An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

This character maintains immortality by consuming some vital force from their victims. This is often Life Energy, but can also be youth or blood. There is often some sort of conservation of lifespan where the victim's life is added to the immortal's and the victim dies so that the immortal can continue to keep living. This form of immortality usually grants eternal youth and the feeding process may actually cause the victim to grow older because the victim's youth is being drained into the immortal. If such an immortal doesn't feed, they will eventually die. Subtrope of Immortality.

  • This character maintains immortality by consuming some vital force from their victims. This is often Life Energy, but can also be youth or blood. There is often some sort of conservation of lifespan where the victim's life is added to the immortal's and the victim dies so that the immortal can continue to keep living. This form of immortality usually grants eternal youth and the feeding process may actually cause the victim to grow older because the victim's youth is being drained into the immortal. If such an immortal doesn't feed, they will eventually die. May overlap with Blood Magic and Liquid Assets. Might also involve an Artifact of Doom or Evil Weapon. No Immortal Inertia is often paired with this trope when the immortal is destroyed. Comparable and closely related to Blood Bath, where a character attains life or power by immersing oneself in the vital essence of his/her victim(s), rather than by consuming it. Subtrope of Immortality. Although this type of immortality could be described as vampiric, only sometimes does it apply to actual vampires. Vampires usually won't die from a lack of blood.
