Hello everyone!
As you may or may not know, there has been some concern about the aging process of the characters here in TGB. We, the mods, have considered many different ways to go about this, and after plenty of debate, we've finally come to a decision.
Every
two months, the
season will change. (Summer to Autumn, Autumn to Winter, Winter to Spring, and Spring to Summer.) Depending on which
season your cat was born in, they will age
one Season Cycle at the
beginning of that
season.
One
Season Cycle consists of four
seasons (also known as
twelve moons). Because of this:
two seasons is the equivalent of
six moons. Therefore, kittens will become apprentices as two seasons (six moons).
For kittens: when
two seasons have passed, they will be half a Season Cycle old, and become apprentices. (Ex. If your kitten is born in the Summer, then they will become an apprentice in the Winter.)
Examples: Basil was born in the
Summer season. Therefore, when the
season becomes
Summer again, she will age up by
one Season Cycle, and therefore be
Five Season Cycles old.
Coud was born in the
Autumn season. Therefore, when the
season becomes
Autumn again, he will age up by
one Season Cycle, and therefore be
One Season Cycle old.
This final example will be a simple walkthrough to the process!
Blue the kitten is born in the Spring. Through the seasons of Spring and Summer, he is a kitten. When the season becomes Fall, he gains his tattoo and becomes an apprentice. Through Fall and Winter, he is an apprentice. When the season next changes to Spring, Blue will be one Season Cycle old and will become an adolescent. He will become an adult in the Fall, which will be one and a half Season Cycles since he was born. When it is once again Spring, he will be two Season Cycles old. Every Spring, he will age up by one Season Cycle.
The
Age Progression journal has been updated accordingly.
