Immortal Procreation Clause	comment	The fertility of a species is inversely proportional to its lifespan. Thus, as a species approaches immortality, their birth rate approaches zero. In many works of fiction featuring immortality, the immortals in question are sterile or infertile: they cannot have children. Legacy Immortality is both impossible and unnecessary. In many cases, this is an example of Cursed with Awesome, because, along with some STD Immunity, it means that the teen-looking ancient vampire stud can get it on with the ladies as much as he wants without worrying about consequences of any sort, particularly leaving lovers pregnant with a Dhampyr who will eventually grow up and try to kill him. Or at least demand child support. Immortals may have methods of making mortals immortal (vampire bite, Applied Phlebotinum, or the like) and they may come to view those that they bring over into immortality as their own children, teaching them the lessons and how to thrive as an immortal. This, however, is not the same as having natural children. It's more like adoption and a new immortal being Happily Adopted is certainly possible. Sometimes the beings in question are perfectly able to have children, but are not allowed to, by the laws of their society, because allowing immortals to breed will quickly lead to overpopulation. This usage tends to be found in hard Speculative Fiction. Another common twist is to have immortals that are quite fertile/potent but whose children are completely or near-completely mortal. These examples are also included here because they fit in with the theme that unchecked reproduction combined with immortality is unsustainable. This aversion is probably even more tragic, since the immortal will then be forced to watch their children die as they inevitably outlive them all. In a strictly biological sense this trope is fairly logical. Without death, an immortal population would constantly grow, eventually crowding themselves out and depleting their resources. As such, childbirth isn't really a necessity for such a species, since the members rarely need replacement. Assuming that the offspring of immortals mature at the same relative rate as humans, the time and resources required to successfully rear children to adulthood increases exponentially, becoming far too expensive to be sustainable on a large scale. This encourages longer lived intelligent species to reproduce rarely, but invest heavily into their few offspring to give them better chances of survival. With these factors and more, the above formula can (very loosely) apply to any given species. This trope includes extremely Long-Lived characters and species with low birth rates, as they fit on the sliding scale properly. The most common example of this is elves; Tolkienesque elves generally are The Ageless and can have children; their population growth is mitigated by a low birth rate (a typical elf couple can live together for several thousand years and produce only one or two children in all that time), the occasional violent death, and the tendency for older elves to journey across the sea to a mystical land, never to be seen again. Related to Creative Sterility; this is a focus on sexual reproduction. It can result in a Dying Race if the immortals can still be killed. See also Vampire Procreation Limit, which often contains some overlap with this trope.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_169f043b	comment	In novels for StarCraft, the Xel'Naga were incredibly long-lived but couldn't reproduce. Instead, they turned other races into more of them! Technically, what they tried to do was create 2 races: one to have a "perfect form" and one to have a "perfect spirit". After millennia, the two would eventually join to evolve into the next cycle of the Xel'Naga. Unfortunately, someone threw a monkey wrench in the works. Legacy of the Void sheds more light on the situation. The Xel'Naga don't specifically create or modify any race to become their successors. They simply wait until races with the proper qualifications (the purity of form and essence) find their way to them pass on the mantle of Xel'Naga to them. The term Xel'Naga doesn't describe a species — it describes a duty. It doesn't help that the various Protoss tribes killed each other in droves during the Aeon of Strife, only stopping after Savassan (AKA Khas, "He Who Brings Order") used Khaydarin crystals to mentally unify the race.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_1ef6a11b	comment	In Nightrunner, the human wizards live up to 400 years but are also sterile (and most of them are celibate as well, apparently mostly for cultural reasons). This is actually a problem in the setting, as only humans with some degree of aurenfaie blood can have magic powers and the Aurenfaie have been very isolationist for the last few centuries. So the number of wizards is slowly dwindling, and this is becoming a military disadvantage for the main culture in the story. The royal family, who have an Aurenfaie ancestor a few generations back, live about twice as long as pure humans and most of them can reproduce, though. On the other hand, they don't appear to have any magic talents. The Aurenfaie themselves live 300-400 years and are fertile (the family the reader learns most about had at least 4 children before the mother died) but despite occupying a limited territory, they don't appear to have any population problem. This may be because they don't allow a youngster to marry until he or she is well on their way to their 100th birthday, even though they develop a sex drive somewhere around the age of 20.

New Gods from both New Genesis and Apokalypse are immortal but also very infertile due to the genetic tampering of their ancestors, and so far the only known New Gods to have been born recently are the children of Mr. Miracle and Big Barda. Fables are borderline immortal and it's very difficult for them to procreate with each other, although it's significantly easier to do so with non-Fables. Dwarves are very long-lived, as such females only become fertile when they reach their thirties and males take even longer to mature, so The Oldest Profession is seen as an important duty to keep the population and those who indeed procreate are seen with great respect by their peers.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_3ba81aa2	comment	In Toriko, the Heracs are nearly immortal thanks to their extremely powerful Healing Factor. They also have very low birth rates. The Herac species is in decline because they need "AIR" to reach maturity, and the Nitros have been harvesting "AIR" before the Heracs can reach it for a long time. In the present, the only Herac that can reproduce is the Horse King itself. During the course of the AIR arc, a pristine AIR fruit is finally harvested properly at peak ripeness. It has the effect of purifying the entire area, allowing the Horse King to finally birth a healthy foal.

