September Activity Check

[re_alignedmods]

Hello Re-Alignment! It's time for the



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<b>Character Name:</b> <b>1st Example:</b> <a href="INSERT LINK/LOG/THREAD URL HERE">WITTY EXAMPLE TEXT</a> <b>2nd Example:</b> <a href="INSERT LINK/LOG/THREAD URL HERE">WITTY EXAMPLE TEXT</a> <b>Activity Summary:</b> (This only needs to be a small paragraph or list of what your character has done. Feel free to be general (IE 'McCrane has spent the last two months trying to find fuel to survive, getting an engine overhaul, and then building all the places.') or to be specific (IE 'McCrane has made friends with Noisy Boy, working with him to construct a punching block while trying to come up with ways for him to defeat Midas and thus gain the other robot's respect. He's also been...' etc).

AC Rules!

• -Comment to this entry using the above text box, once for each character. You may combine multiple characters into one post.
  
• -We'll be accepting any activity for this check that occurred between July 7th and September 14th.
  
• -You will need to post two Examples of Activity and an Activity Summary for every character you have in the game. (See below)
  
• -Any character accepted on August 15th or later will not be required to participate in this Activity Check.
  
• -You will have one week from when this post goes up to provide your activity check (so until end of day September 21th).
  

~

EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITY

Examples of activity are really straightforward: we just need you to give us the URL to any two of the following:

• -A Link-network post made by your character containing at least 20 comments of any kind
  
• -A log post made by your character containing at least 7 comments of any kind
  
• -Any thread in the main community in which your character has made at least 10 comments
  
• -Any thread in the logs community in which your character has made at least 5 comments
  

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.

Comments

[im_wavin]

Character Name: Rose originaldragoon
1st Example: Have some crystals
2nd Example: Asking Blurr to dragon sit.
Activity Summary:
* Rose joined IDW Megatron's expedition to the Badlands in which she found out that without her Dragoon armor, she heard the call, but with it on, her head cleared and she was able to fight. She found this both disturbing and relieving.
* She also joined as backup in capturing Tarn and Kaon. She was with the group that came in towards the end and went after Kaon. Afterwards, McCrane offered her to join the Police Force, which later she accepted.
* Since Smokescreen is gone and Tarn in jail, Rose is now the only member of the Defense Committee left. She is now trying to get other people to apply to join since she doesn't want all the decisions made by one person.
* She found a bunch very dense Crystals and has commissioned Knock Out to make her some armor that can go under her usual leather armor.
* She also got a motorcycle from the recent drop, in which she is trying to teach herself how to ride it. This is resulting in a bunch of scraps on her.
* Also she is setting a bad example by trying to avoid going to see the medics for an exam.


Character Name: Ravage im_wavin
1st Example: Wanting to share teh goodies!
2nd Example: And visit a friend.
Activity Summary:
* Ravage has just been his derpy self. He had fun doing the Karaoke during the celebration and so he wants to do it again, and has been advertising for it.
* He also found energon fruit that he's been happily sharing.
* He brought some of those fruits to Thundercracker when the seeker was in the Medbay during the airshow. This meant that Ravage missed the airshow but he didn't mind at all.
* Also, during the Lambda drop, he found Bulkhead's package that contained a canon. Turned out that Bulkhead had his, which contained a ballpit, which Ravage is now happily playing in.
* Finally, he noticed that his glyph has gotten bigger. He's not sure what it means, but he's assuming it's good, and isn't too worried. So times he can be seen going around in circles trying to get a better look at it.

[zer0thassassin]

Character Name: Zer0
Zer0 offends EVERYONE AT ONCE.
Zer0's first log: SOMEONE FIGHT ME.

Activity Summary: Zer0 has been a busy assassin! He's come into Haven, gotten into fights, mouthed off at people, joined Megatron's expedition to the Badlands, survived, came back, was involved in the Tarn debacle even if he didn't get to kill the guy (sad)... He's making a friend in the form of Arcee, which is terrifying for everyone else in the vicinity, but mostly he's just sort of running around being a huge troll, annoyed at how few things there are to kill here. You people and your laws suck. He's theoretically been staying at Liege Maximo's, but more honestly he's been floating around, making camp anywhere that suits his fancy.

