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.

shouto todoroki // my hero academia // paranormal modern au!!
Contact: teasplain#2957 where i'm a cuteass pachirisu which is my soul pokemon and this is important info abt me
Invited by: min!!!! love of my life!!!! who is asleep so uh i guess they will confirm me when they're done bein sleeping beauty 💛
Other Characters: no one i'm new
Character Name: Shouto Todoroki YES I KNOW this is a kaminari journal but i took a month to pick who i wanted to apply for here and then i haven't chosen a good shouto name yet im sorry lol. i promise 2 come up with one b4 sunday
Canon: My Hero Academia
Canon History: I want it, too. I'll be a hero!
Canon Personality: Shouto's personality is one that changes throughout the series. At the very start he's a very cold & aloof character. He is entirely focused on his goal to become a hero without using anything his father has given him. At the start he holds himself apart from his classmates and doesn't connect with them like he does in later chapters/episodes...like a sad little man he really do be anime Zuko. After an interaction with his series protagonist he comes to move away from that. Early in one of the first arcs Shouto discusses his past with Izuku Midoriya. When he explains how he won't use his father's power no matter what the other hero in training tells him that it is his power. No one else had ever called it that before. His flames were always his father and his ice was always his mother. For the first time someone saw Shouto as something more than the puzzle pieces of his parents and it changed him at his core.
After that moment Shouto begins to connect to his classmates on a deeper level. He's still more reserved than many of the members of his class but instead of staying off on his own Shouto begins to truly interact with the other students. He participates in class discussions and banter sessions and actively tries to spend time with the others. Whenever they call him he's there in a heartbeat. Shouto is warm with people that he comes to view as important to him. He even opens up about his past willingly with the others on occasion.
As might be obvious from the scars on his face Shouto's past was a turbulent one. He experienced abuse at the hands of his parents and held a grudge against his father for it for a very long time. He still hasn't said he forgives his father in current canon although he is now willing to learn from the man instead of handicapping his own educational efforts. Shouto is a person who wants to move beyond his past and face his future. That past still chains him down in some ways, sure, but he is actively working to move beyond it.
Shouto has come a long way from the loner he once was at the very start of the series. He has friends now and he fights for those friends. His family relationships are being worked on and healed in some cases. He is working to be his own kind of hero using both his fire and ice powers. And most importantly of all he is refusing to let his father control his path and claiming his future for his own.
AU History: OK SO HERE WE GO I think the most interesting kind of alternate life to give Shouto would be one where he had a happy family! His parents in this life did not harm him at all and were chill as heck. They were busy sometimes sure and have been active in the paranormal world since he was a kid hunting down evil spirits and monsters but they have always cared for him and encouraged him to follow his own path!!! They have never tried to make him live his life for them and have instead tried to get him to live his life for him! I think this simple change will make it all the more interesting when he begins to realize he didn't have that in the memories he gets!
His parents moved them around often and only settled in Kaisou when he was a teenager. I do want his life to have a hint of tragedy for realism though so I will say that his father passed away only a year or two back since Disney mom deaths are out and Disney dad deaths are in again? He was much loved and Shouto actively misses the cool dude. He's very close with his mother as a result! A momma's boy.
While he has an interest in following his parents' footsteps to travel around solving spirit problems he's currently attending college for a degree so he can give himself the option of falling back on a "normal" career if he chooses. He's in gen ed because he hasn't decided what he wants to do yet though...maybe something like photography or something artsy? He lives with his mother and works part-time at a bar since becoming legal to do so!
AU Personality Differences: Shouto is much less angry! His parents raised him with love and affection even when they were busy and they had no expectations of him other than that he be happy. He is much more settled in himself and his life and feels like it is okay if he doesn't always have it figured out and if his goals are sometimes less than the top. He carries much less sadness and trauma on his shoulders! Good for him now he has to remember all the sucky stuff whoops :)
Element: Wind
