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.

Rhel Fashonti | FFXIV WoL | OU (ish)

Other Characters: August Villareal
Character Name: Rhel Fashonti
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: Post 6.0. I will have a spoiler opt-out post just in case
History: A write-up. That just covers her pre-game history. As for the rest of it, this basically. Some Rhel specific things, however:
A Realm Reborn:
As she'd been in Ul'dah for several years prior to the start of the main story, some of the beginning adventurer side quests were done then. While escaping the Bloody Banquet and the betrayal of the Braves, Rhel took a poisoned arrow to her left thigh. She recovered, but she has a scar and limps from time to time.
Heavensward:
Rhel fell for Haurchefant and losing him devastated her in a way only the Bloody Banquet had before. The only reason she kept going was a strong desire to shove her rod up Thordan's arse.
There was also much loud and protracted yelling at Estinien when he refused to wash his armor of dragonblood. And again when he woke up.
Stormblood
The stress of everything starts to get her at this point, and after the events of Doma Castle, Ala Mhigo, and then fighting Shinryu, Rhel was sent first to Ishgard then to Limsa to recover from some fairly major aetheric injuries that came about from pushing herself too far. Because of this, she was not actually present for most of the story events that take place in "Patch 4.1 The Legend Returns". She is called back for the rematch against Sri Lakshmi and all events following that, though she had not fully recovered.
Shadowbringers
Pretty much exactly as shown in MSQ, though being a black mage Rhel knew that something was wrong with her taking in all this Light-aspected aether. Otherwise: there was a lot more crying and calling certain Exarchs out than we see in-game.
Endwalker
I won't go into detail here, just know that Rhel will be looking at all of this as a fucking vacation. A shite vacation, but a vacation.
Personality: Though Rhel now seems generally calm and a respectable adult, that’s only half true. She really has mellowed out from her wilder childhood days (amazing what having to manage umbral and astral magicks can do for one’s self control), but it’s not hard at all to get her involved in shenanigans. Just ask her students, who love to get Rhel on a tangent about proper thaumaturgy or mistranslated texts, or her friends who know exactly how make Rhel's "umbral facade" crack like so much plaster. Or ask her family, who only really ever see Rhel's troll side unless they happen to brave the sands and visit her in the city. (Spoilers, only two of her siblings have ever seen that side of her.)
Being a teacher really did help Rhel mature, though, and she is very often the only person keeping a cool head in the middle of whatever crisis. She might have a moment afterwards, but Rhel will do her best to be the rock other people can cling to. There have been a few times where she failed to do that, times that have only gotten more numerous as she’s traveled about as the Warrior of Light.
She still hasn’t forgiven herself for the incident with the Braves or Haurchefant.
Though Rhel herself has no desire to make a clan like her older sisters, she tends to half-adopt anyone who needs her help. Some people eventually become "clan" to her, like the Scions, Subetei, and Ivanis. (Vint, being a childhood friend, doesn’t count here and anyway she’s godmother to any of his children provided she lives long enough for that so they’re basically actually-proper-clan.) It’s hard for her to turn away people who need help out of hand, though she’s thankfully learned to be a little skeptical thanks to her years in Ul’dah. Still, if she feels you’re being truthful she’ll do everything she can to get you whatever help you need.
Rhel is incredibly sociable, constantly needing people around for at least background noise if not conversation. The idea of being alone terrifies her and is in part why she has such an expansive collection of mammets. It may be childish or odd, but she genuinely feels better if she has one of her little toys with her and has for most of her life. It’s hard to explain where this fear comes from, but it’s there. It hardly bothers Rhel, though sometimes it may bother other people if she’s in a Mood and chatting up a storm. Still, everyone knows to worry if she isn’t interested in socializing.
And if she isn’t interested in reading? Panic. The only thing Rhel loves more than people and adventure is reading. Every room she’s ever claimed as her is filled with books and scrolls and maps and tablets in all languages; it took the Scions a week and a half to gather up all her books and move them into a room in the Stones once she finally agreed to claim one. She’s trying to get Cid to make her some automata that can organize her vast library. So far it hasn’t panned out--they all break under the stress.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: New arrival!
Items: -Neo Isghardian Rod (but with a red gem)
-This outfit minus the hat (all dyed the color seen in her icons)
-a mammet (magical wind up doll) of Alpha
-a blank journal
-her glasses. obviously. girl's blind without them
Retained Ability: Blizzard 1, the most basic of blizzard spells even a child can cast
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!
Rhel will find herself either in a labyrinth (A version of Ul’dah, except that it's completely abandoned, the layout is more of an labyrinth, and the sky is off) OR she can awaken somewhere in the realm in February's event log. Either way, once she manages to exit the spirit realm, she'll find a smart phone along with a book of instructions how to use it.
PLEASE NOTE - due to the mammet being powered by magic, it will be completely depowered and not function until it's magic power is regained.
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.
