My headcanons for StEx characters' ages. (You know... if they were human.)
(I already posted this over a year ago, but it was in a reblog, so I figured I'd post it as it's own original post. I'm just copying & pasting everything I wrote before.)
Okay, so for me, (original) StEx takes place on March 27th, 1984.
Dinah: 23. Dinah really gives me that “Youngest of the coaches" vibe, and knowing that Frances Ruffelle and Jane Krakowski were both 18 when StEx debuted in London and on Broadway (respectively) and Natalie Howard was 21 when StEx debuted in Bochum definitely adds to that vibe for me. (To me, she’s a Pisces, and would’ve very recently had her 23rd birthday.)
Greaseball: 32 or 30, but he’s almost 33 or 31 because I headcanon him as an Aries. I was feeling that Greaseball is a bit older than Dinah, but once I learned that Elvis & Priscilla have a 10-year age gap, I was like, “Yeah, that tracks.” (No pun intended.) But then I thought (literally while writing this), "Hmm, does G.B. seem almost 33?" Even with Jeff having been 36 when StEx debuted, Greaseball gives me more of a 29-31 vibe? Idk for sure now! 🤷🏽♀️ My headcanon is that he & Dinah have been together for almost 2 years.
Rusty: 24 or 25. I’m not entirely solid on his age yet.
Pearl: 26. I know people usually see Pearl as quite young, but I'm feeling 26 exactly from, like, every version I've seen of her.
C.B.: 25. Or 26.
Ashley: 30. I read that Ash is like “the big sister” of the girls, while I feel like Dinah is the little sister.
Buffy: 28.
Electra: 29-31.
Volta: 29.
Joule: 24 or 25. She has that younger energy; I don’t mean physical energy, I mean in her personality.
Poppa: 65-70.
Belle: 53-57.
The Rockies: 24.
Dustin: 23 or 24.
Flat-Top: 20. He definitely has the vibe of being the youngest, and I’ve read him described as quite young.
2nd & 3rd Class Sleepers: 26-27.
Duvay: 27. (I’ve gotten the headcanon that she is Ash’s younger sister, which is why I am including her.)
...
I don’t care about the new Belle or Carrie or Killerwatt. I haven’t thought about the ages for Krupp, Wrench, or Purse; I honestly... don’t pay much attention to those 3. 😬 👀

Face Claim/Voice Claim: Leon Maurice-Jones with Andreas Wolfram's 2007-2011 wig (face), Mykal Rand (voice)
Favorite Song(s)/Scene(s): AC/DC and No Comeback
Favorite Costume(s): Broadway/pre-2018 Bochum costume!
Favorite Ship(s): Frozen Lightning (Electra x Volta), Electronents (Electra x Components), and while I'm not crazy over it, I have a soft spot for Electraboose.
Headcanon: Because of the heart monitor on his chest, Electra pretty much can't lie, because his heart rate will give away if he's being honest or not.
Unpopular Opinion: Electra is canonically genderfluid so the idea of just making him exclsuively female or feminine presenting takes that aspect away from him. Same with making him exclusively male or masculine presenting. Electra's supposed to be all over the gender spectrum, you know? /lh /nm
