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: Welcoming Blurr back to Haven.
Activity Summary: Upset and angry over Ravage's death, Cliffjumper later wasn't any happier about the medical check-up Red Alert was insisting on, or when Blurr left the Haven for a while, since that usually doesn't end well. And with the Pillar around that could've gone worse than it did.
He was in the group that helped taking down the pillar, assisting/protecting Jetfire and Pharma with Hot Rod, and ended up losing an arm - not so bad over all. Took care of re-zombified (thanks to the Pillar) Knock Out by knocking him out with said arm and dragging him to the medbay, and helped Sentinel start to get used to his new gun-attachment courtsey of the Pillar.
Greeted IDW!Bumblebee when he turned up.
Character Name: Elita One
1st Example: Talking with Hot Rod about his ice powers and their effect.
Activity Summary: During the time the Pillar was down, Elita met with the changed Arcee at the pillar, and talked to the changed Ambulon - later reassuring him she hadn't been overly affected by him. She decided to stay topside when the group went down to take care of the pillar, but by the Pillar itself, to keep an eye on it and make sure nothing happened (or take care of something, if it had happened).
After the Pillar was gone, she talked to Starscream about the aftermath (and got hit on, again), tried to help Power Joe cheer up, and went to help Optimus who was dealing with the Pillar's aftermath-effects. Also talked to the newly arrived Metalhawk, and has promised to patrol more effectively and perhaps try to spread the crystal trees for Solus, plus log any changes that might happen around the Haven to the planet.
Character Name: Jetfire
1st Example: Planning for an expedition to the core to get rid of the pillar.
Activity Summary: While the Pillar was present, went to check it out originally and later spoke to Skids about the effect it had had on him, then organised the expedition to try and get to where it was attached to Cybertron underground, hopefully to get rid of it - thanks to Hot Rod, who knew of an elevator down to the core, it was possible. Ended up being "glitched" as an effect of getting rid of the pillar, which meant uncontrolled, very short-range teleports. While under the effect of this, he ran into Skyfire, also affected by the Pillar, and tried to have a conversation with the invisible shuttle. It went... okay.
Reluctantly went along to meet with Liege and agreed to keep an eye on Liege's labs/experiments. Is still stubbornly trying to avoid becoming an initiate. Later talked with Glados as she asked if there was any suitable/stocked or not locations for out-of-the-way labs.
