Verb:AGE

AGE Type Roleplaying

This section has not been added yet; please add to it now!

The AGE verb can be used to set a character's age, description, and birthday. Once a character's age and/or birthday are set, it can only be reset via SimuCoin items. It is not considered an active roleplay verb as it serves a more passive role in how a character may be portrayed or viewed by others.
