Immortality/Sandbox: Difference between revisions

* Another [[Real Life]] example: some American Aspen (''Populus tremuloides'') tree stands (groves) are type II immortal. Aspen forms stands of genetically identical trunks with interconnected roots; some trunks die of old age but the stand itself is type II immortal.

** Olive is the same.

* {{spoiler|The [[Split At Birth]] halves of the Yorae Dragon}} from ''[[Breath of Fire]] IV'' would likely be a Type I had the god in question NOT been split in half via a botched summoning. (In fact, it's {{spoiler|pretty explicitly proven this is the case in the [[Bad End]] when Infini destroys your party.}}) Instead, Fou-lu and Ryu end up as (functionally) Type III {{spoiler|until in the Good End Ryu separates the worlds of gods and mortals and thus they become mortal, or in the Bad End the two merge as the Infini Dragon and thus become Type I}}.

** Fou-lu in particular is arguably a Type III/Type XI in that he is a literal [[God-Emperor]] whom ultimately exhausted himself, went into torpor for 600 years as the Fou Empire's [[King in the Mountain]], and (upon awakening and discovering that [[The Empire]] he'd founded considered his "resurrection" to be an [[Unwanted Revival]]) survived multiple assassination attempts by the sitting emperor (including, at one point, being at ground zero of a [[Fantastic Nuke]] powered [[Sacrificial Lamb|by his own girlfriend]] as the "warhead"). These attacks usually result in serious injury to Fou-lu that he ultimately recovers from.
