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.

Character Name: Toshinori Yagi
Canon: My Hero Academia
Canon History: Toshinori Yagi in history
Canon Personality: Yagi Toshinori is better known as All Might in his own universe. My Hero Academia is a story about superheroes and supervillains and of the former group All Might is by far the most famous and beloved. He inherited his Quirk (what they call superpowers there) from a woman known as Nana and went on to become the "Symbol of Peace". He was so famous and so competent at his job that just by existing he deterred many people from villainy. That was his goal from the start and he accomplished it by throwing himself so completely into his job that he rarely had the time for anything else. All Might was one of those heroes who stood alone more than he didn't. No one else was ever really on his level and he kept many secrets that made it hard for him to truly get close to many people until he was brought down to normal after a decisive battle with his ultimate nemesis, All For One.
Due to his role of Symbol of the Peace Yagi puts on a persona that is boisterous, cheerful, and loud whenever he is in "muscle!Might" form. He's always smiling and tries to seem like an unshakeable pillar of the world. Even many villains would come to see All Might as a shining example of a hero in his time as the number one hero. The other side of that is that he kept to himself many of his struggles and uncertainties. Very few people knew how he got his powers and he kept his search for a successor very under wraps and did not find one until well after his initial injury. All Might has kept secrets even from that successor, Izuku Midoriya, because he felt it was necessary.
Outside of his persona as a hero Yagi is much more down to earth. He's noted to be intelligent and to downplay that intelligence with other people. Sometimes just through being a bit silly and sometimes deliberately as a tactic. Yagi is very aware of what the world stood to lose without him being there to hold things back and he bet everything on the future when he began to lose his ability to maintain his strength. It was only in his twilight years as a hero that Yagi began to understand that the future would require more than just one Symbol of Peace. It would need an entire generation of them. He's been growing and changing even in his late 40s as he acknowledges his own shortcomings as a mentor and a hero and as he tries to support the future generation in their struggles to shore up the legacy he left behind and create something even stronger.
AU History: Yagi Toshinori was born in Japan where he stayed until the age of 16. At that time he entered an exchange student program and spent the rest of his high school years in America. He returned back to Japan after it was over to attend university in his homeland. From there he worked as a fireman and later a paramedic. He was injured heavily when he was in his late 30s and decided to retire and travel. After a year of that he admitted he was bored just being retired and decided to go to school in order to secure a teaching degree. He chose to return to America for this for a change of pace and after the appropriate amount of time to get a degree he managed to secure a position teaching paramedic-related courses. Since he's now 49, that was several years ago and he has reached a comfortable position with that.
His paranormal AU background is a bit unique in that he spent most of his life unaware of the supernatural. It's only when he began dating a woman five years ago who had a background with it and who was able to see and interact with that side of things that Yagi began to learn about the entire situation. He married that woman and acquired step-children alongside his supernatural crash-course. Since he's only been aware of things for a little over four years, he's still often surprised by new information but does his best to keep tabs on it. He's managed to acquire some very minor abilities that took him the better part of those four years to get. In keeping with that his chosen purchased powers from the start will all be 1-point level. He's pretty useless in a head to head fight since his career-ending injuries keep him in a perpetual state of poor health but he's very good at emergency medicine and disaster knowledge.
AU Personality Differences: Since he isn't the one and only symbol of Peace in Kaisou Yagi will have a lot less pressure for himself about appearing infallible and strong. He's not the only guy who has ever done his job and he isn't waiting around for someone to take his place currently. He's teaching the next generation because he enjoys it rather than feeling he absolutely has to pass on his power. He's more willing to ask for help or show that he isn't a pillar of strength in this world than the other one. He didn't ever perfect his "hero" persona that was so much louder than his usual one so instead Yagi is comfortably a lot calmer and more in lines with his "sick!Might" persona. He's optimistic and can be dramatic but he has never been famous or in the line of sight of the entire world which means he's a lot more relaxed overall. He is still dedicated to his work but he also has a family and people he cares about and hasn't had to give his life from the age of sixteen on to a cause to defeat villainy so he's carrying a lot less weight emotionally than he would otherwise have.
Element: Light
Purchased Powers: Conjure a ping-pong size ball of light + Turn a glass worth of water into holy water + Can pull pen or smaller objects towards you (less telekinesis and more gravitational pull) for his three minor abilities.
