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.

Canon Point: Season 2 episode 9, "Eclipse Lake." Beginning of the episode, after Belos and Hunter talk and Hunter runs off to Eclipse Lake.
History: Hunter's entry on the Owl House wiki.
Personality:
CW: Child abuse
At first glance, Hunter comes off as a straightforward smug bad guy, but Luz puts it best when she describes Hunter to Eda after their palismen encounter: "'A beat-up blonde with no magical powers,' she called him, and these are her words: A bad but sad boy."
As the Golden Guard Hunter wears a mask, one that is both literal and figurative. His Golden Guard persona is confident to the point of arrogance, he's the epitome of Lilith's "genius teen prodigy." He's resourceful, he's intelligent, and he's extremely smug about it. He toys with his enemies, trounces them in battle, and doesn't hesitate to threaten them when the situation calls for it. The Golden Guard is a figure that inspires fear and awe to people in the Boiling Isles. Standing at the Emperor's right hand and later taking over as the head of the Emperor's Coven he commands respect from the rest of its members, and won't hesitate to use his title to (try) and throw his weight around. It's about the only way he can get any respect, after all, since he sure as hell doesn't get it as Hunter.
Hunter's actual self is very different from his Golden Guard persona. While the Golden Guard is cool and smarmy, sassing his enemies and ruthlessly threatening them, Hunter is a lot more emotional, nerdy, and even downright loving when it comes to certain emotionally abusive family members.
He's defined heavily by his relationship with Emperor Belos, and by how much deeper it goes than simply being a loyal subject. The two are family, and Hunter cares deeply for his uncle and his cursed state. Their relationship is an unhealthy one though, with Belos heavily manipulating Hunter so badly that Hunter essentially lives for the man. Belos is the sun and Hunter merely orbits him; he claims Belos found him and raised him up, a magicless witch in a world that demands magic and power. Belos gave him a life, a future, and a purpose (the details of which Hunter is not privy to, because that purpose is another method of manipulation). He's grateful for this, and he clearly loves his uncle. Despite Belos' warnings (and it supposedly being the reason for the destruction of their family), Hunter researchers wild magic and makes reckless, dangerous decisions in order to try and help with the Emperor's curse. Even when others reach out to him with friendship and empathy and maybe even the freedom he desires, as Luz and Amity do, Hunter chooses his love and loyalty for his critically ill family member. Belos' wants and needs supersede his own.
His body language reflects his emotional state. When he's trying to be professional, be the Golden Guard, he holds his head high. His shoulders are squared and he exudes confidence. When in the company of Belos he adjusts his language as he tries to anticipate Belos' moods, shrinking back when he's displeased his uncle, standing tall and formally when he thinks Belos expects him to act the part of the Golden Guard. He doesn't cringe away from affectionate touching since he desires that acceptance and validation so much, though when Belos is angry and threatens him he can and does flinch away. He's expressive with his hands when he's discussing something he finds interesting. When something is really fascinating to him he lets his walls down, forgetting himself and losing himself in whatever it is that's caught his interest. It's probably something nerdy, too, because he's kind of a nerd.
He's quick to bond with Luz over glyphs and wild magic, though he stops himself before they get too friendly, and he protects her from Kikimora's magic attacks later on. He also displays a measure of empathy with Amity (though it crosses into him projecting his own issues onto Amity and Luz's relationship), and even though he tells Lil' Rascal to buzz off it's half-hearted, and he clearly enjoys the paliman's company. That he's hiding Rascal from Belos instead of handing him over immediately to be eaten makes it clear that he does have a heart, he isn't always a villain. He has the capacity to be kind and caring, even if it goes against Belos.
Not that going against Belos is something he's willing to do often. He defines himself by Belos' opinion on how valuable he is, and he's in a shaky enough mental state that when he thinks Belos is going to replace him he has a complete and utter breakdown. We're talking cheerily digging his own grave breakdown. The kid really needs therapy, and a long nap.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: He'll be an immediate arrival.
Items:
Palisman: A cardinal sentient magic totem, nicknamed Lil' Rascal by Luz. Normally a palisman can transform between a creature form and a staff form and allow anyone who wields it to cast wild magic, but Rascal will be almost completely depowered and will have to get his magic back via regains.
Golden Guard uniform: Includes his helmet and detachable mask.
Retained Ability: Rascal will retain his ability to turn into a wooden figurine, and a wooden staff.
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!
Hunter will find himself either in a labyrinth (a tarnished version of the Emperor's hall, with statues of the golden knight armor - replacements, in other words) OR he can awaken somewhere in the realm in February's event log. Either way, once he manages to exit the spirit realm, he'll find a smart phone along with a book of instructions how to use it.
You now have 4 points that can be spent on any Regains for the month. These regains will ICly take effect after the Libra app appears on the phone.
