I've been wondering for awhile if NRS ever clarified how or why Outworlders, and Edenians seem to be ancient but look young. Like they say Kitana and Jade are about 10,000 yrs old, so that would make Sindel and Bo Rai Cho considerably older. The thing is Bo and the Edenian ladies LOOK human enough, and it seems probable that Liu Kang and Kitana could procreate that is to say their physiologies would be close enough to do so.
So what is that?Does time pass differently for the realms i.e. Does say 10,000 of Outworld's years equal 20 of Earthrealm's or is 10,000 always 10,000 in either realm? ARE Outworlders and Edenians humanlike, but not human? Are they really immortal or age slower than an Earthrealm human or would Kitana if she moved to Earthrealm age in Earthrealm years? Is it magic or natural?I'm just trying to figure out how the time/age thing works, and if that means they're not really human at all.

Rain's MKA bio explained that the reason Edenians age so slow is their ancestors mated with gods. So there's just a touch of immortal in their bloodlines.

As far as we know, time passes at the same speed in Outworld and Edenia as it does on Earth.

Outworlders...well, Bo' Rai Cho is the only one we've met yet who's really old. We don't know why and we don't actually know how old he is, over 550 at least since he trained Great Kung Lao...but that's nothing compared to 10,000. Maybe Outworlders are just...long-lived naturally, like Elves in fantasy stories. Since Outworld is the land of monsters and dragons, y'know?

Or maybe Bo's unique compared to the rest of his race. Li Mei for example is also an Outworld native but seems to be as young as a human of the same physical age would be, based on her character arc being all about naiveté and youthful innocence, whereas all the characters who've lived a long time like Bo' and Kitana are depicted all wise and experienced.
