Timeline

EDIT: This is the timeline work in progress I have.  Give me big events and the ages at which they occurred and I'll add them.  Sorry if this format doesn't make much sense, I'll reorganize later. (oh, and the chart blends in, so click the blank space below to enlarge it XD)





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     Well, as I was continuing with the next part of Natalie/Laura/Jennifer/Johnny's backstories, I realized that I may have screwed up some sort of timeline.  The way I was writing it was almost like Jennifer and Laura meet up with Natalie before joining with Nichole.  I think it may be a good idea to straighten out the timeline so that we're all on the same page.  I want to ask opinions now before I get too much further with my writing.
     Keep in mind that this is the timeline according to what I know/have written so far.  It is subject to change with ideas and input from everybody else.  I've probably forgotten a bunch of stuff, but once we have it all down we can make it into an actual timeline so we can see where each character's story lines up.

  1. Laura, Johnny, and their mother run from their father/Jennifer's parents and sister are killed by police
  2. Laura and Johnny's mother is killed/Jennifer is discovered by poker group
  3. Laura sent to orphanage/Jennifer makes money at poker
  4. Jennifer is caught by police and placed in orphanage
  5. Laura starts "working" for Jennifer
  6. Laura is kicked out of the orphanage (18)/Jennifer has "poker incident" (17)
  7. Laura and Jennifer begin their "work" (two years)
  8. Natalie is fired from her job (23)/Laura searching for Johnny
     Now I know how I want this next part to go, but I don't know if you guys would prefer that Nichole's character be introduced somewhere in there, or if that should happen after Laura and Jennifer meet Natalie.  Also, I'm not really sure about ages during numbers 1-5, but I'm sure I can get it figured out eventually.  Once I have the ages of all the characters connected to all the incidents, the timeline should be easy :P

     On another somewhat related note, here are the age comparisons according to our character Bios.
When Alex was (approx.) 1 year old:

  • Johnny was 2
  • Suzy was 2
  • Nichole was 2
  • Jennifer was 3
  • Laura was 4
  • Monica was 5
  • Natalie was 7
  • Uyenie was 10
  • Anna was ???
  • Alina was ???
  • Sarina was ???
