RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - Masaki Moui - 09-16-2015
Since I like to play in a kind of real-time and the game was just beginning for me when I joined 2.0, I set Masaki and some other MQ founders to only be in that young, golden prime of 18. But it's been two years since then so he's having his 'amaga I'm twenty! I'm so old' experience this year. (His nameday was just on the 13th too.) My goal though is to play through the game from young to old and age the characters as the game progresses. I wanted to start with a young, ambitious but still rather inexperienced character and push him along the road of life.
Since that time I've also created a more mature lancer character who is an Elezen and a kind of guest of the lodge. She's somewhere between 30 and 34 without a definitive age yet. But she's the only real character I have in that age range because I want my MQ crew to age with the game. I want to look back in like 10 years and peruse old threads with nostalgia and sometimes laugh at how foolish those 18 year-olds were. Even now I can look back on the 'days before Heavensward' in that way.

When I first started I played much older characters (sometimes 20-30 years older), yet the older I get, the more I seem to want to RP characters on the cusp of adulthood. I don't know why exactly.

I played a 37 year old Elin on Tera, so I decided to play younger characters here. Jana and her sister are 20 and 19 respectively while my undeveloped Au Ra alt is somewhere in her teens.

RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - Marisa - 09-16-2015
14 year old Marisa didn't qualify for the poll
RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - Knight Kat - 09-16-2015
Kiht Jakkya will be 25 in October.
Qara Hotgo is 20.
RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - Vahn Kasch - 09-16-2015
Vahn here is 35. Or so that is what he tells people.
RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - Kou - 09-16-2015
I have two, but they're conveniently in the different age brackets (./sob)
Akino is sitting at a solid 24.
K'washi is 18, soon 19. He's the youngest character I've played in a long time, to be honest.
As I find myself aging, I find it harder to play younger characters. The youngest character I've ever played is... 4? 5? Around there. Cute as hell, but the amount of energy in a 4-5 year old child is hard to replicate when you're 21 and getting beaten to a figurative pulp by Life.
I'm sure I'll start to play characters in their late 20s to 30s soon, if the trend is anything to go by. Unfortunately, I'm the type of roleplayer who can't roleplay things they have no experience with, and research can only get you so far.
RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - Reshie - 09-16-2015
Eresh is 27 and Brannie is 30. Both are fairly young but have some life experiences to back them and their personalities up.
Adelina is actually in her late 40s, probably somewhere around 48 but I haven't picked an exact age yet. She's the oldest of my group as she's gone the farthest in life. One does not rise up through the ranks within a few mere years. She's had to work and build from the ground up which has taken a while but now she gets to enjoy her brothel empire and the rewards that come with it.
RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - Asmodean - 09-16-2015
Asmodean is 26, which given the world didn't feel too old and would be a good medium for an traveler like him. Not so long and monster will confusing him for a lala and not so odd that his ability to defend himself has yet to dull.
RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - Zezeki - 09-16-2015
Zeki is 51.
RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - SM Nick - 09-17-2015
Nicholas is currently 18. I'm that age so it's easy for me to RP as.
RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - mongi291 - 09-17-2015
Isaulde is 27.
RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - Eses Fafa - 09-17-2015
I was quite conflicted when I chose my age, wondering whether I should stick with being a fresh newbie in ARR or having a backstory before the Calamity around 1.0 despite not being around. I chose the latter and I beliiiieeve that this one is around 27/28.
RE: Character Age and Census [Poll] - rainichan - 09-17-2015
Ness and Karima are 17-18.
Rivienne and Lune are 25 (or in Lune's case, 24 or 25 because I haven't really settled on an age whoops)
Caelia is the oldest at 31. I originally had her younger, but aged her up in the end.
