I'm currently doing that thing where my brain starts to hurt. Oh yeah thats called thinking! Heh my bad. Any ways I'm really thinking about making a jinn. The doll and the history and everything else just took me over. They are so awesome. Here is the problem. I don't want to many similarities between my character and Janus. That would be bad. So before I make a jinn ( assuming that's ok...) I need to know a couple of things... Basically from Janus.
Upon reading your characters profile I got an odd age warp stuck in my brain. Judging from your appearance description and your doll I assume that relative to humans you're character is somewhere from 16-19 yes? I noticed you said that he looks like he is in his teens i just want to clarify specifics.
If he is about 16-19 can I get a conversion of about 13-15 years human in Jinn years? I'm assuming about 87.... And If he is about 13 (which i doubt because you said early twenties)... You know..

Actually I drew him in 'chibi' form, if you are unfamiliar with what that means, it just means sorta deformed and cute by anime standards ^_^ Janus in reality looks about 18-20 in human years. He'll stay looking like that for another 200 hundred years or so before he actually starts to look a little older and looses 'baby fat' basically the large eyed appearance of an adolecent.
Basically, there is no 'conversion' since Jinn are immortals. Just like human babies, the first hundred years is their largest 'growth' period, where with human's our largest 'growth' period is our first year if that makes sense. Most of the 'development' of a Jinn happens in that time then they get stuck in like an aging hiatus (so do harpies) until they hit about 300 hundred years and they take on more of an 'adult' appearance rather than a teen ^^'
Does that make any sense? Seeing as they are immortal there is no real 'conversion' since there isn't a point where they become 'old and frail' really. They're considered elementals like the Sylph and gnomes n' all, elementals of darkness.
^_^ So basically, I think Nicki and I were playing with the idea of rather than 'dying' when an elemental reaches full maturity (which varies from individual elemental to individual elemental) and masters their element completely, they become part of the element itself rather than dying, like becomming something larger.
