Hello uhm can i ask u the age of ikemen revolution boys? Thank you
Hello〜! Sure :)
These are the confirmed ages from youngest to oldest.
(Child) Oliver - Appearance age 13 years old. (Adult form age implied to be in his 20s. More details on his age under the cut due to route spoilers)
Loki - 19 years old
Zero - 23 years old
Kyle - 23 years old
Fenrir - 24 years old
Ray - 24 years old
Luka - 25 years old
Edgar - 25 years old
Seth - 26 years old
Harr - 27 years old
Jonah - 27 years old
Mousse - 27 years old
Lancelot - 29 years old
Sirius - 30 years old
Dalim - *Estimated to be 31 years old (calculation details under the cut)
Dean - *Estimated to be 31 years old (calculation details under the cut)
Levie - At least 100 years old
Blanc - X centuries years old (confirmed to be older than Levie)
.
.
Oliver - In Oliver's route it was revealed that after the time reversal magic was casted on his body on the day he arrived at Cradle but his body negated it, his body has stopped aging... By the end of the day, through his form switching, his body reverts to the state it was on the day he arrived at Cradle.

Tweedles - As much as they deny being "twins", they are. Which means the calculation for their ages apply to both of them. In addition, IkeRev's 4th election story (feat. Jonah, Luka, Sirius, and Dalim) implied Dalim to be "the younger sibling" because "someone" acts like "the older sibling" with him just like Sirius acts.
In addition, IkeRev TW fanbook had Zero spilling some teas on Dean. In TW fanbook, Zero said back when he was studying at the boarding school, Dean was a university student but he often came to help teach at the boarding school.
Zero started the boarding school when he was 14, he is now 23. While Sirius is now 30. This age gap of 7 years is a crucial indicator because Dean was apparently also teaching at the boarding school while Sirius, Harr, and Lancelot were a student there. However, Dean could've been a teaching assistant (TA) then and not a full time teacher.
University students are 18-22 years old.
Max age university student age - Zero's youngest age when he started boarding school = 22 - 14 = 8 years gap
Min age university student age - Zero's youngest age when he started boarding school = 18 - 14 = 4 years gap
So the oldest Tweedles probably is = Zero's current age + 8 = 23 + 8 = 31 years old
While the youngest Tweedles could be is = Zero's current age + 4 = 23 + 4 = 27 years old (same age as Harr. But Harr said Dalim is older than him so we can safely remove this from the option)
Further more, Dean taught Sirius.
Dean could be 18-19 (the youngest a university student working part-time/intern as a teacher/TA could be) when he was teaching Sirius (17-18), Lancelot (16-17), and Harr (14-15).
Considering this, and the calculation from earlier, the age gap assuming Dean started teaching Sirius (17) when he was 18, and by the time Zero entered the boarding school 4 years later (14) Dean is still in university (22)... everything aligned.
Thus, it is highly likely that the Tweedles are both 31 years old (with Dalim possibly being the younger twin).
I felt that I did the genderbent verison of Elbert not that good so... I decided to just do a full body concept art as well as a small comic at the end of the post. 🩵
The idea of the comic here is that Elbert is asking Alfons to cut her hair because she wasn't allowed to (and it was getting a little long).
This isn't second part of the genderbent post btw! This is kinda like 1.5 basically 💀💀 But do expect something similar in this post that will be in the second part!
Finally got the genderbent versions of Galileo and Drake done from Ikevamp!
I decided to move that chest piece they had on them and moved it to their corset instead as you see in the second pic. It’s been a hot minute since I drew women anatomy, so it might look janky… 😔✊

Erm this is the first oc writings I'm posting here, as I said its a rough draft, needs stuff to be added. This is set PRIOR to the death of Keith's mother, roughly around the time Keith develops DID. Honestly I'm still working on a timeframe for it all. Selene, and Aurélie, are also cousins to Chevalier Michel.
Ever since the death of Queen Michel, since Aurèlie moved away; Selene had felt adrift in the royal courts. Chevalier and Clavis were growing into men, who would aid governing the country; even if they had contrasting ideals. The younger princes were filling their shoes of defending their country, becoming educated and fulfilling their roles.
And she…forgotten or at the very least swept away. It had always been this way, for as long as she could remember. Inadequate. Clumsy. Useless. Of course the courts had attempted to marry her off but, not even the most desperate men wanted something damaged. An eye sore, the last had said. An embarrassment to the Michel lineage.
So when she has been invited to become Lady in Waiting to the Queen of Jade, Elizabeth Howell. They had been quick to send her away; dressed in simple clothing where one could mistake her for a maid or perhaps a commoner. A thin sandy coloured veil obscured her face. That had always been the way, she was obscured whilst Aurèlie was positioned front of centre. It was the way it must be, she was a failure–a stain.
Glancing out of the carriage window, Selene felt her shoulders drop in sorrow. Of course she knew this day would always come, being the eldest daughter meant she would leave home one day. Sent away under the guise of marriage. However this felt so rushed. No goodbyes exchanged between herself, Prince Chevalier and Prince Clavis. No send off like Aurèlie received, no celebrations of marriage and potential children. She has merely been stuffed into a carriage, with very little luggage.
This made her realise she meant very little at all.
Inadequate. To be recognised by a Queen was an honour miles above her station.
As the passing scenery came to a stop, Selene sat up a tad straighter, glancing down at her skirts. This dress was ill fitting and so bare, brown and beige with nothing appreciating her figure or status. Not that she deserves it, she didn't know why it still stung, even after all this time.
