I got this one from sparklebutch: Which Immortal in Highlander are you?

Unsurprisingly, I got the one who is so much my favourite character that he ruined all the others for me. Who is one of my favourite characters of all time. I still think he was underused....

You scored as Methos. You are Methos. You are non-confrontational, mysterious, and secretive. You often act on impulse, evading and avoiding others as much as you can, but are willing to align yourself with someone if they can help your chances of survival in any given situation. </td> Methos 100% Connor MacLeod 75% Richie Ryan 75% Duncan MacLeod 75% Cassandra 42% Ramirez 33% Kurgan 33% Amanda 25% Kronos 8% Which Highlander immortal character are you? created with QuizFarm.com

Now, this leads me to think: what other Immortal characters do I love? Many. Even if you exclude a few people who might be immortal, though it hasn't been proved yet, like Wolverine, Nick Fury, and Magneto. My list, in no particular order:

1. Doctor Who (Nine)
2. Doctor Who (Ten)
3. Xas (from The Vintner's Luck by Elizabeth Knox)
4. Methos (of course)
5. Dream (whether he is actually immortal or not is a moot question, since he changed from Morpheus to Daniel... so presumably it's the role, not the individual, who is truly immortal. Yet he is still one of the Endless, still a sibling to the others... Hmm. This reference, of course, is to the comic The Sandman by Neil Gaiman)
6. Desire, also from The Sandman by Neil Gaiman - Dream's sister-brother
7. I'm tempted to say Shakespeare, because he's called the Immortal Bard, but I won't
8. Oberon or Auberon, King of Faerie (spelling depending on source - Gaiman or Shakespeare? Or other?)
9. Simon, the vampire in The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause

Any others? I must be missing some....