[raceme]

Character Name:Blurr
1st Example: A conversation with Strelok
2nd Example: Network post
Activity Summary:
-Blurr took care of Rose’s pet dragon when she left for the badlands.
-He tried to comfort Flonne after she noticed that her powers were nerfed and he gave her the few sweets they had in the pantry.
-He got overjoyed to see Jazz there. More police Force peers always cheers him up.
-After Ambulon’s torture/suicide he went with the rest of the Police Force to DJD territory to confront Tarn. Instead, they found Rewind’s comatose bod.
-He discussed with Zer0 about sassy assassins and how killing is not allowed in Cybertron. It went as well as expected.
-Blurr managed to convince Blitzwing to help with the roads. If the Con wants to destroy things, the least he can do is help leveling the terrain while doing so.
-He experimented with Jetfire and the barrier around the planet he mostly just crashed against it, and trained his flying ability.
-He talked to Ambulon and confirmed That tarn murdered him. He also tried to convince him to see Rung. He’s been really concerned about Ambulon in general.
-McCrane made a joined post with him to organize the PF and Wreckers against Tarn.
-He talked to Blackarachnia and she offered the Police Force her venoms to help capture Tarn. Then she asked him out on a date/ to go drinking and Blurr agreed.
-Got almost killed by Tarn while they were trying to capture him and then the zombie turbofox finished him. It’s a good thing that he doesn’t remember most of it.
-Got back from the death to find Barricade waiting for him by the altar, it meant a lot to Blurr. He was also touched about how many people were concerned about his well being.

Character Name:Knock Out
1st Example: Network post
2nd Example: Joined Network post II
Activity Summary:

-He showed Blackarachnia around the clinic and they schemed talked about some sort of partnership when it came to experimenting.
-Knock Out met Red Alert and decided that people needs to get checkups more often so they might do something about it in the future. Now BA and him are talking about testing her venoms giving people non fatal diseases like the flu.
-He met Jazz and they instantly got along. It was very groovy, man.
-Blitzwing and him had a very mature, very serious paintball war. Except not
-He helped Rose to analyze the crystals she got thanks to the glowing bugs. KO agreed to make her an armor in exchange of more of those crystals.
-He was unconscious/sleep for 2 weeks while canon updating. Once he woke up he had the bitchiest fight with Fracas who blamed him for the zombies. The Vehicon was completely right overreacting, clearly.
-While testing large range weapons with Blitzwing they accidentally hit Sentinel Prime and cut off his head. The bot didn’t die, much to KO’s amusement. He kind of likes the guy, or at least he likes making fun of him.
-He eventually put Sentinel’s head back in place.
-After the Tarn incident he spend a lot of time in the medbay fixing those who needed help.

[happyduckbutt]

Character Name: Ventus
1st Example: Crash and Burn
2nd Example: Saying Good-Bye
Activity Summary: (Handy Timeline Thinger) It's been a rather rough time for the kid lately. His adventure into the Badlands with Megatron's expedition didn't go very well, resulting with his breaking his arm and a few bones from a rough landing with Thundercracker when they'd been asked to do some scouting ahead. His time since then has been spent recuperating for the most part. More of his friends have also since disappeared from the world, but even though he tries to assure himself that at least they'll be back where they belong, he still can't help but be saddened by their sudden departures.

Character Name: Hot Rod
1st Example: More Old Fogys
Supplement to 1st: Things Happening and Nothing to Do For It
2nd Example: "Uh, is it supposed to do that?"
Activity Summary: (Timeliney) The place has been a tease what with the appearance and disappearance of another but welcome familiar face. Hot Rod's been a little quieter for the things that have been happening around the Haven. He's begun to wonder about his place in things, and what he should be doing. ...and he wasn't all too happy to find that his Glyph seemed to be shifting with the slight influence of Megatronus.

Character Name: R2-D2
1st Example: Paging Wheeljack
2nd Example: Finder's Keepers
Activity Summary: (Timeline Thing!) Artoo finally got on the ball about going over to check out Wheeljack's ship, having been looking more into finding out about the possibilities of space travel. And then Threepio did dumb things for which he was not surprised whatsoever. Just when he thought things couldn't get any weirder, he and Threeps came upon an unusual finding in their Junk Pile scavenging.

[treacherous_widow]

Character Name: Blackarachnia
1st Example: She's not lying for once.
2nd Example: Reminding Red he promised to help.

Activity Summary:

As of late, Blackarachnia's been keeping more to herself. This time she's experimenting with the stimulants and narcotics she has, her own poisons ect and working on developing a virus that makes bots and organics sick or if not possible, just engineering a poison that mimics the flu and seems to be resistant to cures except the one she creates. Why? Why not? [Note: She hasn't gotten completely to the testing stage yet.] Though... she has been tempted to start dealing the drugs if she can manage to get some bots hooked on them >.>; [This is why you don't let her get bored.]

Speaking of testing: She's talking Knock Out into helping her test some of this stuff.

