You are Immortal.

[mrhappy1489]

Join the army.
Go into a battle.
Drop my assault rifle and slowly walk towards enemy lines with nothing but a sidearm and a knife.
After that, mercenary time once my term runs up.

That, or go to North Korea and challenge their leader.

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!

 

[Brainwreck]

Get stuck.
Scream for eternity.

You could just eat some oranges and it would be k :3

OT: I would watch civilizations rise and fall, all the while trying to not go insane after hundreds and thousands of years.

A hole in the earth is environmental CC, so unfortunately no amount of citrus fruit consumed would fix the issue.
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

 

[The Funslinger]

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.

Well, surely you could still be tranquilized, or physically overpowered by a group of people?

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!

 

[Blood Brain Barrier]

I'm Immortal? Why thank you very much! ^_^

What would I do first? Frankly I'd relax. Seriously. I'd realize that all the problems I'm dealing with now are passing concerns and I'd truly take the long view.

I'd relax.

No you wouldn't. People today live like they're going to be around forever, and none of them seem very relaxed to me.

 

[The Funslinger]

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.

Captcha: Cold Comfort How right you are internet, the irony of this is so bittersweet it tastes of lemon ^_^

 

[BodomBeachChild]

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.

 

[VeryOddGamer]

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.

 

[Smolderin]

Are there other people that are immortal? Because if there are...you know...there can be only one.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

I go to the beach and I lie down and I finally relax.

 

[C F]

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.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

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.

 

[BleedingPride]

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)

 

[someonehairy-ish]

I'd just keep learning new skills, new things. Be able to play every instrument, paint like a master, write, draw, sing, be an expert in every scientific field. Become the ultimate renaissance man; the very pinnacle in everything.

And then once I'd mastered everything, I don't know. Perhaps I'd go on a voyage to the stars. Explore the galaxy. The huge time-spans wouldn't matter to me. Eventually, I'd come back to Earth, and see how it had changed while I'd been away.

 

[JLML]

-Get a gun.

-Shoot myself in the head.

-In front of audiences.

-???????

-Get rich.

Also, science. Lots of science. If I'm immortal I'll be sure to make sure science advances as fast as possible. After all, if nothing new happened then everything would get so boring. D:

 

[jurnag12]

I'll be honest, first thing would be climbing on top of a skyscraper, blasting 'Princes of the Universe' from the top with a big-ass PA, then jumping down, splattering the sidewalk, then calmly getting up and walking away without saying another word.

"I AM IMMORTAL, I HAVE INSIDE ME BLOOD OF KINGS!"

From then on it'd be investing and other long-term plans of making money combined with, I dunno, getting a medical or biological degree so I can study my power and perhaps reproduce it in a synthesized form.

Of course it would not be to the extent of my immortality. I'm not dooming people to that, plus it'd create way too many problems to be worth the trouble.

Then once I engineer 'Eternal-life-in-a-can', I'll make sure it works for a limited amount of time, then make it available for an actually affordable price, both creating a monopoly on the product, which ensures sales, and avoiding the otherwise inevitable uprising of everyone who DOESN'T have millions of dollars for every dose, instead going for something more similar to a "10 bucks a month" plan.

If I get everyone in the first world on that, that's still billions every month.

Then once I have the capital for it, I'll buy out some major corporations, but capable folk in charge of them, and retire to my custom-tailored mansion to start working on spaceflight and terraforming the less habitable regions of the world, all research and staff funded by the above mentioned massive sources of income (Hell, I'll deny my own salary bonuses for the corporation positions. Free PR!).

Also, booze & blow. And other assorted hedonism that is within the realms of legality. Because just because I'm immortal doesn't mean I have to turn into a perverted creep, now does it?

My Science brings all the boys and girls to my yard.......

 

[Gormech]

On second thought, just getting to go out and explore the world would be fun. Don't have to worry about getting shot and thrown in a ditch by some locals just because of how I look. Also, you can avoid a lot of issues with meds as far as pain and stuff goes in emergencies.

 

[Darren Carrigan]

this was meant to quote the TFS hellsing guy but it wont work....

but pretty much what he said

 

[chikusho]

Try to figure out how I could reverse the process. I probably wouldn't reverse it immediately, but I'd want to know how to do it both to understand my own limitations and because, let's be honest, being stuck living alone after the heat death of the universe would be a fate far worse than oblivion. And given that I have no idea how hard reversing immortality would be, I'd want to get on it ASAP so I'm less likely to run out of time. ("Sorry, but the remedy requires a plant that has been extinct for the last 10,000 years!")

This. Being unable to die from injury will ultimately lead to you being stuck in a crumbled building or something after a huge catastrophe. Not to mention outliving friends and family which should get old pretty quick.
