MAY ACTIVITY CHECK

[re_alignedmods]

Hello Re-Alignment! It's time for the



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<b>Character Name:</b> <b>1st Example:</b> <a href="INSERT LINK/LOG/THREAD URL HERE">WITTY EXAMPLE TEXT</a> <b>2nd Example:</b> <a href="INSERT LINK/LOG/THREAD URL HERE">WITTY EXAMPLE TEXT</a> <b>Activity Summary:</b> (This only needs to be a small paragraph or list of what your character has done. Feel free to be general (IE 'McCrane has spent the last two months trying to find fuel to survive, getting an engine overhaul, and then building all the places.') or to be specific (IE 'McCrane has made friends with Noisy Boy, working with him to construct a punching block while trying to come up with ways for him to defeat Midas and thus gain the other robot's respect. He's also been...' etc).

AC Rules!

• -Comment to this entry using the above text box, once for each character. You may combine multiple characters into one post.
  
• -We'll be accepting any activity for this check that occurred between March 7th and May 7th.
  
• -You will need to post two Examples of Activity and an Activity Summary for every character you have in the game. (See below)
  
• -Any character accepted in the most recent application cycle (April 15th onward) will not be required to participate in this Activity Check.
  
• -You will have one week from when this post goes up to provide your activity check (so until end of day May 14th).
  

~

EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITY

Examples of activity are really straightforward: we just need you to give us the URL to any two of the following:

• -A Link-network post made by your character containing at least 20 comments of any kind
  
• -A log post made by your character containing at least 7 comments of any kind
  
• -Any thread in the main community in which your character has made at least 10 comments
  
• -Any thread in the logs community in which your character has made at least 5 comments
  

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 needed 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.

Character Name: Albert Heinrich/004
1st Example: 004 and the big bad doc
2nd Example: Albert is a doll
Activity Summary: For a little bit Albert grappled with his fellow robots and humans turning into different species, then him becoming a doll. He continued hiding his missing arm for awhile before realizing he needed an arm if he was to continue his job. He turned to Knockout for the job, a sort of deal with the devil he regrets. Meanwhile in the police force Albert dealt with shifts in internal politics and the affair involving the murder of Four, growing suspicious of Frenzy and Tarn.

Character Name: Urdnot Wrex
1st Example: The rise of Wrexcoon
2nd Example: Wrex becomes a Wrexer
Activity Summary: These months, with the winding down of the previous monster invasion, have proven uneventful for Wrex. Aside from becoming a raccoon, nothing much had happened to gain the krogan's attention. For the most part he hung out in Shepard's Mako, occasionally venturing for things like auditioning for Wheeljack's Wreckers crew. And lately he vouched for Miko and Kay as members of the police force.

Character Name: Crow T Robot
1st Example: Crow's grand entrance
2nd Example: Crow confuses a psychiatrist
Activity Summary: Crow has had a doozy of a month. He comes to the dystopian version of Wisconsin, aka Cybertron. Next he meets a bot with a silky smooth voice who decides to let him on something called the DJD, whatever he's a lawman now. He sees a bot die before his eyes and soon after discuss immortality with same bot, who warns him of the silky smooth Tarn. But he seems like an ok guy...sure, he has a dog with control issues, but he can't be that bad, right?

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[4_toteachus]

Character Name: 4
1st Example: OMG I'M HOOMIN
2nd Example: What are slaves even good for anyway?
Activity Summary:

As curious as ever, Four embraced her transformation into a human with open arms. To her, the feeling of being alive is better than anything in the world. Everything, from learning to eat to feeling the wind on her skin, felt wonderful. She had hoped beyond hoped that the firstforged would let her remain human, but that wasn't meant to be. After this event, she decided that she was a girl.

Having accused Tarn as her murderer some time ago, Four felt very guilty when Tarn asked her for an apology. She willingly gave it, even though Tarn didn't deserve it (though she doesn't know that) and even voted for him to remain on the Law Committee as a form of apology. Four is very slowly becoming one of Tarn's minions.

In the aftermath of the murder, Megatronus gave Frenzy to Four as a slave, which left Four feeling very unsure about this arrangement. She didn't argue though, Megatronus was several thousand times bigger than her, and Frenzy did deserve a little bit of humiliation.

Character Name: Cody Burns
1st Example: Throwing down a police report
2nd Example: Are you feeling lonely Cody?
Activity Summary:

Cody has been busy as the Police Force secretary. Near the end of the month of March he pulled together a police report and chatted with several of its members. Later, he made another post and asked if anyone else was lonely, since he wasn't the only kid here and all, this lead to some thoughtful conversations with Ultra Magnus. He chatted with Fracas about the roads the Vehicon had proposed, and was determined to help them out there.

About a month later, after Rung's murder, Cody made another report. At this point he wanted to set up some more surveillance cameras around the Haven. He might eventually go ahead with his camera plan anyway, with or without the firstforged's permission.

Character Name: Quickstrike
1st Example: Murder is fun
2nd Example: Gloating about murder is funner
Activity Summary:

Quickstrike's been mighty busy this time 'round! Being a bored cowboy, Quickstrike asked the link if anyone out there had something interestin' to offer him. Turns out, one such person did. Tarn, being the great guy he is, asked Quickstrike to go take care of Rung, which Quickstrike eagerly jumped on. He didn't even ask for a payment, he just wanted something fun to do. On his way to Rung, he encountered Shockwave and spent a couple days in his "care" before eventually emerging stronger then he was before.

Delighted with his new powers, Quickstrike attacked Rung and gleefully poisoned him and tore his face to pieces. For his very first kill, it wasn't too bad! Satisfied with his work, Quickstrike left a dying Rung and went off to wash himself in the lake. Rung, as it turned out, was alive just long enough to turn on his communicator. After a while, the Police Force (Blurr specifically) tracked down Quickstrike and, after a rough battle, managed to bring him in.

