May Activity Check

[re_alignedmods]

Hello Re-Alignment! It's time for the

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

There are some minor changes to the AC this round that will be carrying over into subsequent rounds: the AC requirement has been reduced to one example to better fit the slower pace of our game! Also, the AC form now includes an area for Character Alignment, to make things easier come Alignment Adjustment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Alignment:</b> <b>Activity 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 March 8th and May 12th.
  
• -You will need to post one example of Activity and an Activity Summary for every character you have in the game. (See below)
  
• -Any character accepted on April 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 May 19th).
  

~

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
  

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 example 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 new example of activity of any kind. If you are able to do so, then you will have passed activity check and be fine (although the 'new' example of activity will not be usable in the next AC.) If you fail to do so, then your character will be dropped.

Comments

[young_upstart]

Character Name: Hot Rod
Character Alignment: Prima
Activity Example: Talkin' with Pops about life choices (10+ comments)
Activity Summary: Trying to work more on being responsible, Hot Rod tried to help out The Spine whom he came across during the time appearance of the strangely colored energon. Unfortunately, while it made for a good excuse to make use of that crystal Prima gave him, it was due to the humanoid automaton getting sick in his interior on the way to the medic. .... That aside, Hot Rod also spoke with Ironhide upon hearing that he'd also been affected with something strange, eventually also mentioning to the older Autobot that he'd recently become Prima's Initiate. And then I forgot that April existed. ._.;;

Character Name: Ventus
Character Alignment: Prima
Activity Example: Ventus tries to make friends with a chaos goddess- what are his life choices even (10+ comments)
Activity Summary: With all the crazy going on with the energon swaps, Ventus found he couldn't do very much, especially after being warned by Axel that exposure could cause him to be affected too. Frustrated but not the least bit deterred, the boy offered what support he could in conversation, and he did go to seek out Thundercracker when the Decepticon was found to be afflicted with a serious case of paranoia. He also met one of the newer residents to arrive under Prima's mark without thinking twice on the possibility that he was intruding into Elsa's ice castle. Eventually Eris arrived, and as expected, curiosity wins out over self-preservation he tries to be helpful, although at least he's a little more careful due to Axel's warning about her.

Character Name: Garrod Ran
Character Alignment: Nexic
Activity Example: Word to the wise kiddies, don't take the Gundam out for a spin on low fuel
Activity Summary: For an independent and occasional delinquent, Garrod sure makes friends with a lot of robo-cops. Deckard's taken to looking out for him because he reminds him of Yuuta or something in some ways. And then I forgot him in April too. Garrod had been trying to conserve energy for his Gundam since power sources around Cybertron are different, but with the weird energon thing happening, he held off on asking about trying to reconfigure the mech. He found out the hard way that the Divider was low on power, managing to save himself and his Gundam from worse damage by firing off the Harmonica blaster, but it's left him with a few busted ribs and his Gundam unable to move. At least he's got some help offered.

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

I had very few sleep I am sorry in advance for the summaries

[raceme]

Character Name:Blurr
Character Alignment:Vector
Activity Example: Blurr's a moron high on green energon
Activity Summary:
-Some time ago Blurr set Cliffjumper and Starscream on a date and this last weeks they finally found a moment to discuss the issue. And got Cliff all embarrassed
-Blurr found crystals of green energon and became Sentinel got all high on power and pride. With Deckard and Bulkhead help he tried to reopen the headquarters located in Megatronus quadrant, pissing off all his acolytes in the process. He's not as sorry as he should be about that.
-He is, however, sorry that he antagonized Rrose, almost flirted with her bike and grabbed her as if she was a puppet. in hsi defense, that's some pretty cool looking bike.
-Thankfully for everyone, Blackarachnia got all B&D on him, tied him up and injected yellow energon on him. On the good side, that cured him. On the bad side being tied up triggered his claustrophobia and he had an anxiety attack. BA let him go soon enough after that happened, at least.
-A few days alter Blurr when to Solus wash-racks with Starscream to play like kids socialize and talk about the effects of the crystals. And get Starscream all embarrassed because Blurr discovered that he scored with Cliff hoooray
-He was overjoyed to see Drift, Rung and Wing back but his little spark got crushed when he realized none of them remember him.

