SUPERVISORS & JOBS (NEW)

[ringleaders]

SUPERVISORS↴ The Ringmaster is the absolute leader of the carnival, and ultimately any major decisions will come down to her prerogative. However, directly beneath here there are six leaders called 'supervisors,' who administrate various divisions of the carnival with her supervision. On an OOC level, supervisors are considered to be a hybrid NPC/player character. While a supervisor will remain largely under the player's control, their status will require them to take on extra IC and OOC duties as required by the carnival's structure. For example, when playing the Warden, it means that if there was a crime committed within the carnival it would be your IC and OOC responsibility to organize the characters within that division to attempt to solve it. That doesn't mean your character has to be the one to solve the mystery, or that their organizational attempts need to be successful, but your character does have to actually attempt do their jobs, and will have to be available to the characters that work beneath them as a leader. Most of the time the day to day affairs of these jobs can be handwaved, but barring special circumstances, you will need to be on call to facilitate game plots when necessary. Currently, supervisor positions can only be applied for by characters who are already in game, either as a newbie or as a veteran. RINGMASTER↴ THE RINGMASTER The Ringmaster is the woman (fae) in charge, and she is the absolute boss of you. She keeps an eye on all the divisions of the carnival, as well as being the head of the show in the big top. She's happy to leave business to her supervisors most of the time, but won't hesitate to butt in if something peaks her interest. She enjoys meddling in people's personal business, and considers herself extremely capable of pointing people's lives in a better direction. She tends to spent a lot of time around the supervisors in particular, and usually attempts to cultivate a sense of camaraderie with them. She enjoys spying on all of her workers, and probably thinks you are very interesting. Supervised positions: All of them. MILITIA↴ SANS The Warden is the head of security on the carnival grounds, and could be compared to something like the local sheriff. They are in charge of both keeping outsiders from causing trouble and keeping workers from betraying the carnival or running off. When the carnival rules are broken, it's their job to organize the troops and get things sorted out. When it comes to obvious infractions, they are entitled to act as the judge, jury, and executioner. LAMBERT The exact role of the Nightrider can be a little bit mysterious. On a base level, though, the job is to scout out the new worlds the carnival visits to ensure safe passage, but on the down low the Nightrider is also the appointed leader of the carnival's militia. The offense to the Warden's defense, the Nightrider is in charge of running the taskforce that is sent out to deal with problems in the worlds the carnival visits. Sometimes it's a matter of collecting carnival employees from danger, but sometimes it's working as mercenaries for hire. Supervised positions: Attack: Outgoing missions focused on completing necessary objective or on retrieving carnival members. Defense: Defending the carnival and its inhabitants against outside threats. ACQUISITIONS↴ CHILDERMASS The Acquisitioner is the one who goes out and collects supplies for the carnival, and keeps an inventory of what is needed. While a lot of the time this is legitimate supply fetching for things like food and raw material, this can also be a euphemism for "acquiring" valuable resources from the words the carnival visits - whether the residents like it or not. If you need something special, the Acquisitioner is your supplier. Supervised positions: Skullduggery: Using stealth and cunning to acquire materials or items needed by the carnival. Research: Finding and decoding information required for advancing the carnival's objectives. ENGINEERING↴ PERIDOT It's no exaggeration to say that, being literally made to perform this kind of work, Peridot is beyond qualified to meet all of the carnival's tech and mechanical needs. Unfortunately for her underlings, her leadership skills are nowhere close to the same level. Peridot desperately wants to ensure that she's the coolest and most impressive boss on the block, and that her team is aware of how great and likable she is as a person! Alas, her efforts to this end are occasionally undercut by the fact that she's still kind of figuring how to interact with organics in a polite and respectful manner, without being patronizing and overly demanding. But hey, as long as you get your work done quickly and efficiently while also providing top notch quality results, and you're always at work on time, and never call out sick, or goof off, and you never ever make any mistakes ever, and you don't mind that she's not very understanding or sympathetic to the limitations of the organic body, you shouldn't have anything to worry about! Supervised positions: Armoury: Supplying the carnival with weapons, vehicles, and other equipment. MANAGEMENT↴ JOKER Despite his seemingly carefree and bubbly attitude, Joker is probably one of the most qualified people in the carnival to act as Stage Manager having been a ringleader once himself. In contrast to what people might think, he regularly keeps those under his wings practicing hard although he at least allows a short "adjustment period" for new workers to the carnival. People who try to skimp are cheerfully hunted down to be dragged back. Not satisfied with only those the Ringmaster has assigned to him, however, Joker is known for convincing workers in other areas to giving showtime a shot. It helps that he has a wealth of circus skills he's always glad to pass onto others: knife throwing, tightrope walking, aerial silks, and various other miscellaneous talents accumulated over the years. During practices in the big top, it's just as probable to see Joker practicing with his performers as anything. Supervised positions: Diplomacy: Making peaceful contact and negotiations with outside parties. ADMINISTRATION↴ CARLY NAGISA Ever harried, ever at work, your Wardrobe Manager might look to be falling apart at the seams, but she's worked around the fabric bolts long enough to keep the same from happening to you; Carly's spent years as a Tailor to the Carnival, but as the Manager she's not only handling the clothing, but anything that comes alongside it. Whether that means uniforms for workers, casual wear for a trip outside the gates, or ever extravagant costumes for showmen, Carly has you covered-and with Make-up on hand, you can be sure that by the end of the day, nothing will look anything less than 'FAB.' Supervised positions: Resources: Managing carnival resources and making sure they get to the departments that need them. Maintenance: Keeping the carnival clean, because someone has to do it. Rations: Cooking and ensuring the carnival is kept fed and, consequently, alive. MEDICAL↴ HERBERT WEST The Doctor is who you go to when you inevitably get hurt. With the kinds of things the carnival encounters, there is no small amount of injuries, and so the Doctor will often find themselves with more on their plate than just running a first aid tent and patching up scraped knees. Significant medical knowledge is expected, with magical healing abilities being a major bonus. Sometimes a needle and thread just isn't enough. Supervised positions: Medic: Aid the doctor in the care of wounded carnival members. Must know at least first aid along with providing extra hands. Nurse: Aid the doctor in the care of wounded carnival members. Must know at least first aid along with providing extra hands.
