The problem is, differentiating their actual age with their physical age, and Awakening only makes things more complicated. Apparantely, after the operation, the aging process is dramatically slowed no matter how old you are and you physically age very slowly until the physical prime of your life(early to mid twenties). After that, you're frozen. Irene for example looks old because of her apparant silver hair and elven features, but if she's younger then Teresa, why does Teresa look young and fresh and Irene looks like a senior. Get it? To answer your question: It's hard to say but most of them look, and they should be, like their somewhere in their 20's, though some pics make them look even older. Clarice looks like a teenager who just entered high school(14-17), especially since she has a baby face. Not a pre-teen, but someone who just crossed that border. Did the best I could, Aging is a tricky subject. Too many things to take into account: actual age, physical age, how their faces look. Clare for example looks like she aged a great deal since the earliest chapters, but I think that has more to do with Yagi's art style improving rather then actual aging. The exception is Riful, she has aged no matter what you say. |

@Clarakiss: Clarice and Dietrich look like they are probably younger than Raki, the others you named look a little older than he is. |

If I had to guess, I'd say 20 years old is about right, considering their obvious stupidity in even attempting to take down Riful. Miria I would guess to be around 30 years old. Claire, the youngest of the Ghosts, is probably around 22. Galatea, on the other hand, is probably at least 35 years old, judging by her excellent knowledge of the Org. Irene would, were she alive, have been probably around 45 years old. Claire, Raki, Miria and Galatea go walking in Rabona's streets Claire: "So how old are you Galatea?" Galatea: "Claire, how many times must I tell you about not discussing my age?!?" Miria: "You only say that because you don't want the young priest you've been romancing to be embarrassed..." Galatea: "Why you!" Miria: "So what if you're thirty-five? I'm sure a cougar like you doesn't have trouble finding prey!" Galatea: "Well I guess you could say 'I'm an Oldie, but a Goodie'". Raki is awestruck by Galatea's ripped nun's outfit: "You're an Oldie and I'm having a..." Claire immediately stops Raki with a

For the sake of longevity, I can't imagine Claymores physically age past a certain point. I mean, just look at Rapahela, she's one of the oldest Claymores around and she doesn't look like any 45 year old I know, and I think she's older then Irene. And then we have other things that change with time, partially with Yagi's new decisions. Dauf for example, looks much more menacing and evil inside the tunnel then he did later on outside; you can say it's because we actually see his entire size, but I say Yagi actually made him a bit smaller, perhaps because he really isn't that strong compared to alot of forces(and he's stupid ). Priscilla's the same; when she first awakens, her hair stands up and she looks extremely malevolent. When she fights Rigardo, this is not the case and she doesn't look so crazy and evil, probably because Yagi decided she would not remain the villain. Last edited by Shiek927; 2009-06-05 at 19:04. |

Wait, you wouldn't happen to be cyborg would you, Padawan Shiek? As for the remarks regarding the improved drawings...yes, they do improve a lot over the series, but I stand by my comments on Claire appearing older in the recent arc of the story. She simply appears more bad-ass and less insecure than she once did, even if better drawing is responsible for much of it. I think Yagi did modify her looks somewhat. Check out claire from chapters 1-4 versus Claire from chapters 67-current. If your theory holds though, you'd have to double-check her looks from chapter 60 versus 67. Having done so myself, I still say she looks older, better drawings "being responsible" or not!

Nevertheless, his old drawings, nay, the whole manga as a whole was very "stock" and simple in the earliest chapters. Thankfully he kept at it, and began adding more and more original material and matured his own unique art style. You can also say all the characters aged(and they probably did a little), but I stand by what I said and say that has more to do with his drawings simply improving. Oh and Master? Your name is pronouced "Reven" I'm more amazed you actually counted XD |

Honestly MisterJB, you make it sound like you never saw any of the originals Then again, now that I remember my posts in the Live Action thread(http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...65#post2412965), Raki's resemblence to Anakin is also extremely uncanny. I dare say, Yagi based him off Anakin a little bit. Quote:

Yes, Darth Maul from Episode 1. Episode 1-3, the "new ones"(they take place earlier in the series, but came out later), highlight Anakin Skywalker, the father, and his transformation to the evil Darth Vader. The originals, 4-6, the "older" ones, highlight his son Luke Skywalker's journey into the Jedi Knight who redeems him. It's sort of like, Episode 1-3 are about Teresa, and Episode 4-6, are about Claire. Hard to say. Theirs a lot of unknown factors on how one warrior is stronger then the others. Part of it depends on the actual Yoma that was used in the process, and how much. Claire for example has only 1/4, but that 1/4 is from Teresa, so we know she's obviously no weakling, even if she was at first. As far as we know, their is nothing about the actual person that helps determine how strong of a warrior they will be before the operation. If we are too assume, for example, that the flesh would be from either Isley or Priscilla, Raki would grow up to be an extremely powerful warrior in time, especially if 1/2 was used and not 1/4. And of course, all the other things that determines power: How much training/experience, half-awakened or not, awakened or not, any techniques etc. A good question is: What would happen if two yoma were used? Both Isley AND Priscilla? as far as I can tell, such a thing has never been done before. |

putting isley and priscilla flesh in someone like raki probably isn't such a good idea. it might just destory his body or mess up his mind completely. two different kinds of yoma flesh inside a person would create chaos as isley's and priscilla's flesh clashing against one another, trying to gain dominance over the person's body. |
