◎ 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.

Character Name: Alhaitham
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Kaveh and Alhaitham argue, as is their wont, after Alhaitham arrives in Abraxas.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Hilda tries to buy a book from Alhaitham; weird things ensue.
Power or physical gain: Horizon - The ability to summon his blade The Light of Foliar Incision at will. The only thing special about the blade is that Alhaitham is able to recall it to his hand after throwing it. It is otherwise a perfectly normal sword that he can call and dissipate at will.
Notable actions: Alhaitham discussed with Wolfwood going off to find the missing children, and set out on his own once or twice to attempt to recover them. I'm perfectly fine with leaving it up to mod discretion if he was able to rescue any!
