November Activity Check

[re_alignedmods]

Hello Re-Alignment! It's time for the

~*~ ACTIVITY CHECK ~*~ ACTIVITY CHECK ~*~ ACTIVITY CHECK ~*~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<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 September 15th and November 7th.
  
• -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 October 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 November 14th).
  

~

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.

Character Name: Thundercracker
1st Example: Finally checking back in
2nd Example: Escaping into the Junkpile
Activity Summary: While everyone else recovered in the aftermath of the massive battle with Tarn and his forces, Thundercracker was sent back out to the Badlands by both Alpha Trion and one of the Megatrons to assess the borders of the magnetic field that had been discovered in the previous excursion. Returning from that, he worked on reconnecting with people, since he'd fallen out of contact for over a month (ooc: gods-damned hiatuses 9,9) The following month was relatively quiet for him – he went flying with Skywarp, took Ventus flying as well, checked on Ravage playing in a pit of colored, plastic spheres (he still doesn't get the point of the thing, but hey, it made Kitty happeh, so…), even met with Blurr one evening to hang out and learn to cook energon treats.

Then a storm blew through . . . and the Thundercracker that Haven had known for over a year now was no more. The Seeker who replaced him was a hardened mech, even more hardened than before, a runaway slave who'd seen his home and his people brought lower than low and had everything ripped away from him. Cold and wary, he resolved to hide in the Junkpile after "escaping" from the room and building he'd found himself in, aiming to resist recapture for as long as possible. The hiding part lasted all of about five minutes before people started contacting him over the comm device he'd found . . . people who claimed to know him. Including Skywarp, whom he'd been convinced was dead! He hung out with his wingmate, agreed to meet with a mech named McCrane who'd promised him energon, tentatively spoke with a few others, and slowly learned the truth – that he /had/ been here before now…another him. Well, wherever that other had gone, he could stay there. The current Thundercracker had no intention of being sent back where he'd come from!

And I know he was only accepted less than a month ago, but considering he passed AC before he'd even been in the game for a whole WEEK? 9,9
Character Name: Deckard
1st Example: Getting some answers
2nd Example: Paging the Build Team...and a medic
Activity Summary: So the boy scout's first day was…eventful. First, he's bound to "The Paladin" so very appropriately, then got a blast from the past as the first person he spoke to was someone who's been dead for a number of months! (What Deckard wouldn't give for Shadowmaru to be able to be here and see his "brother" alive and well!) But what did Kagerou mean that he's been here before!? He met with Kagerou at Alpha Trion's library – one to see the robot for himself, and two…to find out more about a possibly crooked cop robot on the police force that's here. He reached out again looking for the rest of his team as well as an engineer who could modify his engine to take energon because, ah, not starving into what would amount to a stasis-lock would be a good thing. Barricade was the one who so kindly took care of him. Shortly after, he was able to meet with his patron, Prima, who asked him his opinion on the color of the Lambda (um, what?), and then told him that the him who'd been here before wasn't HIM him so he didn't have the previous memories at all /TO/ recover . . . as disconcerting as that was, it was also a relief – he wasn't, in fact, missing anything from his memories.

Then? All hell broke loose. First literally, in a sense, with the maelstrom that blew through Haven before Deckard had even counted a full week in this alien asylum. Then figuratively…sort of…as some of the people he'd just met started acting very strangely. Violently. Barricade, he wouldn't have been able to say too much on – he'd only met the mech once – and he couldn’t have said anything about someone named Ambulon except that the mech did a HELL of a job on another mech that he and Blurr (who apparently had been a friend of his before?) had to bodily carry into the nearest temple for emergency repairs. The loud and vicious insanity that was Kagerou, on the other hand? WTF!? The pieces started falling into place in his mind, though, finally leading him to post a public announcement with his suspicions – these people hadn't gone crazy, they were some kind of alternates of themselves, just like he himself was an alternate of the "him" who'd been here before (though he must have been far less violent since people had been really happy to see him). Shortly after, he finally – FINALLY – managed to cross paths with McCrane, whom he was exceedingly happy to see. But then they went out on patrol together only to stumble across a grizzly sight – it was with heavy hearts that they announced the murder of poor Ravage...