Character Name:Knock Out
Character Alignment: Solus
Activity Example: Knock Out's being a papa
Activity Summary:
-Knock Out has down some pretty idiot stuff those last weeks but what else is new? He found a bunch of pink crystals and then Sentinel showed up which made KO fall in love with him.
-Things went as well as expected with Ko trying to get on Setinel's robot pants and Sentinel being not only his charming self but also high on green energon. Loud noises were made, things were broken and those with good hearing probably ended traumatized...the next day Sentinel kicked him out of his room and Ko wasn't all that happy with that. He was still in love with the chinmaster, feelings are hard yo.
-He had other things to worry about too, like his now adopted kid (Sora) being sick all the time. Knock Out tried to fix him and when he couldn't he asked others for help. He's still embarrassed about that, specially because it was useless.
-He became friends with Rapunzel and Elsa, and maybe people should like, keep him away from the kids. Bad influence and all that.
-He found The Spine sick and lying around and dragged him to the clinic after almost stepping on him by accident (I DID SAY 'LYING AROUND).
-Once he was back to his normal self, he had the most passive aggressive conversation ever with Sentinel.
-When Blackarachnia woke up after her upgrade he tried to cheer her up as well as he could. Meaning, there were a lot of flirting involved and also alcohol.
-He helped Thundercracker to get rid of his Decepticon insignias and they share an interesting tête-à-têt and talked Abbot theri feelings. Except not really because this is Thundercracker and Knock Out who we are talking about and feelings are things that happen to otehr people. But they were polite enough and KO didn't event try to rip off his wings which is what he wants to do when he sees anything that reminds him of Starscream.

Character Name:Eris
Character Alignment:Megatronus
Activity Example:She's new so she's spared!

Character Name:Ratchet
Character Alignment: Solarian
Activity Example: Ratchet Link Comm Post
Activity Summary:
Ratchet has now completed the Synthetic energon formula. However, he is determined to go through the proper channels of testing before he can use it towards other uses. He hopes to test more on human machines with it. That way, Humans can have a renewable resource of gas/fuel for them to use, instead of waiting for a drop from the Lambda. He has also given Sentinel new hands, since after his run in with SG!Ratchet.

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[loborobo]

Character Name:Shadowmaru
Character Alignment:Vector Prime
Activity Example: Shadowmaru exploring
Activity Summary:
For the most part, Shadowmaru has been settling into Cybertron quite well. With Kagerou at his side, he's been transitioning well into living in this strange new place. Lately, he has been training in order to defend himself. He doesn't wish for Kagerou or his team to keep looking after him. He wants to be able to defend himself if things get bad. However, he is still not very trusting towards the First Forged. Having experienced his first change in his glyph, Shadowmaru is worried about what will happen with these First Forged, and them as a populace. Shadowmaru has been reassured that nothing bad comes from gylphs changing, but the First Forged never really set well with the BP unit in the first place,

S-sorry, just not sure how much you wantin the alignment area. Haha

[neverputincharge]

Character Name: Bulkhead
Character Alignment: Primary: Solus Prime/Solian(1/3rd larger with a glow and quite strong. Also Initiate), Secondary: Nexus Prime/Nexic(Strong blue outline)
Activity Example: These three are idiots (300+ comments, combined post with Blurr and Deckard)
Activity Summary: In March, Bulkhead mostly greeted new comers, notablt The Spine and Applejack. He happened apon some green crystals in Solus' public forges. The crystals made him grow in confidence, take on challenges. He challenged Wheeljack to an off road race, and later hooked uo with Blurr and Deckard to take back the police building in Megatronus' quadrant. It went about as well as expected. He wound up insulting people, threatened to beat up Gunmax, and basically stormed off eventually to do more stupid stuff, and talked to Jetstorm when he arrived. He also offered to beat up whoever was blaming Perceptor, but it came to nothing.

Once the affects wore off, he apologized over the network. Feeling guilty for what he did and said. Sometime after that he contacted Ratchet, qnd talked to him about building Spacebridges together, and conspired with Blurr to make the medic relax more. Then he offered to use his metalurgist boon to htlp Spine find a guitar, or pieces for one.

He was a little disheartened when Drift, Wing and Arcee all came back with no memories. But he pushed through it and did what he could to make them feel welcome. He also helped with Perceptor's consensus. After the glyphs changed, he tried to help Kagerou calm down Shadowmaru who was not taking the change well. Not long after, he took a bit of an initiative and posted on the network everything he knows about the glyphs so far, answered questions, and apparently inspired Sentinel to start an FAQ.