Otherwise, she's been sitting back, poking Miko into doing handling the Overseer voting or to see if anyone's even interested in it anymore so no one can say she rigged it. If voting does happen, She's throwing her self into the nominations.

Blackarachnia is also NOT happy Blurr died. Also. She got a wolf plushie that looks suspiciously similar to Silverbolt and says 'I love you'. It... may get a pair of gold wings sewn onto it soon. And in other news, she'll be working on designing a weapon for Blurr to use.

[whatbedsidemanners]

Character Name: 4
1st Example: Happy Birthday to you~
2nd Example: Shape up or I'll kill you
Activity Summary:

To start out on a good note, Four went with the others out into the badlands. She turned out to be very useful, as she was able to everyone's link translator, which would have made travel more difficult. Unfortunately, she ended up getting stepped on and injured, though it didn't put that much of a damper on her spirits.

When one spends most of their time in the company of criminals, it's hard to keep your already questionable moral compass in check. Four has been spending most of her time being taught music and poetry from Tarn, and science from Shockwave. This has resulted in a stitchpunk who believes that deceiving a friend and leading him to Shockwave is an acceptable thing to do, because she's curious about what he looks like inside.

The capture of Tarn has left Four with a few questions though, and she hopes to get them answered someday, preferably from Tarn himself. She knows that siding with Tarn was the wrong thing to do, because Tarn is a bad guy, but at the same time he has always treated her well. It's difficult thing for her to work through. Oh, and she semi-confessed her feelings to Shockwave, who took it as well as Shockwave could.

Character Name: Megatron
1st Example: Megatron does something for the lulz
2nd Example: Part 1 Part 2
Activity Summary:

Megatron has mostly been sitting in the shadows, watching things as they go by. He tends to only surface when he wants to amuse himself with something, whether it be joining the Police Force or tormenting Starscream. His resources are few, and the number of Decepticons loyal to him are even fewer, however Shockwave more than makes up for any of that.

He intends to have a more active part to shaping the future of Cybertron... but not yet. For now, he will wait.

Character Name: Cody Burns
1st Example: Education is necessary... unfortunately
2nd Example: Kay what are you doing
Activity Summary:

Cody's been busy enough. Working under Prowl all the time means that he's never without things to do. Still, he wishes that he could do more. He often tells Mccoy, despite the other's concern, that he thinks his workload is just fine, and that there isn't much need to worry. In fact, Cody has recently decided to try out for a spot on the Law Committee, wouldn't that be cool? After a talk with Kay, Cody is determined to find something for her to do, even if it's a little bit dangerous. Also Cody is determined to set up surveillance cameras around the temples. He'll get to that someday.

Character Name: Chromedome
1st Example: All the robot manangst
2nd Example: Love of my life
Activity Summary:

Chromedome has let himself be influenced by Prowl so much that he ends up doing what he wants almost without question. Prowl asked him to inject into Thundercracker in order to bring him under his control, and Chromedome complied. He believes that what they're doing is for the greater good, and that he can help bring order. This will make everyone safe. His convictions were further cemented when Rewind was put into a coma, apparently by Tarn. Angry, Chromedome went along with the others to take the DJD down, only managing to suffer minor injures along the way.

When Rewind finally woke up, Chromedome explained what happened and was happy that his lover was back. He plans on keeping it that way. At this moment, he's stalking both Starscream and Tarn in prison.

Character Name: Red Alert
1st Example: Signing you all up for healthcare
2nd Example: Mingling at the hospital
Activity Summary:

Overall Red Alert has been focused on the well-being of everyone and spends most of her time tending to them. Despite her disdain towards Megatron, she agrees to go along with him on his field trip to serve as a medic. During that time she managed to patch up Starscream's wing (whom she sarcastically refers to as "Skyfire"), and stopped him from killing an interesting specimen. She finds the blades and samples she got from the centipede to be worth leaving it alone.

Red Alert's been trying to crack down on the number of idiots mechs who are too proud to come to her when they need help. Her first solution is mandatory health care. Her initial proposal was met with general approval, as her fellow medics were also keen to grab those stubborn patients. She hopes to gain more support from the committee, since she can't exactly enforce this herself. On the side, she's met and spoken with Knock Out and may play a part in engineering an illness with Blackarachnia. Nothing serious, but it would help make her point that monthly checkups would be useful. It's not very ethical, but it's for the greater good, yes?

[we_re_doomed]

C-3PO:
1st Example: C-3PO is totes up to date with everything
2nd Example: Artoo and Threeps go scrap spelunking
Activity Summary: For a protocol droid, C-3PO was not up to date with the latest happenings events. While he knew of the trek toward the badlands, he wanted no part in it. After all of that, he tagged along with R2-D2 on a trip to the junk heap. Here, Artoo found a familiar light saber. Threepio recognized it as Luke's, but he was left confused as to why his counterpart seemed vaguely solemn over the discovery.

