Please no though. Sera doesn't make sense to be in the inner circle, she is a wild card and too hyperactive. I just don't get why any actual leader would trust her in the inner circle.

I don't want a repeat of that.

 

 

Each gang needs a wildcard though. :P

 

Gotta say I was super impressed with the facial animation on this young asari, as short as that clip was.

I never got the reason that just because someone is young (whatever that may mean), they are automatic naive and blue eyed.

There are kids that has been through things that have made them jaded and more "mature" (aka cynical) then most adult.

Jaded and cynical is not Liara when we meet her in ME1. While she may be a so-called expert on the protheans (which we eventually found out wasn't the case at all), she was young and naive in the ways of the world/galaxy. This thread is titled "The New Liara?".....if this new asari is the new Liara, I am simply expressing my lack of interest/enthusiasm of having anothing go at that kind of character, and especially one that appears to be even younger than the good doctor.

40 to 60 seems to be the age range where they reach adulthood. Liara had been working as an archaeologist for 50 years in ME1, which puts her at 56 when she started her career. Since she had a university degree, she was presumably in college during her early to mid 50s. There is an Asari on Illium that can be overheard saying she's 60 years old and finally moving out of her parents house, but the way she phrases that might indicate she remained home longer than usual. Samara states that Morinth left home in her 40s, but adds that she was very young, which might mean that Morinth left at an age that wasn't typical. It's possible Morinth was the Asari equivalent of a teen runaway.

 Liara isn't your typical asari in her line of work. For all intents and purposes she could've been far more advanced than her asari peers. Maybe even a prodigy. ME1 suggests that others don't respect her theories due to her age. As for the 60 year old on Illium, maybe that's the typical age to move out of your parents house, and she just sounds like anybody 18+ that's been fed up with living under their parents roof and rules for some time. 

 

It's all pretty much speculation. There's too little to reference or compare.

You might be right, but I was just speculating as well. The only thing we can say for certain is that they reach adulthood sometime between 40 and 60 years, and that Liara was a young adult In ME1.

Personally I'd prefer 50 or so to be the age they reach adulthood however, rather than Liara having a backstory as a child prodigy. She's already got enough characteristics to make her stand out from other Asari without also being Doogie Hauser, PH.D.

 Maybe the asari don't even think of the term "adult" the same as humans do. They do live 1000+ years. Who's to say the matrons and matriarchs of asari society don't look at maidens like some young and dumb lost souls....

 

 

Either way, my dislike for "the new asari" as I said before, is that she appears even more youthful than Liara. Much more, actually. I was just hoping for an asari with a couple more hundred years of grit and experience this time around.

I don't know if Asari "children" shouldn't be earning the equivalent of PhDs. I mean, they've got to be doing something with their time, I doubt they're supposed to be stupid, and they've still had 50 years to learn things.

Asari ages shouldn't map smoothly onto any human age equivalent, because you can't just stretch out childhood, puberty or young adulthood without changing them. If you've got 45 years of learning and life experience you're not the same as a human teenager, even if physiological and social factors mean your not really the same as a human adult either.

Argh, unclear exposition has been confusing people for nearly a decade on the sexuality of the asari.

 

The asari are an all-female species that reproduces via a form of parthenogenesis. They are not an asexual species, as is clearly evident from their bevy of primary and secondary sexual characteristics, which are likely evolutionary holdovers from an ancestral species that reproduced in a more conveniently sexual manner.

 

Well, I disagree but thats my view of it. In my opinion Asari don't use concept of gender differences. This was also stated in one of the Mass Effect books I read long time ago. They all look like a woman but they are not a women in our understanding. It's all confusing I think it should be more clearly explained because I can see it can be a arguable topic.

I don't think so and I don't like the design either. I can't articulate why it looks off aside from looking like its face below the nose looks masculine, squared or pointed even.

There's the difference between gender and sex. The asari don't have the same concept of gender identity and such that other species do, which is why "woman" and "man" wouldn't really have any meaning for them, but sexually speaking, they're female.

Liara was the equivalent of an Asari teenager when we met her. She was 103 years into a 1000 year lifespan. As much as I liked Liara, I don't need another naive Asari attempting to fill her shoes. As far as this new Asari goes (with the skid-marked, baby fat face)....she looks like a pre-teen in human years. And if that's the case, she's a damn infant in Asari terms. I don't see how babysitting Asari kids is such an awesome change from the trilogy. But I guess everybody has their thing....


If you take 1000 and divide it by 74 (around the average age of a man or a woman) you get 13.4.

Then, take 106 and divide it by 13.4, you get 7.9. That will give you her age in human years.

So, I mean it would still be interesting to see a child of a human and an Asari going through the infancy years, especially with all the Liara love that's going around.

I don't think it works quite like that (or at least hope it doesn't).

If it did, raising an asari baby would mean looking at a stack of diapers ~ 20 years high.
