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 Personality:
⚡ Intense Extrovert
Denki is a laid-back and easy-going guy that gets along with almost everyone. He's expressive and energetic with a tendency to be over-familiar with people, being very casual in his demeanor. Sometimes he can come off as blunt, but it's generally always well-meaning. Denki's very good at making people feel included and acts as a glue to hold his friends together and lighten their mood. He's very socially intelligent and empathic, excellent at breaking uncomfortable tension with dumb jokes or stupid comments, and always enjoys hanging out.
⚡ Comic Relief
Always the class clown, Denki enjoys making other people laugh (even at his own expense sometimes). He jokes around a lot, but he also makes mistakes and messes up in a way that's comedic and makes tense moments disappear. He'll make playful comments in every situation and even teases the more volatile of his friends just to make others laugh... even if it might mean he gets in trouble for it. Making a fool of himself is always worth it when it makes his friends smile.
⚡ The Dumb One (But Not Really)
Denki often comes off as a dim-witted idiot, failing his classes and making mistakes. He's known as the stupid one, but there's layers to everything. He's not academically smart, requiring massive help at studying due to his general attention issues and suffers from Test Anxiety. Underneath that, however, he has a surprising amount of literature knowledge, a vast vocabulary (which he hides) and knowledge of art and music. He's good at English and knows weird amounts of trivia, as well as the ins and outs of electricity. While he will never be a top student, his social genius is nothing to scoff at.
⚡ Loyal Friend
Denki would die for his friends. Full stop. Even when frightened in battle, all he has to do is think of them and he gets the courage to fight even a whole army of villains. He'll throw himself into a pack of weird robots to help his friends move forward, even if it will incapacitate him, and he'll protect and defend the people he cares for viciously. Even talking bad about them makes his own fear wane and the analytic hero appears to clap back. He'll happily follow after two of the more destructive friends without thinking, because he's too loyal to hesitate when it's time for new explosive shenanigans.
⚡ Ladies Man
In the beginning Denki was a skirt-chaser and a bit of a pervert, even if his fantasies stopped at maid cafes and looking at girls in bikinis. He often tried to flirt with girls or ask them out, only to be shot down. Once he got another friend group, however, this seems to have calmed down to more tolerable, typical teen boy levels. He'll flirt and be funny about it, rather than desperate. He also appears to have recently found an interest in men as well, calling a new future classmate attractive and cool.
AU History: Denki grew up in Japan, his mother an electrical engineer and his father a power plant manager. He had a pretty decent early childhood, even if he had some learning disabilities and tended to have a hard time in school.
At 10, he was hit by lightning while playing on a field during a thunderstorm and should have died from the massive current. However, the lightning bolt that hit him was actually a Raiju pup playing in the storm, and it had shot straight into his navel to make a home there. Instead of dying, Denki instead became possessed by the Thunder Beast.
A lot of trouble followed this possession, with his body not quite managing to share space with the spirit. His school work suffered more as an energetic puppy in his veins was a bad mix with his ADHD, and at 11 he had his first discharge in his room, popping every lightbulb and fuse in the house. He had a seizure right afterwards, his brain taken offline as he made a stupid face and pulled his thumbs up subconsciously to try to tell his parents he was okay. It took him over an hour to come back to full consciousness and he spent a lot of time in a hospital afterwards.
More seizures followed when he started to overload, from the strange absence ones where he made the silly face and thumbs-up, to more serious tonic-clonic ones. It always seemed to follow some kind of electrical surge, which neither his parents or doctors quite understood. The more he grew the less often he had the seizures, as he became more used to the raiju's energy - but the pup also grew, and it tended to be a fine line to balance.
At 15 his parents got a promotion to work overseas, so Denki moved to the US and started school there. While he was still struggling with school, he found himself making friends more easily thanks to his upbeat personality, and enjoyed being the class clown, the party boy and a hopeless flirt. It was thanks to these friends he actually managed to graduate high school - even if just by a hair.
At 21 with no clear path in life, he decided to not even try college (much to the chagrin of his parents) but instead now works in an electronic repair shop a block way from one. (Close enough to still go to frat parties and hang out with a group of friends from the school).
AU Personality Differences: With no dream to become a hero, Denki didn't feel the need to put himself through higher learning when he already suffered through high school with his 'stupidity', as he sees it. This means that he's much less driven than in his canon.
Otherwise he's very much still a ray of energetic sunshine. Older but not wiser.
Purchased Powers: General - 2 Points: Medium Level Regeneration (Helps him to not die from overloading by regenerating burnt neurons.)
General - 1 Point: Single Non-Human Feature (Faint tiger stripe pattern around his stomach and back, can be 'explained' as hyper-pigmented blaschko's lines)
Possession: Denki is possessed by a raiju and his main contract price is being the raiju's energy storage. This takes a heavy toll on his body and when he has too much stored it can escape in a discharge of electricity - and often causes seizures afterwards thanks to his brain overloading. Interesting quirks also include an inability to sleep on his stomach and being extra energetic and charged up during thunderstorms - which unfortunately also tends to set his discharges off.
