Is this Immortality Type 2?

[Valiant_Abyss]

If a character forcibly has their soul removed from their body and then has their body destroyed (decapitated or eaten), but can still act and move around normally as a soul, would that qualify for Immortality Type 2?

Pulled straight from the immortality page, here's immortality type 2's definition to save you the time:

Resilient Immortality: Characters with this degree of immortality can indefinitely survive injuries that would otherwise be lethal to a normal person, without needing to heal. This type of immortality can have different levels of effectiveness and can be bypassed, for example, by causing extremely severe wounds or the complete destruction of the body or specific parts of it, such as the head, etc.

So would surviving as a soul count as immortality, and if not what would it be?

If the soul acts like an actual soul and doesn't die from getting stabbed and becomes a double ghost or something yeah, but i'mpretty sure they get type 7 instead, which is basically type 2.

it would be type 7, which is better than type 2

Type 7 is barely even considered Immortality tbh, and it's only useable when combined with other types. But it basically means the character can be either a ghost or zombie. Though, the former could potentially be Type 9 or Type 5.

Though, "Can survive without a soul" is something used on plenty of profiles yes.

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

This isn't surviving without a soul though. This is the reverse actually. It's kinda like Low godly regen except if you never actually regened and just chilled out as a soul.

Bump

It's type 7, as the character survives as an undead being, a soul/ghost in this case.

Type 2 is mostly about the physical body, once it doesn't exist anymore, the torch is passed to type 7.

Type 2 for souls and ghosts refers to those rare cases where the soul has some kind of physicality or shape, which is somewhat needed to it.

Like, imagine a human-shaped ghost which can be killed by decapitation or such from someone with non-physical interaction. In that case the shape or "ghostly body" of the soul is fundamental to its existence. If the character can resist that, then it's type 7 mixed to type 2.

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

Bump. I'd appreciate just a little more input.

Immortality Type 2 is when the body can function even though it should definetly be dead by normal standards due to injuries. Such as fighting while decapitated or having the heart completly destroyed.

If this is how we consider being able to exist outside of a body as a soul then I can see this being type 7
