Normal Aging and Passing of Time
Here at Cinis Cor, one month in real time, equals 1 season (3 months) in game time. This means that is takes 4 months Real life for your character to age 1 year. I realize that this sounds fast but think of it this way.
With that being said, Winter is the last season of a year, with a new year starting in spring. With each monthly update, we include aging updates so that you do not forget to age your characters as there is some consequences (such as not being able to play that character) if this is not done.
Pup Aging
During the first month, you may play them as a 3 month old. They are still very young at this point and very attached to their parents. Before they can be played, they must have a completed profile.

The average character begins on the site as a 3 year old. Most species live to be between 10 and 15 years old at time of death. So let's say the character was to die at 12.
That is 9 years of IC play time. 9 by 4 is 36 months which translates to just over 3 years of OOC playing time. Most characters are abandoned or killed off long before they die of natural causes or by disease at old age.
