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

[gasping]

PLAYER NAME: jenna
CHARACTER NAME: caroline forbes
ITEM REQUESTED: her vervain necklace
ITEM PROPERTIES: made by stefan salvatore, the necklace's pendant houses a liquid concentration of vervain, a substance poisonous to vampires that protects the wearer from compulsion. since compulsion is so-far nerfed in game, it's mostly just a pretty necklace. it will, however, still burn her should she choose to touch it!
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? a gift from elena intended to protect her (and the last one she received as a human), it is a tie to her humanity and a reminder of the friends and family she left behind.

special question: as vervain does cause physical harm to vampires who touch it, will caroline experience any pain from the "release" of the item or afterwards (ie it resting against bare skin while she sleeps?)

item request

[realists]

PLAYER NAME: emma
CHARACTER NAME: jyn erso
ITEM REQUESTED: jyn's blaster; stolen from cassian andor's personal belongings
ITEM PROPERTIES: per the wookiepedia: the a-180 blaster is configured as a blaster pistol that fires bolts of intense plasma energy, often mistaken as lasers. operating under the same principles as laser weaponry, blasters converted energy-rich gas to a glowing particle beam that could melt through targets. they could deliver variable levels of damage intensity, from stun to kill settings. they also could hit with great frictional or even explosive force, allowing a bolt to kill on impact even if the target is armored. some blaster hits could cause bleeding instead of burning, or could do both, with the explosive force causing other damage around the wound. despite their blazing concussive blasts, those ranged energized particle weapons could be countered by magnetic seals and deflector shields.
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? jyn arrived on yavin 4 with only the clothes on her back (and her crystal) and before she and cassian leave for jedha, she is given (or finds) more suitable clothes and a bag for her things. she is pointedly not given a blaster but when cassian goes to speak with draven, jyn rifles through his bag and finds his spare, which she takes. later, when he realizes, jyn lies right to his face and says she found it (the audacity of this birch) and then has the sheer chutzpah to tell cassian that trust goes both ways when she straight up stole from him. either way, cassian does trust her with the weapon and she holds on to it all the way until scarif when she finally loses it. it is the precious first piece of their friendship.

CANON UPDATE

[batricide]

PLAYER NAME: Shikki
CHARACTER NAME: Damian Wayne
CANON: Injustice
CURRENT CANON POINT: After Bruce breaks his arm
UPDATED CANON POINT: Injustice 2 issue 50, while waiting to be executed by Gorilla King Solomon
BACKGROUND: here
HOW WILL THIS IMPACT YOUR CHARACTER? It's been about two years for Damian since he arrived in New Amsterdam. He'll be coming in at 21 instead of 19. Damian has met Kara Zor-El and freed Wonder Woman from the Amazons, and has started formulating a plan to break Superman out of prison and re-establish the Regime. He's touched base with Black Adam and restrengthened that alliance.

Thanks to his friendship with Kara, Damian has started to remember that he's more than a solider taking orders and has started to push back when he feels things are wrong. Unfortunately! That means betraying his biological family, which is a death sentence. Once he accepts readily. He's ready to die if it means actually living for himself again.

Damian's got his fire back. It's still mostly fueled by anger, and will worsen significantly after he ends up in prison again, but he also remembers what it was like to lay your life on the line because it's the right thing to do. He recognizes that he's helped Ra's do something terrible and will stop at nothing to set it right.

(not that it matters because his whole family is about to be murdered in a few issues but, y'know)

On return he'll lose some of that defeatist attitude he's been carrying around and will throw himself fully into the creation and establishment of the Justice League and getting to the bottom of things.

ITEM REQUEST

[recompleted]

PLAYER NAME: Jaina
CHARACTER NAME: Roxas
ITEM REQUESTED: His black coat (see icon!)
ITEM PROPERTIES: It protects him from the eats-away-at-your-metaphysical-heart darkness, which may or may not be actually present in the game, and maaaaaybe offerhs some light physical protection since it appears to be made of leather. But mostly it's just a coat.
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? He literally spent the first year of his life wearing it every day. It'll just make him feel more comfortable. Also, the hood is useful for when he feels like being Dramatic and hiding his face.

canon update

[heliophilous]

PLEASE REMEMBER TO PUT "CANON UPDATE" IN THE SUBJECT LINE!
PLAYER NAME: trace
CHARACTER NAME: marcos diaz
CANON: the gifted
CURRENT CANON POINT: season 2, episode 9
UPDATED CANON POINT: season 2, end of episode 13
BACKGROUND: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gifted_(season_2)#Episodes
HOW WILL THIS IMPACT YOUR CHARACTER? when marcos was taken out of the mutant underground and deposited into new amsterdam, he was at one of his lowest points. his former girlfriend had taken his nearly newborn daughter away from him and he'd had to leave his friend behind with a dangerous group, hellbent on killing all mutants and anyone connected to them.

during this canon update, marcos will return to his friends and be reassured that they are okay and be detrimental to rescue his best friend, john. he'll also form a tenuous friendship of a sort with lorna when they team up to achieve a common end goal of getting john free and putting down the purifiers. because of his ties in new amsterdam, that association won't turn romantic but it will settle him and relieve him of some of his anger towards lorna for what she's done.

it'll also remind him that he has other abilities (not of a supernatural origin) that he can use to get information from people. he falls back a bit on his cartel background while interrogating a dangerous mercenary mutant brought in by the inner circle for reasons as yet unknown. marcos and lorna begin spying on the leader of the inner circle, reeva, which leads to the interrogation wherein marcos gets shot and then kills max, the mercenary mutant.

when marcos returns, he's going to be even more dedicated to helping people that can't help themselves and to putting himself in front of those people and being that barrier between them and those that want to do them harm. he'll also be a little less angry at lorna and therefore the world. he's still going to miss his daughter something fierce but he'll feel more focused on a purpose here and be more determined to get it going as soon as he can.

item request

[realists]

PLAYER NAME: emma
CHARACTER NAME: jyn erso
ITEM REQUESTED: a battered but functional crozo 2-mal personal comlik
ITEM PROPERTIES: a cheap, simple, and effective communications device commonly used by the rebels that communicates with devices paired to the same frequency
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? it's useless on its own, but it is a reminder of operation fracture and rogue one and her FRIENDS and HOPE and SOMEONE LISTENING and it is important to her as all things from home are important to her.

APPROVED

[larkers]

Jyn can wake up holding her comlink anytime in the next month! She will find her chest glowing at first, but won't feel any burning sensation.

[realists]

thank you & a quick question, if cassian were to receive his own comlink would they be functional?

[larkers]

Hi Emma!

So, after reviewing this, as well as the Wookiepedia page (as well as our own knowledge of the canon), we're going to say that it's unlikely without any kind of communication station or device linking the two up. We're pretty sure the comms need to be linked via a network of some kind, which wouldn't exist in Meadowlark's world.

[realists]

thumbs up!

ITEM REQUEST

PLAYER NAME: veronica
CHARACTER NAME: Loki
ITEM REQUESTED: Tacky green jacket with fur collar and lots of buckles. It allows the wearer to become invisible.
ITEM PROPERTIES: The jacket is woven with shadow-thread stolen from Svartalfheim, which can turn the wearer invisible. Basically it's an invisible jacket.
WHY IS THIS ITEM IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER? It's his signature jacket! He wears it all the time! Like his horns, it's one of the pieces that is irrevocably him.
