ACTIVITY CHECK
Actions have consequences.
You’ll be required to link a minimum of two (2) threads, as well as a brief summary of what your character’s been up to. No comment count required! Regarding summaries, a few lines are perfectly fine! We’re mostly looking for clues in order to adequately track your character’s ambitions/intentions/deeds so that we can 1. dole out suitable consequences/curses/boons/etc (immediately following AC or at random), and 2. observe their evolution until the inevitable end. Will it be Ascension, or annihilation?
We realize that this can be extremely subjective as far as good and evil go, so to keep things simple, we'll have to adjust the consequences based on the character's overall intent. You'll be notified ICly or OOcly as soon as they come into effect (which might not necessarily happen right after AC or every round), depending on the action and what the outcome entails. Examples of consequences include, but are absolutely not limited to: a sojourn in jail, physical transformations, valuable artifacts, a harrowing, a permanent Spark, a power fully restored, a loss of any kind, privileges, information, etc. Consequences may not be doled out every time, but keep in mind that every action leads your character closer to Oblivium regardless, or Ascension. We'll keep track.
Regarding threads, we accept links from TDMs, inboxes, logs, the netherwork, and Soulidarity. You may submit threads from up to two months prior to the current month if you're still tagging them, but you can’t submit the same thread twice.
Subthreads from a top-level or a catch-all log can be used as separate proofs for AC! As for bonuses, we'll be limiting submissions of subthreads to one (1) per round.
Additionally, we simply ask that you don’t exclusively tag inboxes and/or castmates, repeatedly submit network-style comment spam, or drop your threads as soon as you pass AC. If a consistent pattern occurs, we’ll reach out to the player and discuss with them before issuing a warning.
A warning is cleared after you’ve successfully passed AC two months in a row.
If extenuating circumstances prevent you from playing or notifying us in time, a retroactive hiatus will be available to you once every 6 months. Otherwise, to avoid a warning, please notify us at least one week before the end of the month!
Regarding bonuses, which are an optional perk, we accept links from TDMs, inboxes, logs, and the netherwork. Please note that each thread must have at least 8 comments from you, and can’t be threads you’ve submitted for AC. Each bonus thread equals 5 points. You may also submit threads from up to two months prior to the current month if you're still tagging them, but you can’t submit the same thread twice. You can collect your points and spend them whenever you wish, and no more than one reward per round will be granted.

REWARDS
► Trinket = 15 points
► Spark = 25 points
► Artifact = 30 points
► Boon = 40 points
A boon is, essentially, a (reasonable!) wish granted or an item requested from home! A trinket is much lesser than an artifact in power, and would also have to eventually be soul-forged in order to last.

LAWS
VINCENT VALENTINE
no subject
after arriving in the shadowlands, he started an investigation into the mausoleum as well as accepted a commission from hale's chief healer to help him gather scaleberries in exchange for coins. he ran into cloud during one of his traipses, saving the kid from a poisonous bite with the scaleberries he'd collected. unfortunately, he quickly realized that cloud didn't recognize him. he is now struggling in terms of how to interact and watch over a friend who has no memory of him.
when he was alerted to the trouble in serene, he left his makeshift homestead in stygia to offer assistance in oakwoods. he confronted puck with dimitri, but in a bad turn of luck, puck dropped the lantern and it shattered. dimitri offered some of his blood to fix it and vincent helped him back out of the woods to hand over the lantern to myrtille. at the festival, vincent ran into cloud once again and, despite not helping himself to any of the food, he learned that some of them have peculiar effects.
during the warding ritual, vincent chased after the headless horseman but he wasn't able to catch up with it before it vanished into the tempest. he returned to the chaos it left behind to investigate and found the sheets of paper with a white scorpion painted on them. he compared his findings with joel. once that wrapped up, he continued to stay in stygia, picking up commissions to earn enough money to purchase more weapons. meanwhile, he is still watching over cloud, albeit afar.

NOTE
While there are no numerical requirements regarding activity, we feel it's important to try and be as fair as possible to other players and potential applicants. It's the reason why we aim to ensure that characters demonstrate active engagement in the game, and by that, we don't mean that you need to be all over the place all the time. You don't! Despite its themes, Nightfell is meant to keep an easy-going ambience where fun is a top priority, but a minimum of activity is expected. What this means, essentially, is that AC summaries that consist mostly of handwaved actions rather than actual written play don't qualify as active engagement, and neither does recurring absence.
This does NOT constitute an official warning. This mostly serves as a reminder, and we hope to see your character a little more engaged next check-in!

for future ref, should i be linking my current month's threads in the summary as proof? links were mentioned as optional and only meant to gain points which is why i thought it would be ok to use completed threads over slower, more ongoing ones.
but i can keep it in mind going forward if that isn't the case. thank you for the speedy response, mods!

GRIMMJOW JAEGERJAQUEZ
no subject
when he first arrived in the shadowlands, he almost instantaneously started to pick fights with people (like yoru, for example). he fortunately ran into ichigo not too long after who'd convinced him to go to stygia with him. but before they went, he accidentally got soulbonded to the boy when he was begrudgingly forced to borrow a t-shirt to hide the giant hole in his abdomen. so now he's stuck feeling sad and other gross human emotions because ichigo seems to be going through some shit. he hasn't bothered to ask.
he created a soulidarity, which eventually led into a genuine fight with ichigo. he got his ass beat. they had a serious conversation after the fact and grimmjow promised that he won't eat and/or kill any of the restless. he also made plans to fight both felix and set.
grimmjow has mostly been staying in the shadowlands with ichigo, but when he received the alert from serene, he decided to travel to oakwoods since he was bored and wanted to see what fun things will await him there. he was pleased to find a bunch of harpies (which he ate) and some dumb kid named puck who had a lantern. he was more interested in joonghyuk though, so he got into a fight with him. it didn't end satisfactorily because puck got in the way. later on, he met aris who was enjoying a meal at the campsite.
at the festival, grimmjow tried one of the garblenuts with jonas. he got into an extremely destructive (and unfortunately short-lived) fight with sasuke at the harvest hunt, which they both got in trouble for. he also chased after the headless horseman with naruto after it appeared during the warding ritual. to say the least, he didn't manage to catch up to it.
he hasn't bothered to pick up any commissions since what is money even.

talkyell some sense into ichigo though so now the boy's fine. at some point, he did attempt to find ichigo a date with steve's help but it wasn't a very fruitful endeavor. he also got the bright idea to eat a reaper from @jjang which he has yet to do (just wait till next month, guys) because he got his ass thrown into jail. he spent his time there tussling with sasuke and bickering with joonghyuk. during his jailbreak, he took the opportunity to beat up jugram but got all the injuries dealt inflicted back on him. it's okay though because he now knows some of the quincy's abilities so it was #worthit. he hasn't really done much since if you don't count picking a fight with childe while the poor guy was trying to fish and winning. he did swap numbers with him (first time taking the initiative with this!!!) and even left with a bucket of fish to take home to feed his human. :') also what sussy sus man??? he must have missed him while killing a bunch of guards. just a bunch. so many.AC Links: 1 | 2
