This is something I've been curious about. I feel like it could make for a novel character. Is it possible to mod a child as being playable  though? I'm not quite an expert at modding the game, so I really wanted to ask if it should be doable before actually trying anything.

You could do it with creating a creature/race that have all the characteristics of a dwarf-child or human-child or anything else.

an "adventurous child" caste of the species, with low strength and slower running speed, perhaps.

I feel like it ought to be much simpler than that. The game already decides creature size based on age, and creature size dictates weapon wielding. Surely there must be a way to just change age. As I understand it, a retired adventurer eventually dies of old age unless they are biologically immortal, so by that logic, they have an age, else any retired adventurer persists indefinitely until struck down.

[TomiTapio]

Maybe someone has written a DFHack plugin to change a creature's age and size.
