Sorry if this has already been answered, but do we know Simon's life timeline? I've seen many different interpretations for how old he is, how old he was at Filiment, how long he spent in prison, etc. I know he lived on Mars and was alive for the Quiet Rapture, but do we get any ages or amounts of time? If not, what's your interpretation for your writing?
The Big Timeline Post
SPOILER WARNING. This is as accurate as I could possibly get, interpreting from clues derived from the movie, the game, and some behind the scenes resources. This is my personal Iron Lung timeline fully backed with evidence.
We can infer some things based off of the game lore, movie script, and then by stealing Markiplier's age at the time of filming (Simon is Markiplier's evil bizzaro world self-insert, so it's not a huge leap to make.)
So, let's assume Simon is 33, as this is the closest "canon" approximation we have. We can then do a bunch of math, and...
Whoops! This fell out of my back pocket and into the master reference! Oh nooooo~
Okay, I've got you. Here's the whole graphic in text format, with explanations and sources.
0 EIC | 0 IMC | 1992 AD
Epoch of Interplanetary Colonization Begins
The first off-world colony is established on Mars. This officially launches the EIC calendar system based on Earth's rotation.
[...] establishment of the first off-earth colony on mars in 1992 ad (0 eic). - Game Terminal Entry
143 EIC | 76 IMC | 2135 AD
Mars Surpasses Earth Population
Mars becomes the most populated planet in the solar system. The Interstellar Martial Calendar, based on Mars' rotation, is commonplace.
[...] mars was most populated planet in the solar system before 'the quiet rapture' , surpassing earth in 143 eic. - Game Terminal Entry
345 EIC | 184 IMC | 2337 AD
Simon's Birth
Simon is born 214 years after Mars' population boom. Martian society has existed independently for 345 Earth years. From ages 0 to an unverified age, Simon lives on Mars before moving to Eden.
2370 - 33 = 2337
357 EIC | 190 IMC | 2349 AD
The Quiet Rapture
All known habitable planets and stars vanish without warning. Only uninhabitable moons and asteroids remain in the galaxy. The human population is cut to around 787 living individuals. I pulled this number by adding back the population of Filament Station to the total number of living humans stated across all terminal entries.
At age 12, the Quiet Rapture occurs, and Simon joins the Brotherhood of Eden.
[β¦] in 357 eic, without any prior warning, radio contact with our respective planets was suddenly cut. - Game Terminal Entry
the consolidation of iron, or c.o.i, is a brotherhood of three space stations and two spacecrafts, found on the principle of collectivism and ruled by popular vote of all citizens (numbering 257 at the time of this entry). - Game Terminal Entry
[Eden] has a current population of 468 and has the only known remaining trees in its interior garden. - Game Terminal Entry
(257 + 468) = (725 + 62) = 787
362 EIC | 193 IMC | 2354 AD
Battle of Filament Station
A 9-day conflict erupts between the C.O.I. and Eden over ideological differences. The station's reactor is intentionally breached, destroying it. More than 62 lives are lost, and the population is now 725 individuals.
At age 17, Simon is deployed to Filament Station as an Eden Soldier.
(They could only make Markiplier look so young. I'm doing the best I can here LOL - I'm also a personal subscriber to child soldier Simon, and this timeline makes him just young enough for this to be extra tragic.)
Simon surrenders to the C.O.I. and begins 16 years of indentured labor.
I made this inference from both the game timeline, and the official costume guide, which states that Simon was originally going to be in C.O.I. standard issue uniform:
2370 - 2354 = 16 years between Filament Station and the events of Iron Lung. The last we've heard of Simon was that he had surrendered and was in C.O.I. custody.
Simon was not in prison. They threatened him with prison if he didn't take the AT-5 deal:
Simon was doing labor for the C.O.I. This is one of the reasons why he's so dirty and so beefed up during the events of Iron Lung; he was not rotting away in a cell. This isn't Filament Station soot; this is doing bullshit for the C.O.I. for years:
[...] tensions between the c.o.i. and eden erupted in a 9 day battle on the station. - Game Terminal Entry
the conflict battle ended unresolved when eden troops resorted to sabotaging the station's reactor, resulting in a critical breach. - Game Terminal Entry
At least 62 Filament Station victims confirmed by the movie.
