September Activity Check
Hello Re-Alignment! It's time for the
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AC Rules!
~
EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITY
Examples of activity are really straightforward: we just need you to give us the URL to any two 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: Prowl mobilizes teams after Ambulon's death is broadacast
2nd Example: Private phone calls re: Plotting for Tarn's arrest
Activity Summary:
Lots of leading. Lots of deception. Mainly the latter but a little of the former (he's still an Autobot, honest).
> July 8th: During the Games, Prowl pursues IDW!Perceptor after the first attempt to (mentally) incapacitate Tarn with Chromedome failed. He pushes him to develop another, more potent stasis device.
> July 27th: sasses Chromedome to get his butt back to the Police Force after he came back from the dead. He's a good friend.
> July 30th: mobilizes Police Force teams after Ambulon's death is broadcasted. Simultaneously, he orders Arcee to incapacitate Rewind and plant him in DJD territory for their Raid team to find.
Blurr & a small team search DJD territory for evidence, while Prowl, Thundercracker, Chromedome, and FoC!Perceptor search for Ambulon.
When they find (what remains) of his body, FoC!Perceptor is ordered to survey the surrounding perimeter in case it was a lure for a trap.
With Thundercracker alone with Chromedome and Prowl, they get the news that Rewind has been found beaten(but comatose) in DJD territory (where it totally wasn't planted).
Using Chromedome's emotional instability to his advantage, Prowl drives him to use his mnemosurgery on Thundercracker to see if he could be pushed to that point. (The result is yes, and they got their first sleeper agent. BD)
>August 11: In McCrane's call to action against Tarn and the DJD, he insists on adopting a different strategy. When McCrane insists on saying no, he calls Arcee to get what he wants anyway (just in an underhanded way).
>August 13th: Calls Optimus and Ironhide privately to assist the Police Force against Tarn, bolstering their ranks. He's paired off with Blurr to look for Tarn.
>August 19th: chit chats with Chromedome about the comatose Rewind, using this alone time for forwarding his agenda where he could. But no really, he's a good friend.
>August 29th: Assault on Tarn's House!
Prowl sent Arcee ahead to find Tarn and set up Blurr as bait, knowing he’d be quick enough to (probably) evade Tarn and give the Police Force time to organize. While Blurr managed to buy them extra time as he intended, he was killed in the process. Prowl notified the rest of the teams of the DJD’s location, but not before having his arm torn off by Kaon and the Pet. Arcee saved him from being killed and he regrouped with the rest of the Police Force thereafter. Prowl advised McCrane on attempting a stealth mission and assisted in the third and fourth phases of the assault, helping in the final confrontation that resulted in Tarn’s arrest.
>August 31: Prowl approaches Rewind after he awakens from his coma, asking him if he remembered anything about his attackers to a) insure he didn't remember Arcee and b)seem like he's still investigating the attack. He's been chillin' at the hospital until he can get his arm replaced.
>~September 3-ish: After being released from the robohospital, Prowl gets to work on turning the PF HQ into the New New Institute, beginning the process of converting the captive and damaged Tarn to a sleeper agent with Chromedome's aid. And all under everyone's noses.
Character Name: Shockwave
1st Example: Knockout wakes up in Shockwave's lab
2nd Example: Shockwave makes a little contribution to the scientific community
Activity Summary:
>July 8th: Says hi to Fracas after he flies into an open Space Bridge portal and lands in his lab. It is the creepiest greeting ever, but Fracas leaves unscathed.
>July 24th: Joins bb IDW!Megatron in his trip into the Badlands, using his drones to scout ahead only for them to feed back conflicting or false data. After fighting the beasts alongside the group, he returns from the trip with pieces of samples, noticing that the monsters were adapting to them and developing stronger processors.
August 16th: Knockout wakes up in Shockwave's lab after he blacks out for a canon update. GOOD GRAVY. Shockwave used the Cortical Psychic Patch to figure out what's been happening on the other side.
August 19th: Four seems ecstatic about her creation day. Shockwave invites her to observe a dissection in progress.
August 31st: Under Prime!Megatron's orders, he sets up a psychic patch between Megatron and Fracas, so that he figures out that Knockout and Starscream turned half his army into zombie terrorcons that needed to be bridged to Cybertron's moons.
September 14th: Shockwave finds his Predacon bone and releases a message to attract other Cybertronian scientists to the endeavor of indroducing a new species to the haven.If they want to be alone with him in his lab.
He also finds Tarn's Vos-Rifle and keeps it for him, waiting for his return.
Four asks him to vivisect Crow and he agrees. Poor guy is gonna have the worst first date ever.
