You're HOW old?!

[lonnarin]

Just got curious looking at the in Game Time Link and crunched the numbers according to the basic formula, Starting Age + (Current Date - Character Approval Date) using the in game time converter link... Layonara Time Converter

Egads!

Bjornigar Ironguts: Was already pretty old at 132 years in the submission, is now 187. Not too bad for a dwarf.

Farros Galdor: started at the age of 23. Now he's rather venerable at the ripe old age of 82!

Earl Frogstomper: started at the age of 38, now approaching 70! For such an old geezerly human, he's got pretty big muscles. I don't think he can even count that high, so in his heart he'll always be a 14 year old boy, hahah.

Kor Gromak: an old wrinkled orc now pushing 53. All those years in exhile and regenerating his backbone have been good to him.

Grovel Foaming Wolf: 30 year old goblin druid. Not bad at all, but I've only had him for less than a year and 12 years went by in that time.

Kahzrag Gloom: my newbie little dark dwarf started a little over a month ago is a mere babe in comparison to all of these (in dwarf year at least) at 52. That's still about 18 in human years.


Pretty fun stuff. Curious to see how old some of your characters are? Click the link above and dig up those old character submission threads, heheh.

Of course nobody feel pressured to retire on age alone... from the first mention of Bloodstone in the timeline to the day of his death (-825 to 1402) a good 2227 years had passed.

[Blackguy]

Lin'da started at 120, is now 197.

[Stephen_Zuckerman]

1390-1435... 45 years. At eighteen when he started, that puts Pyyran at sixty-three.

[Acacea]

Remember that there are decent IC reasons to stave off retiring characters for those that absolutely can't stand it... we can't pretend that they are in fact 29 forever, but explanations exist as to why they are not bed ridden Stretched ones, but at least something to fall back on!

Acacea is about 72, give or take a few as she doesn't know exactly how old she was when she was adopted, hehe. Not really a huge issue for a halfling unless she gains 80 pounds and galleonesque hips upon hitting the century mark.

[ShiffDrgnhrt]

Shiff is 41 I think? He's still got some years left to kick but and take over... er... something

[Stephen_Zuckerman]

Hey, Pyyran's rocking the old-man kick. Between the Bindstones and the MASSIVE amounts of divine healing that have been pumped through him, his body has another good forty or fifty years left in it, and half that at adventuring strength.

His soul, on the other hand, doesn't have much left to hold it to Layo.

[jrizz]

It is all the healing potions they drink that keeps them young.

Wren start age 100 (young start age for a elf) now 141. Still young and handsome LOL

[Stephen_Zuckerman]

Heh, mine was more of a High Priest of a deity pumping every bit of divine energy he could channel into him, but, y'know. Same thing.

[LightlyFrosted]

As Tim would say: "Five hundred and something. Wanna make something of it?"

[lonnarin]

Well, I'd certainly suspect regeneration and healing magic to be a big part of it. The only reason we even age is that our body cells slow down regenerating. Throwing magic into the mix and an occasional curing of disease would effectively boilster your immune system and put some pep in your mitosis cycles. All that cartilidge would grow back into place, an excellent cure for arthritis!

Of course with all the hundreds upon thousands of NPC monster deaths we go through just before level 10, maybe we're getting a wee bit of windfall from Soul Mother for sending her so many tastey Souls. Every goblin tribe vanquished is like sending her a box of chocolates. :P

[Lareth]

Ahh.. but sadly all that good healing magic is probably undone by our addicition to haste spells and the like... can't imagine they do the body much good at all.

[Marswipp]

Carr is about 67. He's been running about for half a century.

For me to calculate Kenelm's I'd need his file's creation date. All I know is that he's over 20.

[Stephen_Zuckerman]

I figure I created my characters not too long after approval - in Pyyran's case, maybe an hour or two. So check the timestamp!

[Nehetsrev]

Lyle Underroot (Halfling) - 66 - born 3 Seplar, 1368
Treana Min Poetr (Human) - 55 - born 5 Janra, 1380
Emwonk T'noduoy (Halfling) - 84 - born 23 Mar, 1350
Dradnats Lausu (Human) - 35 - born 19 Seplar, 1399
Lairillia (Darkelf) - 134 - born 4 Novlar, 1300
Melanna Jin'Daern (Human) - 24 - born 2 Junar, 1387 - deceased 8 Mai, 1412 (she died less than a month before her 25th birthday)

Current Layonara date at time of posting: Janra 14, 1435

[RouterBlade]

Brue is around 150 or so

[Pibemanden]

Storold started at age 21, he is now about 71, not sure about his precice birthday since I never set one.

[Chongo]

Interestingly enough....

Both Ketil and Abiorn are now 90.



Must be my circadian rhythm on application ages.

[Hellblazer]

Rain is now 63
Lex is is now 56
Brian is now 39
Sil'via Serissa (also would give the age of Elgon and Ayana In'Darsus since they are triplets) is now 28

[Honora]

Yipes - Corba is 72! Holy smokes. Guess it's a good thing she's mostly retired.

Honora is 56, still able to get out there I guess.

[Weeblie]

Alleina was created as 97 and now has progressed to a full 130.

Years really don't touch elves...

[akata]

Angela started as 18 and is now 64.. hmm guess she have to steal Storolds walking cane

[Dorganath]

Connor started at 21 and is now 82-ish, though as a half-elf, he's still relatively young.

