Homebrew Gallifreyan Species Details

Descending from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterberous, the Galifreyans are known through the universe for not only the technology discovered but also the proficiency with which they win wars. 

The first Gallifreyan descended from three creators, Tecteun, Omega, and the Other. These three discovered the regeneration trait common in all of the Gallifreyans. Thousand years later they discovered time travel. these two traits combined allowed the Gallifeyans to become universal dominators. In relation to the universe, they have self-imposed isolation due to a planet-wide superiority complex.

When young Gallifreyans are eight, they are made to look into the Untempered Schism; a hole in the fabric of time and space. After the [peering many of the children are either motivated to gain as much power as humanly possible, go mad, or simply run. After the peering, regardless of the result, enter the academy until they reach the age of 90 when they finally hit maturity (around 18 in human years). After graduating from the academy, those who desire power typically enter the cut-throat political system of Gallifrey, where killing your predecessor is seen as commendable and enters you into that position. The others become regular Gallifeyans and start a family or enter the military. 

The smallest percentage of students leave the planet and travel the universe. Those ones are not spoken about by the Gallifreyans and typically end up wanted by the Gallifreyan council and president. They are usually wanted for the latent talents shown in their travels such as war strategizing, and inventiveness; or simply wanted due to an extreme amount of bloodlust.
