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. |
