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

1st Example: Sora
Activity Summary: (General Timeline) It's been a busy time for the young Keyblade wielder. On the brighter side of things, a familiar face arrived, and although not quite the same person as he had parted ways with back in Radiant Garden, Ventus was more than happy to see his red-haired friend. With the arrival of the Pillar and the subsequent occurrences, out of concern for his new friends and this Cybertron, as well as the simultaneous disappearance of the Firstforged, the boy decided to join those that ventured down to the planet's core to see what could be done about this unexpected threat. That didn't go without complications, but ultimately the threat had been subdued, and the Firstforged returned. Ventus's concerns weren't completely dispersed because some of their team were delayed in their return, not to mention the unusual affects granted some of them from contact with the Pillar. Thundercracker had claimed to see demons, and the boy wasn't sure what that meant, nor where the Seeker had been taken before being found again out in the Wastelands. Such things still weighed at the back of his mind even with the arrival of another boy from the collection of worlds he was familiar with, and who himself seemed familiar somehow, though Ventus had never met him before. It wasn't long after Sora's arrival that Ventus also received a summons from Prima himself and went to meet with the Firstforged, the first he would speak to him ever since their disappearance. He did not expect to be informed that soon, the Firstforged would leave again, nor the offer posed him to become an Initiate of Prima...
Character Name: Hot Rod
1st Example: Apologies for Property Damage
Activity Summary: (General Timeline) Part of the expedition to investigate Cybertron's core perhaps by default as he was the only one that appeared to know the way down, Hot Rod was eager to prove himself and be of assistance in taking care of the Pillar. He was concerned when Optimus Prime was delayed (as a few others were) in checking back in after all was said and done, much relieved when he finally did hear from him. His Optimus or not, Hot Rod didn't want to lose another one while he was on duty ever again. While the Pillar's gift upon Hot Rod was not as severe as some, it was still troublesome, and in hopes to lessen any unintentional damage to others, the Autobot
iceisolated himself until he was certain that he wasn't freezing over everything he crossed and touched. Of course, that didn't mean he was going to sit still and be quiet about it, as was proven by the rampant areas of iced over roadways. When he received an unexpected request to meet with Prima, full of questions, Hot Rod didn't hesitate to do so. He couldn't believe that the Firstforged would be leaving again, but further questions were forestalled with the mentioning of seeking an Initiate...Character Name: Garrod Ran
1st Example: In which Garrod gets off to a lovely start with the locals
Activity Summary: (General Timeline) Newly arrived just a little over a month now, it hasn't been all that difficult for the boy to get adjusted to surviving in an alien territory. He hadn't been that long with the Freeden back home, so slipping back into old habits wasn't difficult at all. After attempting to carjack Prowl, it became rather apparent that the robots around here weren't like the Mobile Suits back on earth. Of course, with there being more mechanical life than organic, and robots moving and talking all by themselves, Garrod just had to remember that he couldn't scavenge off of spare parts, not that there seems to be any profit in it. At the very least, he'd found that his Gundam's been brought over, though he's been limiting use with it so far since he's not sure just yet what he'd do once it runs out of juice. On the plus side, for all that he'd heard about there being conflicting sides present around the place, he's kind of glad for the lack of wars and fighting.
