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.

Mewtwo | Pokemon: Genesect and the Legend Awakened | OU
Contact:
Invited by: Me
Other Characters: Mirabel Madrigal, Napstablook (Paranormal AU)
Character Name: Mewtwo
Canon: Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened
Canon Point: In the middle of the fight between her and Genesect
History: Here
Personality: Mewtwo possesses a serious attitude, speaking in an authoritative way. The way she talks to others is very direct, to the point where people could mistake her for bossing them around when she's legitimately trying to help. For example, when she finds the newly revived Pokemon, Genesect, wandering in the mountains, she demands instead of asks that they come with her. The leader of the Genesect tells her to not give them orders, and retaliates by attacking her. Mewtwo does take matters into her own hands, determined to help the Genesect her way instead of slowing down to find a better solution. Despite her serious personality, she isn't completely incapable of having fun. She's seen racing with other bird Pokemon, and seems interested in testing the limits of her Mega Y form, which she transforms into and attempts to push past the boundaries of Earth's atmosphere.
Although Mewtwo wants to learn about her own power, the source of her power is tied to her strong dislike of humans. She was created by scientists and subjected to horrific and painful experiments to test the limits of her abilities. When she finally escaped the lab, Mewtwo realized she had no "home" to go to, and no place where she belonged. The only world she knew was the lab where she was tortured. She's painfully aware that she doesn't belong in this world. After escaping, she saw everyone, especially humans, as a threat. Considering how scientists hired a Pokemon hunter to recapture her, she's not exactly wrong in that assumption.
Despite Mewtwo's cold and distrusting attitude towards humans, she doesn't actually hate them or wish any harm on them. She saves Anna, her grandfather, and their Stoutland from falling to their deaths during a hiking trip in the mountains. When the Genesect's leader battles her and launches an attack into an apartment building full of people and Pokemon, she gets angry and tells the Genesect to stop. And despite saying that she only wanted to help the Pokemon, she still saves Ash and his friends from a Genesect attack when she could've only saved their Pokemon.
Mewtwo does feel guilt, as well as a reluctance to get close to both humans and Pokemon, due to the trouble that follows her. She knows her place as a powerful weapon created by humans, and how those humans will go to any lengths to find her. When a battle with a Pokemon hunter causes a forest fire that ends up trapping a Pokemon rescue team that tried to help her, she blames herself because they tried to save her. She ends up putting out the fire using telekinesis to move water from a nearby lake. The rescue team tries to thank her, but she coldly tells them to forget they saw her, in an attempt to distance herself from humans and Pokemon alike.
Of course this plan to distance herself from others fails when she tries to take shelter in a cave from a storm. Mewtwo collapses from the injuries she sustained from her previous battle with the Pokemon hunter. A group of Pokemon care for her through the night, that being the first time she's experienced any kind of genuine compassion from someone else. From that point, she starts to form a bond with the Pokemon that saved her, and live among them peacefully. She has a strong desire to protect any Pokemon she sees from harm, such as when she hears the Genesect in trouble and rushes to their aid. Similarly, she steps in and forms a protective barrier around the Pokemon from Pokemon Hills when the Genesect attack them and try taking over their home.
All the trauma and sense of not belonging is why she ends up heavily sympathizing with the Genesect, after learning that they were searching for their home after being resurrected from fossils and physically altered in a lab. While they refuse to listen to her, Mewtwo is determined to find a place for the Genesect to belong, knowing full well how painful it is to live in an unfamiliar world. Their aggressive, hateful attitude, and their desperate searching for a home are all things she sees in herself when she first escaped the scientists who created her. She wants the same thing for them that she finally managed to find for herself. It ends up being Ash's dedication to stopping the Genesect army and herself from fighting, as well as wanting to find the Genesect a new home, that finally gets Mewtwo to open herself up to a friendship with other humans. As well as the Genesect.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Immediate
Items: Nothing
Retained Ability: Telepathy
*This is the character I will be switching out Spinel for, if that's ok!
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!
Mewtwo will find herself either in a labyrinth (the labs where she was created, except they're empty and the layout is all warped ) OR she can awaken somewhere in the realm in March's event log. Either way, once s/he 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.
