THE IMMORTALS

This site takes on the idea of Immortals from the animated series Baccano!. The path to immortality lies in the Elixir of Life, a drink discovered by alchemists centuries ago, and brought to Brack by a stroke of luck by the Bootleggers. What does this mean for the role play? Well, for one thing, there are going to be some people who can't die, and there are going to be others who would kill to get their hands on such power. It's a point of tension between the largest rackets, and ensures countless victories for whatever gang can get their hands on the recipe.

It makes this whole city just a bit more dangerous; because who knows what could happen when death is no longer that great unifier?

There are people out there trying to make their own Elixir, but it's nowhere near as effective as the original, some versions needing to be taken multiple times to work at all. There's also strings attached; because Immortals can be killed, but only by another Immortal. It involves an almost ritualistic placing of the left palm on the victims head, and results in complete and utter absorption of the victim by their killer. The hardest part of killing an 'Immortal' (aside from being one yourself) is managing to catch him.
