Kin live a very long time, almost twice as long as the longest living Aes Sedai. The White Tower is not aware of this while the Kin are under the assumption that the Aes Sedai live 'at least' that long. One might think that one of the former Aes Sedai that is now a Kin member might have brought it up, but judging from the ignorance of almost all Kin members, this appears not to be the case. We can only assume that former sisters want to have as little as possible to do with their old lives and so avoid any topic that concerns it. There have been cases known in the Kin of members
reaching as old as 600 years, though at present the oldest Kin members
do not go over 450. Strength in the One Power has absolutely no weight in the standing of a Kin member in the group, while age has everything to do with it. It determines the Kin member's level of authority over others, their readiness to take on leadership positions and it lends them more weight in discussions and meetings. The Kin's system is based on the motto that 'wisdom comes with age' and their whole organization is built upon it. Because age is such a high factor in the Kin, there are specific rules to follow concerning your Kin character's age for the PSW. Age Rule in Biographies As you can see in the 'Kin Hierarchy' section, there is a maximum age limit of 150 for potentials to join the Kin. The vast majority of potentials will join the Kin at a much younger age, though so it is highly unusual that one so old would join. Keep this in mind when developing your character. Kin characters can be bio'd up to the point where
they start their first Turn as a Kin member, but before they would
take on any of the specific roles in
the Kin. The bio age of characters is the age the Kin character has in the main timeline. This means that if you wish to RP elements of her life before the point where she reaches her bio age, you will have to do so in retro. If you join your Kin in any Main Timeline RP Arc, your Kin will be her bio age or older. The older your Kin character is in her biography,
the longer we expect that biography to be as it should cover more
years in your Kin's life.
Aging through RPing: Rules Since age is such an important part of the Kin's
hierarchy there are some conditions linked to being allowed to jump
your character forward in age. Staff approval is needed to jump to: 200 - 300 - 400 years. (send a private message (pm) to Mystica at Dragonmount with your request)
If your character is 150 in her bio then you only need 1 reflective RP that covers her 150 years before being able to move on to the next age jump. This can be done solo or with another character (or even several), depending on what you prefer. It will serve as your character's starting point in the active world of PSW and as indicator of your active status within the Guild. In case there are no other active Kin members around, contact the FL Staff and they can grant you permission to do the required RP's on your own as reflective RP's. This option will be reviewed when there are sufficient active Kin members in the Guild. Note: the age related RP's must be done within
the age frame indicated. The RP's must be finished before they will be counted as valid. Check out the 'Progression System' for more detailed information on how to claim your age jumps. |
