So, I do want people’s characters to start in the younger ages (around the age ranges a Genin would be in the actual universe).
If you want something older right away, you will have to speak to the GM/group in creation to guide this roleplay nicely into a dazzling horizon.

I would presume that operating off the quoted opening post, the GM is open to older, more experienced characters- so long as they help guide the narrative(Likely as teachers for the younger characters I presume). Going off the wording, it's likely something to be handled over PMs with the current GM team; @Zora and @Reflection (As far as I know).
