Haven’t made a thread in a while so I thought I’d make this.
I had a discussion that got me wondering about the immortality type 1 justification. Particularly, the discussion was regarding whether or not Immortality type 1 could grant resistance to disease manipulation.
According to our current Immortality Type 1 justification:
I believe the purpose of this is NOT to say that a character can resist “conventional illnesses,”but rather, it’s trying to say something else.
As we all know, when living things grow older, their organs decrease in quality, their immune function decreases, etc. This, normally, would make older characters more susceptible to disease and illness. However, with characters that have immortality type 1, their organs would NOT go through that natural degradation process and remain at normal levels no matter how much they age.
This does NOT mean that they resist conventional illness,” but rather, that their ability to resist illness doesn’t get affected by age. Our justification does a terrible job at conveying that, and could easily make someone interpret it as “immortality type 1 = resistance to disease manip.” I propose a minor re-write, we replace the aforementioned clause with:
