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.

AU Name: James Alexander ‘Jamie’ Carter
AU Birthday: July 31, 2003
AU History: James Alexander Carter, or Jamie for short, was born to a loving couple in Kaisou: his mom, an English high school teacher, struggled with infertility before she and his dad, a pediatrician, got lucky in having him after trying and praying for a child for so long. Realizing that they may not have more kids in the future and acknowledging that there are many displaced children who deserve a loving home, they decided to adopt three more kids, all younger than him, so he wouldn’t feel lonely at home. Having loving parents who look after him and siblings who look up to him showers him in so much love and gives him a stable life. With his mom’s teaching background, he learns to love reading and writing at a young age: he would read almost every book he could get his hands and get lost in various worlds. With his dad’s past as a swimmer, he got into swimming very early in his toddler years, making him feel one with the waters that he wants to swim competitively at school. Reading plenty of newspapers with dad every morning soon gives him an idea to become a journalist himself: he wants to find what lead to many things happening in the world and report on the latest news.
When he was five years old, Jamie was reading old books in the city library during the winter when he feels something weird, the feeling of being drawn to the supernatural rumored to be felt within the city and sensing the presence of spirits lurking within the library. Jamie was a little weirded out by the thought of feeling the presence of spirits and he did try not to think too much about it until he got out of the library and he is shocked to discover that he can tolerate the cold without a coat (he forgot to put it on while running out to the library entrance) to some degree. Then it gets super weirder while he was washing dishes after dinner that he notices the water in the sink moving by the movement of his hands. It scares him for life that he really didn’t want to discuss about his supernatural experiences to anyone publicly, not to mention that he has been trying to hide his water magic for a long time. He also excels very well in school: being in the swimming team, getting above average grades (with History and English being his best and Chemistry his worst), writing for the school paper, and being the member of the book club. At the moment, Jamie is a second year college student studying Major in Journalism and Minor in Creative Writing at Kaisou University. In addition, he works hard as the captain of the mens swim team, a news writer for the university’s newspaper, and a part time cafe barista.
