March 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 January 8th and March 8th.
  
• -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 February 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 March 16th).
  

~

EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITY

Examples of activity are really straightforward: we just need you to give us the URL to any two one 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: Alia
1st Example: Snark at Sentinel Prime!
2nd Example: Joint trolling post with Knock Out

Activity Summary: Alia spent a large part of February in self-imposed quarantine to avoid getting the robot flu, but did venture out to help Ravage. The flu prodded her to ask Knock Out for some help with brushing up on human-type first aid skills, since there's a distinct lack of anybody who is actually trained on that stuff. After hearing about the Firstforged taking off, Alia also volunteered to build some perimeter sensors for the Haven, and has been working on putting together as many different kinds of sensors as possible and deploying them. She's hoping to cover a wee bit more than just the perimeter with them, but hasn't worked up the nerve to try sneaking into any of the temples yet. Other than trying to be nice to the others in her height class and slowly easing back a bit on the whole humans-are-useless-jerks thing, Alia's been gently trolling people and trying to science the magic users after Axel volunteered. She might also have been partially responsible for the thing during Valentine's day...

[happyduckbutt]

Character Name: Ventus
1st Example: Ventus and Sora show that rooster who's boss.
2nd Example: Playing welcoming committee to The Spine
Activity Summary: General timeline - It's been another period of adjustments for Ventus. Another friend gone, more responsibilities gained. While he's made more friends and tried to get closer with others, he's also had some new adjustments to deal with. He's become Prima's initiate, and the boy hopes that he'll be able to live up to whatever expectations the Firstforged has for him.

Character Name: Hot Rod
1st Example: Ravage warns about crazy ratchets or something.
2nd Example: Initiation Binding Ceremony (5 comments)
3rd Example: He always wanted to be a Hotwheels Racer (8 comments)
Activity Summary: General Timeline - Oops, things have been slow on his end. >_< He's also become an initiate of Prima (and nearly gotten roasted by a star in the process), but that doesn't mean he can't have a little fun, right? He's still got that daredevil streak to him.

Character Name: Garrod Ran
1st Example: Beans have no expiration date, yo.
2nd Example: Giving Rapunzel the rundown.
Activity Summary: General Timeline - Whoops, he hasn't been doing much either. The kid's glad that Prowl's back to normal or something, and it's probably for the best that he doesn't know what sort of plottings the guy's been up to. For now, Garrod has just been getting more used to the place, and scavenging for things that might seem useful. It's refreshing not having to fight about anything, anyway.

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[badboybikerbot]

Character Name:Gunmax
1st Example: Gunmax's intro post THAT NEVER ENDS
2nd Example: Thread with the dog I mean Shadowmaru

Activity Summary: Gunmax has basically done nothing but bitch and complain and be confused since he showed up. Well okay that's not entirely accurate. He's chatted with a few people and cruised around a bit trying to get a better feel for the place. After getting his robo-guts upgraded for Energon he jumped on the police force since that's what all the cool kids were doing. And by cool kids I mean those loser BP's. He spends most of his time either at the police station or out on patrol, but he still pops into his little room thingy at "Megawhatever" temple from time to time.

Also he's decided that every last one of those Firstforged guys can bite his shiny metal ass. So can Power Joe.

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[notyourblueangel]

Character Name: Thundercracker
1st Example: A refreshing change
2nd Example: You sciencey types beeen sleeping or what?
Activity Summary: Thundercracker has kept relatively low-key, not actually doing much aside from spending time with his firelizards . . . and avoiding contact with most others in the hopes of avoiding the virus that started going around Haven.

Before that, though, Alpha Trion asked him to consider becoming an Initiate, and told him to talk to Kagerou, which he finally did. He was understandably leery of officially swearing himself to another very powerful being after all he's been through under Megatron, but the ninjabot helped put a few concerns at ease.

He's also been busy helping Bulkhead, Skids, and Fracas as the newest member of the road crew – yes, he's aware of the irony of a FLYING helping build a ROAD. Honestly, he's been needing to keep busy, especially after losing the negative-polarity Megatron to whom he'd sworn himself shortly after arriving here. And Four. He's not sure which loss hurts more.

