Thats why its best not to mention exact years or ages. If you prefer those strict details then youll have to either fudge the numbers some or just PM the other XMen and come to an agreement. This is an "alternate universe" meaning that its the canon characters but not with exact histories or time periods that are perfectly matching and realistic to the true character.<br/><br/>So theres really no answer I can give tou on that. Just be more general of your description of events that involve other active characters. It will reduce the conflicts. For those that cant be avoided in the bio, try not to post to much about them (at least if you think it will mess up or misconstrue someone elses character.) Hope that makes sense.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I tried to shoot for an age range (10-12 years) rather than an exact amount of time, as I want to be able to detail relationships a bit, and it would be nice to have the X-Men players on the same page.  If Storm and Nightcrawler's players want it to be a different amount of time I am completely okay with it.<br/><br/>The reason I want to ballpark it is that Sean is about 20 years older than Kurt.  If they met this year for the first time, they are both adults with different levels of experience.  If they met five years ago then it is a young man and a middle aged man.  If more than ten years ago, a fully grown man and a kid.  I think it would affect their views of each other.