[re_alignedmods]

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

heavy breathing i wrote a huge list then realised most of them were too early

[primest]

Character Name: sentinel prime
1st Example: look at that i actually did something with my item drop mmm angst
2nd Example: almost dying did nothing to change his attitude fucking incredible
Activity Summary:
-in a turn of events that shocked literally no-one, sentinel has been spending a lot of his time being a jerk to people. because his personality is just that great
-he continues to be the living definition of 'obstinate asshole'
-this is absolutely not a terrible idea in any conceivable way
-NO FUN ALLOWED
-accidentally got into a conversation with a drunk blurr
-tempting fate part 1
-tempting fate part 2
-tempting fate part 3
-getting his ass beat for said aforementioned fate tempting ;_;
-antagonizing drag strip is a good idea
-gross organics

so, in summary he's been a huge jerk to everyone, made an attempt to join the police force and got a very long overdue ass beating. which did nothing except add to his laundry list of issues!!! yay!

edit: woops forgot to ask something. after his encounter with ambulon and getting his leg torn off, i am assuming he'll be confined to the medbay for a short while? like, a few weeks or something. sorry, the timelines in this game confuse me a bit!!

[re_alignedmods]

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

And Sentinel's status is up to you and the whichever medic-players you may wish to involve in his recovery, be it long or swift.

[cec_engineer]

Character Name: isaac clarke
1st Example: elizabeth doing the thing
2nd Example: his link post during the storm
Activity Summary:
-you sure do start to like guns after a zombie apocalypse
-any chance to show off his engineering skill rite
-rarity's entry
-isaac's misanthropy has been showing a lot lately
-deckard being a smart little boy scout
-isaac tries so hard ;_;
-investigating ancient monoliths after his experience with them is clearly a good idea
-shepard pls
-nightmare night!!
-he's also been a bit of a doormat again

all in all, isaac has tried to be a good lad. he's been trying to help people where he can, because side missions are fun and he's almost too comfortable with being told what to do. ptsd does that to a guy! apart from the short interactions listed, though, he hasn't really done anything that'll make waves or taken part in anything particularly big.

edit: gdi forgot to ask something for this douche as well. basically, i've been assuming that isaac is still suffering from marker hallucinations but seeing as he's not anywhere near it, they're probably not as bad as when he was on the usg ishimura or titan station - b/c obviously the entire series is about people being around the marker then losing their minds

what i was wondering was, in-game its mentioned the dementia he got from being around it would eventually kill him. this was stated by two people; one of whom eventually betrayed him and the other was already completely batshit - so honestly the sources of that actually happening are kinda shitty, but it's definite that without having completed the Battle in the Center of His Mind at the end of 2, hallucinations are still gonna be a problem.

so, my question is: did coming through the lambda form some sort of fail safe against his going completely insane and dying? is it still a possibility? is this something i should tag into that firstforged post about if i still can?

i can decide for myself about what's going to happen with it if needs be, i just wanted to make sure first!!

[re_alignedmods]

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

Characters with life-threatening injuries or conditions, such as characters taken from their point-of-death, are repaired/healed upon arrival. So while the hallucinations were probably not removed entirely, unless they are completely based on proximity to a marker, any possible life-threatening element to the dementia has been nullified.

[thermosomatic]

Requesting an exemption for Blitzwing and Kaon based on hiatus.

[re_alignedmods]

Exemption granted! Thank you.

[originaldragoon]

Character Name: Rose
1st Example: 7 here 4 here
2nd Example: calming down new arrivals
Activity Summary:
* She started working on the Police Force and is still currently the only member on the Defense Committee. She hopes that will change soon and that there will be more committee members.
* After many scrapes, and bruises, Rose finally managed to figure out how to ride her motorcycle. Though she still needs a helmet, which Isaac is assisting her with.
* She is also pretty much a human GPS thanks to a bonus from Vector Prime. Though she doesn't seem to realize it yet.
* Also, Rarity totally dressed her up as a princess for Nightmare Night, which she was not too happy about.

Character Name: Ravage
1st Example: Kitty wants to help!
2nd Example: BAZINGA!
Activity Summary:
Ravage really hasn't been up to much other than being his usual annoying playful self. He had his ball pit moved into a common area in the Hub so that others may enjoy it, and basically got into a "My dad is better than your dad" argument with Frenzy.
He also has a lot more energy thanks to a bonus from Nexus Prime. Of course this means he's more hyper than usual.
Oh yeah, he also got murdered by zombie!Knock Out. He's totally still dead at the moment.

[re_alignedmods]

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[rednotbluethx]

Character Name: Ambulon

1st Example: I hope these can count; though the initial posts were made before the AC timeline, most of the comments/threads take place in late/through October. If they don't count, lemme know. :T 1, 2, 3; and just a few more - note, some of these are still ongoing :3c

2nd Example: Ambulon is a big dickweed

Activity Summary: Ambulon's been dealing with his PTSD still. That's not something one gets over easily, you see. But that doesn't mean he hasn't been working or trying to get out more. He's doing his best, really, but he's starting to think of taking drastic measures if it continues... ANYWAY, recently, the Pillar altered Ambulon with an alternate reality persona, in which he never left the Decepticons and became a massive dickweed. So far he's backtalked people, beat the shit out of Sentinel, and plans on fighting Pharma as well.

