Of course, an immortal in a PNR is easy - they are very old! But it could just be 'older' than the type of characters you usually read. Or even a book where one MC is 'older' than the other.
Thanks MountainKat. I realized after the I can do that but ran out and couldn't update :)
I hope it helped someone else then! =)