At one point, he flew off to support Starscream against the other Megatron, the one that reminds him more of his own. Thank you, Prowl and Chromedome, for the aft-kicking he set himself up for. 9,9 Later, after he'd recovered from that (assuming there were consequences), he met and went flying with a negative-polarity Starscream, the amiable scientist an odd but welcome counter to his memories of flying just off from "his" Starscream's wingtip. He's desperately missed having someone to fly with since Skywarp left. And then Megatron returned, "the white one", Starscream's Megatron…and his own, the one he'd sworn to. Thundercracker was first on site at receiving the great mech's distress call.



Character Name: Deckard
1st Example: Oops, wrong shaggy-haired young boy
2nd Example: Lost one teammate...regain another?
Activity Summary: Well, Deckard went and got himself carved up trying to arrest Shattered!Ratchet, and spent a few weeks powered down while the medics were searching for or /building/ the parts they needed to finish repairs on him. He woke to find some kind of virus was plaguing Haven, one that could affect mechanicals and organics alike. In the middle of that, he realized that Drill Boy was missing again, and once more went looking for him. This time . . . without any luck of finding him. He's experienced his first loss – and it was one of his own. He didn't mean to, as such, but he went out drinking with Albert . . . and got wasted. (In his defense, he didn't know he COULD get drunk.)

And then Gunmax arrived – again (though first time for Deckard) – followed by Shadowmaru, which helped. A lot, actually. Especially having Gunmax around.

He met with Cinderella about her special training, though he was reluctant to consider asking for her help with chasing that one Ratchet down again. He just hopes the sociopathic medic is found before he hurts anyone else. And that Kagerou slows down some before he hurts himself.

Character Name: Bulkhead
1st Example: I'm going home to see everybody
2nd Example: He's baaacccckkkkk

- He's also been working with Skids, Fracas and Thundercracker on the roads Also, they tried recruiting again, but no real bites.

[skylynx]

Character Name: Skylynx
1st Example: Nothing better to do.

3rd Example: Oh no, what's going on. :(
4th Example: Search from the air!
Activity Summary:

- When SG!Ratchet attacked TFP!Ratchet, he joined Thundercracker and others in helping to search for the fugitive medic from the air.
- He talked to Blackarachnia as she was feeling tired and passed out. After that he occasionally checked on her. He was relieved when she woke back up.

[nobody_number_8]

Character Name: Axel
1st Example: Axel makes a public service announcement
2nd Example: Axel is sick and really doesn't like it.
Activity Summary: In these last months, Axel has spent his time being sick, snarking at newcomers, debunking Valentine's Day trolling, and causing a bit of a stir with an on-camera magic display. He's met several new people- if talking over the link can be counted as meeting- including SG Starscream and Alia. He also expanded his list of teleportable locations to include Knockout's Clinic, due to Sora's concern for him during his aforementioned sickness, and Blurr's assistance.

He's currently contemplating joining the Police Force.

[treacherous_widow]

Character Name: Blackarachnia
1st Example: Lets pretend to be sick!
2nd Example: She's back and upgraded

Activity Summary: Blackarachnia's been busy~. She's become one of Liege's initiates, made the haven sick to observe the effects of her her flu weapon for future use. She has been adjusting to taking care of Liege's labs in his absence and keeping to herself mostly.

Otherwise, she went home for one hell of an upgrade and gained a Transmetal 2 body. Now its just adjusting to that and suddenly being back on Cybertron.

[calibrates_big_guns]

Character Name:
1st Example: Catching Up
2nd Example: Schadenfreude
3rd Example Let it gooooo
(I just formatted it like this because I wasn't completely sure how to divide 8, 8, and 6 between two different threads ^_^;)

Activity Summary: Not all that much. Mainly he's just been trying to adapt this place, chatting with the odd bunch of people. Sentinel Prime is not his favorite person. He's catching up with Shepard, trying to figure out where exactly she's at with all this and how things work here. Recently he's talked to the Elsa, who just arrived, and despite trying to help out, well, he kind of put his foot in his mouth.

