In a campaign where aging will be much less relevant, but not entirely irrelevant, this multiplier might be 0.5x - Unaging would be only 8 CP, and Extended Lifespan 4 would be only 4 CP (all age traits' costs halved). In a campaign where aging is incredibly relevant (lots of time skips, for instance), all age related traits might get a multiplier of maybe even as much as 10x, with Unaging valued at 150 CP and Extended Lifespan 4 at 80 CP. In some campaigns, aging will never come up, and the multiplier might be 0x (all aging traits are 0 CP features).

Something like the FoA mechanic for NPCs, then? Probably not as useful than that, because the effects of aging aren't as easily quantified. I think it's better to just let the GM sort out how it will work in a particular game, and adjust costs with the existing system (Accessibility, Unusual Background, etc.).
