◎ Overview

When submitting your Activity Check, please keep in mind the following:

◎ A minimum of two threads with a brief summary for each thread is required.

◎ While there's no minimum comment count, Abraxas is a plot-centered game that requires a degree of thread progression. We expect threads to contain reasonable interactivity with other players. We may request supplementary proofs if interactivity is insufficient. For example, one reply to each proof posted late in the month, or early in the month then dropped, would not be enough. Previous activity patterns will be taken into account, as well.

◎ Backdated threads (from the previous month only) are acceptable, but the comments linked as proofs must take place during the current month. Although both proofs can be backdated, you're encouraged to submit at least one thread started in the current month whenever possible.

◎ TDM threads, network threads, and inbox threads are acceptable, but must not make up the total of both proofs (i.e. both proofs can't consist of only TDM threads). Additionally, at least one proof should be a log thread. Both proofs cannot be network-style comment spam.

◎ All players are expected to reply, including if you've submitted a hiatus. If you have extenuating circumstances that prevent you from posting your AC, you may have another player comment with a proxy submission on your behalf.

To familiarize yourself with our full activity rules, be sure to review the Activity Requirements section on the FAQ. If you have extenuating circumstances that've limited your ability to thread, please contact us.

◎ Forms

Fill out the appropriate form by the deadline to stay in the game! Failure to reply will count as idling out.

Remember that you do not need to submit a formal hiatus to use your Hiatus Pass. You can submit the Hiatus Pass form directly on this month's post if needed.

Player Name: Addy
Character Name: Jack Frost
Thread 1 Link + Summary: top level at the Solvunn welcome log. Jack joins the party and gets to meet the locals, make some popsicles, and play a prank.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: top level at Event #21. Helping around Solvunn with the decorations, enjoying the festivities in Nocwich, looking for the missing kids in Solvunn, and dealing with his hauntings.

Power or physical gain: Horizon - Extremely Basic Heat Resistance. I'm not looking to get rid of his weakness completely, mind you. Just to give him a slightly upgrade that will allow him to stand near bonfires and torches (which Solvunn has lots of!) without wanting to instantly die. :') This will allow him to be outside when summer comes, too, since he can't escape to the opposite hemisphere here like he did at home. He'll have to stick to the shade if he wants to stay out more than a few hours, and his power won't be as strong under the sun.

Notable actions: Jack can be seen flying between settlements a lot, just to explore or because one of the jobs he's taken is doing deliveries. He's also helping the fishermen by using his wind on the sails or scaring off pirates/sea creatures. His main thing has been babysitting the kids, who follow him all over the place. There were ice slides at some point. He's even taught them to make piñatas! He's introduced Solvunn to popsicles, also he and Eddie painted a mural on a wall in Ed's inn. He's helped around with the festivity decorations and used the war paint on his face the whole time, he's also helped to look for missing kids. In Nocwich, he's bothered a few people with minor pranks. No major damage, but there was an ice slide here as well (he got rid of it as soon as he was done trolling Iris).

Power or physical gain: Horizon/Event - N/A
Notable actions: Uh, mostly the above (mask-stealing goat gifts and having a seizure in public)! Which are probably murmur-worthy. Will be helping out around Eifstide for harvesty stuff as well as wards, and darting off to Nocwich, but somehow that's taken me all month to post. Apologies!

[righteously]

Player Name: Em

Character Name: Dean Winchester
Thread 1 Link + Summary: one - Dean and Lucy experience the great American pastime of drinking.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: two - a catch-up with Rowena.
Notable actions: Has made it a personal mission to handle hauntings across the whole damn city since it all first started, aka he's been serving private citizens and small businesses, perhaps garnering some small amount of word-of-mouth reputation as "that ghostbuster(?) guy" by the end of October because he keeps calling himself a ghostbuster to people who do not get the reference or that it's a joke. People who call him that seem slightly confused and faintly dubious about the term but he keeps doubling down on it, so... you know.

He's also totally just started wearing those flannel shirts over his otherwise normal Cadens clothes. Maybe it'll... catch on.... (please)

Character Name: Jack Townsend
Thread 1 Link + Summary: one - with Travis; rip in peace, Jerry.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: two - emotionally supporting Cassian as best he can.
Notable actions: Has been sleepwalking all over the castle again, and Weird Shit seems to happen in his vicinity.

Notable actions: Spending a lot of time in Nocwich, mostly in the forests.

Spent too much time facing her demons and hating her life. Otherwise, just acclimating!
