Thisavrou's revival mechanism relies on a transfer: an entity using the most recent link formed by the Ingress energy to pull characters-as-they-were to the present day. Consequently, the default death penalty is a loss of anything that happened in the intervening period: the time between this interaction with the Ingress energy and now. Interactions include direct contact, world travel, or (at player discretion) prolonged proximity to a channel such as the Ingress shrines or memorial.
As the last visit or travel date is a matter of player choice, the duration of this loss is flexible—as (to a degree) is its permanency. For a first death, you have the following options:

As the last visit or travel date is a matter of player choice, the duration of this loss is flexible—as (to a degree) is its permanency. For a first death, you have the following options:
1. (For a base memory loss of at least three days) The character's revival is otherwise seamless, resulting in no damage to body or mind. However, they will have no signs or memories of the lost experiences, and will not regain them in the future.
2. (For a shorter base duration) The character's revival is relatively seamless, but being drawn from a point so close to death will bring some trauma along for the ride. They will acquire a significant and lasting phobia associated with the event, with its severity determined by how close to the death they were pulled back from. (i.e. two-and-a-half-days' loss and being consistently unsettled in dark places versus a-few-hours' loss and being reduced to immediate panic attacks when the lights go out). As above, what time is lost will stay lost.
3. (For a base memory loss of at least three days) A character's revival is initially seamless, and comes with the loss of time as described above. However, within a period of five days, they encounter a trigger that awakens a connection to the events of their death. This can be exposure to the corpse, a similar scenario to the one that resulted in death, or anything appropriate to the character. When this happens, they will experience traumatic flashbacks to their death, regaining both glimpses of the missing time and physical echoes of the harm they took. (ex. a broken limb for death by physical trauma.)

Canon updating your character is OOCly simple, though the in-universe explanation may prove complicated. Your character will fall into a brief coma for three days while their mind and body refresh to the new canon point. During this interval, they will be kept in cryogenic stasis in the Medical Wing.

Previous Canon Point: The end of episode 10, Collection and Extraction, Season 1
New Canon Point: Season 2, end of Episode 10
Detailed Description of New Canon Information: More information on the enemy they're fighting, a way to stop him, information on his teammates, on Pidge's family, and his own situation. Such as how he got out of captivity and one of the things his swiss army arm was meant for. He made some really questionable decisions while half dead and stranded on a planet. But none of this is really anything he didn't know beforehand, thanks to his teammates all being ahead of him in canon.
Except he really, really can't stand an alien shaped like an owl crossed with a ferret.
Any Notable Changes in Personality or Appearance: None

On November 24, Shiro will wake up in Avagi's Medical Wing having experienced the listed changes. At your option, they may also experience nausea, headaches, or general disorientation for the next few days.
Note: the modteam apologizes for taking so long to get to this! If you need to shift the date of Shiro's coma later to accommodate for any threads that have occurred in the meantime, feel free.

Previous Canon Point: Immediately post-Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
New Canon Point: Post-final boss of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, as he and his brother reach the shore after swimming away from Henry Avery's rigged-to-blow pirate ship.
Detailed Description of New Canon Information: Game plot here, but tl;dr Nate retires from treasure hunting life but ends up missing the life of adventure. Three years later, his assumed-dead brother Sam gets him to come on one last job, allegedly to find pirate gold to pay off a murderous drug lord (this is a lieeeeee), and Nate fucks things up with his wife by lying to her about what he's really doing. She finds out, it's bad, he finds out Sam made the story up to get him to come, that's also bad, and Nate ends up having a sword fight with a rich dickhead rival treasure hunter in order to give himself and Sam the chance to escape with their lives and realize the real treasure were the friends they made along the way. P.S. Sam snuck some of the gold away and gave it to Nate's wife, who then uses it to buy a salvage company and fund a life of legal adventure, but I'm taking him from before then.
Any Notable Changes in Personality or Appearance: A little older, a little (not much) wiser. At his current canon point, Nate is recently past a kind of mania fueled by an obsessive identity crisis. At the new one, he's over that particular issue but still really misses the regular kind of adventure and excitement of his old life. He's still figuring out how to do it (since I'm not bumping him to the very end), but he's realized over the course of this game that what he needs is a balance between his "normal" life and his adventurous life instead of choosing one over the other.
(FYI he wouldn't pass out for the update until probably Jan. 30.)

Previous Canon Point: Leaving the End of Line club
New Canon Point: On the bridge to the portal
Detailed Description of New Canon Information: Flynn finally agrees to head for the portal, and escapes with Quorra and Sam on a solar sailer, crossing the virus-laden Sea of Simulation. He repairs Q's damage from the EoL fight, catches up properly with Sam (finally), and gets to hear all about Clu's plan to leave the Grid (and drag a huge invading army with him) via Flynn's disc from the Admin himself. Flynn also witnesses the large-scale rectifier at work on Clu's ship, and gets his first (and last) in-canon glimpses of Rinzler. Following an aerial dogfight, in which it seems both Admin and enforcer lost their lives, Team Flynn finds Clu waiting for them on the bridge to the portal.
Dun dun dunnnn.
Rejecting Flynn's apology, Clu's reply comes as a hard kick that sends the User sprawling- and right back to Sav 💔
Any Notable Changes in Personality or Appearance: He's gonna need to process all of that, so he might be tetchy for a little while. Otherwise, now that the worst has happened, he's pretty damn sure he's moments away from death, and he already knows Sam will escape with Quorra, Flynn will be quite sanguine about the time he has left to him in Thisavrou. All the more reason to make this all count, right?
(Also, Flynn went into cryo on the 20th/21st, for reasons related to the absolute dreadful air quality and his health, so I'm cool with his not waking up until the 1st!)

