Ages..?

[Onasaki]

Okay. First off, I'm crazy, probably by asking this. Secondly, I'm seriously curious.

Considering the number of 'small' characters, it's hard to figure out how old everyone is just by looking at them and the different races and what not. So, I pose this question:
How old are, Menu, Charby, Crispo, Foomy, and Kavonn? Same question to the some of the 'smaller' female characters too, Yiska, and the like. I can't seem to remember the one girl with the weasel's name.

More specifically, who is the 'oldest'? Pirates have existed in many different eras, so Charby could honestly be the oldest one in the household. XD Though it's sketchy.

I know that Mye and Hex are like.. 395, or something. I'm sure it's been touched in other places in the comic too. And really, it's not that big of a spoiler either.

You've probably seen this thread already but:

Perhaps when Amy has decided on more exact ages for Foomy, Kavonn, Azelea, Crispo... on and on, she'll do us another baby/kid page. ;D (Sorry, couldn't resist being cheeky)

[the1truesushiboy]

As a side note, the girl with the monkey-weasel (Meerse) is Fay.

[Amelius]

Hehe, I may have to add the ages to the Wikia when I can get around to it!

I might hold on to a couple of exact ages at the moment, especially concerning Yiska since she's been around a while but she's not as old as some of the others

I still have to calculate fairy-age equivalents still so I'll get back to you on Azzy's age, but she's at least a teen but much older in years than any human teen!
I'm basing this on the current year in the comic, 2004. As of that date:

Fay is exactly 12, going on 13. Being part elf, the boys were a bit surprised to find this out... thought she was a weeee bit older!

Menu is 25

Phineas is 10 but ages differently, equivalent to mid/ late teens (which explains a lot, eh?)

Charby is 358

the Duycayne twins are 324

Foomy....ah, his plane of existence is a little different so I'll have to ponder on that one! He's not a child though.

Crispo is much older than he looks. I'll just leave it at that for a moment

Kavonn is 200 years old

Zeno is 31, with 20 years "missing."

So Charby is the oldest, the twins come in next, and Fay is the youngest

[nightreflection]

So Fay is trying to get her claws into Hex, thats... what's the opposite of cradle snatching? Surprised though that she's not put off by the fact that he's dead. Not olde enough to have fromed preconceptions?

I'm guessing it's a short-term crush, but I bet Hex starts to miss her when she gets over him.

[Amelius]

Kehehe...she doesn't know how old he really is Hex has made hints but they go over her head like SWOOSH. I'm not sure it has occurred to him to outright state it... at least, not yet >

[Odin]

lol Fay is a grave robber.

Speaking of the Wikia, not that this is relevant to the topic at hand, but because this is probably the most reasonably opportune moment; it has a notable number of typos. As is possible with some Wikias, I attempted to correct these, but the page was locked, preventing it. I'm not even sure if I have an actual point or question to this, but it does feel like the sort of thing that would be brought up, so... yeah.

[Odin]

nick is bad with typos XP

[Amelius]

Haha, yes he is he's a great writer but a bad speller!

Sorry the pages are locked, but the first day I plugged them someone troll-edited Kavonn's page to say some really nasty things, so every page is blocked now. I may endeavor to assign more editors in the future though... but I don't want to make workmonkeys of my friends!

If I may inquire, which pages need a bit of fixin'? It doesn't help that the Wikia itself has no spellcheck function either!

[Odin]

thus the beauty of the google toolbar's spellcheck feature. only feature I use on it really.

[nightreflection]

Bleagh, toolbars.

I've already got too much spyware on my PC as it is. Like IE 8

Nick has more than me - I'm a bad writer and a bad speller..

[Odin]

You still use that antiquated IE 8? I believe I'm up to like IE 9.0.8112.16421IC.

Google Toolbar is also linked to my Gmail and Google talk. In fact just about everything google based is linked in one way or another so it's fairly useful.

[jetylefr]

work-monkeys are fun anyway you know.

[the1truesushiboy]

I can't say I recall all the pages I noticed errors on, but I did tally the ones on Tony's, and there were somewhere around twenty grammatical or spelling errors. If that's at all a reasonable average for any given page, there's much to be done. And, honestly, I'd hardly think of it as being a work-monkey, 'specially if it's something I'd decide to do on my own anyway. If you do assign editors, I'd be glad to help.

[Onasaki]

*waves his hands, and uses his necromantic powerz of awesome to raise this thread from the dead*

Or at least, something like that. I never did comment much after I posted this last year.

So, if Menu is 25.. how come he still looks like he's 10, when he's human? Or was that part of the 'spell/potion' thing that makes him appear human, so it didn't look awkward when he was at the party with Claire?

[Amelius]

Werewolves (at least, the kind that Menu is!) age incredibly slowly, and since he's a werewolf all the time he's not really growing much in his human form. The way I see it, the werewolf sort of maintains a constant state of being. I might cover it in the comic one day though.

But yeah, he pretty much just looks the way he did before he got turned.
