Canon Update

Character Name: Mono
Current Canon Point: Just after he un-links the train car and is sent careening down a hill to get away from the Man in the Hat
Updated Canon Point: End of Game - He will have spent an undetermined amount of time in that room on the chair, not enough to have completely become the Man in the Hat though.
Personality Changes:

Since Mono is from the end of the game, before his remaining innocence breaks away from his older 'Man in the Hat' self to restart the loop again, a lot of the pain and instability born of his betrayal and solitude that he lacked will be there now.

Mono will be FAR more prone to bouts of anger, especially when things don't seem fair to him. Very similar to how overwhelmed he got during the crystal rain event, the kid's emotions are going to make him slightly unstable sometimes.

And after his battle with the Man in the Hat, and his recognition of the room he builds around him at the end of the game... Mono will have a pretty good idea that he is exactly the thing he's been afraid of all along. Mono is the Man in the Hat, it's his powers that are ruining his world... It's the signal he puts out without realizing it that draws everything in, all eyes on him. The signal tower he lives in amplifies it, spreading it through televisions all over the city.

Depending on the day he'll feel differently about his fate and the continuous cycle he's stuck in. Some days he'll be very revenge minded and feel like he should just accept his fate. Those are slightly dark days where he he wont be afraid to say what he thinks some people deserve.

Other days, Mono's fear about going back to his world will be stronger. He will be more than a little desperate to learn. To find anyone who might be able to help him figure out how to stop the cycle. The part of him that's still an innocent child that wants to be good, that wants to fix everything. That if he tries one more time... Maybe he can get it right. Maybe Six wont drop him next time.

Basically, the boy is going to become more than a little unstable. Very prone to holding a grudge, but also wanting to be good by his definition. That said, he at least hasn't come across anyone who is worthy of holding a grudge against yet. So at least that's a plus...?

Physical Changes:
Not many too much would have changed yet. Probably just a little taller, a little more spindly and awkward looking from being in the signal tower alone for an indeterminate amount of time. The static in his sclera is probably a little more pronounced as well, especially since he's more of a complete version of himself with access to his abilities.

List and describe any new powers obtained: Mono's abilities haven't changed from what was listed in his app, so much as he has a better idea of what he can do and will have a better feel for how to use them. This means he will be way more tempted to try things and to experiment. This could be good or bad, considering how potentially destructive his abilities can get and his unsteady emotions can make them rather unstable.