A quiet click of the carriage door lock, followed by a subtle screech allowed sunbeams to spill across wooden flooring. Sighing to herself Selene stood, head bowed, whilst searching for a hand to guide her down. It was gentle but firm in grip, but oddly careful all the same. Somehow it felt familiar but…she did not recall meeting anyone personally from Jade.
Once her feet found the cobbled ground beneath, Selene lifted her head, now blinking owlishly at a pair of warm amber eyes. “Prince Keith?” She remembered him vaguely, at the Rodohlitan Palace, he had guided her through a crowd to the balcony. Under the guise of also needing a break from sneering nobles. They had spoken very little but there was a comfort in such a brief interaction.
For a long moment Selene merely stared, head craning backwards ever so slightly. Followed by a hesitant step back to study him properly, she had always been relatively tall for a woman but Prince Keith was…very tall. He was sort of like a woodland creature, all long limbs that he seemed to be growing into. She doubted even Chevalier was as tall as Keith was.
Glancing down, Selene’s lashes fluttered as she stared at their conjoined hands. His was much, much larger than his own, engulfing hers easily. “Oh!” Gasping softly, Selene snatched her hand away, head bowing despite the veil. “I apologise, Prince Keith, it was unbecoming of me to stare.”
“No, no please Princess Selene allow me to apologise–I did not ask permission before taking your hand.” Prince Keith quickly interjected, attempting to take all of the blame.
Of course she was the one to make a Prince apologise. One to ruin everything, every time. She never should have come here. Locked away, that's where she should have been, hidden away. Never to see daylight.
An awkward silence settled over them, she couldn't see his expression but Selene could tell Keith wasn't staring. Perhaps he was staring at the ground too, which didn't quite make sense he was a Prince after all. Then again, she had not seen him at many parties–not that she went to many. It was quite possible they had missed each other but…
“Would you like me to take your bags, Princess Selene?” Prince Keith asked, his hand rested upon his breast pocket, a gentle smile warming his features. “My attendant is preparing your room, so if you don't mind I'll take your bags…erm bag.” He offered another polite smile, gingerly picking up the singular case she had placed a few things in. “Please, follow me Princess.”
Falling into step beside Prince Keith, she tried not to oogle at the Jadian Palace. Somehow it felt just as lonely as the Rhodolian Palace, yet somehow warmer. Everything had earthy tones rather than the prestige white, red and shades of pink at home. Home. It hardly felt like that, beneath her veil she grimaced.
“Will the rest of your luggage be arriving later in the week?” Keith questioned, “This one doesn't feel very heavy.” His tone was almost knowing, gentler than anyone had ever spoken to her in a long, long time.
Slowly, Selene shook her head. “No, that's all I was given.” Subtly she sighed, staring straight ahead as they neared a room with a young man waiting outside. “I don't have many things in the Rhodolian Palace.”
The two came to a stop just outside a room, a young man wearing a simple uniform with the national colours of Jade sprinkled in. His expression was quite relaxed, though there was a hint of something curious as he glanced between them. “You must be Dutchess Selene, it's a pleasure to meet you.” He greeted, “I am Liam, Prince Keith's attendant.”
“Liam, this is Princess Selene.” Keith began, glancing at her, “Ah I apologise for my attendant mixing up your status, Princess Selene, please forgive me–”
“No, Liam is right. I'm only a Dutchess.” Selene interjected, stiffening at her own rudeness before continuing. “I'm very sorry for not saying anything earlier. It is my sister, Aurèlie, who is the Princess, not me.” Ever so slightly Selene dipped her head in apology. A selfish part of herself didn't want to correct him, it was nice to be referred to as a ‘princess’ , a sense of importance that she couldn't achieve rested upon her shoulders. Though Liam had inadvertently snuffed it out.
“Dutchess Selene I'm so sorry! How did something like that slip my mind, it's because I'm so stupid. I hope I haven't embarrassed you.” He bowed his head, a sad frown taking over his lips. “I don't wish to belittle you, it was a mistake–no I shouldn't make excuses, I'm just a weedy, useless Prince, please forgive me.”
To hear a young man of higher standing than herself offering such genuine, if not somewhat pathetic, apology. Gave Selene pause, she blinked slowly, taking in the countless apologies mixed with self deprecation with a mixture of concern and shock. She didn't enjoy seeing him like this however seeing the earnestness of the apologies did ease a deep, gaping wound inside herself.
Offering an awkward smile that didn't reach her eyes beneath the veil, Selene took a slight sore back. “No, no. I apologise, it was selfish of me to not inform you sooner, I'm so ashamed. Please forgive me, Prince Keith.” The initial warmth of being called princess was already fading away, replaced by a cold stiff pit in her chest. “Honestly, I'm so self absorbed for thinking I hold a position similar to my sister.”
“Please don't apologise to a weedy Prince like me.”
“Please don't apologise to an inadequate person such as myself.”
Silence. A beat of recognition. They had said essentially the same thing. Hearing Keith calls himself weedy made her feel sort of awful inside, a twist of an invisible knife. Keith had indirectly made her feel so important, if not a little inflated, hearing him say he was ‘weedy’ and ‘stupid’ felt worse than it should have.
“How about you accept each other's apologies?” Liam interjected coolly, “Then perhaps Duchess Selene would like to join Prince Keith for lunch, the cooks are preparing a chicken broth with various vegetables and home-cooked bread.” Effortlessly Liam smoothed over the situation, though his expression seemed a little exasperated.
