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:
Born in a foreign country and abandoned as a child, Killia had very little hope to live life. Stuck on the streets and homeless, Killia was left with very few options in way of surviving the world. In a land of cold winters and little in the way of public or private support, Killia saw the world as an unpleasant, ugly place. Surviving primarily on what he could steal or take from others by force, he grew up as a hardened, uncaring young man. His disillusionment and tough lot in life led him to be fiercely independent and mistrusting of others... while also being thuggish, ambitious, and selfish. Though murdering people was not something he did, he certainly committed his share of robberies, muggings, and beatings to get what he wanted... and to show fellow criminals he wasn't to be trifled with. This was thanks in part to having an uncanny gift for fighting and self-taught martial arts, not only able to read his foes moves but flow seamlessly between strikes with brutal precision. He quickly climbed the ranks of the local underworld, despite a young age.
This continued until about the age of 19, when something unforeseen happened. Being at the wrong place at the wrong time, or perhaps, the right place at the right time, Killia got swept up in a supernatural affair... one that he did not recognize as such. Unable to see or understand the supernatural, Killia got offered a quick job to help one of the parties involved. Something quick and easy to do, suspiciously so. But he took it on with some reluctance because the money talked. Inadvertently, he subdued a supernatural rogue during this stint, which earned him respect and another reward: a chance to move elsewhere. He thought about turning it down, but years of a hard life in his home had painted a target on his back, and he was very tired of looking over his shoulder. Though he was tough enough to continue in this if he had to, something convinced him to take a shot at this... and maybe find a different way to live.
Next thing he knew, he was on a flight to the United States, and the city of Kaisou. Essentially given a shot at a new life, he quickly adjusted, taking the last name "Almus," as he had none before. Using the payoff from the previous job, he put a down payment on a small apartment. Next was finding a job, and a help wanted sign on a nearby family restaurant, The Paradise Taste, was a ticket to that. The family was friendly, understanding, and looked past his grim and hard exterior, and hired him on as a general staff member... essentially the "do whatever we need you to do" role at first. One of those roles included cooking, which he quickly learned, and quickly excelled at.
In fact, in a short time, Killia figured out how to improve several family recipes with a little experimentation and research, leading to an increase in business. Now doing better than ever, Killia is a fixture in the kitchen and sitting area in the Paradise Taste, and is all but a new son to the family running it... though he himself does not share in the sentiment. Openly, at least.
Truth be told, while he has no reason to distrust the family at this point, he does not believe he is worthy of such a position given his past transgressions. Nor does he feel particularly worthy of the warmth and kindness the family shows him, despite his chilly and distant nature. Still, he does his job there, working hard and picking up extra work as needed with minimal fuss. While not the greatest waiter in the world in that he has difficulty wearing a smile, his work is diligent, quick, accurate, and reliable.
For once, Killia finally feels like his life is stable, after about six months or so in Kaisou. Sometimes still hard, but... gratifying enough, in its mundanity.
...That won't last long.
AU Personality Differences:
Generally minimal. The extremes of his past life's personality are *less* severe, owing to the setting difference. Not being a Netherworld filled with incredibly powerful demons did not require the sheer amount of bloodthirsty violence that canon would've required. Moreover, Liezerote, Goldion, and Void not being part of his life has left his personality change less tied to that family. That comes from both the humbling experience he had, and just... being tired of how that life was going.
Essentially as such, a lot of his past is toned down to be reasonable for a modern, mundane setting. In addition, his change isn't immediately owed to any one person, and his opening arc leaves him with no reason for seeking revenge like he does in canon. Instead, Killia is more interested in building a life for himself which sucks less, and making an active effort to be a better person this time.

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 Killia's phone unexpectedly, and he will notice the change in the sky (northern lights). You are welcome to have him make a network post, or just start tagging around! March'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 due to being a Normal AU, she has a one-time free regain that can be redeemed for a regain up to 3 points. These regains will ICly take effect after the Libra app appears on the phone.
