Average Age of your characters?

[Diana]

I've been running through my character profiles and I realized that most of my characters, even my really really old ones from back in my roleplay youth are almost always in their mid to late twenties.

I used to play charries much older than me, and now I am the same age as my charries. I wonder if I will always play that age range. o____o;


ANYWAYS.... It got my wondering about everyone else! Vote on the poll and tell me: How old are your characters, usually? Do the age ranges make a big difference to you when joining a roleplay?

 

[October Knight]

I put twenties, but depending on the role play they range from 16 to early 30's. However I have played a couple old men before too.

 

[MiraMirror]

My characters range from 8 to like...17.
They're all youngins!

 

[Flaremon]

I like to do kids and teenagers... NO! NOT IN THAT CONTEXT!

Ahem. Yeah, so, I like to roleplay characters that are younger. I don't like to create anyone that's above 16 or 17. I don't know the exact reason, but I just don't like characters older than that (probably because they've lost much of the innocence of the adolescents that I like to depict out).

Going off-topic for a sec, I think I've seen little to none really old grandfather characters before, though, and I think it'd be nice to see someone break the boundaries and play them once in a while, like how Pixar decided to portray old characters for a kiddie show.

I always play twenties range, usually mid.

Now that I'm getting older, I like the 'older' range. 40's-50's. Why? I like playing the OLD MENTOR style guys. Obi-Wan Kenobi, etc..

I tend to stick around the teens, although I have played characters in their 20's (and in one case 30's). I also like to play little children sometimes, but that's only if I'm actually allowed to or if the RP calls for having children aged ten or below.

 

[Krang]

Well, Katrinka has shown me the humor fun in playing REALLY REALLY REALLY old people, ancients and magical constructs nonwithstanding.

But other than that they're usually kids-twenties or forties.

 

[Arsenal XA4]

Between twenty and forty. Average age of most service members today.

Chief is the oldest HUMAN character of mine, at 51 years old.

Duke is the oldest non-human, at 610 years old. Then again he is a lych made from spare parts and dead alchemists.

 

[Woodrat]

Perhaps I shoulda selected it. But I usually played along the lines of late 20s to 30s.

Always felt odd to play someone who was supposed to have legendary experince in some skill but was only 16.

 

[Sakura]

My ages range from 15-17.
I'll occasionally sidetrack for the sake of roleplay, but I like to stick to where I am x)
Also, the personalities range from 12-14 xD

 

[Razilin]

Twenty for the young heroes. Twenty-eight preferably.

 

[King Weavel]

Usually from older teens to those in their 20s.

Sometimes the NPCs are the older, more middle aged folks although I have had middle aged mains. And on occasion, there were some old characters.

It'd be awesome to have a really old people as the mains but...Just would be kinda awkward and not easy to pull off/have combat scenes with.

 

[Lovie the OG]

Usually, mine are between the ages of 14 and 22-23ish. Sometimes I'll play a mid 50's or maybe 60's. Depends on the kind of roll I want to play. >_>

 

[Karsikan the Berzerker]

I tend to play characters who are young for their race, but still old enough to be a respectable age. So mid twenties to early thirties by human scale.
