Re; Star Dragon Sword, Viktor doesn't have it anymore, so really, the point is moot. Besides, you can't separate the FLIKTOR. >D
Immortality as in the bearer stops ageing? Or that they cannot be killed? (I think we know the answer if it's the latter). My first impression would be that the True Runes do grant immortality, but seeing as how Konami are touting the Punishment Rune as a True Rune, (we've seen what happens to the previous bearer of this rune in the previews), this theory is probably negated.
It might also make a difference whether the Rune was attatched directly onto the person (eg, Soul Eater, True Wind, etc), or whether it is attatched to an object, like the Conquerer Rune (in the Encyclopedia, it is specifically stated the Rune was attatched to the sword, and not the sword itself, unlike the Star Dragon Sword). Just my thoughts.
And you know what I think about Riou and Jowy, and their respective Runes already. ^__^

Conclusion; Konami are coy, coy bastards.