Character Name: Skylynx
Character Alignment: Primary: Vector Prime/Vectorian(Just getting more vivid), Secondary: Nexus Prime/Nexic(Faint outline)
Activity Example: Here kitty kitty! (100+ comments.)
Activity Summary: Skylynx was relieved when Blackaracnia woke up again. He got in contact with thepolice, and went in for the tests. Not long after, while checking out Alpha Trion's temple, he found the cat room. In the catroom, he found black crystals to snack on. They made him a lot friendlier, and hestuck around and played with cats. Who were probably thrilled at having a playmate. Thanks to others, he learned more how to take care of the felines, and he hung around for weeks with them. During that time he also found out he was accepted onto the police force.

The affects wore off, and he left the room, and some probably upset kitties behind. He posted to the comm asking after Darksteel, and has been searching for him since.

That is more than fine~

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[badboybikerbot]

Character Name: Gunmax
Character Alignment: Megatronic (do you want secondaries too because his secondary is Maxic /o/)
Activity Example:BONDING WITH POWER JOE or something to that effect
Activity Summary:
-Gunmax was unaffected by the whole energon thing, but he got to deal with Power Joe's stupid greedy energon crap first hand when he moved himself into Gunmax's room and kidnapped his baby AKA Gunbike.
-PJ glued him to the wall. Important plot point this is not really.
-Ironhide glued them both to the wall because PJ was actin' all nutty and Gunmax was being a gigantic asshole and deliberately antagonizing PJ.
-Basically Gunmax spent the entire time being a nuisance, except for when he decided that getting Kagerou drunk would be a good idea- no wait that's still being a nuisance, but in his own dumb Gunmax way he was still trying to help the poor loser out.
-ALSO encouraged Deckard's weird wacky energon induced behavior because that's a good idea
-Tried to pick a fight with Bulkhead for kicks
-BONDED WITH DAD aka Ironhide
-Yelled about stuffed, bitched about things
-Gave Deckard props for all the crap he did during the energon thing because he's a terrible influence on boyscouts
-Started hitting on some chaos goddess because THAT'S a good idea.
-Flipped out over the glyph thing. Got over it mostly
-Still thinks the First Forged can go suck butts

Character Name: Drift
Character Alignment: Vectorian
Activity Example: I think he's technically exempt but here's a link anyway. An enormous link.
Activity Summary: NEW all he's had a chance to do is chat with a billion people

[re_alignedmods]

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[0perator]

Character Name: Alia
Character Alignment: Trionic primary, Vectorian secondary
Activity Example: It's like everyone was taking crazy pills!
Activity Summary: Alia spent the crazy energon crystal event trying to track down the origin and eventually the pattern of the various energy effects. She also stuck fairly close to her own rooms monitoring sensors, though she visited Sora at KO's clinic and again left to help Knock Out with medical testing. After the event, off-screen, she primarily worked on her self-appointed job of constructing and placing a sensor network. She will be ready to announce completion of the perimeter soon, and is working on getting coverage in the public areas. (She'll cross trying to get sensors into the temples later.) Thanks to Skylynx, she also got to pet all of Alpha Trion's kitties, and off-camera has been taking regular breaks to go play with the cats and bring them tidbits and stuff, but she'd punch anyone who makes a fuss over it. Finally, she finds the network chatter around the last alignment adjustment creepy since the Firstforged aren't even there, and her research is likely to take her in the direction to trying to figure out what the frag they even are.

[originaldragoon]

Character Name: Rose
Character Alignment: Vector primary, Prima secondary
Activity Example: What happens when you check on the creeper bot by yourself.
Activity Summary:
- Thanks to some white energon crystals appearing near Liege Maximo's Temple, Rose became invisible for some time. Which she found to be quite annoying.
- She realized something was up with all the crystals when she came across Blurr being a real jerk. She came very close to poking him with the Dragon Buster when he picked her up like she was a rag doll.
- While still invisible, she went down to the holding cells of Police Force HQ when SG!Ratchet threaten to make an explosive out black energon if it was not removed from her cell. That's when she found out certain energons counter acted the effects other energons. As a result she became visible again, while still in SG!Ratchet's cell and he tried to pick her up to take her to the Badlands. what's with all these bots trying to pick her up? She slashed at his hand with her sword and made a run for it out of the cell. Thankfully she's small enough to go between the bars and not bother with a door for this.
- Other than that, she's been doing her usual police work and has been talking with Knock Out about recruiting another member onto the defense committee. Right now they both agree that SG!Starscream would be a good fit.
- She's also been continuing her study on her Dragoon Spirit whenever she is alone in order to learn more about it's connection with Darkness. So far she hasn't learned anything that she didn't already know.
- Also she got quite a surprise when her alignment completely changed from Maxian to Vectorian with Prima being secondary. She's never seen a glyph change that much in so little time.

