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.

Canon: Attack on Titan
Canon History: a wiki link
Canon Personality: → stoic/calm
- He doesn't really "break down" in any sense until right before he dies. He gets his arm eaten and he essentially tells his troops to go on without him because he's replaceable. He gets tortured while he's a prisoner to the point that he's almost executed but he still stays stoic, he keeps his head in the game even when he's in crippling pain.
- When he does crack it's only in front of his closest friend and confidant Levi Ackerman, and he isn't loud or tantruming, more like letting the mask crack just a little so that Levi can see the vulnerable bits beneath.
→ intelligent
- He's behind all main plans even when he's not yet commander. He games the system to prevent the survey corps from losing expedition funding. He keeps on with machinations like this throughout his career.
- He correctly predicts many things that happen, for example he correctly figures out that one of the titans is actually human (which allowed her to escape) and would fight them again, which is further evidenced by his ordering equipment refueling and so on when they normally wouldn't have needed it yet.
- He orchestrates an uprising, an entire uprising including crowning Historia as queen... from jail. He's in jail for most of that arc and he still plans everything thoroughly.
- His actions allowed others to learn more about the outside world and technology even though he didn't live to see the results.
- He created a formation for the squads to use to travel outside the walls that allowed communication between the troops and for things to essentially turn on a dime whenever something got in their way. It was extremely successful and kept more people from dying.
→ shrewd/calculating/ruthless
- A lot of people have died on his order, but it wasn't a matter of cruelty as they were all soldiers who knew what they were getting into—it's just that he doesn't shy away from sending them to their deaths to further the goals. They knew they would probably die, and still went for it.
- In essentially every arc he's a significant part of, he's at a major disadvantage for many reasons, not the least of which being that he's on the human side of the fight, but even when the cards aren't in his favor he manages to (in part due to his calculating everything to a T) he comes out on top.
→ intensity
- He turns this on and off as necessary. He's very soft with Eren in the beginning because he's trying to cajole him to work with them after Levi beat him publicly. He does proper damage control. That said, not long after that when he realizes there's a mole in the corps he becomes deeply intense, showcasing it in a query he makes to Eren about who could be untrustworthy.
- His other intensity varies: from the No Regrets manga when he screams at Levi to convince him to join the cause, to how he shouts before expeditions to build up the morale of his troops even though he's reminding them of how many of them are going to die. He screams at other points and it always works out for him, one such occasion being when he's leading a suicide charge, pulling the others into it without much issue because his intensity is catching.
→ doubt/guilt
- While he keeps it mostly under wraps, the most blatant show of this being when he imagines himself standing atop a huge pile of dead bodies, those being the soldiers he's sent to their deaths; people who died on his order. In a way he sees himself as a monster because of this.
- There's a point where Levi tries to convince Erwin to not go to the basement in the first place, but he says his dream has priority over humanity's victory, but near his death he seems to feel guilt for this too.
AU History: Erwin grew up in a relatively normal family: his father was a teacher and his mother was a homemaker, so he had a lot of support growing up. His father was passionate in his beliefs, some of which were a little contentious: he had become obsessed with the idea of life on other planets, and it bled into his classes enough that parents kicked up a ruckus and he ended up losing his job when Erwin was still in high school. Though his father was discredited at the time, Erwin still picked up on his father's beliefs and clung to them, inheriting the passion for the unknown. Once he graduated high school he moved on to university, a charming student, if intense and sometimes unnerving in his fervor. Erwin dove into his studies and graduated with honors after working several semesters as a TA for one of the professors of myths and legends. He went on to postgraduate school and by the time he was finished his mentor was retiring, so Erwin took his spot as the quite young myths and legends professor. That's what he does to this day, and though at times during lectures he can get a little impassioned about extraterrestrial life his students normally take it into stride.
He really loves whatever passes for the X-Files here.
AU Personality Differences: He's not quite as intense as his canon self, but he's still pretty high up there. Since things aren't as dire when you're a professor in a university as opposed to a commander overseeing soldiers in a bleak and cruel world, he's a little more laid-back. He still expects obedience from his students, of course, but consequences are obviously milder.
