wouldn't that be true of all non-aging characters? brains continue developing your whole life. so it could get stopped physically at any age.

Yes, but there are other aspects of brain development, IIRC especially the frontal lobe, that "finish" developing to maturity around age 25. That's not to say the brain doesn't keep developing in other, less obvious, ways all your life, but it's not quite the same and it's not quite as rigidly limited as pre-25 brain development. 17 year olds CANNOT, physically, have brains as well developed as a 25 year old (barring developmental delays and disabilities that is). That's not to say a 17 year old's behavior and intelligence can't be more advanced and mature than a 25 year olds in some cases, but their brains are still incomplete in a way 25 year olds' brains aren't, barring disabilities.

I don't know. I would think at least a few immortal characters would keep developing in some way. Their hair still grows and things like that sometimes. I was just thinking about how Stephenie Meyer is very particular about how her vampires are completely biologically frozen.

What you're saying makes sense though.

Wait, so how do they make memories, then? If their brains don't develop because they are biologically frozen, then the hippocampus also wouldn't be able to develop further (it needs to regularly create new neurons) to form memories. Wouldn't they be like people with Alzheimer's then? (Not that I expect you to actually know the answer, but this is now really bothering me.)
