Homebrew Eternal Species Details

While true immortality is the realm of gods and monsters, Eternals have chosen or had forced upon them the next "best" thing. To be an Eternal means that you will never age or physically change from the moment you gain the status. For many Eternals, this means a forever of being trapped inside an old or decaying body, and many choose to continue to search for magical means to regain their youth, but it is an illusion. 

Whatever the physical status of the Eternal when they are changed into such, that is the physical condition they will remain in until their life is taken. No illness will ever touch them, they will not age. Limbs cannot be regrown, hair, if cut, will immediately regrow, fingernails will not grow, teeth will not decay.  They do not require food, water or sleep. They are like a living, moving picture, unchanged from one centuary to the next.

Eternals are only immortal in so much as they will not due of old age or disease. They can still be killed by any mortal wound, and as such many choose to isolate themselves away from others, so that they are safe, and will not watch those they care about age and decay. It is a lonely life, and not one many will remain in once they have realised how lonely it can be. As such, many 'young' Eternals choose to either throw themselves into war in the hope they may gain an honourable death, or take their own life.
