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.

| Normal Modern AU | Paranormal Modern AU | Original Universe |
Jane Porter | Disney's Tarzan | Normal Modern AU
Contact: PM journal,
Invited by: TF (also I used to go here LETMEIN.GIF)
Other Characters: n/a
Character Name: Jane Porter
Canon: Disney's Tarzan
Canon History: And I was saved! Saved by a flying wild man in a loin cloth.
Canon Personality: Jane is a woman of high class and education who, despite the lifestyle lived by she and her father in their zoological explorations, still manages to maintain a certain level of standards. She has an idea of how people ought to behave and does not see herself as ‘lesser’ simply for being a woman, quickly standing up to the likes of Tarzan when he oversteps, and the brutish Clayton when he doubts her ability. Her idea of what is ‘proper’ is a fairly lax one given the standards of the day, but she is quite firm about not stretching those boundaries too far, particularly with those she does not know very well.
She is a bright, adventurous young woman who will boldly set foot where no one has gone before with little fear for the consequences to herself. Her general fearlessness (to a point) can manifest as a kind of prideful arrogance which feeds very much into her habit of getting herself into trouble, but her curiosity is genuine and she takes great care in respecting the new places in which she finds herself. After all, they don’t belong to her.
Despite her upbringing, Jane is undeniably eccentric, though big-hearted and with an artistic soul that is implied to make her very similar to her mother. She has an ambitious, spontaneous streak which has taken her all over the world and driven her to become an accomplished zoologist as well as to develop impressive artistic skills which allow her to draw detailed sketches even from memory. Her intelligence is not only in what she knows and what skills she has developed, but also emotionally. Jane is an empathetic individual who cares deeply about others, be they human or animal, and she maintains a level of open-mindedness that lends itself well to being quick to adapt to new situations.
Compassion is something which comes easily to Jane, and her openness to attempting to understand new things is something that ties into how well she expresses it. She would not be one to turn away from someone who was hurt or distressed, even if they had caused her harm before. Though she can be more wary of those she sees as not aligning with her own values, she will not pre-emptively turn away from them, but will let their actions speak for themselves. She does have a certain naivete, however. Her upbringing has not been sheltered by usual definition, but her absorption into the world she and her father create in their travels and studies together has closed her off slightly to always being able to ascertain the motivations of other people.
Jane is a talkative individual who sometimes over-shares, with a sense of humour that is as eccentric as she is. Her various flaws make her far from perfect despite her talents, but her sunny disposition, will to soldier on even when everything seems stacked against her, and her ability to follow her heart to the things she truly desires (despite what she knows is expected of her) make her a delightful young woman to be around.
AU History: Jane comes from a fairly well-off family even in the modern era. Her father is a prominent university professor and researcher and her mother an accomplished artist, and she has lived what most people would consider to be a charmed life. When she was in her late teens she decided to try and strike out on her own and moved away from her family home to start up somewhere entirely new, though she never did quite learn what it was like to truly be on her own (she has always had her parents' generosity to fall back on).
Despite her privileged upbringing, Jane has always been generous and charitable to a fault and when she eventually settled on starting a business in Kaisou she did so with the idea that if she could make even one person's life better then everything would have been worth it.
With this in mind she opened an art and literary store in town and holds free painting classes one night a week that anyone can drop in on if they want to learn something new. Though she hasn't quite reached the point of considering herself a pillar of the community she does cherish each and every person that comes in through the doors! She's even considering putting some of the books in the store aside to use as a library.
AU Personality Differences: Honestly, not many! The kind of life that Jane has lived in her alternate timeline has allowed her to develop many of the same personality traits that are seen in canon. Her spirit and adventurousness are intact, as well as her occasionally troublesome sense of pride and her tendency to stick her nose into things that she shouldn't be involving herself in. The main difference would be the difference between the sensibilities of a Victorian woman and a modern-day woman - Jane does not have the same societal concerns as someone living in 1912 would, and a woman at that, and thus she is far more confident when it comes to matters of gender roles/expression, personal fashion and her 'place' in society. She would be far less likely to take being spoken down to or bossed around... though it could be argued she wasn't really putting up with that to begin with.

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!
The Libra app will now download onto Jane's phone unexpectedly, and she will notice the change in the sky (northern lights). You are welcome to have her make a network post, or just start tagging around! October's event log will be up in a few days!
You now have 4 points that can be spent on any Regains for the month. In addition due to being a Normal AU, she has a one-time free regain that can be redeemed for a regain up to 3 points. These regains will ICly take effect after the Libra app appears on the phone.
