<p>Your story is a bit similar to mine. I've also started daydreaming when I was 12 and he was 45. At some point I changed his age to 35, and he's stayed the same for years. Now I'm 26. In my DD, sometimes I'm 16, sometimes 26. He's supposed to always be older and wiser, so I sometimes think about what will happen when I get in my thirties... I also don't think he'll ever disappear, and I'm not even sure I'd want it.</p>

My daydreams always centered around high school students who are 15 to 18 years old. Now that I'm nearly finished with high school, I feel like Peter Pan for sticking with my high-school-setting daydreams. When I was in middle school, the characters in my high school DD's seemed like awesome older brothers and sisters, but now they seem like babies! It's crazy and makes me sad.<br />

<p>Yeah, I've got a 12+ year I just "wipe" whatever history I later find to be incorrect and "rewrite" it in my mind. The first time I remember setting an age for my character, I chose for her to be born in '90 so five years older than me so she was 17-18 at the time. I later changed it to '92 to keep her at college-age, and she became my age when I went to college. I'm curious if when I'm past my prime I'll do the idealized age thing again like when I was a child, but make her younger instead,…</p>

I'm curious if when I'm past my prime I'll do the idealized age thing again like when I was a child, but make her younger instead, or if I'll just keep her the same age as me. <br/><br/>Ages don't change by day though, my daydreams run in real time. So as the character's birthday comes and goes they age. As for other characters, some have static ages, some also age in real time. Kinda depends on what their role is, like close family and friends tend to age in real time. </p> I created my main character a…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2017-03-17:4661400:Comment:2542092017-03-17T13:42:02.029ZZolikhttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/Zolik
<p>I created my main character about 27 years ago (when I was around age 8) and he has stayed a similar age ever since, although his age isn't always consistent. Some days he's 35, some days he's 36, then he can go back to being 34 etc. But he was 27 when I created him and should be 54 by now, but he has been around 35 for at least 10-15 years now, with occasional jumps back or forward a couple of years.

Other characters have been pregnant and had babies (I keep a list with those ticker things you see on parenting forums, to keep track of how old all the youngest characters are).</p>

For my longstanding DD characters, they age with me. Not much changes physically, but I know they have aged.
