I do RP a couple young characters and a Very Young one (12yo), and often have to see her being hit on and treated like an adult woman just because of what the other sees on the screen (despite me having chosen 0 breast size, smallest height, and very chaste clothing). And it's not that I don't have her act childish, I do, but then I get reactions like "Is she always immature/whiny/excitable like this?" Well, yeah.... she's a kid.I dont get how this relates. You cant make a child character, and arguably lalas dont look like children. It differs from person to person. I know quite a few people who think they look small and cute, but it does not follow they look like a human child. I think there's some resemblance, and I play around that. But its really mostly a height thing. As for character creation, that's off topic. But I will say I'm perfectly fine with not fighting and killing child characters in PvP.
Honestly wish we had more options to import our IC age (whether it be old or young) on our characters. This mid-20s universe is getting dull.

I was just saying that, in relation to the topic, I have the opposite issue as the OP. In other words, it's not just all one way, there is also the other way. What relates is the sentiment on not being able to get the reaction you expect from others for your character, because of how he/she looks.
Also, I'm not saying child/old characters should be allowed to fight. But especially in a game with ONLY-instanced PvP elements, to give us the opportunity to create/glamour child looks on our characters (think of FFXI's child costumes) would be a very great RP element. Simply lock their fighting abilities during "child status" or whatever.
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.
