Just wondering why the base Amarr male models all look to have more wrinkles and look so much older then their counterparts in the other races? This is especially true for the Amarr-Amarr, they look to be at least 20 years older then the other races. Is there a specific reason for this, because I've been attempting to make my Amarr character look around early to mid 30s, and its damn near impossible.
Here is a link to some comparison images for those that don't believe me. http://www.wtfpwnbbq.com/Incursion/

Because a young Amarrian is a worthless Amarrian.

Have you looked at the old avatars? All of them look quite old.
Also one of the short stories of eves backstory describe the reason, as aging is described as a sign of maturity and stature.

Yeah, as I said I have a current Amarr character that I am redoing, but due to the lack of detail in the older models he looked significantly younger. And I get the idea with the whole Amarr back-story valuing age and wisdom, but its not like the race doesn't exist till they get older. That detracts from those within the race that rebel against the ideals of the empire.

Pretty much this. CCP doesn't want people roleplaying anything but what the cultural norms of their initial race and bloodline dictates, so they limit the options you can choose to just those. The amarr see old age as a sign of power and prestige, so the young try to imitate and fake signs of old age.

^^ What he said.
Amarrian folks will go to great lengths to look older, as it is the prevailing style among them, and has been so for hundreds of years.