Character Name: sg ratchet
1st Example: THERE CAN ONLY BE OOOOONE
2nd Example: best valentines ever
Activity Summary: ratchet arrived, promptly made everyone hate him by being a psychotic, sadistic sociopath and then mostly lurked around the outer perimeter of the haven and megatronus's temple, trying to avoid the police force after literally just walking out the cell when idiot mccrane was too ill to stop him (he still laughs himself to sleep about that thanks buddy)

after that, he cut sentinel's hands off with his chainsaw for glados, and then they banged formed a mutual SCIENCE partnership in which he's still not sure if he can trust her but whatever

- She joined in the areal search for SG!Ratchet when he got loose.
- Yelled at Knock Out during Valentines Day when he tried to suggest to her who would be a good mate.
- Other than doing the usual police work, whenever she's alone she's been trying to study the darkness that her Dragoon Spirit is connected to, so as to better understand it, and maybe understand the darkness that Unicron is connected to.

Character Name: Cinderella glass_secret
1st Example: Secret Agent Princess
2nd Example: Oops, she broke him
Activity Summary:
- Mostly Cinderella has been complaining that she's bored, but that's really for the sake of the public.
- Secretly she's been getting back into the spy game since her talk with Vector Prime. So far, she's made connections with Blurr and Deckard regarding this.
- She also had to explain what a "horndog" was to Jetfire, and also had to explain porn to Blurr. She's such a good person for explaining human naughty things to robots~
- On top of the horndog thing, she tried her best to explain how magic works.
- She also broke Blurr's brain with the whole porn thing.

Character Name: Ravage im_wavin

[wherenobotsgone]

Character Name: Skyfire
1st Example: Post
2nd Example: Thread
Activity Summary: After going to Kagerou for advice about becoming Alpha Trion's Initiate, he decided to go ahead with the process. Other than that it's been pretty uneventful for him, but he did get a new project when he promised Blurr he'd help him look for stasis pods blueprints for the police force.

[re_alignedmods]

[neededthat]

Character Name: Ratchet
1st Example: Ratchet gives Sentinel a hand.
2nd Example: Informing Percy of his progress on Synthen

Activity Summary:
Ratchet has been a busy worker bee. He has been constructing the final formula for Synthenic Energon with Percy these past few months, not too long after he arrived here on this new Cybertron.

In a way, he has been quite the hermit of sorts, however he gives a helping hand whenever he can. for example, he helped fix up Sentinel with a pair of claw hands after his original hands were taken away by SG!Ratchet. Why? Ratchet still has no idea. Probably because SG!Ratchet is freaking crazy. He promised the young bot, however, that he construct some new hands for him.

While working on Synthen, some of the other inhabitants of Haven were concerned with his meddling with the formula. He reassured them that it was under safe care. However, one day, he was attacked by SG!Ratchet. Not wanting his alternate self to take the formula, he injected himself with the unstable form of it. Luckily it was only a small dose in which he was working on, and the only one. He was left wounded and retreated by to Knock Out's clinic. There, he was treated by Sora and KO for his injuries.

Now, he aims to finish the formula and build Sentinel some new hands.

[loborobo]

Character Name:Shadowmaru
1st Example: A challenger appears! Shadowmaru, the ninja detective.
2nd Example: Shadowmaru has a talk with Kagerou about his recent actions.

Activity Summary:
Slowly but surely, Shadowmaru has been adjusting to this strange planet. He is proud of how Kagerou has been initiated into becoming part of Alpha Trion. He is so pleased with how far his friend has come since he last saw him back home.

He is also adjusting to the idea of being part of a temple, and is secretly wanting to be just like Kagerou. Maybe not under the same temple, but to the same status. He knows that it will take some time before he can even reach that status, but for now, that's his current goal.