Dallandra discusses the low elven birth rate with Cal and some other elves. It's hypothesized it's not just the length of their lives that restrict their birth rate, it's that part of their diet is meat, and meat-eating animals generally have a comparatively low birth rate. She also compares having children with humans as trading in some of their race's lifespan to have more children. Dwarves are also very long lived. Otho lives at least 400 years. Combined with their legendary stubbornness, it makes it very hard for them to let go of grudges.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: Averted with wizards and other powerful magic users, who are very long-lived (they can be killed, but left to their own devices and otherwise unmolested, they'll go on for centuries) and can reproduce. All seven Carpenter children are the product of at least a sorcerer-level talent and Maggie Dresden is the unexpected daughter of Harry (a full-blown member/wizard of the White Council). Additionally, Harry's mother was canonically over a century when Harry was born, also had another son a mere five years before Harry. However, the woman in question was known as Margaret LeFay for damn good reason, and the Nevernever has odd effects on time, meaning it's not entirely clear what her actual physical age was. While her father was also a wizard (specifically, Ebenezar McCoy) and would have been at least 150 years old when she was born, it's still not entirely clear how wizardly ageing affects fertility in general. Harry also managed to give psychic-birth to a spirit of intellect "fathered" by the psychic coppy of the (female) Fallen Angel Lasciel, although this isn't exactly a normal situation. However, the descendants of wizards/sorcerors are only occasionally gifted, meaning their lifespan is that of a mortal. Of the seven children born to Charity Carpenter, only Molly has shown any magical skill (although she has enough to be considered a true wizard) - however, per Word of God, that's because the parent in question went cold turkey on magic shortly before the magical child's conception, and kept it up ever since, which is indicated to have an effect. Anastasia Luccio (born sometime in the 1800s) laments the fact that she is now a many times great-ancestor, observing her family from afar for the rare magical talents. Senior Council member Martha Liberty is in a similar situation, although she lives with her family. The truly immortal Sidhe are apparently only able to have children with mortals. The child will be born a changeling, and can choose whether to become fully human or fully Sidhe later in life. Since humans have free will and Sidhe don't, it can be a tough choice. Changelings are effectively immortal till this choice is made. While it is unknown exactly how common changelings are, four born in modern times are seen in Summer Knight, suggesting that the numbers could be relatively high.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_49ff762	comment	Captain Jack Harkness, from Torchwood, is another aversion. He's immortal, but can have children. The children, again, are not immortal, thereby preserving the intent of the Clause. Given that he Really Gets Around, he should have lots and lots of children and grandchildren running around if that was the case, not just one family. It makes more sense that the Time Agency routinely sterilised its agents (Would you let people like Jack or John run around in eras without reliable birth control and potentially father their own ancestors?) and that the daughter in season 3 was the result of a 1960s orgy. It's not like Jack is the jealous type who'd refuse to raise the kid as his. The fourth series, Miracle Day, is set to involve a thorough subversion of this trope; humanity mysteriously becomes immortal and one of the immediate problems is an impending overpopulation crisis. Seems a bit fast though: if the average human lifespan on all of earth is say 50 years, than the population would grow with a staggering 2% a year. This trope only a problem in the long term. (Though in its defense, the show mostly shows us overpopulation in hospitals, which would happen far earlier than overpopulation of Earth.) They also quickly state that humans still age normally. Nursing homes would end up being overpopulated fairly quickly too. Abortion also becomes an issue (even more than in Real Life), when it's stated that an aborted fetus would probably still be alive but no longer able to grow outside the uterus.

While they occasionally interbreed with humans, the resulting children are always exiled on adulthood. This small population is only stable because a large number of elves are clones of Potimas and humans he abducted and forcibly evolved into elves. Demons have shorter lives than elves but slow birth rates. Their population has begun to decline in recent years as the birth rates had dropped even further due to near-famine conditions and damage from the System. Most souls in the system are on the brink of soul collapse and thus cannot reincarnate, meaning less children are born. Human birth rates are also declining, but they have a larger initial population which masks the effect.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_56e10d85	comment	In Tolkien's Legendarium, Elves are immortal and only have children infrequently; overpopulation isn't a problem, especially since most of them are leaving Middle-earth by The Lord of the Rings. In the stories set in the earliest time periods, though, there are frequently several generations of a single-family living and ruling together. There is also the implication that having children can be very spiritually draining for elves, and that they get bored with sex over the centuries. In his notes at one point, Tolkien indicated that elves do not have children after a certain age. (So, menopause?) Also, FÃ«anor and Nerdanel had the most children that any elven couple ever had, whereas seven children would be, if anything, low for most fertile human couples if they both lived through the women's child-bearing years in most eras. The Cracked article 6 Horrifying Implications of Awesome Fantasy Movie Universes discusses this: "no one in the Elfish kingdom is getting any, anywhere." Also averted with hobbits, who often have large families despite living longer than humans. Played With: Ents live nearly forever, but all their women disappeared during the huge wars of the past, dooming them to eventual extinction. Meanwhile the Valar and Maiar (gods or angels) don't reproduce at all, the exception being Melian, who married an Elf (and is the ancestress of many important characters). They did have families in earlier drafts, however.

