I'm with Fynn on mature characters. I wouldn't be opposed to playing a grandpa character. But playing a character older than like 21 is extremely rare as it is. So even playing someone in their late 20s or early 30s would be a breath of fresh air

I honestly think it'd be really amusing if the town's blacksmith had to put his hammer to use saving the town or something. Even more interesting if they didn't have a more workable trade. Have an Inn keeper be the only towns person willing to venture out and save the country or something. It doesn't always have to be teenagers willing and eager to help
