Immortality/Sandbox: Difference between revisions

Line 101:
* On ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'', the Heinous family seems to have some form of immortality, being stand ins for [[Satan]], though it's never clear which. Every member has given themselves a [[Klingon Promotion]] by [[Human Popsicle|freezing the previous one]], rather than [[Self-Made Orphan|killing them outright]], suggesting they are Type II. Adding to this is that Lucius VII seems afraid of dying in some episodes. Lucius looks to by in his early twenties despite [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|being at least four hundred years old]], yet his father looks to be an old man, even in [[Flash Back|flashbacks]]. Since the show takes place in what amounts to [[Hell]], it might be Type V.
** Interestingly, [[Word of God|Edward Kay]] has suggested this for Heloise as well.
* Vampires in ''[[Castlevania]]'', especially Dracula, have a mixture of Type III and Type X. They can drink the blood of mortals to regain strength and youth, but vampires also seems to have the common trait of being able to automatically resurrect. For Dracula himself, it generally takes 100 years or so, but he also is often resurrected by outside forces loyal to him. This is basically why the Belmonts and the other good guys have to kill him over and over again... Well, until 1999, when the good guys finally had the opportunity to kill him off for good, and thanks to Julius Belmont, they succeeded. However, Dracula [[Castlevania Sorrow|still managed to reincarnate, thankfully, as a good guy, this time.]]
* Immortals from ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' are essentially type I but incorporate type IV in the sense that they choose to die whenever they think they have become too powerful in order to counteract [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]. When they do this they pretty much start life again from scratch with only their basic nature, base power and their previous life's memories rendered as mere second hand knowledge.
** Aberrations on the other hand are magic users who went the type IX or type X route intentionally through magic in order to achieve immortality.
