John Doe as an amnesiac Immortal. Immortals, especially old ones, tend to know a lot of languages and know a lot of things, and it's fanon at least that Immortals have photographic memories so that's a reason he'd remember it all even though it's random crap. I'd like to do Methos, but it would be so bad if he actually put himself on TV like John Doe did in canon; well, it would be for any Immortal, but especially for Methos. But an older Immortal, especially Methos, if he did start to recover memories they wouldn't make sense, and I get the sense that Methos is a lot more dedicated to playing characters who are completely different from each other and ignoring his own personal likes and dislikes so they're not ingrained in him- like that one I read about how he doesn't really have a personality anymore, but a series of long-running habits? And if it's Methos Cassandra can track him down, which would be fun, but if he's on TV/in the newspapers Mac will find him unless he's out of contact.
And then he consults on a case with a sword, and he picks it up and it feels so right and his posture changes automatically, and he either gets very confused and excited by the clue to his past (which is totally unhelpful) or he gets his memory back- in which case it might amuse him to stay John Doe for a while.
All ideas are free for the taking.
