Oh, he meant life expectancy. I'm glad you caught on, Wolfram. I was like, "Uh, yeah, I can do it, too. I just extended my age by 2 seconds while reading the question. And I extended it again by another 5 seconds by answering the question."Well, Savin responded to a topic about this by saying that TFs are by and large cosmetic, which seems to suggest that a shorter-lived character TFing to a longer-lived species wouldn't extend their lifespan any. A pantheon TF might do it since one of the gods is taking your soul and reshaping you at a fundamental level. Even if that's the case it probably only half-counts since it's not extending your Champion as you've created them as the transformation is kind of a part and parcel of it, unless your ideal for that character just happens to be one of the potential pantheon TFs that we know about (and only if others get implemented in-game). Other than that, I'm sure that if you want to mentally roleplay you can imagine that the portal magic did something to your Champion's lifespan if you want them to live longer but I don't think there's anything established in-universe that would do it, at least not right now.
And yeah, I'm with you on the Ryn thing. I mean, I'm sure she's aware that she's likely to outlive any non-elf friends she makes but it would be sweet if there was some way for the Champion to not die of old age probably a century before her.
There's a conversation with Kiyoko after she's freed, both the champion and Kiyoko are saddened that she'll outlive the champion, but such is life, yada yada. However, if you trade your soul to Keros in exchange of becoming a kitsune, that conversation becomes much happier and warm-hearted. to be more specific, it turns to this:A pantheon TF might do it since one of the gods is taking your soul and reshaping you at a fundamental level.
hey you figured out my not-terribly-hidden ulterior motive in asking that question XDWell, Savin responded to a topic about this by saying that TFs are by and large cosmetic, which seems to suggest that a shorter-lived character TFing to a longer-lived species wouldn't extend their lifespan any.
