Whilst we have the heights and weights near enough down, thought I'd throw in my two gil on the matter of ageing (bare in mind this is completely personal opinion/speculation given their physical traits, I cannot source a... Well... Source):
- Infant Roegadyn are likely born the same size as the average Hyur infant, I don't think I will need to explain the female anatomy to explain this. With this taken in to account and looking at the overall height Roegadyn achieve on average (around 7 feet or more), it would be fair to presume that the race in general would grow at an accelerated rate. Perhaps reaching their adult height by about their fourteenth - seventeenth year?
- There are youthful Roegadyn known to have completely white hair, so it is likely that silvering of hair is not a trait of ageing with the Sea Wolves (note I said Sea Wolves, for I have not yet seen a youthful Hellsguard with grey hair. As such, it's completely plausible this might not count for our redder skinned brethren).
- Ageing seems to mainly take effect on the Roegadyn through means of flesh and wrinkles. You can see this in the Roegadyn male character creation screen where at least two of the four faces look more "mature". It may also be possible that the individual's complexion may begin to lack luster as they age, becoming more chalky grey, etc.
- Given the physiology of the race, Roegadyn are most like the Causasian human bone structure than any other (ignoring their faces. Last I checked, no humans have dog-like noses...). Taking this in to account, it is likely that in their elder years their shoulders will contract, pushing their neck forward and giving them a slight hunch.
- I would imagine the actual bones of the Roegadyn wouldn't get that much weaker in old age like humans, due to the considerable weight they would still have to haul around. However, in heavyset builds it is not uncommon to see things such as arthritis develop in later years. As such, whilst your elderly Roegadyn might not have weak bones, it would be plausible to have them have joint issues. Of course any internal organ issues, like with all other races, are completely plausible dependant upon the life your character has lead.
Again, all of this is pure speculation. I am merely using my knowledge of anatomy and physiology to make these estimations. Please don't shoot me if they are wrong.
