I've been good, actually! Can't really complain. Story ideas came and went. Nine times out of ten, I'd actually end up getting bored of them. Which is a shame, I look at my old work and character sheets and look upon them somewhat fondly (though a lot of my old work makes me cringe -- eh, that's growth for ya). Currently, I'm working on a new worldbuilding project and story. I made a new 'verse sheet but I'm unsure of where to go from there, really. I *am* writing a web serial that I hope to maybe make an ebook some day.

I see. You have a point there, since "Planes" in say MTG tend to encompass entire solar systems and galaxies. But they can also encompass universes or multiverses.

And I got it. So Lawrence's "identity" never truly changes and remains static, but his properties can end up changing. Interesting solution to what I call the Immortality Problem; basically the idea that humanoid gods like, say, the Olympians remain unchanging despite apparently experiencing reality in a similar way to mortals.

One of the solutions I'd thought to the Immortality Problem (aside from yours, it's actually pretty eloquent and I might use it in something I write, if you don't mind) is that if the immortal being is essentially an eldritch abomination in the same vein as the Outer Gods from the Cthulhu Mythos. The Outer Gods are entirely unchanging because they aren't necessarily living beings, but sentient cosmological concepts that don't really change because they don't really *need* to. But in that same vein, they don't really experience in a way that can meaningfully be called "experiencing" anything.

I'm rambling though. Really nice talking to you again!
