In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Triton had already been getting on in years when he first joined up with Moebius, which granted him immortality. He's a scatterbrained sort, noting that entire lifetimes practically pass him by when he blinks. He has forgotten things such as how to transform into his Moebius form, and a promise he had made to an old friend with whom he travelled to find the best recipe for the miso paste for which said friend had sacrificed his life to obtain. Sherrill's dense, poetic style never falters in its creation of a perfect metaphor for the eternal outsider -- CAROL BIRCH * * Wall Street Journal * *

Eberron: The Warforged are immortal constructs with souls. They must get their minds periodically wiped so that they do not go insane from an overload of memories. They can, however, vaguely recall their memories in a pinch, such that they can always make an untrained Knowledge roll for the off chance that they dig up information on a subject learned in a "previous life." urn:oclc:569990258 Republisher_date 20120224130316 Republisher_operator [email protected] Scandate 20120223192151 Scanner scribe8.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Source Sherrill is an eloquent, reflective, and subtle writer who pays close attention to detail, and to whom the words chosen matter a great deal. He is trying to do more than just entertain us. He shows us a microcosm revealing some of the more harrowing, cruel, and disgusting aspects of humanity, while simultaneously (and there’s the hard bit) showing us that there is still the possibility of redemption — or at least momentary reprieve — through acts of kindness, compassion, and love. Readers may feel a whole slew of conflicting emotions both during and after reading Minotaur, and may come away from it thinking, “What did I just read?! Am I okay with that? Should I be okay with that? Does it matter either way?” Jin of Wapsi Square has lived for over 80,000 years due to immortality and a "Groundhog Day" Loop, and, as a result, she often has difficulties remembering details from previous cycles. She often entrusts people with information to help her remember.

In the last episode, Angel asks Harmony if she remembers what it was like being human because he no longer remembers himself. The Minotaur in Steven Sherrill's novel is a being I can relate to. He has a hulking frame that tends to bump into things, is quiet and introspective, feels like a bit of an outsider in the ordinary human world, and doesn't always know the best way to verbalize his thoughts, so he often just says "mmmmm". The pros and cons of this trope are discussed at various points in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and its expansion Torna: The Golden Country. Pyra and Mythra, as the Aegis, hate the fact they must remember the destruction of Torna after 500 years, and at one point subtly express envy that other blades lose their memories when they "die" and are bonded with a new driver. Brighid, by contrast, keeps a diary in each of her "lives" so that she can keep the memories of her past in some form, which is made easier since she's an heirloom blade of a single royal family. And then there's Poppi, the artificial blade, who at one point suffers some minor angst when she realizes she's going to outlive most of her loved ones, but takes comfort in knowing her computer brain will never forget them.

Princess Celestia: That is only one truth Twilight, one version, and even I can't remember anymore how accurate it is. So much has been repaired and revised since then. I sometimes remember it as you've seen in that reenactment. Other times I remember it just being me and Lulu, Discord gone, and me a naive little goddess thinking that without her parents baring down on her, not there to help her, guide her, that maybe at least she could make a land where everyone was happy no matter what.In " The Girl who Died", the Doctor suddenly pierces through the fog of his fading memories and remembers where he got his face from— a man whose family he once saved 1100 years ago. The Abh touch upon this in Crest of the Stars and its sequels. They live for between 200 and 250 years and their genetic engineering technology is such that they can live much longer. It's not enough to stop The Fog of Ages setting in, though, so their bodies are designed to shut down while their mental faculties are more or less intact. This is the most surreal slab of realism you will read all year. Unique and rather wonderful * * Arena * * Khayman in Queen of the Damned suffers from this. As the third vampire ever in existence, he has spent the last 6000 years continuously active, alternatively losing and regaining his mind over the centuries, thus remembers little of his own life. It's been implied that during his periods of sanity, he engages in a game of manhunt with the Talamasca, who study the supernatural, while simultaneously writing many treaties on the origins of the vampire race as a member simply because he likes to mess with them. Averted with his contemporary Maharet, who holds on to the memories because of her connection to the numerous descendants of her human daughter, but played straight with her twin sister Mekare, who has gone insane over the millennia. In Dark Souls II, this is one of the symptoms of the Undead Curse. The longer a person is Undead, the more their memories and sanity fade away. Human Effigies can temporarily halt this, but it still seems inevitable. One of them, Lucatiel, begs the Bearer of the Curse to remember her name, as she's forgetting it herself. Dark Souls III reveals the Bearer kept their promise by naming a hat-and-mask set Lucatiel's Mask, which still carries her name centuries after II.
