Child Aging

[CthulhuPeople]

Hi hi!~ Not very well known in the community but I RP here! Also, I'm not sure if this has already been said somewhere or if it's even in the right place, but I can't find anything on it. So lets get to it, shall we?

Child character aging. I have a character named Ailil who is nine years old, almost ten. Naturally having a child character can get kind of annoying, especially when you have no idea when they will be older. Basically, I'm just wondering what the aging rules are in terms of children. I have heard of characters that were born and raised on the server itself, but have no idea how long it will take.

Usual time scale:

1 week = 1 year.

Oh I thought that only applied to babies. Thanks for the answer!

This was actually the listed as "Absolute most you should ever use", not the "usual" or typical.

I think Nwalme's kids have aged like, two years over a month or more of rp. Slow aging is gr8 for development!

Sorry, yeah, that ^^;

Usual time scale:

1 week = 1 year.

I thought the scale was
1 OOC day=1 IC week

I thought the scale was
1 OOC day=1 IC week

I'm sure that's used for pregnancies, as that's what I've used.

Also that would put it to approximately 1.7 months to age a year... that's bordering too slow in my opinion.

I treat all my RPs as happening in real time and don't prefer timeskipping at all, because I'd prefer my character to not die of old age, as I wish to use the same timescale without slowing it down later. That's a roughly 1:7 ratio and approximately what I've seen as workin.

Yeah, I think this was discussed elsewhere and never... actually released.