Many near-immortals live throughout the galaxy and reproduce like bunny rabbits, even if they're 20 centuries old. Their children may also be effectively immortal, depending on what genes they picked up and whether they have access to a rejuvenation clinic. They solve the overpopulation problem by continually colonizing new planets. Justified as reproduction was the entire point of the Howard Families. They were an experiment in human longevity that worked spectacularly well. It is worth noting that Tellus Secundus, the planet where the story begins, has an unusually high population of near-immortal "Howards" and in consequence has instigated population controls. The planet's chief executive mentions to Lazarus Long that he'll grant an exception to any woman Lazarus feels like having a child with. Lazarus himself is a special case as, being over two thousand years old and born at the start of the Howard experiment, he can claim over 80 percent of the galactic population and over 99 percent of Howards as his descendants to some degree or another.

Their pregnancies are still long, and they need to wait five years to get pregnant again.note The Book of Erotic Fantasy has it that elven pregnancies last a full two years, which does a number on the mother's body. 3.5 has the elan, a race of psionically enhanced and modified humans who are functionally immortal. They can no longer procreate with humans due to their modifications (they are classified as aberrations, not humanoids), and the only way to make more elan is by modifying an existing human with a mixture of psionics and an alchemical conversion process. The Ecology of the Unicorn in Dragon Magazine #190 states that unicorns are so long-lived that they seem to be nearly immortal, but remain rare because they almost never breed. This is completely averted with dragons, however, which are some of the longest-lived beings in D&D but breed several times over their lives and tend to produce large clutches on each occasion. The only issue with them is that after a certain point in their lives females stop being fertile, and mortality rate is relatively high amongst younger dragons, so they're not overrunning the world. Most fiends are immortal and completely sterile. They replenish their numbers when needed by torturously transforming evil souls that fall into the Lower Planes into more of themselves. Devils and demons powerful enough to have unique forms and identities can become pregnant (if female) or sire children (if male), but they generally don't, because they don't need heirs and certainly don't need competition. They have looser standards when it comes to Half-Human Hybrids, as any fiend can use a good pawn in the Material Plane, and half-fiends aren't likely to become strong enough to be an unnecessary risk.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_6c013d08	comment	The World of Darkness: Old World of Darkness: Most of the various immortal races are like this. Demon: The Fallen: Demons might possess human bodies, but they lack the spark of life to create true progeny. Kindred of the East: only extremely yang-imbalanced kuei-jin can have children (their version of dhampyrs), and that's made increasingly complicated by the fact that a female kuei-jin has to remain yang-imbalanced throughout the pregnancy. Mummy: The Resurrection: The original mummies were sterile too. However, their successors, the ones players control, are fertile and capable of having children — their immortality is the result of the Spell of Life — but these are always mortal humans. Vampire: The Masquerade: Only the weakest 14th or 15th generation vampires can have children, who end up as dhampirs. Not uncommon in the New World of Darkness either: A vampire can only give birth to a dhampir through the use of certain dark rituals and curses. The True Fae of Changeling: The Lost are immortal, all-powerful, and utterly sterile. That is, until you find out that the titular changelings risk becoming True Fae if they hit Wyrd 10 and Clarity 0 — which means their abduction/Mind Rape is the Fae's reproductive cycle. The Dragons of fan gameline Dragon: The Embers made a deal with the Deep Ones for immortality, the price of which was their ability to increase their numbers. Dragons can still have children, but those children will be 100% mortal. The only way for a new Dragon to be created is for a mortal to kill an existing Dragon and devour its Heart.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_6c1234ed	comment	Averted in Dwarf Fortress, with interesting results. Elves mature and reproduce at the same rate as humans, but have no upper limit to their ages. This results in massive populations; they could take over most worlds during generation by sheer dint of numbers if it weren't for two weaknesses: they are poorly armed (having only wooden weapons and armor) and they are cannibalistic maniacs who start wars over the way other species treat plants, resulting in them warring with all of their neighbors. Battles with thousands of elves fighting (and losing to) less than a hundred dwarves are not uncommon.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_6f06e8fc	comment	The elves of Errant Story previously had an extremely low fertility rate, which is part of the reason why taking on human lovers was so popular among them; as Sarine put it, elves could "try for centuries to have an elven child with no success, or they could go fuck a human and have the next best thing." In the wake of the Errant Wars, the elven fertility rate seems to have dropped from "low" to "zero," as the last elven child born is now some 1,500 years old. When Meji finally starts 'talking' with Senilus, one of the things she learns is that the something went wrong when the 'gods' made one of the races; the race would lose the ability to reproduce itself after 427 generations. Since the first two races the 'gods' made weren't able to reproduce, and the last race made by the gods is generally agreed to be the trolls, it is very strongly indicated that the race in question is the elves. But they are still fertile with humans, since errant Meji is only 17, and errants can be very long-lived. The elves originally took advantage of this to increase their population, until one powerful errant mage went mad for some reason and went on a rampage. The elves thought it was an inherent problem with errants and forbade future errant births.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1: The Asgard are not capable of sexual reproduction; they lost the ability due to extensive genetic alteration. To achieve immortality, they upload clone bodies with their memories when their old bodies die. Eventually even this tactic fails. The normal life cycle of Goa'uld includes the spawning of new parasites by extremely rare slug-like queens, with Jaffa specially prepared to incubate the larvae; this almost always happens off-screen. Procreation between two Goa'uld hosts is forbidden. The resulting child is very dangerous; thus the practice is proscribed. Such a child, known as a Harcesis, would be born with all the genetic memories of the Goa'uld. Exactly why this would be a bad thing for the Goa'uld is never spelled out but it's probably to prevent Goa'uld secrets from falling into the hands of enemies like the Tokra or the Asgard. In the episode "2010", the Aschen weaponize this trope. After making contact with Earth, they offer a treatment that cures all diseases and drastically (though not infinitely) extends human lifetimes. After everybody on the planet gets the treatment, SG-1 finds out that it has a component not in the original formula; it causes sterility and will lead to the extinction of 90% of humanity. This is their civilization's way of taking over planets without a fight, just a bit of patience. Fortunately, the main characters are able to cook up some time-travel gimmick to warn their past selves to not allow this to happen.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_708ae58b	comment	Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures: Cubi Clans are led by a Tri-winged Succubus or Incubus, who are as close to immortal as one can get with a an ungodly long lifespan and are so powerful very few dare to challenge them. The catch is they cannot have children of their own, and while it is possible to convert non-blood relatives to their clan there must be at least one fertile member of the clan alive who has had a child with the prospective member. The character Fa'lina shows how this can be bad, being a clan leader and being the last surviving member of said clan. In addition to Cubi, no new members of the Fae race may be born until living members willingly and deliberately die. They can have children with anything, but, well... The problem is that the fae race has only so many souls to go around, and nothing can be done to increase that number. That's why a fae has to die before a new one can be born — the dying fae's soul is reincarnated in the newborn fae. Destania's clan leader Cyra is in a similar boat as Fa'lina. Destania is her last surviving "child" and she can't even speak with her anymore since Destania has given up dreaming — and Cyra mostly communicates in dreams. So she's absolutely thrilled when she gets the chance to speak with her "grandson" Dan. Most of the other Long-Lived races such as Demons don't seem to have this problem. Overpopulation isn't an issue since Furrae is dangerous enough that most people, Beings and Creatures alike, do not live to die of old age anyway. The Angels' birthrate has been waning in recent years for some reason, and they are very worried about becoming a Dying Race.

