How old is Rayman?

[Mylifeisinsane]

I've been trying to work that out since I got R.R.R for Christmas. I personally think he's about..13, 14. (He doesn't look very old.

[Gisli92]

He's 13.

[Xenon09]

It's difficult to judge because he's the only of his kind.

I'd say: R1 11, R2 19, R3 22, RR 22.

[serza5]

R1 : 7-9, R2 : 13-14, R3 : 15-17, RRR : 18

[Mylifeisinsane]

Hmm...<watches videos on youtube>
Uh
R1: 6 or 7 (He looks so CUTE!)
R2: 9 or 10 (or 11)
R3: 12 or 13
RRR: 13 or 14

[serza5]

He's not that young in R3 or RRR. ^^

[Mylifeisinsane]

Is he not? He looks it. (seriously, he looks like a teenager in RRR.

[minodragon]

About just as old as his dad.

Btw: The forum is FUGLY

No he looks older than 14.

[Rabox]

Hmmmm...

R1: Could be anywhere between like 6 and 400. Best guess 30

R2: Does Rayman have a 'normal' age? I sort of get the impression that his age isn't like human age, therefore he's probably lived many years but is equivalent to teen/young adult.

R3: I'd have to say 14.

RHR: Well, could easily be adult. More likely between 14 and 19.

RRR: No idea. Probably just... adult? IDK

RRR2 and 3: Sorry, haven't played these two, but I'm guessing I don't want and therefore will never know what age he appears to be on these two games http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[ultrarandomguy]

R1: dunno neva played that one

R2: about 13, same age as me

R3: he looks 17 to me

RHR: same age, since this happens straight after R3

RRR for the GBA: he looks 20

RRR for everything else: yeah 22 or something

Hey, hey, wait hold up! I can understand about not knowing his age, but only one of his kind? I thought that too, but I remember about Tarayman and the other citizens in Rayman 1? Oh, think about that...Maybe he's the only one of his kind left after 1 because of Admiral Razorbeard's killing of Rayman's land and people, why he kidnapped Rayman I have no clue...

[Rayman_Addict41]

They could hardly kill him off could they?
Although, RRR2 pretty much killed him...

I think he'd probably be about 12 in the first game. The other's, I have no clue.

Really? Hmmm...I quite remember picking Rayman in RRR2. I guess he was a zombie then. We all make mistakes.

The only thing to judge on would be his voice, and even with that it's quite difficult to tell.

(Sorry for the double post.)

[aeojrtfao]

He is certainly at least a teenager in R1 since he is as tall as all teh adults in the game, such as Tarayzan, the Magician, and the Musician and his wife. And he's taller than the Musician's son.
Sio those who think he is a small child....no, you're silly. Seriously, how would a five year old save the world anyway?

[Rayman_Addict41]

FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!
Do people here have no imagination?!
Don't forget, this is not the real world. And even if he is as tall as all those charecters, he isn't as tall as Ly. Is Ly a half-giant hybrid? I think not!
Anyway, consider Zathura. The boys in that are, like, seven and ten. They still manage to overcome all that! And there are plenty of reasons why Rayman is possibly a small child:

1: He's too cute. Seriously, you do not get teenagers that cute.
2: He pulls faces to try and scare his enemies off. That, and other examples of his actions, are based around the way he thinks. And in my opinion, he thinks in the same way as a boy who isn't any older than seven.
3: The little twirly, dancing thing at the end of each level/section. I think that if you saved the world as a teenager, you wouldn't be doing that.
(And yes, Sonic the Hedgehog does something like that in earlier games. SO WHAT?! This isn't Sonic we're on about.)

That's just my opinion. Everyone has theirs.

[Simina-Cindy]

Well, if we take it from the year Rayman was born (created), he's 14 right now. 'Cause he was created in 1994.

[Rayman_Addict41]

No offence, but he's be fifteen. 'cos it's 2009.
But that leads to another question-When's his birthday?

[Raydragon]

Wasn't he created in 1992?

[Rayman_Addict41]

That would make him...<counts on fingers>
17.
Sounds about right.

[aeojrtfao]

There is a very good reason Rayman is shorter than Ly. Ly has legs, Rayman doesn't.
Rayman's head is roughly the same size as Ly's, as is his body. However, his feet are very close to his body on account of his limblessness. He's like a dwarf in that respect. But he is still as tall as the adults in Rayman 1 and has a very deep, un-childlike voice.

