Somehow or other this topic briefly came up in chat, and it got me thinking.
Being elderly in mizahar would be a difficult task to undertake, and probably unsocial as almost all of your threads would need to be flashbacks just to keep up with everyone's character development. Your skills wouldn't reflect your age either. I think that's what pushes people subconciously to create young characters here. I might open a discussion thread. feel free to comment, or whatever, I like hearing what others think.