[my_own_trope]

Requesting an exemption for Pscream because I've been on hiatus here: http://re-alignedmods.dreamwidth.org/3596.html?thread=548620#cmt548620 and here: http://re-alignedmods.dreamwidth.org/3596.html?thread=526604#cmt526604

Ugh, Tarn

[songofmypeople]

Character Name: Tarn
1st Example: 6 comments on 2013-08-08 + 2 comments on 2013-08-06 + 2 comments on 2013-08-08
2nd Example: 6 comments on 2013-09-09 + 5 comments on 2013-08-08
Activity Summary:

Fire on the mountain,
Tarn's Good deeds:
- Tarn continues to be nothing but an excellent father figure, welcoming back Crow, Megatron, and Four from their Decepticon Adventure. [He also reminds them of the values of the arts --- especially Megatron's poetry.]
- Tarn also welcomes Ambulon back from the dead. Because while he might hate the guy on principle, there's really no need to be rude
- Zer0 requests education on the nature of classical music and Tarn is all but willing to help
- Tarn and Megatron continue to discuss what would be best for the Haven's safety in general, against the monsters at their door
- Tarn is a good sport, and CONTINUES TO DEMONSTRATE EXEMPLARY PATIENCE WHEN PEOPLE START SMEARING HIS NAME AND ACCUSING HIM OF THINGS WITH NO PROOF. Sure he COULD go out and murder everyone for being so incredibly rude and unendingly hurtful... but that just doesn't seem like the sort of thing a gentleman would do.
- Tarn returns Ambulon's December Item Drop model car (which he had to have built by Four because his hands are just too yaoi to even hold the damn thing)
- Since no one in the search party actually asked him where he was, Tarn didn't know he was needed and spent a good portion of his time being the little tank that could in the library
- Music, art, history, and politic lessons continued as scheduled for the Decepticon Cub Scouts (up until they didn't)

Run boys, run.
Things that haven't been proven in a court of law:
- That the DJD had anything to do with Ambulon's suicide (something you'll note that is by definition: self-inflicted) --- And even if they did: that there's anything wrong with Ambulon fulfilling his contractual agreement with the Decepticons as denoted in the faction's enrollment and quitting clause
- The planted comatose body of Rewind on DJD property being anything but coincidental
- Every single murder that's happened in the last 11 months being anything but circumstantial
- That (IDW)Perceptor, Albert, Drill Boy, and Blurr's death's weren't caused by environmental acts of god (see collapsing buildings and wild animal attacks) and weren't in fact due to self-defense when they trespassed and then aggressively mobbed the DJD and their property (Including the abuse of a beloved household pet)
- That Tarn is guilty of anything past a little robot roughhousing (Even THAT hasn't been proven, and the best anyone's got is 1 dude and a case of he-said, she-said)
Things that haven't gone through any paperwork procedures at all:
- The eviction of Tarn from the Defense Committee
- That there's a cop who tried to brain-hack a guy who's now in custody, and that dude is still a cop

The devil's in the house of the risin' sun.
Other:
- Further Item Drop items that Tarn has yet to get his hands on: +1 creepily familiar Vosian corpse gun
- The Pet's in terrible shape and has no one to feed it or take care of its injuries
- What used to be acres of free construction and renovation in Prima's sector now looks like a warzone and what used to be a very cozy DJD home is now rubble.
- Tarn has been beaten pretty badly, is currently in the custody of 2 dudes who're okay with brainmucking, and enters his third week of not being fed and no legal representation. Funny how all those rights that the Defense committee suggested earlier are suddenly unavailable

[angleofscience]

Character Name: Jetfire
1st Example: Jetfire, while being a bit on edge, due to Things, distracts himself with confirming the effect of the no-fly shield around Cybertron, and a few other things.
2nd Example: Fracas has problems with flying.
Activity Summary: Jetfire has helped Fracas with pointers about flying after the mech got reformatted, talked with Kagerou and Perceptor about what their Pixel-finds were, got increasingly on edge when Starscream disappeared without saying anything after Megatron's group as they went to the Badlands (distracted himself with testing the barrier around Cybertron with a drone), picked Starscream up when he came back, and talked with Shepard and McCoy, offering the latter some anatomy lessons when he wanted to start to become more useful in regards to injured Cybertronians.

