Greetings -n- Salutations,


I posed a question on Undernet #Shadowrun and got some good feedback, but
I thought I would bring the question here as well to try and get some
other points of view.

Shapeshifters are animals that can take on (meta)human form. So do they
age as a (meta)human or do they age as animals? Or.. do they have their
own lifespans completely separate from both the animal they resemble and
the (meta)humans they can appear as?


Gotta theory?

Good question. The regeneration could counteract aging indefinitely, but
then they'd have the Immunity to Aging power. I'd say they should age just
like whatever animal they awakened from. Of course, animals don't feel their
age like humans do, barring arthritis or other medical conditions (that a
regenerating creature may or may not suffer from), animals barely slow down
until they stop entirely.
