I'll do my best to give it my best at making it that way Chirone, and I do have an idea for the final image already so I just hope it all goes smoothly and I have the time!

I chose 2037 mainly because I didn't want it set too far in the future, so it's based in a reality that's recognisable. Nearly thirty years seemed like a good time, things would have progressed but maybe not have changed that dramatically, but with the flexibility for creativeness still intact.
37 in particular has it's reasons too, but that's just more personal.
I know a lot of people know this already, but one piece of advice I'd give to anyone making a character is create the whole backstory as in depth as time will allow, even if there seems to be no need, it always makes the character more believable and come to life more!