Character Name: Skywarp
1st Example: Visiting an injured Thundercracker.
2nd Example: Talking about the trip to the Badlands, and the item drop "present".
Activity Summary: After the trip to the Badlands with Megatron where he warped deeper in and saw what might be in store for them, Skywarp has laid low, even if he's been bored. He visited an injured Tundercracker and, later, when he found a throne apparently meant for him, actually poked the Link about said item of furniture and about the army amassing in the Badlands.

Character Name: Cliffjumper
1st Example: Asking about other realities' Vector Sigma and how it could help them get home.
2nd Example: Arguing with Barricade about being friends with Blurr.
Activity Summary: Followed a Pixel trail and found a deposit of giant crystal energon, escaped with some mild effect of the energon radiation. Later inquired about other realities' Vector Sigma, since he remembered the Caretaker had given the other realities it mentioned coordinates, and the Transtech in Axiom used another system - maybe they could use that as a starting point to figure out how to get home?
Talked with the Engineer about where he was, and with Hot Rod about their glyphs and what they mean. Was present for the Tarn take-down, and assisted Optimus during the last part, came away with no injuries but really angry about Blurr dying - and that Barricade was waiting around at the altar.

Character Name: Elita One
1st Example: Ambulon is back, Elita is relieved.
2nd Example: Elita talks with an injured Swoop after the Tarn takedown.
Activity Summary: She's met (another) Arcee, this one with a fair bit more troubling background than the blue one, and was happy to see Grimlock back. Met Fortress Maximus and talked a bit (warily) with one of the Megatrons. She wasn't happy at all when Ambulon died, and relieved he's back - even if he's not doing too well. Met Frenzy to keep him occupied, and while she wasn't there for the Tarn takedown, she went to the medbay to check on Swoop and Optimus.

[primest]

Character Name: Sentinel Prime
1st Example: Jazz arrives, Sentinel is confused (and angry)
2nd Example: Sentinel and Jazz go for a dig in the Junk Pile
Activity Summary:
-Sentinel has mostly been douching around Vector's temple and occasionally going out for drives to explore the surrounding area while moping about not being in the right universe to be Magnus anymore ;_; first world problems
-He recently asked Blurr about joining the Police Force though so hopefully we'll be going somewhere with that.
-He also managed to lose his head (literally)
-After reluctantly following the Pixel trail and digging through the mud (ew) he found a half finished statue carved into an image of a Cybertronian he does not recognize. It's currently gathering dust on a shelf in his room because Sentinel being Sentinel doesn't really care enough to ask about it.
-Was present at Kay's birthday and spent most of it being annoyed by Knock Out.
-He also went to say an awkward 'hey glad you're alive now' to Blurr when he came back.

Character Name: Isaac Clarke

He just arrived so uh

[neverputincharge]

Character Name: Bulkhead
1st Example: Bulkhead gets restless and finds some balls
2nd Example: Also, drugs suck.
Activity Summary:
- Talked to Cliffjumper about his Vector Sigma, and the Matrix
- Met TFAJazz and found out more about Jazz's world's Bulkhead
- Talked to FoCPerceptor about the crystals he found while following Solus' sprites. Found out from Blurr that they were really drugs from his world. Whoops, thanks Solus. He later gave Perceptor a small sample, and then tossed the rest of them in the lava in Megatronus' quadrant. We don't need druggies here people.
- Despite his transgressions, he went to help Smokescreen, when Knock Out just passed out on him. Also found out they were dating.
- Fracas woke up, and Bulkhead found out about zombies...and that Knock Out and Starscream helped create them.
- Knock Out woke up, talked with him and found out more about zombies. What is his world coming to?
- His glyph changed again, and he found out from Wheeljack of what he knows of it and what to expect.
- Talked to Hot Rod about the glyphs, and found out he was a Glyphleess returned.
- Found out that Arcee, Cliffjumper, Jack, Raf and Smokescreen all disappeared from Haven. Also had Miko pull one of her 'sneaking out to do what she shouldn't' when she decided to go on Megatron's fieldtrip into the badlands. Yeah....that, wasn't a good week. Haha.
- Took part in the big take down of Tarn and Kaon, coming out of it relatively unscathed. Got Wheeljack to safety after he got his his arm and hand smashed, and later helped take down Tarn, working along side Optimus Prime, Cliffjumper and Wrex.
- After all that he also had to retrieve the pieces of Blurr's body and take it to Vector's temple.
- Spent most of his time in the med-bay, by Wheeljack's bedside, and probably checking with other injured that he knows.
- Glyph effects finally kicked in, and he got restless, so he got in contact with Ravage about his balls pit. He gave Ravage his ball pit, and got an awesome cannon in return.
- Also he was excited when Blurr came back from the dead.
- Voted yes that they should elect an Overseer. But that maybe their backgrounds should be checked first.

