THIS IS AN OLD POST. IF YOU WISH TO SEE THE CURRENT APP PAGE, PLEASE GO HERE.

Okay so application is a very strong word and not entirely accurate, but it's a term we all know so bear with me. This is the page where you officially submit your character information for the game! Apps will not really be judged on its contents but more making sure everything fits into the setting of the game. If you want more information on the setting, please check out the FAQ!

To see the previous app page, you can find it here: Year 1 (2022) | Year 2 (2023)

How do I join the game?
This app page is currently open! Apps can be submitted by players at anytime. Apps are reviewed by the mod on the first and third weekend of the month, ending at 6pm EST on Sundays (so if you submit an app at 9pm on Sunday it won't get read until the following relevant weekend). Please check the calendar to see when apps will be processed next.

To join the game, you'll require an invite from another player. Players can invite up to 2 people per month. To invite someone, have the person apping list the name of the person inviting them, and then the inviter should comment to their app confirming the invite. Apps that do not have a invitation confirmation will not be looked at by the mods. If a confirmation does not come within two app processing weekends of the app's submission, it'll be automatically rejected.

A new player must be in the game one full month from their app acceptance date before they can invite another player (meaning if their app was approved on September 18th, they can invite people starting October 18th). This is so the new player has a chance to get acclimated to the game and community enough to assist any friends they later invite to the game.

Players who were in the game but who dropped/were swept will not need an invite to rejoin the game for up to one month after their drop date. After that month, they will require an invite to rejoin.

Once you submit your app, you'll get a welcome comment confirming that everything is a-okay. Sometimes revisions will be requested if there is a need to fix with power purchases or possessions.

Is there a player/cast cap?
There are a couple caps! The first cap ia an overall player cap. Kaisou allows a total of 75 players. Should we ever reach cap, apps will close until openings become available.

The second cap is on the number of players with an OU (original universe) character. To make sure OU characters do not dominate the game, there is a current limit of 35 OU players. At the start of each month, we will make sure there are at least 2 OU player slots open so new players get a chance to app an OU. To keep one cast from dominating the limited OU slots, there is an OU cast cap of 6 OU characters per cast.

Finally, there is a total cast cap of 14 characters.

PLAYER SLOTS: 25/75 filled.
OU PLAYER SLOTS: 14/35 filled.

Casts near or at Cap:
Final Fantasy XIV - 4/6 OUs NEAR OU CAP
Honkai Star Rail - 13/14 NEAR TOTAL CAP

What kind of characters do you allow?
Most things! Canon characters, Original characters, CRAU, AU characters - the list goes on. Double characters are also allowed so long as the doubles are notably different from one another (examples: MCU Peter Parker and Into the Spider-verse Peter Parker would be fine as they are two clearly different interpretations of the character. Alternatively, a canon version of a character and an AU version of the same character would be fine as long as the AU causes a notable difference in the character). Customizable protagonists and characters from canons with different story routes are allowed, and any characters with differing story routes would be considered AUs from one another.

The only requirement for a character is that they do require a consistent canon history. This is because many of the plot events and mechanics deal with memories and connections to their previous life (or current life if an OU). If you wish to app a mascot character that doesn't have a specific canon background (a vocalid, clippy, the trix rabbit, etc) - you are welcome to write an OC that's inspired by the character with a clear established background to work from. Characters who have multiple canon iterations (like Link from Legend of Zelda or Sonic the Hedgehog) will need to pick a single iteration to pull their canon background from. Characters must also have been properly introduced (not just a quick cameo) in their canon for at least one month at the time of apping.

How many characters can I play at a time?
You can play up to four active characters at a time! Only two of these characters are allowed to be Original Universe and there is an overall OU player cap as mentioned above. You may only play 2 characters from the same canon.

Players who have been in the game consistently for one year (it doesn't have to be with the same character, just the player themselves is consistently in the game) and has never been contacted by the mods about their activity will gain two additional slots so they can app 6 characters total. Their OU slot will also increase by 1, allowing them to app up to 3 Original Universe characters.

How frequently can I submit an app?
There is no time restraint on the first two characters you app. If you join the game with the intent of playing two characters, you can app them both immediately or wait it out! However after you app your second character, you will require to wait one month between each new character app (so if you app your second character on March 2nd, you will need to wait until April 2nd to app a third character). This wait time applies even if you drop a character.

Should I include content warnings on my app?
If you are asking this question, the most likely answer is yes! These apps are not only read by a human app mod, but it's also linked on the taken list as their character info, so we cannot control who reads the app. So it is usually best practice to add a content warning if your app covers any content that may be seen as triggering, just so no one is blindsided by the app's contents.

