A human baby can shit, scream, and suck on a titty. Thats about it.

Could you imagine being born an elf and being stuck in the deformed, useless body of an infant for a literal eternity. The titty-sucking part might be fun, but everything would get old real fast. You wouldn't ever see an elf get to the point where they could even walk without them having already gone batshit insane centuries ago.


You forgot piss, they are very efficient pissers.

Well, most animals are really badass compared to humans, at least, proportionally so, for the small ones.

Code:
Equivalent human age = [(Actual age - 5) / 2] + 5 

Try
Code:
Equivalent human age = (Actual age + 5) / 2

instead.

(x - 5)/2 + 5 => (x - 5)/2 + 10/2 => (x - 5 + 10)/2 => (x + 5)/2

Neither formula really works because neither one accounts for the first five years of life properly. For example Szar, in your formula the half-elf would mature faster during the first five years of their life.

A better way might be: If (Actual age < 5)
Actual age == Human Equivalent
Else
Human Equivalent == ((Actual Age +5) /2)

Yay logical statements?

I came up with a nifty equation for half elf ages for a novel I was going to write four or five years ago.

Yes I had way too much time on my hands as a freshman in college XD


Keep in mind that this formula/discussion was not based on Poe's work. Your theory might well be best for ES, but I'm very bad at judging ages, so I would not know.

Though, really, I think that after elves / half-elves mature the rate that they age at is MUCH slower than merely 3/4ths or 1/2th of their actual age in equivalent human years.

Though, I may be wrong.

(For those who are slow of wit, the example being that the half-elf lived there for over 65 years but looks barely thirty, meaning it may very well be someone within 1/2 to 3/4ths, unless of course half-elves mature only slightly slower than humans (i.e. Ian may be 22-23 ish in human terms, insofar as I can tell) but then in the next 30 years he'd only age about 5 years, at which point he would like he was in his late 20's, or "hardly thirty" or somesuch.)

Edit:: Also, 111th post! I like such numbers.

For ES or for DaiDreamer's world? Because, if it is for ES, that makes Meji 12-ish( she really doesn't look that young to me) and for the first five years it would make half-elves *older* than their human equivalents.

A lady never reveals her age. You men just keep on guessing. You can have all the formulae in the world, but when a woman says, "29", you'd better smile and nod.

Unless it is this woman, in which case you flee.

12 year old females do not look like what I remember 12 year old females looking like when I was 12, that said she looks like a 7th grader to me . As for the early years well I figure they adapt and grow a bit faster fresh out of Mom enough to get them off to school and playing with others before things slow down.

Well it wasn't too long ago in comic time when this http://www.errantstory.com/archive.php?date=2004-06-30 occured and you'll notice her friend does say she still looks like she's 12 years old.

Twelve years old in a society where little girls are made up like whores, magically augmented in certain *ahem* areas, and given their own tentacle monster for private use.

Remember, she didn't have the "adult mode" password, yet. (I wonder if she ever did get that?...)

No, when she says she's 26 (or 29) but looks like she's 40-something, you don't nod and smile, you get the fuck out of there. And definitely don't fuck her... Even if she's japanese.

Damn I almost wish I never posted the equation. :-D I'm confusing everyone. I posted it as a quite and dirty way of figure out half elf aging. I have no clue what Poe uses.

I never really wrote down the exact equation till that post. This is what I did:

I would take the human age I would want the elf/half elf to appear as. Subtract five for the years that humans, elves, and half elves age at the same rate. Then multiple the remaining number by two for half elves and three for elves (elves in my world did age and die, well most of them). Then add five back to this total.

For example, humans reach full growth at about 20 years of age. Using that method, elves would reach that same point at 50 and half elves at 35.

If you find a way to write this out better, please post it. XD

Really I'd have thought it was the other way round as in if she say's she's 17 but looks 12 you run the other way (refering to Meiji here).