[wherenobotsgone]

Character Name: Skyfire
1st Example: Thread
2nd Example: Log
Activity Summary: Skyfire has been busy trying to gather as much knowledge as possible. He isn't sure if it'll have any practical uses, but it can't hurt, so he's been doing things like helping Jetfire test the barrier around Cybertron by providing control readings (since he has no modifications or glyph-related abilities). He's also talked to both Jetfire and Cliffjumper about possible ways to classify different realities, and decided to start looking in the library for existing data before trying to come up with his own.
However, he was distracted from this work by his friends getting in trouble in several occasions. The first one was when Starscream returned wounded from the Badlands, and Skyfire spent some time both keeping him company and trying to give Jetfire a rest from Starscream-sitting. Some time later, he found out that Blurr had died while helping capture Tarn, and Skyfire went to check on him as soon as he returned.

[rednotbluethx]

Character Name: Frenzy
1st Example: here
2nd Example: here / here / here

Activity Summary: Frenzy went with Megatron on his quest to the Badlands. Beyond that, he's been a little prick, as usual.

Character Name: Ambulon
1st Example: here
2nd Example: here

Activity Summary: Ambulon was sort of murdered by Tarn - well, tortured and driven to suicide, but you get it. He came back, though. But he hasn't been doing well, at all. Insomnia, triggered moodswings, lack of appetite, etc etc. However, he still insists on doing work and getting out and about. This includes attending Wing and Drift's wedding, visiting with Barricade, helping fix Wheeljack, getting angry at prejudice assholes, and helping with repairs to the wounded who came back from the Badlands quest.

Beyond that, he made Wing uncomfortable, fret over Drift (as usual) and Perceptor, and helped tend to a grievously injured Rung.

Character Name: Leonard McCoy
1st Example: here
2nd Example: here / here / here

Activity Summary: McCoy has been... McCoy. Working, fretting over the kids, getting lessons on Cybertronian medicine and whatnot from Red Alert, involving himself in politics and recent goings-on, etc. Right now he's proposing a search party for Lyra and Raf.

[fun_police]

Character Name: Prowl
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.

Character Name:Barricade
1st Example: YOU'RE That Guy? (7 comments); Flirting with Megatron? MAYBE~ (4 comments)
2nd Example: Tarn and things
Activity Summary: Barricade has mostly been busy with work - the Police Force's firelizards won't build themselves, after all - though he has occasionally taken some time out to respond to people on the network when they managed to catch his attention. He did, in fact, notice Tarn's torture transmission, and has generally (awkwardly) disapproved of it. Not that he's exactly telling anyone he does, or why he does... or that he knows Tarn at all, in fact. Except that he told Mirage he knew the guy and was met with the instant expected "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU". He doesn't have to justify his weird crushes to anyone though so he just avoided mentioning his weird crush and accused Mirage of mother henning him instead. He managed to dig out a small orbital assault carrier from the Junk Pile, and started trying to fix it up. He had to lay off for a while to sit vigil next to Blurr's corpse until he woke up, though. Don't want to leave maybe-sorta-not-quite-boyfriend alone, which led to much hilarity between he and Cliffjumper.
Also he has casually flirted with half of the people he has met. He just can't help himself.

Character Name:Fracas
1st Example: Fracas fails at flying, yet also aces alliteration.
2nd Example: Fracas wakes up!
Activity Summary: Much of what Fracas has done recently has been training with Shockwave, working on roads with Bulkhead (until Fracas stopped because Skids was on the Synth-En and no way is he workin' with that), and learning to fly both with and without help, to varying degrees of success. At least now he isn't crashing into every single building he sees. Also, Fracas kept himself busy for the better part of a month... by being in a coma. Since the point when he woke up, he's been on a tiny crusade to stop any attempts to make zombies, because everyone he knew back home died on account of them. Poor guy. He even went so far as to let his Megatron perform a cortical psychic patch on him, to make sure that something was done about Knock Out and Starscream and their abomination-making ways. This led to the bitchiest fight between him and Knock Out ever, wherein Fracas resolved to be a person, dammit. How this is going to work out for him is up for debate.