The content warning should be done in a bold and red font so it is clearly visible and is specific about the kind of content it's warning about.

Examples of content that may require a content warning include: Abuse, Child Abuse/Neglect, Animal Abuse/death, Sexual misconduct of ANY variety, Drug/Alcohol abuse or addiction, common phobias (spiders, sharks, plane crashes, etc), human trafficking, gore, torture, suicide/self-harm, and more. Basically if you feel it's something that may be triggering to another player or the mods reading, please add a content warning just to be on the safe side.

As an aside, if your character has a history of abuse, that's okay! However, when going over their personal history we ask that you not go heavy on the details of the abuse, especially when it's a case of abuse that could feasibly happen in the real world. There are human moderators that have to read through your app, and reading a detailed account of child abuse can be A Lot. It's okay to acknowledge in their backstory that abuse happened, especially if it's a major influence to why the character are the way they are, but just keep it to barebone descriptions.

What type of characters can I play in this setting?
At this time, brand new players have the option of choosing between Normal AU, Paranormal AU, and Original Universe. Players who have been in the game at least 3 months also get the option of apping characters from the Black Order, POKEGO, Zodiac factions or a "Ronin". Details for each category are below:

Normal Modern AUs

Normals AU are exactly what it says on the tin: they're normal people. These characters have lived entirely normal lives on modern day Earth. Up until the day they joined the Libra app (aka when they join the game), they've been completely oblivious to anything strange about the world. Even if something paranormal-related did happen to them, their memories remember it as a more mundane event (for example if they got attacked by a monster, they'll remember it as a dog attack) - and it's only once they join the app may they remember how those events occurred. For the most part, their AU backstory should consist of things that could reasonably happen in a modern day Earth setting.

Upon acceptance, Normal AUs will be allowed be given 9 extra regain points (in addition to the base 4 everyone gets, so 13 points total) to spend as they wish. Any regains purchased will ICly come into effect after they join the game.

Paranormal Modern AUs

Paranormal AU characters are characters who also grew up in modern day Earth, but have experienced supernatural occurrences throughout their lives. Their experiences with the supernatural can vary wildly as long as it fits into the setting of Kaisou. Maybe they've been raised by a family aware of the supernatural, or they started as normal people and ended up crossing paths with the paranormal at some point in their lives. They may even be involved with a player-run faction (aka any faction that's not Zodiac, Black Order or POKEGO), or a new faction that you made up yourself!

These characters will get 9 extra points to be spent on elemental powers (aka Kaisou original powers) they obtained during their AU backstory. These points cannot be used for canon regains (though you are welcomed to purchase elemental powers that are similar to their canon powers, or pick something entirely new!). These points can be used for monster traits, but you need to include some explanation for why they are a monster (were they cursed? An experiment? Are their parent a monsterfucker?) and they will need to be at least half-human.

Paranormal characters can also be possessed. You can read more information about on the possesion info page.

Original Universe

Original Universe characters hail from their original world and find themselves arriving into this world through the Spirit Realm. They will not lose any memories of their canon lives, will maintain their appearances no matter how anime, and are allowed to have any items that they could reasonably carry on their persons upon arrival without any enchantments (in other words, no cheating with a mary poppins bag). If they were carrying a magical bag, the bag will split open in the Spirit Realm and all the contents will come spilling out on the ground, forcing your character to grab only what they can carry.

Power wise, OUs will be alotted 6 regain points to spend on retained abilities. Feel free to consult the regain pagefor clarity on the point values. Any powers that are not retained will have to be purchased later using regain points.

Black Order/POKEGO AU

PLEASE NOTE: Due to this character type requiring a thorough understanding of the game setting, these options is only available for players who have been in Kaisou for at least 3 months.

Players are limited to only have ONE character from each faction at a time (meaning you can have one Black Order member and one POKEGO member- but not more than one in each faction) UNLESS their second character started as another character type and are undergoing an apprentice program. Brand new players, don't worry about that too much. .

Black Order/POKEGO are AU characters who started either as Normal or Paranormal AU characters. However, unlike the other AU types who only begin regaining canon memories once they join the game, these characters began remembering their past lives and regaining canon abilities at an earlier point in their life - usually after a traumatic or high stress incident. Sometime shortly after they began remembering their past lives, they were approached by one of two factions:

THE BLACK ORDER: A secretive group devoted to protecting and preserving the Spirit Realm, particularly any realms that are considered sacred, by dispatching agents known as "Guardians" to manage supernatural incidents of note. While it varies from member to member, the Black Order aren't exactly known for being a chill group. Some Guardians join willingly while others were "strongly persuaded" to join (though after a recent rebellion, those who wish to leave the Order are now granted permission to leave). While you don't need to be religious to be part of the Black Order nor does it adhere to a particular religion, it is said to be funded by numerous religious denominations around the world. Thanks to that, Black Order Guardians will enjoy free housing (within reason, no mansions) and a comfortable salary to live on - though some may get a daytime job/go to school to keep up a persona. After a recent rebellion, the Black Order is under new leadership who tend to rule more reasonably than the previous. Thanks to the constant unusual activity in Kaisou, they have decided to send members to Kaisou and join the app in order to investigate what's going on.


