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.
