Immortality

Immortality was the ability to live forever, or at least a vastly long time. Most beings called immortal were not also indestructible, but there were exceptions.

Time Lords were described by the Second Doctor as being immortal, "barring accidents", (TV: The War Games) a phrasing the Twelfth Doctor would later use to describe Lady Me. (TV: The Girl Who Died) K9 Mark I likewise described the Time Lords as "immortal". (PROSE: K9 and the Zeta Rescue) In case of such accidents, regeneration would allow the Time Lord to live on in a new incarnation, but they could only regenerate for a set number of times, after which point they would permanently die. (TV: The Deadly Assassin)

The Twelfth Doctor later gave Ashildr another chip to give to someone she would want to keep with her. (TV: The Girl Who Died) Her immortality remained for billions of years, up to the last 5 minutes of the universe, outliving every other immortal.

(TV: The Woman Who Lived)

Clara Oswald gained a measure of immortality when she was extracted from her death at the hands of the Quantum Shade by the Time Lords. Her physical processes time looped, she lost all life signs (such as heartbeat, breathing and even ageing), but was functionally speaking immortal. However, as her death was a historically established event, she could not delay it indefinitely without the risk of incurring paradoxes on a scale which could damage the universe; her immortality ceased when she finally returned to Gallifrey and was sent back to her pre-destined death on the trap street in London, after spending an undetermined amount of time travelling with Ashildr.