Character Name: Ravage
Character Alignment: Nexus primary, Trion secondary
Activity Example: Here's Grumpy Cat!
Activity Summary:
- Thanks to black energon, which Ravage found in Nexus's crater and ate it without thinking it through, he became Grumpy Cat for a over a week. He actually started replying with Grumpy Cat pics at some point and called everyone stupid, including the Soundwave from his universe.
- As punishment, Knock Out put the poor kitty in Cone of Shame and the Lizard of Humiliation getup when the energon effects wore off. He pretty much pleaded to get it off, and sent out a bit "I'M SORRY" post onto the Link.
- Speaking of posts, Ravage has been finishing up the final touches for a twitter like feature for the Link, which he will most likely be launching soon.

Character Name: Cinderella
Character Alignment: Vector primary, Maximo secondary
Activity Example: I think I'm paranoid~
Activity Summary:
- The yellow energon that Cindy found in Trion's temple on the way to the library made her paranoid, thinking that the wooden soldiers of her home world may come and try to invade Haven. Needless to say, she felt kinda stupid when the effects wore off.
- She's also been working on her spy gig with Deckard and Blurr. At the moment she is being set up to work as a secretary at Police Force HQ so it wouldn't seem so odd for her to be coming over there all the time to talk with one of them.

Character Name: Wing
Character Alignment: Vectorian

[notyourblueangel]

Character Name: Thundercracker
Character Alignment: VERY strong Alpha Trion, magenta glow (Secondary: Megatronus, strong outline)
Activity Example: It's official, he's no longer a Decepticon
Activity Summary: Welp, Thundercracker's had a fantastic March . . . he spent most of it cowering in the very middle of his berth in abject terror of the vorpal dustbunny scraplets he was absolutely convinced were hiding underneath (hello, yellow energon effects). Oh, and also abject terror of Megatron. It's a toss-up which one gave him worse nightmares. No, really. A few people tried to talk some sense into him, at least. Ventus came to visit at one time. And then SG Starscream came and dragged him off to safety – locking the affected Seeker in his quarters at his own temple.

There was one good thing that came of it, though – Stars asked if TC would like to make this arrangement more permanent. Not the captivity part, of course, but the rooming situation. After all, TC was the one who first brought it up some time back. TC's been silently lonely since Four left. Hell, even before that, he's been missing having ANY semblance of his trine around him since Skywarp vanished on him. He's readily agreed (much to Cliffjumper's deeply suspicious dismay).

He's quite furiously made it VERY VERY CLEAR that he is not even going to acknowledge that the past few weeks happened at all, at least as far as his own behavior is concerned (fastest way to piss off the Seeker is to humiliate him…or worse, him doing so to himself). After that, he went to rescue Ravage from Knock Out's own brand of humiliation (and get/give cuddles over their "argument" while both had been under the influence).

Shortly after, he went to the medbay to talk to Knock Out in private . . . about having the brands removed from his wings finally. And it didn't take long for someone to notice – as soon as he walked in the door at "home", in fact. Besides, patrols and greeting the odd newcomer (WING!!! Wing Wing he's so happy!), he's not really been up to much since.

He's currently living with SG Starscream, which is I think in the Vectorian Temple.


Character Name: Deckard
Character Alignment: Prima, very strong, just grew 1/3 (Vector secondary, faint outline)
Activity Example: Deckard wants to apologize for his everything.
Activity Summary: Deckard started out the month well enough, hanging out with Garrod and being introduced to the boy's Gundam. The rest of the month, though – absolutely no thanks to green energon crystals – was kind of a blur. Or Blurr. And Bulkhead. He more or less remembers saying and especially doing a lot of rude or foolish things, especially connected to reclaiming the ruined police station in Megatronus's quadrant. And . . . wasn't there something about building a road over a lava pit?

His recovery from that brought him "this close" (at least at first) to resigning from the Police Force in self-inflicted disciplinary action for his disgraceful behavior. (As a sort of double-standard, though, it's not something he would have asked or expected of anyone else, such as his fellow Green-affected cohort, Blurr.) Instead, he went and hid decided to take some time studying in Alpha Trion's library. Then got dragged out for drinks with Gunmax. He's been keeping a pretty low profile since, just quietly doing his job of patrolling and greeting newcomers.

