Background
Amortality is a condition or ability that allows a being to exist indefinitely outside the normal cycle of life and death. Unlike true immortality, which generally implies a living being who cannot die from age or harm, Amortality means the user does not age or die because they were never born in a natural way or not born at all.
Some beings with Amortality are physically alive but unaging and immune to natural death. Others exist in a state of “unbirth,” never having truly lived in the conventional sense, so they cannot die through normal biological or spiritual means. Such beings may be resistant to life-force attacks, soul destruction, or death manipulation because they were never “born” in the ordinary way.
Also Called
- Eternal Unbirth
- Deathless Existence
- Timeless Mortality
- Unborn Immortality
Possible Applications
- Remain ageless and unaffected by natural death or biological decay.
- Resist abilities that manipulate life force, aging, or death directly.
- Exist as an idea or concept, making physical destruction difficult.
- Bypass normal biological needs such as hunger or sleep.
- Act as a being beyond traditional existence, untethered to linear time.
Practical Uses
- Effective for surviving in hostile or reality-warped environments.
- Difficult to permanently destroy without high-level conceptual or existence manipulation.
- May linger indefinitely, acting as a constant influence or threat.
- Can maintain knowledge and identity without fear of decay or death.
- Useful for beings tied to cosmic or abstract domains.
Possible Limitations
- May still be vulnerable to attacks in general depending on the interpretation of Amortality in the fiction.
- May be bound by specific conditions or weaknesses unique to their nature.
- Some forms may cause isolation or detachment from beings that exist normally.
- Unborn beings may be unable to interact physically with the world without additional abilities.
