Attendance Check-In

Check-In Information

Check-in opens on the 1st at 12:01 AM EST.
Check-in closes on the 8th at 11:59 PM EST.

[ 2022 Check-in Page ★ 2023 Check-in Page ★ Full Navigation ]
We do not require traditional "activity" check-ins, but we do require an interest check-in to ensure that our players are present and still interested in the characters they play.

You will be required to check-in during the 1-8th of the month. If you cannot access a computer during this time, please let a mod or friend know so they can check-in for you.

You must check in your individual characters. If you fail to check in with any characters, they will be swept from the game.

If you missed check-in due to extenuating circumstances, please contact the mods ASAP and let them know the situation.

We ask our players to be active in the game even without formal activity check requirements. If we notice any concerning patterns with the same players missing check-ins and being swept from the game or being irresponsible with check-ins or squatting we will contact the player directly. This may include restrictions from reapplication into the game or actual activity requirements.

Please respect your fellow players and mods! We want to keep this game activity-requirement-free and active.

Anatomy Of Check-In

Every player will have an overall check-in comment with their name as the subject line. Every character a player writes will have a comment with their name and fandom as the subject line. Each month, players need to post a comment under each character's comment with the month and year in the subject line.

The comment structure will look like:

🦊 Player Name

🦊 Character Name | Fandom

🦊 Month Year
🦊 Month Year

🦊 Character Name | Fandom

🦊 Month Year
🦊 Month Year

Check-in Content

Check-in comments are IC only, and are required to include a minimum of one thing your character did this month. You're welcome to include more.

Formatting is your choice: sentences, bullet points, something else. We're not picky!

We do not want links to threads, OOC explanations, or apologies. Folkmore is a chill game, and it's completely fine to have not played much.

We welcome and encourage handwaving. Give us something your character did in the background or plans you have to back thread. Note handwaved interactions you discussed with other players. Many players use their check-in posts as records of important beats their characters experienced.

The bottom line is to show you have some OOC idea what is going on IC, even when you're not actively able to RP, to demonstrate your continued interest in the game with the character.

2023 Check-in TL

(frozen comment) Hawke 2024 Check In

[da_champion]

(frozen comment) January 2024

[da_champion]

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Hawke's January had some ups and downs. He experienced what it's like to be Tranquil in a Trial and that's kind of fucked him up. He wasn't afraid of Folkmore or Thirteen before that. Now he's unnerved and afraid it could happen at any time. To counter act this he got a mabari puppy that he's named Montoya who makes him feel much safer. Even though, logically, the puppy can do nothing to stop Thirteen's magic.

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Hawke discovered an Earth holiday called Valentine's Day and went on a very romantic date with his boyfriend, Steven Grant, to the Tides. It was, without a doubt, the highlight of his month. He also continued to train Montoya and get the mabari to have great flawless manners. Better than his.

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Hawke's experience with the tech expo was jarring. He does not like robots, for one, and he felt incredibly out of place there. While he learned a few things he mostly walked away with the feeling that he's very behind and stupid compared to everyone from other worlds. He did eat a lot of incredible food though.

(frozen comment) April 2024

[da_champion]

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Hawke has spent most of April prepping his farm for planting and growing. He even reached out to "hire" a few farm hands to not just get help but teach the art of farming to others. He also went to the vow renewal of Marc and Layla as Steven's date and had a very lovely time. He didn't even tease Marc at all!

(frozen comment) May 2024

[da_champion]

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Hawke had a miserable May. He discovered Steven had been lying to him about his whole existence and they spent the month apart because Hawke needed time and space to come to terms with how he felt about that. Mostly he felt sad and lonely and he missed Steven deeply. He has reached out to Steven and they're working on fixing things between them.

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Things have been much better for Hawke! He and Steven are back together and knowing the truth about Steven has led to a much deeper relationship. He's continuing to grow his farm and has given a few people lessons on starting their own.

(frozen comment) July 2024

[da_champion]

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Hawke was good at avoiding the Trial this month. He quickly caught on to the sunspots and strange changes going on around him. He helped where he could guiding a few through familiar transformations so they could return to being human.

(frozen comment) August 2024

[da_champion]

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: August is the best month ever because at the end of it Hawke's best friend in any universe, Varric, showed up. He's very excited to have him around to hang out with and show around and help adjust to this place. He's so happy and feels a little guilty about it.