[Rayman_Addict41]

I accept your points, but I'm still sticking to my theory. But, hey, the only person wh's 100% right about this is Michael Ancel.

[baba_944]

i think he's 18

[flyingrabids]

R1=6
R2=12
R3=18
http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Rayman_Addict41]

Your estimation isn't far off mine:

R1: 6
R2: 12
R3: 15
RRR: 16 and a half.

[flyingrabids]

Cool. I don't count any RRR games, since it's not part of the main series.

[Rayman_Addict41]

I know. He is still in it tho.

[aeojrtfao]

How can you think he is 6 in Rayman 1 when he has such a deep manly voice? In all the games he has a voice far deeper than any child. Hell, if his a child he would probably be voiced by a female voice actor like many fictional children such as Bart Simpson.
Seriously, when he says "Yeah" or "No problem" can you possibly imagine A five or six year old sounding like that?
And if he is that young he must be abnormally tall for someone of his species, as I stated above.
And one simple giveaway: His name is Rayman.

Also, your point about the twirly dance...I'd do that. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Rayman_Addict41]

Well, unless he changed it, it was always Rayman.

Did you read the manual? In the intro in the manual near the end of the intro Razorbeard says Rayman will be his most obedient slave. And in the game he was in the special area probaly because they wanted to break him into submission.

He's 18 or over. He's RayMAN not RayKID. (Hey that would be an awesome new character) Plus, it says in the Rayman 3 2D Madness minigame that "Sometimes Rayman remembers being a kid, when everything was in 2D." So there.

Hey, yeah that's a good reason

Yes well, Rayman was the name he was born with...

[GameboyN]

Originally posted by Mylifeisinsane:

What if he changed his name? That could be a possibility...

[Mylifeisinsane]

Good point. But I still think he's a child in R1. And R2. And a teenager in R3, RRR, RRR2, and RRRTP.

[Kizwiz2009]

I dunno sometimes he seems like anywhere from 13-30 to me cos a little kid saving the world just seems weird, well except link in zelda. But what about Globox? How old do you think he is? I'd say 40-50 as he is a father and seems big and fat.

[CoCoXo]

Seriously, for me, in Rayman 1 he look like a child, in Rayman 2 like an adult, in Rayman 3 he look like a teenager...

Well, you don't have to be 40-50 to be a father...or fat...

True but I dunno he just seems fat and old to me.

[RespectForArt]

How looks quite young but he sounds much older (at least his English voice in Rayman 3), it makes him sound middle-aged. I've alwyas tought him to be in his early 30's in the third game so he must be in his mid-20's in the first game. But then it makes Rayman's character more comical (in sad sense) if we presume he's a middle-aged bachelor. Oh well, it doesn't seem to bother him.

[GameboyN]

Anyways...
I think Rayman is a young adult. He sounds like one to me...

[Mylifeisinsane]

Me too. I always thought he'd be about 18 now...

[paperbaglady]

In moi opinion...
R1: 12 (the "YEAH!!!!" means NOTHING TO ME)
R2/RR: 15/16, possibly a bit older, his voice is no kid voice. It's kinda high cos his bodily size is diminutive compared to humans like us. Besides, whats a kid doing being best mates with a father of 650+?
R3: 17/18. People age.
All Rabbids games: 19/20. There's a certain level of youthful jack-the-lad-yness about him, like responsibilty hasn't quite come his way. My cousin's sleepin' under a park bench, I see Rayman doin' the same if his world was anything like ours.

Ok. What about the "No Problem" and the fact that he as just as tall as all of the games adults?
12 isn't too unreasonable to believe though.

[AbahaAgain]

From Wikipedia:
"His original story from the Atari Jaguar version of Rayman claims he was originally a boy named Jimmy, brought into his game and set in a world called Hereitscool to fight the evil."
From this we deduct:

R1 -> 9-12
R2 -> 15-16
R3 -> 17-18
RRR -> 19-20

It gives some background on Rayman though. Who he was supposed to be based on ( and still is, as a matter of fact, just a different setting ) and it also gives us a small glimpse of what his age is. Do you disagree? :P

[aeojrtfao]

On the matter of age, yes, because everything else points to him being older.

R1: 13-14
R2: 16
R3 and RR: 18
