Agelessness

rdfs:comment

This ability means that Dwight doesn't physically age. He therefore will maintain his health, mental and physical fitness and a youthful appearance throughout his life. However, he isn't immortal. He doesn't heal rapidly from any injuries and he will still die at the end of a normal lifespan. He cannot become ill but this is due to his nosokinesis, not this ability. Agelessness is the supernatural lack of aging over time. While it protects those who possess it from growing old and possibly protects them from disease, it is distinctly different from immortality in that ageless people can still be killed by other means.

This ability means that Dwight doesn't physically age. He therefore will maintain his health, mental and physical fitness and a youthful appearance throughout his life. However, he isn't immortal. He doesn't heal rapidly from any injuries and he will still die at the end of a normal lifespan. He cannot become ill but this is due to his nosokinesis, not this ability. Agelessness is the supernatural lack of aging over time. While it protects those who possess it from growing old and possibly protects them from disease, it is distinctly different from immortality in that ageless people can still be killed by other means. Four characters are known to have possessed agelessness: Jacob's adoptive mother, Jacob, and Richard Alpert. The Man in Black had the ability to take on the form of deceased people, making him appear ageless. Jack Shephard may have briefly gained the ability after becoming the new Protector of the Island. Hurley may have as well, and Ben may have after becoming Hurley's deputy.
