Gerli Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 How much screwed are you now? I'm 37 so I'm likely be an very old man dropping white ash around the house... Damn brats and their flashing Runes! Quote

abbadon Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Yeah probably dead, or telling kids to get off my apple farm! Quote
NightmarePlus Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 20. 2/3rd away from kicking the bucket. Quote
Nekko Basara Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 41 and long since dead. No more hair-boners for me :-( Quote
BChoinski Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 At 52, long gone to wind. And my eldest daughter at 25 likely married, and starting to get a tad patchy in places. Quote
ManhattanProject972 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 22, so I'm still out there fighting alongside my Var buddies. Quote
ivorysniper Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) 35, probably gone or at least pretty flaky. Edited July 25, 2016 by ivorysniper Quote
Beltane70 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 46, so I'm most definitely an ex-Windermerian! Quote
spanner Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 did they give any reason as to why Windermerians only live such short lives?? I must have missed it.. Quote
azrael Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 did they give any reason as to why Windermerians only live such short lives?? I must have missed it.. Genetics. Tougher bodies, biologically capable of more things, shorter lifespan. Average lifespan is about 30-35 years. By the time they hit the latter half of their 20s, their skin starts to flake and peel like they have eczema, but without the inflammation-look. Quote

Sure sucks to have such a short life span though given how unpredictable life is to begin with! And poor little Freyja will look like an old bag in as little as 5 years! And like she should be in a nursing home in 10 years! LOL! Edited July 26, 2016 by spanner Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Looking down the barrel of the big 3-1... probably starting to look a little crusty around the edges by that point. Quote

dreamweaver13 Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 This is actually one of my issues with Windermerians, and why I can't seem to take them seriously as a threat to humanity. They have such short life-spans, they only lived on one world (until they used mind control to conquer others), and they probably inherited their valkyrie tech from the humans (i'm speculating. If there's a story that shows they developed the tech on their own, feel free to correct me). And now they're claiming that they're the true inheritors of the protoculture?? Sure, bring that up when you've already overcome the freaking species that the protoculture itself feared/idolized. Until then, shut the F up you entitled moths. (yeah, sorry, humans forever!) Quote
squaresphere Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) 35, but probably would have died way sooner. I mean they have access to transformable fighters! I would have been in flight school as a kid then died in a sortie in my teens cause I didn't have plot armor. Edited July 28, 2016 by squaresphere Quote

There's a lot I could say about the awful things large groups of gullible people can do when they believe they're "the chosen" of some higher authority... but the specifics of some of those examples would be stepping over a line, rules-wise. Windermere's a small provincial world with a population who are smarting from a war 7 years ago and probably an economic downturn resulting from same are being whipped into a fury by demagogues who are pushing a war of manifest destiny as the galactic "master race"... they're a little bit Space Germany circa 1939.

azrael Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Speaking of age, I wonder what the average lifespan of Ragnans and Voldorians is. As for me, I'm dead or a centenarian by Windermere standards. Quote
grigolosi Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Right behind Beltane and Graham, 45....dead and buried....or had my body tied to a missile and launched after a drone for viking style funeral......oh yeah Quote

sharky Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) I'd have gone blind from playing with my rune way too much. did they give any reason as to why Windermerians only live such short lives??

Marzan Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I'd have gone blind from playing with my rune way too much. You made my day with that one! Quote
