10 People on Whom Immortality Was Totally Wasted

It's hard for the average person to understand why anyone wouldn't want to be immortal. Immortality has been a fruitful lens for fiction to examine the human condition. But sometimes there are immortals who completely fail to get the horror of immortality across. Instead, you can't help but think you'd do better. Here are ten of them.

Last week saw the premiere of Forever, which introduced another immortal to the prime time line-up. And like so many before him, Dr. Henry Morgan is an immortal who hates his gift, trying to find out how to live a normal, short life. Time will tell if the show becomes one the classics addressing the issues of living forever and losing loved ones or if Henry angsts so hard and so long that it's impossible to empathize with him. If the latter happens, he'll find himself in the company of this list.

Warning: Spoilers abound from here on out.

Where are the stories of people who absolutely love living forever?
Graystone: D&D/FR, Dwarf Psion (Shaper) 6
Lam: D&D/FR, Changeling Wizard (Changeling Wizard) 6
Queth: Pathfinder, Elf (Tower Elf) Bard (Archivist) 1