One of whom, Eris, has definitely managed to throw him for one HELL of a loop…

Deckard has a room in Prima's Temple, but he rarely goes there. He pretty much live out of the "Decker Room" and garage at the police precinct.

[wherenobotsgone]

Character Name: Skyfire
Character Alignment: Trionic primary (Initiate), Solian secondary
Activity Example: Link post
Activity Summary: Skyfire got affected by the orange energon crystals, which caused him to sneak into other people's laboratories to steal as many tools and instruments as he could. This led to a few unfortunate first impressions and the even more unfortunate moment when DW!Starscream shot him thinking he was a piranhacon. After the effect passed, however, he did get out of his away to return everything.
He also spent some time talking with Perceptor about both the need to find out how many different universes are out there, and about how a lot of people failed to think of it as important. For some reason.

[treacherous_widow]

Character Name: Blackarachnia
Character Alignment: Initiate of Liege Maximo
Activity Example: When experiments EXPLODE.

Activity Summary:
- BA got slapped with yellow energon. She spent most of the time afraid/avoiding people.
- Except when she ran into Sentinel in the junkpile and he nearly stomped on her. She fought back, tied him up and bit him. Aaaand they accidentally cured each other.
- Figures out that yellow cures green and uses that knowledge to stop Blurr from being an idiot in Megatronus's quadrant.
- Tries to study samples of the various colored energon and gets nowhere. When they loose their color she tries one more experiment and it blows up in her face. Otherwise, BA has all of the data she's collected ready for Liege to view when he gets back.
- Aaand now BA is working on talking herself out of trouble for "attacking" Sentinel during the energon fiasco and denying stripping his paint/breaking into his room several months ago.

And during all of this, she's been cataloging and keeping up whatever experiments/lab work that Liege assigned her. >.> He'll have nice organized labs whenever he gets back.

[letmefixyou]

Character Name: ratcho ratchet
Character Alignment: megatronus primary, liege secondary
Activity Example: obnoxiously bangs a cup on his cell bars
Activity Summary: ratchet hasn't been doing much because he's still in jail! though, he still does occasionally check the link between carving giant pictures of robot dicks on the wall and takes it upon himself to pop up unannounced and be an asshole.

unfortunately, no-one was actually stupid enough to fall for his "come to my cell" plot during the energon event so he could knock them out and drag them to the badlands as a sacrifice for the grand overlord sultan god unicron. that didn't really bother him at all, because he's really hard to get down about these things. he still has the defunct crystal in his cell and has probably carved a face into it and talks to it because he is a nut

[re_alignedmods]

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[primest]

Character Name: sentinel prime
Character Alignment: vector primary, alpha trion secondary
Activity Example: HELPING
Activity Summary: oH MAN HES BEEN BUSY

the energon event thing happened and he snorted a shitton of green energon, then did a Thing with knock out which he regrets and made sure to let knock out KNOW he regrets it because feelings are for weenies. he also got into a fight with blackarachnia and they accidentally cured each other because opposite energons

jetstorm showed up!! sentinel was happy to see the jettwin but also kind of HURM because jetfire didn't follow... but talked jetstorm into joining the police force! he also made goose hissing noises at knock out because he looked at jetstorm. do not touch my son. he will probably try to get child support from the first forged eventually idk!!!! ratchet also gave him his new hands and they are NEATO and super sharp and better than his old ones but he's not gonna tell anyone that

currently, he was mildly annoyed by the influx of questions on the link because he hasn't figured out how to turn off the beeping noise it makes when a new post is made and it keeps waking him up and GODDAMNIT so he's decided he wants to write a FAQ for new arrivals! he said he'd let bulkhead help him with it but he probably will ignore most of the wrecker's input because he is sentinel. also, he's brought BA's rampant douchebaggery to blurr and they are gonna try and sort that out

FTR I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO WRITE AN IC FAQ

[o0blueandgold0o]

Character Name: The Spine
Character Alignment: Solus Prime
Activity Example: Guitarhunt!
Activity Summary: The Spine's luck has been sort of in the middle so far. He's got experience in inter-dimensional shenanigans so this whole thing isn't entirely horrific. But some of his choices in friends and who to trust are... not that great. (Here's looking at you GLaDOS and Eris.)

He got hit with a dose of brown energon, and thankfully was found by Knockout rather than getting run over when he hit the floor. Until the effects wore off, he was stuck in the medbay, going more than a little stir crazy. Noticing the distinct lack of a pawnshop or music store to get instruments at, he put out an inquiry to the others in search of a guitar. Unfortunately the one that was there was... a little big for him, though he did appreciate the offer from Blurr. With Deckard's help, he was able to find enough raw materials, as well as a couple broken instruments he could use for parts, and since then he's just been busy doing what he can to piece together a working instrument.

