Notes

• Life dates for humans usually found in their "ID" in-game or the Extras Gallery. The latter is the source for many android release dates. Note that an android model's release date does not automatically equal the manufacturing date of a specific individual of that model.
• NOTE: am still figuring out the release dates, which apply to model and which to individuals.
