Immortality/Sandbox: Difference between revisions

 

* In the [[PPC]], canon characters cannot be genuinely killed by fanfic. They can be made to think they're dead, but only their original author has the power of life and death over them. (Luckily this doesn't apply to fan-created characters, or the PPC's job would be much harder.) This has led to such unpleasantnesses as [[The Simpsons (animation)|Snowball II]] surviving being crushed by a car, [[Lord of the Rings|Thranduil]] surviving being boiled alive, disembowelled and beheaded, and [[Redwall|Redtooth]] surviving having a spear forced an impressive distance into his lower intestinal tract.

* Xellos from the anime/manga/novel "[[Slayers]]" only exists truly on the astral plain. His body can be repaired with a thought. Subverted somewhat by the fact that a sufficiently powerful magic spell or weapon can hurt his astral form which tends to transfer to his physical form. There is, in fact, an entire class of spells made specifically to hurt and kill astral beings.

* [[Ghostbusters|The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man]] is actually listed as a Class 7 Projected Avatar of Gozer in Tobin's Spirit Guide in the video game. Whenever it enters a new plane of existence, Gozer is given a new form and [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock|Mode Locked]] into it, but it cannot be totally destroyed, only removed from the plane.
