No I don't have super strength but I can fight.J Tyran said:
I also have 12 years military experience in the British Para's so no, 2 coppers won't be taking me anywhere.
Also, people seem to be under the assumption that i'm just going to jump up and shout "THE WORLD, GIVE IT TO ME".
No, just no.
Proclaim myself an immortal god and build up a cult.
I have eternity to grow that cult into an army.
Step One: Take over Canada through democracy (only a fool doesn't vote for the immortal).
Step Two: Fund a space program.
Step Three: Train to be an astronaught.
Step Four: Travel space.
Step Five: Go in to a black hole.

So in the future then right? Who can tell what methods of controlling people will be around then, maybe stun rays or a gel canister that instantly binds its target. No way to tell at all, but you can bet its enough to stop a single human without superpowers (generally a Taser already is but they are limited). Unless your cult can grow to be as powerful as something like the US military is today you aint taking over anything, chances are also that as soon as something like the a cult led by an immortal god begins on the road to having that much military power the leader(s) of any collective (concept of countries might not exist then) that does have that kind of military power will smash it to its knees again. You will be forced into hiding to start over again.Rawne1980 said:
The only way it would work is if the world regresses for some reason, you would survive any natural super disaster or WMD war to take of the ragged survivors or maybe become an Alexander the Great type figure after a few centuries of recovery. So its not impossible but unless drastic things happen its unlikely.
Hide the fact. Cause I dont like the idea of being experimented on for the rest of my life. Considering that would be a pretty fucking long period of time it would be foul.
Combined with the whole watching my loved ones die, not being able to age with them... What you have described seems to be Captain Jack Harkness in a nutshell. Look how happy that man is.

they would jut lock you in a box and hide you. for centuries. you would go insane and wish you would be dead.LTlewis said:
immortality isnt going to make your strenght unlimited.
Invest to accumulate wealth. have eternity for having fun. thats the way to go. actually, the best part of it is that i could totally skip sleeping since im not going to die anyway. thats 8 extra hours a day. its not about how many hours i have, but about how many hours a day anyway.
You mean join their leader, it would be the only way they could become a plausible international threat, then those idiots in the Red Dawn remake would really have something to fear. What would I do, what brain couldn't, take over the world!Gormech said:

Back to screaming.
I don't want to be an immortal. Life's too depressing in so many ways that who in their right mindset would want to live forever? I'm currently in a state where my health is deteriorating all the time and I will die. But you know what? I don't care, I'm ready to leave immediately if the Grim Reaper comes to collect.
Why fight crime? It's not my fault that the human race is thoroughly retarded and evil. I'm sure that the society would find ways to oppress an immortal being. No way they'll like someone like that wander around and do what he/she wants. In a world like this, I see only the end and that's not even depressed angst from a middle aged man. That is the reality. Unless all races start working together to right the wrongs, we'll all perish and be obliterated sooner or later. Think about that some time when you're on a hippie rush.
To all friendly and aware people: I respect you, whoever you are and it's people like you that this world needs more. I'm ready to befriend anyone who fits that description and I won't always sound this... martyrish ;D Enjoy life and anjoy games and peace to all who support and want it. Greetings from the snow and ice covered north that is Finland! There, I ended this cheerfully as I don't want to bum everyone out

Well, surely you could still be tranquilized, or physically overpowered by a group of people?Rawne1980 said:
OT: Make it up as I go along, really. Probably find out where Shia LeBouf lives, and every birthday, break into his house and headbutt him in the face, then run off. And when he dies, I'll do it to his oldest male descendant. Forever.
Bloodline curse!
No you wouldn't. People today live like they're going to be around forever, and none of them seem very relaxed to me.Copper Zen said:
Actually, the trickiest part of immortality in modern society, I think, would be that you would have to work on a new identity all the time, unless you want to announce yourself to the world. Because you're going to leave a paper trail.
Yes you're totally right there, friend. I think that simply being Immortal would cause a lot of trouble. Let's pretend that I'm in full health and I become immortal. I don't think I'd tell anyone about it. I could try to help people out in ways that I can do but in modern society you'd become a lab rat and a prisoner if you announced your Immortality to the world. Some factions would propably want to kill you because the news that someone is immortal would be too much for the humanity to bear. It would be a curse, not a gift.Binnsyboy said:
Captcha: Cold Comfort
How right you are internet, the irony of this is so bittersweet it tastes of lemon ^_^
I'd invest for yeaaarrrs. Take my earnings and buy and island, invest in tech and weaponry and build my own fortified, self sustaning island paradise. My island inhabitants would keep the island up and functioning. Forever! Those who try to oppose my independence or take my island over will be dealt with. Then I'd explore the world from time to time and retreat to my awesome mini empire.
Then go to space a few times for the hell of it. Volunteer to go to Mars with others or something.

Live normally until I'm at the age where people might start being suspicious of my good looks at a good age, fake my death, move someplace else, continue living normally, except of course with more knowledge of stuff.
I might eventually become some kind of all-knowing mysterious traveler at some point.

Become rich and powerful in time.
Get a personal fitness regiment going.
Become even more rich and powerful in time.
Hone various skills and crafts while doing so.
Get a mansion.
Become skilled in a variety of unarmed combat forms.
Get another mansion elsewhere.
Become skilled in a variety of armed combat styles.
Probably a third mansion, because why not?
You know, the things aristocratic vampires do because they also live forever?
I'd basically become a vampire, without the whole "having to feast on human blood" bit.

Stop giving a fuck. Possibly punch Jack in the face, that smarmy little ****... Yeah... Stupid Jack saying he hopes I get diabetes... I hate Jack... Jack...
And, I don't know, I'd become a superhero and just try and do cool things, maybe lose wait, learn parkour, punch a shark... Hmmm.

I don't announce it at first, I go on to recruit many around the world whose morals I deem just (no politics, just morals). Then, when I have enough, I begin to create a new world, where people no longer kill each other just for simple things like land, resources, or opinion, and where all men and women live as equals. We will then unify our strength and turn to the stars to discover what's left to be discovered and travel to find other species. TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE (sorry had to put that in there XD)