---

Character Name: Frenzy

1st Example: seriously so very awful man

2nd Example: Here are some more of those "post is old, but the thread responses/comments meet AC and/or are ongoing" links: 1 | 2; and because I want to be extra cautious, here are more to newer, ongoing threads: 1 | 2 | 3

Activity Summary: Frenzy hasn't done much since last AC my bad, BUT - he continues to harass people, attempt to fight everyone, and got himself a freakin' awesome electric guitar, which he uses to attempt the former two. Hasn't suffered from the Pillar event, but he's getting all sorts of confused. And excited.

---

Character Name: Leonard McCoy

1st Example: Always worried, Mister McCoy

2nd Example: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 If you need more, I can get a few more, teehee

Activity Summary: Beyond his usual worrying and fretting about everyone, McCoy has continued working as the doctor he is (and nothing more, mind you) and checking up on people. He also got his hands on some of Megatron's old poetry, and received a special prize from Solus that increases his energy and stamina. This Pillar event has him confused and angry but that is nothing new.

[re_alignedmods]

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

Some of McCoy's links are from outside the activity period; they will not be eligible for the next Activity Check in January.

[raceme]

Character Name:Blurr
1st Example: Log with Clifjumper
2nd Example: Drunk joint post with Skyfire
Activity Summary:
-Things were relatively quiet for Blurr after Tarn’s arrest. He keep on doing his job as good as he could and practiced his firing skills with Cliffjumper.
-He tried to find Drift and Wing after their departure.
-Got drunk with Skyfire because he was feeling depressed about his friend leaving or missing.
-Took over the organization of the bar again after Wing’s left.
-He was really happy to see Deckard again and they became friends pretty quickly.
-Thundercracker and him practiced some cooking together.
-Tried to control the damage when the AU started, since he is one of the few not affected.
-Helped Sentinel after AU!Ambulon kicked his ass. With Deckard and Red Alert's help they got him to the medbay to get fixed.
-Had a really creepy conversation with Pharma and Kagerou. Like, really creepy, both of them.
-Tried to help a shy au!Blackarachnia.
-Got his brain broken when he learned that Prowl and Chromedome are now a pair. He’s still trying to wrap his processor around the idea.
-He’s currently going to arrest AU! Barricade.
-I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting things

Character Name:
1st Example: KO's favorite past time!
2nd Example: Au!Event/Pilalr event post
Activity Summary:
-Helped Rose with her new bike and tried to give her some actual good advice.
-Pestered Sentinel about his item drop and other things in general. Irritating Sentinel is his favorite thing ever.
-Got protective over Four when Crowl complained about her but eventually that ended being an entertaining conversation about pop culture.
-He met Rarity. The fabulousness went up to eleven.
-Go affected by the au event and tried to act almost normal at first. Emphasis on ‘almost’.
-Bulkhead suddenly being a con confused the hell out of him but he decided just to roll with it. Giant bodyguards are something he likes.
-Attacked Skid, Ravage and Barricade. He turned the first one into a zombie, murdered the second one and was killed by the last one.
-Andddd he's currently dead.

[aerospacecommander]

Character Name: DW Starscream
1st Example: Jetfire gets into a sticky situation and stupidly asks starscream for help
2nd Example: Starscream terrorizes a talking pony.
Activity Summary: Starscream has been sitting back and watching things for the most part, he still wants to be ruler of all (tm) but his plans are moving very slowly. Though he did get it in his head to try and manipulate Megatron who started to act really strange (concern for him? what?), which will probably backfire horribly like most things in his life. Also he followed both Megatron and Jetfire to the pillar thing.

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[songofmypeople]

Character Name: Tarn

Activity Summary: Requesting an exemption for him because I am currently on hiatus as stated here: http://re-alignedmods.dreamwidth.org/3596.html?thread=554764#cmt554764 (doesn't expire til Nov 26). I also... need to figure out what happened to Tarn (if anything) during the past couple months. I think he's still in prison???? Maybe??? Y\N???

Character Name: Prime Starscream
1st Example: 83 comments I was expecting that this would be enough for both activity examples.

