What’s one of the worst things that can happen to a gamer? They build up a character—experience, inventory, what have you—and then the game stops being supported and they lose everything. Well, that may be a thing of the past from now on. Immortal Player Characters are game characters built on the blockchain—which means, they’re yours forever.

Immortal Player Characters, or IPCs, are entirely owned by you, the gamer. Rather than be attached to a game, they are attached to the Ethereum (available on Coinbase) blockchain. This means that an IPC could technically live in any game, assuming the game allows it—and that’s exactly what developer Ed Annunziata is hoping to achieve.

Ed Annunziata is the video game developer behind such games as Jurassic Park and Ecco the Dolphin. He’s also the CEO and President of Playchemy, the company behind Immortal Player Characters.

“Your heart is safe with IPCs,” Annunziata told CryptoCurrencyNews.com, “you are safe to put your time and money into them with NO danger of taking them away from you. Like when an online game shuts down. With IPCs, you simply move your character into another game.”

Everything an IPC does, achieves, and owns is coded onto the blockchain where it will exist forever as unchangeable code. Because of this, levels, abilities, and items gained will stay with the character no matter where they go. All IPCs will begin with a basic set of attributes, including Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, and Luck. From there, the rest is up to you. You choose your character’s path, what you want them to be, and as you go, your character will become more valuable.
