Prototyping Segment

--Canon and background
(written in hope of eventual KMVRP)
Canon is usually, if working within a specific fandom, referring to knowledge of IC past events. In the KMV it usually refers to...
C1: AIO canon up to present day, following only official timelines and events. Minus the movies.
C2: The above plus the 'gaiden' happenings in the TH/Town of Odyssey timeline--the most common.
C3: Specialized canon of the BC Universe. Although just about anyone who wanted to bother could obtain an encyclopedic knowledge of this canon, only Serena, Xander and the rest of the various BC characters have an 'innate' knowledge.
C4: 'War' canon. Generally speaking, full knowledge of this type belongs only to Nightmare and Lancer, although with sufficient very good explanation it might be allowed as a character possession.

"Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination."
