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

I agree with both of you on this one, why not let a guy with a family decide he will go to make sure his kids are safe from what ever looms in the shadows.
That sort of reminds me of how Luke Skywalker was originally written in the first draft of Star Wars. He was going to be as old as Obi-Wan and being a very seasoned veteran. Granted that film worked since it needed a young character full of questions as an audience surrogate.

Anyway, I would also be down with an experienced character at the helm.
