A PANDORA HEARTS TIMELINE

Oct 23, 2009 07:05

***ETA: JULY 17, 2012***

ahahaha, this was made in 2009. Wow.

So yeah, this thing needs to updated, stat. I'm working on it right now, in fact, though it may take me a while to put in all the new information.

But I think I'm gonna leave this version of the timeline here. For posterity. (and so we can all laugh at ourselves over how wrong wrong wrong we were. 'Glen Baskerville falls in love with Lacie,' oh my god.)

I'll have the new link up pronto. For now, enjoy the memories. :)

So some of you may have heard me blabbing about a PH timeline I made during my little hiatus. This is it.

I think I caught most of the stuff that needed to be said, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm posting this here under flock to get some feedback first, and then I'll see about posting a link at the main comm. -

now public! enjoy. ♥

Note: Things I need to go back and double check are in bold. I still can't figure out how to organize Gil's memories, or how to tell which Alice is in control at any given time.

That said...

(50ish years A.S. - Altered Timeline: Four years after the family originally died, the oldest Sinclair sister is assassinated by a rival house. This led the youngest Sinclair girl to feed her family to an illegally contracted Chain and then being dragged into the Abyss.)

50ish years A.S. - Kevin Regnard (24) is dropped into the Abyss and meets White Alice. The chain-dolls in her room had called him there so White Alice could rip out his eyes for Cheshire. Kevin sees Vincent there, carrying a limp body that is presumably Gilbert. Both boys look as though they came fresh from Sablier, which occurred fifty years before Kevin’s time. Kevin makes a deal with White Alice. He emerges from Abyss 30 years later.

84 years A.S. - Echo is born, if she is really 16 years old. This is doubtful, however, considering her connection to Zwei and Zwei’s presence at Oz’s coming of age ceremony.

82-85 years A.S. - Oz Vessalius’ mother is killed, possibly by a Nightray operative

85 years A.S. - Gilbert comes out of Abyss and is found by Zai Vessalius. - double check this. He is made into Oz Vessalius’ (10) servant. He takes on an age that is one year younger than Oz.

80ish years A.S. - Vincent comes out of Abyss and is adopted into the Nightray family

85-90 years A.S. - a Nightray operative tries to kidnap Oz Vessalius.

85-90 years A.S. - Gilbert asks Zai Vessalius to go to Oz and dispel the rumors that he hates his son. Instead, Zai confirms those rumors and says that it would have been better if Oz had never been born. Oz overhears this statement; it marks the start of his belief that his life is not worth anything.

Unknown A.S. - Kevin Regnard changes his name to Xerxes Break. He also contracts with Mad Hatter, learns how to smile, gets Emily from Sharon, and starts to eat candy. Most of the personality changes can be attributed to Shelly Rainsworth.

90 years A.S. - Oz opens the pocket watch and has a vision of a dark haired Alice (?) in a white dress. This Alice says she has been waiting for him for a long time, but then she has a mental break. The surrounding toy room is destroyed and Alice reappears, wearing Chain!Alice’s clothes, choking Oz and saying that she’ll never forgive him and that she will torture and kill him with her own hands. Oz wakes up, having never left the grave site.

90 years A.S. - B Rabbit shows up and Zai Vessalius (?) asks if B Rabbit is going to interfere again. She says no.

90 years A.S. - Gilbert wakes up and sees the lead Baskerville's face in a flash of lightening; he recognizes him. The lead Baskerville looks like he is going to attack Gilbert, so Oz picks up a sword to stab the Baskerville first. Gilbert jumps in the way and gets stabbed instead.

90 years A.S. - Oz is dropped into the Abyss by what looks like his father, Zai Vessalius, with the help of Zwei and another Baskerville. While in Abyss, Oz makes an illegal contract with B Rabbit. Oz spends about two days in Abyss, but emerges from it ten years later.

90 years A.S. - Gilbert tells Oscar Vessalius that it was Zai Vessalius and Griffin who dropped Oz into the Abyss. No one believes him.

~TO ADD - EVENTS AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE NIGHTRAYS FROM CHAPTER 45, STARTING AROUND 94ish A.S.~

O.R. - Oz Returns, Present Day

…you know what? I think we can all read the manga for this part. :X But a couple of events to note:

- In the very beginning, Oz said, ‘This was definitely plotted by someone.’

- Break and Sharon wanted to interrogate William West, while Vincent wanted him dead. Vincent won that round. Also, ‘head hunting’ is brought up in relation to Break.

- Later, Break gets everyone sucked into Cheshire’s dimension because he wants to see Alice’s memories, while Vincent wants those memories erased. Vincent won that round, too.

- The Baskervilles somehow knew that Oz and Co. would be at Lutwidge. Lutwidge itself has a history that looks to be pretty interesting, having been a prison or a place of worship. (say what?)

- Whenever Lacie is mentioned, there are two pictures shown of her. One very bright, and one that’s darker, with her wearing a hood.

- And don’t forget, the reason everyone seems to distrust the Nightrays is because they were the suspected traitors at Sablier, the ones who helped the Baskervilles during the Tragedy. (And it’s interesting, isn’t it, that it was Miranda Barma who we saw telling a six year old how to open the Baskerville Door to Abyss?)

...plus one silly thing - Oz and Oscar think Ada is the one who gave Gil his hat, due to her asking Gil if he wears the hat she gave him. But when the street guys took Gil’s hat earlier, Gil said that his brother gave him that hat. Personally, I think that Gilbert got his hat from one of the Nightrays and the hat Ada gave him was a different hat that he just doesn’t wear. (Her character profile did say she liked embroidering…) Nevermind, this was a speech bubble mix up. The hat is most likely from Ada.

* When Gilbert pointed the knife at Alice is an extreme unknown. It may have been before the main events of the Tragedy or it may be the crucial evidence that Gilbert was the one who killed Alice. At this point, it's really impossible to tell. See comments for discussion

Extras:

Current Ages of All Characters

Current Heights of All Chracters

Current List of Chains

Coming Soon - List of Contractors

Feel free to use any of this info as you will. Any comments or suggestions would be adored. I'd love to keep this timeline as accurate and up to date as possible!

eta1: made it a little easier to read.

eta2: Added the first asterisk

eta3: Added links for ages and heights

eta4: Waiting on confirmation of Liam's age. Anyone got a copy of that Omake? Cuz I don't.

eta5: Sabrie/Sablier is officially Sablier.

eta6: Okay, people. Liam or Reim? Pick your poison.

eta7: Fixed Alice's conversation with Vincent to reflect the right tense - 'will die' instead of 'already dead.'

eta8: Fixed Gilbert's age when he entered Pandora from 18 to 16. Ignore that.

spoilers, fandom: pandora hearts, timeline, what's wrong with me
