OLD PAGE. GO TO THE CURRENT APP PAGE 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!
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 Sundays.
To join the game, the only big thing is you'll require an invite from another player. Players can invite up to 2 people per month. Just be sure to list their name and have the person confirm that they did invite you either by contacting the mods directly or commenting to your app. Apps that do not have a invitation confirmation will not be looked at by the mods. If a confirmation does not come within two Sundays 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. The only times I'll ask for revisions is if there needs to be a fix with power purchases or possessions.
Is there a player cap?
There is a player cap! Kaisou allows a total of 75 players. Should we ever reach cap, apps will close until openings become available.
PLAYER SLOTS: 46/75 filled.
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 a player cap of 25 OU players.
OU PLAYER SLOTS: 24/35 filled.
At the start of each month, we will make sure there are at least 2 OU player slots open whether it be through drops, or adding extra slots. But to keep from one cast from dominating the limited OU slots, there is a OU cast cap of 6 characters per cast. There's no cap on AUs from the canon at this time, just OUs!
Casts near Cap:
Final Fantasy XIV - 6/6, OUS CAPPED
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 new character).
What type of characters can I play in this setting?
You have three options for characters!
- Normal Modern AU: These characters have lived normal lives in a modern Earth setting, completely oblivious to anything strange up until their entry into the game. Anything in their backstory should be events that could reasonably happen in the real world. Upon acceptance, Normal AUs will be allowed to pick one free regain (canon regain or an elemental power) worth up to 3 points that will come into effect after they join the game.
- Paranormal Modern AU: These are characters who have grown up in a modern Earth setting, but throughout their lives have experienced supernatural occurrences. These characters will get 3 extra points when they app to use for powers that the acquired at some point in their lives (if they so choose). Characters are also allowed to be apped as possessed status. Please refer to the FAQ for more information on that!
- Original Universe Characters: Characters who hail from their original world and find themselves waking up in this world. These characters will not lose any memories, and are allowed to have any items that would reasonably be on their person when they arrive. They are allowed to retain one ability that's been weakened to beginner levels, otherwise they've been completely depowered.

Contact:
Invited by: Fae
Other Characters: N/A
Character Name: Pascal Adalace
Canon: Original Setting
Canon History: Technology has advanced enough that humanity has traversed the length of the Galaxy, encountering other races and eventually forming the Grand Galactic Government.
Char Adalace was a galaxy-renowned robot designer and engineer, who built the backbone of the GGG’s robotic forces. Every robot in the GGG’s arsenal was, if not personally designed by Char, at least had his stamp of approval, while he himself did personally design the greatest and most powerful of their robotic weaponry.
But it wasn’t to last. He had envisioned a universe of peace when he designed his robots, but as time went on he saw the GGG for what it really was, and eventually his conscience could not bear it. He took his husband, Gram, and left.
He settled on a nowhere planet called Milles 7 and started a new life, keeping his head low and working as a robot mechanic. But he wasn’t quite content, and Gram really wanted a family, so he created Pascal. Pascal was built solely for companionship, to act as a child and provide company. With that in mind, she was built without any combat capabilities at all, not even the usual small self-defense bits given to normal robots. Instead, he focused on her AI, her learning capabilities. It was a deliberate act against his background and the works, the weapons, he’d made in the past.
Although she was built in the body she currently has, she wasn’t preloaded with much knowledge, so her early years were spent learning like a child, though one who rapidly soaked in knowledge and experience. She was done “growing up” in only a few years, and spent time learning about programming in order to help Char with the software side of repair when not helping her fathers around the house or just enjoying life.
Naturally, it didn’t last. 7 years after she was built, the GGG found her fathers. Accompanied by a single Marine was her father’s old assistant, now a highly-ranked engineer and science officer in the GGG. He needed assistance completing a new weapon, a robot of mass destruction, for a project he was leading. When Char refused, the Marine killed both him and Gram while Pascal watched and cried and screamed, unable to do anything else since she was made without combat capabilities. She was spared because she was Char’s last creation, something they could maybe gleam some engineering secrets from... but when it was revealed that she had no combat capabilities at all, she was abandoned.
Without registration, she wasn’t accepted as a free-thinking artificial intelligence, and the backwater planet she was left on didn’t care about having such registrations available to a robot that had been abandoned. She was treated as junk for the next 6 years, nursing a grudge against humans that grew every passing day. She taught herself how to fight, how to scrap with humans who sought to use her or dismantle her or anything else.
That’s when C arrived. He was the leader of a pirate crew of robots, the Cybersmith Pirates. C promised a grand adventure working against humanity and the GGG while raising up robots, and that sounded great to Pascal, who had been twisted by the death of her family at the hands of the GGG and her suffering after being abandoned.
She quickly rose through the ranks within the Cybersmith Pirates, rising to the level of one of its Officers, but one of the final acts to cement her position was to capture a shipbuilder, who happened to, at the time, be under the protection of a brand new pirate crew led by Zain Magnus. She ended up losing to him and his crew, captured, and... more or less given free reign. She enlisted his ship to bring her back to the Cybersmith Pirates, while learning about true comradery and friendship and all of those other things from Zain and his crew.
And when the time came to choose between Zain and C, she chose Zain.
Canon Personality:
-Rude in general
-Finds humor in being a little mean, even to people she likes
-Violent
-Actively hates authority (especially the GGG)
-Seeks to improve herself as a martial artist
-Loyal, once that loyalty is earned, but still rude even to those she's loyal to
-Still a little quick to insult organics for being organic
-Gay, but unsure on where she stands on organic/robotic romances
-Insulting her family is a quick way to earn her ire
-At the same token, despite being a robot, she is firmly against upgrading or replacing ANY of her body, because this is the body that her father designed and gave to her, her one final momento of him
-When she was little, she wanted to be a DJ who also raced cars
-Her hobbies are driving fast, playing music loudly, and watching documentaries
AU History: In this AU, Pascal is the daughter of the Adalace Family, a criminal organization slash familia. She doesn't have any qualms with this, or with organized crime in general, though she doesn't exactly plan on taking over either. She mostly avoids thinking about things like responsibility.
She's in her final year of high school anyway, and doesn't even want to move on to college afterwards. She just wants to race cars and play music. She already does these by participating in street races and by working part-time as a DJ.
She loves her family but without the trauma she experienced in her OU, she perhaps doesn't appreciate her new family as much as she should.
AU Personality Differences: I chose an AU that could map her personality back to it pretty well, but her lack of trauma means that some of her personality traits (hatred for authority, appreciation for friends/family) will be at more normal levels instead of trauma-fueled core traits. On top of that, there's also the obvious differences in being human in this AU and being a robot normally - hatred for organics isn't going to be a thing until she regains those memories, and even then it's gonna be weird being organic herself (for a while.)

Welcome!
Please take the following steps before you get started:
Additionally, if you want to make a personal inbox for your character, feel free to do so!
The Libra app will now download onto Pascal's phone unexpectedly, and she will notice the change in the sky (northern lights). You are welcome to have her make a network post, or just start tagging around! July's event log will be posted on July 4th!
There is a group text inbox that your character will be invited to on Friday. This is just an optional thing, so don't worry too much about it right now.
You now have 4 points that can be spent on any Regains for the month. In addition due to being a Normal AU, she has a one-time free regain that can be redeemed for a regain up to 3 points. These regains will ICly take effect after the Libra app appears on the phone.
