Transcript by OP

[fscom]

Sometimes I wish I could regenerate. Secret because that's nice, dear.

[(Anonymous)]

Hell and all, who doesn't wish they could?

Every part of being a Time Lord is awesome, unless the being-a-hidebound-asshole parts are actually a species-level characteristic

[(Anonymous)]

Do you think there are any Time Lords who are just really laid back and chill

Or are they all insane and overdramatic, or uptight, or just generally crazy

[(Anonymous)]

Well Romana, eventually.

Uh... Yeah, that is pretty much it.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not familiar with... Dr. Who, right? But by regenerate do you mean reincarnate, or like, regenerate your body? I think it'd be awesome to grow back chipped teeth and such, or even regrow limbs and the lot.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a Doctor Who thing, yeah

How it works in the series is, whenever a Time Lord suffers some kind of fatal injury and dies, they regenerate into a new body (conveniently played by a new actor) and keep on living that way, even though it's the same person

[(Anonymous)]

Timelords regenerate into a new body. And personality wise some things change and others stay the same. So you are sort of a new person sort of the same person.

[(Anonymous)]

It's more or less reincarnation without the whole messy 'being reborn' part. Essentially, Time Lords spontaneously generate a new adult body to inhabit as they die, transformed out of the old one. Personality changes can happen with the shift, but all memories and knowledge are retained and they usually know exactly what just happened, barring something going very wrong mid-process (the main character has had a couple of 'bad' regenerations where he suffered emotional instability and/or memory loss immediately post-regeneration).

It only regenerates fatal damage, though, and it does so by completely transforming and regenerating the entire body. Wouldn't be much good for chipped teeth unless you really wanted to kill yourself (and use up a regeneration) for the sake of it :(

[(Anonymous)]

But it's not just fatal damage - Romana is able to change her form at will and does so for the sake of it.

[elaminator]

I think we can safely say that "living forever" is probably on a lot of people's wish lists. (Or, well, maybe not forever, but probably close enough. You know, considering.)

If I had The Doctor's brains and abilities then maybe I would be into the idea as well. Regeneration certainly has its appeal, but at the same time the thought of living almost indefinitely is terrifying to me.

[raspberryrain]

Indefinitely sounds really good to me. You'd be like an ancient tree. Pure immortality would be more disconcerting.

[elaminator]

IDK...if I'm still self aware, especially if I can't interact much with the world around me, that sounds unbearable. (You mentioning an ancient tree made me think of these Dragon Age characters... or, well, two statues that contained the spirits of people from long, long ago, and watching the world go by around them nearly drove one insane.)

[kallanda_lee]

Don't we all?

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. Regenerating would be awesome.

Unless it's like planaria and there end up being two of you.

[litalex]

You're not alone, OP.