Quickstrike is now in police custody and awaits his interrogation.

Character Name: Chromedome
1st Example: Trapped in a closet
2nd Example: Conversations with Blurr
Activity Summary:

So who has needle fingers and is scheming with his ex? This guy! Chromedome arrived not long after Rewind, and had hoped that this new Cybertron meant that he wouldn't have to use his abilities here. He even went as far as to promise Rewind that he'll never use mnemosurgery again. This promise lasted maybe two weeks, when Chromedome voted yes for Tarn. When questioned by Prowl, Chromedome revealed that he wanted to set Tarn up somewhere he can do some good and then brainwash him when his back was turned. Prowl was pleased with this idea.

Later, through a series of confusing events, Prowl and Chromedome found themselves locked in a closet in the centre of Liege's temple. Rewind was furious, naturally, since he correctly assumed that Prowl and Chromedome were scheming, something they both denied to doing. During this, they caught the interest of Liege Maximo... oh dear.

Afterwards Chromedome chatted with Blurr and congratulated him on his capture of Quickstrike. Not long after he went and shared a drink with the speedster at the bar.

[neverputincharge]

Character Name: Bulkhead
1st Example: He's so getting tired of doing these
2nd Example: How about a dedicated construction crew?
Activity Summary:
- Continued to help build the JackhammerIrukandji
- Found that Ratchet went missing again, and got frustrated over it since it was the second time. Teamed up with Smokescreen and Blurr to look for him. They were unsuccessful.
- Got turned into a human for two weeks and had quite the experience, including being able to properly hug Miko. He also took care of Smokescreen who had been turned into a puppy for a time, and consulted Raf on how to take care of a dog.
- Got annoyed at Sideswipe wanting to start a war on Haven's Cybertron.
- Was surprised, and happy, when Cliffjumper arrived again. Though it was confusing since he was human at the time.
- Sniped at McCoy for not having his outline of human things earlier
- Got stuck in a closet with Blurr after they both switched back to their robot forms. It was broadcast to everybody and embarrassing as heck. He also talked back to Ultra Magnus who harped on Blurr about his seeming behavior
- Talked with Perceptor(FoC) about Synthetic Energon again. He still can't remember it.
- Agreed with Fracas that they should start beuilding roads around the Haven, and eventually went out to survey where the roads should go with Fracas and Skids. He's started working on the designs for the roads.
- Talked to Cliffjumper(Classics) about how the war started on his Cybertron, how Unicron and Primus battled on his Cybertron, how their version of the First 13(Forged) were created, and about his teams battle with Unicron on Earth.
- Asked on the link about if any thought had been put into putting together a dedicated construction crew. Also had a WTF moment when Knock Out told him Breakdown was dead back home.
- Answered Wheeljack's call for Wrecker recruits, and rejoined the Wreckers. Also spent time hanging out with Arcee before he went to try out.
- Rushed to Ultra Magnus' office with others, when Magnus was reported to have been found collapsed and unresponsive by Smokescreen.
- Supported Miko's joining the law committee, but didn't vote for her when it was called for, for the sake of not looking bias. Also told her he was proud of her standing up for herself when people doubted her. Also talked to Skids and Blackarachnia about why he thinks Miko should stay on.
- He was shocked and frustrated to find out that Quickstrike had murdered Rung, and worried over Blurr getting help since he was injured.
- Talked to Kagerou about loss, death and the ForstForged.
- Talked to Ventus about what he's experienced of people leaving and coming back.
- He was surprised and happy to see Jack Darby arrived, and got pissed off at Knock Out for bringing up Optimus' death again. To the point that he dented a wall, before going to cool off. Sorry Solus.

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[fun_police]

Character Name: Prowl
1st Example: Prowl has a good first impression of the Haven
2nd Example: Getting trapped in a closet with Chromedome
Activity Summary:
- Arrived at the end of the Species Swap event and was attacked by Sparkeater!Skids. Mid-Sparkeating he had reverted back to normal, allowing Prowl a chance to restrain him and take him to the Police HQ. Appeared to have attracted Liege's attention, but was incredibly sassy. Will probably regret being sassy later.
- Sasses Ultra Magnus about the organization of things because Prowl really likes order, and suggests giving him a position on the Police Force to assist him. He later has an unpleasant chat with Rung as part of acquiring his position. He makes sure to sass Rung as well.
- After being given his office to work with, Prowl began to organize the numbers they have, reviewing it over with Magnus. He suggested the construction of a Crime Lab to Foc!Perceptor.
- Prowl was confronted by Fort Max about his dirty business with Garrus-9, and was punched in the face by the ex-warden, among other things. The punch in the face is important because I'm keeping tabs.
- Sasses Skids for allowing Tarn onto their Law Committee. And by sass, I mean vitriolic verbal reaming. VOTES NO FOR TARN, NO FOR KIDS SO VERY HARD.
- Rung's Murder: Investigated the crime scene with Chromedome and Blurr, analyzing and gathering evidence which later led to Quickstrike's arrest by Blurr. Sasses Blurr after he suggests recording Quickstrike's interrogation to Rewind, but later agrees to it on the condition that Rewind signs a non-disclosure agreement.
- Prowl's organizational plan is passed down to McCrane to enact after Magnus' disappearance. Prowl assumes the role as head of their Criminal Investigations dept.
- Chromedome suggests attempting to take care of Tarn on their own, leading to Prowl begin to concoct a Xanatos Gambit for the greater good. They are somehow trapped in a closet in Liege's maze while discussing this. Prowl is red in the face from having to broadcast this embarrassing situation.
- Prowl seems to be more receptive to Liege after he makes contact with them in their predicament...
- Investigates the accidental death of Rocket with Albert after Shepard reports in the main comm.