[heartdive]

Character Name: Sora
1st Example: That's not how you use a key to open a door
2nd Example: Serious damage control Sora is everywhere here, literally
Activity Summary:

- Got chased around by a rooster that he probably shouldn't have tried to pet while Ven got to laugh at him, resulting in many much laughings at his expense
- Spoke to Elita One about how magic works for him and how spark-fu stuff ( yes, that is its name now ) works for her with other helpful things!
- Recruited by Knock Out to work at the clinic ( no, really he was basically told to show up and he just... does ), talks a little bit about home and fun and there is more teasing Sora because he's a derpface
- Lectures Axel about being sick and asked McCrane if he was okay and they talk about family and what family is and it comes with a job offer if he ever wants it
- Worries about Blurr during that passing out post ( talks to Blurr about he and Ventus being from the same place and to Cliffjumper about some less than happy stuff ;; ) and Blurr later takes Sora on a magical canyon ride.
- Introduces himself to Smaug, Shadowmaru, and Rapunzel and tries to help/talk to them as best as he can... in fact he just talks to a lot of people this month, getting to know whoever he can a little better ( seriously, this will be a loooooong list if every interaction is mentioned ).
- Got locked up in the clinic and tried to get out. When this doesn't work he settles for helping Knock Out with Ratchet, convinced that KO just needs a chance 8V
- Finishing this list out with Sora and Axel sitting down and having a "chat" about stuff in their world ( Axel likely explaining CoM stuff and Sora asking questions about Ventus ) and kind of doing damage control over Axel's announcement




Character Name: Starscream
1st Example: Yeah sorry I got nothing
2nd Example: Still nothing
Activity Summary: ( General Timeline )

- Arrival in which he gets back in touch with friends ( Ravage, Cliffjumper ), meets an enemy ( Ratchet ), takes a look at himself ( Starscream ), and makes some new ones ( Thundercracker, Blurr )

- Tours of the temple ( Cliffjumper ) and the clinic ( Knock Out )
- Highly disapproves of of this Valentines event and doesn't hold back and tells the instigators as much

[thxforthememories]

Character Name: Kagerou
1st Example: MY LIFE IS A FAILURE
2nd Example: Are you there Shadowmaru, it's me Kagerou?
Activity Summary:
+ Everything was pretty quiet until the freaky Ratchet started doing some not okay things everywhere.
+ Looked after McCrane when McCrane caught the virus.
+ Counseled a few people who wanted to become Initiates.
+ Met a few newcomers, tried to be helpful, but wasn't really, because it's Kagerou.
+ And then Gunmax came back and it was really awkward. He met up with him still and gave him gas and tried to be a friend even though the lack of memories makes him uncomfortable as hell.
+ Aided in the search for SG!Ratchet after TFP Ratchet was attacked.
+ Accidentally attracted SG!Ratchet's attention to the BP units...
+ ... and then he panicked, lost his composure and got mad at the police over the network. Which resulted in everyone telling him to knock it off.
+ And a huge guilt complex.
+ Then Shadowmaru showed up and it was emotional and terrifying and wonderful and he wished he could cry even though he's happy and -- IT WAS EMOTIONAL OKAY.
+ but still being guilty he practically worked himself into collapse trying to find SG!Ratchet and protect the other BPs, including Shadowmaru...
+ People talked him down, and he agreed to have a golf adventure with PJ.
+ GUILT REMAINS THOUGH.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Character Name: Sideswipe
1st Example: NOT FAIR my virusware is up to date
2nd Example: surely this is a productive use of time and no feelings will happen
Activity Summary:
+ Fought with Mirage over stalking Prowl, not believing it was right to distrust another Autobot.
+ He was one of those affected by the virus, which he used to make Mirage abort patrol car stalking temporarily.
+ Recovered, and flirted shamelessly with SG!Starscream.
+ Generally harassed newcomers and made fun of Blurr.
+ For lack of anything productive to do, he went on several runs around Haven, which had him meeting up with Gunmax, who he confused the hell out of, and SG!Starscream who he raced and tried to wrestle.
+ And then Mirage dropped the bombshell about his future -- about Ironhide's death and Sentinel's betrayal. Because he lacked a war or anything else to focus on, he simply fell apart.
+ His devastated butt has been parked in their quarters ever since.

