May Activity Check
Hello Re-Alignment! It's time for the
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AC Rules!

EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITY
Examples of activity are really straightforward: we just need you to give us the URL to anytwo one of the following:
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.

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