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.

Anthony J. Crowley | Good Omens | Paranormal AU
Contact:
Invited by: Soap
Other Characters: N/A
Character Name: Anthony J. Crowley
Canon: Good Omens - CRAU (Tramitem) - CRAU (Avalon)
Canon History: Wiki Link
CRAU (Tramitem) - In Tramitem characters were born into and lived very human lives until strange memories and powers began to manifest. Anthony was born into a Catholic family and raised in Hexham in Northumberland. While his father died when he was very young his mother encouraged and supported him, he had siblings to look after and torment him, and he was very close to his cousin, Alec. When his memories of being a demon began to return it placed a strain on his family relations, broke apart an engagement and the life he was 'supposed' to live, and sent him off on the quest to win Mr. Fell's (Aziraphale's) attentions while they attempted to navigate their strange and perhaps murderous past. You see Aziraphale had recognized Crowley from their very first meeting as the man who had suggested he kill a child. With no context this gave the pair a great deal to sort through. Anthony earned no powers but his own and would only be regaining the occasional memory from this time.
CRAU (Avalon) - In Avalon he finally recalled very clearly who and what he was but his powers had been replaced entirely by the powers of his new familiar, a Pooka. He was reunited with both Alec and Aziraphale both of whom recalled their lives in Tramitem. The quests this world sent them on tested their bonds as Aziraphale and Crowley tried to sort through those friendship or romantic feelings that had developed in their previous lives while Alec and Crowley tried to decide if they were really family and what to do with each other now that they knew they weren't. Again, I'm not interested in regaining powers or items from this game but the occasional memory would be nice.
In both games Crowley was either very much himself or slowly became himself as his demonic traits and memories returned so there shouldn't be too much worry about his being a vastly different character.
Canon Personality:
Crowley is a fast living overall non-threatening demon who is actually quite morally decent. He objects to the killing of innocent animals and people while working to save the world from the coming Apocalypse... not for entirely altruistic reasons. He enjoys the life he has created for himself on Earth and wishes to spend more time with his best friend and angelic rival, Aziraphale, who he regularly goes out of his way to save despite their being on opposite sides. He doesn't take his job as a demon too seriously often finding ways to slither his way out of doing work as he thinks humans are better at tormenting themselves than Hell is anyway. Though he does find enjoyment in a wicked deed as long as it goes correctly and doesn't backfire on him which happens fairly frequently. Crowley sees himself as a 'big picture' sort of demon but he doesn't actually look ahead to what the consequences of his actions might be. In his mind he is very evil and diabolically clever but in reality he is more of a minor inconvenience and occasional source of inspiration for humanity. He has a flair for the dramatic which he expresses with flashy clothes and the intermittent tantrum when things are not going his way. He is sarcastic but generally not mean spirited and rarely uses his powers to kill. He is also a bit of a dork who does things like adding bullet hole decals to his otherwise mint condition and lovingly looked after Bentley because they were a James Bond promotion at a petrol station and he was a fan of the spy's movies.
AU History:
Anthony. J. Crowley is the first born son to a Scottish mother (Lorna) and an English father (Richard Crowley), but only by a little bit. Alec (Hardy) is his ever so slightly younger twin brother who was born a few minutes after him. Attempts to build a stable and happy family would ultimately fail as Richard's dalliances on the side were discovered. During the divorce assets were split and so were the children. Anthony went to live with his father in London after the divorce while Alec went to live with his mom and later his grandparents in Scotland when Lorna ended up disappearing. This happened when the kids were very young and neither Anthony or Alec have heard anything from her since childhood. Whether she is alive or dead remains a mystery. Perhaps her disappearance had something to do with Spirit Realm.
Richard's revolving door of girlfriends didn't prevent Anthony from having a fulfilling life in London. He learned the art of manipulation and guilt tripping to get tributes from his dad's girlfriends, his dad's home was situated near Victoria Park so he had all that green space to play, and London had a vast public transportation system that allowed Anthony to explore museums, dockyards, cafes, and the vast wonders of the massive city. During summers and certain special events he would be reunited with Alec, sometimes spending time at the grandparents Scottish seaside village and sometimes at summer camp. It was during one of these long summer camp adventures when a mysterious fire broke out in the kids cabin. All of the children but Anthony himself were pulled out of the fire by the actions of a brave counselor. She would die in the fire however miraculously Anthony would be found unharmed without even the smallest of burns. This the was first indication Anthony had that he was unlike other people. His fire immunity has been with him since though rarely used for anything more impressive than taking hot things out of the oven or rescuing dropped items from campfires.
Anthony was not a dumb kid but he did not do too well in school. Reading all those books was boring and he found his mind drifting to other things. The only thing that saved him was that he had a strong curiosity and was always asking questions. He was one of those kids who rarely did their homework but always managed to pass the tests anyway and that was how he got by.
After earning a mostly useless college degree, solely due to his father's insistence rather than any desire on his part to do more than party and drift, he found himself in Kaisou and in need of a job. He stumbled his way into his first childcare profession simply by being in the right place at the right time. While sitting at a bench feeding some ducks at one of Kaisou's residential parks Anthony happened to see a mother with too many children and not enough hands to wrangle them all. He didn't think too much of it until he later heard the mother screaming a missing child's name and happened to look into the pond to see the boy laying facedown in the water. In part due to his traumatic experience at camp and also in part due to his twin's fear of water Anthony had taken CPR as an elective. Once he fished the boy out of the water he was able to save his life and get him breathing again. This family ended up being his first employers as the mom clearly needed the help to look after so many kids and he, despite his unconventionally un-nanny-like attitude and appearance was good with kids. He stayed with this family until they moved across country and carried on in the profession ever since, even working with Yoosung's family until he was old enough to manage on his own.
AU Personality Differences:
He has a strong sense of protectiveness towards an angelic friend of his, Aziraphale. In Kaisou Anthony would not initially remember him and this sense of protectiveness would be applied to Alec and Yoosung / any child he has been hired to look after.
Element: Fire
Purchased Powers: Three points spent on Temporary fire immunity (10 minutes)
