The Revised Dragon Code

Age (A*)

Your age is something that can be very personal, or something to be very proud of!

A+++!	Ancient
A+++	Venerable
A++	Old enough to know better!
A+	You've been around.
A	Mature Adult
A-	Young Adult
A--	Still under Mom's (or Dad's) wing.
A---	Hatchling
A---!	An egg (nearly hatched)!
A?	I have no idea how old I am .. I lost count years ago!
Modifiers:
r	Put after the A, this indicates that one is specifying one's 'Real Life' age. For example Ar- indicates 'I am a young adult in real life.'
v	Put after the A, this indicates that one is specifying one's 'Virtual Life' age. For example Av+ indicates 'I've been around on the 'net!'
( )	You can use both of the above in seperate tags to specify both ages, but you can also use a short-form method by just putting the r and v parts within parenthesis. For example Ar-Av+ and A(r-v+) both indicate 'I am a young adult in real life, but have been around on the 'net.'

For reference, Human teenagers would be A-, A would indicate someone in their 20s to mid-30s, and every + would indicate about another 15 years.

Notes:

This was the first tag in the original code to be 'distributive', i.e. to allow real and virtual ages to be specified without using two Age tags.

Many prefer to put a second line of Dragon Code for their 'Real Life' selves as they can then use all the tags to describe that form.
