I am very much interested in this thread. I was wondering if I could possibly lead a group of younger kids, the oldest being 18 or so. The leader may have been in an orphanage or something and led the other kids out. And then collected the younger kids that some survivors probably wouldn't want. Also, a trait idea, not sure if you already have it, but a diplomat, who helps negotiates with other groups and factions.

Sure that'd be fine with the whole group of kids thing. 

As for the diplomat, I'd rather leave diplomacy to the players in the IC.
