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.

Lita Elnaeus / Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan (OC) / Normal AU
Contact:
Invited by: I'm already here, but also I said "what if lita" and Amber's answer to that was "litaaaaaa"
Other Characters: Nina Lora
Character Name: Lita Nia Elnaeus
Canon: Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan (OC, played from the game's setting with no actual ties to plot)
In my EOIV save file, Lita's main class is Dancer and her subclass is Nightseeker. Her element for regain purposes will be Water.
Canon History: lmao, okay, so, the actual Etrian Odyssey wiki itself mostly doesn't have plot deets on it except for Untold if you go digging, for some reason. Instead, as far as relevant linkable things go, EOIV's plot is given a brief summary on its Wikipedia page, and a larger casual explanation of things was posted on the Etrian Odyssey subreddit a few years back.
For potential memory regain purposes, most of the events of EOIV happened, up to a point not terribly long after the Titan's defeat. While she might recall some parts of it since plot did make certain details public knowledge in-game and as such she's aware of some things, Lita herself was not actually involved in any of that because with meme threads as an exception, I generally don't allow my canon OCs to really have direct connections to the plot of the canon they're for.
In Etrian Odyssey in general (unless you play the story modes in the Untold games), the player's party is made up of blank-slate characters, so any personal details regarding them are entirely up to the player. Since I've got Lita down as being uninvolved with plot, that means she gets a mostly-unrelated but canon-friendly background instead. It's nothing super-complicated because her life isn't exactly complicated either, so I'm just gonna keep it simple here:
• Lita is from a family of wandering minstrels and other entertainers that eventually chose to establish a more-permanent home in Etria (the first game's setting). the plot of Etrian Odyssey Untold happened at some point but she's not part of the story mode party so she has zero awareness of any of that.
• she found herself unable to settle down the way her family wanted to, ended up joining a team of explorers because Adventure™, and she was initially little more than a chatty and scatterbrained troublemaker until various incidents and other close calls eventually turned her into probably the most-reliable—and pragmatic—individual on the entire team
• ...reliable enough that when the team learns of another land with its own places to explore, Lita is asked if she wants to help establish a new team there. the prospect of New Stuff™ is an easy way to hook her, so yeah she travels to Tharsis (EOIV's setting) and does exactly that, while remaining in contact with most of her old team (save for two of them, each for different reasons)
• (most of) Etrian Odyssey IV happens while she's there and she has basically nothing to do with it
CanonPersonality: As mentioned above, the player's party is made up of blank-slate types, so this is less of a 'canon' personality and more just the personality I've assigned to Lita.• With few exceptions, Lita openly expresses a like for people in general, making friends quickly and easily. Social situations barely faze her at all, and one could easily argue that she thrives on them. While her presence can be an enjoyable one most of the time, her enthusiasm can get a bit annoying at times, but she can usually tell when she needs to stop and back off. She will try, but she has some difficulty in handling rejection.
• Because Lita does tend to pay attention to the people and things around her, she will eventually notice things about those people or thing, and in regard to people she will try to keep herself in check to avoid becoming too much of a nuisance; if it looks like she can be herself, then she'll do just that, but in situations where it looks like she needs to be more-serious, she'll dial it back at least a little bit but never all the way.
• Lita does believe in second chances, and under most circumstances will be willing to offer one to any individual who had wronged her or otherwise done something seriously bad that she couldn't condone, if they demonstrate that they have learned or are willing to learn from their mistakes. However, should someone Lita has forgiven repeat the same mistakes or do something even worse, then that's it, she's probably done with them (but depending on the circumstances, she might give them another chance again). It should be noted that this mainly applies to serious issues; minor offenses aren't considered an actual problem unless they become a constant-enough thing that they're snowballing into becoming a bigger problem or otherwise getting harder to ignore.
• Even in the worst situations, Lita will try to stay composed and find whatever bit of positivity can be found in the situation, and/or she will remain focused on trying to achieve the best possible outcome given the current circumstances. She is well aware that things won't always go the way she would like them to, though, and won't beat herself up too much over things that have gone south, unless said going-south is a very direct result of her own actions.
• Lita is very willing to get her hands dirty if she finds herself in any situation that would call for it; should she find herself needing to physically defend herself or her friends, she will fight dirty and use whatever is at her disposal.
AU History:
• Lita was born in a small town that, generally, nobody really cares about except people from said town. She's an only child, her dad (Albert) is a band director for some school district in some other town relatively close by, while her mom (Sophia/Sophie) was initially just a stay-at-home sitting on a degree and teaching license of her own. She has one paternal aunt (Claire) who has no children. I am leaving the subject of any aunts/uncles/cousins on her mom's side of the family open in case anyone decides they want to do something there.
• During Lita's elementary school years, her mom accepted a job as a high school dance teacher, so the family moved to the city where that school is so only one parent needs to deal with an actual commute and not both of them. At some point during her middle school years, she met Annalise Delacroix and they've been pretty good friends ever since.
• Lita likes Doing Stuff, so during high school she's kind of all over the place as far as school activities go. The bigger things here are she takes her mom's classes, plays the oboe in band, and is also on the volleyball team for awhile.
• A little while after graduating from high school, she heads to Kaisou to attend college. She has no idea that she's about to get blindsided by any of this.
AU Personality Differences: /shrug?
Welcome!
Please take the following steps before you get started:
Additionally, if you want to make a personal inbox for your character, feel free to do so!
The Libra app will now download onto Lita's phone unexpectedly, and she will notice the change in the sky (northern lights). You are welcome to have her make a network post, or just start tagging around! February's event log can be found here.
There is a group text inbox that your character will be invited to on Friday. This is just an optional thing, so don't worry too much about it right now.
You now have 4 points that can be spent on any Regains for the month. In addition, as a Normal AU, Lita will be allowed to choose one free regain worth up to 3 points to help her get started! Any regains will ICly take effect after the Libra app appears on the phone.
