How Old Are Your Characters?

I'm already in my 20s but I tend to write characters who are young teens up to young adults.
In my former comic, Morsel, my three main characters are siblings and their ages are:
Milo - 20
Huey - 18
Eloise - 12

Even the comic I'm planning to release will have really young characters. For some reason, it's more fun to write stories with young people. Maybe also cuz I'm always like, 12 years old at heart. lmao.

Well, i've only introduced 2 characters in my story so far on both the comic here and on the official site:

Roxy: 19, Clem: 19

But yeah, most of the characters that will appear in the comic are between the ages of 18 and 20.

My characters aged along with me My first OC, Eidolon was around 14, just ~2 years older than I was when I created him, now he's about ~23-24, (I'm 21).

Characters from all my other series have also aged accordingly .

A lot of my stories that are now being revamped and published on Tapastic were first created when I was around 14 years old struggling with the transitional time of middle-high school. A lot of my stories were relationship stories tbh. I can't believe my characters were dating at the ages of 14-16! Jesus I didn't start dating till I was like 19 (How long have I been dating? I can't remember, better ask my bf again XD)

That's a good question!

I also tend to make characters older as I grew.
Now I have a pretty wide range of ages for my cast.

Ricky is probably around 45 years old,
Lev, 55 and David 17.

I planned this thinking about the number of years they spent as homeless!

I am 29 so it doesn't really reflect my age. However I've been thinking about this story for a while so the characters really matured...
