Canon Update

Canon updates in Apocalypse How are non-standard. There's no going home, there's no coma. Instead, there is the Visionary, a young avatar located in Bonnie's Flophouse. They are a frail person who always wears a blindfold and does not leave the Flophouse. Those who wish to know their potential future may request that the Visionary provide one for them. The Visionary will always agree, but will caveat that this is only a potential future and that they will need something in return... something precious. In return for visions of a potential future, the Visionary will take one important happy memory from the character.

Please note, the Visionary will not initiate interaction or request characters make use of their services. It will be a character choice to engage with them and offer up their memories. If this is something the character would do, they will receive whatever new canon material you desire in exchange for losing a happy memory. There will be no way to verify the veracity of this information unless someone from their world came in from a later point in time to corroborate it. The lost memory can be a canon memory or one gained within the game; it just needs to be important to the character.

Lost memories will be noticeably absent from the minds of characters, like someone ripped something out of them.

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character:</b> CHARACTER NAME (<user name="CHARACTERJOURNAL">) <b>Happy Memory:</b> What important happy memory is the character giving up? <b>New Canon Information:</b> Please provide a brief summary of whatever canon information the character has gained. This can be bullet points. Anything that would measurably change a character's personality should be documented.

When the Visionary feeds, it feels like something is grasping at Jaeger's mind and twisting it, digging nails deep into the meat of his brain and pulling. It is nausea-inducing, like the worst case of vertigo he's ever experienced. He will feel his memory disappearing, ripped away in bits and pieces, taken by something enormous and unknowable. There are ragged edges in his mind, like the memory is a reel and the tape has been twisted and torn there. It is an emptiness that will ache forever, even when he's not thinking about that particular thing or the events surrounding it. He doesn't know what he's missing, but he can feel that it's missing.

And in turn, there will be thoughts, images, and possibilities shoved into his head, a swirling cacophony of memories he'll probably need a few days or more to fully process. Whether any of it is true or not... well, the Visionary makes no guarantees.

It is up to you if this update and feeding happens because Jaeger pressed the Visionary for a glimpse of his future, or because of an accidental slip on the Visionary's part. Either way, when it's over, the Visionary will look blissfully relaxed for a few seconds, like they've just finished a big meal and they're sitting back to mull over what's left of it on their tongue. But that vanishes soon enough, replaced by horror and apologies, and the Visionary rushing away, locking herself in the basement and refusing to speak to Jaeger or anyone else about it.

While there will be no physical change for Jaeger, he may experience phantom pains associated with the injuries these visions have given him.
