ABOUT TITUS'S AGE (spoilers)

[wearingguess]

So Titus is 15 in the sense that he's existed as an independent being with his own awareness for 15 years, but he's not a regular human and doesn't age like one! (Here he is at 5 years old, and here he is at 14.) He is one of several magically created clones of Scheherazade, a 268-year-old woman who uses her immense magic and fragments of her own body to create numerous "spare bodies" like him. The original body and the clones all share a single life force/soul (in Magi terminology, they have the same rukh), but they have independent consciousnesses for the most part; at Titus's canon point, he doesn't have any of Scheherazade's memories, but he seems to share her magical expertise to some degree, as another character comments that his skill is like that of a magician with one or two hundred years of experience.

Regardless of how long they incubate or how long they survive in the world, all of Scheherazade's clones look equally youthful for their entire lives; instead of visibly "aging," they kind of just start falling apart. (Here's one at the tail end of her lifespan!) Titus himself will eventually gain an upgrade to Real Boy, more or less, but it's unclear whether he subsequently begins to age like a human—after a three-year timeskip, he doesn't seem to be any taller, and he still looks like this. (he WAS drawn looking a little bit older for like one chapter, but that chapter also included a flashback to "two years ago" in which he looked about the same amount older, and after that he kinda went back to looking the same as ever, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

Speaking of experience, as in life experience, Titus has very little! Although he's been self-aware for 15 years, he was only "born" into the world around one year ago; Scheherazade spoke to him and taught him things while he incubated, but during that time he had no contact with anyone else and didn't have the chance to actually see any of the things she told him about.

(At a later canon point, he will in fact gain all of Scheherazade's memories... so at that point he'll kind of also be 268. But for now, he's 15... but not 15 15. But 15.) (And there you have it.)

(ETA: he's now been here in Lunatia so long that he's more like 16 [but not 16 16] instead)

(Revenge of ETA: now that he's updated to the end of the manga, he's lived 18 years as himself [plus a bonus Lunatia year] and also has all of Scheherazade's memories!)

ABOUT TITUS'S GENDER (spoilers)

[wearingguess]

Titus is the magically created clone of Scheherazade, who is female! As he explains it, her clones are usually also female, but every once in a while one turns out male due to a mistake in its formation. So he has what would traditionally be classified as a "male body" (though his actual figure is rather effeminate) and thinks of himself as male. At the same time, he and Scheherazade both consider him to have the rukh (life force/soul) of a woman, since it's shared between the original Scheherazade and all of her clones.

BUT!... he also doesn't have a particularly entrenched conception/understanding of gender identity and politics to begin with! He's only had a year of exposure to Society, and before that, the only person who could have instilled any beliefs about gender roles/norms/etc. in him was Scheherazade herself... and she super doesn't give a shit about any of that because she believes that, as magi (and magi-adjacent), they've transcended worldly concerns like that entirely.

So, once again, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
