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.

Invited by: MYSELF because I'm already in the game!! So there!!
Other Characters: Rean, Ris
Character Name: Emma Millstein
Canon: Trails of Cold Steel, 15 Strangers Round 4/6 CRAU
Canon History: Here, up through the Trails of Cold Steel II section.
As for the CRAU portion: Post-CS1, Emma got isekai'd to a magical murder castle. She had to deal with a lot of guilt about Rean getting yeeted away on Valimar AND had to watch her new friends die, so that was Great™ for her psyche. Then, during week 4, she was accused of murdering her little brother figure, a crime she didn't commit. She even got voted guilty, and was about to be executed for it except that something stepped in at the last minute to save her. Unfortunately, two days later she got her soul ripped out and died anyway, despite a seriously awesome fight scene full of Peter Man metaphor. RIP. No one from her group was revived at the end of her round.
Arthur Charles, one of her friends and confidants (and crushes) in the murder castle, got re-isekaied later on. He proceeded to not die long enough to help destroy the Big Bad, partially by declaring his love for her, which she got to witness from the afterlife. She somehow managed to not double-die of sheer embarrassment and feelings, and thanks to the Power of Love, got brought back to life.
She and Arthur decided to strike up a relationship, but first they both needed to go back to their home universes to deal with everything being on (somewhat literal, somewhat metaphorical) fire. They agreed to meet again someday and adventure together, though.
Unfortunately, Emma went back home and then CS2 happened, so that's Great™. That's where I'm calling her canon point for now!
Canon Personality:
AU History: Emma's family has always been a little... well... weird. For as long as she can remember, her family has dabbled in magic— potions and medicines, spells, reading the future... and honestly, all of the members have an affinity for animals such that they may as well have animal familiars, even if they can't strictly communicate. Emma's not really sure what they are, and her grandmother— the family matriarch— has never really bothered to give a name. Or any explanation, really. She seems to be kind of allergic to those.
Emma lost her mother when she was young (and her father has never been in the picture— Emma hasn't the slightest who he is or might be), so she and her elder sister were raised by their grandmother. Her grandmother did want her to experience the world outside their little corner of it, so Emma has always attended public school, although she never really got close with many people. She was widely ostracized for being strange, because despite having it drilled into her that magic was to strictly remain a secret, little bits of her family heritage always slipped through the cracks.
Her sister has since left the family to pursue her own dreams. Her grandmother is running a scam fortune-telling business (while knowing full well it's all a scam, of course— she could do a real reading, but hey, the customers want the ~drama~!). And Emma herself is now 16, in high school, and while she's still not doing great socially, she's at least on the fast track to becoming the class valedictorian.
AU Personality Differences: Not really that much to note!