(frozen comment) September 2024

[da_champion]

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Hawke blessed everyone in these hard times by farming shirtless. Because he wanted to raise spirits and it was also hot doing farm work all day. But it's what he knows and he doesn't mind doing it. He's glad to help out and feel useful. He's occasionally helping with his healing magic as well. The hard living of this trial really doesn't bother him.

(frozen comment) October 2024

[da_champion]

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Hawke had to rebuild his farm after the Trial. Once he had his house cleaned up and got his mabari back from the box he's very happy to have privacy again to spend time with his boyfriend. He was also so happy to have a hot shower and soft bed to sleep in.

(frozen comment) November 2024

[da_champion]

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Hawke spent most of the month preparing his farm for the winter. He moved some plants into his greenhouse but settled out the fields to make sure they'd be ready for next year. Any other moment he was often with his boyfriend or teaching his students. He appreciates the quiet after all the chaos.

(frozen comment) December 2024

[da_champion]

Character Name: Garrett Hawke
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Hawke had a very romantic December. He celebrated his one year anniversary with his boyfriend Steven Grant. They went on a romantic dinner and then visited the hot springs. So far, Steven is the best thing to ever happen to him in Folkmore.

(frozen comment) Cobb Vanth 2024 Check In

[heypartner]

(frozen comment) January 2024

[heypartner]

Character Name: Cobb Vanth
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Boy, did Cobb have a rough January. The Trial put him back in slavery and while other Star Children helped him get free he hasn't been handling the aftermath well. He's trying meditation with Ezra. He's tried long rides on his unicorn through the wilderness. He's done something he's never done before and that's talk to another Star Child about his Trial. Admittedly, it's Fenris, the other former slave, but it's a start. He also saw Din's face in the Trial and feels guilty about that. He hasn't yet addressed it with him.

[heypartner]

Character Name: Cobb Vanth
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Cobb has spent his February trying to deal with the anger and shame leftover from the Trial. He's taken up meditation with the Jedi but it's rough going. It's helped a lot even if he's terrible at it. He's opened up to more people and is now a Familiar though he hasn't discovered this fact yet.

(frozen comment) March 2024

[heypartner]

Character Name: Cobb Vanth
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: For the tech expo Cobb didn't talk about the tech from his world. He knows it but he doesn't know the details. What he did was cook. He set up a very spicy kabob stand and accidentally terrorized people with how spicy he likes his food. He has no regrets. He also started selling his scrap made wind chimes and suncatchers at the Steves art gallery with Big Steve Rogers permission.

(frozen comment) April 2024

[heypartner]

Character Name: Cobb Vanth
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Cobb's month has mostly been adjusting to living alone and the new synth skin that covers his prosthetic. Not a terribly exciting month but Cobb's made a handful of new friends since things have been so calm. Even though there's a complicated past between the three of them Cobb went to Marc and Layla's vow renewal. He wishes them all the best.

(frozen comment) May 2024

[heypartner]

Character Name: Cobb Vanth
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Cobb had a very quiet May even though there was a Trial. He dealt with his mood weather and only got a little stuffed toy krayt dragon from the potatoes wedges. He actually kept the toy and it's on the mantel in his cabin. He's adjusting to life without a roommate and figuring out what he wants to do with himself now.

(frozen comment) June 2024

[heypartner]

Character Name: Cobb Vanth
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: June was a big month for Cobb! He discovered he's no longer a Myth but a Familiar and can transform into a krayt dragon. Not a giant one like he's used to back home but large enough to be Trouble. He's not sure what to make of this but he seems to have a really good handle on transforming already.

(frozen comment) July 2024

[heypartner]

Character Name: Cobb Vanth
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: Cobb's focus was on looking out for others during this Trial. His partner, Fenris, went through a lot this month and he looked after him, trying to help him cope with the effects of the Trial. They both hate it when their bodies are messed with against their will.

(frozen comment) August 2024

[heypartner]

Character Name: Cobb Vanth
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: August was a month of Cobb helping others. He tried to comfort those who lost their Jedi companions. He helped Fenris cope with the loss of his powers due to confronting Thirteen. He also approached Tony Stark for some armor of his own styled after Mandalorian armor. He feels like something big is coming and wants to be ready.

(frozen comment) September 2024

[heypartner]

Character Name: Cobb Vanth
Player Name: Moose
Summarized Activity: This has not been an easy Trial for Cobb. He's fine with survival but he made a mistake and ended up dead. Not what he wanted to do because it definitely felt like he let the people close to him down. He also damaged his prosthetic and that leaves him pretty much useless around survival and he hates that feeling. A lot.
