January Activity Check
Hello Re-Alignment! It's time for the
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AC Rules!
~
EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITY
Examples of activity are really straightforward: we just need you to give us the URL to any two of the following:
You may provide two of the same KIND of example (two Link posts, two log threads, etc.) 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 two examples 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 (or two, as required to meet the minimum requirement) 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.

1st Example: The Case of the Missing Ship
2nd Example: LOVE IS IN BLOOOOOOOM~ Ahem.
Activity Summary:
Rung's been rather busy of late taking care of others, especially after the event with the Glyphless. Many individuals came to his office--Ventus, Wing, Kagerou, and Dead End just to name a few--and he made sure to keep his door open for all of them while personally going and checking in on some such as Ultra Magnus. He's taken a bit of a personal interest in Dead End's well being, his feelings for the other starting to go well beyond that of a doctor and patient. He recently went to speak with Prima about finding a way to help Dead End survive without having to kill others to do so. His relationship with Whirl has taken a complete nosedive while he's reconnected with another--Fortress Maximus--though their first face to face meeting wasn't all that pleasant because of the inclusion of Tarn. He's most recently been helping Drift with a situation that the other is going through, encouraging him to live his own life and not let another dictate what he needs to be doing.
Character Name: Rocket Raccoon
1st Example: VENTURE FORTH
2nd Example: Bromancing with Max
Activity Summary:
Rocket has been doing his own thing since his arrival in Haven, though he did take the time to join up with the police force. He's still wary of most and missing his team quite a bit, something that's been helped by his shooting adventures with Fort Max and escapades with a drunk Wrex. He's currently helping Garrus and the rag tag bunch he assembled to investigate a ship filled with something called Husks. Should be interesting and fun to shoot, as far as Rocket's concerned.
Character Name: Smokescreen
1st Example: Taunting the pretty one
2nd Example: Remembering Dadbot ;-;
Activity Summary:
The whole fiasco with the glyphless hit Smokescreen pretty hard. Having Optimus in Haven with them was perfect! It was just what they needed! And then he and Bulkhead found out what they were going to have to do and it became not so wonderful. After helping put the Autobot leader down, Smokescreen took off for a bit to clear his head, and was approached by quite a few concerned parties, including Perceptor and Ultra Magnus, both of whom were asked personally by Optimus to keep an optic on the scout. If it wasn't for them, Bulkhead, and Alpha Trion himself, Smokescreen probably wouldn't have been able to shake the distraught he was feeling but he has and he's back in Haven causing problems--well, some problems. He's trying to be good because his notdads are a lot meaner than Optimus. (Though he does respect them both secretly.)
