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.

Canon: Hades (game)
Canon History: Ta-dah.
Canon Personality:
Hypnos is a generally friendly guy. He likes most people he meets. He has no problem talking to or engaging with strangers. In fact, for canon, it is a part of his job! Most of his friendly nature comes across as him being a bit of a tease towards just about everyone. New people he meets and old friends are all subject to his teasing. He loves to make jokes and give bad advice about any situation at hand (don't step on spikes if you don't want to die, just saying). He brings a certain level of joy and cheer to the House of Hades, which is an otherwise dark setting. His good-natured attitude is a breath of fresh air.
Although he is friendly, friendship with him can take a little time and energy to build. It's not difficult, but effort is absolutely needed to build a real level of trust with him to where he'd share more personal parts of himself with someone. Luckily, his easy going nature makes it pretty easy to spend time with him to build it to that point.
Because Hypnos comes across as an extremely easy going guy, it can come across as being lazy. He isn't necessarily perceived as the best employee, although he does develop a love for certain parts of his job. He has a love for making lists then completing all of the tasks. He found them to be helpful for ensuring he has time for all of his work tasks and things he enjoys (which is just...sleep, to be honest).
Because of his easy going nature, it is hard to frazzle, frustrate, or annoy him. Those buttons would have to be pretty intensely pressed in order to even get any sort of intense reaction (like anger) out of him. Or, if what is being said to him comes from a close family member or friend - he tends to take them to heart because they are someone he trusts.
Even though he comes across as fairly sure of himself and who he is, his self-esteem isn't always the best. He never really receives much praise and is more inclined to believe a criticism than a compliment, and certainly not one from one of his stern family members. (For example: when Nyx compliments him on his improved work ethic he assumes it must come from Hades himself rather than her). This comes across less in the form of talking down about himself, and more in the surprise when he does get a compliment.
Hypnos is deeply loyal and caring towards people he cares about - especially his family. Even though his family members all seem to express their care and love towards him in a very different way from him - at his core he trusts and knows that they love him. Once he has someone that he cares about, he's going go to bat for them in any way that he can. He takes their opinions of him seriously, and will listen should they provide advice. The opinions of his family and friends matter a lot to him. He cares about how they feel and he will take their words said to heart.
AU History: Hypnos grew up in a comfortable home with a single mother. She worked hard, provided, and he lived a great life with his siblings early in life. He comes from a fairly big family (both in the number of people in it and the stature of them, considering he is over 7' tall). Even though he's been treated well as the youngest of all of his siblings, he tends to be a bit of the black sheep of the bunch. While most of his family is extremely hard working and can come across as emotionally distant, Hypnos is a bit lazy and extremely friendly.
In his youth, Hypnos struggled with schooling and education, and came across as highly unmotivated in the classroom. That's probably going to happen if you spend half of your school day sleeping while in class. It isn't to say that he didn't put in any effort - his assignment books were always in order, but he rarely completed tasks while in the classroom. However, work he could bring home and complete he had a much easier time working through.
As he grew up, it was strongly emphasized that he would need to put in more work and effort to get anywhere or be successful. Through both his own effort and with the help of a teacher who cared and a couple of classmates, he figured it out. He managed to find methods to help him both accomplish his tasks and get the rest that he needed. By the end of high school, and at the start of college - he had developed a pretty good pattern of behavior that worked! After schooling he found a job working in accounting - finding that the organization helped him be successful and accomplish things, while also being able to enjoy his free time. He likes when tasks are done!
He currently does the books for Jane Porter's store, and is currently married to her. (Note that this has been discussed by both Fii and myself and is on the up and up!)
AU Personality Differences: There's going to be very few differences in personality! The biggest one is that in canon he had Zagreus as a source of motivation for him as his closest friend. The guy helped him heal his relationships with family, and he never had that. As such, there is some distance that is there still and doesn't seem to be seeking approval from them. Instead, he is motivated by his relationships with the people who are currently in his life and himself. However, Hypnos will still be a friendly, easy to get along with guy. He may tease too hard at times, but it never comes across as cruel. He's still extremely loyal and loves and cares for his family, even though they are distant from him at this time. People are still going to likely see him as being a bit lazy. He is still a very sleepy boy prone to just nodding off at random times.
