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.

Player Name: Espilan
Contact: [plurk.com profile] Espilan
Invited by: Amber
Other Characters: n/a

Character Name: Nina Lora (aka: Imila Tera)
Canon: original character (information post here, click section headers to expand)
Canon Point: Almost immediately after the third tower. (This is the point where the info post's history section ends.)
History: Refer to the above-linked info post for, among other things, a write-up that goes up to Nina's canon point. The tl;dr of it is that she was given up by her biological parents for her own safety, and then more than a decade later her adoptive older sister decided to be a jrpg protagonist after hearing some news and got herself, Nina, and their friends into some kind of a mess that they'll eventually have to help clean up; she's being pulled right out of the middle of this adventure, and inconveniently enough it happens to be right after some Stuff just went down so she may not be in a super-great place at first.

Personality: Refer to the info post for a write-up. Bullet points are provided below for summary purposes.
• nervous around people she doesn't know well because Reasons, is basically always at least a little worried that she could hurt them
• difficult to anger, but easily makes it clear when she is angered, and just as easily backs down if she realizes she's causing a scene
• ignorant of a lot of things due to sheltered upbringing, is interested in simply learning about things new to her as a result of this
• feels as though she has very little control over her own life, fights this feeling by keeping herself organized but sometimes lets herself slip
• being exposed to cold for too long without adequate protection can potentially mess with her head depending on how cold it is
Note: Depending on who she talks to, Nina goes by either "Nina Lora" or "Imila Tera". Both names are correct; Nina is her birth name, while Imila is the name that was given to her by the family that adopted her. She generally reserves the "Imila Tera" name for use when around her adoptive family or any friends that she feels comfortable enough with, effectively making that name a symbol of her trust, while in regard to anyone else she prefers the "Nina Lora" name.

Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Nina will be an extremely-recent arrival, either still in the labyrinth or having just managed to get out.
Items: A couple layers of clothing, with the visible layer being a dark gray shirt and pants, plus boots, gloves, and a heavy jacket, all matching the aforementioned visible layer with the jacket being slightly darker, and all of this is being worn simultaneously because of course it is. There is a flint and steel tucked away in an inside pocket on the jacket itself.

Retained Ability:
Pyrokinesis: Like other Denicinians, Nina is capable of manipulating fire, but she is canonically pretty weak in this regard due to a lack of experience, which in turn is from a lack of willingness to use this ability (itself out of having had a need to avoid drawing attention to what she is). Flames that are larger than a campfire are difficult for her to handle and become closer to impossible the larger they get; even smaller flames can be dangerous, but should she cause something to really light up, she'll quickly lose whatever control she had over it. She is incapable of creating her own flames and must rely on external methods to do so (hence the flint and steel that she keeps on her just in case she actually needs to make a fire).
Note: Canonically, in addition to the minor pyrokinesis, Nina also has a heat-stealing touch and an intolerance for cold, both detailed in the info post. The touch itself is not being retained (due to pyrokinesis being retained instead) and that by itself will likely change the way she acts around others once she realizes it, but please note that I am planning for her to retain her cold intolerance due to it being a weakness rather than any sort of ability. If the mod wants her to start without that intolerance and leave her wondering why the cold doesn't hurt, I can work with that.

Yeah, you're correct about it being a biological thing. Her having it will force her to deal with with some things (like the weather, for example) differently compared to other people, which might make things interesting.
