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: Dante
Other Characters: N/A
Character Name: Lup
Canon: The Adventure Zone: Balance
Canon Point: Right after being fatally stabbed and sucked up into her umbrella, Pre-TAZ's main storyline
History: Lup’s wiki
Personality: The second half of the Tex-Mex Twins, Lup is Taako's identical twin sister. She's a high elf wizard with a love of cooking, high drama, and blowing shit up. She's gregarious and very social, but can come off pretty rude in her effort to be brutally honest. Due to her shitty upbringing, Lup has some Trust Issues™ and takes time to really warm up to people.
Growing up the way she did, Lup is very distrustful of everyone she meets, always expecting the worst of the world and almost always getting proved right. Years of being passed on by relatives or being forced to bounce between moving caravans for shelter has taught her to rely on no one but herself and her twin. Due to this detachment from society, Lup takes great pleasure in bullying the new people she meets. It’s explained in the first episode of The Stolen Century, that their last night on their home planet, the twins decide to hustle idiots in pool at the local bar, winning effortlessly. Instead of simply taking the loser’s money as expected, they decide to take his shoes. Not because they are some sweet kicks or useful or worth anything, but they do it simply to punish him, so that he has to walk home through the streets in shame.
That attitude begins to change over the course of The Stolen Century, if only because during those one hundred years, the IPRE crew all came together as a family, learning to love and trust one another in a way that none of them had ever truly known before. For Lup, she has always just had Taako at her side and that was it. But quite suddenly, she now has five other people she can rely on, five other people who have stuck by her side for a whole century. She might not find herself being able to trust the rest of the world yet, but her circle is slowly but surely growing.
Despite some of her other more questionable actions, Lup can also be seen to have a very fine-tuned moral compass when it comes to decisions that hold real significance. For example, Lup and her brother have absolutely no qualms with looting the bodies of dead robots for spare parts, but she draws a line at harming any that are still functioning. Even with the whole team in agreement to destroy this robot civilization to keep their enemy from growing stronger, Lup stands up fiercely against her dearest friends and family, passionately convincing them all to stand down. Even though her morals can often seem a bit shaky, Lup takes no delight in hurting the innocent, which is made all the worse after watching the horrific destruction her Grand Relic created in Faerun.
Along with that, Lup is often rude, abrasive, loud, overly confident, and reckless. She curses freely and says exactly what she’s thinking, no matter how insensitive it might come off as. When it comes to confrontations, Lup will always be 100% on the side of fight over flight. But, on the opposite end, she’s also courageous, loyal, and selfless to a fault. She would do anything to protect the family that she’s made along the way, even technically giving up her mortal life for the chance to get a one-up on the Hunger by becoming a Lich.
For all of her detachment and faults, Lup is friendly and gregarious, an extrovert in the extreme. She’ll absolutely socialize with anyone and everyone, though she'll quietly be much more picky about the actual people she’ll let in close. She loves pranks and jokes of any kind (especially if she’s the one initiating them), but can also take a good goof from someone else like a champ. When it comes to emotions, Lup is a woman of extremes, feeling the whole spectrum of them intensely. It makes her happiness that much brighter to behold and her wrath that much more terrifying. She's still not as well equipped to deal with serious moments as others with more stable upbringings, oftentimes resorting to jokes to ease the discomfort she feels.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: New arrival
Items: Nothing but her bloodied clothes
Retained Ability: Produce Flame - A flickering flame appears in your hand. The flame remains there for the duration and harms neither you nor your equipment.
Re: Mey | Lup | Original Universe
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!
Lup will find herself either in a labyrinth (it'll look like the IPRE ship but the layout will be more maze like and the ship will seemingly be abandoned and adrift in space ) OR she can awaken somewhere in the realm in March's event log. Either way, once she manages to exit the spirit realm, she'll find a smart phone along with a book of instructions how to use it.
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. These regains will ICly take effect after the Libra app appears on the phone.
