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: Yuff
Other Characters: Tifa Lockhart (app to follow soon)
Character Name: Guizhong
Canon: Guizhong Chen
Canon History: Wiki Link
Canon Personality: A gentle and mature lady. In Genshin Impact's lore, she's described to be brilliant and wise but also playful and mischievous, adored by all her people. As the "brains" to Zhongli's "brawn", she was knowledgeable about many things ranging from machinery to agriculture to the arts. She used that knowledge for the good of her people, and took joy from bringing others joy— but she was also the kind of person to be prepared for the worst as well, as evidenced by her decision to create weapons to protect her people. An optimistic realist who was, perhaps, closer to a human than the goddess she really was.
AU History:
— Guizhong was born and grew up in a small town overseas, but her insatiable desire for knowledge very quickly made it possible for her to leave and study at the top schools in the nation.
— She accelerated through her classes and went to university at 15. There, she studied civil and mechanical engineering, and even some bioengineering on the side.
— By her mid-twenties, she had several master's degrees and was putting her knowledge to good use, helping her hometown and other impoverished, rural areas to flourish, while spearheading new, innovative projects in the nation's capital.
— However, not everyone was appreciative of her efforts. One particular town was extremely resistant to change and modernization. Discussions got violent, and Guizhong and her team were forced to leave. The night before they flew back home, they were attacked. Guizhong was stabbed and severely wounded, made worse by a poison coated on the blade. It was only thanks to her team members that she was able to get away.
— Rushed to the hospital and on the brink of death, Guizhong begged the gods for more time. She slipped into a coma just as she thought someone answered her...
— After that, she made a miraculous recovery, but she was still in desperate need of a quiet place to deal with her PTSD. She moved to Kaisou where her extended family lived, and found work as an antique repairer.
AU Personality Differences: None!
Element:
GeoEarthPurchased Powers: Slow aging (3 pts)
Possession: Guizhong is possessed by the Chinese goddess of the moon, Chang'e.
(Not sure if these contract prices are okay or not, let me know if I should change them!)
The first price is that she is unable to physically be around a person she recognizes as a lover. If they try to get close, they'll find their way blocked by mysterious (sometimes comical) means, such as a sudden crowd, a wild animal attack, a strong gust of wind blowing them away from each other, etc. They can still see and talk to each other if they're in the same vicinity, but there'll always be about 100 feet between them.
Her second price is that seeing the moon in any of its phases (save a new moon) puts her in a worshipful stupor of sorts. She will always feel a pull to it, and she has to be watched or restrained, else she'll constantly chase the moon in an attempt to "fly" there, whether it's by walking for hours straight towards it or flinging herself off a cliff.
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 Guizhong's phone unexpectedly. You are welcome to have her make a network post, or just start tagging around! January's event log can be found here.
You now have 4 points that can be spent on any Regains for the month. These regains will ICly take effect after the Libra app appears on the phone.
Guizhong's contract prices have been approved! Make sure to always save room for Chang'e
