*June 12th <small>(Speculative, could be June 11th)</small><ref>'''Assembler:''' In Monarch 16.9, Danny said that Taylor's birthday was a week before June 19th. However, in Scarab 25.1, Taylor said in court that her birthday was the 19th.<br><br>'''Maroon Sweater:''' I like it being the 12th because i like the beat where she blanked out on turning 16<br><br>'''Assembler:''' I find it interesting that about a week before the 19th is June 11th, and June 11th, 2011 is the day you posted Worm's first chapter.<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' @ Asse - I do believe that was the rationale for it being her birthday. But yeah, it's not the 19th. - Conversation with Wildbow on Discord, [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/44301909 archived on Spacebattles]</ref>
**[[Taylor Hebert]] born.<ref>“It’s the nineteenth,” he said.  “Your birthday was a week ago.”<br><br>“Oh.”  I’d been a little distracted at the time.  A week ago, that would have been around the time we were wrapping up our confrontation with the Slaughterhouse Nine.  Lovely. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/12/15 Excerpt] from [[Monarch 16.7]]</ref><ref name="25.1">“Will you state your name for the record?”<br><br>“Taylor Hebert.”<br><br>“Your date of birth?”<br><br>“June nineteenth, 1995.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/29/scarab-25-1/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.1]] (this was later redacted by WOG)</ref>

**Behemoth destroys [[Wikipedia: Moscow|Moscow]], [[Russia]].<ref>Moscow, June 18th, 1995.  Behemoth. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/22/interlude-24/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.x]]</ref><ref>Overall, Russia has suffered more at the hands of Endbringers and S-Class threats than most, and it was the lack of faith in the government's ability to protect the people (and the aftermath of losing Moscow) that led to the fall of the U.S.S.R. and rise of other forces. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/14300958/ Private message by Wildbow, archived on Spacebattles]</ref>
*[[Emma Barnes]] born.<ref>“I don’t know if you know this,” he spoke, “But when your mom was alive, and you were in middle school, the subject of you skipping a grade came up.”<br><br>“Yeah?”<br><br>“You’re a smart girl, and we were afraid you were bored in school.  We had arguments on the subject.  I-I convinced your mom you would be happier in the long run attending high school with your best friend.” - [[Tangle 6.9]]</ref><ref name="19.z e3" /><ref name="1.1 eBullyStart">I’d been enduring this from the very first day of high school, a year and a half ago. - [[Gestation 1.1]]</ref>
*[[Theo Anders]] born. <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%"><div class="mw-collapsible-content"><small>Theo is at least 15 years old as of June 2011.<ref name="I11b">“How old are you?  Fourteen? Fifteen?”<br><br>“Fifteen, sir,” Theo said. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/17 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11b]]</ref> Thus, he must have been born in either 1995 or 1996. However, during his first year of high school, Victoria went after the gangs pretty hard, with a particular focus on the Empire.<ref name="II10.10 eHighSchool">“I wanted to say,” Theo said.  “Victoria, uh… ''thank you''?”<br><br>“For what?”<br><br>“This is a weird thing to bring up.  But back when I was just in my first year of High School, you went after the gangs pretty hard.”<br><br>I winced.<br><br>“The Empire in particular?” - [[Polarize 10.10]]</ref> She started patrolling within six months after triggering.<ref name="II2.6 ePatrol" /> As Victoria focused on patrolling,<ref>“Did you know Dauntless?”<br><br>“I ran into him on patrol here and there.  We had a jurisdiction we were supposed to stick to, and it was close to his, south end of downtown and the Towers.  We’d meet and compare notes.”<br><br>“Was he nice?”<br><br>“Yep.  It’s… kind of one of those things where I wish I’d done something different.  Back then I just wanted to patrol more, so if my dad stopped and had a twenty minute talk with Dauntless, I’d be so eager to get going again I wouldn’t be listening.  Now I kind of wish I paid more attention when the more legitimate heroes were talking.”<br><br>''Especially with how things turned out for him''. - [[From Within 16.7]]</ref> triggered sometime between April and June 2009,<sup>[[Timeline#2009|&#91;*&#93;]]</sup> and had a clear motive for targeting the Empire,<ref>If it was just me and my skin on the line, I was pretty sure I could have dealt.  As a kid with superhero parents, I had dealt with my Aunt Jess’s death -Fleur’s death- with some vivid fantasies about being a heroine and making a great sacrifice, often involving revenge in some capacity.  Taking out Kaiser.  Purity, who had done the flying artillery thing and had jousted with my family enough times to stick in my consciousness.<br><br>I’d moved past that, but with a perspective change in the wake of it.  Not fantasizing about death, but… being okay with it.  That hadn’t changed since: accepting that capes died and in an ideal world they died doing something just.  I knew I’d rather go out in battle than end up in another hospital room for the rest of my life. - [[Infrared 19.1]]</ref><ref>''Hate''.  The feeling hit me so suddenly and so unexpectedly that I thought it might have been one of Rain’s cluster-mates.  Hate like when I had been in middle school, arguing with a classmate who had spewed out insane, vile rhetoric that would have made them a perfect fit for Empire Eighty-Eight or the Fallen, and he had refused to listen because I was a ‘pretty, privileged white girl’ and that had somehow meant my experiences and opinions weren’t valid, even though he was an okay looking, privileged white boy.  I’d hated him and I’d hated that I couldn’t talk or shout sense to him and make him stop or even ''pause'' in being such a shitty person. - [[Pitch 6.4]]</ref> Theo was likely a freshman during the 2009-2010 school year.</small></div></div>
*[[Sophia Hess]] born. <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%"><div class="mw-collapsible-content"><small>Sophia is at least 15 years old as of June 2011;<ref name="18.e eSentence">“Do you feel ''bad'' about it?  I’m genuinely curious.”<br><br>“I feel… less bad than I should,” I said.  “But yeah.  It isn’t nice to hear.”<br><br>“Because of what happened, because she was still reeling from the time she spent as your meat puppet, she attacked her mom, who called the authorities.  They caught up just in time to catch her in her room, electrical cord around her neck.  Cost Shadow Stalker her probation, meaning she got stuck in some parahuman detention center until she’s eighteen.  And word is her mom doesn’t want her back when she’s finished the three-year sentence.  Last straw and everything.  Her life, put on hold, her family shattered.  Maybe she was damaged like you said, but you took her captive and tormented her until she went off the deep end.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/26/queen-18-3/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.3]]</ref> she was roughly 15 and a half years old at the time.<ref name="9.6 eProbation">“Two and a half more years, right?”  Emma asked, “Then you’re off probation, free to do your thing.” - [[Sentinel 9.6]]</ref> She was also at least 14 years and 8 months old<ref name="19.z e4" /> before attending boot camp in summer 2010.<ref name="Reddit eSummerCamp">In the case of troublesome Wards, it gets doubly difficult because Wards aren't generally moved from city to city, and you have the parents as additional hurdles to negotiate with. Some will get sent to, say, San Diego for the huge Wards training center, and that keeps them busy for a few months while 'boot camping' them, but that's for a summer at best and the kid eventually goes back. In some cases, you just end up with a better trained troublemaker, like we saw with Sophia Hess. - Comment by Wildbow [https://redd.it/4io2ue on Reddit], [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/37024231 archived on Spacebattles]</ref> Thus, she was born in 1995, especially since she is in the same school year as Taylor and Emma.<ref name="19.z e3" /><ref name="1.1 eBullyStart" /></small></div></div>
