Hey guys! Sorry if this has already been asked, but when you are making/editing your History on Dark Jedi Brotherhood, what do you put for Teen and Adult events? And another thing, if I want to be 23, what do I put for date-of-birth? (I'm unsure to what year DB takes place in)

Not sure about the DoB question, but you can put whatever you want for the teen and adult events, but they should definately rank as "significant" for your character. A plus would probably be if they reinforce how you think out and flesh out your fictional aspects. This can, of course, be modified at a later date and time as you continue to develop your character, their psyche, etc.

We use the Before Battle of Yavin (BBY) / After Battle of Yavin (ABY) calendar system. The DB is currently in the year 23 ABY... or was it 24 ABY... I always forget. Anyway, its around then.

So if you wanted to be about 23 or 24 you'd want to be born in 0 ABY (otherwise known as the year of A New Hope).

Good news! I made my history, and all I need is someone to approve it.

Yeah, Macron was born about 11 BBY.

You know, having that DB dating info out there and easily found would be good.

It'll be in the Codex sometime in the next few months.

I'm compiling a History of the Dark Side chapter that will flesh out the history of the DB and stuff... its currently at 23 pages, with a lot more to go though, so it might be a while.

I don't want to be impatient, but could someone check my history and see if it's worthy of approval?

Once you submit your history, it's automatically updated, so you don't have to worry about someone approving it.

Really? Because it was the first time I did my history, and it says that once you do that you become a Novice. I'm still an APP.

Oh, that means that your leaders haven't noticed it yet, and they're probably the only ones suitable for promoting you on something like that.

Oh. Okay! Thanks for the help!

If its your first one at APP the Headmaster will read over it for approval.

The leaders don't get an email when your history is updated, so if that's something that you need to do for a promotion then you'll need to let them know when it's posted. We all try to keep on top of those things but the promotion gets requested much faster if you let the house leaders know that you've finished the requirments rather then letting them check up on your profile.
