The Professor (Vuyturtelt’rutrixuntarides)

Vuyturtelt’rutrixuntarides, also known as Vuytur or Delta Eta Lambda and universally as "The Professor", was a renegade Time Lord Technician who used to work in a TARDIS repair shop on Gallifrey, before running away in a stolen Type 70 TARDIS.
== Biographical Data ==
=== First Incarnation ===
Vuyturtelt’rutrixuntarides was Woven from the genetic Loom of House Trixuntar on Gallifrey in the year 2,005,166.4 RE. His oldest memory is of running through the hallways of his House playing tag with his cousins. Like all childrene, he underwent the process of brainbuffing and, at the age of 8, was taken to the mountain of Solace to stare into the Untempered Schism. The gap in the fabric of reality inspired the young Gallifreyan, although it would take many years for him to find out what it actually inspired him to do.
A promising student of Arcal Academy on Gallifrey, Vuyturtelt’rutrixuntarides was intelligent, sarcastic, and rude. Although seemingly very outgoing, Vuytur didn't have many friends, and spent most of his time reading in the archives. There, he found out about the wonders of the outside world, the majesty of nature, and how this beauty could actually be found in Gallifrey itself. He would often sneak out of the complex to explore the surrounding mountains, marvelling at the beauty of the forests below. He painted a lot of Gallifrey’s landscape, and he kept these paintings hidden under his bed in his dorm room at the Academy.
The outside world was not the only thing the Professor read about in the Archives. He stumbled upon records of Renegades; Time Lords who, rather than remaining content with their boring lives on Gallifrey, pursued a life of adventure throughout space and time. This intrigued the Professor and led him to research instances of Time Lords leaving Gallifrey to pursue their own goals. He learned of such legendary renegades as Azmael, Salyavin, the Clocksmith, the Corsair and, the greatest among them, the Doctor.
After graduating from the Academy at the age of 132 with a Triple Alpha, Vuyturtelt’rutrixuntarides was given the job of Time Lord technician in a TARDIS repair shop. As a TARDIS technician, the Professor spent a lot of time replacing console circuits, which left him free to grab any components he might want to use in his own gadgets, one of which was a sonic probe of his own design. His work at the TARDIS repair shop was good enough that he was given an apprentice to work with, who went by the name of Olivierioverivolontiriole, or “Oli” for short. Throughout their partnership, Oli would jokingly call his teacher “Professor”, a name which he liked enough to claim as his title, replacing his name. Oli and the Professor became great friends, but their partnership eventually came to an end when he was offered a position at the Celestial Intervention Agency.
Despite the love he had for working with TARDISes, the Professor eventually grew bored. The never-ending paperwork and the endless beauty of the universe he was missing out on got to him, and so he devised a plan to steal a TARDIS and run away. The next time he received a timeship for repair, the Professor untruthfully reported to his superior that it was beyond repair and had been scrapped. He hid the TARDIS, (a Type 70), in his personal workshop and worked on it whenever he had the time. His bond with the TARDIS grew more and more as he worked on her, and he swore he would name her when the time was right. Finally, after a few months of agonisingly slow progress, the Professor left Gallifrey for the first time in his life.
== Personality ==
[ CLEVER and POMPOUS ] The Professor, having grown up being constantly reminded of his own people's superiority, often looks down on other species’ technology. He'll often make comments on the “primitive” technologies of “lesser species”.
[ SARCASTIC and RUDE ] What do you want me to say here? He's rude and sarcastic. Well done, you understand basic English vocabulary. Have a cookie 🍪
[ INEXPERIENCED and NAIVE ] The Professor left Gallifrey to see the wonders space and time had to offer. Space and time, however, often have other plans. There is much cruelty in the universe; cruelty for which the Professor is not prepared.
[ FRIENDLY ] The Professor is always eager to meet new people, even though his sarcastic attitude can push people away.

=== Skills / Strengths ===
[ TIME LORD KNOWLEDGE ] The Professor is quite knowledgeable in most fields of science, having graduated from the Arcalian Academy with a Triple Alpha and excelling in the field of Temporal Engineering. He is also a quick learner, being able to absorb and apply new information easily and efficiently.
[ TECH WIZ ] Thanks to his experience as a TARDIS repairman, he is a skilled tinkerer and is able to identify most alien technology at a glance, giving him a huge advantage when dealing with machines.
[ ARTIST ] The Professor has a talent for the visual arts, and has had ample practice with painting Gallifreyan landscapes and sketching various creatures from the grounds around the Academy.
=== Weaknesses ===
[ LACK of EXPERIENCE ] The Professor hasn't seen much of the cosmos yet and as such is often out of his depth. Every one of his adventures is likely to surprise him, and it is questionable whether he'll come out of them unscathed.
[ PROBLEMS DEALING with STRESS ] This lack of experience, coupled with the quiet uneventful life he had on Gallifrey, means he can be overwhelmed by stressful situations. He usually responds to these by complaining loudly and throwing insults around, though this can make some situations even worse. Although he has never been pushed to his limit, this might result in him experiencing a meltdown.
[ OBLIVIOUS in his FASCINATION ] The Professor harbours an almost childlike wonder for the alien creatures he encounters. His fascination, however, can cause him to fail to see the harm they might cause to him and the people around him.
[ LEFT SHOULDER ] Gallifreyans can be easily disabled with a blow to the left shoulder, which possesses a vulnerable nerve cluster.
[ AGEING ] When exposed to physical stress, Gallifreyans will age considerably.