---

Shockwave(TFP) has some activity, but not enough to make AC. I'm asking for an exemption this round due to a three-week hiatus in March/April, which made plotting out activities for multiple characters rather difficult.

Garrus will be idling out.

[re_alignedmods]

Exemption granted for Shockwave. Activity Check cleared for Prowl, thank you!

[rungout]

Character Name: Rung
1st Example: Therapist Sass vs Police Sass
2nd Example: Death Becomes Us
Activity Summary:
Things have been a bit of a Whirlwind for Rung as of late. After the species swap event, which was odd and sort of educational because being human wasn't completely horrible, Rung got to start off being back to normal by dealing with Prowl. Who's so totally one of his most favorite bots in all of Cybertron. Except not. He performed a psych evaluation on the other, as per accordance with the police force rules, and it ended with the pair sassing the hell out of one another before parting ways. Over the course of the next few weeks there was a lot of comforting others and dealing with disappearances, with a dash of confrontations with Tarn thrown in, just for fun. The loss of Whirl hit him harder than he expected it to, considering the pair hadn't really spoken in quite some time, but it was countered by the arrival of Perceptor--the one that he's familiar with. The good times didn't last long though because Rung had really just pissed off the wrong individuals as of late, leading to Quickstrike--on Tarn's order--killing him in his office. As with all individuals that die in Haven though, Rung returned though he didn't remember the events of his death completely. What he did remember, suddenly, were events from back home, much more than he remembered on his initial arrival into Haven. He's made quick work of getting back into the swing of things, so much so that he even got to sit down with Fort Max and talk with him for the first time since their bad session back when Rung first arrived.

And he might have gotten a little more sass after his death because he's really just not taking shit from anyone right now. He's looking at you Quickstrike.

Character Name: Smokescreen
1st Example: Puppy vs Dinosaur
2nd Example: Flirting with the enemy
Activity Summary:
After being turned into a puppy, Smokescreen found himself tiring pretty quickly, all the time, and since he couldn't really do much communicating, he slept. A lot. Including at Rung's office where he was just an adorable ball of fluff. Being turned back to normal was a pretty great thing, despite how much fun being a puppy had been, and he resumed his usual antics of bothering his notdads and flirting with Knock Out. Things got a bit more serious when Magnus was found passed out cold in his office by the rookie, Smokescreen refusing to leave his side the majority of the time that the other was knocked out. (The only ones he really spoke to during this time were Perceptor and Knock Out, with the occasional contact with his teammates. He's been rather distant from them though.) Magnus did, finally, wake up, much to Smokescreen's relief but good things never seem to last long in Haven. Being found by Justice not long after Magnus' revival, it became pretty apparent that something was up and it wasn't long after that it was confirmed that Magnus had disappeared.

Hey, at least Jack arrived not long after, right? That's at least better than someone else disappearing...

Character Name: Lyra Belacqua
1st Example: Coming through the gate
2nd Example: Wreckers say what?
Activity Summary:
Lyra arrived right around the start of the species swap event, which lead to some interesting situations for her, including running into someone that looked almost identical to her father though apparently he was really a giant robot? The whole thing was just weird but Wheeljack turned out to be an okay guy to be around (and by okay she really means great but shh this is Lyra and she can't praise others openly). She also took a quick liking to Ironhide who came to help her search for her Alethieometer in the junk pile, having something for gruff bots apparently. She's been keeping a pretty low profile for the most part, commenting on things here and there--especially when she comes across another human because it puts her at ease even if they don't have a daemon. Lyra has also taken it upon herself to sass Wheeljack whenever she can, so much so that she's apparently become an honorary Wrecker. (And got to ride in a cool car which was just bizarre.)

Character Name: Rocket Raccoon
1st Example: Krogan-coon
2nd Example: Wreckers--awyeah~
Activity Summary:
During the species swap event, Rocket had the oh so great pleasure of being turned into a Krogan while Wrex turned into a raccoon. It made things pretty damn interesting and, Rocket's not going to lie, it was fun being that big and strong. But it was also nice to be put back to normal at the end of it all. He's taken a shine to Commander Shepard, who reminds him a lot of one of his best friends and leader back home, Starlord, and has also sort of become mortal enemies with Shira. (Because she's just an angry feline that needs to be knocked around. B|) As of late Rocket has been pretty ticked off about the way the law committee and police force seem to be handling things, so much so that he's kind of just given up on them in favor of becoming a Wrecker because he's hoping at least things will get done if he's a Wrecker.

Oh, and, most recently he's been run over by the Mako because of Shepard's piss-poor driving skills. THANKS SHEP. B| So, yeah, Rocket's currently dead.

Character Name: Mordin Solus
1st Example: Exploring Caves
2nd Example: Seriously not liking the committees
Activity Summary:
Mordin arrived during the midst of the species swap event and oh did he love it. There were so many weird and interesting species about and, yes, he does have data on all of them based on what he observed with those he was interacting with. Outside of that he's been keeping a pretty low profile outside of the occasional science talk with Perceptor, the old Salarian not really sure what to do in Haven. He's completely out of his element, for the most part. He did have a nice time exploring some cave systems with Shira--who he's become rather fond of in that weird way Mordin has of growing fond of others--and, most recently, has expressed his sort of wariness about the way the new committee is going into effect. It reminds him far too much of the council back home.

And he really did want to study that raccoon that Shepard ran over but alas, he didn't want the police force getting upset with him. >:

Activity Check cleared for Rung, Lyra, and Rocket, thank you!

