3	Characters that are ReallySevenHundredYearsOld in FanWorks.
4	----
5	* ''Manga/FairyTail'' fanfic ''Fanfic/AlternateTailSeries'': The Exceed Pantherlily is described to be around Macao and Wakaba's age spiritually. But because of his race's long life, he is actually 189 years old at the start of the series.
6	* [[Manga/LoveHina Keitaro Urashima]] in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5463805/2/Ancestor Ancestor]]'' is actually over 1300 years old. His original name is Taro Urashima and he's pretending to be Haruka's nephew for fun despite being her many-greats-grandfather.
7	* ''Fanfic/BagEnders'' features the [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Fellowship of the Ring]] living in early-2000s England. Technically all the characters fall under this heading, being Really Six Thousand Years Old, but the hobbits in particular are constantly mistaken for children. This gives them problems when being carded in pubs, but allows them to get away with children's fares on trains and infiltrate the Boy Scouts.
8	* ''Fanfic/TheBridgeMLP'':
9	** Quite common between the kaiju and various magical Equestrians. Just about the only ones who look their age are Godzilla Junior, Xenilla, Mothra, Destroyah, and the Mane 6.
10	** Anguirus (looks 30, actually 77,000), Rodan (looks 16, actually 70,000), Queen Chrysalis and the alicorn sisters (look 25-30, actually >1,000), The Sirens (look 18-23, actually 1,000), Monster X and Gigan (look 23-27, actually 300-200), and Megalon (looks 19, actually 150).
11	* Most of the characters from the ''Fanfic/BloomingMoonChronicles'' are this. The epilogue of ''Hecate's Orphange'' takes place at least a hundred years after the story itself, yet the characters do not seem to have aged.
12	* ''[[http://www.tthfanfic.org/story.php?no=31008 Butterflied]]'': Due to a Sith's experimentation, [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Xander]] is a few centuries older than ''[[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]]''. This, along with having the memories and skills of Raksta Lsu (who is widely considered one of the best lightsaber users in history), make Xander [[OldMaster the greatest lightsaber master ever]].
13	* In Fanfic/CadanceOfCloudsdale, Princess Cadance, actually. Not that she remembers much of it.
14	* ''Fanfic/TheChaoticMasters'':
15	** Baron von Steamer claims be be over ''200''. Considering he's seemingly a non-magical human, everyone is taken aback by that claim.
16	** Daolon Wong's origins are unknown, but records of him date back to at least the Ming Dynasty.
17	* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has a number, including just about every adult Asgardian.
18	** Thor, Loki and Sif are about 1500, Fandral is implied to be a few hundred years older, as is Hogun. Volstagg, meanwhile, is a fair bit older than either, making him well over 2000.
19	** Gravemoss is over 1500.
20	** Doctor Strange is over 400 years old and looks like he's in his early 40s, having looked that way since he first came on the scene in the early 17th century. Due to the fact that he's a time traveller, he's probably quite a lot older - Odin's private estimate is that he was born around the same time as Thor and Loki, and that with time travelling, he's about Odin's own age of 5000 plus. The real answer is [[spoiler: that even Strange doesn't even know, because he stopped counting at ''100,000'' years old. His own private estimate is around ''500,000,'']] pushing him into the TimeAbyss trope.
21	** Wizards of the White Council can live up to half a millennium - though Dresden, a White Council Wizard himself, remarks that this is really pushing it. They also get a bit elderly.
22	** [[spoiler: Sinister]] hasn't aged in at least a century, and comments he makes about having travelled the Silk Road suggest he's much, much older.
23	* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'': When [[spoiler:Ritsuko wakes up from a coma and sees Maya, she thinks that she's in her forties. Maya]] informs her that she's nearly six hundred years old thanks to advanced aging-slowing technology.
24	* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': All people Shinji and Asuka meet in the Empire of Avalon are at least several hundreds of years old, but neither of them seems older than forty. Ching is 432. Daniel, the GodEmperor of Avalon is ''452,388'' years old and it is due to his protection that aging is not an issue in the empire.
25	* ''Fanfic/ADiplomaticVisit'': In chapter 2 of the sequel ''Diplomat at Large'', it's mentioned that Queen Scolopidia is about three hundred years old, and still the equivalent of a teenager by Royal changeling standards.
