There is #DoctorWHo fan-canon
(Pre-Revival, Pre-Chibnall) that I really liked.
One is that Hartnell’s Doctor (i.e. all Time Lords) have a single heart in their born bodies and develop second heart after first regeneration. #DoctorWHo

The fan-canon around Hartnell’s Doctor having a single heart were designed to explain several episodes where Hartnell’s heart beat was measured without reference to a double circulatory system. #DoctorWho
Another #DoctorWHo fan-canon
(Pre-Revival, Pre-Chibnall) that I really liked:
All Renegade Time Lords were branded with a tattoo by the Time Lords. #DoctorWHo
(Pre-Revival, Pre-Chibnall) that I really liked:
All Renegade Time Lords were branded with a tattoo by the Time Lords. #DoctorWHo
The fan-canon of Renegade Time Lords being branded with tattoos originated from the Third Doctor’s debut after the Time Lords forced his regeneration and exiled him.
It is lightly referenced in ‘The Doctor’s Wife’. #DoctorWho

Another #DoctorWHo fan-canon
(Pre-Revival, Pre-Chibnall) that I really liked:
All Time Lords are Gallifreyans, but not all Gallifreyans are Time Lords. Time Lords were scholars and Gallifrey was run by scholars ... #DoctorWHo

In the Classic Series non-Time Lord Gallifreyans were referred to as Shobogans. They live outside the Time Lord Citadells.
Moffat teases them in Listen and He’ll Bent. Chibnall calls them out by name in The Timeless Children. #DoctorWHO

A little more info about The Doctor’s relationship with Shobogans ... #DoctorWho
Another #DoctorWHo fan-canon
(Pre-Revival, Pre-Chibnall) that I really liked:
Susan, while Gallifreyan, was not a Time Lord and thus did not have the ability to regenerate. #DoctorWHo
(Pre-Revival, Pre-Chibnall) that I really liked:
Susan, while Gallifreyan, was not a Time Lord and thus did not have the ability to regenerate. #DoctorWHo
Susan not being able to regenerate makes a TON OF SENSE in terms of the Doctor’s character.
The Doctor knows Susan is going to get old and die while he will merely regenerate. The Doctor can’t bear to watch it - so he leaves her to have a full ‘human’ life. #DoctorWHO

(Pre-Revival, Pre-Chibnall) that I really liked:
The ability to regenerate is not a biological ability of Gallifreyans, but a scientific achievement given to Time Lords when they graduate from Academy. #DoctorWHo

The concept that regeneration as a scientific achievement doled out by Time Lords is supported by both Classic and Mondern #DoctorWHO:
In the ‘Five Doctors’, The Master (having exhausted his 12 lives) is promised a new set of regenerations if he helps The Doctor.

Another proof point for the fan-canon that regeneration is a scientific achievement doled out by Time Lords is supported by both Classic (and not an inherited biological ability):
In ‘Time of The Doctor’, again the Time Lords grant a new batch of regenerations. #DoctorWHO

The interesting thing about ‘The Five Doctors’ is Borusa’s entire plot is a quest to become immortal.
However, in same episode the Time Lord Council has the ability to offer The Master a new batch of regenerations.
This poses interesting questions ... #DoctorWHO

So Time Lord leadership can access new regeneration batches.
Why didn’t Borusa just get himself a new batch of regenerations rather than deal w Rassilon?
Conclusion: They must be jealousy gaurded and even The President of Gallifrey can’t access them on his own. #DoctorWHO

There are SIX chapters on the High Council of Time Lords (similar to Harry Potter’s Gryffindor, etc.).
The Doctor is part of the Prydonian Academy.
The others are: Arcalians, Ceruleans, Dromeians, Patrexes and the Scendeleses. #DoctorWho
