You are Immortal.

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

After I'm done doing all the awesome things, which would take me about 3 years, I would fall into a big depression and start crying because of the realization that everyone I love will be gone and I will be forced to stay. Forever alone.

After that episode I'd start doing awesome things again. I'd become a masked crime fighter of course. I'm an immortal geek. What else could I possibly do?

One other thing. I would place a haystack at the bottom of Empire State building and preform a leap of faith. Then I'd tell people "see, it totally works".

 

[kommando367]

Live my life as normal until all of my loved ones are dead, at some point mastering all of my preferred weapons and combat styles, then maybe try mercenary work.

 

[Beat14]

Lose my morals probably

 

[Old Father Eternity]

Find a nice quiet place where I could retreat yet still have a good overview of the world.
I could exist outside all the busy life of mankind simply observing.
Too bad the package does not include infinite adaptability.

 

[IrishSkullpanda]

Immortal? I guess I'd just... work. Hey, if I can't starve to death or die of old age or anything, just working for 100 years or so is enough to get a small fortune started up at least. Then I just let the savings do their thing in regards to interest, and do whatever I want in my day to day life.

Just because I can't die doesn't mean I'm going to go around making shadow groups or do things that might end up with me trapped in a completely sealed box buried underground. Immortality isn't something you just go and risk "because I'm immortal and nothing bad can happen to me."

Besides, working until I earn even 5 cents more than I spend every month in interest is literally enough to set you up for millenia. 5 cents a year at 10% interest p.a will add up over a couple of millenia.

 

[Xaio30]

I would relax, knowing that my life wouldn't be ticking away anymore.
Then I would educate myself to ridiculous lengths. Probably work myself up to be a boss of a few companies.
Being immortal would stop my need for food, water and sleep.

 

[iAmNothing]

I'd work on a way of trying to recreate the immortality so that someone else could share the experience with me.

I don't want to be alone for ever...

 

[Angie7F]

Start investing.

Seriously, if I'm going to be around forever I can't exactly be getting by on my current, meager salary.

This!! I would hate to have to live forever = working on a small salary forever.

 

[VeneratedWulfen93]

Ah immortality, my dream situation. I could write books forever and when large scale space exploration begins I would bind all of humanity into 1 rather than splintered nations and go conquer the galaxy.

 

[monkey_man]

If by immortal you mean `not being able to die, like Captain Jack Harkness for instance´, I´d just go fighting evil or something. perhaps take a nice swim across the pacific or something. after that, I´d probably just go for a walk and take pictures of where I´ve been. say, sahara, Russia on barefoot, China, America, London. Stick around where it´s fun, go away from where it´s not.

for the people unfamiliar with Captain Jack Harkness, he´s a character from the new Doctor Who, who´s turned invincible by mistake (the original idea was to bring him back to life, but it was a tad overdone[just a tad])

 

[ABLb0y]

Steal a boat, drive to Kansas and punch Fred Phelps in the face.

 

[KiloFox]

i would buy lots of guns, swords and other weaponry, and then take employ as a mercenary. once i've amassed a fortune, i'd likely start taking over countries in order to stop a bunch of bullshit and lead the human race down a better path. like not screwing up the planet. during all this time i'd be doing tests on myself to see if i could transfer said immortality to others, such as my friends, and how to ultimately reverse it so that, when the right time comes, i can actually die.

 

[dvd_72]

The mercenary life obviously! I'd become a modern day Zodd the immortal.

 

[Not Matt]

I would sing up for the first time machine ever built (who better to send back than the guy who can wait the years out)

Then I would have walked the earth. Solving problems for people.
And also take over the world..... Slowly (I see your arguments against that escapists but I still believe it can be done)


I also would work out (cause hey why not)

 

[J Tyran]

I'd take over the world.

I'm immortal, who the fracks going to stop me?

someone with a jail? it's not like you have any other powers

Aye but i'm hardly going to walk into jail myself.

They have to get me there and force isn't going to get them anywhere.

Two coppers and some pain induced compliance and you are in a cell, you have no super strength or death ray lasers for eyes. You just cant die, so anyway normal way of getting someone in a cell will work just fine.

No I don't have super strength but I can fight.

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.

 

[hooblabla6262]

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.

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.

 

[Mr F.]

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.

 

[Strazdas]

You have just discovered that you are Immortal. The simple kind, no having to repair any injuries, no aging just the best kind of immortality. What do you do first.
Myself, I go to the middle of London (my closest big city) and start to advertise the fact, jumping of buildings playing in traffic, all that stuff. Why? To see people react, do they call it a trick, am I heralded as the messiah or devil. How long before the government turns up. And if I am carted off so what. I just sit around for a century or two and then walk out of whatever ruin I?m in.

they would jut lock you in a box and hide you. for centuries. you would go insane and wish you would be dead.

They have to get me there and force isn't going to get them anywhere.

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.
