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.

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