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.

Isabela Madrigal | Encanto | OU
Contact:
Invited by: Jax
Other Characters: N/A
Character Name: Isabela Madrigal
Canon: Encanto
Canon Point: Post Film
History: Disney Wiki, Wikipedia
Personality: The one way to describe Isabela’s predicament is that she is shaped by having to deal and live with the pressures and expectations put before her as the golden child among her family or Señorita Perfecta as Mirabel once called her. It is not easy being the eldest grandchild of the family who has high standards to live by, caused by the trauma her Abuela Alma went through from losing her husband (and Isabela’s grandfather) Pedro 50 years before the story starts. The pressure she places onto her children and grandchildren to make use of their gifts has caused the family to suffer internally in their own way and, in Isabela’s case, she has to deal with to be the golden standard while consciously needing to ignore her own desires for the family, the encanto/enchantment, and the town they live in.
Outwardly, she comes off as a graceful and elegant lady with a bit of haughty arrogance who grows beautiful flowers and doesn’t seem to do no wrong, except that it is a facade for a woman who has to repress her true self in order to live up to the image of the golden child. Deep down, she finds living by Alma’s expectations too much for her and she really wants to live her life as she intends it to be and explore and experiment with the other options she could do with her gift; it is implied from her character song that she truly has a deep interest in botany and horticulture in general. She has become rather jaded by how people expect her to be as pretty as her flowers and she has grown to hate her situation of needing to live up to the expectations of others, yearning to be more independent and be in control of her life. But because of the pressures surrounding her, she had to hide her true feelings, desires, and dreams in order to make her family and especially Alma proud, even if it means having to marry the man her cousin Dolores has feelings for, Mariano. It is even revealed that she had only agreed to marry him as an obligation to her family during the fight with Mirabel in her room, stating that she didn’t want to get into a marriage with him by her own will. She is even seen visibly upset about having to accept the marriage proposal while singing the last parts of We Don’t Talk About Bruno and also shows shock when Dolores reveals that Mariano wants to have 5 kids with her (Isabela) that she involuntarily grows flowers on her hair as a response. She can get very annoyed by Camilo’s antics when he takes on Mariano’s form that she has to put up flower petals to shut his mouth while (secretly) expressing her displeasure of having to say ‘yes’ to a man she doesn’t have any genuine feelings for. Not to mention that she can come off as rude at times and is able to show anger when pushed to her limits, which is how Mirabel caused her to have an epiphany about being able to do more than just growing pretty flowers.
While it is not shown much in canon, she deeply cares for her family and does a lot to make them them proud, showing off a selfless and loyal side to her like when she tries to help in saving the miracle candle during the Casita’s destruction. While her relationship with Mirabel is strained and distant for most of the film and she had a slightly negative view on her uncle Bruno for his vision of her future initially, she is shown to be close to Luisa, her aunt Pepa, and Dolores as shown when she begins to worry for Luisa when her strength was slowly fading away moments leading to the dinner proposal, when she tries to calm Pepa down with a bouquet of roses, and when she and Dolores hold hands and they hug each other while witnessing Antonio’s gift ceremony respectively. Upon letting go of her golden child image, she becomes less restrained and begins to lighten up, no longer feeling burdened by the weigh of people’s expectations and the pressure of being perfect.
Her relationship with Mirabel is one filled with strain and hostility as she once told her to not get in the way, and, when Mariano and his mom come over for the dinner proposal, that she ‘doesn’t want a word out of her’ during the dinner. She can be hard on her and does seem to be aloof towards her youngest sister and she in return finds her annoying to the point of seeing her as a spoiled and selfish person, both of them unaware how much the other is suffering from dealing with familial pressures. It is also hinted and implied that she may be jealous of Mirabel for not having to deal with the same pressures she has to deal with on a daily basis. It is only when Mirabel learns to see that there is more to Isa than her seemingly perfect façade that the two of them can build a better relationship together.
Through having an honest conversation and reconciling with Mirabel and with the support of the rest of the Madrigals, Isabela learns that she can be more than just her gift and she doesn’t need to be the perfect golden child to be her own person, with her hair and dress eventually getting dyed by different colored pollen and letting her gift to grow other plant life like sundews and cacti, gleefully letting out a rebellious side of her that she had been hiding for so long. She has also learned to express her creativity and interest in plants much more freely than she has done before. She is still a young lady with a lot of things to learn and do who still deeply cares for and loves her family and the community. But she is now learning not to be restrained by other people’s expectations and that it’s okay to be yourself and explore your interests within your own terms.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Immediately
Items: Just the clothes she is wearing
Retained Ability: She will definitely be retaining her gift to grow plants. Originally back at home, she can only grow vines and beautiful flowers, but following after a heartwarming reconciliation with Mirabel, she has since expanded into growing a variety of plant life including cacti, sundews, and trees. But once she arrives at Kaisou, she is going to be stuck with just growing flowers and vines in small quantities.

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!
Isabela will find herself either in a labyrinth (an absolutely beautiful and perfectly curated flowery maze. It is absolutely pristine and perfect. Not a unusual plant in sight) OR she can awaken somewhere in one of the stable gates. 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. September's event log can be found here or you can make your own intro post!
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.
