Do we even know how old the Soul Riders are?

[@DogDogGodFog]

Hey Eleanor, I feel like you should do a theory on Hermit because at the end of the Nightdust questline he talks about the druids (which is weird because he probably shouldn't know about them) and he gives you a magical-looking saddlepad that has an actually animated moving galaxy pattern just like Nightdust's coat, and when he gives it to you he says that it's special and that you shouldn't lose it. I know that this quest is multiple years old by now and the questline has gone untouched and unmentioned by the developers for a long time, but I think that this is really mysterious and theory-worthy.

fun fact: the soulriders are all a different element zodiac sing alex (5 april) aries= fire, linda (27 january) aquarius= air, lisa (9 may) Taurus= earth and anne (3 november) scorpio= water

[@stormknight6442]

And they're each suppose to be a cornerstone of astrology... however, Alex is meant to be a Leo, not an Aries. It throws the whole thing off and it bothers me.

[@XxQueenChristinaxX]

​@@stormknight6442 Alex being an Aries makes way more sense than Leo. As an Aries myself I can see it, especially when comparing Cardinal vs Fixed quality. I think the others having Fixed signs was more to space them out and give them different elements rather than to show a special meaning. Aries is traditionally seen as the warrior of the Zodiac and is ruled by Mars/Ares, the god of war. Alex is the warrior of the Soul Riders and is the only one who fits best for fighting. She's usually the first to act ---> first sign. And there's more to it. Leo is more of a kingly or performer-like sign rather than a warrior. Even Sagittarius would fit better than a Leo for Alex, but it should be clear that she's meant to be an Aries.

I think too that soul riders are around 18. Time is very mysterious in sso. Maybe Pandoria affect all Jorvik more than we think. And interesting age in this game have Avalon too.

[@amedeacatpaw5987]

The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything! That makes sense, SSO has referenced several book series in their game, so why not The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy?? We also don't really know the question, is Avalon the lonely answer looking for the question?

I think Anne would be younger by about a year since she was stuck in a pink crystal for the longest time I could remember. Lisa was in Pandoria for less time so it would make sense that her age wouldn't have changed.

Well Anne she was in Pandoria since in 2011 so that means she been in there for 8 years then in 2019 they did the main quests to saving Anne.

[@VagrantButterfly]

I feel like SSO was a golden apple, it had so much potential. but the new team/developers are hollowing out the apple and filling it with dog turds. They're re-writing the backstories and erasing the old game now.

[@grob391]

Eleanor, I was doing one of the main story quests, the one were we had to save Lisa from Pandoria, and she basically said something like, "Things haven't been this crazy since Freshman year." So the soulriders must have been 14 or probably 15 in Starshine Legacy. So if there is a two year gap, they are 16 or 17. I hope this helps! :)

[@lightgoddess666]

It's starting to seem we're in some SSO multiverse situation. There's the no longer canon SSL universe, the no longer canon SA universe, the no longer canon SS universe, the old possibly canon SSO universe, the Mistfall universe, the book universe (which takes place in the current universe) and this, current universe. I think your idea of their ages is pretty accurate.

I believe this is as it is. Two years have passed Lisa would have just turned 18, and same with Linda and Alex. I believe, like how the original games are, this is set in the past. The story of SSO I mean.

[@sddreamcrystal]

I never played the original games but I always thought in SSO they were between the ages of 17-19. I think the little tips scroll that appears at the bottom of the loading screen still say something about it being 2 years have pasted since the original events of SSL or something of that nature

[@alexthepurplewolf835]

honestly i always thought my character and the soul riders were the age i was when i was playing. i started playing in the summer of 2013 and i was 14 so i saw them as 14. now that i’m 22, i see them as such. but hey that’s just me🤷🏽

[@Creation_Mode]

It's interesting, what I do think is that nowadays the books are defenitly canon. The old games were made without taking all the new quests etc. in consideration. I think we can't fully count the old games canon nowadays anymore. Some of the events in the books are really alike the old games but not exactly. Lisa her age is mentioned in the first book, it's not too big of a spoiler so Im just going to say it here, in chapter one it says she is 15 years old. I don't know exactly where it was said anymore, but didn't Alex mention something about those events that happened 2 years ago? That would indeed make them 17 or 18 now. Not sure about how much time we spent in jorvik since the start of our questline, maybe half a year. At least 3 months, since we came in summer and also did the light ride in fall.

[@immy2743]

i think this is pretty realistic, as anyone born from September to February are always in higher or lower classes, just because of the month they were born in (at least where i live xd) so if Linda was born in January, then she should be a year behind, hence that is why she is in the same grade/year as all the other soul riders. same thing with Anne, anyone from September to December is younger then the rest of the class, and any one born in January and February are older. but for the other 2 i am not Rly sure :P

In the books (if I remember correctly) Lisa mentioned being 15 and the 1st trilogy is based on the ssl games, right? The fourth book is said to be almost a year after so Lisa would be 15 to 16 and the story reminds me of what would have happened pre sso storyline with Anne and all that (I don't wanna spoil). But Anne mentions that Caroline was the same age as she is (so 17, just about to turn 18) and that kinda threw me of because yes she could just say that bc they're close in age but she specifically said "same age as ME" not "US" so idk. And about Linda being left behind in school,, I don't think it would be that far fedged considering she was born in Pakistan so she probably didn't know the language when she moved to Jorvik as a kid.

I was fine with them being 18 and about to graduate and go into the world ina sense, then i was fine if they wanted to change the ages to 17 as thats is the common age to graduate their high school equivalent in European countries (i.e. England, Sweden, Ireland, etc.) whereas its pretty common in the U.S and maybe Canada that most students graduate at age 18. But is Linda were to be 20, she would have long sense graduated in any country and not be in the same grade and classes as the rets of the Soul Riders as thats what seems to be the case in all the games regardless of their official ages. I don’t care what they change their ages to as long ass not too old or too young to where it doesn’t make sense especially with the backstories and original games as it would make the story too confusing.

Theory: at the beginning of the game, they say we are only staying for the summer. But, that turns into a year. Star stable made the game so it had levels, for riders and horses. You know those quests that you have to wait to do? Well, every time we level up by doing multiple-day and main story quests, a year has passed. Same with horses, except a year passes when they become more experienced. So, technically my character is 15. But, the soul riders aren’t actual players. I’m guessing star stable made it like this so they would cover up the mystery of their ages, due to the star academy and star shine legacy games saying the girls were always around 16. My final statement is within the soul riders’ name. *SOUL* riders. What I’m saying is, they might be immortal, like Fripp, but their souls and appearances remain the same, heroic “16” year old girls, even though they may be hundreds of thousands of years old.
