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.

Other Characters: The Shadow Lurking Behind You
Character Name: Momo (Nina Quatro in the AU)
Canon: OC
Canon History:
- Imagine a whimsical setting with candy cotton sinkholes, meat forests, and the like. In that world, the Evillands were areas full of evil energy to the point where it could corrupt the inhabitants, for example turning dog into hellhounds.
- An experimental to create a pacified hellhound accidentally created a powerful hellhound/human hybrid called Momo who combined the worst impulses of hellhounds and humans.
- Momo proceeded to take over every hellhound pack in sight, mustering a huge army that she led to terrorize the world.
- Many towns and cities fell to her army and their inhabitants became dog food.
- However, an anti-Momo alliance formed and after an exhausting war, finally managed to kill her by hounding her into a candy cotton swamp where she fell victim to a trap and drowned in candy cotton.
Canon Personality:
- Super sadistic
- Prone to flying into fits of rage if something goes wrong, often resulting in someone's death
- Gluttonous and has a sweet tooth
- No remorse and little empathy
- Loves praise and positive attention and will force people to give her those
- Extremely loyal to the few that she cares about
- Actually rather smart when she isn't giving in to one of her impulses
AU History:
- Born to an Italian family including Suzi Quatro as a sister, Nina turned out to have sadistic tendencies as a child. She ended up hurting another child enough for them to be sent to a hospital (nothing serious, just a few stitches). That resulted in her parents putting her into therapy.
- Nina grew up seemingly more well-adjusted after that. But really that was more her deciding to pretend to be nice because it made people like her more. Also not wanting to upset her
packbeloved family.- A big thing was her telling her parents she was a girl. Nowadays she's on HRT. Treats LBGTQ folks as sorta a loosely affiliated pack.
- After Suzi decided to stay in America, Nina and Suzi's parents decided to move to America to be closer to their oldest daughter, and Nina went with them.
- Working hard, Nina became one of the popular girls in school--good at academics, sports, pretty, and likable. Also a model and even acting in a few local ads. All this to get praise. At home she'd relax with some gory media including violent video games.
- She asked out another popular girl and got shot down. She's still trying to get a girlfriend to this day.
AU Personality Differences:
The biggest difference between Momo and Nina is that Nina is actually trying to manage her worse impulses. Like, all those traits are still there, but actual consequences for hurting another child and the resulting therapy, as well as her loyalty making her want to make her
packfamily happy, resulted in her concluding that it was better to get along with society and play by its rules. Instead of indulging her worst desires she uses video games as a vent for her sadistic desires and seeks to garner positive attention by performing actions that others will find praiseworthy, such as getting as good grades as she can, being nice to people, and doing volunteer work for charities.This isn't exactly a perfect facade, though. Occasionally a crack in the mask shows. Also she thinks she's clever for figuring out the basic social construct.