Character Name: Jetstorm
Character Alignment: Nexus Prime
Activity Example: BABYJET HAS ARRIVED
Activity Summary: Jetstorm was more than a little confused about where he showed up. Relieved of course to see Sentinel Prime and Blurr of course, but more than a little anxious to be without his twin. Between the two of them, he was convinced to join the police force, though Sentinel was forced to sit with the jettwin while he waited in the altar room for his brother for far longer than the grumpy Prime would have liked.

He still owes Knockout a race, which he's definitely looking forward to.

And he's had a chance to talk to the new person, Eris, and thinks that while she's kinda weird, or maybe creepy with that introduction of hers, she's actually nice! (to him for now anyways)

Character Name: Applejack
Character Alignment: Nexus
Activity Example: Just got here and already losing friends
Activity Summary: Applejack arrived and found out that she wasn't the only pony on the planet, but soon lost that only other pony, Rarity. Not really sure how to work with giant robots, she's been sticking to trying to get stuff to grow in the garden that she's found. She hopes to have a small crop of random veggies and such for people to nom upon soon!

[re_alignedmods]

Applejack's post link is 5 comments short of the minimum length. Please provide a link to 5 additional comments by May 27th, or she will fail the AC.

[aerospacecommander]

Character Name: Starscream
Character Alignment: Megatronus
Activity Example: THEY ARE COMING
Activity Summary: Well. Starscream got affected by the energon and may have locked himself in his room a closet for a long while. Because all of it was totally Megatron's fault. He did it. Other than that, he's been tormenting greeting all the new arrivals. And he's totally plotting to find his alternate for finding his super secret base and punching him repeatedly into the floor.

Since I'm in Hawaii, I'm asking for an exemption for this AC period. Haitus is posted on the Hiatus page. <3

[re_alignedmods]

Exemption granted, thank you!

[invisiblepinkboat]

Character Name: Cliffjumper
Character Alignment: Main Vector, secondary Megatronus
Activity Example: Can't avoid talking about the pink energon any longer.
Activity Summary: Got tricked into a "date" with SG!Starscream by Blurr because the blue mech thought they ~had something~. A lot of embarrassment stemmed from that, and then later Cliffjumper yelled at Blurr for causing the situation. He was exposed to the pink crystals and happened to see Starscream first, which led to some fluffy feelings. He also yelled/frowned at Blurr, Bulkhead and Deckerd for their rather stupidly daring retaking of the police force building in Megatronus quadrant and wondered if building a bridge over lava was a smart thing. After the effect of the energon crystals faded, Cliffjumper tried to avoid Starscream, but checked in on him over the network. Later also checked if Garrod, after having crashed his Gundam, was okay and needed help/tried to give suggestions on how to fix the issues with it.

Character Name: Jetfire
Character Alignment: Main Liege, secondary Solus
Activity Example: Skyfire deciding the equipment in the lab is his.)
Activity Summary: Having taken Sari flying, later Starscream claims they need to move back to his room in Megatornus' temple. At first Starscream refuses to explain WHY, but after a bit of digging he does cough up an explanation. During the issues with the coloured energon crystals Jetfire was exposed to white ones, but didn't have much of a chance to run some experiments or scans, as he spent most of it trying to find Starscream (affected by the green ones) and had a lot of equipment taken because Skyfire decided it was all his and removed it. When he finally caught up to Starscream Jetfire had to spend some time coaxing the mech out of hiding to get him some proper recharge.
After it he talked about creating paint with Rapunzel and tried to reassure Skyfire the damage he'd done by going around stealing stuff wasn't irreparable, plus talking about the strange crystals and the way they'd gone inert with Blackarachnia, and lastly welcomed/talked with a newly arrived Seeker.

Character Name: Elita One
Character Alignment: Main Solus, secondary Nexus
Activity Example: Meeting an invisible Rose during the event!
Activity Summary: Having been affected by the orange crystals, Elita spent a lot of time trying to get more energon crystals and met an invisible Rose, promising to to fetch the crystals Rose had been affected by so they could be scanned by medics (but she'd keep them herself after that).
She suggested Ironhide might have been exposed to nucleon (though it was white energon crystals) when he expressed confusion over his invulnerability and later tried to help a black energon crystal-affected Sari. She ended up taking her to medics.
She later tried to help Jetstorm when he arrived, asking for his twin, and helped Sentinel carry high grade so he could get overcharged. It was... awkward. She side-eyed Eris a lot when she arrived, but talked to her to get a feeling for the strange human-looking woman.

