I had never considered that as an option.  Then why are we all a hundred something and look like high-school kids? I assumed being long-lived meant that we were working with expanded timelines. I mean, with Capone's backstory, it was taking him a while to understand what was happening with his mother's feeds. Decades. I'm just wondering... they're born and grow to 14-16 within a matter of hours? How? Where does that energy come from? Even magic requires sacrifices and trades in order to function, in most lore: An incantation, a sacrifice of energy, life force, whatever you want to say.
