History TimeLord / Videogames

At the end of Mother 1, Giygas could not truly transform or change his ways; what he REALLY needed was for another child with a baseball cap and a striped shirt to essentially save him. After he was defeated by Ness, he went into dormancy, and was eventually reincarnated as Lucas because he was the only one who could stop Porky. When Lucas grew up, he returned to the past and had a child, Ness. He then took a job with horrible hours so that he would never be near Ness before he defeated the Giygas version of his father, hence creating a paradox.

** Third Sonic (Sonic X/Sonic Rush/Shadow The Hedgehog/Sonic Unleashed "The JasonGriffith Sonic"): Regenerated after being caught in a mob of [[UnpleasableFanbase angry fanboys]].

** Eighth Tails (Sonic Colors The KateHiggins Tails): Current.

** Seventh Amy (Sonic Free Riders "The CindyRobinson Amy"): Current.

** Fifth Amy (Sonic X/Sonic Rush/Shadow The Hedgehog/Sonic Unleashed "The LisaOrtiz Amy"): Regenerated after an [[DieForOurShip assassination attempt]] by a [[FanPreferredCouple SallyxSonic supporter]].

!!The King of Hyrule/King of Red Lions is a Time Lord.
* How else would he know EXACTLY where Link was going to land after being thrown by the Helmaroc King? I doubt he could pick up Link with his head and get him in the back of the boat. This would also explain how he knew to get to the Triforce before Ganondorf, as well as being able to get there in time. His TARDIS is obviously the King of Red Lions (the TARDIS has been said to be sentient, so why not a sentient boat? It'd travel time by sailing or something).

*** [[AfroAsskicker The hair]].

* Uh, Edgeworth has returned as the lead character in a new Franchise/AceAttorney game.

* Uh, Edgeworth has returned as the lead character in a new AceAttorney game.
* That is an {{Interquel}} set several months after [[PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Trials & Tribulations]], so the theory still counts.

The man has a different appearance in each game and in the most recent one, it is said that he is over 100 years old yet he's in great physical shape. Factor in the ambigious endings for each game and it seems pretty likely that every game has a different regeneration of him.

* I always thought the train in the original game was his TARDIS.

Think about it. Al Mualim translates from Arabic as "The Boss" or "The Master." He used an [[TheChessmaster elaborate scheme]] to gain control of a high-tech artifact capable of overriding and controlling the minds of humans. Even when we thought he was dead, his voice still spoke as though he was alive and could hear Altaïr, so he had actually just used the Piece of Eden one last time to mask his regeneration. He has a beard and an olive complexion! How much more evidence do we need!?
* You know, I've never played ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI'' before but I just want to point out that Al-Mualim actually translates to the ''teacher''. Might still mean what you mean though.

Somewhat confirmed

** Why not?

** You mean she ''isn't'' Mina?

* He regenerates into different bodies, he doesn't do it instantly because he's a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Vampire Time Lord]]. As for The Castle, it's insides change with every incarnation of its master and it is frequently shown to be bigger on the inside.

** I was just about to propose that ''Soma'' is Near, because of the white hair and coat.

Finally, both series make extensive use of the TimeyWimeyBall.
* There's a lot more evidence! In 1999, they use huge Citadel-like domes. The reason Lavos was sent in the first place was to destroy the Time Lords. Eventually, the Gallifreyans became ethnocentric and sent the Demihumans and mystics into the future, far forward in time away from Gallifrey, where they would develop into tons of various monsters. It also explains the Nu Master in the DS version; he's a Time Lord, and guess which one. And Lucca invented the [=DeMat=] gun. Zeal could have held Omega and Rassilion, and Time Lord lore submerged temporarily until the future, when it came to light again. And Gaspar is the Doctor, given his usage of Victorian architecture, which was not present on Gallifrey, only Earth. He also dresses similarly and is known as the Guru of Time, another alias. Gaspar is probably the Doctor's first regeneration; maybe after he gets back, this inspires him to steal the TARDIS.