Damon shoots this down and says that if Katherine had any children, it was before she became a vampire. Although Klaus, the Original Hybrid, can have children thanks to a loophole. In matters of procreation, his werewolf side trumps the vampire side. His daughter Hope is a tribrid (vampire, witch, and werewolf) and it's assumed she has the same loophole.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_72f3e556	comment	Arrivals from the Dark: Paul Richard Corcoran, being a Half-Human Hybrid, and his descendants have unnaturally long lifespans (150-200 years). However, this also means they are highly unlikely to have children until they are well in their 40s or even 50s. This could indicate a slower rate of maturity. However, once able to have children, they usually have at least 2. One is noted to have 3 children of her own and then adopting 3 more (keeping a promise she makes at one point). One of the advantages the humans have over the Faata is their numbers and reproductive ability. Despite centuries of genetic engineering, the Faata still haven't figured out how to grow their race at a rate even approaching that of the humans. It also doesn't help that they deliberately engineer their lower castes to have a lifespan measuring only a few years, further reducing their population growth, despite the fact that they have a whole caste of breeders who are artificially inseminated and whose gestation is accelerated to a matter of weeks. This also applies to the Metamorphs, whose lifespans are measured in millennia. Being a One-Gender Race, they reproduce by having several individuals fertilize one of them, which starts the budding process. It's mentioned by the Exile that his parent may or may not have another child, as births are a very rare occurrence for them.

They were a species of walking tanks that gave birth in litters of over a thousand, and are presumed to be The Ageless. However, while their Death World homeworld kept their numbers in check, once they were colonizing more pastoral worlds, their population exploded in a single generation. To stop the Krogan Rebellions, the entire species was infected with a virus that devastates their birth rate (1 out of 1000 is live, the rest are stillborn). Even with the high mortality rate, they'd still be capable of maintaining a population equilibrium if not for the species wide fatalism that followed the genophage (kind of hard to keep your chin up when your contemporaries annihilate a fundamental aspect of your biology and society). The asari, who live for one thousand years, don't seem to have a problem with this trope. They happily breed all they want to. On the other hand, in order to become pregnant, the asari has to be consciously trying to become pregnant. They can have sex all they want and only reproduce when they have a desire to. The asari are a race of Blue Skinned Space Babes, which probably rejiggers their place on the immortality vs. fertility continuum. Most of the time, the asari don't choose to procreate until they pass their 300th birthday and become Matrons, and generally don't have that many children in their whole lifetime; nearly 1000-year old Matriarch Benezia only has one daughter, for example. Aethyta, who's as old, is implied to have had a good number, but her father was a krogan.

