Waittt... How old is Piper?
150, her species live to be about 1500 but don't follow conventions of "she's young for a demon so she acts like it" she's basically just someone in her mid twenties with a job lmao
so... roughly 6 years for a demon is equivalent to 1 year for a mortal, or something like that
give or take! they don’t operate the same way we do, so even younger demons/angels are just seen as adults. no real societal changes unless you’re at the end of your life or you’re a baby
Was Fjord the cat of a viking?
Now give him funny historical clothes.
They'd phase through him!!
19th century..
now obviously nothing about his design would give off something like that, so i get it

when u die in folder 18 verse pretty much everything resembling your life is gone including most memories, it’s only mannerisms and personality that stick
Dying in the folder18 universe isn't *that* bad.
it made more sense to me to not have him be physically defined design wise by his life being alive

also before anyone gets weird piper is also around like 150 . her “species” in verse live to be about 1000-1500. That's auntie and unc
How does a demon end up dying from old age?
because they’re not biblical demons and simply just a difference species/race from mortals!
but like how do they differ biologically
Can't wait for Piper art in the year 3375
God bless....
Baby Piper is *only* 150 years old. Although, age seems to be much less important for metaphysical beings, I'm glad the two are in around the same ballpark.
LOL yeah, they don't see age as anything important since everyone lives so long out there, I think it also helps fjord and piper since they're so detached from the norm, fjord being a deceased ghost and piper not even from his dimension
'when u die in folder 18 verse pretty much everything resembling your life is gone including most memories, it’s only mannerisms and personality that stick'
Wow! That's really depressing!
only ever happens if you have severe attachments to your life when u die! fjord willingly stuck around to care for the lost souls of kittens :>
Awww ok, that's better then :p
Looks like a baby to me. <3
he’s a littol guy!
200 years? *punches numbers into calculator* ask him about Napoleon!
Don't mind me, just a railway company based in Canada looking at furry art.
I know that not every worldbuilder makes fully logical worlds, but did english evolve in your world? Or did, historically, the manner of speaking english coincidentally match between earth’s and folder18’s?
just for simplicity ill say they’re basically the same as our own world since i’m not a linguist, never really accounted for it!
middle ages were a lot longer than 200 years ago
yes, that puts him in what we call the "early modern" period, the transition out of the middle ages
the early modern period ended in 1800; he was born in 1824
He died in the late 1700s and was in his 30s when he did die- he isn't strictly 200, 200-300 (200 something)
ah ok, 1700s isn't really middle ages, those were 5th to 14th century
that would be if he was *exactly* 200, but it says "200 something", so it has to be *more than* 200. Since even 299 is "200 something", thre's a 75% chance it's more then 224
