Timeline (2k)

In order to make it easier for you to create characters' pasts and to understand the IC situation and standings of the MUSH's various factions, we've drawn up a set of history files. PLEASE NOTE! This is NOT, repeat, NOT, necessarily IC information for your character! For instance, very few TFs will have any clue about Earth history or politics or events. Even fewer humans will have any clue about ancient Cybertronian history. Nobody but the Quints knows anything about Quint history.