This has lead to them becoming very afraid of death. Justified for the Mahjarrat; creating children costs them massive amounts of their difficult-to-replenish divine Life Energy. This ultimately lead to the extinction of the other two tribes of their race as they were no longer receiving enough Life Energy from The Maker that made them. Also, there's only one (pure) female still alive, and she's rejected all suitors. The vampyres avert this trope with severe consequences — they've overpopulated Morytania and are running out of prey. The elves live so long that one of them loses track of entire centuries, but elf children can be seen prancing around Lletya and Prifddinas, so clearly fertility isn't a problem.

On the extreme end, there are the wholly immortal (of a resurrective variety) angels, whose number is fixed and who are entirely sterile. The majority of Servant species can live forever unless killed, and seem to vary between fairly low fertility, and something that is about normal for humans. Then there are goblins, a species of Servant that was created to fulfil a task that would have a high mortality rate, meaning that they reproduce at an extremely high rate; since they no longer do that job, they greatly outnumber virtually every other race in the multiverse, meaning that their clans are very well represented amongst the businesses and criminal enterprises that run everything. Results vary for the Demiurges ruling over this mess; Jadis is sealed in a stone slab and suicidal, so analog reproduction is out the window. Solomon has thousands, if not millions, of mortal sons who have been general disappointments, while Gog-Agog is a sentient colony of worms so she has a tide of her 'babies' infesting various minions across the multiverse, but all of them can be classified as 'limbs', 'toys', or 'food'. The rest have no descendants or heirs of note.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_9d34190a	comment	In The Elder Scrolls, the Races of Mer (Elves) are much Longer Lived than their counterparts in the Races of Men. (Exactly how much longer they live is inconsistent throughout the lore, and usually Hand Waved when brought up, but there are plenty of (non-magically enhanced) examples living 200, 300, or even 500 years without it being seen as too unusual.) However, the races of Mer are also implied to have far fewer children as a result, with some sources even indicating that there may be a "cap" on the amount of children a Mer woman can have in her lifetime (with few ever having more than three). Additionally, their chances of having children are higher if they take a non-Mer lover. (For example, the Bretons are a race of Mer/Man hybrids who eventually outbred both of their parent races in the region of High Rock. Due to the Uneven Hybrid nature of inter-species offspring in the ES universe, the Bretons are still far more Man than Mer.) This is stated to have caused a major problem for the Falmer (Snow Elves) back in the 1st Era, since they did not breed as much as the invading Atmorans/Nords did. This caused peace to break down and the result was that the Falmer were driven to extinction or horribly mutated, bar a few hundred individuals that did indeed survive at a remote outpost.

However, they are incapable of reproducing with female humans and are reliant on the virus to create more of their kind, since no female vampire was ever created for them to reproduce naturally.

The Big Bad is a vampire scientist that went insane while experimenting and being infected with the virus, making them indirectly responsible for the movie's events.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_a5549ed0	comment	Averted in The Bible. Before The Flood, people could live centuries, and were stated to have children, some of them had lots of them. But that is not immortal, although it is similar in principle. After the resurrection, Jesus states people will not marry anymore, therefore implying having children will be ended too, although they live forever. However, the Old Testament does state that one of God's first words to a newly-created humanity is "Be fertile and increase", as well as that He gave Eve the curse of having "pain in childbirth" after the fall rather than having to have children period to continue the human race, possibly implying that procreation was always a part of God's plan for humanity. Ultimately, either interpretation is valid. In the New Testament, in Jesus' answer to the Sadducees' question of whose wife a woman would be of the seven brothers that married her and left her childless when the resurrection takes place, He implies that all who are resurrected will be celibate and thus will not be able to or even would need to have children, for "they will neither marry nor be given in marriage, but will be like the angels in heaven." Also played with regarding God, who is both eternal and immortal, and exists as a Trinity, which includes a Father and a Son.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: The fluff and lore about Space Marines and whether or not they can even sire children, much less raise them, is very vague and ill-defined, but given the massive physiological changes a baseline human goes through to become an Astartes, along with his psychological conditioning and the simple fact of Marines being created specifically as soldiers, it's very unlikely that any would have kids. The Eldar combine a low birth rate with a natural aversion towards any sort of extreme emotion (an Eldar having sex is practically begging to get his soul sucked out by Slaanesh), to the point where their population is likely just below sustainability levels. It's also stated that Eldar pregnancies are long and complicated exactly due to them being such a highly-developed species that can afford little in the way of mistakes, which makes things only worse. This probably has something to do with the fact that they were originally created by the Old Ones to fight the Necrons and reproducing naturally wasn't high on their priority list. Played with by the Dark Eldar. They can indeed reproduce, but the majority of Dark Eldar are vat-grown clones (which serve as mooks in combat or spare bodies in experiments) which are only sub-par (allegedly) in combat skill but otherwise differ little from actual Dark Eldar. Dark Eldar feed on pain and uses this to extend their lifespans. Asdrubael Vect, Archon of the largest Dark Eldar Cabal, is currently the oldest living being in the universe, bar the Chaos Gods and Necrons. Having natural "True-born" children is a privilege reserved for the upper-echelons of Dark Eldar society. The Necrons gained immortality by being transformed into robots, which obviously presents a rather insurmountable obstacle to reproduction. In fact their (active) population is not particularly high, yet can war with other races with little issue because any "killed" Necrons are immediately teleported back to their base and repaired by automated systems. In early editions, the God-Emperor had fathered quite a few children in his 39,000 years. Known as the Sensei, they were also immortals with psychic powers, and were hunted down by the Inquisition either to make more psyk-out weapons or to sacrifice them to jump-start the Emperor. The Orks, by contrast, are an object lesson in the disastrous effects of averting this trope. Orks don't die of old age and are constantly shedding spores to grow more Orks and related organisms. As a result they are the most populous race in the entire galaxy and an ever present threat to humanity and the other races. The only reason they haven't conquered the universe yet is their infamous compulsion to immediately start fighting each other the minute they run out of enemies.