Smokescreen's first link is 4 comments short of the minimum length. Please provide a link to 4 additional comments by May 23rd, or he will fail the AC.

[giftofthemagi]

Character Name: White Knight
1st Example: Paranoia of the external sort
2nd Example: and the internal...
Activity Summary: White got turned into a unicorn and his life partner Six got turned into a winged dog. Instincts made them get a little bit playful and White got scratched. When they changed back, White freeeeaked and assumed he'd been infected with nanites and stayed shut away from his two housemates testing himself constantly as the results all came up negative.
He also still had conversations over the network and had a decent conversation with 4 about leadership and trust.


Character Name: Mephistofeline Satancat Kyubey
1st Example: let me play you the song of my people (8 comments)
2nd Example: RODIMUS NO (12 comments)
Activity Summary: Kyubey continues to simply sit back and watch while the world happens around him, though he's been reaching out with enthusiastic (albeit empty) encouragement as people display hope and desire. In the event his abilities are restored, he's slowly building up a pool of potential Magical Girl candidates to prepare to turn Cybertron into a battery for the universe itself.

[re_alignedmods]

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[sword_redemption]

Character Name: Drift
1st Example: Log with Wing, 8 comments
2nd Example: Network post
Activity Summary: Drift hasn't done much, honestly so I will keep this short so as not to waste your time.

* Went with Barricade to try to contain sparkeater!Skids. It likely didn't end well but he was trying to volunteer himself so no one else would get hurt.
* Having discovered the datapad in the caves, Wing and Drift tried to reveal what they'd found on it, only to be interrupted by Overclock. Barricade and Vandal offered their advice as resident ghost experts, who convinced Drift that it was because the datapad was disturbed from its resting place.
* Perceptor arrived and first Drift was wary since he'd messed things up so terribly with the other Perceptor. But they had drinks and angst and all was well.
* After noting that Wing was missing far longer than he should have been, Drift, Perceptor, and Captain Marvelous launched a rescue mission to find Wing and hopefully, by restoring the datapad, end the ghost invasion. In this rescue they ran into zombies, which were scary. Many things were stabbed and set on fire.
* He visited Wing in the medibay. Schmoop ensued.


Things Drift has tried but failed:
*Tried to convince Prowl and Pharma that he had actually seen ghosts/zombies
* Tried to convince McCrane that having a sociopath on the Law Committee was a bit like having Libya on the Human Rights Committee in the UN.
*Tried to convince Flonne that Laharl was kind of a jerk
*Tried to convince Smokescreen that going after ghosts by himself was a bad idea
* When people started getting turned into humans, Drift tried to give advice about how to survive as a human. It mostly boiled down to 'don't look in your pants'.
* Tried to convince Shaoshao he's not a crossdressing pervert.
* Tried to talk to Alpha Trion and Megatronus about Overclock and the others.

Character Name: Commander Shepard
1st Example: Anyone want a mobile lighthouse?
2nd Example: After realizing she might be stuck here, Shep asks what she should do with herself.
3rd Example: As a soldier, she's used to killing people, but never on accident.
Activity Summary: Shep still isn't accepting her life here completely. She spends her days driving around in the Mako exploring the place and its outskirts or rooting through the junk pile for things she can use or hand off to other people to use.

[re_alignedmods]

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[namesnotprowl]

Character Name: Barricade
1st Example: Barrikitty wants ur cheezburger
2nd Example: Out for a midnight drive
Activity Summary: Barricade was a cat! He was terrible at being a cat, but luckily Alpha Trion found him and let him stay in the cat room. Except for when he escaped and clawed the bejeezus out of Bumblebee's face. Totally worth being a cat for. Knock Out was able to ply him into helping build a shiny new clinic by scritching behind his ears. When he got back to being not a cat he started helping to get said clinic build and running. One night while working on plans, he ended up having a tense chat with Mirage about sleeplessness and loss... and then they had a car dance. And he made a bet with Mirage that he couldn't find a law about not impersonating police cars. Someday, they will figure out if they hate each other or secretly love each other. He talked with Prowl about letting Skids go, and was very intrigued with the cop... if only to compare him with the one Barricade knew. He offered to be the medic for the Wreckers as well, and offered to teach Skids one of his unique skills. Currently he is distressed about the zombies that Wing and Drift found. Because ZOMBIES!!! And he's trying to convince Kagerou to stop angsting about the First Forged... on the grounds that the First Forged aren't gods. Well, at least he's using his dislike of powerful beings named 'Prime' for good?

Character Name: Fracas
1st Example: Being human is weird
2nd Example: You know what would be awesome? ROADS!
Activity Summary: Fracas spent a long while as a human. He found it horrible and traumatizing and everyone kept asking about his eye. The only one that offered to fix it was McCoy though, which he found sweet. He promised to repay the doctor for chloroforming calming him down when he first changed. After that was over and he got back to normal, he suggested that they could really use some roads. He was very thoughtful in how he presented it too, and a lot of people agreed it would be good! Including Bulkhead, who he's kind of starting to warm up to. He even got a shout-out from Skids for his suggestion and was asked to help with surveying and construction. he happily agreed to it. He also had a couple talks with both Knock Out and Thundercracker and has been contemplating a change of paint... and maybe a change of format. Which also brought up the subject of him thinking that airframes are really really pretty. Also, Knock Out convinced him to spy on Prowl. This will in no way end horribly for him, clearly.

