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.

Tachibana Hinata | Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout | OU
Contact:
Invited by: Michi (I'm sure Yuff or TF will vouch for me too,,,)
Other Characters: N/A
Character Name: Tachibana Hinata (Japanese order)
Canon: Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout (Fantasy Bishoujo Juniku Ojisan to)
Canon Point: After Volume 5, chapter 68 (which should be around where the anime season ends too)
History: The actual wikipedia page has episode summaries for what's out of the anime, but that's about it. So have a real history section!
Tachibana Hinata is an average 32-year-old office worker. If anything set him apart, it was the friends he kept - or specifically, his best friend, Jinguuji Tsukasa, an incredibly handsome, insanely talented, level-headed, and freakishly adept man that Tachibana grew up with.
Tachibana and Jinguuji became friends as children, when Jinguuji saved Tachibana from some bullies. Tachibana always respected Jinguuji's strength, good nature, and skill, and saw him as a hero. In return, Jinguuji was drawn to Tachibana's friendliness, openness, and ability to draw others to him.
Then one day, heading home drunk after a mixer, Tachibana wished he could be reborn as a pretty girl so that he could be as popular as Jinguuji. A goddess overheard his wish, and transported Tachibana and Jinguuji into her world, where she gave Tachibana the body he had wished for - a peerlessly beautiful girl - and declared that Tachibana was a hero meant to defeat the demon lord.
Unfortunately, her new body was laughably weak. But Jinguuji was there, ever Tachibana's hero, and strong enough to stand up to anyone and anything that would threaten her. The powers Tachibana was given, more like curses, caused a lot of problems - including causing a lot of confusion between her and Jinguuji as they began to fall for each other. Was it because of Tachibana's charm effects, or...?
They've been through a lot in their new world - learning about their powers, fighting monsters, fighting more monsters, leading a revolution, even fighting each other. But in the end, their bond always paves the way for their triumphs.
Before arriving, the last things Tachibana did were pilot a giant fantasy-mech against Jinguuji, have an extremely tear-fueled heart-to-heart, find out about the demon lord's location, and then... suffer the Charmed effect herself upon seeing a shirtless Jinguuji. And then, she gets to wake up somewhere strange and new... again!
Personality:
Tachibana wants to be friends with everyone - this is something that was true for her childhood, adulthood, and even more recently. In school, she was surrounded by friends. At work, she was always trying to befriend her juniors. And in the fantasy world she was reincarnated into, she still makes friends easily, making every attempt to be sociable with those around her.
She's genuinely friendly and kind. She'll be the one to say they need to save somebody, or help somebody in need, even if it's not practical. And it's not heroism, she just immediately jumps into doing the right thing because it's the right thing without thinking about it.
The flipside to her friendliness and good nature is that Tachibana hates confrontation. People being upset with her or disliking her upsets her, and she can't deal with it. Even people being upset at OTHER people upsets her, making her feel like she's on the receiving end herself. That's one of the reasons she tries so hard to smooth out social situations, calm everybody down, and settle things peacefully. It might be a negative, but it's led to a useful skill for her. Especially with Jinguuji - it balances out, since Jinguuji is very stubborn and refuses to compromise.
She does take it too far at times, though. She has no pride when it comes to pacifying somebody, completely willing to take blame, grovel on the ground, or just, in general, refuse to stick up for herself. This is another place where having Jinguuji with her balances things out, since Jinguuji will stick up for her when she won't stick up for herself.
Another sticking point with Tachibana is her jealousy. When she sees people that have something she doesn't, she feels jealous, wishing she could have whatever it is - skill, popularity (in romance specifically,) dashing good looks. She feels like she doesn't have anything good actually going for her, and when she sees the things she desires in others, it can lead to darker feelings.
So it could be said that Tachibana doesn't have a lot of self-esteem. This is true. She doesn't see her own good side, and fixates on the negatives when it comes to herself. It doesn't help that her best friend in the world has everything that she wishes she had - even when he views her as the best.
Under it all though, Tachibana has fairly average habits and tastes. She enjoys video games and manga, has fairly typical tastes, enjoys going out and drinking and always has some beers on hand. But she's always looking out for others and that's what counts.
It should be stated that as an on-going series featuring a genderbent protagonist, the final verdict on Tachibana's gender isn't in. She claims to be a guy, and it's possible the series will end with her returning to her original body. But given several scenes about the matter, and her general willingness to engage with (plus ease and lack of distress in) appearing and acting female, I'm rolling with a "trans woman whose egg hasn't cracked" reading, but willing to course-correct if more information comes out in the manga later.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Present day, present time
Items: Her travel outfit (pink jacket w/ ribbon, white dress, black leggings, fingerless gloves, boots, boxers) and her magic... tiara-thing (effect: makes people's eyes pass over her unless she draws attention to herself. I'm unclear if item effects are also depowered, so please let me know, but I'm fine either way.)
Retained Ability: Status: Tachibana can view the status of herself and others by summoning up an old-school RPG-like interface. This display exists in real space and can be viewed by others. The displayed information includes name, occupation, level and stats corresponding to strength, agility, intelligence and luck. In addition to that, it shows the subject's active and passive skills.
In addition, Tachibana operates on a sort of RPG-like logic. When afflicted by a status effect, a small display (also visible to everybody around her) will show the status. She can gain "EXP" and level up, though the rules for it are unclear. The only stat Tachibana has that will grow is Luck - Intelligence remaining firmly at 50 and both Strength and Agility are locked to 1.
...I don't know how to weaken the skill itself, so maybe being weakened just means that Tachibana's level is reset to 1.
Special Note: Tachibana's main canon "power" (curse) (that she'll likely regain fairly shortly) is called "Perfect Beauty" - it basically charms everybody who looks at her. Extremely - to the point of causing a horde of bandits to fight each other to the death over her, or have a village worship her like a goddess. I plan on putting up an opt-out/opt-in when she regains this; explaining it as not being regained at full strength, so people with more willpower can resist it. But feel free to advise me if I need to do anything else for that.
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!
Tachibana will find herself either in a labyrinth (It's cubicle hell. A crazy large labyrinth of cubicles filled with outdated tech, motivational posters, and passive aggressive memos) OR she can awaken somewhere in the realm in February's event log. Either way, once she manages to exit the spirit realm, she'll find a smart phone along with a book of instructions how to use it.
As for her powers:
- The tiara she'll be able to keep, but it will be depowered until its regained.
- The Status power is fine for her retained power! Tachibana will be able to read NPC statuses fine, but player characters and certain plot-relevant beings' info might be glitchy (aka giving players the option to opt-in/out of it. If any plot-relevant beings are not scannable I will let you know).
- And thanks for letting know about Perfect Beauty! Allowing players to opt-in/opt-out is reasonable. I would also say in order to keep it from being too gamebreaking, the effects of her skill, once regained, will require the person to be looking directly at her. Once she's out of their direct line of sight, the effects will wear off after 60 seconds. This is so we don't end up with all of Kaisou worshipping her or turning into the Trojan War over her. In addition, she must activate the power herself, otherwise it will be in off mode. Does this sound reasonable?
You now have 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.

Also this is her journal.
Thanks~
