Do we have any idea on the ages of the main cast?

[Darkus]

Like how old are the 4 main humans? I mean, Shiki and Rebecca are drawn the same as Natsu and Lucy, who are in the late teens, 19 at most, so I would assume Shiki is around 17/18, Rebecca is 18, Weisz is 20 and Homura is 19. Any other possible/accurate guess? I see some people say Rebecca looks younger than Lucy, but I don't see it as shown in the HEROES manga

 

[Jean Grey]

I'll give Shiki 16/17.

15 years ago, Hermit met humans and wanted to help them

Spoiler

when Ziggy released the Shining Stars, Shiki was a baby

Spoiler

we'll give it a benefit of doubt and say that it took Hermit a year or two to find humans so Shiki would be 16 or 17 because 15 is too young.

Rebecca activated her Cat Leaper 10 years ago in a car accident that "killed" Happy and she looked like she was 6 or 7 (typical Shounen years look) so she is 16 or 17.

5 years ago, Valkyrie disappeared and Homura looked like she was in mid puberty so she was around 13 or 14 years old so she is around 18 or 19.

as for Weisz, he is around 20.

How about 18 for Rebecca/Shiki

Also, does Rebecca look younger than Lucy from Fairy Tail? I heard people say this but they look the same to me age wise

maybe but based on timeline, 16/17 is more likely (at least for Shiki) but I think 18 is possible cause I don't see old Weisz giving Rebecca ship until she is a grown up.

based on Heros, they look around the same.

That could be right. What is "bothering" me is that Elsie was with Ziggy and the others 10 years ago, and it was just for a few weeks.
She said Shiki was just a baby at that time.

Shiki could be a "baby" until 4 or 5 years at max. That said, now he would be around 15.

Something isn't right in this..
Hope isn't a plothole. Going by how Mashima is dealing with EZ, I think it's not. It's just that for now it's strange. I've looked the chapters again, and it seems exactly what I understand.

Maybe in the RAWs I can understand better. Could be something about translation too.

Edit*
Yeah.. The japanese RAW says the same. "Juusunen" (Ten long years).

technically, Elsie never said when she met them, only that she met Shiki 10 years after she was alone on EZ ship.

however, the 10 year thing would go along with Chapter 1

Spoiler

Which doesn't make sense since Ziggy left for Granbell when he released the Shining Stars and Elsie while Shiki was still a baby

Spoiler

Hermit met with humans 15 years ago

Spoiler

so technically it's a plot hole unless baby Shiki is 5 years old which doesn't makes sense as you can see.

my guess is that bots on Granbell said 10 years ago as in approximately rather than a fact but it didn't really sound like that.