Character Name: Swoop
1st Example: You're an actual dinosaur? No fair!
2nd Example: Swoop am Wrecker (everyone should flee)!
Activity Summary: Swoop met Megatronus and wasn't really impressed, and was adopted by Grimlock. Yay! He also informed Sideswipe that his war was stupid and it should stay far away from him. He awaits the day he can tell Sideswipe 'me told you so'. Not long after, everyone started turning into other things! ... Except for Swoop. Half of the other people he knew turned into real dinosaurs and he was jelly. So, so jelly. But that was okay with him eventually, because he met Wheeljack and got into a fight with him! It was just a sparring fight, though, so that he could become a Wrecker. Yay! Since then, he has been trying to find Grimlock because he disappeared. He will give up on his best friend being around in approximately never.

Strelok was apped in the most recent cycle.

Activity Check cleared, thank you!

[rednotbluethx]

Character Name: Ambulon
1st Example: OH NO! HUMAN COOTIES
2nd Example: OFF TO SOLUS'S PLACE

Activity Summary: Ambulon suffered from the virus that suddenly came around and started changing people's species like a big jerk. As a human, he suffered from a broken nose, almost a concussion, multiple bruises/owies, a massive allergic reaction to dogs, and then an ugly Tarn flu that probably would have killed him had he not returned to normal. Bonus fun was surviving a naked encounter girly fight with a transformed (HA) Knock Out and being a little tiffy with Liege.

After things started to settle, Ambulon went back to his normal, boring routine for a bit before taking the plunge to see Solus Prime about getting a new alt mode. That's currently still ongoing, but hey! Ambulon's hoping for the best. Beyond that, he visited the ex-husband Pharma, is really kind of nervous Tarn may get on the LC, helped Wing out after his party with the zombie ghosts, and adopted Whirl's cat, Splat.

Character Name: Frenzy
1st Example: Frenzilla!
2nd Example: painting the city a variety of colors! literally!

Activity Summary: Since the last AC, Frenzy also succumbed to the species swap virus and turned into a Godzilla-esque kaiju. He spent his time rampaging through various parts of the Haven, doing mostly the same shit he does everyday, which is making a nuisance of himself instead of anything too serious. Some of the encounters were hostile (such as with Whirl and almost human!Blackarachnia) and some were pretty tame (such as with sparkeater!Skids and cat!Barricade). After it was all over with, he felt much better.

Though that didn't last long as Frenzy finally received punishment for killing Four from Megatronus. It was worth it, though, because it got the police and all the concerned citizens ruffled and angry and upset. This has resulted in his becoming the doll's slave for a week or so. It hasn't been fun. But he still got to cause some mischief with the second example above as well as visit Tarn, so it hasn't been too lame.

Also, he's on the law committee. Don't tell him otherwise, okay.

Character Name: Leonard McCoy
1st Example: Ya'll need help
2nd Example: NO KIDS ALLOWED + NO RIDING BIKES WITHOUT HELMETS - hope these work

Activity Summary: McCoy's mostly been meddling about in other people's posts and stuff, to be honest. He needs to get out more! But he is actively socializing. During the species swap event, McCoy provided as much medical help and guidance as possible to the new humans and doing what he could for non-humans alongside Knock Out. He's been speaking to residents about anything new, and is doing his best to keep the kids from getting on the law committee. He's mostly focused on work, keeping people safe, and also fretting over all the youngsters in the Haven. So while McCoy's not exactly out and about, he has been doing his best to remain on top of the news and always be aware of his surroundings.

[originaldragoon]

Character Name: Rose
1st Example: Oh crap, it's a dragon!
2nd Example: Being a dragon is getting old
Activity Summary:
- Rose got turned into a dragon when the residence of Haven where turned into other species. As a result, she briefly lost her self control thanks to the natural instincts that came along with being a dragon.
- She eventually calmed down, and hid in the mountains around Liege Maximo's temple to keep herself from giving into those instincts.
- This did result in her meeting Maximo for the first time, in which she allowed him to scan and take samples of her dragon form, before being turned back into a human being. The thread is possibly still going, so she will probably also tell him what she knows about dragons and the dragoons of her world, if the conversation stirs in that direction.
- Later, Rose was assigned to be in the Defense group of the Law Committee.


Character Name: Ravage
1st Example: Who's on First?
2nd Example: Mad kitty / Playful kitty Hope it's okay to split these...
Activity Summary:
- Ravage got turned into a human, and was stuck at one of the higher parts of Nexus's temple, and the police force had to come get him.
- He also came to the conclusion that hands were weird, and so was walking on just two legs.
- Also drove Knock Out crazy when he tried to explain what "IDK" means.
- Later, when he finally was turned back to his usual robo jaguar, Ravage got into a fight with Frenzy, after he got hit with a paint filled balloon and the other bot started insulting his friends.

Character Name: Blurr
1st Example: Post 1
2nd Example: Post 2
Activity Summary:

-During the species swap he got stuck into a room with Bulkhead once they got back to human.
-He looked everywhere trying to find Soudnwave after he disappeared. No luck.
-Talked to preceptor abut pragmatist and lack of emotions, confusing the hell out of the other bot. Blurr tried to help Mirage when he couldn’t sleep and talked with Cliffjumper about the red bot joining the Wreckers and its implications.
-Hired Dead End as a bartender for the Haven’s hub bar and sked him to teach him how to be a better bartender. Blurr only works at the bar a few nights a week, he also takes care of the Habitation Wing and the Pantry. He’s looking for help, though, because he can’t do all that at once.
-Investigated Rung’s dead with the rest of the Police force and finally they managed to catch Quickstrike. That started a fight between Prowl, Rewind and him about the procedure to follow during the interrogatory.
-Voted against Tarn getting into the law committee and then suggested to Skids an alternative vote system that could be fairer for the minorities.
-Looked everywhere for Ultra Magnus, First aid and Saber when they disappeared, again, he found nothing.