POKEGO: A group devoted to the research and understanding of the Spirit Realm. All in all, they tend to be less hardcore than the Black Order and all members join willingly, though sometimes in the past it was a means to avoid joining the Black Order. POKEGO is less structured than the Black Order, with the group actually being made up of several different cohorts that focus on different areas of study related to the Spirit Realm (such as flora, fauna, gate locations, gods, etc etc). For a long time they held a positive reputation in paranormal circles, but that recently took a serious hit thanks to Professor Willow and his faction's deeds. Thanks to that, a lot of sponsors (including Zodiac) have pulled out and funding has really dried up. This means POKEGO researchers will have to find their own housing and find ways to make ends meet (in other words, you're broke). These days, the remaining members of POKEGO are working towards rebuilding their organization and repairing the bridges that have been burned.

Characters apped will either be in the role of Black Order Guardian or POKEGO Researcher that's been sent to Kaisou to help investigate the situation, and will join the Libra app in the spirit of cooperation with Zodiac (and to keep an eye on everyone). It's up to you if the character had already lived in Kaisou for some time, or is completely new in town. While both of these groups are made up of people who remember their past lives, before the events of Kaisou it was well understood among these group that regaining past memories was an extremely rare occurrence (like 1 in a few million rare), that memories of their past lives were to be kept hush-hush from outsiders - and anyone who refused to comply with the rules would have their past memories erased and powers sealed. So some may not be entirely sure how to feel about these Zodiac app users that have a lot less rules to follow. Typically POKEGO/Black Order characters should be at least 16 years of age. If you wish to app a younger one, they will be considered a trainee and special accommodations will need to be made (aka you need to talk to the mod about it).

Due to their special situations, Black Order/POKEGO characters can start with 20 regain points for their pre-purchased powers (versus the 9 that paranormal AU get). These regain points can be used for both Kaisou elemental powers AND canon regains. Black Order/POKEGO characters may also be possessed, which works the same way as Paranormal AUs.

POKEGO characters will be allowed 1 free pokemon that's up to horse size (and isn't a legendary) upon apping. This Pokemon will be completely depowered, but for 1 point you can unlock up to 4 of the abilities that are available for the Pokemon at Level 1 in the games. Any abilities beyond that would cost the same rates as if those abilities were on a player character. Additional pokemon would cost the same rate as a magical animal companion (aka based on size and they'd start with their level 1 abilities).

Zodiac AU

PLEASE NOTE: Due to this character type requiring a thorough understanding of the game setting, this option is only available for players who have been in Kaisou for at least 3 months.

Want to live out life as a corporate employee? Join Zodiac! Players are limited to ONE Zodiac employee at a time. Exceptions are made if a character decides to start working for Zodiac, but why would you.
Much like the Paranormal AUs, you were aware of the supernatural. But unfortunately, unlike the other AUs who received powers that'd make them protagonists in their own right -- you got the short end of the stick in the ways abilities manifested in you. Not only did your abilities make it difficult to maintain a life among normal citizens, but you were overlooked by elite groups like the Black Order and POKEGO.

Instead, you had to make peace with being an NPC in another hero's story and took a job with Zodiac. You have spent the past few months or years working for Zodiac and if you're particularly unlucky, helping clean up any messes the Libra app users have been leaving. Sure, it's a soulless corporation, but at least it's got dental for your fangs.

Then one day, the Libra App will appear on your personal devices and you'll begin recalling past memories. Perhaps your time as protagonist has come after all.

Due to their less-than-special situations, Zodiac characters start with 4 regain points for their pre-purchased powers (versus the 6 that paranormal AU get). They will also be allowed two free appearance regains (but nothing that gives them extra powers). Possessions are allowed, but they are possessed by lesser beings (as such, their contract price can be less severe if desired).

If you wish your Zodiac character to have more starting abilities, or you just like making them suffer, you can have them start off with flaws that will contribute to their overall pre-purchased point pool.

Players are limited to play one Zodiac employee at a time for now.

Zodiac Characters can have their apps submitted now, but won't make an IC appearance until July 2024 unless given mod permission.

