I think I speak for a lot of people when I say: HUH?

Huh?

Then he should have a Date of Birth...so what's the hubub about the guy's
age? Is he in his teens or is he in his 20's?

Huh? Why puke? There's only a few hundred million in Azlan, should we be
amazed that the kid came from there?

I think your missing a digit there. Or else a major amount of
credibility, since I have about seen as many uber-wunderkind as I can
stomach.

I would suppose not, since Questing, if you mean astral questing,
shouldn't tell you jack about what the guy likes to carry around, or hook
himself up to, tech has as much astral presence as stone, if not less. If
you want to imply the guy uses no cyberdeck that's an awefully weird/poor
way to do it. A very careful and well informed ascencing might tell you
wether or not they guy has any hardware in his cranium, but I doubt one
could tell a C^2 Deck from a high-end encephalon.
