or rather live a mortal life, /jp/?

Immortality obviously.

Does being a vampire mean I have to take orders from Remilia?

Because that's how it works in WoD and Remi seems pretty bossy.

I would control this planet if I were immortal.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't know if it's some form of masochism but I'd love to be immortal. I've accepted death but life is pretty fun.

[Anonymous No.]

I'll take immortality without a second thought.

[Anonymous No.]

Magician brand immortality for me

I really don't like food that much and find it a chore to have to eat to avoid pain and survive. Plus I like the thought of an extended period of life where I can look young for hundreds of years without the catch that I have to hurt humans to maintain that. I also don't want to live forever, I get scared at the thought of outliving the planet and floating through space for the rest of time.

[Anonymous No.]

I'll take it.

I just want anything that makes me special and grants me power.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9804590
But eating is fun! And imagine being a vampire, you couldn't absorb it so you can eat whatever you want. I don't know what happens after that though.
And that last part is counting on humans never being able to leave Earth long-term, which we;re already close to achieving, so you don't have to worry about that. I bet in 100 years we'll already have artificial biodome space stations.

[Anonymous No.]

The thing is, Vampire immortality usually comes with caveats attached to it: i.e. you can't eat garlic, go out in the sun, touch silver things etc. Even if you got tired of life you would still have ways out, so why not enjoy being super powerful for a while.

I would honestly take the offer of immortality so I could see how future generations of Tou-Bros turn out to be. If I ever got tired of living I could just run outside while it was sunny and eat a clove of garlic with a silver fork.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9804590
I'd like a self destruct option with my immortality so I can just blow myself up when I'm the only thing left in the void of the former universe.

[Anonymous No.]

Really, there aren't a lot of downsides to immortality as long as you can avoid being buried alive or launched into space or something.

If I ever become a vampire Touhou I'll make sure to bite any of my fellow /jp/sies who want it. Tea parties in /jp/ manor every night!

I'm scared of dying. I want to live forever, even if it means floating in space. Eventually I'll find a way to enjoy myself even with nothing around me but stars.

Not that guy but eating blows ass and if it wasn't for the body's reliance on food then we wouldn't need to get jobs to sustain it. I don't have to live forever, I'd be happy with one life time of perpetual fullness and health.

If it means becoming Remilia-sama's cockslave. Then I would choose vampirism.

But otherwise, immortality. It will all depend if Remi would accept me.

[Anonymous No.]

There's no reason not to choose vampire. It's not like any of you are religious, care about rivers, like silver and eat garlic.

[Anonymous No.]

Immortality would be cool as long as I don't have to go through the process of dying and then regenerating everytime something fatal happens to me. Floating in space until the next big bang wouldn't be so bad then. I could daydream and stuff.

Imagine if this unverse was created due to an immortal being daydreaming through the void, triggering a chain reaction that started the big bang.

[Anonymous No.]

If underworld has taught me anything, it's that being a vampire means I get to live in a classy ass hide out and own a bunch of guns. Being able to sleep for centuries at a time must be nice too.

Pretty sure Vampirism just means you never age or change, I think you can still generally die from getting decapitated, suffocated, etc.

I thought the choices were vampirism/immortality OR mortal life, not vampirism OR immortality. Then again, anyone choosing to be a mortal would be fucking stupid.

It depends on if this universe has an 'end'. I don't want to spend eternity floating through a black void; I'd choose to die if there was nothing left to experience anymore. So, vampirism in that case. If the universe never ends and can therefore provide an endless amount of things for me to learn and do, then I'd choose immortality through the Hourai Elixir or whatever.

Doesn't the Hourai Elixir come with nifty features like, if you drown or get tossed into lava, you resurrect somewhere else?

Holy shit. We must preserve her cells somehow.

If somebody finds a way to apply that to some future gene therapy it may mean that you might be able to grow up normally and then halt your aging forever.

That and Accel World type tech means that you'll be able to live what is essentially thousands upon thousands of years.

This might also be another way to achiev immortality. If your body was machine it would not stop out of age, and if death would occur repairs might make you functional again.

Current estimations are that there have been about 108 billion humans in the history of the world. Currently, there are what, 7 billion humans alive? That means humans only die about 93.5% of the time.

I don't plan on ever dying.

Is there a series where every human is forced to be an immortal that can never be killed but is sterile and can't reproduce? I think it would be interesting seeing what would happen when suddenly you couldn't kill anyone. How would wars be conducted? Would wars still exist?

I doubt immortality would ever have an OK from the government. So many industries would cease or die. They wouldn't allow it due to greed.

It'll end up being like the Silmarillion setting but without an evil god out to get us. We'll just be hanging out making awesome buildings and crafting fancy weapons and eventually new mortal races will pop up to replace us and we'll have to either leave to space or retreat into the hollow earth world that conveniently exists for the setting.

Or maybe there could be an evil god that floats on down from space to try to steal our jewels.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9804909
They will probably die anyways in time, just like all the obsolete firms.

You will still need food to repair your cells. It will just make some medical treatments obsolete.

And I wouldn't worry about population growth. It will most likely continue to at the replacement rate. If we've found a cure for aging 20 years ago, then that would have been a problem. But now the human population is stabilizing and we will most likely will not find a cure for aging this generation.

Hell, it might just be a prolonged lifespan but I rather doubt we'll be immortal.

I think if you live long enough, you start to realize companies just want to sell you things, and they will do anything to do that. The government is already keeping backups of all the information facebook collects from people. They need stupid people who live as soon as they die to buy things, reproduce, and die. It just wouldn't work if you had people who lived long enough to get sick of everything.

We wouldn't have immortality but a possible prolonged lifespan and youthful vigor.

Not many industries will be affected besides health. And then that could be beneficial, since it might bring the cost of care down because there are fewer sick people.

In many vampire type fictions, the vampire doesn't even need air just like they don't need food, so suffocation wouldn't do anything, however the threat of exploding in space is always there and that would probably kill you.

Dog Days, ignoring that they can reproduce. Their wars are timed and point based.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't think I would. Obtaining food would be too difficult and I wouldn't want to have to bite people or livestock, and there aren't any livestock here.
I would if I could go to the hospital and say "Hey, I'm a vampire and I don't want to have to hurt people, so can I pay you for 50 transfusion bags per week?".
Somehow I doubt that would be acceptable.
Aside from that, I avoid the sun already and I don't have any enemies who would use garlic against me. I would be a good candidate for vampirism if I could get the food thing sorted out.