Activity Summary:
- Prior to passing out for a canon-update-coma, Pscream had been drowning in loneliness -- or more accurately: the fact that people weren't paying attention to him in prison. Blurr doesn't count, because Blurr is super irritating and Pscream didn't WANT his company.
- Pscream received Chromedome's item drop while Chromedome got his. They were going to 'exchange' gifts but it didn't happen. Pscream planned on trying to use Chromedome as ANOTHER means of trying to break out (also wheedle his way into keeping both presents) while Chromedome simply took his own gift back, kept Pscream's, and mnesurgery'D the seeker's brain for Prowl instead.
- Even without Chromedome's tampering, Pscream's paranoia and neurosis are getting really overwhelming. The unexplained onset of fatigue had him thinking he was being poisoned. Megatron's appearance here added to his worry that he'd be found out to be a clone and not the original Starscream as well.(He's wrong)
- Tried to get Knock Out to break him out under the guise of medical reasons. That didn't work either.
- Upon finding out that Megatron was delusional about stuff that hadn't happened yet, and quite mad at him, Pscream's efforts of breaking out... kind of petered off.

Also: I think he was picked up by Liege?? And as such, might now be napping at the temple??

[re_alignedmods]

Exemption grated for Tarn!

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[neverputincharge]

Character Name: Bulkhead
1st Example: The name wasn't his idea, he swears
2nd Example: The best bet ever

Activity Summary:

- Bulkhead, Fracas and Skids kept working on the roads. With Bulk and Fracas helped by boons from Solus and Nexus, they finished the whole stretch between the temples of Solus and Nexus, and after a few days rest, started triangulating the road to the hub.
- Also the road was named after Bulkhead. Something he was reluctant to accept. He tried convincing Fracas it shouldn't be named after him, but gave in. He also got laughed at by a few for the name.
- The road crew also decided to take a bet on who will get stuck in the road first, and whoever loses has to sing karaoke. The bet is still going on.
- He talked to Perceptor about how long they've been here, and about the scientists glyph changing.
- He talked to Deckard when he arrived, and filled him in on things.
- He also talked to a freaked out Rarity, and worked to calm her down.
- Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked. The storm hit, and the pillar made contact from the Lambda.
- He woke from the storm, an AU version of himself who was a con among other things, and finding himself in a strange room that he didn't recognize.
- He talked to AU!Barricade and more or less took to following his orders.
- He was relieved to make contact with Knock Out, a fellow con from his world, and eventually met up with him.
- He talked to AU!Wheeljack about flux capacitors. Spacebridges, and time travel.
- Talked to AU!Fracas about spacebridges, and other stuff, the vehicon working to get him to become an Autobot like he knows him.
- And was creeped out by Knock Out's vampire/zombie change when Barricade showed it over the feed.

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[happyduckbutt]

Character Name: Ventus
1st Example: Look ma, I'm glowing!
2nd Example: Lessons in light manipulation
Activity Summary: Timeline link - It had taken some time, but Ventus had finally gotten his arm out of a sling and feeling a lot better than a few weeks back. He'd also found out that his bond with his Firstforged has strengthened, allowing him access to yet another aspect of Prima's abilities with light, which the boy eagerly intended to practice. However with concerns of the possibility of something amiss only confirmed by a sudden storm, the appearance of some odd pillar and the warping of more than a few beings around Haven, Ventus felt the need to try getting to the bottom of things. With the strange pillar being the most obvious point for investigation, he made his way there, joining Perceptor in trying to figure out what made the structure so disturbing. Unfortunately Perceptor's "scientific methods" of study happened to draw out a pair of less-than-friendly robotic wolves...

Character Name: Hot Rod
1st Example: Offering a hand (5) | Chillin' with Prima (8)
2nd Example: Something strange in the neighborhood (9) | Something rotten in the state of Haven (6) -I dunno if it counts though unless I'm reading it wrong (only one activity is valid using multiple thread links?) so I might need a save if that's the case! T^T
Activity Summary: Timeline Thingy - Restless as ever, Hot Rod's just been trying to keep himself busy, which includes bugging Perceptor (no he was helping, really) and getting beat down by Ironhide (one day old timer, ONE DAY). Although there wasn't any real change in his glyph since the last time, it still didn't stop him from going to ask Prima about it, but other things seemed to be amiss and therefore took his mind off things involving Megatronus. Taking a trip with Prima down to the Core, nothing that Hot Rod could recall of the Badlands (which wasn't much) could have prepared them for what was to come. There was no denying that draw from the pillar....

[fugitrix]

Hello! Just wanted to ask for a week extension after the 14th. Life has been crazy as hecky for me so I will need it, sadly. 8( Promise to use it wisely.

(Only for Arcee)

[re_alignedmods]

Extension granted! You have until November 21st to post your activity links and summaries for Arcee.

[treacherous_widow]

Character Name: Blackarachnia
1st Example: Evented!BA is so confused and scared.
2nd Example: Sometimes running isn't the answer.
Activity Summary:

In the last two months, Blackarachnia's been mostly keeping to herself and working on her experiments. It's time to perfect her viral strands before releasing them~. Otherwise, she's taken note that she's been here on this version of Cybertron a year now.

