Immortality/Sandbox: Difference between revisions

* The [[Bob and George]] webcomic has the two characters mention several times that they can't die because they're [[No Fourth Wall|title characters]].

* Any villain of a [[Villain Based Franchise]] (especially a [[Slasher Film]] franchise) will not stay dead no matter how many times he's killed at the end of the previous movie.

* Rincewind in ''[[Discworld]]'', maybe.

** No, as in "The Colour of Magic" it is openly written that the gods of Discworld, who played their strategic board game (where the board was Discworld itself and their figures were the well known Heroes of Discworld) were controlling these heroes, and basically everything, to such an extent that even Rincewind himself realised by the end of the book that someone or something 'must be keeping them alive'; well played, since the happenings were just the descriptions of the gods Lady and Fate battling the longest in the game. When Rincewind and company literally flies out of the disc of the Discworld it is an established fact that Lady, who was a notorious cheater, succeeded in not letting Fate win over her in the game.

** [[Word of God]] is that Granny Weatherwax, despite being an old woman when we first met her thirty-something books ago, is "probably immortal".

* It can be argued that Norna-Gest from the Old Norse ''[[The Tale of Norna Gest|Tale of Norna Gest]]'' possesses this kind of immortality. The prophecy that says he won't die before a certain candle that he always carries with him is used up seems to contain the guarantee that he cannot be killed by violence or accidents.
