ICly, When your character is on a canon update, they completely disappear from the world. It's almost as if they were removed the game, however there's a key difference.

They will reappear wherever their amulet is and can continue their progress from wherever they left off. They will also retain all of their memories.
If you have any questions, contact one of the mods or ask them on the form.

Character: Black
Current Canon Point: Episode 8, just after talking with The King of Despair
Updated Canon Point: Near the end of 12, after White gives him her peptalk (...but before she vamoses with the King of Despair)
Updated Background: Following episode 8, Black loses consciousness and the King of Despair takes over; he hangs out with his fellow kings, receives the glasses he needs to help his plan move along from Aligula, and proceeds to kick his pieces into motion one by one. He gives White the glasses, telling her to get her friend's (Leo's) eyeballs for him, and then leaves; he reappears in the church's doorway before she puts them on Leo to mock her for asking for forgiveness/salvation (isn't it a little too late for that?).
His plans moving along without a hitch, he drags Leo down to a place beneath the cemetery whilst monologuing about the fleeting nature of humanity and uses his eyes to locate the other barriers holding Hellsalem's Lot City up. Afterwards, he swings by the theater to pick up White, bring her back to church, and shoot her after commenting that they're the same—living on borrowed time and lingering affection.
...he shoots her because she's the last barrier holding up everything so it doesn't all go to shit, essentially. And the city... doesn't go to shit immediately, because god bless White she fogs up the city. This pisses the King of Despair off, of course, so after a bunch of grumbling and a chat with his least favorite person, Femt, he uses his psi powers to force the fog away and start shifting around the city like it's just a bunch of interlocking puzzle pieces.
Then he makes a big boss battle tower out of the church and surrounding area and waits for Leonardo Watch to come and kill him. Klaus von Reinherz, the leader of Libra, comes along instead and they have a chat and a fight, with Klaus desperately trying to save Black—but the King of Despair mentions a very interesting fact about his deal with his body:
he welcomed him in. Black accepted him—it's not a case of him just taking what he wants.
Regardless, the battle ends in the King of Despair's favor (barely), Leo swings by, gives a huge peptalk to White (who's still around as a ghost, seeing as she's part of the barrier and the area they're in is where she became one three years ago), and... loves wins, essentially. Leo, with the help of White, headbutts Black back into consciousness and makes the King of Despair sleep for once. White has a talk with Black about accepting the fact your twin is actually very dead this time and there's nothing you can do about it because you're not strong enough to without killing yourself and that's bad, Black, please don't reject the world you're going to be living in from now on.
...and that's where his canon point is, essentially, after this peptalk and hug and touching moment between twins that proves family is important.
Updated Personality: Not a whole lot changes at their cores, actually; the King of Despair definitely doesn't, and Black... his mindset changes more than his personality—the way he looks at things. Because White's asked him to live on, even without her, he's determined to, even if it really sucks and he doesn't want to live in a world without her. (Because there isn't one, to him; that's his real, true feelings. White tells him he's stupid for that.)
I think that's about it.
Updated Abilities: UH.... SO...... BLACK IS A TAD BIT MORE POWERFUL THAN I EXPECTED HIM TO BE... Granted, he probably still can't use his powers half as well as the King of Despair can, and he mentions that Despair "put his body through the wringer" so it's safe to say the amount of power he shows off (moving entire street blocks, creating ever-circling ferris wheels out of debris in the sky, etc) is a "Just because you can doesn't mean you should" deal.
He's also shown being able to repair Hellsalem's Lot barrier—meaning he knows how to work that taboo magic. In theory, if he hadn't been so worn out he could've repaired it and White without having to resolve himself to sacrificing one or the other... but that wasn't the case. (But that's also a tad bit past the point I've picked for him. Well, no, he mentions he'd have to use her will at that point to fix everything, he just does it after the point I picked for him. We're good.)
...by the way, confirmed he can teleport but only by shorter distances (like, say, 20ft?). Thanks finale.
Other: Did you know I picked this exact point just so I could still have the King of Despair and Black together? Because I did. ...look I wrote an app for the both of them, there's no way in hell I'm giving one of them up.
Also, uh— May 9th to May 13th? Sounds good to me.
