DQ: Are you (depicted as) under the age of 21 years? If you are shown as aging over time or in a series of works, then give the age either of first appearance or the most well-known work. (If the character is in a single work in which his entire life is depicted from birth to death, it’s fair to say “yes, under 21”). Immortals or others who don’t have normal lifespans should be judged on their human appearance. ---
