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.

AU History:
Crow's parents died when he was young, he never really knew them, and so he was raised by his grandfather— the beloved mayor of a small city who taught his young grandson his love of games (billiards, cards, darts, chess, etc). Or at least... his grandfather was beloved, until a smear campaign brought his career to a screeching halt and he stepped down from political office in consideration of his constituents. Without the excitement keeping his grandfather enthusiastic and engaged, however, he grew listless and ended up dying of illness within a year. Crow was thirteen.
Rather than allowing himself into the foster system, Crow ran away from the city and moved to Kaisou, where he took up residence in the Entertainment District. He'd steal and lie and did anything he has to in order to get by in life, with more than a few uncomfortable months sleeping on the streets. It's a reckless lifestyle and one that ended up seeing him near death at the tender age of sixteen— and that's when he had his first brush with the paranormal. A god had taken some interest in the lad, and agreed to keep him alive for a few... prices.
Well, he's managed to stay alive since then. Who's complaining? Not Crow, that's for sure.
He did manage to scrape enough money together to get a GED when he was eighteen, but he hasn't pursued much beyond that in the way of schooling. He doesn't really have an eye on college, he got it just to prove to himself he could. He's been keeping an eye on the world around him though, biding his time in the underbelly of Kaisou. One day, one day... he'd really like to find out more about that guy who wrecked his grandfather's career with his lies.... But for now, he'll get by on the next grift, looking out for the next mark.
AU Personality Differences: I mean, the only real difference is that he hasn't plotted any terrorism. Other than that, the core personality's pretty much the same.
Element: Shadow
Purchased Powers:
General:
• Sense presence of others within 30 feet [1 point]
• Reduced need for sleep (5hrs) [1 point]
• Low level telepathy (you can send basic images) [1 point]
Possession:
Crow is possessed by a god, though even he doesn't know if it's for good or ill. All he knows for sure is it's what's keeping him going for now....
Contract Prices:
• Cannot Tell Lies. At least, not a direct one— he can manipulate the truth or omit key details, but he cannot blatantly lie.
• Sacrifice. This does not have to be a life (though it can be), but Crow needs to make at least one sacrifice every day— this can range from personal (a day of abstinence) to stealing something in supplication, or even, yes, a life.... but the god within him demands recognition.This must be done specifically with the god in mind at the time, ie he cannot just forgoe sex all day and decide at midnight that oh, this is for the god. Deliberation and intent is the key to this price.
