Now we'll finally put an end to the age-old query; How old will Dovahkin be?

18-30 if female, definitely.

If male, I like to have the appearance of a harmless old hermit with bright white hair and a long beard. May as well add a grey pointed hat too.

I think he will just be a young, self-trained dragon hunter trying to make his way in the world.

Yes they are. You've obviously never watched any TV shows or movies. Old people always save the day.

That's a hard question, if i was a warrior i would have my Dragonborn is gonna be young, but if i'm gonna be a mage, he's gonna be the oldest possible making him the arch mage of arch mages

With a male character I tend to make him very, very close to myself, so 18-30 is what he'll be for another year or 3.... As for female characters I tend to play them in a way I find them attractive, again, 18-30.

My character went through all four games, so he got quite old by the end of it. This one, of course, must be fresh so I would place him probably around 23 or so.

I have no idea what age my characters will be until I actually make them. I will most likely use the entire spectrum.

same age range as me, easier to connect with it. (oddley, i can connect with characters my age, or really old ones.)
and it also puts it in the prime of it's life.

(i don't know life-spans of none-humans, not entirely relevant, but can any of you help?)

I make more than one character.. But I think my first one will be 18-30, but it won't really show, 'cause he's an argonian.

17-21 is probably my age group that my characters will be based off of.

Well, Telvanni Sorceror http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Divayth_Fyr, a Dunmer, was pretty old: "He appears to be the oldest mortal character in the game - according to Alfe Fyr he is 4000 years old"
