I was wondering something tonight (considering I can't sleep): I've noticed that many other fandoms and game series give their characters a birthday date, although they usually don't give any specific year. (First example to come to mind is the Type-Moon universe; all the characters in it are given a birthday, and most TM PC games have special features when said dates come up in your system.) I was thinking of pseudo-rewriting my Snow story from the different points of view of the two main characters (Phoenix and Maya), displaying everything through each of their eyes, but need to know if their birthdates have been given by Capcom, or if I can come up with whatever date I'd like to use.

Thanks for the help. =)

Problay the best you can do is the year they were born. you can determine it by comparing the "year" the game was set in and the characters ages at that time.
Or take a look at the timeline in the CR info section :yuusaku:

No, no, I actually wanted to know if Capcom had disclosed the actual birthdays for the characters (as in day/month, no year necessary), since I had this idea, but it revolves around literally screwing up Maya's birthday, so I didn't wanna go against canonical info. =)

Everyone else doesn't have an actual birthday.

That's odd that they didn't do that in the fan books. Usually those kind of things contain birthdays for the characters.

Edgeworth doesn't have a birthday because his ages in the first game and the third game are contradictory.

And thanks to Apollo Justice, Phoenix's age is also contradictory (I guess Ema's would be too).

I wish I could know, since it'd be fun (for me) to talk about their zodiacs.. -is a nerd, obviously-

All I know is that Miles and Phoenix are born in the year of the monkey...

... and that Phoenix's birthday would revolve around late March or so.
