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.

My own history writeup bc this game is bugnuts ðŸ˜
Personality:
Once, in another life, Ryoko Shinonome was a perfectly normal girl. Quiet and introverted, her relative comfort in spending time alone could come off as aloofness or even coldness. Despite that, she was warm and sweet to the people she cares for and surprisingly earnest and open with her emotions. She was straightforward and often idealistic to the point of being a touch naive and easily manipulated by people who perhaps don't have her best interests at heart. In many ways, though, her naivety was its own kind of strength, allowing her to put her sharp intelligence and determination to good use when fighting kaiju.
That being said, the girl the present day Ryoko seems to be didn't come from exactly nowhere. She has a spiteful, stubborn streak that surfaces at inopportune times and it's not all that hard to get her to mistrust people who otherwise might be able to help her. She's also a little too comfortable using other people for her own purposes - as mentioned in her history section, she fake dates a boy in middle school entirely to get her parents off her back and then breaks up with him once he's served his purpose without ever once explaining herself or seemingly feeling any sort of guilt about it.
This seems to stem from a relationship with her parents that's quietly implied to be... complicated at best. Perhaps the biggest red flag in this regard is Ryoko's willingness to martyr herself for the people she cares about, throwing herself under the bus if she thinks it's what they want. Tetsuya Ida's manipulation of her is said to be as easy as it is specifically because Ryoko is – as described by the director – used to having to look after and rely on herself, so the idea that anyone else would even think to do so is a revelation to her.
As of the present day, the attack on Sector 2 and its aftermath have broken Ryoko down and sharpened the pieces into cutting edges and razor sharp points. Her worst traits have been brought into sharp focus, with her determination becoming bull-headed stubbornness that makes her dangerous when pointed in the right directions. She's much more cynical and irritable, with much less patience than she may have had in other situations – though given how much pain she seems to be in on a moment to moment basis, it's less a lack of care and more that she doesn't have the energy to waste on social niceties, especially when she's on the warpath. She's also prone to, bluntly, conspiratorial thinking – her difficulty with her memories often means that she's only getting half of the story at any given time and this is made worse by Ryoko's tendency to form-fit the facts into pre-existing narratives she's already built for herself rather than learning from them. This is an unfortunate lasting effect of Tetsuya Ida's grooming of her – she was taught to mistrust everyone around her except for Ida and even after his death, that part of his influence lingers. What's left of her willingness to trust is hard won and she takes perceived betrayals incredibly badly, willing to lash out with real violence when her trust is broken.
All this isn't to say that her worst traits are all that remain of Ryoko. Given the opportunity to better herself in a healthy environment with those who care about her and Ryoko becomes a force to be reckoned with. She'll champion and protect people who are unable to do so themselves and her understanding of what it means to be betrayed by those you trusted most makes her doggedly loyal once her trust has been well and truly won. She's sharp as a tack and quick to adapt to situations where her quick thinking might be of use and most importantly of all, under all her barbs and bad attitude, she's a truly compassionate girl who understands pain better than any girl her age should have to. Ryoko's issue isn't a lack of love, but rather, an overabundance of it directed towards people who certainly don't deserve it and in a situation where her love is put towards championing the right sort of people then she might just become unstoppable.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Immediately
Items: Her medication (NM-C0204) and her phaser gun (said to be able to 'kill an elephant' at its highest levels, can stun humans non-lethally or kill on lower levels as required. Happy to nerf this if necessary!)
Retained Ability: ya girl has bugs in her brain!!! this is absolutely to her detriment, but Ryoko has nanomachines in her brain that allow her to do a variety of things in her home canon but in Kaisou will do absolutely nothing but eventually start pulling themselves out of her brain. Fun!! Resetting them to beginner levels will essentially halt and reset this deterioration but I would love to deal with that gradually reasserting itself and Ryoko having to fix it at some point down the line if that's doable!

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!
Ryoko will find herself either in a labyrinth (a place that looks similar to Sector 2 but the layout is all different and there's no one around. Lying around is notes and mementos reflecting of Ida's manipulations ) 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!
Note: The nanomachines are completely ok! If she needs refills of her medication, they can be found at Bubu Pharmacy. As for the phaser gun, it'll be depowered upon arrival but it can get its power back for about 3 points at the stun/kill humans, and kill elephants for another additional 2 points.
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.