FINALLY, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT DUE TO THEIR FACTION'S REPUTATION, ZODIAC CHARACTERS ARE LIKELY TO HAVE A GOOD DEAL OF NEGATIVE CR FROM OTHER CHARACTERS EARLY ON. Please be prepared to deal with this should you choose to app from these factions. Even if your character is a nice person, they will likely have to work extra hard to gain the trust of those around them.

Ronin AU

PLEASE NOTE: Due to this character type requiring a thorough understanding of the game setting, this option is only available for players who have been in Kaisou for at least 3 months. In addition, it is highly recommended you discuss your plans for a Ronin AU with the mod team beforehand, as this is the app route the app mods will be strictest about.

Players are limited to only have ONE Ronin character at a time..

Much like POKEGO/Black Order characters, Ronin are AU characters who started either as Normal or Paranormal AU characters. Just like POKEGO/Black Order, these characters began remembering their past lives and regaining canon abilities well before the Libra app ever came into their lives - usually after a traumatic or high stress incident.

However unlike their Black Order/POKEGO counterparts, their life path deviated. Perhaps wanting to avoid being under any faction's thumb, your character spent their life living on the run - trusting no one and never staying in one place for long. It's only when you began to hear stories of Kaisou, about the folks who have destroyed Krusnik and taken a stand against the Black Order, did you decide maybe this was a refuge safe for you.

Or perhaps you shared a much worse fate than your roaming brethen. Perhaps you were taken in by the old leadership of the Black Order, but was deemed unfit for Guardian duties for some reason. Instead of sealing your abilities and memories, you were locked away by the Black Order either for safe keeping or for research. Some of these prisoners were put under a magical sleep during their time, only awakening now to a whole new world. Or, if you were very unlucky, you were awake the entire time and only now are getting to taste freedom.

Finally, Ronin status may also apply to former Black Order members who have left the organization. Ronin status will also be applied to any Black Order members who decide to leave, but more on that later.

Due to their special situations, Ronin characters can start with 20 regain points for their pre-purchased powers (versus the 9 that paranormal AU get). These regain points can be used for both Kaisou elemental powers AND canon regains. Ronin characters may also be possessed, which works the same way as Paranormal AUs.

Jay | Anastasia "Ana" Fabre (Original) | Ronin AU

[nefilim]

Player Name: Jay
Contact: DMs / floriographies
Invited by: I live here
Other Characters: Lapis, Ajisai, Ori & Thera

Character Name: Anastasia "Ana" Fabre
Canon: Original
Canon History: Over here! (CW: Mentions of abuse, neglect, self harm )

Canon Personality:

🥀 Anastasia is, to put it simply, a hot mess. Violent, impulsive and living solely for spite, she's a disaster in motion with no intention of stopping. Morality is a suggestion and one she doesn't consider often, and violence is always the answer - preferring to resolve disputes with blood rather than words. Luckily the targets of any violent outbursts are towards those that can fight back, seeing little worth in messing with those she considers weak. But even they aren't spared from her saying whatever is on her mind, no matter how cruel or biting it might be.

🥀 Content to follow her own whims, and is only likely to listen to those she sees value in. She's hardworking and driven, but usually that means she's solely focused on her own goals without any care of what others want. Another downside is that she rarely thinks thing through; her emotions tend to overrule any logical decisions, and she's very much driven by them. If there's consequences? Oh well! She has the capability to be intelligent and cunning, but just can't be bothered the majority of the time.

🥀 Anastasia is at least capable of being friendly, and she has a cheerful and outgoing personality so she finds it easy to speak to others. And when she does become close to others, she's deeply affectionate and loyal, doing anything she can to make them happy. They mean the world to her, even if she might still be a bit of an ass to them sometimes - but it's at least affectionate teasing. She especially has a soft spot towards those who are in similar circumstances, and is actually surprisingly domestic at times.

🥀 Under all that is a very broken woman who struggles with a variety of trauma, suffering with her identity as both an abomination and an experiment, something meant to be a vessel and nothing more, on top of her growing desperation to save her siblings from fates worse than death. Her hold on her own humanity is fragile, and she lives only to kill her father and god, with no cares about what happens to her in the process - it doesn't matter if her life burns out in the end, so long as she can finally achieve her goal.

AU Name: n/a
AU Age: 27
AU Birthday: 20th November

AU History:

Content Warnings: Vague mentions of abuse, human experimentation

🥀 Born to a Krusnik researcher known as Dumah, Ana's early life went as well as could be expected - her mother was never a figure in her life, and Ana has her hunches that she was disposed of. Due to her upbringing, she came to view all the tests and experiments of Krusnik as "normal" and had issues viewing life in any other way.