Character Name:Knock Out

-Started a partnership with Barriace for the new clinic, reorganized the medbay design, knocked down some walls and the new medbay is almost all set.
-Designed the future race track, but so far they have not enough constructors/materials to build it.
--Fixed Albert missing hand and also upgrade it so it could turn into a large range weapon. Albert now owns him a favor. that will end so well
-Befriended Flonne after realizing how gullible she is and offered her a job in the clinic as his secretary/receptionist.
-Checked on Dead End when Rung died and then on Rung when he was back from the dead.
-He voted not to let Mike in the Law Committee. He also harassed her, Raf and Jack in the same week so much that Bulkhead wanted to kill him.

[dirge]

Character Name: Dirge
1st Example: ITS EVERY COLOR
2nd Example: DELICIOUS GEAR DEER
Activity Summary:

Dirge was turned into a human for the species swap event, upon which he predictably ate too much and threw up. Back in robot form, he tried to get Saber to let him guard the pantry but she wasn't stupid so... yeah. Fortunately, Four was given Frenzy as a slave and was asking for suggestions on how to use him. Dirge's suggestion was to have Frenzy be his bring him food. Four agreed! Then Dirge found Tarn in the park feeding the pet and wanted to be fed too. Log isn't finished yet but it looks like Dirge might to get to eat a spark. >:3 Later, he talked with Quickstrike in jail, betting him that he could kill someone without getting caught.

All in all- a typically ridiculous and stupid time was had. Because Dirge.

[happyduckbutt]

Character Name: Ventus
1st Example: Thread - Ven and Liege
2nd Example: Thread - Ven and Rung
Activity Summary: (General thread listing for Ven) So with the Lambda pulling tricksys on everyone, naturally Ven wanted to do whatever he could to help, although just how was beyond him. He inadvertently drew the attention of Liege Maximo when he brought up his armor and its abilities, obliging the First Forged in a demonstration. While things had gone back to normal for Haven and things relatively quiet, the boy settled into more mundane tasks like taking care of the quickly multiplying brood of chickens. He was distraught to find out that yet another of his friends had been killed, and while it was a relief that Rung returned just as Kagerou, it still brought about some questions- and concerns. This was doubled by the recent disappearance of Saber, and upon hearing that others had also gone missing from the world, led Ventus to wonder about what became of ones memories once they were sent home.

Character Name: R2-D2
1st Example: Post - In which Artoo finds out he's not in Kansas anymore.
2nd Example: Joint Post - In which Artoo finds that their new situation hasn't affected Threepio's circuits any.
(Although if that one doesn't count, then here's a thread with Threepio)
Activity Summary: Discombobulated from a sudden and unexpected trip off the Death Star, Artoo naturally was in a panic upon arrival, shocking a poor Acolyte in the face and then falling off the platform to make for a wonderful welcome entrance. He'd since then found out that he wasn't alone- there were many strange droids aside from humans. It was a relief to find a familiar face at least, and shortly upon finding out that Threepio was also present in this empty world, the astromech made way to find him and has been doing his best to keep him out of trouble ever since. Heh.

Character Name: Hot Rod
1st Example: RECENTLY ACCEPTED BUT HERE, HAVE HIS RE-INTRO LINK ANYWAY
Activity Summary: After waking up from some horrible nightmare (?) Hot Rod found out that he hadn't been completely dreaming after all. While things aren't as crazy and tense as the last time, he's still trying to figure out what all he's supposed to be doing here now that he's...back. Not to mention why...

Activity Summary: While failing to reconnect to Master Luke and the gang on the Death Star, Threepio finds out he is far from...whatever he can call home. Thankfully, he doesn't have to weather the storm alone; although grateful he has Artoo to keep him company, he still has to find his bearings around this planet and its inhabitants.

[lovethathatch]

Character Name: Blitzwing (TFA)
1st Example: Awkward dog is awkward around pretty naked ladies. Also Fracas.
2nd Example: Does the doggy want to eat the human Blurr? Yes he does!
Activity Summary: In the species swap event, Blitzwing ended up transformed into a giant dog. Specifically, a giant three-headed dog! He was discovered upon by a still-robot Knock Out, who took him to the Pantry to get organic food, and Dirge, who demanded a ride. Blitzwing promptly told him off.
Knock Out eventually broadcasted his own swap into a human form, and Blitzwing proved to be a surprisingly domesticated Cerberus, letting the medic actually pet him when they met up in-person. Later, he attacked Blurr in a fit of boredom.
After the event ended and he found himself back to normal, he took some time to laugh at Blurr and Bulkhead when they got trapped in a pantry, and then got bored again and started practicing his Triple-Changer transformations while firing off his cannons outside the Nexic Temple, where he was startled by a ghost.

Character Name: Veser Amaker Hatch
1st Example: This kid doesn't shut up.
2nd Example: Dirge stahp that's gross. / I ain't afraid of no ghosts.
Activity Summary: Veser arrived during the species swap event, and was overly excited to realize he was on a different planet! After expressing as much, he started asking for people back from his world, and got a whole lot of nothing. However, he did get into a tiff with Quickstrike, ogled a human Knock Out, and got a free ride-tour of the Haven in a power shovel, courtesy of Power Joe.
The very next thing he got to see was Dirge puking up rainbows after a candy binge. That wasn't so fun.
He was quiet for a long time until Drift broadcasted his findings, and used this as an opportunity to learn even more about this place he'd ended up in. Later, he agreed to go with Smokescreen on a ghost-hunting expedition after a small, painful flashback of his run-in with a ghost back home.