Before the Pillar arrived, she managed to find her first forge and have a little one on one time.. and discovered his hot springs experiments. She may have to take advantage of those at some point

Then the Pillar came and nothing was the same! Blackarachnia spent the time with her past changed. Instead of coming online as a Predacon, she came online as a Maximal and things progressed from there, leaving the usually deadly and confident she-spider completely changed, meek and clumsy until things finally went back to normal.

Expect her to not be happy when she realizes what happened.

[re_alignedmods]

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

Some of Blackarachnia's links are from outside the activity period; they will not be eligible for the next Activity Check in January.

[wherenobotsgone]

Character Name: Skyfire
1st Example: Post
2nd Example: Thread
Activity Summary: - All the time Skyfire has been spending in the library got him a chance to meet Alpha Trion and talk about classification systems for all the worlds out there.
- Continuing the endless "friends getting in trouble" saga, he somehow ended up recruited to get Jetfire and Starscream out of some magnetic putty.
- He went to have some drinks with Blurr when Wing and Drift left, and miscalculated how fast Blurr was drinking so he managed to end up truly overcharged in spite of his size. Oops.
- Changed into an AU!version of himself that never crashed and remembers the entire war as an Autobot, and has been helping AU!Wheeljack do some SCIENCE in the junkpile.

[cliffjumper]

Character Name: Cliffjumper
1st Example: Cliffjumper, Swoop and (SG) scraplets.
2nd Example: Talking with drunk Skyfire and Blurr about their accidental broadcasting.
Activity Summary: Cliffjumper exchanged gifts with Swoop, after the scare of thinking they were normal and not inverse scraplets, later he talked with Albert about his birthday and also yelled at Rarity to calm down when she arrived. Cliffjumper also tried to get Blurr to see reason about Barricade, but didn't push regarding Blurr stopping to see him. Unaffected by the pillar, Cliffjumper's been staring and swearing a lot, and talking to AU!Sideswipe and Rewind.

Character Name: Elita One
1st Example A: Talking with Cody
B: Snarking with AU!Ambulon
2nd Example: Elita and Optimus talk.
Activity Summary: Elita exchanged gifts with Cody, then later, when Prowl said he was missing, went looking for him. She's talked to Perceptor about how long she's been staying in the Haven, and that led to discussing Unicron. Elita remained unaffected by the pillar, and instead have simply been trying to keep an optic on things, but Ambulong beating Sentinel to scrap had her reacting to both of those, and she went to investigate the pillar, meeting Swoop on the way.

Character Name: Jetfire
1st Example: Calling on Starscream for... help.
2nd Example: Jetfire is quite sure he wasn't here before - even if this comm. upgrade says otherwise.
Activity Summary: Jetfire's talked with Shockwave about his predacon bone, tried to find out how/if Starscream knew about the piranacons (due to his reaction), and talked with Crow when he said Four had vivisected him, then talked with Four about morals and ethics and science. He got stuck in a magnetic putty pit and had to get help, first trying to call Starscream and then Skyfire. Was affected by the pillar and thus inquired about any "outstanding event" before he "woke up here" and later went to explore the pillar, met AU!Megatron and then Starscream joined them.

[re_alignedmods]

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[4_toteachus]

Character Name: 4
1st Example: Oh dear stuff's happening again
2nd Example: Hey Crow wanna date
Activity Summary:

Four's morality continues to spin this way and that, as she's pretty confused about what way she's supposed to go. Jetfire gave her a great big lecture about the proper way to to do science and the value of consent. It all makes sense, but that's not what Shockwave believes, right? In any case, Four apologized to Crow for having him cut open and she believes that he's pretty cool with it.

Character Name: Chromedome
1st Example: Star gazing and Prowl abuse
2nd Example: Getting into Skids' head and Wow dat tank is fine
Activity Summary:

Chromedome continues to be under Prowl's manipulative control, going as far as luring one of his friends somewhere and injecting him. It's just Skids though, he's probably used to amnesia by now. Chromedome went stargazing with Rewind, and during that time Rewind encouraged him to break his needles. He decided to go through with it, and has yet to tell Prowl about it. He had a brief talk with Liege Maximo, making it possible for him to get his needles back if Prowl wants it.

Speaking of Prowl, he ended up being married to him during the AU event, causing brain breakages everywhere. Still, despite that, the little tank known as Rewind caught Chromedome`s attention, and they hit it off really well, unbeknownst to Prowl. That was fun and all, but Chromedome still has to tell Prowl about his needles...