Character Name: Perceptor
1st Example: Lost Son: If Found, Call Perceptor
2nd Example: I'm a scientist not a medic
Activity Summary:
+ Started working on controlling the "gift" from Liege (i.e. the empathy he never wanted).
+ Was affected by the virus. Even as he tried to work on a cure, Wheeljack had to show up and keep him from falling onto his face.
+ Counseled the Wrecker through the disbanding of his team. Offered him the role of guard dog to his lab.
+ Continued work on Synthetic Energon, despite everyone's protests, working with TFP Ratchet.
+ Went to Ratchet's aid after he was attacked by SG!Ratchet, ended up talking science and taking data on the incident.
+ Smokescreen vanished again, and it hit him hard enough to make him hole up in his lab. Again.

Character Name: Ironhide
1st Example: Just call me Uncle Arnhaid
2nd Example: BRB adopting more BP units
Activity Summary:
+ Ironhide hasn't really gotten involved in the major goings-on around the network
+ He's been busy looking after the kids of his, and adopting more.
+ He keeps popping up to greet newcomers, and try to talk them off the ledges they're turning up on -- like in the case of Rapunzel and the Frozen Lady.
+ Also he met Gunmax but that was less "calm down kiddo" and more "yeah blowing things up is cool".
+ He's keeping his distance from most of the politics, though he did snarl at Megatron a little. He figures the new arrivals, most of them kids, need more looking after than anything.
+ Plus he's big and angry and tough, he has a better shot at protecting kids than he does playing politics.

Character Name: Fracas
1st Example: The Road Crew wants YOU!
2nd Example: Human holidays are weird.
Activity Summary: Fracas has had a weird last two months. On the one hand - after everyone was no longer sick - the road crew was available to get back to work on the roads. To help with this, Fracas made and pasted up posters for recruitment to the crew. Hooray! If only there were any bites to that. Beyond that, Fracas met Shattered Glass Ratchet and has feelings about him somewhere between terror and hate that tend to oscillate. Ratcho seems positively delighted about this. Meanwhile, Fracas would very much like to hit him with a stick. Also, thanks to Shadowplay, Fracas ended up backing Starscream against Megatron. He will regret that he did that forever. He is working on a secret project in addition: a hologram generator. He hasn't gotten very far, beyond doing research in Alpha Trion's library to try to figure out advanced engineering and light manipulation.

Character Name: Strelok
1st Example: Strelok is a bit under the weather
2nd Example: Vodka and Rules
Activity Summary: Strelok has been a busy busy man! Even when he was sick; he met with a few people to get supplies and had a long chat with Isaac... and one with Blurr, where he agreed to give Blurr some pointers about shooting and Blurr attempted to convince him to go stay in communal housing until he was well. Pfff, as if Strelok is ever leaving his run-down shack. When Megatron and Starscream got into their only semi-political feud, Strelok announced that he would be looting the loser and had a discussion with Megatron about companionship... and that if Megatron ever found himself as a human, they would have to share a drink. He had a chat with Sora about overprotective giant robots, and informed said overprotective giant robots that their natural radiation is potentially hazardous to the humans they are trying to protect.Oops? Well, at least he's well-equipped to deal with radiation.

Character Name: Darksteel
1st Example: Everyone is sick :( (3 comments), Fighting? YES PLZ (5 comments)
2nd Example: Humans are SO COOL
Activity Summary: Darksteel ended up in quite the pickle when pretty much everyone he knew ended up sick somehow. He is not so good at the concept of illness though and thought he could somehow physically fight viruses until corrected. Luckily, he managed to get an actual fight lined up, with Megatron of all people. He's also going to try to get Skylynx to agree to it too. They do work better together, after all. As well, he discovered that some humans can melt things with their hands and a long chat with Sora about just how giant robots could have fossils to clone. The answer? No one is really actually sure how that works, probably.