[aerospacecommander]

Character Name: Starscream
1st Example: Jetfire is slow
2nd Example: Law committee talks
Activity Summary:
- Starscream is slowly trying to gain acceptance among the Law Committee so that he can obtain power and eventually take over it.
- He visited space with Jetfire while stuffed in his cockpit.
- And threatened Jetfire not to accept anything from Liege.
- Speaking of Liege he also told Megatronus on his blackmail attempt but is over all going to play the part.
- Mostly he's trying to push for law things because everyone should listen to him.

Character Name: Catwoman
1st Example: Mirage has a nice voice yo.
2nd Example: Chatting with Saber / Men always get lost. / She likes cats did you know
Activity Summary:
- She's been sneaking around and flirting with people mostly. But aside from complaining with Saber about how they need easier ways to travel she hasn't done much this time.

Character Name: Laharl
1st Example: Unicron is a unicorn.
2nd Example: WHO DARED TO KILL LAHARL??
Activity Summary:
- He accused White of being Unicron. (Because he was currently a unicorn.)
- He's mostly trying to push his weight around and having everyone roll their eyes at him because he's a kid. Sorta.

Character Name: Chessur
1st Example: Two crazy animals talk / And a vehicon / And poor Glit.
2nd Example: I know that Nri will yell at me for this. I'm sorry.
Activity Summary:
- Chessur has only popped up and completely freaked out several people by being a floating grin and cat head.

[doctordon]

Character Name: Don Dogoier
1st Example: Remember that guy you hate? I'm just like him now!
2nd Example: Don decides to bother his FirstForged with plans to stay a monster.
Activity Summary: Don was turned into one of a species of sociopathic aliens, one of whom was the nemesis to his captain, Marvelous. Though he found it impossible to care about Marvelous' feelings about this, and found it entertaining to mock and flirt with the various other transformed denizens of the planet, he still kept to himself and didn't cause any real trouble. His new form was armored, strong enough to withstand a point-blank gunshot, and he wanted to keep it. So he ventured to Solus Prime's temple to ask her to keep him that way himself. Frustrated and angered, she used him as an opportunity to test out her cure. He was so humiliated after being turned back that he spent several weeks not venturing off the ship, though this was partly to fix the sometimes dangerous overclocks he'd implemented on the ship.

The Galley, the communal eatery that he is responsible for, has now opened. He's been organizing the place and soon plans on giving cooking lessons. He and Marvelous also recently had Cody over for a good old-fashioned weird pirates and kid family dinner. Marvelous has been pressing him to try to work on their ship, to get them off the planet. Things are shaping up, thanks to a few lucky finds at the junk pile, and he should be able to get the Galleon off-planet for at least a short voyage at some point soon. (Depending, of course, on mod approval.)

[showboater]

Character Name: Captain Marvelous
1st Example: Dammit Don stop being an alien
2nd Example: Dammit zombies stop being zombies
Activity Summary: Marvelous has spent the last two months really, really irritated. First Don was a sociopathic alien who took special pleasure out of not catering to any of his feelings, which was new and extremely unpleasant, and then he got turned into a giant robot. After rebuffing Don's attempts to overhaul his internal systems and asking Megatronus (fruitlessly) about getting Don turned back, he spent the rest of the next month mostly driving around Haven. He also spoke to Liege Maximo about helping out with his space plans, though that's been back-burnered while he waits for Don's word on the ship's status.

Then came last month! Drift's frankly ominous Link post about going to find Wing pinged Marvelous' sense of adventure (and also of 'impulses that might get you killed') and he, Drift, and Perceptor went off to find Wing! Marvelous eventually discovered Wing's unconscious body after a whole bunch of fun zombie-hunting, which has solidified Marvelous' opinion that not mapping out the rest of the planet is a mistake. He's currently gearing up to do just that.

Character Name:
1st Example: Comparing life stories!
2nd Example: Let's talk about those totally-not-ghosts
Activity Summary: Other than the time he spent changed into a human (which, to the surprised of some of the other affected, he enjoyed a lot), Skyfire has been in 'gathering information' mode. Some of it is mostly of personal interest; for example, he's had a long talk with Jetfire comparing their respective pasts and their worlds in general, and he's looking into the plant samples that Jetfire brought from his trip to space. But he's also been paying attention to the Law Committee, and actively tried to find more information about the ghosts once he saw a few of them. And on a less nerdy note, he's gone to the bar at least once.

[eternallove]

Character Name: Flonne
1st Example: The first meeting of a new arrival
2nd Example: Prowl will be a friend and Knock Out should not be allowed to tell gullible idiots things regarding dating.
Extra Example 1: Knock Out gains a cheerleader and receptionist/nurse when he makes his new clinic
Extra Example 2: Skywarp and her talk about ghosts and then she annoys him to hang up on her due to her friendship speeches
Activity Summary:
Aside from basic things an organic has to do to survive and get use to living in a world made for giant robots, she's basically roaming about and annoying anyone that holds stills long enough for her to unleash her personality on. Along the way she's become a bit of an amusing mascot/entertainment for Knock Out and thus somehow landed herself a promise of future employment in the clinic when it goes live. Mostly due to said entertainment value as well as her claims of being able to use healing magic. How much more of a value she may have towards him is debatable until she can use those abilities and if she gets a chance to use basic offensive magic where Knock Out can see it.

She is also now on a quest to make Prowl smile and prove that he can have friends and such due to Knock Out being the first one to explain Autobots and Decepticons to her in a way. So she currently thinks all Autobots are grumpy and need help finding love and friendship. There's also a bit of a soap opera due to her believing Knock Out that she should date Laharl due to him being her special friend and her not fully realizing that dating is usually just an activity for those who are romantically seeing one another as she doesn't think that way and Laharl is likely still in the cooties stage in a way. Being over a thousand years old doesn't mean much in regards to maturity with Angels/Demons/Fallen Angels so they're still pretty much not fully in the hormone filled years yet. Which means if Knock Out keeps goading them in this or gets helpers this could be hilarious as it spirals out.