[loyalflier]

Character Name: Starscream
Character Alignment: Primary Vectorian, Secondary Solian
Activity Example: Starscreams have the worst luck
Activity Summary: Woo Threadtracking! But on this episode of "A Day in the Life of an SG Con..."

Starscream came into contact with pink energon, causing some serious crush time with Cliffjumper being the unfortunate soul on which he lavished with attention so sweet that I'm sure there were many much cavities to fix later. Other major events these months have been: Starscream finishing the building/upgrading/repainting Cliffjumper's jetpack, doing morning patrols with Thundercracker, rescuing TC from the dustbunnies ( yeah he doesn't get that ), and fussing with inert energon crystals. Something else he did was visit SG Ratchet and while not falling into that trap, he went to make sure that the insane quack DIDN'T blow anything up. He reassured Perceptor that no one was really blaming him or anyone for the crystals and what was going on too. Starscream and Rewind had a nice little chat about AIs being people and not toasters, thanks. After the event, he went out drinking with Kagerou and had some serious discussions about feelings with Blurr just trying to sort himself out. He asked and became roommates with TC because the guy wanted company and Starscream doesn't mind while later supporting him in his decision to become a neutral and giving him the encouragement that he needed to hear. After Cliffjumper avoided him for a week, Starscream more or less broke into the minibot's place and sat down and talked to him about what happened. They hashed it out quite nicely, then CJ proceeded to lecture Starscream about trusting positive polarity Decepticons. Starscream was severely disappointed in CJ for not being a little more open minded to giving people a second chance. But then he decided that he needed to work on two projects: faster transportation methods for the humans and portable showers. He met and talked to both Wing and Drift and is quite curious about their Crystal City... But he gets into a bit of a debate with Wing about the Circle leaving the war and the responsibility of Cybertronians to ensure their war doesn't spread to other planets. Starscream wraps up this AC period with finding DW Starscream's hidden lab and getting into a fight... Because SG Starscream took the notes and kind of outted that the guy is doing suspicious things.

Wow that was long and very abbreviated. So sorry!


Character Name: Sora
Character Alignment: Primary Prima, Secondary Nexic
Activity Example: Sick boys should stay in bed
Activity Summary: Mostly sick for the majority of Mach and a bit of April because, welp. BROWN ENERGON. That being said, he is very happy with the way that Knock Out took care of him for a good, long while. Plans to make it up to him somehow! Rapunzel tried to cure him and she was very distressed when nothing worked, but Sora did his best to reassure her that he was fine and that he magic hair will work again, that it just takes time. Alia taught him some things about germs and why this sickness was strange - it shouldn't be happening at all because of science reasons Sora doesn't understand but smiles and nods anyway. Kay, Wheeljack, Deckard, and Axel all visited him in the clinic and Sora is so very happy to have them check up on him. Makes him all warm and fuzzy inside. He kind of poked fun at Power Joe for the hoarding thing and kind of got on Wheeljack about the exploding thing too. Power Joe apologizes and Sora kind of hopes that maybe he can be friends with that guy. Sora also pretty much declared himself Drift's friend when the guy first shows up on the link and bothers Drift with his ubreaking friendliness as well. When Bulkhead and Blurr are all about rebuilding, he expresses concern about it, but ultimately just kind of has his energy drained because of being sick. He's started to speak to Ironhide a little more this time around and yeah. Sora is being Sora and kind of just talking to and at anyone that he possibly can. Because that's how he rolls.

[nobody_number_8]

Character Name: Axel
Character Alignment: Megatronic primary, with a shiny new Trionic Secondary
Activity Example: Axel tries to figure out WTF is up with all that colored energon going around. (Link Network post)
Activity Summary: Axel has had a busy couple of months. Among he usual greeting various newcomers and things, he's joined the police force, and has been helping out with them ever since. He also met Elsa, who has similar magic to his own, but ice based instead of fire, and has been practicing with her to help her gain better control of them. He's also been subtly trying to get her to socialize a bit more, hoping that might help her out with her fears a bit. He was also turned insubstantial at one point during all that colored energon craziness. Just recently, he fell into an update coma, which promises to bring about some big changes for him...

Character Name: Jadewing
Character Alignment: Nexic
Activity Example: He's new so he's exempt.

