|introduction=The {{boldmono|AGE}} verb can be used to set a character's age, description, and birthday. Once a character's age and/or birthday are set, it can only be reset via [[SimuCoin#Regular Items|SimuCoin]] items. It is not considered an active [[roleplay]] verb as it serves a more passive role in how a character may be portrayed or viewed by others.
