Persona birth dates are stored in the database in the form of the persona's birth day, month and Turn. Originally the persona's age and birth day and month were stored, but this meant that every year the persona's age had to be updated and a lot of the time people forgot! Storing the day, month and Turn means that the persona's age can be calculated automatically.

However, because it's much easier to enter an age than calculate a birth Turn, you can enter a persona's age into the profile form and the birth Turn will be calculated automatically for you.

So exact birth dates are necessary to calculate a persona's age on any given day. But since it can be time-consuming to enter birth dates for every single pet and NPC a persona has, if these are left blank a random birth date will be generated.
