How old are some of the more prominent NPCs?

I looked around, but was unable to find any discussions about the ages of almost all of the more prominent characters in the game. So here I am, having made an account just to put the question to you guys.

The question popped into my mind when it's implied that Anno has spent some "quality" time with your dad, presumably before he got sick. Does this mean that she's more than 20 years older than you? Making her an ultra-cougar when she spend some "quality" time with you? What about some of the other characters?

Your cousin: Is he slightly older or younger than you?

Shade: Is it fair to say that she's probably as old as your mom? (Whose age when she has you isn't really discussed either.)

̶G̶o̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶l̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶t̶a̶n̶g̶e̶n̶t̶,̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶g̶r̶e̶a̶t̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶a̶v̶e̶r̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶l̶i̶f̶e̶ ̶s̶p̶a̶n̶s̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶v̶i̶d̶e̶d̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶e̶a̶c̶h̶ ̶m̶a̶j̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶e̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶d̶e̶x̶.̶ ̶D̶o̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶e̶s̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶a̶v̶e̶r̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶l̶i̶f̶e̶ ̶s̶p̶a̶n̶?̶

Average life spans /are/ in the codex, its just that for some species its hidden in the description text instead of being at the top of the pages where general info is stored.

The dornas are 10 years older and Shade's somewhere in her 30's I think, and I'm pretty sure the cousin is around the same age as the PC.

Average lifespans are indeed shown in the codex.

Description might say mid 30's, but with an adult daughter I'm a bit fucking skeptical.

Seems I missed the ages in the codex. Thanks for that correction, I'll take another look.

Having daughter around 15-17 y.o. she could still have adult daughter and be in mid 30's. Plus it's not human race so it may be considered adult slight earlier than 18 years. Codex seems not to meantion when Kaithrits reaching adulthood plus her daughter is mixbreed so it may be affecting time of hitting adulthod by her too.

Just to expand on this, wasn't her having a kid that young the reason she met the stormguard in the first place?

The wiki only mentions that she got pregnant "in her early years." Could be anywhere from late teens to mid twenties depending on when ̶A̶u̶s̶a̶r̶ Kaithrit become sexually active. The wiki then mentions that she had a falling out with her mother, leading her to head for Uveto.

I suppose its possible for her to be in her mid 30s if she had her daughter around 15-17. With Cpt. Steele being about 19-20 that would put her in the 35-37 range.

Now that I think about it. Doesn't she mention how much older than her daughter she is during your first meeting on Uveto with her? Something along the lines of, "I'm only X years older than you," when her daughter calls her old.

Back to Anno for a minute. Does she mention how many years ago she started working for Steele Tech when you first meet her?

Hmm this part is slight...unclear.
First she say: Met him at a theoretical physics conference about three years back.
Then in the same scene she say: I worked in Steele’s R&D for a couple years before he picked me to represent us here to Tarkus, right before he died.
I mean couple years may be 2-3 or even 5 yet she claim to met Victor only around 3 years before current time. Well either way it mean she meet Victor 3-4 yers before game start

So I almost asked a very stupid question but thankfully looked at the wiki first.
You know your brain is scrambled when you mix up Shade and Kaede... e_e

Actualy 38 should be considered technicaly already late 30's as Sav himself said Shade is 38. Well either way she's not yet in her 40's xD

Everyone in this game is a cradle robber! D:

My poor female Steele is being taken advantage of. I mean how mature do you guys honestly remember being right after high school and before college?

*Starts writing an 18 year old character*

If she's THAT young, yeah fine.
I mean, if we were to go really extreme, she could be as young as thirteen. Going by the numbers Savin gave though, Shade was 20.

@Vio But the one who made her may not be in joking mood when his hammer falls on anyone that irks him.

On SHade been yound when getting pregnant. Still I not see in codex how early counting in human years kitty race getting able to reproduce or been considered adults. I take devs laziness make that both kitties and puppies reach both points like humans. Thou if that the csse it's slight shame to make some aliens to somehow get adult or redy to fuck to make new generations at the same time like human race would.

Jill should be 17 so Steele can be there at her (most likely) overly-extravagant birthday party and claim her (virginity (is she a virgin? hopefully)). Or with Jack fucking Steele and such.

Personally, I'd like it if Jack and Jill both existed, so them and Steele can have a big ol' incest selfcest threeway.