"Half-Immortals" (called "elves" in the series jargon), the offspring of an Immortal and an ordinary human, are confirmed to be sterile. No word on what happens if two Immortals attempt procreation. It's later confirmed that elves are not, in fact, sterile, though they are less likely to become pregnant or get someone else pregnant than a normal human. The sterility is deliberate misinformation the Immortals pass on to their reset selves, in part so they can avoid attachments to extended families after resetting. Jerry's reset version only knows this at all because Jerry wanted him to be a responsible successor, and Pandora only learned the truth relatively recently herself, with it being confirmed that Susan and Diane are descended from Raven.

Played with in Dark Elves and Drow, in that they are The Agelessnote Something Word of God has said is technically not true in that they have a finite lifespan of somewhere over 1000, but almost none of them survive long enough to reach this but some, including Ash'waren and Zala'ess, are known for their extremely large families, but they tend to be the outliers on the far end of the scale. Meanwhile Diva'ratrika Val'Sharen is over a thousand and has only had five (surviving) daughters and one son, which the suggestion that politics has played a role in this. Meanwhile, during a 15 year timeskip, Mel'arnach has three children, which suggests fae are able to have multiple kids within a short amount of time with relatively little trouble, and drow in particular elevate motherhood to a sacred level, with one character's losing her ability to have more children playing a critical role in her motivations and actions. The Crapsack World nature of the environment means that despite people having lots of kids the population has stayed relatively stable due to the high chance of death.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: Invoked by Tzeentch. The ancient race of Dragon Ogres asked the Lord of Change for a boon, to make them immortal. He did, but also rendered them sterile. Most of the still-living Dragon Ogres consider this to be Tzeench's idea of a joke. The Slann, the rulers of the Lizardmen, do not seem to be able to die of old age (the oldest are old enough to remember the Old Ones), but there have been no new spawnings of Slann since the disappearance of the Old Ones some eight thousand years before the present day. None of the Lizardmen species in Warhammer breeds in a sexual manner, their eggs simply come into being in magical spawning pools deep in the Lustrian jungles — each new spawning occurring according to the (now much fragmented) plan of the Old Ones. But the Old Ones didn't plan on needing more than five generations of Slann, and there is nothing the Slann themselves can do to increase their numbers, so they are now a dying race, and the loss of even one is an incalculable blow (See Warhammer: Lizardmen (2013), p. 31). Elves can live for thousands of years, but produce so few children that they are slowly declining and dying out. Warhammer's Dwarfs live for hundreds of years, and seem to breed at far below replacement levels as well. Meanwhile short-lived humans breed at human-normal rates and the rat-like Skaven, the vast majority of whom never live past twenty, breed in huge numbers like the swarms of vermin they are. The Undead, including Vampires, are completely unable to reproduce. Except by raising more corpses with magic.