Character Name: Red Alert
1st Example: Decepticon hunting and chatting up Megatron
2nd Example: Asking about boys
Activity Summary:

Red Alert's biggest accomplishment this month was taking down a crazy and injured Barricade all on her own. She used that rocket launcher she randomly got a while ago, nice to put that to some good use. She continues to offer her skills and knowledge to anyone who needs it, Autobot or Decepticon. Red Alert hopes to somehow bring a little organization to the group of medics they have here.

Now hopefully her interest in Pharma won't get in the way of that.

Character Name: Barricade
1st Example: He's acting a little weird I wonder what-
2nd Example: NO BAD BARRICADE, BAD
Activity Summary: Barricade has been a busy, busy fellow since the fight with Tarn. He didn't participate in it himself because Tarn is his bro but he did assist in fixing the injured as he was able to, and ended up sitting with Blurr's corpse (and with a decidedly-alive and very suspicious Cliffjumper) until Blurr came back. He was extremely glad to see Blurr come back and tried to fill him in on things a little. He also had a long, lovely chat with Wheeljack about setting up an armory and then he had a project to unveil: his fighter ship, with working flight systems! He went on a bunch of show-off test flights with anyone that wanted to come on one, just to make sure it was in working order and that everyone knew how cool it is. Things took a header shortly after that when Cody disappeared (and he agreed to help Prowl look for the kid), and even more of a header when the pillar showed up. He lost all his memories (and his legs) and gained new memories (but not legs) and proceeded to threaten and insult everyone that responded to him. Red Alert managed to catch him to examine him for a while but he eventually escaped... only to run into a zombified and hungry Knock Out. CanonCade does not believe in zombies though, and promptly decapitated and de-sparked him and threatened the whole network AGAIN. Blurr showed up and arrested him though, so he's been sitting in jail twiddling his thumbs for a bit.

Character Name: Fracas
1st Example: Who's awesome? YOU'RE awesome!
2nd Example: This is the nerdiest thing zomg
Activity Summary: Fracas had a productive two months! Aside from warning all the people ever about zombies, he greeted several newcomers, including a very frightened human named Elizabeth and a shrieking pony named Rarity. As well, he and the rest of the road crew finished the stretch of road between Nexus Prime and Solus Prime's temples (naming it Bulkhead Boulevard). They also started up a bet on who in the Haven would get stuck in the road because they ignore signs about wet concrete. Someday somebody is going to win that thing. In the meantime, the pillar arrived and Fracas became entirely different while retaining the exact same color scheme. He became a Vehicon that had joined the Autobots and wanted all the Vehicons to stop being Decepticons because Decepticons be crazy. This led to a great deal of confusion among others from universes like his, but he never once lost his pep. Even when people were rude to him. Take that, universe! He is awesome and you can't bring him down! AutoFracas also plans to leave his normal self about a billion inspirational messages and post-it notes because that's how he rolls. Don't believe in you, believe in him that believes in you. Yours is the drill that will pierce the heavens! Or something.

Character Name: Strelok
1st Example: Investigating weird monoliths? YOU BET! (7 comments); Doctors are silly (4 comments)
2nd Example: Nothing can POSSIBLY go wrong! (11 comments)
Activity Summary: Strelok has mostly been chilling out and raiding the Junk Pile as per usual. At least, until the pillar showed up and totally wrecked his day. Much wrecking, many shameful, wow. He ended up talking with McCoy a bit about it and about his own health issues (namely that he is constantly getting himself into trouble that endangers his health) and then agreed with 4 that their new installation could use a good looking-over. He ended up meeting up with Isaac Clarke when he got there and they began to give it a poke, literally. Unfortunately it gave Isaac crazy hallucinations and Strelok had to try to calm him down. Easy bro, he's not actually Strelokromorph, he promises. Sadly IT DIDN'T WORK and he had to take drastic action to keep Isaac from trying to murder him.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Character Name: Wheeljack
1st Example: Guns. Lots of Guns.
2nd Example: When we hit 88mph you're going to see some serious shit
Activity Summary:
-Stuck in a hospital for a few weeks while his arm healed, and wanted an armory in the process. Proceeded to be very vocal about it, and even chose to allow certain individuals access to it. Prowl seemed to compensate this for him after the battle with Tarn.
-Talked to Perceptor about how long they've been on Cybertron. It's a tad depressing when he thinks about it.
-Talked about Ultra Magnus, and how he feels kind of lost without the big guy there.
-When the pillar hit Haven, Wheeljack was immediately affected, turning into a quirky scientist
-Tried to be friends with Perceptor, just like he was back home, but it was rebuffed, as he wasn't the 'right' one.
-Actually became fairly close to Fracas, although it might be because of the alignment adjustment. Either way, FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC.
-Talked to Bulkhead about flux capacitors and time travel. Whole lotta Doc Brown in this convo
-Made friends with Skyfire and tried to ease the worries of McCoy. Only one of these succeeded.
-Offered to 'fix' Red Alert's weapon, but pinged her the wrong way as he wasn't acting like himself. Probably (forcibly) got a checkup.

