Why not just change the age? Why is that so hard....

The character was designed with the age in mind. I wanted an older, grizzled character, and the age suits him. Even if I played someone similar but youthful, I'd still go early twenties at the youngest, because I don't want to be confined to a high school. Seriously, high school sucked. You're attributing 8-10 hours of the in-game day to sitting in classes/club activities that the game isn't really focused on.
