In fiction, immortality is a crapshoot. Some think that it is great and some think that it's horrible. This trope is the happy medium between the angst-free, eternally youthful immortal, and the immortal who might welcome death. The character keeps their health with immortality, but not youth. As a result, these characters are forever stuck at the apparent age when most mortals' health finally begins to succumb to the ravages of old age, but, unlike the Age Without Youth character, they usually remain vigorous, healthy, "active seniors," and are usually still at least somewhat attractive. |

Adventure Time: The Ice King is one of these. Oddly, he was young before the event that made him immortal; as he became immortal he became old and heavyset, and then stopped aging as soon as he was done transforming. Though despite his puffy robe, the Ice King has rather frail and spindly limbs, blending him with Type C. The episodes "Finn the Human" and "Jake the Dog" take place in an alternate timeline created by Finn's wish. In this universe, Marceline never became a vampire but was still half-demon, meaning she never stopped aging but had a very long lifespan. |

Morganville Vampires: Oliver is a 400-year-old vampire who has long gray hair and looks middle-aged. He was turned into a vampire when he was 60, and hence looks his age before his siring. Bishop looks like an old man and he's the oldest vampire in existence, being over a thousand years old. |

General Immortus, long-time foe of the Doom Patrol. Precisely how he came into possession of an immortality serum is not discussed, but it appears that he was already quite elderly when he first used it. In the first stories that feature him, Immortus is bald, stooped and very, very wrinkled, like one of those shrunken apple dolls. And he's looked that way at least since the days of the Roman Republic. | |

Dallben from The Chronicles of Prydain is sort of a type C. Whether he's exactly immortal is unknown, but he has at least lived several times the normal human lifespan. His aging however, isn't natural. He was aged prematurely when he read the Book of Three from beginning to end. So for a good chunk of his life he was actually Younger Than They Look. | |

Thor: God of Thunder: All-Father Thor from the far future is an surly old god who has more in common with his father Odin than his past selves, to their horror when they travel to the far future and meet him. Despite being hundreds of thousands of years old — if not millions or billions by the time of King Thor — he's still capable of kicking as much butt as his younger counterparts. | |

Amerasu from Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. One of the oldest Sithi, she physically looks barely out of her teens (like most adults of her race), but her personality and the way she carries herself are both indicative of tremendous age. In any case, she's both an immortal and obviously elderly, and fits here better than under any of the other types. | |

The immortals of Highlander don't stop aging until after their first death, though it has to be a violent one; old age and natural causes won't cut it, but getting shot or being in a car accident will. Thus, some immortals look 20, some look 40, and some look 60. There was at least one immortal from the TV series who looked to be in his 70s, and one who was stuck as a child for 800 years. | |

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn: At the end of The Lost Age, Kraden was among those present at the ignition of the Golden Sun, meaning he too ages much slower. Unfortunately, he was already old when it happened, and spending thirty years hasn't improved on that, though he's still as chipper as he was before. Ironically enough for a wizardly-looking scholar, despite studying Alchemy for his entire life he can't use Psynergy. | |

Prophet Velen, leader of the draenei in World of Warcraft, is old enough to have quit keeping track of his age before the draenei left Argus 25,000 years ago. In Rise of the Horde, he's stated to be tall and thin by draenic standards (albeit spry enough to keep up with his much younger guards on foot), with long white hair, a long white beard, and "character lines." His in-game model, despite a few minor discrepancies (blue-violet skin rather than pure white, for one) matches that description. | |

The Lord of the Rings: Gandalf didn't just stop aging or age slowly at some point, he was "made" old. Or rather, when he and the other Wizards - actually Maiar - were sent to Middle-Earth, the Valar intentionally made them appear old and feeble so the mortal leaders wouldn't feel threatened by them (and so they didn't forget their station and become another Sauron). His physical strength is superior to most Men or Elven warriors. Cirdan the Shipwright, he was "born" when the elves were originally created near the beginning of the First Age, and by the Fourth Age, he was so old that he had a white beard, something that was unheard of. |

The Demiurge Mottom from Kill Six Billion Demons is thousands of years old and keeps her body together through sheer force of will and with the aid of a fruit that temporarily reverses her aging. When she is not using said fruit to keep up appearances she very much looks her age, resembling a desiccated old corpse that stands four feet tall on a good day. Despite her appearance, Mottom is both very much alive and more physically spry than twenty-three-year-old Allison, as demonstrated when she leaps across a room faster than the latter can react in order to Jump Scare her. | |

In The Immortals it's said that most human gods look either young or mature. The Threefold Goddess can take an elder's form but is an upright, dignified representation of age. The Graveyard Hag, on the other hand, is usually bent-backed with a cane, not much hair, and a wicked grin revealing that she has few teeth. She's as strong and lively as she wants to be, of course. | |

