Lets see if I can answer all of those, lol. 1) In the rp it starts out in 2020, 5-6 years in the future. 2) means Anno Domini, latin for "Year of Our Lord" equivalent to CE or Common Era, 3) Absolutely, your character can be of any background/origin that you wish. 4) Yes, it will start on the 1st day, which will allow everyone to introduce their characters. Soon after something will happen that will cause all characters to gather together and meet, then we will continue the RP from there.
