Immortality, with a price...

Heck, you wouldn't develop into a sentient being if you were immortally a newborn! You'd just be a tiny little scientific curiosity, subject to millennia of tests as scientists try and replicate you marvellous, yet tragic, lack of ageing.Autofaux said:
Also if we are saying you never get sick, never die etc does that mean you'd never break a bone?
Because if that's the case I could have days of fun throwing myself off of the Eiffel tower for bets, which would then get me all the money i needed to do anything else on my wish list.
Disclaimer: Don't try that at home kids, I'm an immortal

He is an immortal ambitious escapist poster. She's a tortured gold-digging single mother with a song in her heart and a spring in her step. They fight crime!Shockolate said:

My immortality would depend on a self annihilating race, I would do what was possible to keep the human race going. Immortality isn't something I would ever give up, the end of the universe will have to come to take it away if I had it.
On the perception of time being altered, it all depends on certain factors. A child waiting 10 minutes for something they want will make them anxious and to them time will seem to move slowly even though time is a constant dependent on perspective. Now the same child if they do something and occupy themselves time will seem to "fly" by faster than it is. Mood, age, perspective, they all change how time is perceived.

You could just wait for the newborns/children to grow older once you've dealt with the adult population, and no-one is completely innocent.
Immortality; all the way. I would decide to become obsessed with knowledge and knowing EVERYTHING there is to know. It would be hundreds of thousands of years before I had to worry about knowing everything. Oh and building an empire to basically own the world would be fun. Even if I make mistakes I have as much time as I need to try it again and again.
Sounds like you've got the makings of a good story. He or she could start out happy with immortality and willing to wait it out. Then he or she goes into a downward spiral and contemplates becoming a murderous monster for the peace that death brings but will our hero give in?
I'd like to see an RPG made out of this.

eventually, the universe will end, and before that, the sun will explode. Although I think that in however million/billion years it takes for the sun to get to that point human will have left our solar system, and probably our galaxy, so when the universe ends, so will I. Just make sure that you're on the whatever deep space mission you can be, so that you aren't near any exploding stars or anything like that.
Also, after about a billion years, time would start to go by quite quickly. You eventually have no concept of time, because it would mean nothing. Whole civilizations could rise and fall in days to you. It would be... interesting.
