Soooooo of course this is Wing's fault. We are not shocked are we?

Since this topic is mostly going to be head canon, I thought we could get some idea sharing happening on what Cybertronian cultural arts might include.

There could be a wide range of things and not everything needs to apply universally. Some things could be region specific, limited to certain universes, or just something your character made up. This would explain why different characters may have never heard or seen certain things, allowing us as players to pick and choose. Likely the more popular ideas would be the most widespread arts/activities.

I thought it'd be cool to form a melting pot of ideas that players could then pull from in the game. I would love to see any and all suggestions! Let's Collaborate!

I also welcome any and all notable references to these things in canon so that we can use that as a basis. I'll try and gather them all together.

Cultural arts generally include: song, music, dance, theater, architecture, visual arts and literature, etc.

Going forth from this point, we're changing the way alignment works on applications.

Instead of leaving it to you to figure out what Firstforged your character matches before they come into the game, we're going to start 'sorting hat' characters into their 'houses' based on the personality/history of each app! We'll be leaving the Starting Polarity question there, however, so in case there is a particular Firstforged that you're wanting we can take that into account.

Keep in mind also that even if you don't get who you want to start with, it's not difficult to change Alignment in-game. You can move into a different temple, or watch for Quests or Favors posts that will go up from time to time. There will be lots of opportunities to re-align yourself through your own actions or through events...which is exactly what we're looking for, so move around to your heart's content!

In addition, after this app cycle we will be imposing a limit of one character per active canon per mun, as a way to clear-cut the 'don't app similar characters' rule and to help prevent issues with character interactions/backstory being revealed later in a canon. Please note that this only applies to canons which are still ongoing, and not to canons which have finished, which you will be able to app two characters from.

Let us know if you have any questions below.
