I think you may be reading more into it than you need to. I tend to make
my characters in their early 20s because that's the age I think most
people will start their shadowrun career. There are of course
exceptions: 2 otakus of age ~16 and a company (notice I said nothing of
formere ;) who was approaching 30.
