Yup. If they live right, they can reach a hundred plus, but I'd
say a safe bet would be mid- to late-nineties.
And, quoted from the "History" page from the site:
"The species in this world mature faster than we do. Children start
school at the age of 4, and graduate high school by the age of 16.
In nearly every nation, you must be 16 to drive a motor vehicle or
get married, 18 to drink alcohol or vote (funny how those two are
together like that), and you must be at least 19 years old in order
to obtain a pilot's license.
Most species are sexually mature while in their early teens
(perhaps a throwback to the rapid sexual maturity evident in most non-
sentient animals), and many will experiment with sex at this stage in
their life (although many times, the parents may disapprove of this)."
As a general rule, they have fairly short childhoods, but long
adulthoods (followed by shorter "senior years"), just as displayed by
a lot of animals here. And if you think that's bad, wait until you
read about Onika's species. Shit can get real confusing there...
