Line 457:
** There are a number of people in the [[Forgotten Realms]] setting who are much order than they look. The Seven Sisters are more than 700 years old but appear to be in their thirties. Elminster Aumar and Halaster Blackcloak are more than a thousand years old but appear to be just old men.
** In the 2nd Edition ''Birthright'' setting, one of the inheritable blood abilities (drops of divine power left in the mortal world) is Long Life, allowing someone to live up to five times, twenty times or ''one hundred times'' longer. One seemingly middle-aged character is widely rumoured to have gained his long life at the very battle where the Old Gods died!
** Draconians in the ''[[Dragonlance]]'' setting; given their [[Proud Warrior Race]] nature, nobody knows what their natural lifespan is (no Draconian has ever been known to die of old age) but some have lived as long as 1,000 years,
* Slaanesh from ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' is easily older than 10,000 years old, but whenever s/he chooses to reveal itself to a mortal will take a form that person considers the most attractive. The Emperor himself looks like a human male in his thirties or something, but is actually some fifty thousand years old (more precisely, he ''looked'' like that before being put on life support for the last ten thousand years. What he looks like now is anyone's guess...). Space Marines in general have a life expectancy closer to a thousand years, but certainly don't look like that, while their Chaos equivalents can live practically forever—and even if they kinda look like shit, [[The Corruption|it has nothing to do with their age]].
** Also in the ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' universe, there's the Apex Twins, a pair of [[Creepy Twins|psychic twins]] who are [[Person of Mass Destruction|alpha-level psykers]]. They have the appearance of two 6-year-old girls and project an aura of incredible cuteness and harmlessness, inspiring anyone nearby to protect them, even if they were originally supposed to be killing them. Their true age is unknown, but it is known to be measured in millennia.
