CANON UPDATES AND ITEM REQUESTS

[larkers]

> CANON UPDATES

Characters being updated mysteriously vanish at some point unobserved. When they return, they will wake up in their own bed with their new canon memories and any physical changes. They will not have any memory of how they vanished or where they may have been in that time. Players should feel free to use the IC disruption caused by this disappearance to change things up for their character! Or they could just have their friends cover for them.

For a day after returning, they will experience a dull burning sensation in their chest.

New characters are not eligible for a canon update until they're in the game for one OOC month.

To request a canon update for your character, please fill out the form below. Please do not have your character canon update in game until your request is approved.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO PUT "CANON UPDATE" IN THE SUBJECT LINE! <b>PLAYER NAME:</b> <b>CHARACTER NAME:</b> <b>CANON:</b> <b>CURRENT CANON POINT:</b> <b>UPDATED CANON POINT:</b> <b>BACKGROUND:</b> Just a wiki link covering the time between the two points will do! <b>HOW WILL THIS IMPACT YOUR CHARACTER?</b> Please give us a succinct summary of the changes this canon update will cause to your character's personality, as well as any physical changes.

> ITEM REQUESTS

Characters receiving items will wake up from a normal night's sleep to find themselves mysteriously holding the item. They'll remember nothing notable about their sleep.

Items are limited to one at a time, and they must hold some importance to your character. That means the item in question must be linked to your character in some tangible way.

Items cannot be alive or independently sentient. Items will not be nerfed unless it has a latent connection to your character in some way. If they can mentally teleport it across a room in canon to themselves, for instance, that won't be possible in game. The item will still retain any other properties, however.

Please wait at least one OOC month after your character's arrival in game before making any item requests. Players may only make one item request per character per month.

To request an item for your character, please fill out the form below. Please do not have your character receive the item in game until your request is approved.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO PUT "ITEM REQUEST" IN THE SUBJECT LINE! <b>PLAYER NAME:</b> <b>CHARACTER NAME:</b> <b>ITEM REQUESTED:</b> <b>ITEM PROPERTIES:</b> Please give us a rundown of the item's functions, abilities or powers. If it has none, just put N/A! <b>WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER?</b> Please give us a brief summary of what significance the item holds for your character.

item request

[batricide]

PLAYER NAME: Shikki
CHARACTER NAME: Damian Wayne
ITEM REQUESTED: Injustice
ITEM PROPERTIES: A bowstaff that splits into a pair of escrima sticks. Nothing fancy other than that.
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? It's the same weapon Damian accidentally killed his older brother with. The exact same weapon. In a fit of childish rage he tossed one of them at Dick's head, something they'd done time and time again, and it collided with his temple and knocked him onto a Murder Rock. So these are basically the sticks that ruined his life.

item request

[crisised]

PLAYER NAME: lyn
CHARACTER NAME: kara zor-el
ITEM REQUESTED: her legion flight ring
ITEM PROPERTIES: it's a ring that acts as identifier (via the logo) and communicator within the legion of super-heroes. (though that... kinda obviously wouldn't work here without. y'know. other rings to send communications to.) the unique properties of the metal it's made out of also allows the wearer to fly so long as they have the willpower to make it work.
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? it marks her as a member of the legion--a group she's joined twice in two different universes. (comics are weird.) it's a tie to a group she's close to and a small way to connect with her super-heroing that isn't like. a giant red cape with an 's' on the back.

ITEM REQUEST

[retravel]

PLAYER NAME: Laura
CHARACTER NAME: Leo Fitz
ITEM REQUESTED: Framed photograph of him and his life partner, Jemma Simmons
ITEM PROPERTIES: N/A
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? It's a photo they keep on their bedside table, taken on their first assignment. She's the love of his life, and he misses her desperately!

Item Request

[ofmyth]

PLAYER NAME: Anne
CHARACTER NAME: Thor
ITEM REQUESTED: His winged helmet
ITEM PROPERTIES: It looks stylish and gives him helmet hair N/A
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? It's a reminder of home, of who he is and what he (was) capable of.

