Guys, I appreciate the effort some of you are going to in order to integrate your character into the wider universe but let's try not to create too much continuity before the game has even begun, shall we? This isn't directed at anyone in particular but when I said that this game is set in the present, I meant it.

Don't get caught up on the history portion. Explain where and how it diverts from the mainstream origin - if it does at all - and try (and this is the most important part) not to create continuity that will hamper anybody else.

I swear I tried!