5/378 EIC | 201 IMC | 2370 AD
Deployment of the SM-13 Hemorover
In May, an Eden Brother is sent to Moon AT-5 to investigate its blood ocean. After dying, Simon is sent in his stead, leading to the deaths of almost the entire crew and SM-8 black box recovery. Simon retrieves the SM-8 black box, but Simon dies.
The population is now roughly 721 individuals. I came to this number by removing Ava, Simon, Jack, and the deceased Eden Brother from the population total.
The terminal was last updated on the fifth month of 378 EIC, implying that Iron Lung occurs in May.
381 EIC | 203 IMC | 2373 AD
End of Conviction Realization
Prisoners taken during the Filament Station conflict are expected to finally repay their debts. The C.O.I. expects to integrate them back into society at this time.
[...] prisoners taken during the conflict have been undergoing conviction realization in the years since, with the final ones expected to repay their debts and integrate into c.o.i. society by 381 eic. - Game Terminal Entry
This is my absolute best shot at interpreting and forming a timeline. There's inherent wiggle room on exact numbers regarding the population due to the vague nature of everything, but this is probably the best we're gonna get regarding compiled clues. This is my personal timeline that I subscribe to; feel free to use it!
Imagine Grace, Rocky, Simon on Grace's ship.
Grace is walking in a sea of red.
The warm liquid laps at his legs with each step.
Frowning, he stops.
Teeth rise from the surface, dripping.
Sightless eyes fix on Grace.
"WHY STOP NOW?"
Grace looks up.
"I'm here again?"
"OF COURSE. IT IS INEVI-"
"Great, I've got questions."
The creature stares.
"Want them one at a time or all at once?"
"WHAT."
Grace reaches for his list, butβ¦
"Where're my clothes?" he whispers, seeking the shore.
None exists.
"WAS THAT ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS?"
"It wasn't, but now I have ten more questions."
"OH NO."
"Is this a physical space, or a hallucination? Are you ageless, or do you have a lifespan? Is your form the result of evolution, or a projection? Do you reproduce asexually, or-"
A fetid sigh washes over him.
"WHY ARE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE."
"Exactly!" Grace claps and points. "Is it nature or nurtu-"
"STOP!"
Grace does.
Briefly.
"How are you speaking?"
"AUGH!"

swap au grace being insanely scared of adrian for like. a very long time
adrian thought giving themselves 'human features' would put grace at ease. it did not.
Changed adrian's suit to the more end movie kind, since with their size, the ball they need won't be able to enter anything.
Grace as the host of a live educational science show for kids turned into a sorta idol due to him garnering a larger adult fan base than expected lmao (his manager stratt got him to change into shorts to become more appealing to them :D)

"simon would definitely beat grace in a fight no question" is taken for granted in a lot of fics and i don't want it to be!!! yes whatever simon is physically bigger and more superficially muscular, but grace is
taller, higher center of gravity
also pretty fucking muscular (no it was not just the ship, NMES devices MAINTAIN muscle they don't build it)
prone to explosive anger
fucking scrappy, doesn't fight fair (the chase scene)
FAST (how fucking far he got in the chase scene. which makes sense because he does cardio literally every day)
not to mention if you believe in coltlandgentry propaganda do you seriously think court wouldn't make damn sure his baby brothers could protect themselves. do you think colt wouldn't teach his notoriously clumsy twin how to take the least amount of damage from a fall or a hit.
like... let him get the upper hand. let him win, even. typical fanfic scene with simon attacking grace when he first wakes up on the ship, but grace locks in and triggers muscle memory he maybe didn't even know he had, gets simon pinned or in some kind of secure hold. "ohhh-kay. hey there. sorry, that's my bad for startling you. my name's grace..."
