Immortality Inducer: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

** Buggy is immune to slashes. Even Mihawk, the 'greatest swordsman in the world', couldn't kill Buggy with his sword.

** Brook's power is the closest to immortality of any of the fruits. After dying, his ghost was able to reanimate his skeleton body. With a lack of organs, most attacks cannot kill Brook, though he can still suffer pain and be defeated in battle. Brook can also turn into a ghost by escaping his body.

* The Grand Panacea from ''[[Baccano]]'' has this effect; anyone who drinks it ceases aging and [[Good Thing You Can Heal|almost immediately]] recovers from any injury (seriously, if they're burned the ash turns right back into flesh). The only way to "kill" an immortal is for another to [[Identity Absorption|absorb]] them (which gives them their memories in the process). There's also lesser versions of it that grant invulnerability and the weakness to being absorbed but not immunity to aging.

* In ''[[Zombie Powder]]'', various "powder hunters" search for the Rings of the Dead, which when brought together produce a substance called Zombie Powder that can be used to either raise the dead or grant immortality to the living.

* Rin and Mimi in ''[[Mnemosyne]]'' became immortal when "time spores" entered their bodies. They can sustain severe injuries and regenerate themselves fully, as is shown with the often [[Gorn|gruesome stuff]] that is inflicted on Rin. There is one character in the show who actually eats time spores, preferably old ones, so Rin and Mimi still have to watch their step.

Line 96:

* The CCG ''Illuminati'' had the card [http://media.adamdodson.org/index.php/Illuminati-Card-Game/immortality-serum Immortality Serum], which not only made the affected character indestructible, it could be played on an opponent's characters to make them defect!

* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' has [http://mtg.wikia.com/wiki/Fountain_of_Youth The Fountain of Youth], which gives players a cheap method of increasing their life points. Only the pigeons ever discovered its secrets, since no one in their right mind would drink from a dirty public fountain (especially if pigeons bathe in it).

* ''[[Call of Cthulhu]]'' campaign ''The Fungi From Yuggoth''. The [[Villain]] Lang Fu has worn his Coat of Life for centuries, as it grants him long life. If it is ever removed from him for more than a few minutes, he will suffer from [[Rapid Aging]] and die.

* In ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'', the life of the [[God-Emperor|God-Emperor of Man]] is preserved by technology in his throne. Probably influenced by the ''Runestaff'' books; certainly much better known nowadays.