Souma considers this in volume 6 when he propositions his second fiancee Aisha, a dark elf, noting in his Internal Monologue that her infertility compared to his Top Wife Liscia would mean there's little risk of Aisha getting pregnant ahead of Liscia and fouling up the order of succession, though Aisha turns him down anyway out of respect for Liscia.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_c3d129cd	comment	Pure-Blooded Devils in High School DÃ—D are implied to have 10,000 year lifespans, and proportionately low fertility. After the Great Offscreen War caused a severe depopulation, with the 72 former great houses being reduced to three and remnants, this has become a serious problem. As of the start of the series, even high-ranking devils of the remaining noble houses are recruiting from humans they personally reincarnate, just to get their numbers back up and stabilize the population. Things have gotten so desperate for the devils that it's stated point-blank (in the novels, at least) that Fantastic Racism has been marginalized by how dire the situation is, and the proudest pure-blooded houses consider blood purity secondary to just surviving. The few who strictly stick to creating pure-blooded peerages are considered shortsighted and selfish by most of the population. On the other hand, Starter Villain Riser is able to strongarm the entire Gremory house into giving him Rias in an arranged marriage none of them support just by saying it's to preserve the Pure Devil race.note His exact motivations vary by adaption; in the original Light Novel, he did want the marriage for the purity and pride of the race and being married to drop-dead-gorgeous Rias was just a bonus, in the anime it's the other way around.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Celestia and Luna seem to follow this trope. Their personal lack of children could just be because they've never had mates, but they have both lived at least a thousand years, possibly much longer, and their only onscreen relatives are a niece and a nephew (and presumably their offscreen relatives). The existence of Age spells only accessible to really powerful unicorns further complicates things, as their immortality may not even be natural. Said niece and nephew aren't even blood relatives. As far as we know, the sisters have no other living relatives. The Journal of the Two Sisters implies that natural alicorns, as opposed to ponies changed via magic, are apparently a very rare and Long-Lived pony race. Dragons are capable of producing offspring, though the rate at which they do is not established and one can assume they follow the rule of longetivity as most dragons do.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: Time Lords can live for millennia. Though the TV show never mentions it, this trope is fully in play in the Doctor Who Expanded Universe: the whole species has been infertile for hundreds of thousands of years, and reproduces artificially through "Looms". The only reason they are infertile is because the original leader (who was overthrown as a result of a revolution), placed a curse on them that took thousands of years to remove. Odds are that they reproduce like normal humans do, but now have gotten so used to the looms that they have stopped sexually reproducing. There's also a case of Depending on the Writer; sometimes the explanation is that Time Lords aren't a race at all, but rather a modified caste of the long-lived but mortal Gallifreyan people who have families perfectly normally.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_c4b82575	comment	In the Underworld (2003) films, the immortal father of the vampire and lycan bloodlines seems to have stopped reproducing after his original three sons. At least, there's no indication that any other Corvinus bloodline existed for Lucien's agents to hunt down. Considering that Alexander Corvinus has spent much of his immortal life "cleaning up" after vampires and lycans, keeping the existence of immortals secret, it's also possible he could have had other children in secret. Given how old he is, it could very well be that a good number of people are his descendants and don't know it (it's also made clear that not every descendant carries an inactive form of the immortality virus). Also, the Vampire Elder Viktor seems to have only reproduced once. There doesn't seem to be any reason for it other than the fact that, being immortal, he doesn't really have to worry about a silly thing like an heir. Its shown that vampires are actually capable to reproducing naturally with several being established to be born naturally such as David and Lena. They are even capable of breeding with lycans and producing hybrid children such as Selene (vampire/Immortal hybrid) and Michael (half-Lycan/half-vampire hybrid) giving birth to tri-blooded hybrid Eve.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_d1fbfbbc	comment	Twilight Vampires were believed to be infertile, but it turns out that this only applies to the females. Male vampires can impregnate human women (though it will always be fatal to the latter unless they are turned into vampires), and their children inherit both of their parents' traits; they are immortal and strong, but they can subsist on human food and generally resemble their mothers in look (for instance, Renesmee has Bella's brown eyes, rather than Edward's gold ones). Stephenie Meyer has been mum on whether human-vampire hybrids can procreate, though. The vampire procreation rule applies more or less to werewolves (though they only get immortal if they are in their wolf phase). Female werewolves like Leah Clearwater become menopausal after they awaken their powers, while male werewolves can still have children, a fact which is publicly known because of imprinting. It's stated that all current werewolves in the Quileute tribe are descended from three people, all of whom were also werewolves.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_d9db5c77	comment	Mercy Thompson: The werewolves don't age (and if they were old when they were turned, they'll revert to looking adult, but permanently young and fit). Male werewolves can have children with ordinary women, but they'll be born mortal, and there's a high risk of miscarriage. Female werewolves can get pregnant, but inevitably miscarry when they change, which they must do at full moon. The only exception is Charles, the son of the Marrok, who is the offspring of two werewolves and was born one; his Native American mother used magic to hold off the change, but the effort depleted her strength, and she died in childbirth. It's often a plot point that older werewolves often become unstable because they have outlived too many partners and children — in the Briggs 'verse it's dangerous to try to become a werewolf, as you have to be savaged to the point of death and not many survive the process, so they can't automatically turn their wives and children. Vampires seem not to reproduce in the usual way as they're not so much immortal as undead; they're dead during the day. They remain the same age as when they were turned. However, many of them assume a parental responsibility for new vampires that they have turned, and a vampire seethe acts very much like a big dysfunctional mafia family. Fae, on the other hand, can have children with mortals or with each other, and how "immortal" the children are seems to vary. There are lots of different kinds of fae and not very many of them in total.

While it's possible for a species to start with both "Enduring" and "Quick Breeders," you'll have to take at least one negative trait and forego any other positive benefits you could have instead, so most players pick one or the other (or neither) and hope to fix the weaker trait later through genetic engineering. Played straighter, the Necroids species pack introduces the Necrophage origin, which gives a species increased lifespan but also significantly reduces reproduction speed. This encourages using a Necrophage species' other unique trait to convert other species into more of yours to keep your economy from falling behind.