[miltonyorkcastle]

Steel started at 18 and now he's 59. Goodness. Since his life-span isn't entirely defined, I've always RPed him as not having physically changed a whole lot since he was in his twenties.

[jan]

Barion was created around 5th off January 2005 .

That makes him 84 now since he was created as a 32 year old , no wonder he's getting slower but luckily his intelligence is high enough to prevent his memory from going weak

[Pibemanden]

BAH, no stealing the protectors holy walking cane! :P

A little addition to Storolds age info;

Ethan Alexander Doesscha and Jonnathan Tristen Doesscha(Twins); 17 years

Sarrah Doesscha; 15 years

Unknow(son) Doesscha; 10 years(I think, don't have an exact date here. And to all OOC speculators this is a child of Mylindra and Storold not some child Storold has with someone else)

[Grid Blader]

I dont think I did this right... 1382 to 1485.. 103 and was 18 when made does that make Quantum old?

[Pibemanden]

The current year is 1435 not 1485 so Quantum would be 71 years now

[ycleption]

I started playing Drexia in 1410, and she was 125 (I was told 120 was the minimum age, and 5^3 seemed a more meaningful age), so she's 150 now, and still views herself as being very young.

Pallena started when she was 26, in 1413, which means she's 49... I still play her as a mid to late 20s character, just can't wrap my head around time passing that quickly, just not enough ooc time to RP changing that much.
And well, I know it doesn't exist in Layo, and she's not close to being the level for it even if it did, but I still pretend she has this and figure a resourceful druid has to have figured out -some- way to stay looking young.

[Black Cat]

Xan (human) was 24 when he left the Watch of Port Hempstead... he is now 62
Allean (half-elves) left the woods at 25 and is back in them at 64 now (helping Wayfare from time to time though)
Grohin (do I need to tell ) was 70 when he had to leave his clan home and is now 97
Oma (Witch... err Human) left her farm at 57 and has had a lot of fun for 18 years now. So she is 75.. all her teeth and still kicking... and drinking too .

[lonnarin]

Of course, after seeing some of these classic pro-wrestlers physiques in their older years, there's no doubt in my mind that a 70-80 something, if active enough, could keep up with the young uns. ESPECIALLY with all the magic healing we get.

Vince McMahon: Age 62 http://www.catchclub.com/catch/Image...Mcmahon/23.jpg
http://www.wrestlemag.com/images/vince_muscle.jpg

He seriously scares me sometimes. Seems getting knocked out by Bret Hart made him hit the gym 8 hours a day!

And we've all seen the Hulkster as of late, looking pretty ripped for an "old geezer" http://images.starpulse.com/Photos/P...Hogan-mm02.jpg That's him at 54.

Ric Flair was moving around pretty well for a 59 year old when he finally retired. Ric Flair says goodbye at mania 24 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Kevin Nash (Big Daddy Diesel) at age 48... http://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2007/04/17/519708/nash.jpg

Hacksaw Jim Duggan at age 54 is still kicking as well. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...7_filtered.jpg after battling kidney cancer as well.

And though he's resorting to the use of a feral leprechaun to win his matches, Dave Finlay turns 50 this october... Finlay and hornswaggle on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

So you see, age doesn't mean a thing if you're crazy enough. There's steroids and human growth hormone usually involved in these cases, but hey, those aren't nearly as effective as strength rings and bulls strength spells.

The funniest thing is that Vince is the oldest of them all, and could probably rip my arms off.

Arnold Scharzennegar is 60 now, and Sylvester Stallone was utterly scary at 61 in the latest Rambo flick.

[aragwen]

Jacchri born 1362, which makes him 73.

Still relatively young seeing he is a half-elf.

Old pro wrestlers got nothing on this guy, who I think was in his early 70s when this video was made:
YouTube - Hapkido Master - SelfDefense

[s0ulz]

Hm, Fenrir only 104, that's not even prime for dwarves, much more time to improve.

[jrizz]

And of course there was o sensei at age 85 still tossing people about and being a immovable object and irresistible force at the same time

[Stug3]

Balthazar sure is spry for 59...

[twidget658]

Rodlin left Voltrex at 132 and is now 185.

Ami left Voltrex at an older age of 213 and is now ***. (You never ask a ladies age!)


*hides his mouth behind the back of his hand and mouths the number* 247

[Lord Dark]

Tod's 50... I don't think I can play him as that, he's too immature to be 50. He just took a liking to women, can that be natural to be 50 and then just started to be interested in girls? I still play him as if he was in his twenties, it's sort of hard to remember how fast time flies.

Edit: Just adding the date of summoning in game: Novlar 21, 1415

[Gulnyr]

Halflings have pretty long lives, though. Depending who you ask (IC or OOC), it wouldn't be uncommon for a halfling to spend a hundred years or more being wild and free before finally settling down, and some may not ever settle down.

Also, maturity is kind of subjective. Jennara is 80 and loves playing tag with children and rolling down grassy hills and all sorts of "immature" fun stuff like that. It's all part of being halfling, I guess.

[geloooo]

121 years old 1 year on the surface

[SteveJW]

Kyle is a ripe 73. Gave 22 as his age on Character Approval and he was summoned in 1390. It is 1441 as of today.

Not ready for the old Weapon Master's home yet.
