Few things in this universe are unchanging or constant. Ages begin and end, worlds live and die, men wage wars, create wonders and change the minds of billions in a moment. Yet, in this particular case, your character has become one of those things which refuses to change. One day they simply wake up and find that time has released its grip upon them, that death will not claim them and that they are capable of acting with no threat of anything ever stopping them. It is an opportunity like no other, to fight without any shred of fear, to spend millions of years building their own vision, or simply watching how the galaxy changes over the course of history.

So, how do they react to this? What do they accomplish with their new immortality, and what do they desire? Is it a gift or a curse to them? Feel free to write down a story about this, set at any point after this took place, from a few minutes after realising it to a billion years into the future.
