Well Flay wasn't really a villain.... just a really disturbed girl. Ilya becomes friendly later on. Now that girl from Wind, on the other hand, really creeped me out later in the series.

Ilya was too cute to take seriously as an evil villain and Lucy was as much a victim as those she killed. Kakuzawa was the real evil villain in Elfen Lied.

How about Shion from Higurashi?

Btw, how young is Kuuya? She looks no older than 12 from what I can tell. Wouldn't that sort of be "rocking the cradle" for Hakuoro if she joins his harem and expand his empire?

[Asianknight82]

Well way back when, As soon as a girl is able to conceive a child she is married. Due to short life expectancy from war, plague and famine, it was common for a girl as young as ten to be married and having children. It was only until the last 100 and some years that people started to set an age (in america) for sexual relations. Globally though, 16 seems to be the O.K. age, but 18 is better, sorta mentality.

[PGilis]

Hmmm... ages in Utawarerumono? Let's see...

Obviously Aruruu is the youngest of them all. I remember i saw in someplace - maybe in a game spoiler - Hakuoro thought Kamyuu is around 2 or maybe 3 years older than Aruruu. And she is A LOT well endowed compared to Aruruu. Heck, she even beat Eruruu! So she must be a teen (with some raging hormones ) and Aruruu a preteen.

As for Dorii & Guraa, they're probably on a age still can be confused as boys or girls. Yet they can fight, so they're probably a little older than Aruruu. All in all, in my opinion, they must be:

GIRLS
*Aruruu = 10-12
*Kamyuu = 14-15
*Yuzuha = 16
*Kuuya = 17-18
*Eruruu = 18-19
*Touka = 21-22
*Kakura = 24-25
*Urutorii = 25-27
*Sopokku = 28-30

BOYS
*Hakuoro = 24-25
*Oboro = 18-19
*Benawi = 28-30
*Kurou = 31-33
*Nuwangi = 19-20
*Teoro = 34-37

NOT SURE YET (I.M.O., they're hard Gay boys )
*Dorii & Guraa = 13~14

That's just my opinion. I have no clues except those i quoted.

[cheenk]

hmm i thot oboro was more like 20 or 21 and though of benawi as a young genius sort of thing so about like 24? and kurou seems way too old in ur prediction... i thougth more like mid to late 20's

[KaneDragon]

Hmm... agree on Aruruu and Hakuoro, knock off two years from Kuuya and Eruruu. Not sure about the garchers, since they are young in appearance, but they are archers, so I guess I'll settle with your guess. Don't care too much about the others.

All the age guesses are suspect in that we have no idea what the average lifespan is in this world nor when people are assumed to be "of age" ... nor do we know if the nutrition alters when they enter puberty. Prior to the industrial age, it was very common for boys and girls to couple up as early as 12-14.... in hunting societies, as soon as the male succeeded in his first hunt, in agricultural settings it might be delayed longer because the labor was needed on the parent's farm.

Many of the ancient peoples you read about were in their teens or early 20s ... very few lived past 40. I'd be surprised if Teoro was more than 30-35 given the pre-Edo/Ainu/DarkAge-like setting.

Also.. this is a fantasy setting and there are some aspects more in the vein of science fiction

Spoiler:

I understand this is actually set in the far far future after a good deal of genetic manipulation because of some terrible war

so pretty much all bets are off. Hell, the average lifespan might be 200 and no one hits puberty until 50....

[Urzu 7]

Whoa, Vexx, definately emphasive that that is a major spoiler by giving a bigger warning. I read it, and it sounds like the story is going to get much more interesting, but for people who don't know the storyline of the whole series, don't read that spoiler, it is a biggie.

[Asianknight82]

Um, the twins are at least 16, They're old enough to give Oboro a "hell of a fun time" :P, I dont think you confusing them as boys have anything to do with their age XD.

Now they tell me

I don't think it's that big of a deal. Unless (or until) it's explained through the story, I don't rack my brain trying to figure out when/where stories take place. It doesn't really have much impact on the development of the characters, although it can heavily effect the plot.

Nevertheless, don't read that spoiler. It's a freaking A-bomb.

[Deathkillz]

haha not even fricking sherlock or Einstein would have figured out the spoiler...thats the inpact it got...now my head hurts

[Cardiac Glycoside]

I've heard of that spoiler elsewhere yet D don't see how it make that much of a difference. It's like Phantasy Star III's plot twist, sort of--

Spoiler:

You find out that your world is a gigantic spaceship, even though the rest of the game is a medievalish type background. But the futuristicness isn't that much of a spoiler isn't much of a spoiler, since the first character to join you is a cyborg.