Character Name: Kay Faraday
1st Example: Excellent. Get us a fight.
2nd Example: He's got to follow his own path, no one can choose it for him.
Activity Summary:
-Started to train with her armor, although was a tad rusty with it. She's never had anything like that before, to be fair.
-Kagerou offers to train her
-Ends up teaching her the same thing he knows, all the tricks of the trade of being a robot ninja.
-When he's out doing other errands, she's parkouring it up inside Alpha Trion's temple, and accidentally lands on the poor bot's face.
-It's okay though, that's her robot grandpa.
-Then Kagerou went crazy when the pillar hit, and starts to feel that sinking feeling that she was losing another dad.
-This was followed by rage, where she started attacking every inanimate object in sight. To fuel out the anger.
-Holed up in her room as we speak

Character Name: Rewind
1st Example: You mean a bunch of royal dead guys are watching us?
2nd Example: The way forward is sometimes the way back.
Activity Summary:
-When Prowl asked for Cody's wherabouts, Rewind was surprised that the cop even cared. Offered to keep an eye out for him despite his disdain for Prowl.
- Went to map out the skies with Chromedome, which honestly, was the two of them making Prowl-themed constellations and laughing. Maybe a Grimlock or the Lost Light, but 80% was Prowl pain related.
-Met up with Alpha Trion, who in turn helped combine their maps for a more completed version.
-Is working on a final sky map now.
-That is, until the pillar hit, and Rewind was turned into a tank version of himself, with no knowledge of Chromedome.
-Met "Tumbler" at a party, though, and they hit it off rather well.
-Still, couldn't help but feel a sense of deja vu when he spoke to him, so asked the Haven about that.
-Cliffjumper told him to look at the link, but before he could, the Pillar's effects were dispersed.
-Challenged to fight by Frenzy. This'll go over well!

Character Name: Mirage
1st Example: Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy.
2nd Example: Get in loser, we're going shopping.
2nd Example part 2: And I was like, "Why are you so obsessed with me?"
Activity Summary:
-Came out of the Tarn battle rather unscathed.
-Invited McCrane to drink with him sometime. Totally not a man-date.
-Was apparently the only one concerned that BARRICADE was given a flying death machine and not that the death machine may not be safe.
-When the pillar struck Haven, he was immediately affected, turned into an extra dose of Michael Bay stereotype: the Western Cowboy.
-Affected his entire personality and paint scheme
-Considered Barricade to be a worthy opponent once more, and cliche'd his way into asking for a fight, but never got it.
-Was extremely confused when Sideswipe was acting so cold to him, and tried to reach out as a partner, but his actions were rejected.
-Apparently loners don't like cowboys.

Character Name: Power Joe
1st Example: I'm gonna hit you so hard, it'll make your ANCESTORS dizzy!
2nd Example: Carnations. What a douchebag.
Activity Summary:
-Took some time to heal up in the medbay after his battle with Tarn
-Got up the courage to ask Arcee out on a date, and she accepted
-After discharged from the hospital, went immediately to go tell Ironhide about his date and trained with him. Now getting increasingly better at fighting.
-Now believes he's a true and honest 'Cybertronian'.
-Met a pony and swore to help her (be his slave) for whatever she might possibly need in the future.
-Rendezvous'd with Deckerd after his return.
-Told Deckerd about Prowl and how he doesn't sit right with him. It's like Prowl's suspicious or something!
-Ironhide contacted him when the pillar hit. Told him not to worry because he's just an old man.
-Proceeded to go on his date with Arcee. It didn't end well.
-Fought Kagerou in an attempt to keep him from going insane. Too late on that part.

[megaton]

This is going to be exciting since I'm at work and don't have access to email. However, here goes!

Character Name: Megaton
1st Example: With Liberty and Justice for all...
2nd Example: So intense.
Whoops, I got so focused on his AU post that I didn't tag around. I was planning on making a new post with him pretty much immediately, so I would like to make that post to make up for the lack of a second example (and have it not count for next AC.) A link will be given as a reply to this as soon as it is up.
Activity Summary: Megatron has been busy analyzing the 'data' retrieved from his march to the badlands. He's considering who he'd be best served in contacting and 'recruiting' to his goals, and he's still trying to work out what he wants those goals to be. At this point, he's decided his best course of action is to stay on Cybertron until he can find a way to use the Lambda to get back home.

