[quote][u]I think that the age of a Guardian is entirely dependent upon how old they were when they first died.[/u] [/quote]
I don't mean to sound rude but was this not obvious to you before Rise of Iron. I mean I've basically taken the idea that Guardians were immortal as fact sense it released. What you say about the Ghosts is probably a fact as well.
I'm just wondering why if you thought they were immortal, why did you think they would age?

The way I saw the whole Ghost resurrection thing is that the Ghost restores a molecular copy of the Guardian that they are unwilling or unable to drastically change, so a Guardian can age but be effectively immortal in the biological sense as well as being able to alter the attunement of their Light but you couldn't have a Titan use Shadowshot or Radiance due to the inability to drastically alter the molecular composition.

This is not a "holy crap I just figured this out!!1!" post, this is an informative post for the community.

Again, I wasn't being rude. Just curious. The way they use their immortality is pretty unique isn't it? For example, the warlocks called Thanatonauts who would kill themselves to have visions or how we battle each other in the Crucible. I've never really seen that in sci-fi or fantasy. You're post just sparked some imagination for a half baked millennial that's all [url=http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/14/144096/3795099-3091813538-tumbl.gif][u][b]and that's how you do the Scarn[/b][/u][/url]

reminder immortality does not necessarily mean you are ageless
-
Immortality stops the process of aging... If you still age then you are not immortal
-
immortality is the inability to die. its like if you asked a monkeys paw for immortality it will give it to you but you will continue to age forever and eventually be an old person unable to move and also unable to die

You're getting Immortality confused with invincibility. Immortality is if you cannot die from age (usually meaning that you fit age at all, but not always) and sometimes not from other natural causes either, such as eating, drinking, and breathing. Invincibility is if you cannot be killed, period. Invincibility usually also comes with the perk of not aging. If someone cannot die from old age, but can still be shot and killed, they're immortal. If they can't die, ever, then they're invincible.
