Hey.  Was just chatting with my FC last night and realized Eorzea, least the rp part of it, seems to be inhabited by many, many young people.  But, where are all the older characters to pass own their wisdom and yell at the young to get off their lawns?

 

Thought it be fun to post characters age here and make a sort of census for ages.

 

So, for me, Ki is Mid-Thirties.

 

Yours?

Nahare is 25 years old. She'll be 26 this December, actually. My alt, Lucien, is 30 years old. Usually I prefer my characters to have a sort of middle ground when it comes to age, although I *have* roleplayed teenagers before. I guess it also mostly depends on what kind of personality type I'm trying for and then pairing the age with it so the maturity level makes sense (then again maturity and age doesn't always go hand-in-hand, but you know what I mean).

Graeham's nineteen. After playing a blood elf back in WoW who was essentially middle aged I wanted to play a younger, less seasoned character this time around. He tends to act older than he actually is though - but I suppose that comes with the territory when portraying a diplomat...

Franz falls into a mystery 35-45 range. ICly, he has no idea.

 

OOCly, it depends on if we ever get more details of Garlean activities and culture. Assuming certain things like the fall of Ala Mhigo, I normally treat him as probably late 30s or early 40s. A single tear is shed every time someone calls him an old man.

I'm really bad at keeping track of character timelines and dates and whatnot so I picked 36 or whatever when I rolled her mostly to have a number to run with. Basically she tells people she's late 30s but she could just as easily be in her early 40s as well.

Xheja weighs in at around 33, though for a while she was physically stuck around her mid-twenties. But it's something that she's very self-conscious about, and if asked? Would definitely lie about it.

 

Jaliqai is sliiightly older than that at around 34, give or take. I wanted her to have been a young adult when she lost her tribe, and to have plenty of time since then to have wandered across Othard and then eventually relocate to Eorzea with the rest of the mass exodus. So early-to-mid thirties, it was.

In my head-canon adventuring is a young persons game. Young people tend to not have as many responsibilities or obligations that tie them down, also in your late teens to mid twenties you are likely going to be healthier and more able than at any other point in your life.

 

Not to say an older adventurer is unbelievable of course.
