ACTIVITY CHECK

SUBMISSION INFO

Activity Check consists of 20 comments between 2-3 threads. Furthermore, we will be asking for social link submissions.

Social link submissions are essentially a short writeup; please choose, at minimum, 2 pieces of CR in which your character has experienced some sort of shift in. By "shift", we mean anything as small as "my character now likes hanging out with A" to something more dramatic like "my character trusts A with their life". Negative shifts are also welcome! Just as long as something in your chosen pieces of CR has changed.

For September:

• If you submit 2 social link write ups, you will receive a reward from our character regains pool.
  
• If you submit 3+ social link write ups, you will receive either a Magic Ointment (forms a barrier that reflects all magic spells once) or a Physical Ointment (forms a barrier that reflects all physical attacks once).

Keep writeups to no more than 4 sentences.

AC is due on the last day of each month. We will not be issuing official reminders, and those who fail to make AC will be swept.

Please follow the example in the comments on how to submit your activity!

Checking in!

Bonus AC: [loud screaming noises from across the pacific ocean]

Shalem started out slow, he was just collecting a bunch of shallow Social Links and only deepening one or two of them because he didn't want to let people know that he has a few screws loose-- and then in came Shadow Atem with the steel chair. I have said a few times that Shalem is (was, now) his own Shadow, and he is also his own worst fear because when he's trying to be normal (society-normal, not Shalem-normal), he doesn't want to be the murder cultist nicknamed Abyss, and when he's in the murder cultist mindset, he doesn't care to be "normal". It was only natural that his incompatible "selves" or desires started fighting during Atem's penalty game, and the murder theater cultist won because that's what Shalem actually is, and the persona that everyone knows was something he created to hide and suppress the cultist-- given how easily he can revert, it's clearly fragile, so of course the weaker "self" would be overcome by the stronger one. It just so happens that removing his fear of himself managed to create the best possible version of Shalem-- this one fear was holding him back from doing literally anything with his life, so now his bloodthirst is more focused, he's better rested (no more nightmares), happy and more confident, he can better adhere to the personality given to him by the Troupe.

Orpheus calls to you...

"Taming the bloodlust instead of disposing of it...looking straight ahead and never looking back...let us sing the melody of your formidable spirit, Shalem."

Shalem has been granted the following skill:

THOSE WHO SLITHER IN THE LIGHT: In Shalem's eyes, his enemies turn into his former incompatible self, his worst fear. However, by channeling his focus and perseverance, he can create fire snakes that wrap around his "former selves" – his enemies – and constrict them, setting them ablaze. His enemies tremble and the snakes shatter, dealing severe multi-target fire damage on the way out.

Additionally, you will receive an outfit upgrade upon summoning your Persona! The design is entirely up to you and is purely cosmetic.

This will come into play effective 10/26.
