Does anyone know exactly how old Ratchet is in...
@spaceoutcat shout out to you because fam that is some god level knowledge shit right there! So damn, our Lombax could be anywhere from 21-32?
It’s more like he is both 21 and 32 at the same time. It’s not a range - it’s two solid numbers based on different rotations. It makes no sense but at the same time it does.
Basically: Polaris Calendar: 18 Months Earth Calendar: 12 Months
I assume that the timeline, which I linked previously but here it is again (http://ratchetandclank.wikia.com/wiki/G2.14.173), is based with the Polaris calendar in mind. For all intents and purposes, Ratchet IS 21. If you put him anywhere else, he will probably and most likely say he is 21 because he’s lived in a galaxy/collection of galaxies that run on an 18-month calendar.
If a human tested his physiology (or something sciency like that), a human would declare him to be 32. He is still 21, but based on Earth’s rotation and calendar, he would be considered 32 by anyone with a 12-month calendar. Does... that make more sense...? @zombiy (sorry I’ve never talked to people on tumblr so I don’t know how this works and if i actually need to tag you for you to see this or what)