🥀 As one of the eldest in the facility, one of her jobs was to look after younger kids that were brought in. Through them she showed glimpses of her actual personality, and became very attached to them; over time, she started to view them as her younger siblings and would at times bend the rules for them. Unfortunately, this still wasn't enough to stop her from being moulded into a loyal agent of Krusnik, especially after she started to show "divine" traits.

🥀 Then The Raid happened while Ana was away on a mission, and when she returned to find the kids dead, one of the survivors pointed to Abel being culprit (she didn't give two shits about the other agents though whoops). When she tracked him to Kaisou and saw him... crying over a donut, with one of the kids she looked after laughing and smiling, it was enough to basically prompt a breakthrough. Realising just how horrific the... everything she and the kids she went through was, she decided to leave the city and try to track down her old man. Just to talk. Yeah.

🥀 Though with a lack of skills to really get normal employment, she found work as a sellsword with a mercenary crew. This was soon disbanded, and Ana hooped from place to place where she could - avoiding the Black Order trying to seek her out because one cult was enough thanks. During her travels, she learned of others destroying remaining cells of Krusnik though still no new information about her father.

🥀 News of the Black Order rebellion has her coming back to Kaisou though, concerned about the Krusnik kids there now that there's a massive power vacuum. Totally not realising that they took part in it.

AU Personality Differences: A bit less aggro towards gods, however she still doesn't have the best opinion of them considering Krusnik's aspirations and the expectations forced on her. Will probably still try to fight them this is just how she flirts now i guess.

While she has a lot of guilt over her involvement in Krusnik, the fact that some of the kids lived and are managing to lead normal(ish) lives lessens a lot of her anxiety. They're safe and strong, so she has no massive inclination to go on revenge rampages... Except against Dumah. Fuck that guy.

REVISION REQUEST

[kaisoumods]

Hey Jay! The app is mostly fine, but just a note regarding the Nephilim regain. Basically, since these are more abilities than physiological changes, we're going to ask these following two abilities not be included with her Nephilim mode.

Ability to summon her "holy" weapon, which is a spiked staff good for hitting people

Ability to eat absorb dark magic, curses and spells that fall under "malicious"; doing so will give her a temporary strength boost

These will be treated as separate regains to be purchased separately. Does that sound alright to you?m

[nefilim]

yep totally fine with these being separate regains!!

ABILITY LIST

[nefilim]

🥀 Enhanced Physiology: Far, far strong and faster than a normal human. Her wings are able to grant her bursts of speed, and a punch from Anastasia can easily shatter and splinter solid rock, or crumple steel and iron. Also takes her longer to get tired, and is able to take hits that would usually kill humans with little issue. Also has some regeneration, though more serious wounds will take time to recover from. Her regen also means she can't be poisoned, drugged or get drunk despite her best attempts.

🥀 Tainted Holy Magic: As a nephilim, she would have similar holy abilities as angels - holy magic, exorcising unholy entities and conducting blessings (miracles such as healing, making an item holy etc). However, as she has rebelled, her magic is tainted - she instead harms holy beings with her magic and her 'blessings' would instead cause injuries, curse items for bad luck, or make things toxic. She can also 'leech' off dark/tainted/bad in general magic or energies - basically absorbing it to empower her, so she can technically exorcise something but rather than blessing it she takes the power into herself.

🥀 Flight: Her wings enable her to fly until she tires out, which takes a while due to her stamina. Also has very fluffy and soft feathers.

🥀 Sensing: Anastasia is able to sense if someone is human or not/has supernatural or magical properties, though her powers are more specific in regards to beings considered 'holy' or 'unholy'. If someone possesses magic, she would be able to sense that but not what they are exactly, but she can easily pick up on other angels or demons.

🥀 Angelic Form: A form where her angel bloodline comes to the forefront. It reflects how angels are more like geometric beings with lots of eyes (cw: weird eye imagery), and she is also much more deadly - she moves faster, and hits much harder. Her 'holy' magic is far more potent, able to create a toxic miasma and create large shields that can block strong magic. Her voice will also become odd and distorted, sounding as if it's coming from a static-ridden radio. Her aura plus voice can be very smothering and damaging to a mortals sanity, so she refrains from using it much. Also the eyes do move (both pupil/blinking-wise and just... across her wings), and she can also see out of them - It's Fine.

🥀 Angelic Weapon "Rosarium": A gold staff covered in bloodstains and thorns. Deceptively heavy, very good at whacking people real good. Radiates a tainted aura, and touching the thorns will hurt a lot.
