Ah, so I guess for the reincarnated people, the start of the IC would be as if they suddenly 'regained' the memories of their former life? With the memories/personality of their pre-awakening self lost during the transition?

Also, do different races grow at different rates? Or would, say, a twenty year old elf be just as mature and physically developed as a twenty year old human? Do we fill in the age of a character's Earth self? Or the age of their reincarnated self?

At the start of the IC characters of whom want to change form will be reincarnated while those who stick to their regular form won't and will just be instantly teleported to the starting area, while those who chose reincarnation will change bodies and their memories will be transplanted onto the new body and then they get teleported to the starting area.

Also the only differences in age are currently the Beastclans and Elves. The dwarves and humans have a regular aging process while beastclan can live for thousands of years while Elves only live for hundreds. You can put your human age but you can also put your race age.