Negi himself, due to his transformation into a demon through Magia Erebea, will stop aging "soon". He might still grow up for a few years, or be stuck with the same fate as Evangeline. Setsuna quickly starts to think about how it will be practically impossible for him to father any children like that. According to the Stealth Sequel series UQ Holder! Negi was indeed incapable of having children. Someone decided to try to "clone" him to ensure his powers would be passed on somehow, and Negi's "grandson" Touta Konoe apparently resulted from that program. The finale of the series shows that Negi gave up his immortality and as a result was able to have children with many of his admirers.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_e9c86bc7	comment	The Enchanters in At Arm's Length are fully capable of having children at any time, but social norms tend to prevent this. Also, the biological clock normally doesn't start ticking until a few millennia, eliminating the desire to have children for quite a while. Enchanters who have children while they're still relatively young, or have more then one, are typically frowned upon.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_eed321b1	comment	Ars Magica has the Longevity Ritual, which can greatly extend a mage's lifespan and weaken the ill effects of aging. The problem is that it does so by concentrating a mage's life force and preventing it from being expended. As such, a mage who uses any variant of the ritual becomes permanently sterile. (There are a handful of exceptions, but they don't work quite as well and their owners tend to be very iffy on lending them out.)

The True Fae of Changeling: The Lost are immortal, all-powerful, and utterly sterile. That is, until you find out that the titular changelings risk becoming True Fae if they hit Wyrd 10 and Clarity 0 — which means their abduction/Mind Rape is the Fae's reproductive cycle. The Dragons of fan gameline Dragon: The Embers made a deal with the Deep Ones for immortality, the price of which was their ability to increase their numbers. Dragons can still have children, but those children will be 100% mortal. The only way for a new Dragon to be created is for a mortal to kill an existing Dragon and devour its Heart.

However, they realized too late that this had reduced their ability to reproduce. The remaining Chozo dedicated themselves helping galactic civilization prosper as a means of leaving behind a legacy while facing inevitable extinction. Given that part of the legacy was their adopted daughter Samus Aran, one can only say they succeeded wildly.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_f163bd9f	comment	Most elves of ElfQuest can only breed after a "recognition" (which is the instincts or 'lizard brain' of two elves deciding the two are genetically very compatible, and forcing them to conceive a child). One of the stories set before the Original Quest mentions that the tribe's Healer tried, and was in one case successful, to break that limitation, because there were worries the tribe was too small. And later on Leetah managed to induce Recognition for Nightfall and Redlance. One tribe of elves had no children for millennia, partly because of stagnation (they were hiding from the world in a "fortress" and would not outgrow it). On the flip side, the Wolfriders have wolf blood, which may make them more fertile (they're definitely not immortal anymore especially compared to the other tribes); a past chief, Two-Spear, was born to his father's lifemate, not his Recognized mate.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_f22d4818	comment	The Shadowhunter Chronicles: Vampires are immortal and sterile. All vampires are humans infected with vampiric blood (this is in contrast to werewolves, who can be born in addition to turned). Warlocks are much like vampires in that they will live forever if nobody kills them but are unable to breed. The only exception is Tessa Gray, because her mother is a Shadowhunter, which negates her demonic blood and allows her to procreate, but her children are mortals and therefore always predecease her. Tessa technically can have as many children as she wants, but, for understandable reasons, she has only given birth to three so far. Averted with faeries. They are immortal and can have children as many times as they want. The Unseelie King has lived for thousands of years, has hundreds of children, and is still a young Bishōnen.

They use a simulation to show Shimoda why in an unaging species, population growth tends towards zero, either because no aging means only the weak offspring are eaten by predators, or because overpopulation leads to starvation from limited resources (and lack of genetic diversity leaves them all vulnerable to the same disease). They do show several examples of functionally immortal animals, like lobsters and jellyfish, both of which are frequently eaten by predators (or Jupiter).

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_f89f466d	comment	The fourth series, Miracle Day, is set to involve a thorough subversion of this trope; humanity mysteriously becomes immortal and one of the immediate problems is an impending overpopulation crisis. Seems a bit fast though: if the average human lifespan on all of earth is say 50 years, than the population would grow with a staggering 2% a year. This trope only a problem in the long term. (Though in its defense, the show mostly shows us overpopulation in hospitals, which would happen far earlier than overpopulation of Earth.) They also quickly state that humans still age normally. Nursing homes would end up being overpopulated fairly quickly too. Abortion also becomes an issue (even more than in Real Life), when it's stated that an aborted fetus would probably still be alive but no longer able to grow outside the uterus.

Immortal Procreation Clause / int_fe225cd4	comment	The Chronicles of Amber: As the books themselves comment on, the immortal lords of multiverse have been around for millennia but are not particularly fertile: the first book is Nine Princes in Amber, not Nine Hundred Thousand Princes in Amber. That said, several bastard or otherwise secret children of the Princes come up in the first series, and the sequel series features more of these children, as well as some secret children of King Oberon. There are also references to several older princes who died "For the good of Amber" after becoming too ambitious or otherwise falling out with their father Oberon, which also helped in keeping the number of princes and princesses to a minimum. This trope is fairly well averted for the Courts of Chaos; they're just as immortal as the Amberites, and while there are fewer of them than you'd expect with their lifespan, there are far more than their counterparts in Amber. It's stated that perhaps hundreds of assassinations and suspicious deaths were required to move Merlin in line for the throne.
