[ canon update ]

— 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: LWP
Character: Princess Allura
Current Canon Point: Season 6, Episode 6
Updated Canon Point: Season 8, Episode 13

Updated Background: Wikipedia episodes list

Updated Personality: When Allura last came to Emp, it was in the middle of blaming herself for falling for Lotor's lies, and it shook her confidence at bit as she kept learning about the lost years. In canon, however, experiencing them herself gives back her conviction that fighting Lotor was the right thing to do, and being able to save Earth, resurrect Shiro, and create a new arm for him strengthened her confidence not just in their cause, but in herself as a paladin and in abilities outside the war. She also begins to heal from the emotional wounds Lotor left her; while never fully forgetting the complex, tragic role he has in her life, she lets herself find new love again in finally returning Lance's feelings, looking to him as a source of solace and strength in the last stretches of the battle. A promised future of a home and family to look forward to after the war when she'd worried where she would go or if the paladins would move on from her.

That said... that resolve is once again a double-edged sword. Coupled with her anger at Honerva for all the damage she's done and taking advantage of the Altean colonists, she becomes dogged in her pursuit of a way to defeat Honerva; combined with her ease to be influenced, this leads her take in a dark entity- one of the main factors that drove Honerva to madness in the first place, and the leash she's been using to control the Altean pilots- insisting that its power and connecting her to Honerva is the best way to stop the witch, even when Honerva uses it on multiple occasions to turn it against the princess and take her out of commission at key moments. And in an unmeasured combination between her own temper and the entity's influence, Allura becomes more ruthless, almost willing to kill Blaytz, her predecessor, in the void of Honerva's mind, and torturing an already-purified figment of Zarkon with the pain he inflicted over ten thousand years.

It's not until the very end of their fight that she actually lets go of her anger and hatred, and sees Honerva as a woman in just as much pain. She convinces Honerva that life is WORTH living, even if it is painful, and that the two of them have a chance to make things right. So when she comes back to Empatheias, she'll be much, MUCH more at peace with herself and others than she had been in years, and while she'll be sad at not being able to share in that future, she'll be content and grateful to be able to have made sure they keep existing, and to spend just a little more time with them here.

Updated Abilities: Surprisingly nothing really NEW for once; mostly strengthening the powers she already has, such as greater practical knowledge of alchemy and magitech engineering, and a stronger bond with her Lion. There were also abilities granted her by the dark entity, but I plan on making that a non-factor during Allura's time here.

Other: Since Allura more or less gave up her physical form at her canon point and because she'll be leaving soon and I don't plan to use it anyway, I'm going to say that this is a new body that does NOT have the rift entity attached to it.