Character Name:Swoop
1st Example: Swoop obtain crystals!
2nd Example: Swoop have questions!
Activity Summary: Swoop has kept himself busy lately, though how constructive that busy-ness is is... debatable. To start, Grimlock came back, a fact that Swoop that extremely happy about. Happy enough to start scheming up a welcome back present for his alternate-universe sorta-boyfriend, which worked out just fine when he heard that Saber had found some kind of crystals that looked strong enough to be made into a weapon. He planned to make said crystals into a dagger, but was derailed by both his inability to construct weapons and by being part of the big mission to bring Tarn to justice. Who Tarn is and why he should care about Tarn he's not so sure about, but Wheeljack needed all Wreckers on deck and he hasn't had a good fight in a while. Not that this fight was particularly good for him, seeing as he managed to get shot in the gut with Tarn's double fusion cannon in a bid to distract the guy from killing Wheeljack. It worked - Wheeljack lived - but Swoop has been laying in the medbay since then, healing. He's perfectly fine with it, though, since he ended up there for rescuing someone. He and Slag continue to not get along, which may have been what convinced Swoop to pull the stunt in the fight that he did. Call him a disgrace to Dinobots, why don't you? We'll see who's laughing when he gets shot saving someone! ... wait.

Character Name:Strelok
1st Example: Wisdom from the Zone
2nd Example: Back from the Badlands~
Activity Summary: Strelok has, for the most part, done Strelok things. Mostly that boils down to rummaging through garbage and chatting with people. He spent some time disapproving of both the Police and Tarn, and tried to make it very clear to Blurr that, while he likes Blurr pretty well, he just doesn't trust cops. Too much power in one place, etc. etc. He also attempted to make it very clear - to Ironhide at least - that he doesn't particularly care about the Autobot/Decepticon divide because hey, that's just not how he rolls, bro. Strelok also spent quite a while off on a trip to the Badlands with other refugees. There he noticed that the Badlands were expanding, and also helped out IDW!Starscream with one of the creatures from the Badlands. Also, now he has a puppy! It's adorable! ... sort of. And found an Audrey II that eats energon. It's a lot easier to feet mutant plants when they aren't eating you.

Breaking hiatus to make sure this gets done

[notyourblueangel]

Character Name: Thundercracker
1st Example: July 9th
2nd Example: August 1st
Activity Summary: Well, to start with, he wound up in the hospital instead of in glory at the Haven Games and Air Show. That sucked. A lot. Then he helped Fracas learn to master those wingflaps so he'd quit crashing into all and sundry. (Then his mun went on hiatus – again – for most of the rest of the month of July, which sucked for him even more. OTL)

When one of the Megatrons arranged for an expedition to the Badlands, Thundercracker dutifully followed. Things were relatively quiet, all things considered, until the third day out when Megatron ordered him and Ventus to scout ahead, exploring aerial routes to and over the Badlands. The pair found out the hard way that it's . . . just not feasible, their systems finally shorting out and forcing both to ground. Thundercracker was effectively blinded until his ARS could recover, while Ventus suffered broken bones and other injuries. The two hunkered down together until the main force passed them again on the way back, making their reports at that time. For better or worse, at least they were spared the primary conflict that tore through the rest of the forces.

Things were quiet for a nice long time (read: all of about a week?) until an avant-garde video was anonymously posted to the network. No one was fooled – Tarn had struck again, this time targeting Ambulon. Thundercracker was right out there with the rest combing the land with aerial sweeps to find the tortured mech. When Prowl called for a more organized effort, the Seeker begrudgingly obeyed the command to team up with him and Chromedome and "that crabby Autobot scientist jerk" (FoC Percy) for their part of the mission. Soon after, he patrolled with Drill Boy and got to know the human-built AI a bit more. Then he was part of the assault that took down Tarn and Kaon. And then his mun went on hiatus for the entirety of September due to work.

As an aside, things between him and Four continue to be (uncharacteristically?) adorable.

[aerospacecommander]

Character Name: Starscream
1st Example: Starscream still harassing Skyfire
2nd Example: Bothering Wheeljack + Bothering Ironhide
Activity Summary:

Starscream followed Megatron into the badlands but ended up getting injured in the process ... and saved by a human and an Autobot. He isn't quite sure what to think about that. In other news he conned Jetfire into making gave Kay a metal drone crab. Which was to prove how awesome that he's not a bad guy and everyone should vote for him. Because he still is trying to gain power both by harassing Megatronus and trying to become Overseer of the haven.

Aaaaand I need a save for Laharl. Because I fail.

[wrex_it_krogan]

Character Name: Crow T Robot
1st Example: Crow on the lam
2nd Example: Crow and the glove
Activity Summary: Where to begin? It was a month of rising stars and fallen heroes as Crow went out into the Badlands with his Decepticon brethren (and Four). There he watched as some of said comrades face death and escaped with only a haunted VCR. When he came back he had some more father/son times with the sociopathic Tarn. He also formed a weird friendship with Four after making weird small talk with her. And also began his strange antagonistic rivalry with R2D2. Soon afterwards, Crow learned of Tarn's real nature and decided to go on a short fugitive spree, only to talked into a date with four which was more of a dissection by Shockwave.

