Odo accidently killed another changeling in DS9 'The Adversary', the first changeling to ever kill another, that was why his shape-shifting powers were removed.

yes...
I remember shapeshifters are shown to turn into a pile of ashes when they die.

I don't remember any reference to Founders aging.
Eismith, why do you have that unspeakable person WC in your Avatar?

We don't have many dates for Odo at all:
we don't know when he was sent off into the Galaxy as an infant by the Founders;
we don't know when he arrived in the Alpha Quadrant or was found in the Denorios belt;
we don't even know when he was studied by Dr. Mora Pol at the Bajoran Insitute of science;
We do know that he met Gul Dukat in 2363 and began working as Security Chief on Terok Nor (DS9) in 2365.

Some things that we do know about Odo:
Odo was known to go kayaking with O'Brien, and to read detective novels. Quark also once caught him reading a romance. A speech of Odo's in "A Man Alone" might be interpreted to mean that he liked Karo-Net and Earth jazz. Odo never learned to gamble, and apparently did not care for Klingon opera. He was an adept reader of body language, and never carried a weapon even as part of his job. For the first two seasons, he had no quarters, resting instead in a bucket in the back of his office. Spiritually, he was an agnostic. His blood type, while he was human, was O-negative.
The that name Odo ultimately went by, Odo, was derived from the label on the beaker he firt rested in: "odo'ital", Cardassian for "unknown sample", or, literally, "nothing". Odo was studied by Dr. Mora, who saw to his education, and he tried to fit in by using his shapeshifting abilities to entertain others. Eventually Odo learned to take humanoid form.
After being the main attraction at a reception for the Cardassian High Command, Odo had an argument with Dr. Mora, and left the research center. He apparently spent some time in the mines, where he was often asked to settle disputes among the Bajorans, as he was considered a neutral observer. Then Odo was forced by Gul Dukat to investigate the murder of Vaatrik; his first criminal case. Kira was the prime suspect, but he let her go when she convinced him she was elsewhere committing sabotage at the time. He later discovered that she was responsible.
Odo became chief of security on Terok Nor, and once arrested three Bajorans -- Timor, Ishan, and Jillur -- for an assassination attempt on Gul Dukat. After they were executed, Odo discovered evidence that they had been innocent. He deeply regretted the incident, which probably motivated his dedication to justice above the rule of law. Odo remained as security chief when Starfleet took the station over.

Neo, I have loads of books, most of which I already posted here:
http://www.ascifi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=4186
The best buy has to be the CD-ROM since for only £5, it came with some other software that I needed and a magazine, is usually £30, and is packed full of stuff, more easily searched than a book, plus it has audio and video clips.
I also have a lot of magazines and videos.

If you could really look like anyone you wanted, why would you look like someone had melted your face?
And wouldn't you rather look like George Clooney or Jennifer Lopez, or someone who wins awards for looking Hot!

probably the main reason was so we couldn't see how old Rene Auberjonis actually is I saw him recently in "Frasier" and he looks like he's in his 50's.. I don't think that was the look they were going for with Odo
On a similar note Dukat as a Bajoran was just a little *too* realistic with his not too perfect skin...

I wasn't asking that question seriously!
The real reasons are that:
If you could be who you wanted, Odo would be someone different every day.
i) This would be too confusing for viewers.
ii) The writers could get out of any plot situation by having Odo impersonate another character.
iii) It would cost too much to pay all the other actors.
iv) Rene Auberjonois would have a very small part.
And the reason, often given in the show:
Odo says that he is 'not very good at doing faces'.
