This would be completely optional.
I've noticed, and I'm sure others have as well, that players age their characters at different times. And if you have a character who is in relation to another played but someone else they may age their character faster or slower.
This tends to get confusing and a little awkward when Character A is 2 years old and has cubs then all of a sudden those cubs are older and having cubs and then those cubs are older and having cubs and then 2 year old Character A is suddenly a great great great great grandparent.
Another example relative to this pride:
I thought Project and his siblings were still teenagers. A few days ago someone told me that they were young adults and I have seen on Kururu's bio that he is a mature adult.
It gets confusing.
So really there should be some sort of guide to go by.. yes?
Again, it can be completely optional for others to follow but it would be very very helpful.
I suggest that ever 60 real life days a character moves on into the next stages of their life.
Such as :
Cub, Teen, Older Teen/Young Adult, Adult, Mature Adult and then aging the character from there however you like.
The same seems to be happening with pregnancy.
There are a lot of litters happening and it gets a little hard to determine the age of all these litters.
Some characters seem to have their cubs right after getting pregnant.
I suggest a character be pregnant for 2 real life weeks before giving birth. It just makes things seem more organized. And that 2 weeks would start after cubs had been picked.
So my logic for my characters is this.. And please correct me is I'm wrong.
Osic and Carnal are roughly days older than Circa and a few weeks older than Project and his siblings. I thought they were all just coming into young adulthood. When Zalui joined, before Circa was born, Balthier and Nerante were older cubs/youngish teens. So that would make them 6 - 9 months older than Osic, Carnal, Circa and Project.
A Suggestion of an Age Progression Timeline :
Pregnancy = 2 real life weeks
Cubhood = 60 real life days
Adolescence = 70 - 80 real life days
Entering Adulthood = 80 real life days
Adulthood (and Mature Adulthood coinciding) However the player decides.
