Pencil 2.O Wikia

(Return to the previous page here.)

Okay, this page was created in haste. I should have realized this earlier, but there's no way I can finish all the backstories by the yearbook deadline of the 8th of June, either by editing or by adding.

Anyway, on this page you can find each RLBFB contestant's personal history (and hopefully future—let's see, today is something, something, 1973). You can track this by searching the page for a contestant's respective name in bold (and if already in bold, then in bold-italics). It is presented in timeline mode, as each contestant's backstory does not happen independently but has a small influence on those of the others. Somehow.[1]

Now I was going to call this page the "Grand Unified Timeline" in honour of the series of TV Tropes pages of the same name, but it has come to light (by me) that this page is neither grand nor unified. Currently this page is called "Chronology", which refers to the science of placing things on a timeline rather than the timeline itself, but that's what the Other Wiki calls it. Besides, determining when things happen, such as birth order and the ages of the parents, is a more difficult task than science itself.

Final notes on colouring:

  • Most important notes (those about the contestants themselves, whether they be birth dates, marriage dates, divorce dates, name changes): black.
  • Notes on contestants' parents:
    • Their dates of birth: light grey (AAAAAA).
    • Their death dates: black (unless happening before a contestant was born).
  • Notes on contestants' siblings:
    • Their dates of birth: dark grey (787878) (even if after a contestant was born).
    • Their dates of death: black.
  • Notes on contestants' children: black.
  • Notes on TPOT debuters that didn't make it in: medium grey (969696).

Naming conventions[]

Before we begin, I know that some of you may not be familiar with some of the names here; they are names of people, not objects, and if you're guessing that those are the names of BFB objects as humans, you're right. To keep it short, here's a table you can use to convert "human names" to "object names" for easy reference.

Notes[]

  1. This means that the old backstory pages will sadly be considered irrelevant. But that doesn't matter much since the information is transferred here. I might even split up some of the information if the page gets too long.
  2. 2.0 2.1 The year the law that enforced foreign last names to become Italianized was passed: Link (may be NSFL).
  3. Ah ha huh.
  4. Also known as "Nazi Germany".
  5. This was a Lothar-specific name change; the other members of his family did not become Verliers (literally "lose").
  6. They had already been using these names in the Korean language, unless the naming laws also applied to the spoken language.
