A WILD CR MEME APPEARS↴

Given that it's been a while since our last CR/plotting meme, this seemed well overdue!

This post is where you talk about what you are looking for in character relationships, and then respond to other people's posts to plot! You can be as long winded or as brief if you like - as long as you communicate what you are interested in doing.

New to this post is a 'Collective Objectives' section, which will be a toplevel below. This is for coordinating events or efforts that you want the input/organization of multiple characters on, making a big group log, or developing something have broader ramifications for the Carnival moving forward.

There is a form provided below for your convenience, but you don't have to fill everything out! It just needs to be enough information to give your fellow players an idea of what they have to work with.

CHARACTER NAME | (

journalname)
Canon: (What canon are they from?)
Carnival Role: (What is their job? Maybe your characters could be working together.)
Length of Stay: (Are they new, a veteran, or somewhere in between?)
Skills/Powers: (Self-explanatory; a concise summary of their powers and a link to their IC info page is probably more than enough. )
Routine: (Does your character have a regular schedule people can bump into them easily? A place they like to hang out? Are they a night owl or an early bird?)
Current status in game: (What they've been up to recently, their mental state, and any recent important events or developments.)
Any current or future plans: (This could be things that you would like to happen, or ideas that you're currently working on. Where would you like to see your character go, or are you looking for suggestions? Is there something you'd like to do at the current carnival location? Are you trying to nail some bonuses/rewards over the next month?)
IC Assistance: (Do you have any specific IC goals that your character needs help with? Does your character need help with their act? Do you need someone to fill a specific role in their life?)
Desired CR: (Are you most interested in seeking out positive or negative CR? Friends? Dates? New enemies? Be as specific as you can.)
Shipping Preferences: (Yay or nay? Is roleplaying sexual content something you are interested in? Are you interested in one sided crushes? Let us know here.)
Permissions/Opt Outs: (Please link any permissions/opt out posts, if applicable, here so other people can fill it in. You can also use this to make a note of any content/subject matter you'd prefer to opt out of yourself.)
Additional Comments: (Tagging speed? Timezone woes? Funny gifs? Anything else you'd like to address.)

STEVEN UNIVERSE | (

starseedling)
Canon: Steven Universe
Carnival Role: Performer/Nurse
Length of Stay: Six months so far. Six months to go!
Skills/Powers: A whole gaggle of gem related powers, but the most relevant stuff is his major defensive ability (forming a magical shield/bubble barriers to protect people), plant growth and control (mostly learned in the carnival from his experiences as a changeling of the Rose Queen), and also what I think is probably the most powerful healing ability in the game at the moment? Basically, his spit and tears (at least) both have healing properties, and work about as well as the game power caps allow. However, Steven has approximately zero real medical knowledge, so all he can really do is kiss it and hope it gets better. Thankfully, that much is often enough to get people back on their feet. He's most effective as a combat medic, but he can be found at the medical tent whenever there has been a "situation." Also, he's an empath, so he can feel your feels.
Routine: Steven has a pretty active and varied lifestyle, and could be any number of places during the day. He has a garden planted around his trailer that he cares for, and practices his performances during the day in the big top. Otherwise, he spends a lot of time hanging out in common areas, chilling and otherwise socially engaging people. Steven is not even remotely hard to access, so come say hi! He also has a teleporting Lion, so if you need some heals, let him know! That's kind of his job now. He's also got two Pokemon he's raising - a Fomantis and a Chikorita.
Current status in game: Steven is still recovering from 1) memories of terrible faerie enslavement and 2) a whole bunch of his castmates leaving all at once (including his dad), but things on the second front are getting better. He's generally feeling a lot better on average when he isn't being actively triggered, and is looking at things in terms of how to make things better and help out. He is 100% about saving people from terrible fae-related fates.
Any current or future plans: He wants to get people together to sing about feelings but I kind of doubt that dream will ever become a reality. HELP HIM MAKE THIS HAPPEN. MAKE A BOY'S DREAM COME TRUE.
IC Assistance: He can always use people to love and nurture him, he is a growing boy.
Desired CR: Anything. Except, I guess, I struggle with having him interact with people who are just hopelessly nasty, so if your character is just straight up an axe murderer I probably won't manage any in-depth CR. Morally complicated is wonderful, but hardcore chaotic evil is often a bit too much for him to take. So, I guess, I prefer CR where his efforts actually have a hope of working and would rather not get him into situations where he's throwing himself at a brick wall. Or, I guess, a wall covered in spikes.
Shipping Preferences: He's a wee bab, so I'm pretty much exclusively interested in stupid baby crushes. Connie is here, and she's his best friend and the person who he basically assumes he will marry someday, because kids are like that.
Permissions/Opt Outs: Please don't dump shit like discussion of rape or gruesome murder on Steven without warning, he is a sensitive boy.
Additional Comments:

THAT GIF. FUCK.

I don't want to take up CR with all of your characters because it might be too many threads but holy heck if anyone could teach Flowey something, it'd be Steven.

~~It helps they're even the same age.~~

honestly it's a travesty that we haven't threaded more with these two here?? maybe they can talk during medical aftermath stuff or something