Tarn

[songofmypeople]

1st Example: Link post, 2013-04-01, 20+ comments
2nd Example: Log post, 2013-04-20, 7+ comments
Activity Summary: Mods, This got long, just read the bit encased by Blue

So if you meet me, have some courtesy:
For those of you playing along at home, here's what Tarn was up to last AC (mostly keeping track for my benefit):
Tarn remains a model citizen by:
- Having a completely nonviolent phone conversation with Fort. Max. who continues to have temper problems.
- Agreeing to host a playdate with Four, enlisting her help in constructing (Ambulon's weird fetish toy) tiny model car (since Tarn's sausage fingers couldn't even get the bitty box open and he really supports fostering creativity among young minds.
- Later that day he bonds with Frenzy -- and continues to foster creativity among our resident little shit's budding mind in the form of educational tutorials on more precise method of torture on a miniscule scale. See: letting Frenzy murder Four.
- During the infestation event TFP Shockwave was mobbed by monsters. Tarn helped rescue the damsel and fellow Decipticon through teamwork and excessive demonstrations of violence.
- Tarn also met Megatronus for the first time, refused his boon (no strings attached; yeah right), and came along to fight monsters in the battle convoy as a competent support unit because he's all about teamwork! (in order to better sit back and observe people's threat prowess (see: Megatronus) and ignoring the way his supposed phase-sixer level power might help the group. But hey, this wasn't HIS battle to fight.)

Start!
Have some sympathy, have some taste:
Here's what Tarn did this active AC round:
He continues to be completely harmless, and nothing but a good example of why Autobots are both hysterical and liable to vomit baseless propaganda by:
- Enjoying the gentlemanly sport of hunting live game instead of people (you're welcome) and very slowly making a dent into one of the few practically naturally occurring fauna that exists on Cybertron while indulging in some unnecessary animal abuse and feeding both Dirge and the Pet geardeer sparks.
- For two weeks that he doesn't remember, Tarn was the influenza virus.
- Instead of getting angry and then murdering everyone after being not so wrongly accused of murder, Tarn simply asked for an apology. He wasn't sure the Haven really got the irony there. But when Rung (who owed him twice over) didn't apologise, the guy had an accident. Funny how these things work, isn't it? It's almost ... poetic.
- Tarn privately encouraged Quickstrike to follow his dreams when the little guy said he was bored, because he believes in that sort of thing! And then Rung died, and Quickstrike knew better to rat on Tarn's suggestion of a victim.
- Clearly the Autobots' (and co's) fear of him would be cute if it wasn't so pathetic.
Okay you can stop now!

Use all your well-learned politesse:
Other points of note for this round:
- DJD Territory has grown somewhat since the last time we checked. It's now 3 neighbourhoods large (edging onto a 4th) and is being patrolled by some combination of a zombie turbofox, tiny cassette saboteur, greedy cloned harrier jet, and occasionally Tarn himself. If drones were sent to poke around while he was out (being influenza) when that event ended, so did data from the drones.
- Tarn still doesn't have his wiki-reader fancy coaster yet.
- His collection of things now includes around 20 precision rifles that he's discovered are variable states of useless. One of them shot spaghetti. Thanks, Lamba.
- Tarn's gathered up a group of 'special' minions in the forms of: Frenzy, Dirge, Quickstrike, Crow, and probably Four. He also found himself on the Law Committee, and then promptly in the midst of being voted off. None of the above has been cause enough to emote; Tarn has bigger fish to fry, though the majority of the Haven's inability to grasp the notion of politics is kind of sad. But then you look around and realise there are no opera houses, and you see this being symptomatic of a larger problem.

Or I'll lay your soul to waste:
First Forged Interactions last round: Met Megatronus. Not really impressed or otherwise threatened by the guy. His dealing with Frenzy re: Four's murder was hardly harsh. Tarn wonders if that's because Megatronus is playing favourites with his glyphed, or if that's because Four can't really be murdered since she isn't actually a person (see:"toy" in the dictionary).
First Forged Interactions this round: None. He's still waiting to see what the supposed "supernatural" FFs are going to do in response to the murder of REAL people (since they're apparently opposed). To avoid the lurking variable problem of last time, he's had Rung killed (a real person) by Quickstrike (still one of Megatronus's). The murder was close to home in Prima's temple, and Tarn's hoping to see the boss god get angry and do something cool (smiting would be appropriate). So far Prima has remained unresponsive re: the cool factor, since his feathers weren't ruffled when Driller smashed up some of his city.

Not for the first time Tarn is wondering if the FF deal is in fact a sham, and he can escalate his interest in murder sans real penalty. He still spends a majority of his time daydreaming how to remove the FF permanently from the picture too.

[sixthdeadliest]

Character Name: Six
1st Example: Six takes a young death god under his wing.
2nd Example: Kicking Knight's rear into gear.
Activity Summary: Six has largely continued to investigate and keep an eye on things though he did decide to take Death the Kid under his proverbial wing. When he was temporarily shape-changed, he even performed aerial surveillance to get a better map in his head. However, his control slipped while "playing" with Knight in unicorn form, too caught up in an emotion he was ill-prepared for: joy. He ended up breaking Knight's skin, possibly infecting him with nanites. Once back to normal, he had to break Knight's obsessive loop of testing and re-testing himself for nanites.

Once that was done and his partner was once again functioning as normally as possible, he took stock of the number of organics and the rather finite number of supplies. He had no interest in politics, rather going straight to the point as he voiced the concern over the network and started devising more permanent means of survival.
