If you could live forever and had the choice would you want to?

[Petalpusher]

Well at least you'd intend to use your power for good rather than evil . But you'd make yourself such a target for the 'bad guys'. They could throw you down a 30ft hole, fill it in so no one can find you, and you could be trapped there forever, no relief by death

Why imagining this? You would see the "bad guys" dying of old age and someone would free you at some point. Immortality probably means acquiring patience too.

[Desaix DeBurgh]

Yes, I would continually enhance myself with nanotechnology etc... to have enhanced cognition, consciousness and perceptions and thanks to advancements in neurology and computing I would eventually upload my mind to a computer (for a backup copy) and then start uploading it to anthropomorphic robots and from there I would attempt to colonize the universe and perhaps also conquer the world and the entire universe, as well, with my minion robot henchmen muahahaha ! :

Though if you were immortal, but had no other powers, if you did something the world didn't like and you were eventually captured, they could lock you away forever, eternally, with not even the possibility of death to end it. Immortality would only be possibly a good thing if life was good.

But I don't think I'd like it anyway, if I was the only immortal. Your loved ones, family and friends, would all get old and eventually die around you. Even as you make new friends and family, you'd know, in what to you would only seem a short time, they'd be gone too. Too much loss, over and over again. It's bad enough with pets!

You have to consider all the possibilities before making a decision on immortality . If the bad guys die no one would know where you were. Perhaps at some point, thousands of years later you may be rescued, but it would be better to be dead than live trapped, unmoving, isolated for so long. You'd acquire no wisdom as you'd experience nothing, and on re-entering the world you'd know nothing, no one, and would be culturally isolated. Who knows, they might consider you potentially dangerous and chuck you down a hole again. Ok, so this would be a bad case scenario

I haven't seen it, perhaps I should

[Loki]

Of course! That would give me enough time to correct past mistakes. One's greatest adversary in life is exactly that: time. You can't escape it. You're gonna die.

[Prism]

I would troll Apricians for generations to come

If anything goes wrong, you only have to prove your immortality, that you have travelled through centuries. You would be a living proven god, some could certainly fancy the idea of removing you from the face of the Earth, but a lot more would worship you. Even living a hundred years trapped into hole, it's nothing compared to what's ahead of you. Im pretty sure no one would dare throwing a Catkin into a hole anyway...

[Manifest Destiny]

If I never aged, was immune to disease and was basically indestructible when it came to injuries, sure. Mostly because I'm interested in seeing what the world will be like in the distant future.

[Manifest Destiny]

Uhm, not sure. Would I just life forever or were I invincible? That's something different. Because if I could be killed by accidents, murder or illnesses, I wouldn't pick it.

But if I were invincible, I'd assume direct control over the world!

What if another immortal Apricity member was a real life John Shepard?

[Gooding]

I would accept without a blink. So much to discover in the universe, it means you could live all future history of mankind, and maybe even its past. I would have enough time to get wiser too (a billion of years could do it maybe)

This. Absolutely! I'd want to live a few centuries in different parts of this planet before going offworld to encounter new beings..
