman and also lost all her identity, to something that has zero connection with her. maybe even a title

aaannndd I just realized I never made up a long name for Lanro?

favourite animals are here

thank you for asking!!

can i have 7, 14, and 23 for dela

and 1, 2, 10, 29 for rolenva. i know nothing about her but just her name compels me

7. What house are they from? What is it like? Or what is their background?

Dela's house is called Nurva, it's the same as Patok's, given that they are cousins. Although it might, depending on how you see time lord family structures, fit better to call them siblings. Patok's a bit younger but they very much grew up together. It's not a well-known house, nor high-ranked, but it is respected enough. Most of the members are low ranking management or guards somewhere. Dela actually achieved a much higher position than thought of because she's very sharp and ruthless enough in her youth to attract the CIA's attention

14. What traits stay the same between their regenerations?

The main one is her intelligence and ability to read people. She knows what makes someone tick. It's what got her her job. And she's very adaptable in that sense too, she can switch how to appear to people and how to play them very quickly. She's always curious as well. And while her ruthlessness is much more subdued in her current incarnation, it is very much something she is still willing to use if necessary

23. Who are their friends?

Dela doesn't actually have many close friends currently. The closest is probably Patok, but he's also her brother/cousin. She's definitely Obnik's closest friend though. She's a bit of a social butterfly, friendly with everyone but not close to many. I think she and Rolenva might become friends though

1 for Rolenva here

2. Talk about their name. What's their long name? What (nick)names are they called by who?

Her full name is Rolenvallenum. She goes by Rolenva pretty much everywhere, although some family members still insist on calling her Len.

10. Have they changed gender with regeneration before? How did that impact them?

She's never regenerated before, so she hasn't. She's definitely going to though, at some point. With which she might also realize that she wasn't ever quite as much a woman as she thought. Repressed trans characters my beloved <3

And I don't know what number you meant by 29 so I'm just going to give you some more random stuff.

She likes to bite, she's pretty much always chewing on something, and her teeth are usually her first solution to any problem. She may have filed them to be sharper too. She's got a lot of random scattered skills, she's very bad at sticking with things, but she picks stuff up fast. Also I come up with my time lord names by grabbing some random words and then smashing their first syllables together and rearranging letters until it feels good. Her name comes from the gallifrey ot3 and I knew it before I had the slightest idea who she is.

Also feel free to ask more later if you want! I love to talk about these guys

3. Do they have unusual speech patterns?

Obnik is very dry and precise and does not talk much at all, Patok is always quick and rambling, so is Rolenva but she's even less focused, idk if those count

7. Neat or messy hand writing?

There's not much handwriting on gallifrey, so they're all not very practiced. Dela is neat, Obnik is quick and intelligible but messy, Dolin is the only one who can read his own writing. Patok can't handwrite at all

18. Morning person or night owl?
