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!

Izou came into the game believing he had nothing to hold onto to keep himself going besides anger, and no purpose to serve besides fighting and killing. Still bitter over the way he felt discarded by the people he'd cared about the most, the idea of being summoned here to form bonds seemed like a mistake to him, and on a deeper level, terrifying. Under all his threats and bluster, Izou was afraid that he is the problem, that he is inherently unworthy of the same loyalty and affection he finds himself giving away all to easily despite his reservations.

It took having a bunch of people, who had little if any reason to stick their necks out for him, fighting through his palace and still holding out a hand to him to make him realize there was a chance for him after all. And that he didn't want to fuel himself through anger. Maybe it was alright that he wants to reach out despite having been scorned before!

After that, he slowly settled into this new mindset, still prickly and argumentative, but more and more his strong emotions were being redirected in positive behaviors, focusing more on protecting and less on killing. As he became increasingly secure in the fact that he wasn't just being tolerated for his usefulness, the more upbeat and lively side of his personality started dominating over the sullen grungy manslayer side!!! He's still got issues to work through and he's still framing his budding relationship in a weird violent obsession but... he's inarguably much happier and more comfortable than he was before.

Medea calls to you...

Izou has been granted the following skill:

YOU HAVE MY SHIELD: Izou gains a curse-infused shield that he can use to protect himself and others. The shield, despite being powered by curse energy, radiates warmth that feels like the sun. The shield cannot block any attacks, but it can do one of two things per use: 1) Reflect damage done to Izou and/or his allies back at his enemies, or 2) be thrown like a boomerang, which will slice enemies in a line across the battlefield. Either option will do severe multi-target curse damage.

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.
