January Activity Check
Hello Re-Alignment! It's time for the
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AC Rules!
***For this round only, to take the hectic holidays into consideration, you only need ONE activity example per character! The next Activity Check in March will require the usual two examples.***
~
EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITY
Examples of activity are really straightforward: we just need you to give us the URL to anytwo one of the following:
You may provide two of the same KIND of example (two Link posts, two log threads, etc.) Comment chains in which your character makes two or more comments at once will count as only one comment towards the total of the thread. If needed, you may combine multiple links to smaller threads until you have reached the minimum (so for ONE activity example, you could link to two main community threads with 5 comments each to reach the minimum ten comments.)
~
ACTIVITY SUMMARY
In addition to the two examples of activity provided, you must also give us an activity summary.
An activity summary consists of a small paragraph explaining what your character has been up to since the previous Activity Check (or since arriving in the game if you are new.) This can be as simple or as detailed as you would like! At the minimum, be sure to hit any events your character has participated in (either game events or character plots) and where they're currently residing. If you'd like to get more detailed (such as drawing up CR charts, mentioning what Firstforged they've talked with, or adding links) we're not going to stop you, as this will make a handy future reference for you as well as for us!
The activity summary will help the mods in determining alignment swaps, determining future Firstforged plans for your characters, and will also keep us from missing anything important about your character. In no way will your activity summary have any effect on you passing or failing activity check, unless it is completely absent. In other words, doing the minimum on this can't hurt you, but going above and beyond can help you!
~
EXCLUSIONS AND EXEMPTIONS
Characters are only expected to participate in an Activity Check if they have been in the game for a month or more. Generally, this means anyone who arrived in the most recent application cycle won't be expected to provide any samples of activity or a summary for that AC.
In order to qualify for an exemption to the Activity Check, you must have posted a hiatus of 2 weeks or longer to the official hiatus page during the period covered by the Activity Check. You may not request back-to-back exemptions, regardless of any length hiatus you may take. If you are unable to meet the requirements for activity due to real-life circumstances/an emergency, you MUST communicate with the mods before the end of the Activity Check.
~
FAILING ACTIVITY CHECK
If you fail to post to an Activity Check within the week that it is open and you have not contacted the mods beforehand, then any characters not posted will be dropped from the game. The mods will put up a list of characters in danger of being dropped at the end of Activity Check, at which point they will have three days to contact the mods and provide AC and explanation for failing it. After those three days have passed, the drops will be official and the characters will be removed from the taken list and PC page.
If you post to the activity check but do not meet the minimum requirements in your Examples of Activity, you will be given a one week period in which to provide one (or two, as needed to meet the minimum requirement) new example of activity of any kind. If you are able to do so, then you will have passed activity check and be fine (although the 'new' example of activity will not be usable in the next AC.) If you fail to do so, then your character will be dropped.

1st Example: Understatement of the century
Activity Summary: So once the Pillar affects wore off, he mostly regrouped with everybody, and met up with Wheeljack. Also he got plans for a Prime!verse Spacebridge left for him by his AU self. After that he talked to Skids and Fracas on the state of the poor road, and talked to people about ideas of how to get rid of the pillar. Jetfire mentioned plans to head down to the core to try and take it out from there, and Bulkhead volunteered to go since his construction knowledge could come in handy.
Once in the core he wound up teamed with IDW!Megatron of all people. The two of them worked together to find the best spots to hit the pillar to take it out, Bulkhead backed up with some kind of power from his Glyph that made it easier to find the weak spots. He also got saved by Knock Out when the con took out a pair of wolves ready to pounce on him. He was part of the team to take down the main pillar, while others worked to distract it and it's tendrils. Unfortunately, while he came out of it unscathed, the pillar decided to have the last laugh, and he spent the next few days after it was gone as a robotic wolf. Once he was back to normal, he regrouped with people again, especially Wheeljack.
The pillar also had the post affect of bringing into focus for, just how much even his small absence of a few days affected people he was close to. Thus he's starting to mentally shift more away from his warrior side, and focus on building, and more trying not to get too involved in fights unless construction is involved.
His glyph got a glow to it not soon after, and he started discovering he suddenly knew what stuff was made of. Which of course worried him until he talked to FOC!Perceptor, who convinced him it was a good thing. Sometime during this, Miko disappeared on him. And not long after that, he was confused and happy when both Ratchet and Smokescreen came back, though Ratchet didn't remember being here. He talked to Barricade, after the con announced he was leaving the Haven. But he got gifts from him in the form of Bay!Verse spacebridge plans and things, and wormhole stuff, plus a large selection of movies. He's also been talking to Fracas about doing more non road related construction, and recruiting new people to the crew.
On top of all this, he got a sudden summons from Solus Prime to go talk to her. He went expecting to get an explanation after not hearing from the the FF after they returned with the pillar gone. What he didn't expect was Solus to ask him to be an Initiate. After getting over the shock, and asking questions, he agreed.
Character Name: Skylynx
1st Example: Where art thou brethren?
Activity Summary: Sklynx woke up in Vector Prime's temple in the middle of the whole Pillar thing, and a whole new world opened up for him. For this Cybertron was far more populated than the one he'd been brought up on. He quickly met his first human and found out about dragons, and he also met Blackarachnia, who quickly asserted that Predacons can come in all shapes and sizes in other worlds. She also put the inkling in his mind that perhaps he should think of taking out Prime!Starscream. He Met Thundercracker while out flying, and talked to Sentinel Prime, Deckard and Knock Out. From Knock Out he found out they worked together to take out Unicron, and found out that Shockwave was here as well.
He also, finally, made contact with Prime!Starscream, and talked to Fracas and found out at one point that there was two Shockwaves here. He was a little disappointed that he didn't get to meet the other one. Also before the pillar was taken out, he answered a call from Thundercracker from the wastelands, and went out to rescue him. He brought the injured seeker back to Haven. Then he was excited when Darksteel showed up too, even in the same temple! The two soon met up, and he's mostly been sticking with the other Predacon since.