26	* In ''Fail better'', a ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'' fanfic, Lucia is a 780 years old goddess when the story begins and looks like she's in her early 30s. When she [[spoiler: becomes human, her new body applies to this and she starts her new life being physically 30-something]].
27	* In ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaPinkEyes'', the lead character Puppysmiles is a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic little filly]]. She's also was [[OurZombiesAreDifferent ghoulified]] at the start of the Great War, and though it's been two centuries since, she's still the same hyperactive foal, only with [[HealingFactor new skills]].
28	* ''Fanfic/FateOfTheClans'': Don't be fooled by a Servant who appears youthful. They can actually be ''really'' old. For example, Cú Chulainn says that his body's 24 years old. But he also said that he was alive at the end of the Age of the Gods (BC) to the start of Age of Man (AD), making him over 2,000 year old at this point. This is because time doesn't exist in the Throne of Heroes and the Heroic Spirits can be summoned in their prime.
29	* ''Fanfic/FireEmblemThreeHousesFifthPath'' has Sothis, who, just like in canon, looks like a child despite really being thousands of years old, maybe more. Both interestingly and amusingly, when her child-like appearance is pointed out by Byleth, she protests that she's 9 and a half years old (as opposed to the 8 years old Byleth accused her of) instead of protesting her actual age.
30	* ''Fanfic/AHero''; Homura has gone through enough time loops to memorize every single relevant event in the city, and is old enough that she can barely even remember what she was like before accepting Kyubey's deal. The fact that Puella Magi don't age severely rattles Madoka. Then there's [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek Sec]], who takes pride in being over 250,000 years old (since, as an Intergalactic Space Nazi, that denotes many years of combat and experience).
31	* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità]]'': Like in canon, [[TheAgeless all the countries]] are this. Germany, Italy, and Japan all look 20 despite them being 1054, 2484, and 3284 years old respectively. That, and they are also ''[[NighInvulnerability really]]'' [[NighInvulnerability hard to kill]].
32	* ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'':
33	** Daolon Wong is eventually revealed to have been born at the end of the 15th century.
34	** [[spoiler: Nimue]] and [[spoiler: Harold Hale/King Arthur]], being who they are, are each over a thousand years old.
35	* ''Fanfic/{{Hivefled}}''; thanks to a magical life-extending kiss from Condesce, the Grand Highblood has remained an adult in his prime since before the birth of a now-elderly troll a blood caste above him (thus with a lifespan which should be significantly longer than his).
36	* All the Loopers in ''Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops'' eventually end up as [[TimeAbyss Really Millions Of Years Old (or more)]], but it's most noticeable and jarring with physically immature characters like Harry Potter (who happens to be one of the Original Seven loopers and is thus "breathtakingly old" even by the standards of Loopers) and the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
37	* ''Fanfic/JusticeLeagueOfEquestria'':
38	** Rainbow Dash/[[Franchise/{{Superman}} Supermare]] is technically a thousand years old, but due to the TimeyWimeyBall of Kryptonian {{Magitek}}, is biologically the age she appears to be physically.
39	** [[Franchise/WonderWoman Diana]] was born/created about a year before the Nightmare Moon incident, making her about a thousand years old as well. However, she is physically the same age as the Mane Six.
40	** For that matter, Cadance was born shortly before Diana, meaning she's just as old, but again, doesn't look that much older than the Mane Six either.
41	* ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'': Ra's Al Ghul's real age can't be guessed based on his physique. He vaguely looks like a middle-aged man, but in reality he's lived several centuries.
42	-->I am nearly seven hundred years old. Give or take. Perhaps it is five hundred. I forget so many things, having lived so long.
43	* In ''Fanfic/TheLightNeverGoesOut'' the Mane Six are really 200 years old while they look like they're in their 30s or 40s thanks to the Elements of Harmony.
44	* ''Fanfic/ALongJourneyHome'': after a StableTimeLoop, Jasmine is something like five thousand years old.
45	* This comes up in ''Fanfic/TheManWithNoName'' when River mentions that [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]] is too old for her. [[Series/{{Firefly}} Mal]], believing himself to be about the same age, feels rather put out by this. (Funnily enough, Creator/NathanFillion and Creator/DavidTennant are less than a month apart age-wise. Were the Doctor human and both of them the same age as their actors, Reynolds would be right on the money).