[sariexmachina]

Character Name: Sari Sumdac
Character Alignment: Nexus
Activity Example: Going Zombie And a second log for flavor
Activity Summary: So after enjoying her random flight with a bemused Jetfire, Sari got to experience the thrills of energon-induced mild zombification. Thankfully for everyone involved, faux-human teeth can't bite through metal.

Somehow, Sari emerged from this untraumatized and back to normal.

Otherwise, she has simply resumed her previous habits of poking people on the network, introing new people to the lovely world of Cybertron, and generally making a chatty pest of herself - the return of several old faces has her hopeful that some of her old friends might return as well, but she isn't holding her breath.

[fractalize]

Character Name: Queen Elsa of Arendelle
Character Alignment: Prima.
Activity Example: do you wanna build a castle?
Activity Summary: Elsa arrived with her typical reaction; scared she was going to hurt or kill someone.
Everyone was particularly helpful in this case, talking her down to only a minute panic, rather than a full blown freak out. She wanted to find Anna, who she accepted eventually wasn't here. She then worried for Anna; that she'd frozen over with Arendelle in her absence. Garrus, Ironhide, Knockout, Axel, Sora, Alia and Mirage (all separately) were kind enough to help her believe that it wasn't going to happen.
She tried hiding her powers, but failed fantastically, her impending panic ruining that for her. She froze her communicator, then tried talking through it.
Knock Out consoles her, convincing her that the robots weren't all going to kill her, and that her powers were pretty normal. Rapunzel helps with this, meeting up with her and the two show each other that they aren't the only ones hiding their powers from someone.
Axel further proves this, even going as far as seeking her out and showing her how he controls fire. Elsa, still scared, finds the utmost comfort in it; If he can control fire so easily, she could learn to control ice. The two decide she can do with some practice, and that would help her the most. Axel meets up with her immediately to go practicing at Megatronus' temple, but not without him first telling her his life story. She empathizes, telling him that he isn't a Nobody if he has something of a heart.
Later on, after getting in a bit of practice, she creates where she's going to live, a smaller, but familiar ice castle in Prima's quadrant. Ventus is the first one she meets, and concludes that he's a knight of Prima (in her opinion). She's still cautious about her powers, but comforted by how everyone thinks that her powers are just...normal.
Knock Out contacts her again, and the two eventually plan a trip to Trion's library.
Rapunzel visits her again, someone she's willing to open her home to.
Not long after, Axel falls asleep to regain his memories (canon update). She's mildly distressed, but is immediately relieved that there's a possibility that he wakes up with his heart. She visits him, and stays til he wakes up.

Character Name: GLaDOS
Character Alignment: Liege, Alpha secondary
Activity Example: hey anyone know how to reverse dead
Activity Summary: Baffled since last activity check, GLaDOS has created her tools for self defense. Extendable, incredibly sharp microfilament fingers. Not her primary form of defense, but she'll work on turrets later. She participated in the energon event, only to find that no one was going to take her offers of help seriously.
Less menacingly, she asked later about bringing the dead back to life. No one liked that question, so naturally, anyone with a stark opinion had to answer. She continues to work on the dead centipede, anticipating her Firstforged return, however, whether or not he really cares about him and instead cares about letting the centipede loose in the Haven is really up for debate.

[tower_bound]

Character Name: Rapunzel
Character Alignment: Vector Prime
Activity Example: Do you wanna paint a snowman?
Activity Summary: Rapunzel hasn't really done much (thanks to my much needed across-the-board slowatus), but during the event she was devastated to discover her hair couldn't heal Sora, and post-event has managed to gather paint supplies and has begun the decorating of her room in the temple... after some guidance-seeking about how to make paint/whether it's toxic/promising to paint a portrait of KO in exchange for some of his car paint. Nothing terribly exciting to anyone but Rapunzel.

[thxforthememories]

Character Name: Kagerou
Character Alignment: Trion
Activity Example: My boyfriend is dumb
Activity Summary:
Basically spent the last few months getting his partner settled and taking care of his family and the other BPs. There was an incident with a giant centipede but he's more or less had a quiet time of it, and he's grateful for that.


Character Name: Ironhide
Character Alignment: Megatron-ish
Activity Example: Yeah I fell down a hole
Activity Summary:
More quiet time, more spending time taking care of people important to him, especially those he's "adopted". The goings-on around haven don't really bother him much, so long as those he looks after are safe. He did fall off a cliff trying to check on what looked like more tainted energon, but nothing really exciting occurred.
