Random Universe Idea that popped into my head
There's a friend group where one of the friends is immortal
One day after one of the friends gets into a life-threatening accident(he survives though) the immortal one breaks down
It freaks the others out because the immortal one is very calm and stoic 24/7 and even though they obviously like the group they're a bit distant
(the others assume they're just not used to mortals like them, but they don't care and include and treasure Immo anyways)
It turns out Immo wasn't always that distant, but they've watched those they care about pass on so many times it broke something in them, and they were attracted to the group and couldn't keep themselves away but they wanted to keep their emotions shut down so badly because they didn't want to lose people they cared about again
(It didn't work, they cared so, so much and now they were going to have to watch their loved ones pass away again)
Immo can't die, they're a true immortal and after nearly watching one of their friends die they kinda shut down in depression
(later it is revealed by the friend that nearly died that although Immo didn't say((and assumed that guy forgot)) they saved him from the near death and they were in tears hyperventilating before running away after dropping him off at the hospital)
So the group of friends decides enough is enough they can't allow their friend to be hurt like that so they go on a quest to get themselves immortality too
Kinda a twist on the villains big evil journey to become immortal
Plot twist;
Although they were already long Immortal at the time, Immo has come across this friend group before
(They, just like basically every other soul, reincarnate. Its just a thing that exists, I might go further in the world building later, however just keep in mind that souls are a thing, they reincarnate, and some beings can sense souls. It's not an immortality thing though, and if you have enough aptitude you can be taught, not matter what species((yes there is a soul-sensing goose, no I will not eleborate)))
They're not always in the same country, or circle, or age-group, ethnicity or anything like that but whenever they meet they're always friends
(Its weird to even them because sometimes it's a 6y/o girl being bff's with this kinda creepy 21y/o or this bubbly 23y/o himbo being the best friend of this 87y/o harsh veteran)
They're not always born in the same time but when they are all born together, no matter how unlikely it seems and no matter how far apart they will always meet and Immo will never be able to stop themselves from meeting the group
They never remember anything though, which hurts a lot, and also makes stuff a tad uncomfortable, because even though they accept anything about the others and don't really question each others shit, sometimes Immo mentions something that happened in a previous time, and then shuts down because they don't want to replace their friends by these are their friends in a way(?) Even though they don't remember and it just hurts
So overtime Immo because very stoic and reserved and silent to the point of developing both slight haphephobia and touch starvation and just overall the big sad
I'm planning on having the group mostly have a different type of immortality (some will be connected though) and there will be one that will reincarnate with memories but still die
The others, unlike Immo, also won't be true immortals, not really
Ask questions if you have them I might answer
Also, spelling mistakes? Probably, I am very tired, this is a late night ramble
