An Immortal is someone who is or was made unable to naturally die. Almost all forms of damage that would kill an ordinary being will either make the immortal feel pain or do nothing.
Causes of Immortality[]
- Godhood: All gods, demigods, cosmic avatars and similar beings are immortal from their birth/creation/emergence.
- Magic: Certain artifacts, such as Bathsheba's Oil of Healing, can turn a creature immortal, if it's not naturally that way;
- Death: When a creature reaches the afterlife, it is no longer alive in the usual sense.
