Upcoming Events!
So we're about to enter our third month, and we have got some events in store for you and for your characters! Please enjoy our crappy internet graphics as we proceed into the...
Coming up from September 9th through the 16th will be our first event involving the powers of the Firstforged!
Unbeknownst to the residents of our primordial Cybertron, a book from Alpha Trion's personal library has gone missing. Even worse, the pages seem to have been removed, and perhaps even worse, he hasn't noticed yet.
So what does this mean for your characters?
Havoc, of course.
On the 8th, every character who wants to participate will find a blank page of proportionate size lying around randomly somewhere on their daily routine. This page will seem to call out to them subtly, prompting them to write on it or draw on it or be creative with it in some way. They might want to write a letter, a journal entry, or a short story. They might want to draw a self-portrait, or a picture of their imaginary friend. Either way, anyone who puts 'pen' to paper will, for the event's duration, find their lives drastically changed...
How this works
Use the text box below to sign your characters up by replying to this post. There will be only one page given to each character, but you may sign up every character you have if you wish!
Rules:
The last day for submissions will be midnight central time, September 7th. If you want, on the 8th they may make a post about their find, and on the 9th...?
Well, that is when things will get exciting.
The mods will post a reply to each submission below on the 8th and 9th, letting you know what your character's week will be like based on what was put down on the page. At that point, feel free to make posts/logs/etc dealing with the fallout.
Alpha Trion, meanwhile, will be attempting to collect the pages and set things to rights. By the 15th, he'll have collected all the pages, and things will have returned to normal!
During October, we will also have a small-scale 'haunting' event (with more info to come later) in preparation for November's large event...
The Glyphless
The Firstforged have warned you about going too close to the badlands. They've warned you about the monsters that come out of the Lambda. They've warned you not to trust any creature who doesn't bear the mark of Primus.
What they haven't warned you about is how those creatures can be your best friends.
During the October Application period, the mods of Re-Aligned will be accepting mini-apps for 'The Glyphless.' The Glyphless can be any person from any continuity who isn't already in the game that you can play for a short-term during the month of November. They'll arrive on the junk pile with no Glyph, and for the first three weeks of their existence they'll be normal player characters, ekeing out existence on Cybertron and trying to cope with being far from home.
On the fourth week they'll go insane, gain extra abilities, and try to kill anyone and everyone in their path indiscriminately.
There are a few perks to playing a Glyphless. Their apps will be much shorter, we won't be enforcing the canon-limits rules for them, it's still okay to app AU's and OCCs for this event, and there might be a future opportunity to bring a character back into the game, depending. This will also be a good way to show that you're capable of having an extra character, so participants will be awarded an extra character slot (to bring the max up to five) if they so chose. However, each player will only be allowed to bring in one character through the event, so consider wisely.
More information on this will be coming soon, but feel to ask questions below if you have any!

SETTINGS ADDITIONS
As a FINAL note, now that we've got building materials there have been a number of new structures starting to surface across the face of Cybertron! If you've recently built something or set up a makeshift lab/clinic/lemonade stand in one of the Firstforged temples, head on over to the World Page and fill out the text box near the top! Making a comment on that entry will ensure your new location gets added to our world, which will give our new characters more places to explore!

How this works
Use the text box below to sign your characters up by replying to this post. There will be only one page given to each character, but you may sign up every character you have if you wish!
Rules:
- Your character may write up to 1000 words of text, or draw up to three pictures.
- This must be in character. A Megatron, for instance, wouldn't suddenly be drawing pictures of fuzzy kittens (unless he'd recently stepped on some) and Optimus Prime (probably) wouldn't write emo poetry. Be creative, but keep it within the range of likelihood!
- Be aware OOCly that what you're writing will have a direct impact on your character during the event. This will be different for each person (we'd like to surprise you a little, after all!) but don't have your character write or draw something that makes YOU uncomfortable, as you'll be the one dealing with it.
- Keep all writing/drawing/descriptions of drawing within the game's rating limits, and BE SURE TO WARN for anything rated in the field provided.
- If your Page affects a character that has not fully signed up (insomuch to find a Page themselves), we ask that you have them post under your comment giving OOC permission!

no subject
Medium used on page: A cybertronian-sized pen found with the Home Depot.
Warnings for Content: Nothing.
What they do with the page: Several pretty detailed sketches of various possible altmodes that would accomodate her current frame design, the majority of them leaning towards clear hover capability. Plus, on the reverse side, a goofy little sketch of (Classics) Grimlock and Springer with this written between those two figures; "Miss you all." Underneath which the names of the crew of the Graviton (Grimlock, Ultra Magnus, Springer, Huffer, Snarl, Swoop, Strongarm and Tyrannitron) are all written.
Limits: Nothing permanent, preferably nothing too terrible physically or mentally, and I'll.. probably be fine with it if someone includes Elita anywhere.
Character Name + Universe: Cliffjumper | TF: Classics/SG
Medium used on page: Spraypaint.
Warnings for Content: Um... stick-figure violence?
What they do with the page: The whole page's just a lot of kind of sloppy cybertronian equivalent of stick-figure drawings of SG!Prime being killed. Exploded, his head shot off by Cliffjumper using his rifle, crushed underneath the Ark...
Limits: Depends on what way he'd be affected, and nothing permanent.
no subject
The page certain understands your intent, even if it's not quite smart enough to catch onto the execution. You'd find, for the duration of the event, that you still have your boat-form...it's just now equipped with hover-jets that let you 'boat' over the ground swiftly, provided there aren't any iceburgs. Or. Other sharp rocks.
CLIFFJUMPER:
Oh, yes, the page totally knows what you're going for!
You obviously need an army of small, stick figure SG!Optimus Prime's coming after you, chasing you everywhere and being generally hard to smash and destroy, each acting like a (strangely adorable) version of the horrible Prime that you remember. Their shrill voices even sound the same, if higher pitched. They can't be defeated by being stepped on, either, but they certainly don't take to fire well...even if they like respawning ever so often to begin the fight anew!
Note: Each 'Missing Pages' response has been drafted with the players and their content in mind. However, we aren't infallible, so if there's something within this response that makes you uncomfortable, please do not hesitate to PM this account so we can straighten it out ASAP.
