I think children in Carcosa have to grow up very quickly if they want to survive. I doubt the adults would coddle them, given the scarcity of resources in the stting. So 1st-level characters in Carcosa may be younger than 1st-level characters in other settings, unless they are training to become sorcerers. YMMV, of course.

I had some backgrounds on my site. Most not as interesting as those you have posted. In my home brew rules I had backgrounds as I was running it with the DCC style of zero level characters to start. Character might be from a line of Sorcerers, Warriors, etc... which would give them an edge at the beginning of play but didn't force them into that occupation when choosing a class at first level.
