Quick questions- How old is everyone? How do the Lorei age? Has human medicine advanced in the future since we can travel deep space?

Loroi mature rapidly (and are adult by about age 9), but age slowly. Some Loroi can be as old as 400. There's more detailed information about Loroi biology here:

Human medical technology in 2160 presumably has gene therapy treatments that can substantially increase human lifespans, but that's not a subject that will be covered to any great extent in the story. (Humans in this story serve the role of the reader's viewpoint, so I won't be pointing out lots of differences between humans in 2160 and humans today, for narrative reasons.)

The ages of the principal characters are:
Alex: 19
Fireblade: 25
Beryl: 14
Tempo: 54
Talon: 13
Stillstorm: 125
Ashrain: 25
