Activity check will remain open through March 7th. Only activity from February 1st through February 28th will be acceptable.

• If your character was accepted during this last month/activity cycle, you need only to check them in with their name/journal/info post/HMD, and do not have to fill out the four thread links and activity summary sections. If your character is less than a week old as of this announcement (accepted from Feb 22nd onward), you do not have to reply here at all.

• If your character has an announced hiatus of a week or more in length for this month, this may be used instead of providing activity and you do not have to reply here. HOWEVER, please note that using a hiatus instead of providing full activity two months in a row will constitute a strike, which will stay in place for four months. Players who are currently on hiatus will be noted, but are encouraged to post their activity when able to avoid consequences if another hiatus has to be used next month in lieu of activity.

• All other characters must check in with all sections (or accept a strike) by or during the 7th or be removed from the game! Please remember the four required threads must also be with four different characters.

NEW THIS MONTH: All characters must now have a link to some sort of "How's My Driving"/crit post in addition to their info/Echoes post. While there's no other requirements (such as allowing anonymous posting or logging IP addresses), comments do need to be enabled.

Please fill out the following form and add it in to a new comment.
Player Section (Paste once.)

Activity Section (Paste once per character.)


Threads do not have to be a set length to count, but it must be evident that some work/thought was put into them; a network-based thread of many brief comments may hold the same weight as a shorter one with a higher word count per comment. Threads can all be from the same entry and can have been originally started before the month's start. However, at least one thread provided must have been started during the actual month in question, and of course, all threads must actually have activity within the cycle duration.

In other words, don't sweat it, though if you feel four threads is not enough, you may provide up to two more, both of which can be with a character who is the same as in one of the first four linked threads.

Strikes: If your character does not meet activity requirements for whatever reason, you may opt to take a strike for them by replying here or speaking with a mod. Characters with an existing strike who then qualify for another will be removed from the game, and cannot be apped in again until their initial strike has expired. However, again, each strike only lasts four months before being reset. For example, a character who has a strike from December will need to have activity or a declared hiatus each month up to and including April's activity check.

Haha, so I totally put up my ic intro before remembering that maybe I should introduce myself. ^^;

Hi guys! I'm Ket, a totally new player to this game, bringing in Nowi from Fire Emblem: Awakening. Her reincarnation is a peppy seventh grader who lives with her grandpa and just had her first echo a week ago. This is my first try at AU, so I hope I'm doing it right. o/

OKAY, hello StE. Some of you might have noticed that my activity here has been basically nonexistent for the entirety of 2014. It's slightly more complicated than this, but the bottom line is that I found out recently that I'm being evicted at the end of March and the only option I have right now is to drive 2,700 miles west and stay with friends there. more details here if you're curious but i don't expect you to read this )

What this means for my future in the game is that I'm going to try to stick around through the end of season 1, but I can't make any promises since most of my mental energy is going towards figuring out how I'm going to fit two people's lives into a car for an unavoidable cross-country relocation. I'll keep people updated here, but if I don't have the wherewithal by the end of the month, I am probably going to drop.

Hello STE! My name is Dee, and I'm super excited to have joined this game!

I've brought with me a blond failed revolutionary; Enjolras from the novel Les Misérables. He's his own special brand of crazy- he's an idealist to a fault, and has an unshakable belief in humanity. He's not afraid to do whatever needs to be done- to put it mildly, he's a little intense. I'm really looking forward to subjecting him to all of you. :'D

Enjolras is fairly new to Locke City itself; he's a transfer student from Paris to the University, though he's found a few places throughout the city to frequent, one of which will be a little Parisian style cafe called 'Aux Bons Copains'. I intend to have him start a little mini-activism group out of it, so if anyone is interested in getting involved in that don't hesitate to hit me up; I'd love to hear from you! I'm still getting a feel for the political climate of Locke City, so if anyone wouldn't mind giving me a hand with that I would be ETERNALLY grateful!

As for that, you can feel free to add me on plurk at [plurk.com profile] oresteia. You can also reach me on AIM at ArbitraryAlly, though I'm almost always invisible. But feel free to leave me a message there and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm around. I'm probably going to hold off on introducing Enjolras ICly until after the giant snake fallout, but we'll see!

Hello hello! I'm Ran and I am very new to this game. I'll be bringing in Grantaire from Les Misérables, that pretentious French thing that got a movie. In canon, Grantaire is basically the representation of What Not To Be ie a cynic, a drunk, ridiculously obnoxious.

He's still all of those things but this time without his buddies who make him happy. So worse. But less talkative so that's something. Anyway, he came to Locke City for college and now that he's done with that, he's doing nothing with himself. He does wander around a lot so it's pretty easy to find him at bars, restaurants, gyms, basically anywhere.

Here's a highly unhelpful info post and I can be reached at [plurk.com profile] faildere! Can't wait to start playing!
