Because I love you anon, I will flesh out your idea:

>char struggles to become immortal
>once immortal char realizes that only the mortal can be noble and courageous - with nothing at risk the immortal become little more than rocks and wind. All essential meaning is lost.
>Finally, he "transitions" back to being mortal - and dies in a heroic fashion, saving many people.
>Because of his heroism, after his death monuments are built to him and he becomes immortal.

See how easy that was?

are you a disciplined, talented author?

what i mean to say is: you could be writing the next Marsellus Wallace

But you could also be writing the next Conor "Highlander" McLeod.

Mortal vs Immortal and their relation to courage and nobility underscores most of ancient greek literature and tragedy. Its a timeless theme.
However I'm sure "50 Shades of Grey" was enjoyable and its good there are books that encourages you to read.

It's the plot of the first known written story. Which has had lasting appeal, and otherwise immortalized its protagonist. So yes, I would think so.

a man lives forever but time still slips between his fingers.

he may always have his life
but he may not always have his wits.

Would have been a good Greek play. But you are more than 2000 years to late.