Character Name: Cliffjumper
1st Example: CJ finds Blurr collapsed. WHO DID IT?
2nd Example: SG!Starscream arrives and Cliffjumper is happy to see him.
Activity Summary: Cliffjumper was one of the people to get sick from BlackArachnia's virus and argued with Sideswipe about what it was. Later tried to cheer Ravage up when it was clear Megatron had disappeared, but where one negative polarity mech disappeared, another appeared, apparently, as Starscream arrived. Cliffjumper was, of course, happy about it even if Starscream ought to be at home. Then Valentine's Day happened and there was awkward with Blurr, and later he ended up snarling at SG!Ratchet for his attack on TFP!Ratchet. Lastly, Blurr was foolish with his glyph-powers again, and Cliffjumper and SG!Starscream helped him.

Character Name: Jetfire
1st Example: Some science with Starscream.
2nd Example: Talking with a bored Cinderella. Magic is confusing.
Activity Summary: Trying to find out what the container (with datapad arachnid) that he got from Liege could handle and what to do with the "datapad", Jetfire dragged Starscream to the lab to check both things out. Later, he got sick from Blackarachnia's virus and ended up talking with Axel about it. Then, Starscream ended up challenging Megatron after Megatron made a speech about the situation of Haven and that was just odd, so of course he's... suspicious (worrying) about that. Then TFP!Ratchet seemed to be tinkering with the synthetic energon again, and considering how that had gone before, Jetfire questioned about how clever that was to do and later tried to help Cinderella concerning something to do - and ended up talking about magic with her. Lastly, there was some Valentine's Day related shenanigans with SG!Starscream, which ended with an invitation for Starscream to come join Jetfire and Skyfire at Jetfire's lab.

Character Name: Elita
1st Example: Valentines Day shenanigans with Alia and Knock Out.
2nd Example: Axel points out Sora doesn't need protection.
Activity Summary: Elita also ended up sick with the virus, and visited Ambulon in the medbay after he woke back up from his (canon update) sleep. Later there were Valentine's Day shenanigans with both Alia and Knock Out; mostly teasing quips with Alia and with Knock Out the discussion ended with something out an outing with the red mech. Then she ended up commenting on Axel's little threat display/show off about Sora (and others) not needing protection, talking with both Sora and Axel. Lastly, she's talked with Strelok about energon and radiation.

Character Name: Starscream
1st Example: Oh god it's a spider
2nd Example: stop touching that, starscream
Activity Summary:

- Starscream has become one of Megatronous' initiates and has a result made Jetfire move temples (because why should he be uncomfortable.
- He got beat down by Megatron because MEGATRON CHEATS he didn't fully calculate the length of time electrum lasts. And he probably spent too much time gloating about it. You know, usual Starscream stuff.
- He still wants to be leader of all things, which is probably why he's creeping on befriending Rapunzel to like him. Because the more fans he has the less people there are who can justify punching him ... without at least pissing other people off.
- He also really hates the existence of SG Starscream, but didn't do much about it other than complain for a really, really long time.
- Starscream is mostly dealing with his new found power, being unknowingly manipulated by Prowl, and trying to figure out ways to get rid of Megatron without anyone caring because god damnit why

Megatron

[megaton]

Character Name: Megatron
1st Example: An episode of G1
2nd Example a: Talking with Strelok about why colds suck
2nd Example b: Bulkhead got to go home and Megatron is jealous
2nd Example c: Megatron likes fire
2nd Example d: Not everyone likes Poetry
Activity Summary:

Megatron does not hate this Cybertron as much as he otherwise should.

What he does hate is the badlands, and the Pillar, and the Lambda, and most of the Firstforged. These are things he's been working to guard against, and trying to gain as many powerful allies as he can in the meanwhile. It is because of that hatred that he was willing to become an Initiate of Megatronus, and it is because of that hatred that he finally decided to call a meeting to discuss defending the Haven while the Firstforged are gone.

Of course, it is not his fault that so many people have been brainwashed to vote for Starscream instead. He's a little surprised that he does not have the support he thought he had, which means he'll probably do something drastic to gain back that support...
