Required Check-In
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.
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:

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.

(frozen comment) Altair | Original Character
(frozen comment) January 2024
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: Altair visited Never fade, and after much frustration, found a goat guide that didn't shy away from his magic. He accepted Thirteen's trial and had to navigate his personal version of the sea of souls, the dimension where souls go in his world. He had to consistently choose the memories where he was happy, instead of the ones where he fought for those he cared about. As a result he has reluctantly decided to use folkmore as an opportunity to discover what he wants, instead of always sacrificing himself for those he cares about. (We will see how long this lasts when he starts to care for people here.) He told Steve he would show him his paintings and he needs lore for art supplies so he's trying to interact with people more. He drank some hot chocolate, drew a rose with ice skating and played some arcade games.

(frozen comment) February 2024
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: Altair is slowly starting to adjust to his life here. He has made more of an effort to interact with people, although he's still a bit reluctant about it, and there are a few people he is curious about. He wouldn't call anyone a friend yet. He was also kidnapped by friendly sharks a few times.

(frozen comment) March 2024
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: Altair didn't trust the World's Fair after the last trial but he was drawn in by his curiosity about different worlds. He visited a few exhibits and had quite the shock when he saw his own. He was tormented by Karma and he reluctantly gave them food and received water magic for his trouble, which he has conflicted feelings about. He also helped out at the hot springs and watched others play exquisite robot while he sulked that it wasn't the artist version.

(frozen comment) April 2024
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: Altair rejected Thoth's invitation to the party at the end of the world fair but he ended up going anyway thanks the cold forcing him inside. His quiet life was also interrupted when Thalia decided he needed roommates. He did not appreciate the change, although it may have helped him realize he doesn't like living alone.

(frozen comment) May 2024
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: Altair was relieved when Never Fade returned but regardless of how much he liked the floating island, it didn't make up for all the confessions he was forced to share. He was very suspicious of the food Thirteen made but curiosity, or rather the temptation of the Cloud cake that let you walk on the clouds, killed this cat and he ended up trying a bit of everything, with various consequences.

(frozen comment) June 2024
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: I was on hiatus. Altair has been hiding out in Exile to avoid any more forced confessions.

(frozen comment) July 2024 (now in the right place, sorry about that orz)
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: (OOC: I was really slow this month so I mainly worked on backtags but Altair did get up to some new things before I crashed orz)
Altair had his first encounter with the seelie court during this month's trial. He didn't know what to think about their odd soul songs and thanks the their glamours he didn't have much time to think about it before he was given a cruel reminder of the life he could have had if he hadn't been chosen as a mage. However he couldn't escape his magic completely and a dangerous build up of magic resulted in an outburst of shadow magic. If that wasn't enough to mess with his mind, the seelie court decided to give him a taste of the role that suited his human past, that of a familiar. The wings were nice, but the cruel hints of what could have been were not.

(frozen comment) August 2024
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: Altair has mainly been recovering from the last trial. He also celebrated his birthday, which is also a tribute to the world he and his friends lost. He didn't tell anyone about it but a few people stumbled on his secret celebration anyway and he was secretly glad he didn't have to celebrate alone this year.
(frozen comment) Re: August 2024
(frozen comment) September 2024
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: Altair was trapped outside Amrita when everything became more chaotic. Thanks to the trees in Exile and Illarion he was able to escape Exile mostly unscathed and he eventually found his way to the academy. Refusing to stay put when others were still trapped outside, Altair helped put together a rescue plan and went back out with the rescue team after a week of working with the building team, avoiding healers, and trying not to provoke the panicked animals anymore with his unnatural magic.

(frozen comment) October 2024
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: Altair used too much magic during the recent crisis so he turned into a creepy black cat with a living shadow. His human consciousness is asleep when he's transformed so he doesn't remember what happened during that time.
(frozen comment) Re: October 2024
(frozen comment) November 2024
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: Altair got lost in the desert and ended up in the fighting pits. The fighting was fun, unlike the difficult feelings of loss after his brief splash in the Selkie river or being covered in glitter that made him open up too much. Why can't he just fight monsters for once?
(frozen comment) Re: November 2024
(frozen comment) December 2024
Player Name: Nicholaj
Summarized Activity: The winter holidays are always difficult for Altair so he kept to himself (while I focused on backtags for the month orz)