46	* In ''Fanfic/MassEffectHumanRevolution'', Adam Jensen is actually 190 years old, though this is partially due to his augments and partially due to being cryogenically frozen for a century.
47	* ''Fanfic/TheMelindaChronicles'' is a Highlander crossover so this predictably happens with the Immortals in the cast. Melinda herself takes this up to 11 by appearing to be around 19-20 despite being born sometime in the very early ninth century. Sonic even mistakes her for Tails older sister instead of his adopted mother when they first meet.
48	* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'':
49	** Celestine is a high elf who is over a thousand years old, and, due to being the Goddess Reborn, has the [[HotGoddess appearance]] to match.
50	** Olga is a dark elf who has fought Celestine for centuries, and is described to have the appearance of a MsFanservice.
51	* In ''Fanfic/NoCharmEqual'', which is set in the twenty-first ceentury, it's unclear exactly how old Harry is, but he's been alive at least since the time when cars were known as the horseless carriage. He looks like he's in his fifties [[spoiler:until he becomes a mortal again, and de-ages down to appearing to be about thirty]].
52	* In ''Fanfic/NoirAnge'', a ''Manga/SoulEater'' fanfic, Zelda Kitsune is this literally, but she looks like a 17-year old girl. There's also Yuuki and Yuuka, and all of the other Witches count as well.
53	* Cloud Strife in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4813784/1/Once-More-With-Feeling Once More With Feeling]]'' still looks to be in his 20s when he's 105. Likewise, Vincent and Nanaki/Red XIII look the same as they did some eighty odd years ago. While Nanaki just comes from a long-lived race, for Cloud and Vincent it's due to the experiments performed on them.
54	* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': In the sequel ''Picking up the Pieces'', it's revealed that Cerberus, the same individual from canon, is still alive and well even a thousand years after the wedding disaster. So is Tirek - Gentle Step saw him in his cage during her trip to Tartarus prior to her promotion to Captain General.
55	* Many of the characters in ''Fanfic/PokemonMysteryDungeonHandsOfCreation'' are immortal Mystics who have lived for hundreds of years.
56	* In the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'', the entire [[BadFuture Dark World]] mane cast, as Discord made them immortal and have lived for a thousand years old. Derpy also is, due to the curse Discord put on her. To note, the ''only'' member of the good guy's group who ''isn't'' a thousand years old or older is Apple Pie, Applejack and Pinkie's multiple times great niece and the new Element of Laughter, and Spike's the only one who's that way ''naturally''.
57	* ''Sailor Moon: Legends of Lightstorm'': Jason Shepard may appear to be an ageless human adult (and quite a handsome one, given Sailor Moon's description of him), but in ''Lightning Round'' he tells Sailor Jupiter that he's 1,073 years old. He also says that the same thing could happen to her if nothing kills her.
58	* Anthea from ''Fanfic/SixesAndSevens'' is a siren born directly from the muse Terpsichore and the river god Achelous, and therefore was around for the heights of Ancient Greece and is at least 3000 years old. She looks like a beautiful woman in her twenties.
59	* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8869552/1/Snowmaiden Snowmaiden]]'' plays it for comedy, when the title character asks an elf if he's not a bit young to romance her. His response is that the question is rather whether she doesn't consider him too old, as he's roughly ten times as old as she is.
60	* ''Fanfic/SomeThingsNeverChange'' reveals that [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Mr. Krabs]] is at least several centuries old and has kept himself alive by discovering the fabled FountainOfYouth, and he apparently needs to visit it once every year to remain strong and vigorous, under the pretense that he's going to an annual fast food convention in New Kelp City. [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Plankton]] has also been trying to prolong his lifespan by transferring his mind into a synthetic body, though it quickly [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath backfires on him]].
61	* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10063155/10/Song-of-the-Serpent Song of the Serpent]]'' lamia tended to live rather long lives while not looking it, due to greatly slowed aging after they hit fifteen. According to Harry's uncle his great-great grandfather died at the age of six hundred and thirteen.
62	* In ''Fanfic/SonicXDarkChaos'',
63	** Jesus Christ (yes, that one) is still in his thirty year old body despite being two thousand years old. Most of the Angels count as this, since they're all ageless HumanAliens. Some of the non-human Angels like Tephiroth take it up to eleven - several of them are ''trillions'' of years old.