Item Request

[deicider]

PLAYER NAME: Leigh
CHARACTER NAME: Ojiro Juniper (Sniper)
ITEM REQUESTED: their epee
ITEM PROPERTIES: Normal sword, with a combat edge
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? It's their sword. They took it with them when they went to go assassinate a tyrant.

ITEM REQUEST

[strove]

PLAYER NAME: Alison
CHARACTER NAME: Clarke Griffin
ITEM REQUESTED: Her father's watch
ITEM PROPERTIES: This is a broken watch. Given that I assume watches are a relic in this world, and Clarke would assume the same, she would keep it hidden. She would never bother to have it fixed, as it not working is probably a poetic sign of what it is.
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? When Clarke's father died, he gave her his watch, and Clarke carried it around for the first two seasons of The 100. After Clarke killed everyone in the Mountain, it had less thematic significance because of what she made herself do, but ... essentially, her father is one of the sole Good People in the entire canon, and her carrying the watch was a symbol of that. But it was also a prized possession.

ITEM REQUEST

[mercurio]

PLAYER NAME: kira
CHARACTER NAME: Prompto Argentum
ITEM REQUESTED: LOKTON camera
ITEM PROPERTIES: It's like any other camera. It has a memory card which will likely contain a number of saved pictures (unless you'd rather it be wiped?).
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? Prompto's dream since he was little was to be a photographer. This camera is the one he took with him on his trip with Noctis and the others for the entirety of the game. He's always taking pictures and has it close at hand for any candid pictures. It's the most important and personal belonging he has.

PLAYER NAME: veronica

ITEM REQUESTED: His Southside Serpents jacket; it's a leather jacket with a patch on the back.
ITEM PROPERTIES: N/A
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? This is the jacket Jughead was given when his father was put in jail by the gang that his father headed up. There's a long, complicated story behind it, but it's part of his identity as he moved from being an outsider to part of a larger group. He withstood a gang hazing ritual to gain the right to wear it.

CANON UPDATE

[secondnature]

PLAYER NAME: Alison
CHARACTER NAME: Keith
CANON: Voltron: Legendary Defender
CURRENT CANON POINT: End of S6 (6x7)
UPDATED CANON POINT: 8x10
BACKGROUND: Episode summaries. Let me know if you need anything else!
HOW WILL THIS IMPACT YOUR CHARACTER? For the most part, Keith will be far more experienced as a leader. At the beginning of S7, he deals with the fallout of having left his team, as well as having to step into the role and understand how to manage it. He even asks Shiro at one point how he's done it, and Shiro's answer nudges Keith toward knowing that he can fully rely on the other paladins.

Throughout S7, we see Keith's maturity and empathy really play out. He doesn't turn his back on a teammate when he's showing sadness, and he also shows empathy toward an Admiral who betrayed basically everyone because she thought she was doing the right thing. He's determined and unfailing in everything he does, keeping a clear head to keep the team moving forward.

That's not to say he's flawless when it comes to leading. Keith comes to understand that he's better at leading a smaller group rather than a larger one, and he works in tandem with Shiro when he becomes the leader of the Atlas. When needed, he still feels confident enough to lead his team off on his own during S8, but keeps the others in check to try to keep them from being rash.

Coming from 8x10, Keith will be a lot more likely to examine his rashness and the lengths he feels are necessary to pull something off. Though he defends his decisions, Keith is willing to relent in the following episode when told to slow down and process what's going on. It shows a willingness to open his mind and hear others out, as well as keep people from going to potentially dangerous lengths. 8x10 ends with Allura in a coma, after all.

Other than this, Keith is more and more aware of how his decisions impact other people. He's had to see this many times over throughout the course of S7 and S8, so he'll be much more conscientious of this. He's also much more aware of how to give pep talks and reach out to friends. That doesn't make him less awkward, but he verbalizes the things he usually articulates through doing for people, which is a huge step for him when it comes to interpersonal skills. This change will be demonstrative of how conscious of how Keith is with other people, and how he's willing to push himself out of his comfort zone if he cares for someone.

Physically, Keith's hair will return to its long length, where it's nearly hitting his shoulders. (By S8, he's referred to as "the long-haired one.") He'll have a bunch of new scars on his body because he nearly died at the end of S7. It seems that he was the last of the paladins to wake after that final battle.
