+Invocation Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Because it's funny, mostly. And what else are we going to do in the next 20 or 30 years before we know for sure? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kandrafish Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Adonalsium is not a crab. If Adonalsium were a crustacean, he would obviously be a lobster because all lobsters are immortal until they die, just like Adonalsium. (Biological immortality is weird) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Biological immortality is weird) Well if we're going along the themes of biological immortality, we could also take the idea of a reformation of Adonalsium and pair it with that one jellyfish that reverts to an immature state and then begins the life cycle all over again. Yeah it may not be a crustacean, but jellyfish are cool. Edited January 30, 2022 by Invocation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kandra, Fused, Heralds, The Lord Ruler, Shards...yeah, lots of immortal things die on a regular basis, it would seem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmulatonStromenkiin Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 then, English needs better words, for they are not truly immortal, merely situationally immortal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CryoZenith Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Technically it's more than biological immortality. Biological immortality is simply the concept that there isn't something in your internal biology that hard caps your lifespan. For example, tigers are biologically mortal because they never stop growing, which eventually imposes hydrostatic limits on how much blood their hearts can pump, whereas lobsters are biologically immortal because nothing internal to them is in a finite clock. So in that sense, you could say that high-breath awakeners and Siah Aimians are biologically immortal, sure, but the term doesn't correctly describe entities like fused or heralds. The latter *actually* preserve themselves throughout deaths, they don't just resist senescence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in a sense they are, they can be forceibly reset to their cognitive state, which as Cognitive entities is part of their biology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
