If you guys give me until tomorrow morning, my chars will be in the great plains.Edit: So I changed male character's skills a bit. He's now just "talented" with swords and can only identify "basic" fighting techniques. I can lower his skills more, but his pain resistance is one thing I don't want to give up, since it's the emphasis of his story and who he is.

Cool cool no worries. It's fine having him have the skills he did, if you want him to be older. 
Or lowering the skills as you have and keeping him young works too. Whichever suits you :sun 
It just felt a little bit of a stretch for me is all.