64	** Tsali the Ultimate Weapon, who is actually forty years old but in a ten-year old body. It's also justified, as he was roboticized into a combat android when he was ten.
65	* In ''Fanfic/SorrowfulAndImmaculateHearts'', Diana is centuries old but looks like she's in her twenties and acts that age, or even younger when she's in the grip of her enthusiasm about discovering new things they didn't have on Themiscyra. In "Christmas in Kansas", there's a running gag about Clark's parents considering Diana one of the youngsters and her reminding them she's actually older than they are.
66	* Lelouch in ''Fanfic/SoulChess'' is an unusual example. While all shinigami age slower, Lelouch doesn't age at all for almost 150 years due to a TimeyWimeyBall sending him back roughly that far after he dies. [[HilariousInHindsight Which makes it pretty funny when people he knew as children start looking older than him]].
67	* Fanfic/SunsetsIsekai: Sunset never visibly ages, despite owning the Isekai for [[spoiler:thousands of years]].
68	* Princess Jody from [[http://fav.me/d4a27sp Super Milestone Wars]] looks ten but she's actually over 1000 years old.
69	* ''Fanfic/SupermanHouseOfEl'': [[ComicBook/WonderWoman Diana]] tries to be cagey about her age, but lets slip that she's approximately 3,000 years old. She left Themyscira sometime in World War I, and has been making her way in Man's World ever since.
70	* [[spoiler: Chaos]] from the ''Fanfic/TamersForeverSeries'' fits the trope
71	-->'''Takato:''' So you're older than the Big Bang, huh?\
72	[[spoiler:'''Chaos:''']] Yeah, pretty much... hard to believe, huh?\
73	'''Ruki:''' Yeah, anyone would think you'd have matured by now...\
74	[[spoiler:'''Chaos:''']] ''Hey!''
75	* ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'': Shinji's teacher [[SpaceMarine Khenmu]] is over 10,000 years old. He's ageless due to being a genetically-engineered human.
76	* ''Fanfic/TheTruthBehindTheLie'' states that the Childlike Empress from ''Film/TheNeverendingStory'' is long-lived because she can [[Series/DoctorWho regenerate]].
77	* ''Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil'': While the age of the [[WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures Demon Sorcerers]] was never revealed in canon, Shendu reveals that if his memory serves him right, he and his siblings (they were all eight born around the same time) reach 1500 years in a decade or two.
78	* In Creator/AAPessimal's ''Literature/GoodOmens'' fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4996073/1/The-Viennese-Job The Viennese Job]]'', the two Immortals, demon Crowley and angel Aziraphile, are in Austria in the year 1908. Crowley's job is to befriend a [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler struggling young artist]] and steer him in the wrong direction. Thirty-seven years later, in the hell of Auschwitz, Crowley is genuinely guilty at what he helped bring about and in need of the sort of drink he last had on seeing the Inquisition at the height of its powers. He helps the Angel spring a death camp survivor from what has now become Soviet captivity. Ahaseurus, the Wandering Jew (see religion and mythology folder below), [[NightmareFuel whose Jewishness means he has suffered in the death camps, but whose immortality means he has been unable to die]].
79	* ''Fanfic/VowOfNudity'': Kay'la, a sea elf, is already 225 years old when she starts her adventure despite looking like a 30-something young woman. She later gets trapped in an accelerated time trap that zaps decades off her life in seconds, but emerges around a minute later looking exactly the same. Of course, this is all par for the course when it comes to elves.
80	* ''Fanfic/SparksAmongTheStars'': Ozma, even before coming to Remnant, was an old enough Planeswalker to have been the 11th Parun of Ravnica, which means he was, at ''minimum'', ten-thousand years old by the time of the Time Rift Crisis. When that resulted in him being thrown fifteen-thousand years into the past and arriving and transporting him to Remnant, he's easily one of the oldest living being in the multiverse. In fact, depending on how long passed between his first death and reincarnation, he may very well beat out Ugin and Nicol Bolas as the ''oldest'' beings in existence.
81	* In ''Fanfic/ZimTheWarlordIrkenReversion'', Zim casually reveals that he's 162 years old (163 following the six month TimeSkip early in the story). This makes Dib especially disgusted at the [[ShipTease budding attraction]] between him and Gaz ([[MayDecemberRomance who's only 13]]), though Zim is quick to point out in Irken years (and comparative lifespans) he's only 16.
