Sparky's Fanon Timeline

Hey everybody. Spark here. This is the first part of my two-part "Destiny Movement". This is a timeline that will include major events in character backgrounds. If there's enough call for it, I might allow future events to be included, but as the future is, by its very nature, unpredictable, at this point, we'll leave it alone.

Please note that some dates may be approximate, and should be taken with a grain of salt until proven otherwise. As there has not yet been a dating system shown in canon, the year in which Volume 1 takes place will be known as Year 0. All events beforehand will be described in negative numbers.

'''As this page is still small, I'd prefer it if you guys would comment in your additions, rather than edit. I'll post them up on the timeline once I read through the relevant material.''' Also note that background information that has not been approved by the Reviewing Moderation Staff will not be allowed. I hope you guys enjoy the history we develop for the world of Remnant.
