@Dawnscroll: Altim's taken bigger.

Edit: Also, @LancerOfBlue, your character is accepted.

And I'm still salty about this:

Dammit, Charzy.

Immediate apologies to anyone I'm currently inconveniencing in the google doc. I'm horribly unfamiliar with the program and am currently learning how to use it ;_;

@Corvidae: Would Altim qualify as a sufficiently helpful homosexual?

@Dextkiller: Holy moly, Jesus take the wheel.

Crow and Altim can form their own little squad: Altim's the one that gets things done, and Crow sits and flirts with pretty ladies to 'keep out of his way'.

@Corvidae: Crow and Altim describe two aspects of myself perfectly.

I think I'm going to make a better system of dates. How about, instead of saying x years before events of the IC, we say x years after the end of the people's journey into Ansus? So we have: post Adventum or PA, which means "after the Arrival," and anno Tenebrarum or AT, which means "year of Darkness." I think it's pretty obvious which time periods they describe. This way we can more easily date events and provide an accurate timeline. Thoughts or suggestions?

I don't know about hours, days, or months, considering the planet has two moons and rings. How would we define those? Or should we just use Earth's measurements?

Earth measurements are probably the best way to go about it, even if it doesn't entirely make sense. Less confusing that way.

So let me sure I have this right. Post Adventum would have been 50,000 before Anno Tenebrarum (which is the events of the IC I'm presuming). Post Adventum was when Ansur left the old continent to form Ansus.

So Daen's time of Legend was 30,000 before present. Which would be 30,000 Anno Tenebrarum and also 20,000 Post Adventum. Is that correct?

I had taken it to assume that the very start of the RP will be 0AT, the next year 1AT, after that 2AT, etc. Any time before the present would be described in terms of PA.

Call me a rebel, but I thought Post Adventum began 50,000 years before the RP, but at the ending of Anno Tenebrarum which included Ansur's rise and journey to the new world.

Wouldn't it make more sense to mimic the timeline structure of the real world? Like so:
The founding of Ansus would be 0(Adventum). Which would mean that Anno Tenebrarum begins at 50,000 Post Adventum.

So i'll use Daen's time of legend again as example again.
30,000 before present. = 20,000 Post Adventum, or 30,000 before Anno Tenebrarum

There is no 0 AT or 0 PA, just like there is no 0 BC or 0 AD.

Ansur lived 60,000 years ago. Let us consider Ansur's death the end of humanity's journey, and let us consider Ansur's death also the final event marking the foundation of Ansus.

Let 1 AT be the year when this event happened. Let the year after that be 1 PA. AT and PA function like BC and AD, respectively.

Therefore, the year at the time of the roleplay would be approximately 60000 PA. This means that Altim died in 58063 PA, and Daen lived around 30000 PA.

Edit: In the roleplay, of course, it would be customary to say "thirty thousand years after Ansur walked the Earth" or describe the date relative to previous events rather than say "30000 post Adventum."

Yup! This doesn't mean you have to say the date like that in your character sheets or in character. It's just easier to keep track of the lore this way. See my edit to my previous post.

@ravenDivinity We might, also, for lore reasons want to incorporate a few more breaks in the time line for big events or occurrences as we make them.
