External Anatomy:

Gallifreyans are identical to humans in their appearance

Gallifreyan children age at a similar rate to human children (The Sound of Drums) but upon hitting puberty their ageing would slow with their teenage years lasting for decades (Legacy of the Daleks) 

When fatally injured or sick, Gallifreyans have the ability to regenerate when they would usually die

If injured, but not severely enough to require regeneration, a Gallifreyan can slip into a “healing coma” where they would appear dead but they can dedicate all their energy to healing (Inferno, Planet of the Daleks, EarthWorld, Vanishing Point)

Some Gallifreyans can change their eye colour without the need for regeneration (Vampire Science, Doctor Who and the Daemons)

Gallifreyans are superior physically to humans (Terror of the Autons)

Gallifreyan bones can withstand pressures and impacts which would shatter human bones (The End of Time)

Gallifreyans have resistances to both extreme cold (Tomb of the Cybermen, Planet of the Ood) and extreme heat (The End of the World)

Gallifreyans can survive exposure to vacuums for brief periods (The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe)

Gallifreyans can resist higher-frequency sounds which would deafen a human (The Christmas Invasion, Partners in Crime)

There is a vulnerable nerve cluster in a Gallifreyan’s left shoulder which can disable them if hit (Set Piece)

Gallifreyan reflexes and dexterity are far above humans with the ability to perform actions which humans can’t (Terror of the Autons, The End of the World, The Doctor’s Daughter)

Gallifreyans can see in the dark (Lucifer Rising) and notice incredible amounts of detail from distances which humans would find impossible (The Eleventh Hour)

Gallifreyans can identify substances by taste including specific details about the composition of the material (The Christmas Invasion, Bad Therapy, Tooth and Claw, The Idiot’s Lantern, The Eleventh Hour, Day of the Moon, The Time of the Angels, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)

Internal Anatomy:

Gallifreyan blood is darker in colour than human blood and has an orange tint to it (The Two Doctors)

Gallifreyans have a two hearts (The Power of Three, The Doctor’s Daughter) but can survive with only one working heart although in a greatly weakened state (The Shakespeare Code, The Power of Three)

Gallifreyans have 2 extra ribs compared to humans giving them a total of 26 ribs (Blood Heat)

Gallifreyans natural body temperature of 15°C/59°F (Blood of the Daleks)

Gallifreyan brains are larger and more complex than human brains (The Brain of Morbius)

Gallifreyans can separate their brain hemispheres allowing them a greater ability to multitask (Island of Death)

Gallifreyan lungs are the same size as humans but they have extra pulmonary tubes similar to a lymphatic system to supply oxygen to their dual hearts this also makes them naturally buoyant in water (Island of Death)

Gallifreyans can survive longer without oxygen to the point that a human would be unconscious (The Two Doctors, Mummy on the Orient Express)

Gallifreyans do not need as much sleep as humans and can survive on as little as one hour of sleep (The Talons of Weng-Chiang, Mummy on the Orient Express, Night and the Doctor, The Highlanders)

Gallifreyans are immune to the effects of helium gas and some anaesthetic gases (The Robots of Death)

Gallifreyan skin has a deeper subdural and subcutaneous layer which gives them greater durability (Burning Heart)

Gallifreyan DNA has a triple helix structure (The Crystal Bucephalus, Doctormania)

Gallifreyan bodies can reject and expel cyanide (The Unicorn and the Wasp)

Gallifreyans can and do have allergic reactions to specific substances (The Caves of Androzani)

Other Abilities:

Gallifreyans can share a telepathic link with each other allowing long distance conversations (The Three Doctors, The Pirate Planet)

Gallifreyans are largely resistant to mind control (The War Machines, The Green Death)

Gallifreyans have several mental manipulation abilities including: hypnosis (Terror of the Autons, The Ribos Operation, Fear Her), mind-reading (The Girl in the Fireplace), sharing thoughts (The End of Time), relief of mental disorders (The Shakespeare Code), inducing sleep or unconsciousness (Listen), influencing dreams (The Eleventh Hour), transferring knowledge (The Lodger), and memory erasure (Journey’s End)

Gallifreyans have the ability to sense all possible timelines radiating from an event (The Parting of the Ways, The Fires of Pompeii) including negated timelines (Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS)

Indie semi-selective OC sideblog from the Dresdenverse, open to crossovers

She was willing to travel with her, after all. That was suspicious enough.

“Oh yeah. Had it confiscated a couple times, but it always comes back to Mamma… Well, or Daddy. It depends, really. I happen to be on my chick period.”

“It may have had something to do with some failed mission. I may also have  called one of the members a ‘pompous wiseass’.” Yassai admitted.

She hadn’t meant to insult them, but after losing all her crew and her TARDIS needing repairs and her squad needing her... she’d been young and just a little hot-headed.

But at least she’d always been the same. Yassai wouldn’t admit she was a little afraid of regenerating, but all things considered, she was. 

“As long as it doesn’t mean chick-flick movies while in battle...” 

6. In a room with a locked door and barred windows

The Pilgrim opened an eye, feeling too lazy to do much more. She didn’t remember falling asleep, but it was nice and it was comfy… and she wasn’t on the chair she had in her TARDIS. And she wasn’t sitting. She was on the ground, in fact, and her hands were bound behind her back. 

She’d have preferred the TARDIS, but at least the situation was enough to wake her up. As far as she could see thanks to a sliver of light coming from the corner of a window that was probably both barred and reinforced, the room was empty save for her, a dusty old couch and… was that a human? 

“What’s a girl like you doing in a place like this?” The Pilgrim joked, her voice cheerful. 

But more importantly, she wanted to destroy something, anything. The thing was, she was locked in an almost empty room –don’t mind the human and the alien lady she had just met before they were attacked–, and she had her hands bound behind her back.

Well, there was a door and she had two healthy legs. Do the math.

Yes, she was kicking the door with all her might as an angry child in the middle of a tantrum. The lady’s cheerful voice only made her kick harder, and even grunt.

“Relaxing, don’t you see?!” She gave the doo another kick, and another and another. “Stupid, foolish, unconsidered and idiotic Doctor! If I ever see him again he will wish to regenerate into this door!”

The Pilgrim arched an eyebrow at the human’s determination to inflict pain and suffering unto the unsuspecting door, actually slightly impressed. 

“You know, I’d believe you humans do kickboxing for relax if you weren’t trying to make that door repent its existence.” Yassai said, getting on her feet and walking towards Sarah. “I take it that you have some story with the Doctor?” She asked, before glancing at the chair and then and the girl. They had more pressing matters, but she was curious. And she was also not staying with her hands bound when somebody inevitably heard the noise of a door getting beat up. 

Or send “Restrained?” for a randomly generated number.
