It’s not like there are people checking for immortals, I think it would be flagged by a dmv employee or something when they dont believe a clear 21 year old is actually 150. Let’s assume it’s current day im caught and not bring speculation on what the US is like in the year 2139 is like.
If your goal is to avoid that, and you look 21 permanently a la Highlander, you probably want to get new one every thirty years or so, starting over as a “runaway teen” or “refugee” who lacks identity documents with a nominal age of fifteen.
Or just commit identity theft. That one you could probably do once a decade, or more; just keep a running file of unsolved disappearances of children and teens and pull another one out whenever the age more-or-less fits.
What if this is the only reason people commit identity theft? There could be millions of immortals out there, just trying to get by.
Continue having children throughout your immortality every 20 years or so. Make sure you have an child of the gender equal to your own, and on their 21st birthday, you switch identities with them. You sit for their picture on their newly issued ID on their 21st birthday, and suddenly its your picture that is the one of record for the legal 21 year old. Your child takes over you identity, grows old, and dies. Repeat ad infinitum.
what happens when the child is immortal too?
You eat them
I don’t think that worked out so well for the titans,
ONCE AND FOR ALL
Child didn’t have to survive birth. I think that is what happens in highlander, he finds dead children’s names and takes them.
Seems like you’ve given this some thought.
Some of us really liked Highlander
As someone who isn’t an immortal Highlander, this works.
That sounds exactly like something an immortal Highlander would say
So, what I would likely do, is go to a country with somewhat easy-to-bribe officials, get a new identity made there; Then get a degree as an OBGYN and slip false names into their system.
you can then re immigrate to wherever, get a somewhat corrupt doctor to keep the “family” running so you get new identities that don’t involve taking over actual people’s identities.
depending on how careful you want to get, you’d have to then generate fake histories with residences, and eventually careers, but given the ability to compound inordinate wealth; it wouldn’t be too hard.
we’re already almost at the point where biometric tech will make all that irrelevant, especially facial recognition. to really fly under the radar in the future you’re gonna need to hack security systems and erase your data every so often.
Or remodel your face
