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.)
♥ post your characters! ♥ respond to other people's characters with your characters! ♥ they tell you what their character thinks of your character, ic or ooc! tl;dr is enouraged but first impressions or even just impressions from hearsay are a-okay! ♥ react if you want! wallow in da feels ♥ other people do the same thing -- maybe you can use these for a CR chart later? go nuts
It's time for a CR MEME! For anyone unaware, this 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.
Please post a top level for your characters below, using this form:

Congrats to everyone who has had their application accepted so far, and welcome to Lost Carnival! The game isn't planned to start until Saturday, but in the meantime this is going to be our great big CR planning and plotting post to get us ready to go. I'm going to be outlining some of the more recent events in carnival history in more detail, which is mostly going to be useful to veteran players, but it'll also be good to know for new arrivals to give them a better idea of the atmosphere their character are entering into.
As many of you likely know, the most relevant event in the carnival's recent history is the VAMPIRE WAR.