On March 1, Flynn will wake up in Avagi's Medical Wing having experienced the listed changes. At your option, they may also experience nausea, headaches, or general disorientation for the next few days.

Date of Death: Within the week of 2/20
Date of Resurgence: 3/5
How they died: Storm exposure (plot relevant)
Has your character died before during Arc 3? If so, how many times?: Not counting canonically, 0.
Of the listed resurge possibilities, which general option would you select?: 3
Keeping in mind that some aspects of the death penalty are fixed in the new system, do you have any limits or preferences for the mod assigning penalties to keep in mind? Mod's choice!

"Stay. Come. You you (all of you) you have to—"
Meaning unravels to a swamping, massive pull. After joining with the motion, willingly or otherwise, they will feel as if stepping through a door—and then will have done so. Cayde will enter the between space with the others on March 5, and be transported with the rest of their allies. Initially, they will possess no memories of anything since their pre-death exposure to Ingress energy.
As you selected Option 3, Cayde will initially revive physically and mentally whole. However, after a period no longer than five days, they will encounter a stimulus that reconnects them with the event of their death. This can be exposure to the corpse, a similar scenario to the one that resulted in death, or anything appropriate to the character. When this happens, they will experience traumatic flashbacks both physical and mental, resulting in a general, permanent physical weakness--despite their robotic body, Cayde will no longer be more durable than the average human.
Over the week following their death, the marks that appeared during their exposure to the storms' energy will also reappear, though more sparsely than before. However, they will experience no other signs of transformation.

Date of Death: Unsure, somewhere at the beginning of March?
Date of Resurgence: 3/5
How they died: Mirtos transformation (unsure if from Ingress energy overload or killed by another character :Va)
Has your character died before during Arc 3? If so, how many times?: Yes, once (by shadow Shepard)
Of the listed resurge possibilities, which general option would you select?: 2
Keeping in mind that some aspects of the death penalty are fixed in the new system, do you have any limits or preferences for the mod assigning penalties to keep in mind? I guessssss a preference for serious but this probably has unique consequences anyway?

"Stay. Come. You you (all of you) you have to—"
Meaning unravels to a swamping, massive pull. After joining with the motion, willingly or otherwise, he will feel as if stepping through a door—and then will have done so. Lavellan will enter the between space with the others on March 5, and be transported with the rest of his allies. Initially, he will possess no memories of anything since his pre-death exposure to Ingress energy.
As you selected Option 2, Lavellan will revive physically whole. Mentally, he will lose the days that passed between his last exposure to the Ingress Energy and his death. Additionally, he will experience an irrational fear of weather phenomenon. While not consciously recalling his transformed state of mind, the sight of clouds will unsettle him, and being present in a (harmless, mundane) storm will bring feelings of helpless terror to his mind. He may believe he hears voices coming from the clouds, and though he can be made aware of the reality, the idea will prove difficult to shake.
Over the week following his death, the marks that appeared during his exposure to the storms' energy will also reappear, though more sparsely than before. However, he will experience no other signs of transformation.

Date of Death: within the week of 2/20
Date of Resurgence: 3/5
How they died: was exposed to the storm, but before he was fully turned into a Mirtos, Rogue killed him
Has your character died before during Arc 3? If so, how many times?: Not that I'm aware of. I was not in the game before Act 3.
Of the listed resurge possibilities, which general option would you select?: 3
Keeping in mind that some aspects of the death penalty are fixed in the new system, do you have any limits or preferences for the mod assigning penalties to keep in mind? I'm still trying to get that character arc with him. So if the consequences don't completely derail that (I can handle it slowing down, so no worries about the memory weirdness, even if he ends up losing an entire month) I'd appreciate it.
ETA: If there is to be any kind of permanent physical change due to the whole Mirtos thing, I would prefer that it not appear like a tattoo or brand but just normal scarring. I don't know if this was even a thing you were considering, but I wanted to make sure just in case.

"Stay. Come. You you (all of you) you have to—"
Meaning unravels to a swamping, massive pull. After joining with the motion, willingly or otherwise, they will feel as if stepping through a door—and then will have done so. Erik will enter the between space with the others on March 5, and be transported with the rest of their allies. Initially, they will possess no memories of anything since their pre-death exposure to Ingress energy.
As you selected Option 3, Erik will initially revive physically and mentally whole. However, after a period no longer than five days, they will encounter a stimulus that reconnects them with the event of their death. This can be exposure to the corpse, a similar scenario to the one that resulted in death, or anything appropriate to the character. When this happens, they will experience traumatic flashbacks both physical and mental, resulting in a power impediment--Erik will find his control over magnetism lessened compared to what it was previously.
Over the week following their death, the marks that appeared during their exposure to the storms' energy will also reappear, though more sparsely than before. However, they will experience no other signs of transformation.
Note: As you requested no tattoos for your penalty, please feel free to have the marks manifest as scarring instead.
