I have no particular formula or anything for how much time I consider to have passed at SL during RL time, I do it case by case mainly.
Aging thing I got around with genetics though, which amusingly ended up kinda becoming the main shtick of my boys. Outside of one who's both not related and all normal...well unless you count recent massive surgery and gene therapy to save his life, all of em are a family tree and look older than they are.
Longass story, nutshelled their DNA is such an unstable/incomplete mess that it makes the body burn out trying to compensate, which in turn causes significantly hastened aging. I have since then IC-developed a kind of "cure" for this that stabilizes the genetics, slowing aging relatively to normal if not even slower, amusingly wasn't even my idea originally, Ryouchiha and his wife whose name I keep forgetting brainstormed it and I later perfected when they disappeared.
Only downside is that such significant remodeling is obviously tremendously stressful on the body, so try give that to a kid and they're just gonna die from the fever alone, let alone other possible temporary sicknesses.
Live through it though and you end up with cases like a 18-20 year old looker, yet has only been around 5-7. Creates some amusing RP having the mind/brain trying to catch up and have the person not looking like a severely out of place freak...at least when things don't go horribly wrong that is.
