I was wondering if another Immortal would be welcome in everyone's game.
I'm new around here and a friend of mine told me about you'all so I asked
him to hook me up .
Now I'm here.

Well, I don't know. There aren't any immortals in my game. The closest thing
to an immortal that I have is a magic-spike elf. But, he can die. (God only
knows how many people have tried to kill him. "I AM THE GM!!! I AM GOD!!!")

And to the regulars here...How many of the characters floating around here are
immortal?
Brad

There are a few. Me, I don't mind -- I never intend on getting my head
lopped off for some stupid 'prize'..... ;)

Just get myself shot full of lead to save a pretty lady's head. ;)

Immortals? What fun would it be to play a god?

Immortals? Do we allow Immortals?

That would depend on the nature of the immortality. Please explain in more
detail.

Please - no Highlander immortals. They already pollute the Vampire
roleplaying environment...I think it would be bad for this list.
It's one of those 'far-out' things that's just too much for
Shadowrun. A non-Highlander immortal could work...Harlequin,
Ehrain...

I don't think Harlequin and Ehran are immortals, I think they are
"spike-babies", I'll have to look it up, of course, but I'm pretty sure that's
mentioned in the Tir Tairngire sourcebook.

Well...maybe Harlequin and Ehrain aren't immortal...but what about
that '5,000 years is a long time to wait for revenge' line? They
hinted pretty strongly in Tir Tairngire and in Never Trust an Elf
that elves are immortal...

As far as I know... there are only a few dragons and vampires on the list
that would qualify as immortals. I don't know what AIs count as.

Not of which I am aware; although, that perception is based on the degree
of (understandable) discomfiture and quibbling regarding Vampires and Elves
whose genesis resulted from a temporally-localized elevation in Mana
levels, i.e. spike babies.

Hmmm, guess nobody followed my Orion Antilles/Arrowsmyth saga, which dealt
primarily with a number of Highlander-style immortals. The only one still
alive at this point is Orion Antilles, and he is currently in the Orient
trying to "sort things out" after his mortal fiancee was killed by an evil
immortal, who then killed Orion's protogee Quade. I still have the final
battle sequence saved somewhere if anyone wants a copy. Alot of my High-
lander friends enjoyed it.
Orion will be returning this fall when an immortal starts hunting him down,
terrorizing several of his mortal friends in the process.
