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.

History: A Realm Reborn (and 1.0), and a very general overview of afterwards, but his personal history is outlined below!
Gwayne was born in a small town in Thanalan. His biological father was a traveler who stopped by and had some fun with his mother, but they'd been reckless. Not that they knew that until the man was long gone to another town. His mother never wanted a child and was considering her options once she'd started showing signs. She found out about a married couple, an Elezen man and a Hrothgar man, who wanted to adopt a child to add to their family. After speaking with them, she agreed to carry out the pregnancy and have them adopt the baby. To honor her, the couple asked if she'd be okay with the child having her surname, and she agreed.
A few years later, she left town without a word. Gwayne was too young at the time to understand her reasons for leaving, but he understood that his fathers were sad she had to go. He'd met her several times before, at least. However, she was still a stranger to him despite that.
Growing up, Gwayne was a gregarious child who loved to make new friends. It was in his teenage years that trouble started. He knew he was good-looking given how others his age were looking at him, and he didn't hesitate to use that to have some fun and experiment, as teenagers do. However, the adult gossips in town started to subtly circulate a rumor that Gwayne was going to be exactly like his biological father: a troublesome homewrecker. He ignored the rumor when it reached his ears, at least for a while.
He started a romantic relationship with one of his best friends, but they ultimately decided they were better off as friends and broke up amicably. Unfortunately, the next two he would enter into weren't so nice. Both were abusive in different ways, though Gwayne hadn't understood that at the time, but it was enough to change his view on relationships in general. After the last breakup, and an ill-timed comment about how he was just like his biological father, he decided to make those rumors right. He understood at that point that there was nothing he could do to make them change their mind. To his parents' disappointment, Gwayne started using his looks and charm to get into a relationship with someone, and then promptly breakup with them when he got bored.
When Gwayne was old enough, he followed his biological parents' footsteps and left town, though he at least told his fathers what he was planning to do and to write to them when he could. He journeyed to Ul'dah to start training as a gladiator and signed up with the Adventurer's Guild. By helping other people and seeing their hardships, the seeds of change were sown. Gwayne still slept around, of course, but he was starting to reconsider some of his views on the world. Not long after, he was awakened to the Echo and began to fall into step with the Scions.
The Battle of Carteneau was when everything changed for him. Gwayne hadn't hesitated to join the defense for Eorzea. He was injured in the early skirmishes, which was where he was reunited with his best friend (and ex) from home, Erin. She healed him, and during the healing gave him a rightfully deserved, blistering tongue-lashing for what he'd done back home. Much chastised, Gwayne truly gave her words thought, and agreed that he'd been a right asshole. Erin then gave him some advice, which he held to this day: "Stop pretending to be your father. He's not the one living your life. Find out who Gwayne is and really live."
Gwayne never saw her again after that.
He was saved from Bahamut's wrath by Hydaelyn transporting him away, and was deposited somewhere in Thanalan five years later. This event left him with a permanent mark between his shoulders, which he took as a sign to reflect and change his ways. Gwayne hitched a ride on a merchant's caravan heading to Ul'dah, and started his journey as the Warrior of Light in A Realm Reborn. The journey would turn out to be the best thing that happened to him, as it helped him to change and become the person he truly was.
Personality:
🌺 Gwayne is a very friendly and cheerful man who likes meeting new people.
🌺 Though very quiet during A Realm Reborn as he figured out who he was, by Endwalker he has grown into himself and has become much more talkative. It's not what it used to be, but he's improving in giving voice to his opinions, especially when he's asked.
🌺 He views being the Warrior of Light as a road to redemption for all the people he's hurt in the past. Despite all those accomplishments, Gwayne still feels that there's more work to do.
🌺 This man can definitely be extra and overdramatic.
🌺 He holds back on his personality a lot. One of the barbs that's stuck to him in his last relationship is that he's 'too much.' Gwayne can definitely be extra, but he tries to not be 'too much' to the point where he'll apologize about it.
🌺 Gwayne has changed greatly in his views on relationships. Whereas before he saw them as a means to an end, he's since realized that this is not true and has made deep, meaningful relationships with his friends in the Scions. He'll always be grateful and loyal to them because of this.
🌺 He loves his dads so much, but he still isn't sure about returning home to visit them. Given that going home means facing his past, he knows that he's simply not ready to face the music yet.
🌺 Speaking of dads, all Gwayne knows about his biological father is that he has his father's hair color. Since he has literally nothing else, he's made it a hard rule to never sleep with or date a white-haired Hyur, especially if they don't know their father. Just in case his father had more children, which is a distinct possibility.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: December this year!
Items: Job stones (Paladin, Dark Knight, Reaper, White Mage, Dancer), Azem's crystal, Paladin armor, sword, shield
Retained Ability: Protection from Corruption - A gift from Hydaelyn that prevents his aether from being corrupted by outside forces.
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!
Gwayne will find himself either in a labyrinth (His hometown, with the layout all changed to be more of maze. No one is around, but he can hear the whispers and rumors that'd be spread about him ) OR he can awaken somewhere in one of the stable gates. Either way, once he manages to exit the spirit realm, he'll find a smart phone along with a book of instructions how to use it. December's event log can be found here.
NOTE: Please note that all his job stones, crystal and equipment will be depowered and will require regain points to repower them.
Since it's December, you now have 8 points (usually it's 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.
