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.

ULTRA MAGNUS
1st Example: The Glyphless must be dealt with.
2nd Example: Justice the turbofox's arrival.
Activity Summary:
- In most of November, Ultra Magnus spent his time tending to attempt to assist the Glyphless. Although bothered that Vector Prime suggested they just kill them, he refused and decided to protect them instead, due to them being the many faces of friends, comrades, and even his commanding officer. He made sure the Glyphless knew they were not alone.
- HE WAS PRETTY PISSED ABOUT OVERLORD BEING FREED and buttmad about not being assigned to keep an eye on him, but he obeyed Blurr's orders.
- This also means that when Rodimus asked for Ultra Magnus, he sort of, ah, was convinced to spend a lot of time with his captain. A lot of personal time.
They did the horizontal tango for a week straight.- When Magnus contacted the network, he learned that Hot Rod attacked Perceptor and confronted Hot Rod about it, having him become locked away in stasis cuffs.
- Rodimus demanded that he go with him and Drift to escape the effects bothering him. Ultra Magnus eventually agreed when he felt things were secure enough. This turned out to be a horrible mistake as Rodimus was consumed by insanity and killed Drift. Magnus engaged Rodimus in battle, forced to kill him. Eventually, Ultra Magnus returned to Haven to announce that the Glyphless are going insane.
- Shortly after, Ultra Magnus was forced to kill Tailgate and Hound. He also went and collected Hot Rod's body and took an injured Swerve away. Primeverse Optimus Prime asked him to watch Smokescreen and guard him. Ultra Magnus agreed, becoming one of Smokescreen's two appointed guardians.
- Injured in body and mind, Ultra Magnus struggled to continue working. Eventually, he found himself seeking emotional assistance from Rung, who has been helping him. Fort Max brought him high grade, Wheeljack checked in on him, as did Blurr.
- Ever since the Glyphless event, Ultra Magnus has found himself immensely protective of his crew. PAPA BEAR MODE, ACTIVATE.
- Eventually, First Aid repaired him.
- Ultra Magnus spent most of December being horribly depressed about having to kill his
lovercaptain and his crewmembers. He snapped at Wing and a few people a few times and eventually apologized to Vector Prime for not following his instructions. Vector asked him to find a way to stop this from happening again.- He got a warhammer and a pet turbo fox that he ended up naming Justice. He has Smokescreen play with it frequently.
- Through his drunken stupor, he got himself handcuffed to Wheeljack under Perceptor's crappy supervision. They had a few silly hijinks.
- Currently, Ultra Magnus was transformed into a cat by Alpha Trion because he drunkenly confronted him about ridiculous shit that'll be explained later. He has reluctantly become Vandal's cat and no one actually knows that.
Re: ULTRA MAGNUS
Alignment Adjustments will be announced in a follow-up post a few days from now, so keep an eye on the OOC comm.
