Charlie would likely go back to their campaign variant of the Forgotten Realms setting as a lich, if they ever were convinced to retire (which would be fairly easy with the right negotiator). The Out of the Abyss module they were in would be long over by the time they went back, so no one would remember them, and any stories they told of the strange realms they’ve visited would probably be brushed off as just a funny lich quirk. They’d find a nice little gothic manor to hide out in, fill it with undead servants, and then just sit around entertaining people in nearby towns and having a fun eternity trying to convenience the tavern-goers that they’re a perfectly normal tabaxi bard (and being comically bad at it).
Jiwon would probably just go back to see the family, provided memory wiping can be avoided - losing memories seems a logical fear for an immortal, and Jiwon’s a nervous type by nature. Explaining what the job experience was like after all this time would be an awkward time, though. Also, going off of a Years Hence ficlet I've had on the backburner for a while, Jiwon would also have to explain why she's a she.
And then there’s everyone else I've written for this setting, who’ll probably never voluntarily retire within the century: Ocotillo, Matterhorn, Dr. Glocktopus, Tess, and the Curator, all for a variety of reasons ranging from simple immortality (Glock) to dedication for archiving all - and absolutely all - of the setting’s history (Curator) to just feeling like there’s nothing left for them to go back to and nowhere new to go they’d find purpose (the others).