Character Name: Albert Heinrich
1st Example: A guide to small talk with Albert and Blurr
2nd Example: Albert's glorious return
Activity Summary: Once again Albert's been on edge with the Tarn situation. During that time as tensions rose he was charged with keeping watch over Ambulon and keeping him safe. The mission went pretty well...until the raid on Tarn's place began. There he watched a close comrade Blurr die at Tarn's hands. Determined for vengeance, Albert fought until he managed to get a glimpse of Tarn's real face. But that victory would go unremembered as he was crushed by rubble. He returned, solemn but happy they got Tarn and Ambulon was safe. Even more bittersweet was Blurr's return where both of them tried their hand at socializing more.

Character Name: Urdnot Wrex
1st Example: Re-reunited
2nd Example: Wrex comes close to being deep
Activity Summary: Before Wrex had been so bored he started arguing with Kay over synthetic crabs. Wrex thirsted for some action and the Wrecker's raid on Tarn was just the thing. He even managed to get some shots as they brought the creep down. Of course, he knew that combat had a price and made sure everyone knew it. And like any warrior he went drinking with his pal McCoy. Somewhere in between the lambada had been kind enough to grace him with a new Varren pet and he became reunited with his chief commander Shepard. Not too bad, considering everything that happened.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Character Name: Wheeljack
1st Example: Alright ladies, the kitten whispers and tickle fights end here.
2nd Example: Worst Patient Ever
Activity Summary:
-Warns Perceptor (again) of the dangers of Synth-Energon. That stuff can be dangerous, bro.
-Meets Megatron again. They're...on good terms!
-Once Ambulon's death got out, Wheeljack got increasingly peeved, started to assemble his Wreckers for when the Police force decided to take action.
-Asked Solus Prime to borrow one of her forges, to use the mineral he got from the lights to turn into a whip-sword.
-Talked to Ambulon and got the culprit for his death, and that's all he needed to launch an assault
-Finished his ship with the help of FoC!Perceptor and R2-D2 just in time for said attack.
-As sad as it is, tried to tell Perceptor that Smokescreen's gone. He's gotten used to loss, okay.
-When the time to arrest Tarn came to be, Wheeljack led the Wreckers, and took on Tarn toe-to-toe. He managed to get him in the eye and do some damage, at the cost of one of his arms and almost dying to his voice. Was saved by Thundercracker and Swoop.
-Ended up in the medbay afterward, having some nice bonding times with his visitors/doctors.

Character Name: Kay Faraday
1st Example: I wanna be the very best.
2nd Example: Mama Shep!
Activity Summary:
-Met Jetfire. Is amazed that robots come in old-man flavour

[dinnerdate]

shockwave [bayverse]
   1st Example: one
   2nd Example: two
   Activity Summary:

   • Continuing to train Fracas, as usual. Which somehow included talks about flying this time around.
   • Continuing to work on his little projects and not care about anything.
   • Completely argued constantly with (and probably terrorized) Solus' acolytes, while Fracas was in his coma. Why he needed to be in that temple and not Megatronus', since he lives there, he doesn't know.
   • Debating having a training day where Fracas' goal is to punch Knock Out. Considering how Fracas was upset when he woke from his coma it would likely be good for him. And he really doesn't want that building up into something incredibly illogical that could tamper with the proper training.
   • Incredibly interested in the other Shockwave's expanding fauna idea. Which of them can make the better pets.

dead end [tfp]
   1st Example: one
   2nd Example: two
   Activity Summary:

   • Paniced over Rung being hurt. This seems to be a thing, and he never seems to be around when it happens. Wow he sucks.
   • Blamed Smokescreen for doing something to Knock Out. I mean you don't make those kind of posts unless you're guilty of something.
   • Megatron is back, so he's trying to not draw too much attention to himself. He likes not having a boss. Well. That kind of boss.
   • Rung vanished so has been ever more broody than normal.
   • Continues to work at the bar and be a depressed lump.

slag [idw]
   1st Example: one
   2nd Example: two three four
   Activity Summary:

   • Still angry at everything.
   • Still insulting Swoop on a daily basis.
   • Worries about Swoop because Dinobot and the guy almost died. Not that he'd ever admit any of this. But he even went and saw the guy in the medbay. Shock and horror, Slag might not just be a ball of rage.
   • Annoyed none of the two other Dinobots knew his name, and thus aren't from his universe.
   • Aside from talking to Swoop and Arcee, doesn't really talk to many.

aka ac where corny forgets everything that happened the past few months
