[ canon update ]
If you'd like to update your character to a different canon point, fill out the form below and comment to this entry. Please note that characters can only be updated to source material that has been out for at least one month. We will try and process canon updates within 48 hours.
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. Their amulet will remain and be in a translucent state. Characters will be gone from the game from three days to a week. 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.
Player:
Character:
Current Canon Point: The canon point upon application.
Updated Canon Point: The new, desired canon point.
Updated Background: All we need is all the new information, so just a summary of what's happened between the current and updated canon point.
Updated Personality: If anything has changed about the character's personality fill it here. Just like in the original application process, we need as much details a possible, especially if there were any big changes.

Character: Takashi "Shiro" Shirogane
Current Canon Point: Season 2, Episode 3
Updated Canon Point: Season 2, Episode 8
Updated Background: So, after Ulaz's death comes--well, the second volume of the comic comes next, but it's not finished so I can't give a proper summary, but also it's not like anything really important's going to happen in it so tl;dr Team Voltron helps some wyvern-riding space furries migrate to a new planet. The next thing that happens in the actual show is that the team gets a coded distress signal from the people of Planet Olkari, who are basically tech wizards. Pidge levels up her bond with her Lion while they're there, but nothing terribly important happens re: Shiro, except Keith giving him a small heart attack by trying to take a dude hostage.
As they leave the Olkari, however, they're ambushed by Zarkon and the Galra main fleet. They escape, but the team is exhausted after the fighting they already did on Planet Olkari, and the teludav, the device that allows Allura to create wormholes, has been damaged. Coran gets to work on fixing that, the rest of the team fails to actually rest despite being so exhausted, and Shiro just keeps trucking along business as usual because it's not like he ever sleeps anyway. And Zarkon keeps on dropping in on them out of nowhere to their increasing confusion, because there are absolutely no tracking devices on the Castle, they are certain of this. Eventually they jury-rig a temporary fix for the teludav for a proper full escape, but that still leaves the question of how the fuck Zarkon is even finding them.
Allura suspects they're being tracked through her because she's a magical space princess, and Keith suspects it's through him because, uh, he 1v1'd Zarkon last season and maybe that did something somehow??? (Actually he suspects this because he's starting to worry he might actually be part Galra himself, but like hell he's sharing that concern with everybody else.) Shiro is having basically none of this and instead of debating this, he just wants to move on and proactively attack the Galra stationed at a nearby planet after everybody gets a good night's rest to recover.
So naturally Allura and Keith go and bail on them in the middle of the night.
Shiro is not happy about this and tells them to get their asses back here, and then he and the other three get to work on what has now become an evacuation mission. They're attacked by the Galra while doing this, proving that Allura and Keith were both wrong about being the subject of the tracking. And the Red Lion independently crosses a great distance to fetch Keith back, which lends credence to Shiro's theory about the tracking, which is that it's because of Zarkon tapping into his link with the Black Lion as its former Paladin.
The kids go off with Coran to the mall to get replacement lenses for the teludav, while Shiro goes to have a nice chat with the Black Lion, to see if he can't get his bond with it to be stronger than Zarkon's. The Black Lion shows him the ruins of the Galra home planet and some flashbacks to its time with the original Paladins, and then Zarkon taps into his link with the Black Lion and drags Shiro into a fistfight on the astral plane.
Shiro gets his ass kicked, no contest. Zarkon just has too much raw power for even someone as technically impressive as Shiro to overcome.
But while they're fighting, they're also yelling at each other about why the other sucks as a Paladin. Zarkon calls Shiro too weak to command the Black Lion, and Shiro throws back that no one commands it, and that the bond between Lion and Paladin is one based on mutual trust instead.
The Black Lion decides it likes Shiro's answer better and blasts Zarkon straight out of the astral plane.
Meanwhile, the kids come back from the mall with a fucking cow.
But now that they've figured out and solved the problem of how Zarkon was tracking them, Shiro decides it's finally time to pay a visit to the Blade of Marmora's main base. The Blades tell them that only two people are allowed to actually come in, and Shiro decides to take Keith with him. They have a chat on the way in about how Keith's been weirdly tense lately and needs to get it together because Shiro still wants him to take over if something happens to him, which unnerves Keith badly enough that he almost steers off-course and gets them both killed, gj team, nice huddle, but they do successfully manage to make it in.
Turns out, though, that Kolivan, the leader of the Blade of Marmora, is not really too keen on them being there. The meeting starts tense and only gets worse, as it turns out that Keith smuggled a knife in despite being told to come unarmed. A knife with the Blade of Marmora's logo on it. The Blades accuse Keith of stealing it while Keith insists that he's had that knife his entire life and meanwhile Shiro is just left like "??????" because where did any of this come from? Kolivan offers Keith the chance to prove the knife is his by taking the Trials of Marmora, which Keith readily agrees to. Shiro is still just kind of like "??????" but okay, guess this is happening now???
The Trials involve a lot of Keith getting his ass kicked, which Shiro is not happy about, and once Keith passes the physical ass-kicking section, he moves on into the mental ass-kicking section, where he's shown a hologram of Shiro who urges him to give up the knife and then berates him for being selfish, which the real Shiro is really not happy about. As the Trials get worse and worse for Keith, Shiro gets more and more agitated, and by the time Keith wakes up from his hallucinations, Shiro is 1000% ready to throw down with every single Galra in this base if that's what it takes to get Keith out of this nonsense.
But just as blows are starting to actually be exchanged, Keith declares that he'll surrender the knife for the sake of forming an alliance, and that sentiment is enough to awaken the knife as a proper blade. Kolivan helpfully notes that this is only possible if Keith has Galra blood, and that shocker's enough to kick him back to Emp. (Where he's already known this information for like half a year but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Updated Personality: Nothing too major, really, just the conflict of him not being sure of where he stands with the Black Lion has been resolved, just in time for him to get it as a regain here. :V
Updated Abilities: Nothing here! His bond with his Lion has been strengthened, but that's something to talk about when I put in that regain request, not here.
Other: N/A
Questions: So if I want him to disappear while he's on the surface for the event and then come back a couple of days after the event finishes and have to make his way back to the teleporter all by himself, is that doable? Or does one have to be on the island for canon updates to happen? If it's the latter, I'll just save it for after he gets back from the event. o7

Shiro will re-appear where his amulet is, so he can show back up on the surface and make his way back alone. Someone can also grab his amulet and bring it back and he can appear wherever the crystal was taken.
