Lifespan Rules
· If a race already possesses a naturally longer lifespan than the rank bonus:
· They only gain power increaselifespan remains unchanged
· The lifespan bonus only applies once the rank exceeds their natural lifespan.
Aging System
· Before RankB, aging slows proportionally to lifespan.
· After reaching RankB, individuals fix at that age (external look) as a focal point and remain in their biological prime.
· At 85% of their lifespan, aging resumes slowly.
· This aging can be reversed back to the look of the age at which they reached Rank B by breaking through to a higher rank.
