✽ CANON UPDATES
	Updating A Character If you are looking for a canon update or to give your character a canon possession, you’ve come to the right place! Canon updates and possessions may be completed at will, and do not require the expenditure of AC points. For housekeeping purposes, and to ensure that updates and items remain game-suitable, the mod team still requires an OOC notification of the change. CONSIDERATIONS There are some important things to consider when canon updating your character. Canon updates may be voluntary or involuntary - that is, a player may canon update a character who would not do so voluntarily themselves. This canon-update system does not, unfortunately, allow for characters to return with items from their new canon point, due to the nature of how the update progresses. Since they are not actually sent home, but are simply viewing it as if they were present, characters aren't able to update their items during this process, but the connection between the Dreaming and their worlds is strong enough that the memories will feel real, and physical changes will reflect on their bodies in Aifaran. IN CHARACTER ICly, canon updates occur by communing with the turtles that compose the archipelago. If done voluntarily, this is most easily accomplished by visiting one of the turtle's heads. Although still young, the continent turtles are vast both in size and spirit, and visitors will sense the wellspring of life and energy especially strongly there. Through meditation, a character may access the Dreaming so they can experience their canon. If a character experiences an update involuntarily, there are a few IC explanations that will be offered by planar experts. The young continent turtles do not necessarily have the same control and skill interacting with the Dreaming as Tu Vishan did, as evidence by how their moods sometimes have drastic impacts on the Life Plane, and a Dreamfolk may have slipped through as they slept. Although the barrier protects Aifaran and the archipelago, there may also be eddies that emerge where the Life and Dreaming planes are tightly intertwined, pulling in those around it before it vanishes. These and other theories are the subject of some study by the Metaphysics Faction, so your character's account of the incident may be in high demand! Because of the unpredictable movement of time in the Dreaming and in relation to the Life Plane, characters may be 'gone' ICly for varying periods of time, regardless of how far forward they progress in canon. They may return in as little as a few minutes or in as many as a few days. OOCly, this is at the discretion of the player.

✽ CANON POSSESSIONS
	Regaining A Canon Item So, you'd like your character to regain some of their canon possessions! These items can be anything, from aspects of their superhero life (would you like Tony Stark to be upgraded to the Mark 6 armor?) to sentimental bits and bobs from home (a picture or trinket belonging to a loved one, etc) to pets or other non-appable companions. Characters may receive either one large item or two small items from their canon per request. There is no ACP expenditure required to receive a canon possession. LARGE ITEM REQUESTS Large items are defined as vehicles, firearms, items of significant power, or large pets - anything that would be noticed in Aifaran and/or grant your character an extra measure of magical competence in any field. If you're requesting a large item, then the item should be something of importance and canonically indicated to be possessed by or strongly associated with that character. Examples of this include a Green Lantern's specific power battery, a pet or similar companion associated specifically with that character (such as Naga for Korra), or weapons/armor that the character is stated to have/is seen in possession of during their canon material. The item should not break the game or plot mechanics as established thus far, nor provide a simple answer to major conflicts. Examples of this would be any such deus ex machina item that provides a simple wrap-up to complicated issues (see: the genie lamp in Aladdin solving the Jafar problem with an itty-bitty living space). SMALL ITEM REQUESTS Small items are defined as items of minor consequence that are relatively associated with or of interest to the character as established in canon. Examples of this include ambrosia for the demigods, favourite foods, books, or trinkets. Making A Request Characters may receive these items ICly as soon as players submit an update notification. Once submitted, characters may discover the items anywhere in Aifaran, but most typically they can be found in one of the markets for sale at a reasonable price. The exact location will be up to the player's discretion. <b>Player Name:</b> <b>Contact:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Item Received:</b> <b>Additional Information:</b> (What is the canon item and how does it work?
