Immortality

==Description==
Immortality refers to the ability to defy death or attain eternal life - most characters that possess immortality can not age and remain eternally young: immortality can come in two main forms (semi-immortal and true-immortal). An Immortal character is not automatically Invulnerable and may still feel pain, neither are they untiring (unless stated otherwise).
==Levels==
===Level 1 (Semi Immortal)===
A Semi-Immortal character is immune to ageing or disease, they may also be capable of surviving without food or water - some Semi-Immortals don't need to breathe but all Semi-Immortals can die if they become engaged in violent conflict.
An example of a Semi-Immortal character would be the ancient Norse gods who were immune to ageing, disease and most mortal injury but could die in combat with other supernatural beings (such as the giants).
===Level 2 (True Immortal)===
A True Immortal is unable to die under any circumstances - they can be bombarded with unimaginable punishment and survive (though they may still feel pain), a True Immortal will never age nor grow sick and very likely will continue to exist until the end of his or her universe (some extreme examples survive the death of their own universes).
==Explanation==
Immortality is naturally occuring in many species, especially those of a supernatural or other-dimensional origin - many societies that have advanced technology or magic also have access to immortality: science can explain semi-immortality much easier than true immortality since slowing down the ageing process and preventing disease is more within the reaches of current scientific understanding than being able to survive anything at all.
