- "I'm only human, and every human has a heart, no matter how large or small. People can call me a monster all they want, but the reality is I can't be the strongest pirate forever. If I can save this one young man's life, I'll have earned the right to retire from this world once and for all."
- ― Edward Newgate/Whitebeard (One Piece)
The trait of being mortal. Opposite to Immortality.
Effects[]
The trait of physiologies vulnerable to death. This trait is inherent in all non-supernatural physiologies, most supernatural physiologies, and many transcendent physiologies. Even some gods are mortal. It should be assumed, if not explicitly stated otherwise, that a physiology is mortal.
For those rare physiologies that are inherently immortal, mortality can still be induced through loss of immortality, loss of invulnerability, falling from grace, etc., whatever the case may be, the user becomes a mortal being and/or were always mortal.
Mortality can be revoked, if the user is forced to live a cursed existence or becomes an undead.
