C*l*br**n is too painful for most people. I don't want to see the first-grader after that.

I'll be trying to create my first agents soon, so is there a certain age an agent has to be over to join the PPC?

Not sure, but my agents are 14 and 15 and I got Permission.

The usual recruitment age is 15, as I already said.
However, "Agents as young as twelve aren't unheard of", meaning that in some cases Agents as young as twelve are put on the field. Probably as a countermeasure to the PPC's perennial understaffing problem.
So, we can probably say "between 12 and 15, depending on how much likely is the recruit to survive at least one mission and how much the PPC is understaffed at the moment" -

The primary example for that is Ella Darcy, and she was in Author Correspondance, which wasn't an Action Department. I'm sure there have been others, but usually, agents that young are given desk jobs.

I'm not sure but I think the youngest agent is twelve years old, but that's really on the limit.
Remember the horrors that lurk in HQ and the badfics. There has to be a basic level of psychological development to be able to stand this. -

The kid might just be too oblivious and wonder why Celebrian wants to suck on the king's rooster. After all, they're all feathery and stuff.

That poor babby.
He/she/it/zurb would need neuralization. And bleepolate. Lots of bleepolate. And a hug. And to be kept away from vanilla ice cream for a LONG time.
*hasn't read C*l*br**n, and frankly, doesn't even want to read the sporking from what I've heard* -

I read it, and it didn't horrify me that much, mostly, because it was so over-the-top that I never connected the characters names' to the actual character. From there, it is only a really stupidly bad story. The real horror comes, I think, from connecting the names with characters that you know and love. "They did WHAT to my beloved character?!?!"
It was so over-the-top that it was not engaging enough to even make me see the characters as characters, even further removing any sense of horror I would have felt.
Now, one that really bothered me was a Sherlock Holmes that I sporked. It was written well-enough, about characters I liked enough, to /really/ get under my skin. -

Keep me away from it. NOW. >_>
My Sherlock/'Vernet' muse would throttle my brain. And then escape into reality to hunt down the author.
He knows he's ooc, but he REALLY hates ooc-Holmes.
