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.

Contact:
Invited by: Yuff
Other Characters: Roxas
Character Name: Chongyun (Chongyun Xin for the AU)
Canon: Genshin Impact
Canon History: Here
Canon Personality:
★ Very positive
-- Even if something goes wrong he can make it a positive. Sometimes with creative thinking.
★ Hard working
-- Takes his training to be an exorcist rather seriously. Sometimes too seriously.
★ Determined
★ Stoic
-- Tries very hard to be as calm and collected as possible, which makes him appear standoffish
★ Socially awkward
-- Is so determined to be the best exorcist that he has not had much time for social interactions
AU History:
- Moved to Kaisou when he was little since his family decided this was a better place to settle down and continue the family business. What is the family business? It's not something he was overly concerned with since he had others in front of him who would take it over before Chongyun was considered.
- He'd been raised to always represent the family well, so Chongyun didn't get up to what a lot of other children did. This makes him socially awkward at times since he's not fully caught up to trends and memes. He's especially behind on memes.
- The only real friend Chongyun had for most of his life was Xingqiu. He would sometimes spend his summers with the Feiyun family.
- High school was a strange time for Chongyun. He spent a lot of time watching videos on his phone, especially of the ghost hunting variety. He had attempted to look for ghosts very unsuccessfully on his own and made a failed attempt to create a paranormal club at his school. In the end, Chongyun just became the type of student who went home and studied.
- Since he ended up as a pretty good student due to that, Chongyun managed to get into Kaisou University in the history department. He plans on becoming a historian like a few people in his family have been.
- To fit in better, Chongyun speaks predominantly English. He can understand Mandarin, but don't ask him to reply in it.
AU Personality Differences:
- Doesn't try to contain his excitement as swiftly as with his canon self when with friends
- Since he isn't aware he needs to keep cool to keep his Yang spirit calm, Chongyun might be a little more willing to try spicy foods. Then regret it by passing out from overheating. Rinse, repeat.
- Doesn't want to destroy spirits, but instead catch them on camera. Chongyun wants to get into ghost hunting because it seems exciting, not aware that most of it is just faked for the views.
Element: Water
Purchased Powers:
- Reduced need for sleep (5 HRS) (1 point)
- Withstand temperatures as cold as 0F (-18*C) without a coat (2 points)
