canon update
If you would like to update your character to a more recent installment of canon, here's where you'll find the details on that! In short, your character will disappear from Hadriel briefly, then arrive again along with the next new batch of characters (in the intro log after the next app round). Essentially, when the door surges and brings more people through, it'll bring through an updated version of your character. They'll retain all their memories of what has happened to them in-game, as well as whatever happened while they were gone in canon. They can come in with whatever was on them at the time, and any changes in appearance will be reflected as well.

CHARACTER NAME: Ivar Ragnarsson
USERNAME:
NEW CANON POINT: 5x20
CHANGES: Ivar reigns as king for a year and basically becomes more insane, ruthless, and brutal during that time. He gains a wife named Freydis, a woman both cunning and manipulative as he is. She does seem to truly love him to some extent, but she also feeds his ego to the point where he starts thinking he's a god in human form. He murders anyone who speaks out against him, including any supporters of the former queen Lagertha. He continuously mistreats his brother Hvitserk, the only one of his family still on his side, until Hvitserk finally has it, and betrays him. That's what happens when you kill two of your brother's girlfriends. Freydis becomes pregnant by another man, since Ivar is impotent, but he's so far into his delusions by now he believes the child is his. It wouldn't matter much to him anyway, for he cares more about an heir and having a child to love than whether it is blood-related to him.
Unfortunately, the child Baldur is born with a severe cleft palate, and while Freydis sees this as a sign from the gods, all Ivar can see is a child with a disability. He sees everything in his son that happened to him while he was growing up, seeing a lifetime of pain and suffering in store for Baldur if he grows up. It breaks his heart, but Ivar ultimately leaves him in the woods in a show of mercy killing, one of his few non-malicious acts during this period. When Freydis finds out, her affection towards her husband grows cold. Ivar's brothers attack Kattegat and attempt to take it back, but Ivar, clever as ever, outthinks them at every turn. The only blindspot he has is Freydis, whom he still loves dearly.
She ultimately betrays him, letting in Ivar's brothers through a secret entrance. While Ivar's loyalists engage them in one last desperate battle, Ivar confronts Freydis about what she's done. She admits to it fully and he strangles her in a fit of rage, even though he keeps repeating how much he loves her as he does so. When Ivar's brothers break into his quarters, he's nowhere to be found, but has left the bodies of his wife and son displayed on the bed. It shows that what he cares about losing isn't the power of the crown, but the family he's wanted for so long.
He's last seen heading with a traveling group of peasants towards Rus, made up mostly of present-day Russia. He's beaten, but not down, and he plans to come back stronger than ever. Ivar, as always, is a survivor.
