My question is what do they do with the old star signs? Like what happens to Warren when a new star sign is born to his star?

Sloane is the "Shadow Goat" (p.72 ToN)
So, Raven are you going to keep this one updated for everyone now that mouse is no longer around?

So far the ages are only hinted at or told when they add something to the story.I hate info dumps and I don't want to add too much more that detracts from what any given scene is about. You can guess about ages, though, due to the lineage, and who has been a part of the troop for the longest. ;DI agree age is sticky mentioning them especially when dealing with woman's ages. It is not something we share often. Info dumps; I am struggling with. I am not sure how much info to share, in order to make more depth/to mention for my characters. How do you know when its good to dump info, or give it?  |

I have two Pisces to add... Solange is a Pisces of Dark and her weapon of choice is the tomahawk, I don't know what her profession is -- does old time saloon madame in Midheaven count? There is also Shen, he is Pisces of Light trapped in Midheaven.
I hope this helps!

I have a question about the Star Signs -- do they continue to physically age when they metamorph during their thrid cycle or does their physical appearance freeze at the time they ascend into their sign? I guess what I am trying to get at is if they didn't alter their appearance with surgery, would they still look 25 or do they age just slower? Does Warren look 25 when not in vagrant drag, what about Micah?
I am trying to visualize the characters and I can't quite get certain details -- hoping you can fill me on the aging question.
THANKS!

We can ALL help. Any mod can edit the original posts.
The star signs do age. Warren's crusty ass is a perfect example.
Surgery alterations notwithstanding, I don't know if it's at our regular human rate or not.
I would think with their heightened regeneration abilities, they'd age better than us.

<< Warren's crusty ass is a perfect example. >>
LOL, is Warren's ass really all that crusty now that he's posting as the average Joe (and seems to be one step ahead of everyone -- even with that gamey leg)?
And Tekla has aged since the photo was taken of her with Zoe but does she really appear her chroniligical age or is the age more weariness of the loss of her son?
Joking aside, I guess my question is -- how quickly or slowly do the Signs age once they ascend into power.
After all, they're suppossed to be immortal unless they're killed in an attack or children stop believing in them. So how do they age?
Now that I'm asking the questions -- do they hit menopause? Think about it, if they age slower than we do it's within the relam of possibility for Tekla to have another child or even Zoe.
As always, I am grateful for any insight!

Good question, Montbriac -- and thanks for flagging this for me, Ravie!
Yes, they age "normally" though as someone pointed out, their cosmetic surgery tools are pretty advanced. But the signs are passed on through the generations, and if someone were to just try to hold on to their sign, it wouldn't be so important 'culturally' for them to keep the sign within their matriarchal lineage.
So for all intents and purposes, they age normally, though with the level strength and abilities afforded the Zodiac.
Help atol?
Vic
