Line #3 PlayingWith/NoImmortalInertia


1	'''Basic Trope''': When ReallySevenHundredYearsOld immortals lose their immortality, they [[RapidAging age rapidly]] until they reach their true age.
2	* '''Straight''': [[AristocratsAreEvil Baron]] [[SdrawkcabName Latrommi]] uses the PowerCrystal to remain young. When the crystal is broken, Latrommi starts aging rapidly. A few minutes later, when he reaches his true age, he's reduced to a pile of dust.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': When Latrommi's magic that is keeping him young is dispelled, he instantly crumbles to dust despite starting it when he was a young adult and only using it for a few years.
4	* '''Downplayed''': It takes Latrommi a couple of weeks to reach his true age.
5	* '''Justified''': Latrommi's youth is just an illusion created by the PowerCrystal. When the crystal is shattered, so is the illusion.
6	* '''Inverted''': Latrommi has a curse that makes him [[MerlinSickness age backwards]] and the PowerCrystal stalls said curse. When the crystal is broken, Latrommi rapidly grows younger, eventually being reduced to a teenager, then a child, a baby, a fetus, and finally a single cell.
7	* '''Subverted''': Before destroying the crystal, Alice tells Bob that this is about to happen to Latrommi. When the crystal is broken, Latrommi points out that he's not aging.
8	* '''Double Subverted''': Then Alice asks if Latrommi's hair has always been grey. Cue OhCrap.
9	* '''Parodied''':
10	** When the crystal is broken, Latrommi disappears and his tombstone suddenly pops up on a graveyard.
11	** When the crystal is broken, Pharaoh Latrommi is instantly mummified. And maybe still alive, being mildly annoyed by his transformation.
12	** Latrommi has been using the crystal for a massive... ten days. When it's broken, he complains about suddenly looking ten days older, even though it's impossible to see any difference.
13	* '''Zig Zagged''': This happens to some immortals, but not all.
14	* '''Averted''':
15	** Latrommi starts aging at a normal pace after losing his immortality.
16	** Latrommi is an ElderlyImmortal [[AgeWithoutYouth who already looks his age]]. He just simply dies of any natural health complications from old age when his immortality is taken away.
17	** Latrommi's immortality is permanent, even when its source is gone.
18	** Bob kills Latrommi immediately after breaking the crystal.
19	* '''Enforced''': It's necessary for the plot that Latrommi is killed off quickly. The first draft had [[GoodIsNotSoft Alice stabbing Latrommi to death]] after the crystal was broken, but the censors found the scene too violent and objected to TheHero being a murderer, so they forced the writer to come up with some other way to get rid of Latrommi.
20	* '''Lampshaded''': "Ew, that seven-hundred-year old look is gross!" "At least the aging is rapid, so it doesn't last long."
21	* '''Invoked''': Latrommi's immortality was originally not dependent on the crystal. Alice and Bob used their magic to weaken Latrommi, making him dependent on the crystal before destroying it.
22	* '''Exploited''': Alice and Bob use this to kill Latrommi fairly quickly and have him suffer the fate he has [[ImmortalityImmorality committed so many immoral actions to avoid]].
23	* '''Defied''':
24	** Latrommi hides and protects the PowerCrystal to prevent this from happening.
25	** Latrommi finds a way to extract the crystal's power, thus making his immortality independent of it.
26	* '''Discussed''': "[[TemptingFate I hope I won't age rapidly if I ever lose my immortality]]."
27	* '''Conversed''': "Why does Latrommi age that quickly only because he lost his immortality?"
28	* '''Implied''': Alice breaks the crystal. The next day, Bob has found out that Latrommi is dead.
29	%%* '''Deconstructed''': ???
30	%%* '''Reconstructed''': ???
31	%%* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': ???
32	* '''Played For Laughs''': Latrommi is of a weird fantasy race. Creatures of that race look more and more ridiculous the older they get.
33	* '''Played For Drama''': Latrommi's RapidAging is a PainfulTransformation, and it's traumatic both for him and everyone that watches it.
34	----
35	Return to NoImmortalInertia before it's reduced to a pile of dust.