Ravel Puzzlewell from Planescape: Torment mixes the Yoda with elements of Wizard and Jolly Old Elf, taking the form of a wizened old hag with a few stringy hairs, purple skin covered in warts and pustules, shriveled limbs and a visible pot-belly. She barely reaches to The Nameless One's chest. Like all Night Hags she is a shapeshifter by nature, meaning she takes her hag form only as often as she feels like it. | |

The Childlike Empress in The Neverending Story is Type E, in the novel version. She's a white-haired girl who looks about 10 years old and is "much older than the oldest inhabitants of Fantastica". | |

Jerry the Immortal from El Goonish Shive is a jovial and honorable Chivalrous Pervert who even compares himself to Santa Claus while trying to convince the girls that he's harmless. The Immortals Helen and Demtrius also appear like this in flashback (although when Jerry learns what they did, he thinks they were bastards). All three have since "reset", meaning they now appear young because, mentally, they are. | |

In Drowtales while fae will remain at the human equivalent of 30 years old with sufficient mana if they are outside of the mana pool for an extended period of time they will start to age much as a human would and become like this, with the condition possibly being fatal, with Lioshi being the clearest example compared to his peers who appear somewhat older but not to the same extent since only he lives on the surface. | |

The Lost Girl/Rizzoli & Isles fic "Boston Bound Fae" features Angela as a female example of this, as she and Jane are Fae wolf-shifters but Jane is actually older than Angela. Jane explains that this is because Angela essentially chose to fill a maternal role in their pack whereas Jane preferred to be a warrior, so she basically chose to look older. | |

On Doctor Who, four of the Doctor's incarnations — the First Doctor, the Third Doctor, the War Doctor, and the Twelfth Doctor — were played by visibly aging actors. A Time Lord's apparent age is usually rather arbitrary, but they do seem to age if they go long enough without regenerating. For example, the mini-episode "The Night of the Doctor" shows that the War Doctor initially looked like a young John Hurt, and the 2013 Christmas Special "The Time of the Doctor" shows Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor aging over the course of centuries until he looks like an old man right before he regenerates. In the old-school serials The Deadly Assassin and The Keeper of Traken, The Master is shown to have undergone an even worse Age Without Youth process to the point of looking like a rotting corpse. | |

Szilard Quates from Baccano! may qualify for this. He's something of a mix between Type A and Type B. He has a physical appearance resembling Type B somewhat (though Headmaster Dalton Strauss from the novels is much more of a straight Type B, and Szilard is definitely above that), but is far stronger and more youthful than he appears due to having absorbed the knowledge, fighting styles, and muscle memories of at least 20 other people as well as his own ~200 years of life experiences, not to mention all of his experiments on his own body that allow him nigh-instantaneous regeneration from most injuries that would at least incapacitate other immortals for a minute or two. And he is very fit and aged well prior to gaining his immortality. | |

Hades: Demeter, despite being as immortal as the rest of the Olympians, is the only one of them who looks older than forty. She appears as an elderly woman with whitened hair and slightly wrinkled skin, though more akin to 'reached retirement age with a good skin-care routine' than 'wizened old hag'. | |

Issus from John Carter of Mars. Martians are all The Ageless, but their immortality is invariably cut short by something - living beyond a thousand Martian years is incredibly rare (and practically sacrilegious in most places). The living goddess Issus nonetheless shows very serious signs of aging; as she's mentioned to have lived for eons, it's probably the hundreds of thousands of years finally taking their toll. | |

What We Do in the Shadows has Pauline, a ninety-six-year-old woman, being vampirized. She's as immortal as the rest of the cast, who were turned in their youth, but she retains her elderly appearance. Ironically, she's actually younger than any of them; her being turned was Viago saving her from the natural endpoint of a Mayfly–December Romance. | |

Rumpelstiltskin in Once Upon a Time isn't strictly speaking elderly, but he looks significantly older than most other immortal or long-lived beings in the setting, where usually Immortality Begins at Twenty. In his case, it's because he didn't become immortal until he was pushing fifty. | |

Matron Baenre of the Forgotten Realms was over a thousand years old before her death at the hands of Bruenor Battlehammer and his axe. Unlike most Drow, she shows her age though this is because she invoked zin-carla — a necromantic ritual that grants a priestess of Lolth control over a powerful revenant at the cost of permanently draining the priestess' vitality — twice in the past. | |

Dulaque from The Librarians 2014. No beard, but he looks to be 70, and is Lancelot Du Lac. Jenkins fits too, since he's Galahad. This also applies to Judson, before his death, and Charlene, both of whom are much older, being the first Librarian and Guardian, respectively. | |

Ekuar from ElfQuest. He's crippled and looks frail and broken because he was held captive and malnourished for aeons so his body never attained the full physical glory his fellow elves reached. At 8,000 years old, he is one of the eldest living immortal elves still alive, though and what's left of his body still functions as if he were young. Once he has been liberated by Rayek, he turns out to be a powerful Rock Shaper and all-round Old Master who helps Rayek lift himself to new heights. | |
