As I understand it, that rule applies to humans. For non-human characters, we consider whether they're sexually mature for their species.

And clones of humans having undergone rapid mental and physical maturation would count as "non-human" in this case?

It may not be obvious if taken literally, but the policy is about character appearances and mental age. Someone who is Born as an Adult cannot be seen as a real child.

^ Gotcha. That's what I was hoping was the case, but given that it is an administrivia page, I wanted to ask how literal it was before I accidentally did something against policy.

The rule is basically just outlawing CP. Characters who are intended to be seen as adults don't violate the rule.

^ Gotcha. It's what I figured but, again, wanted to be on the safe side.

Locking this.