** "Sid" is Peter Cushing and therefore non-canon.
* [=TARDISes=] aren't built, they're grown. The airships are most likely just what they appear to be. Although, Cid's frequently-demonstrated technological aptitude serves as further evidence for this theory.
** Time Lords need hobbies too you know.
* You forget that correctly functioning [=TARDISes=] have Chameleon Circuits that are likely powerful enough to mimic an airship or several.
** Because mimicking giant, often one-of-a-kind flying contraptions is a surefire way to blend in.
** It is when you know how to build real ones, and do just to disguise the non-real ones. In the cases where there are NOT other airships, they're usually disguised by making them to appear to be part of a LostTechnology cache, indicating that Cid is going to great lengths to keep his TARDIS in airship form without arousing suspicion. Probably a preference. Maybe insanity; we're accusing Cid(s) of being a Time Lord, not of being sane.
*** Or maybe it's just stuck in Airship Form like the Doctor's TARDIS is stuck in Police Box Form.
**** No, that doesn't quite work because the airships change in appearance throughout the games, the most radical example being the one in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''.
***** Ah, but even without a fully functioning Chameleon Circuits, The Doctor's TARDIS can change its appearance, just not to a great extent.
* Also, Cid didn't appear in the first game. FYI.
** True, but he's retconned in in the remakes--the first person you talk to in Lufenia tells you that the airship was "made by a man named Cid."
*** Um, did you ''read'' the second comment?

Why not? ... Okay, Aerith remembered the regeneration gambit she pulled on Earth, A.D. 33, and did the exact same thing here. When she regenerated, she stayed in the core of the planet using the lifestream-controlling machines to cast Holy and keep Cloud and Tifa from messing up her plans. Oh, yeah, and Zack is Jack Harkness, with his hair starting to look a bit Face-of-Boe-shaped.

This one's all but confirmed. Let's think: He regenerates, he can travel in time, he is the master of the XanatosRoulette , and he has a scythe. I'm not sure what that last part has to do with him being a time lord, but he has a scythe! A SCYTHE!
* Don't forget the clock tower, quite clearly it is his TARDIS.

* Assuming ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' and ''Left4Dead'' take place in the same universes.
** ''Left4Dead'' is set a couple months in the future, whereas [=TF2=] is set in the 1960's. People who preordered ''Left 4 Dead 2'' get Bill's hat from ''Left 4 Dead 1'' in [=TF2=]. The only true explanation is time travel.

[[WMG: WMG/MassEffect]]

If Shepard ever does 'awaken' to his true origin, he might just take on the title 'Commander', just as other Time Lords have taken to call themselves 'The Doctor', or 'The Master', or 'The Rani', etc., It is also unknown if the individual known as Shepard has a TARDIS in the usual sense, but it might be that Shepard has never had one: So, the Normandy might eventually become his own personal TARDIS in the future. Given the alternate universe implication, there are several obvious analogues between Series/DoctorWho aliens and technologies with the ones found in MassEffect, but that is for another WMG entry...

** [[spoiler: At the end of ''MassEffect3'', Shepard is remembered far into the future as "The Shepard", so that title ''is'' somewhat canon!]]

His TARDIS is usually disguised as a dagger or a pendant. Of course, the Vizier is also a Time Lord; possibly The Master.

!!The character you play is a TimeLord whose Tardis is broken down.
This one is cut-and-dry. The geometry inside is all higgledy piggledy. You must get through the security puzzles your Tardis uses to protect itself has to get [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E10JourneyToTheCentreOfTheTardis to the center of the Tardis]] and [[spoiler: remove the mysterious black blocky alien life form inhibiting the engine]].

The Master Sword is his TARDIS. This is how he stores his HyperspaceArsenal. Note that he doesn't need to carry too much in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]] before getting the sword. Additionally, the Links in each game are not reincarnations. They are ''regenerations''.

* Possible name? The Gunslinger. And yes, his other regenerations ''could'' potentially include ''[[TheDarkTower that]]'' Gunslinger among them....

* The Milkman was a rebel Time Lord who is hiding on earth from the Gallifreyan government and used his fob watch to become human and take the identity of Thorny Towers night watchman Boyd Cooper. His paranoid conspiracy theories about the Milkman and shadowy government agents are actually garbled memories of his experiances as the Milkman (much like the Doctor's ''Journal of Impossible Things'') and his attempts to evade the agents of the Inner Council. When Raz entered his head, he triggered the fobbed watch from the wrong end (that is, from inside Boyd's head instead of from the watch itself), causing Boyd to turn back into the Milkman, but also driving him insane.
