I'm not sure what to do about Vincent's age now. I've always RPd him to have just barely turned 18 years old, and to be new to the "harsh life" as an adult and outside of the safe house walls. Claiming to be 18 always made it so that other RPers treaded him as a kid still, and I liked that. It's what I want for him.
But the latest lore interview revealed that Elezen have longer life spans, and that their different ages last longer. So to be a 18 years elezen I'd likely have to look like a RL 10 years old kid, which I can't...
So, to physically look like a 18 years old, IC he should be older... maybe in his twenties? And even then, they did not explain how fast elezen's minds age. Would a 10-yo-looking Elezen have the maturity of a 18-yo person? Or would their maturity come slower than ours does? Also, I am afraid that if I start to say I am in my mid-twenties, people will start treating me like an adult, which I don't want...
I'm really conflicted about all this.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
