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.
Applications
Please fill out the corresponding application and comment below! Subject should be "PLAYER NAME | CHARACTER NAME | APP TYPE".
| Normal Modern AU | Paranormal Modern AU | Original Universe |
Yuri Leclerc | Fire Emblem: Three Houses | Paranormal Modern AU
Contact: redknightdistrict @ Plurk
Invited by: Me, myself, and I
Other Characters: Will Solace
Character Name: Yuri Leclerc (fake name; his real name is strongly speculated to be Regulus)
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Canon History: Three Houses, Yuri
Canon Personality: 🎵 Yuri constantly looks for ways to manipulate people into getting him what he wants or needs. This ranges from money to supplies to connections. Sometimes this means changing his identity to suit his needs. Sometimes it means selling his body or his blade.
🎵 Anyone he considers to be "his" people have his protection for life, unless they betray him. That being said, earning his trust is really difficult.
🎵 Betrayal tends to lead to death, though Byleth is one of the very, very few people who can persuade him not to take that route.
🎵 Yuri hardly ever does anything for himself. Everything he does, no matter how much it bloodies his hands or stains his soul, it's all for the people of Abyss or to send money to his mom.
🎵 The death of his people always hit him hard. He keeps a notebook full of the names of those he's lost over the years so that they're never forgotten.
🎵 He uses his charm and good looks as a tool to get what he wants/needs.
🎵 He very much hates his father for abandoning him and his mom, and he has absolutely zero desire to find out who he is.
🎵 Yuri doesn't really view himself in a positive light. He sees his actions as a sinner to be unforgivable, but he doesn't regret taking those actions when it means the continued survival of Abyss. He'll sacrifice his soul for them if he has to.
🎵 There's a major implication in his support conversation with Dorothea that he'd been sexually assaulted at least once by a noble because his talent for singing was "good enough" for the noble's fantasy of being with Dorothea. He tells her bitterly that the incident made him feel "filthy and unlovable." As a result, Yuri only ever sings for children and never anyone else.
🎵 Did I mention he's threatened and followed through with murder to anyone who jeopardizes the health and safety of his people? Because he's done that even to Byleth. Though just the once.
AU History: Regulus was raised by a single mom who had divorced her husband before he was born. His father had no interest in ever meeting his son, but he did at least pay for most of the childcare costs. Still, the family lived paycheck to paycheck and his mom barely made enough to make ends meet. When he was in elementary school, Regulus started showing signs that he'd inherited an affinity for magic. His mom was never sure which side of the family he'd inherited it from, and Regulus had no interest in finding out. He had it and he had to train himself in how to actively use his invisibility, since at the time he went invisible whenever he was scared. That was all that mattered.
When he reached high school age, he started working part-time to help bring in a bit more income to help his mom out. Regulus also became more interested in his drama and chorus classes. He showed potential, and his teachers encouraged him to shoot for careers that'd let him use his talent for acting and/or singing. Regulus took that advice to heart. After graduating high school with enough scholarships under his belt to fully pay for college, and with a hard-earned acceptance letter from Juilliard, Regulus started taking classes the following fall. It meant only seeing his mom during the holidays, but she was proud of him and told him not to worry about her.
Regulus took on a stage name around this time and went by Yuri Leclerc. He didn't want the general public to know his real name and bother his mom. This became especially true when Yuri started making a name for himself in Broadway. By the time he'd graduated Juilliard at 22, he'd landed a major role in a Broadway musical, and it jumpstarted his career. The money he made went toward his necessities, savings, and his mom primarily, with only a little leftover for himself.
Yuri was 25 when he had to quit Broadway, even if it was only temporary. He'd been stalked by a "fan" for a couple of months, and then it'd turned violent. Yuri was left bleeding out to death in an alley, which might have been where his story completely ended had it not been for a spirit answering his prayer to continue living. A wolf spirit. He agreed to form a pact with it, and the wolf saved his life. While recovering in a hospital, Yuri pressed charges against the man, but his stalker/attempted-murderer got away with only five years in prison for felony assault of the first degree. Apparently, the fact that Yuri was able to heal so quickly meant that it wasn't serious enough to put that man away for longer. There was one thing that felt good and it was that his would-be murderer had to pay for his hospital costs.
After that incident, he decided to "take a break" and switched career paths. Yuri looked for work outside of New York to get far away from his stalker, since he wasn't sure what the man would do to him after being released from prison. As it turned out, the drama teacher at a high school in Kaisou had quit in the middle of the school year. Yuri applied, scored an interview, and was offered a position as the new drama teacher, which he happily accepted. He informed his mom and used some of his savings to pay for the move out to the Midwest.
That first year was a bit rough, but he survived and found he liked teaching these rambunctious kids. Things just got weirder when his first full year as the drama teacher started with a mysterious app installing itself on his phone.
AU Personality Differences: 🐦 It's easier to earn his trust, though he does maintain a healthy distrust of strangers at first.
🐦 Even after the incident with his stalker, he's still willing to sing for fun with friends and family.
🐦 He doesn't go anywhere near as hard into manipulating people as his past self had to. Yuri certainly has the capacity to do so, but he's never had a reason to in this life.
🐦 Though he still has moral greyness and a relatively low opinion of himself (especially for a Broadway personality), Yuri doesn't have the complicated guilt his past self has.

Purchased Powers: Invisibility (5 minutes, 2 points) and slightly better night vision (1 point)
