Imthanata is an umbrella for identities related to or framed in immortality, with a focus on the mundane and dull rather than deific and extraordinary. It is about living a life as an immortal or through the lens of immortality.
Watching a tree grow from seed, making fleeting attachments, finding new things to ponder and enjoy, acts of kindness which are not even a blip in one's life but everything for those they are done to. Sitting back and watching how we learn more and more about the universe, taking a telescope and observing how much the sky has changed over time. All of these are examples of the nature of imthanata. They are not grand, instead being down-to-earth and free.
Multiple imthanata identities are imthanatae, while an individual with an imthanata identity is (an) imthanatal. Something with the nature of imthanata is imthanatous. As a gender alignment, it is imthanic, and as a presentation, it is imthanis.
Imthanata identity is not inherently xenic, despite appearances. The identity is grounded in humanlike experiences and immortality as it is for humans and humanlike creatures. While it can be combined with xenic identity or personally considered xenic, it is meant to be very human-relatable.
Imthanata often overlaps with mortelum, tempoirine, sonderous, and everithe.
The imthanata symbol is 🜰, an alchemical symbol for regulus of antimony (as in, antimony which has been melted down and purified). It was chosen due to its appearance, which is reminiscent of both a head with a crown and a flower.
Imthanata comes from immortal + athanasia, the latter of which is a word derived from Ancient Greek. Immortal is comprised of the prefix im, meaning "not", and mortal, meaning "capable of death". Athanasia consists of the prefix a, meaning "without", and thanatos, meaning "death". A is added as a suffix with the meaning of "being" (a demarcation of a noun).
