In Noir, most of my characters are in their teens but a couple are over 20. In Salem, my characters are all between 20-40 with one or two in their teens.

Well if we're going by main characters, the two kids are still teenagers at 16 1/2 and 18, the main adult characters range from between 20 and 25. I have one secondary character who's at about 13, one who's close to 30, and the other people on the ship can be anywhere between 20 and 30, really.

So... let's just say "young adult" :D.

My characters range from my protagonist who's in her early twenties, to one guy who's in his fifties.

Yeah, my females tend to be younger. I'm such a sexist. -_-

I seem to be the only one who didn't have trouble with finding an appropriate age range. I won't insult your intelligence by telling you which one I went with, eh? :)

Most of my characters fall into the 20-25 range, with one 16 year old and one 1 year old.

Most all the RY's are 16. and chances are though years will pass, they will remain that age.

Robby and Claude are 17 though.

I really don't have age ranges. I mean some of them act like they're 3, and some act like they're 30. But I don't really know how old they are.

Hmm. Interesting question. Well, my age range for my characters is pretty spread out. Besides the gods, who are like....immortal, alot of the characters are 23+. I would say that Sarii is the only person that's a teenager.

I guess I don't like writing plots that involve my age group much anymore. :-?

Wow.
I never really thought about it.

Everyone who works at the club is an adult - so anywhere from mid-twenties to mid-thirties I guess... Frankie might be lots older, being a leprechaun - same for Jon, who's an escaped demon.
Though Pimpette herself is ageless; added bonus of having Satan himself as her father, I suppose.
Frog and Glowing Member are probably the youngest of those working at the club. Jon might be the oldest.

Interesting thing to think about.
I'll have to mull it over some more.

i'd say most of my characters are early to mid twenties, the captain would be a bit older, maybe 30 and I think gary is probably a few hundred years old or something. TAG might be like 80 or something, his people being long lived or some other scifi clich

Heh... and lots of, er... exercise, too. Yeah. :p

I'm not really sure what I'd choose, probably just that I haven't thought about it. I mean, let's see...

Dottiar, Lizelle, Sven and Svein - probably late 20s to early 30s.
Tobec - probably early 20s
Imp - she's a demonic creature, no telling how frickin old she is.
Aroni - he travelled with Lizelle's parents, so though he still looks late 20ish, he's probably more in his 60s or 70s (darn those half elves for aging so well!)

Sorceress Jeneia... heh, she's OOOOLLLLDDDD...

Wall is less than 15 years old, but is an adult, and was 'born' an adult. Harnet is just an adult for his species, which... is probably 16 for sessra, IIRC. The three humanoid characters who haven't shown up yet fall between 20-30 years old. The shay-an hunter is probably 400 years old. Then there's Relative Zero, Dauntless Strike, and Pertinent Tangent who are several hundred million years old by the time the comic takes place.

Not that anybody knows who I'm talking about yet other than my players.
