Hi, I was looking for some nice pictures of Ameiko for my Jade Regent campaign, and noticed a really nice one at deviantart (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Commission-Ameiko-Kaijitsu-396093939) . However, it seems to depict her a bit older than the pictures in the campaign guide. This made me wonder - do we have any confirmation on Ameiko´s likely age at the start of the campaign? She has held the Rusty Dragon for a while in the start of the first adventure path, so I´d imagine she´d be in her late 20s at best. Still, I´m curious if there was something more concrete.
There's a quoted post from JJ here (with a nice timeline in the spoiler)
Apparently she was 18 in RotR (having owned the Rusty Dragon for about a year at the time) and 22 in Jade Regent
.... wow. I am tempted to make a "did her parents know" joke here. Alllright... that is a bit too young for my taste, what with the "been there, done that," vibe I am getting from her story, so I might tweak it a bit.
Thanks!

Well one thing to remember is that for periods before the 20th Century, 16 was considered adulthood. So a 22 year old in a Medieval/Renaissance-esque world filled with monsters AND having dealt with the events of Rise of the Runelords would have a great amount of life experience.
Yeah, she really was out there at a young age. She began adventuring at 14, IIRC.
Eh. Counter that with 200-year-old dwarves and 320-year-old elves running around and now you know why the Runelords' empire had to be 10,000 years in the past and not 1,000.
