Mm, now that’s a story, I suppose. I wasn’t born with them or anything. They came about from the time I took an experimental genetic alteration treatment.

@Heroic

Was it cool or pretty anti-cool?

@Techspert

It was because I was dying, so that part was pretty “anti-cool”. But the effects of the treatment were NOT dying AND powers. I’d say, overall, it was “cool”.

@Heroic

That's a pretty sick rehab program.

How many years?

@Heroic

Mierno:
More than youve been alive, probably.

@Techspert

That’s certainly a way to put it, I’d say!

@souleaterfan320

No number?

@Heroic

Any others who got what you did?

@Techspert

Not successfully.

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Not successfully.

@Heroic

Why is that?

[Heroic]

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Why is that?

@Techspert

I mean, it’s still experimental. Not a 100% success rate with it, and not many trials of it either.

@Heroic

It looks like the success rate is exactly 1 over the number of test subjects.

Mierno: lets just go with 'I've been around for a long time'.

@Techspert

A few as far as it working as a treatment, I’d say, but I’m the only one who ended up with this.

@souleaterfan320

That is a little too vague to be a satisfying answer. But alrighty then!

@Heroic

Was that the goal?

His age doesn't count anymore because he was sealed away for ages.

@Techspert

The goal was to heal people. If what happened to me was ever an intention, then I was never made aware.

... Ages, you say? Are you people immortal too?

@Heroic

Weird.

Yeah, isn't everybody these days? Aging is so last millennium.

@Techspert

Not old enough to know, but if everyone is immortal, I didn’t get the memo.

@Heroic

*Shrugs*
It's not all it's cracked up to be. Being immortal is basically the same thing as not being immortal.

@Techspert

I fail to see how, personally.

@Heroic

Because it's no guarantee of survival. You only bypass the whole aging problem, and you get over the "all of my non-immortal friends die, wahh" thing pretty quickly.

@Techspert

I feel like most people would live longer with immortality, other survival factors included or not. Most people don’t just keel over randomly, or throw themselves into danger on a whim.
