[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 9569882, member: 1125"] Its an interesting topic that has been commented on for centuries (see Tithonis and Tolkien) and does lead to some interesting rp. I have done so myself with my character Orbril the gnome, who I played throughout his entire life from a young gnomling setting out to become an apprentice alchemist, right through to his eventual retirement as a guest of the Fairy Queen and an "old calaban who delights in watching the nubile pixies" :) Part of his retirement was visiting all the gnome burrows that were descendents of his original clan and leaving Hamsters with them. Lots of looking back at his career and remembering friends and loved ones who had passed on as well as re-acquainting with those he had adventured with in the past. I think societies where Elf and Human and Dwarf interact commonly would be a lot more accepting of 'unusual couples', though there might be some private family concerns (so what happens when your human wife is old and feeble?), "um how exactly do halfling and the lizardman do yer know?" As to real world, it seems to be another weird Americanism thats pushing into global zeitgeist. My wife is 10 years older than me and its never been an issue (albeit I was 24 when I met her) [/QUOTE]
