The games I've played in the past tend to give you a character of a
particular age... D&D for instance, if you're creating a 1st level
character, assumes they're going to be in their late teens or early
20s (a bit more for Wizards, perhaps) RuneQuest starts you at 15+2D6,
Traveller has a sort of law of diminishing returns making for a lot of
PCs in their late 20s or early 30s. My Vampire characters have tended
to be younger than me when "embraced" but that's only appearance.
What some of us noticed a few years ago was that we'd had such a long
gap in our RuneQuest campaign that while the players had started out
younger than their characters, they had now passed them...
