  Considering the timeline, here are some characters and their birthdates, aligned with the timeline I am working with. I will go over most canon characters who may appear in the story or may be mentioned. Is this accurate? It aligns with my timeline above... that's enough. If you have issues with it, start looking into it, and you will realize how hard it is to align everything up.
