 It's taken us forever to detail the in-character months but I've done it, finally. I had to go with 9 months because it was the only way to divide 315 days (the canonical year of planet Yamatai) into "normal" size months and get whole numbers. Interestingly, this means if you've been using Earth years for your character's age instead of Yamataian years, your character may be younger than you thought they were! If you have a problem with that, feel free to resubmit the character with the "corrected" age. It's taken us forever to detail the in-character months but I've done it, finally.