This was all put on hold when a pulse from the Lambda caused him to experience an alternate history of himself. He spent this time trying to explain his lack-of-war to mostly incredulous individuals, and was stunned to hear how badly Cybertron had turned out in so many other realities. He hit it off particularly well with the alternate Fracas...though it was interesting that many of his other friendships also endured. During the event, he also went to examine the Pillar, hoping there would be some clue to returning home. That desire was one thing he shared with his other self.

You have until the 21st to provide your updated example links.

[skidaddle]

Character Name: Skids
1st Example: Skids pesters AU!Barricade - 7 comments
2nd Example: Skids pesters AU!Knockout
3rd Example: Skids pesters AU!Prowl and AU!Tumblr
4th Example: Skids fails to pester Isaac.
Activity Summary: I swear Skids was not brought into this game to be a troll. Perhaps he feels like, without Whirl around, someone needs to pick up on the cynicism?

That being said, Skids has always been optimistically cynical at least. He's been working with Bulkhead and Fracas to make roads a reality, and in-between has been pestering the odd local with various ideas. He and Perceptor went up to one of Liege's peaks to have a romantic night of taking readings on the Lambda, and he still participates in Karaoke. At current, he knows he's been falling behind a bit on his unnoficial duties as 'keeper of the Committee records,' but there's been so much to do.

It's actually kind of nice, here. There's lots to learn, and he even got Barricade to take him flying in a ship that didn't try to kill him.

He's got a beautifully antagonistic relationship with Prowl, and was brainwashed by Chromedome into being a sleeper agent for the police-bot.

During the event he tried to patch things up between a lot of people, but sadly doign so got him bit by Knockout and he ended up wandering around as a Cybertronian...vampire? This, unfortunately, was not reset when everyone else went back to normal which is going to make thigns interesting for him for a while. However, it's okay. He's been making new friends in Rarity and Isaac, and even Prowl seemed to warm up to him for a bit...

At least, before Skids tried to suck out his energon.

[glitteratimedic]

Character Name: Optimus Prime
1st Example: LOG
2nd Example: THREAD 1
THREAD 2
LOG 1
Activity Summary:
Spent most of his time after recovering from the the last battle all the way through Halloween indoors attempting committee work being an unsocial lump.

Mostly laid low during much of the pillar event as the peaceful!version of Megatron blew his poor processor. Plans to cautiously investigate the pillar itself - this will surely not end well.

Character Name: Sari Sumdac
1st Example: THREAD 1
THREAD 2
2nd Example: THREAD 1
THREAD 2
Activity Summary: Between prepping for actually having classes and then having world-shaking events...Sari is actually doing pretty well for herself for once. More people know/will know about her little technorganic secret than ever, and it's not quite as terrible as she expected.

-Blurr is awesome and is teaching her stuff!
-Barricade is awesome and took her flying!
-Issac is awesome and has cool science knowledge!
-Learning science is awesome! Yay!

Character Name: Glit
1st Example: LOG 1
THREAD 1
THREAD 2
2nd Example: THREAD 1
THREAD 2
THREAD 3
THREAD 4
Activity Summary: GLIT why do you do best at short, snippy threads???

Glit has been his usual, snarky self and shoving his medical services at everyone who tolerates it. Megatron's sudden appearance as a apparent non-combatant threw Glit completely, but considering the violence that erupted from other people because of the pillar, he'll take it.

[mccrane]

Character Name:
1st Example: McCrane does policey stuff.
2nd Example: McCrane is horrified and fascinated by Kagerou
Activity Summary:
As always, life in the Haven is very wearing on McCrane. With Tarn in jail and everyone recovering from the incident two months ago, he's gotten a chance to relax. However, with Gunmax gone again he's beginning to wonder if there's any way he can protect any of his police officers anymore.

It doesn't stop him from trying however. He's been getting along better with Prowl, and he's been happy for the company of the other police officers (Blurr being one he's particularly thankful for). He and Kagerou always have conversations that make him think, and with the addition of officers like Rose he's felt that the Haven is as safe as it can be.

Deckerd's return was incredibly relieving for him, especially since he and Deckard have similar approaches to solving problems. It has, sadly, also caused him to seriously evaluate his position as leader of the Haven's police force. Deckard was really the one built to lead...but McCrane won't give up his title until Deckard's had a chance to settle in. Right now, he knows that he has to lead for a while longer, because nothing is stable and its the best place he can be.

Everything threw him for a loop with the altered history event, however. Kagerou in particular reminded him of Gunmax in very unexpected ways, and he's going to be dealing with the aftermath of that for a while.

Thankfully, there is plenty of police business to keep him busy, especially with another murder afoot...

Activity Summary:
+ DID NOTHING OF NOTE
+ well okay he complained a lot and harassed Mirage
+ he's pretty bored really
