Hire me for cash. I'm the happiest mercenary out there! ^^
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦xxxXXXxxx://23rd break://xxxXXXxxx¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
That, and the fact that if you died, your little sister is gonna blow the whole world to kingdom come.
I love hindering someone, but making friends close is the only goal I will need to survive.

As stated on the first page, fairies are basically immune to every downside to immortality, so if being a youkai absolutely means eventual death and loss of existance, then it's fairy all the way for me.
As long as I have at least one person to be immortal with, I don't think there'd be a problem.

Meiling the Mighty As long as I have at least one person to be immortal with, I don't think there'd be a problem. One person? Just one? What if there's times when you want a break from that one person? That'd be awkward to ask, no?

Wotan Manasal Valo As for #5, there are suggestions that the next evolutionary leap won't occur I agree. Evolution occurs when the species need to readapt itself to its environment. We humans don't adapt to our environments; instead of that, we change the environment to adapt it to our needs. By doing so, we're practically nullifying anything that could otherwise force us to adapt to it, and thus evolve. I actually disagree. Evolution doesn't have to be restricted to physical looks. For example, what if the evolution means more brain storage? Yes we build computers now to store info for us, but shoot, if you evolved to have more brain capacity then why not accept it?

If you're going to bring evolution into it, have you considered the possibility of deevolution? For instance, there are a lot of people are around who quite simply would need to be babysat to survive if all the services and technologies that allow a person to live the easy lifestyles available now disappeared. In fact, there are a lot of people who excel at extremely mental or intellectual tasks but are terrible at extremely physical tasks. If society were forced back into the dark ages, there would be a lot of useless people who would either get sheltered by the physically adept or die out, the latter of which would mean a great mental loss for the human race. Assuming civilization as we know it now could not be brought back, humans could actually deevolve into physically adept and powerful but less intellectual creatures. In such a situation, an immortal would have the mental advantage and a physical advantage in being unkillable.
I would know, in school I was one of the really smart people who preferred exercising the brain over the strain, pain, and stress of exercising the body and performed as one of the worst students (if not THE worst) in intensively physical activities. I am STILL really unreliable at extremely physical tasks that require you to do a lot of physical labor.

Time Crisis Z what if the evolution means more brain storage? Yes we build computers now to store info for us, but shoot, if you evolved to have more brain capacity then why not accept it? If our environment doesn't force us to need greater brain capacities (that is, if the environment doesn't largely reward individuals with higher-than-average brain power), that trait won't evolve on the general species. And with computers and all, it's highly likely that won't ever happen. Asuka Hayata If you're going to bring evolution into it, have you considered the possibility of deevolution? A species can't de-evolve; it only can become more or less adapted to its environment. Asuka Hayata For instance, there are a lot of people are around who quite simply would need to be babysat to survive if all the services and technologies that allow a person to live the easy lifestyles available now disappeared. I think the human race ******** itself up when we reached the evolutionary point at which a newborn baby couldn't survive on his own.

Wotan Manasal Asuka Hayata If you're going to bring evolution into it, have you considered the possibility of deevolution? A species can't de-evolve; it only can become more or less adapted to its environment. I'd call any shift away from intellectual development a change for the worse. Even if avoiding that means making more people who always rank last in P.E. class but get straight As in every non-physical class they take. Wotan Manasal Asuka Hayata For instance, there are a lot of people are around who quite simply would need to be babysat to survive if all the services and technologies that allow a person to live the easy lifestyles available now disappeared. I think the human race ******** itself up when we reached the evolutionary point at which a newborn baby couldn't survive on his own. All my skills are technical skills. Skills involving math, science, or stationary machinery of some sort. Any other jobs and I am basically useless because I either lack the stamina to stay on the job for extended periods of time or lack the attention span to stay on the job for very long. I guess that means that if we went back to nature, I would be one of the first people killed off by natural selection because of my uselessness.

Asuka Hayata Wotan Manasal Asuka Hayata If you're going to bring evolution into it, have you considered the possibility of deevolution? A species can't de-evolve; it only can become more or less adapted to its environment. I'd call any shift away from intellectual development a change for the worse. I'm the complete opposite; I believe that is humankind's abnormal intelligence development what was a change for the worse. As a species, we're consuming way (and it's a very, very big "way") more resources than the bare minimum for survival, and our tendency to adapt the environment to our needs instead of doing the opposite is greatly halting our evolutionary process, which in turn made us way more physically defenseless than lots of our closely related species. Asuka Hayata I guess that means that if we went back to nature, I would be one of the first people killed off by natural selection because of my uselessness. Here are some good news for you: If that ever happened, the available land and resources at this moment are so huge it would be more than enough to feed everyone. Given how we all here (including you) have above than average wealth and health (most of the people on Earth can't satisfy their minimum basic needs... go figure), chances are you will be able to flee away from fellow competitors and find yourself some place to live away from human settlements.

Wotan Manasal If our environment doesn't force us to need greater brain capacities (that is, if the environment doesn't largely reward individuals with higher-than-average brain power), that trait won't evolve on the general species. And with computers and all, it's highly likely that won't ever happen. That's not how evolution works neutral Brain capacities is just an example. If the brain capacity expansion is favored in humans, then we'll have people giving birth more to that trait and then it becomes the new evolution in humans. We don't have to be "forced" by nature to favor an evolution trait. Wotan Manasal A species can't de-evolve; it only can become more or less adapted to its environment. Watch Idiocrasy. Technically it's still an "evolve", but it's for the worst lol
