You have 12 years as a child. Then a number of years as an adult. Need separate paths for peasant, slave, tradesman, professional, merc, noble. Also need separate paths specific for each region, then I figure you can swap out results. [/quote]

Why not start with Warhammer RPG? It has a boatload of those, just decide how to convert.
Or if you want already OSR, there are several options even just for SWN and related games.

-.. its
Sword
Spear & Sorcery expansion in Spears of the Dawn (in public preview, too):
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/110293/Spears-of-the-Dawn
-
detailed
lifepath system for SWN Original Edition in Sandbox magazine:
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/154238/The-Sandbox-2
- core background/advancements system of SWN Revised Edition:
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/230009/Stars-Without-Number-Revised-Edition-Free-Version
-... its Sword & Sorcery style expansion for it in Worlds Without Number (not released yet, but beta versions are freely available):
