Regains
Premise | Rules | FAQ | Regains | Elements
Locations | Applications | Taken | Full NavOLD PAGE. GO TO THE CURRENT REGAIN PAGE HEREAs a character spends time in Kaisou, they can gain (or regain) different perks. These come in many different forms, and can either be things that came from their original canons or new items altogether, depending on what you're interested in! Instead of requesting threads for regains, a set number of regains will be obtainable each month.
Each character will get a total of 4 points each month to spend on regains. Any unused points will get rolled over each month, so players can save up and spend big.
Memory RegainsCharacters who are modern AU will occasionally get flashbacks to previous lives (aka their memories from their original canon). Memory regains are triggered organically through threads and interactions, usually through repeating actions that are similar to the original memory. At this time, no one is sure why these memories are surfacing. Perhaps it indicates you are a reincarnation, or it's simply an echo from another universe.
Memory regains do not require mod approval and there is no maximum number you can regain a month.
Item RegainsCharacters can obtain items that came from their original canon world. It must be an item that the character would've reasonably been able to have access and/or own in their canon (No Infinity Stones for Peter Parker, in other words).
For clarity, a "magical animal companion" consists of any creature that either does not exist in the real world (unicorn, pokemon, etc) and/or is capable of doing things that their real world counterpart could not reasonably be trained to do (talking cat, flying dog). Robots and summons are also considered magical animal companions. Also please note you cannot regain any companion that would be considered an appable character.

Appearance RegainsIf modern AU characters have physical features in their original canon that would not be typically found in the modern world, they can regain these. Characters that came from another world do not have to regain anything about their appearance, but will have to regain any abilities associated with said ability (example: Aang would not have to regain his airbender tattoos upon arrival, but they would not glow until he regained the ability to do so).
Characters who can turn into robots can choose to do a series of low payments where their body turns into a robot piece by piece, or one big payment where they turn into one all at once.

Gacha RegainsFeeling Lucky? Not picky about what you regain? A gacha regain is an item/ability/world regain that is picked via RNG by the mod! The potential regains range from the useless (a paperclip) to very useful (new abilities!) to the very cursed (
long furby). Characters with luck-based abilities will have a higher chance of either pulling something nice or something cursed, depending on which way their luck goes.
Each Regain Gacha costs
1 point.
Birthday SkeletonAs of
November 2022, the
Birthday Skeleton is now offering his services in Kaisou. On the night before a character's birthday, the Birthday Skeleton will appear by their bedside and ask them for their birthday wish. Once they make their wish, the Birthday Skeleton will proclaim "
The Contract is Sealed" before giving them the item and disappearing once more. The birthday skeleton cannot be killed because he is already a skeleton.
OOCly, this means players can make a item request during the
month of their character's birthday. This item can either be an item that's reasonably found on modern-day Earth, or a regain item that's worth up to
2 points. Anything that they wish for that does not fall within these perimeters will either get the skeleton to ask for something else, or he'll give them an item equivalent (such as a toy of the item, or a photo of the person).
To get your Birthday Skeleton item, please fill out the usual regain form and note under the points that this is for their birthday!
If your character does not have a canon birthday, you are free to make one up! If their canon goes by a different calendar, feel free to pick a good equivalent. If they are primordial being that's older than the existence of the calendar - their Kaisou birthday is now January 1st.
Re-RegainsPlayers who previously dropped a character and then re-apped has the option to pay
half price (or rounded to the nearest whole number) for any regains they previously bought before. Re-Regains can apply to any abilities, items, and previously obtained gacha winnings.

|---|
| 1 point | 1 point |
| 2 points | 1 point |
| 3 points | 2 points |
| 4 points | 2 points |

Re-Regain Form:
Players can submit points in order to add items to the city of Kaisou from other canons! Once these items are obtained, they'll be found throughout the city and accessible to anyone starting the following month. Multiple players can
combine points in order to get a world regain, if they so choose. One player will fill out the form, while the others will need to comment to confirm how many points they are donating.
The point breakdown for items are as followed:

Unfinished World RegainsThese are world regains that have had some points put towards but not enough to implement to the game, anyone is welcomed to donate to them!
None at this time! When Should I Expect My Regains to Get Approved?The regain mod team will hold office hours each day from
2pm EST to 4pm EST, so this will be the most likely time your regain will get approved. Sometimes regains will get approved outside of office hours if the mod on shift that day feels like it, but please don't count on it. So basically for the vast majority of regains you can expect to hear from the mods within
24 hours.
Occasionally if a regain request is particularly complicated, it may be put on hold while a decision about it can be made. However, even in cases like that it should take no longer than
one week, so if your regain hasn't be responded to in a week - feel free to contact us and let us know because that most likely means it got missed somehow!
You should also expect no regain approvals on any
major international holidays, aka Christmas & New Years. We also ask that you do
not privately contact the regain mods about your regains. If you have any questions about your regains, please use the proper channels: the
game discord, the
FAQ page, or the
mod contact page. Thank you!
Looking to regain something? Fill out this form!
