Waoling Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Why can't Wurt (or Wilba) age? We know Constant native can age but why can't Wurt (or Wilba) age? Did they got some kind of magic cast on them? Did they eat immortailty pill? And who are Wurt parent? Why aren't they with her?

HowlVoid Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I don't think canonically any of the main cast have aged, even Maxwell went from normal to dust in an instant. Since Wilson's arrival I don't think that many years have passed. Plus I think it's unclear how time works in the constant. Wanda ages but she's affected by her own shenanigans. Something along those lines I think. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/141495-wurt-and-wilba-is-odd/#findComment-1582211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primalflower Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Realistically, this is a question that lies beyond what the developers really want you to think of, and is answered by "its a video game, having wurt/wilba age into their full grown counterpart isn't part of the gameplay that is wanted from them". The same goes for every other character that doesn't age. If you want a silly lore answer, I would simply say the adolescence of a merm or upright pig is painfully long, taking upwards of thousands days before the entity begins to grow again. 'Tis why they cut the other piglets from hamlet.

chincer Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 the constant operate by a different set of rules that clearly keep the survivors in a loop, Wanda's magic and specially her quotes show that she is beyond this cycle in a way and has love through many timelines it is likely she can age under a specific set of conditions but also i will assume that some areas of the constant are different from others, like the forge and gorge, and time works differently in all of them Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/141495-wurt-and-wilba-is-odd/#findComment-1582293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittem Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 aside from time in the constant being weird and death and life still being wacky for the natural habitats as well, my headcanon that once a constant-born creature becomes "a survivor" they are know under the same effect as the humans, that is not aging, being able to be attacked by charlie, etc Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/141495-wurt-and-wilba-is-odd/#findComment-1582314 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think klei must have an in canon explanation. I think its common for certain aspects of characters or setting in media to have things that aren't explained and don't necessarily have any explanation, and its not important or necessary for them to have such. An example I immediately think of is concept of storks delivering babies. Also, where in the lore is it stated that wurt is the only child merm? The description of her trailer states that she's the smallest and youngest, but I take that as her simply being a bit of a runt, not that there aren't any merm children elsewhere. Stepping a bit more into head canon, I think its possible that wurt doesn't quite consider any stage below her to be in her group to be quite "in" yet. Maybe there're little merm tadpoles in those swamp ponds, or something.

maradyne Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Headcannon: while exceptions and weird rules exist... Time experienced in the Constant flows more or less at the same rate as IRL. The sun just flies around the plane very quickly, and seasons all change in the span of a few hours. So you can experience two and a half years of seasonal changes in a day, and the survivor's circadian clocks have all given up and gone home.

Frosty_Mentos Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Maxwell kinda went into different stages of age as the only character that shown age in the game. Other than Wanda, but Wanda is kinda cheating in her own way. The Constant continent and the rest of the world is stuck in the same time loop that ruins stays forever unchanged and can reset, nature always regrows and time goes fast for everyone all the time. Literally the definition of the world we play in.
