Immortality/Sandbox: Difference between revisions

Line 37:
* Due to overcoming Mysteron influence, the titular [[Captain Scarlet]] is effectively "indestructible" and can recover from even fatal wounds within a day or so (while being quite "dead", and thus out-of-action, in the interim). The only thing that could possibly destroy him outright is complete disintegration. Scarlet often puts this new talent to use, tackling situations that would be too dangerous for most other field agents in his organisation. As a result he tends to die repeatedly throughout the series, knowing it's likely he'll recover.
** It is eventually revealed that Mysteron constructs (and so, presumably, Captain Scarlet) can be killed by extreme electrocution (and no other known method seems to work). This appears to be something of a relief to our hero, as it means he can definitely end when things (as is inevitable) become too much for him.

Doesn't seem to fit [[The Ageless]]:
* In the novels of Deverry, the wizard Nevyn is unable to die until he fulfills a rash promise he made in his youth. He continued to age normally until he got into his nineties. After that, his body remained that of a somewhat vigorous ninety-year-old. But by the time he died at four hundred and seventy five, he was having some memory trouble—his mind couldn't handle all the information that was in there.
