Canon Update

Kyle Valenti | drmcsexy | Will
New Canon Point: Season 3, Episode 13
Personality Changes:

• Most of Kyle’s updates from season 2 are about his capacity to love and balancing that with what’s right for him. Throughout season one, and in game canon, Kyle is one too love too hard and too much with a loyalty that means he isn’t careful for his own sake. He does it with Liz, even risking his life and his medical license and freedom for the sake of loving her, just as he has loving others in game in his first year in Duplicity. He realizes he owes himself more than being used for another’s desire, and he comes to that realization in canon as well. Having it in canon and game will help reinforce this for him, and give him distance on both that he needs to become more himself and working for his desires and his goals.
• Throughout the two seasons of his update, we see Kyle truly coming into his own. Standing up to his friends about their morals and ethics and about how they treat one another. Instead of hanging onto the past, he grows up even more in that time and becomes the voice of conscience for his friends, willingly calling them out on the things they’re doing to hurt one another, the risks they’re taking, and standing up for the underdog. While for most of the two seasons he still claims to be following his father’s code, he is also learning his own code as well. He starts working on his own ethics and where he draws the lines. Many of them about his heart though and what he’s willing to do with those that mean the most to him - and not just the girl he’s been in love with his whole life.
• The biggest change for Kyle is that when he came into the game, he came from learning his father was basically sleeping with the enemy. This has been something really hard for him and has influenced a lot of how he trusts and, more importantly, how he sees himself.
  
  In the seasons during his update though he learns that his father was a double agent and actually liberated a piece of tech that is part of how they’re going to defeat the dictator and help save those he cares about - and Max.
  
  He now stands at a place where he has to forge his own path, make his own code and decide how he’s going to live his life going forward. His dad’s betrayals have always weighed heavily on him, so this is definitely going to leave him a new way of looking at things.
  
  He has to face that the code he’s held himself to and then resented for fear that it was the code of a man that tortured aliens, and then realizes is not his own and now has to figure out something that Kyle hasn’t faced before this point in his canon. How to live for himself. Not for the woman he loves. Not for his father’s code. Not for the Valenti name that is both hated and revered in Roswell. Not for anyone but himself. It’s something he’s ignored for the sake of others, but now he has to figure out himself and what his purpose is.
  
  This is something he hasn’t done in Duplicity either. His identity in game has been tied to finding a place as Doctor Valenti here, in those he’s loved, in so many things like building his family and friends here. That same connection he’s held onto forever in his own world. Now it’s time for him to work it all out and remember what it is he hasn’t faced in so long. Who he is.
• The intervening seasons of Kyle's canon update show that his traits are they were coming into are dead on. We find out that besides all the hours as a surgeon, he is willing to spend all hours at the hospital to research and study medicine to expand his new branch of science he invented for the pod squad. We learn he's an emt as well. As for the martyr complex, well in the end Kyle nearly dies no less than three times during the season, all because of standing up for others and putting himself into trouble's way for them. Truly the memories of these times will reinforce Kyle's traits and working out just who it is he wants to be, and finding his own code to live by.
• Due to no reason whatsoever, Kyle has developed an ability to draw sharp, tetanus riddled metals to the right side of his torso to pierce the flesh and leave him bleeding to varying degrees of dying.

(If the updated is accepted, Kyle would fall into the coma on the 18th, which is a week after the episodes have aired, and then he would wake up on the 20th, aligning with arrivals.)
