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.

Other Characters: n/a
Character Name: Sora (Sora Lockhart)
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Canon History: Wikipedia link
Canon Personality: Sora can be described as a young boy who is still learning who he is and learning that there is both good and evil in the world. He’s young but courageous, someone who will readily jump into any situation to help. One might say he’s naive but he does everything with good intentions in his heart. He has a strong sense of justice and right, wanting to help people and defend people who’ve been bullied or wronged. He has an unshakable loyalty to his friends and to the things he believes in.
His outlook on life is optimistic, and he chooses to see the good in everyone first before making any second opinions. He’s protective and understanding and would rather forgive someone for their mistakes than make an enemy of them. The biggest example of this is Riku, who attacks Sora several times and goes as far as to take his keyblade from him, forgave Riku in the end and still claims that Riku is his best friend and a person he cherishes deeply. He never feels as though Riku is evil or meant the mean things he said to Sora and has unshakable faith in Riku. Sora is kind-hearted, forgiving and generous. He does not judge people unfairly and always wears his heart on his sleeve.
As Sora grows he begins to defend his beliefs and actions more openly. He doesn’t let people step all over him and will tell people what he thinks of them. He’s confident about himself and his abilities and feels adamant about doing the right thing. He dislikes selfishness and cowardice and will be the first person to point out someone’s poor actions. Sora talks back to Xigbar when he stands in Sora’s way going as far as trying to egg him into a fight, insults Pete when he’s being villainous and talks back to many other enemies on principle. He stands up for what he believes in and is fiercely passionate.
This makes Sora somewhat reckless, as he tends to leap before he thinks and is impulsive. His impulsive determination is what drives him to do what he does and he does not like to give up. He searches relentlessly for Riku and Kairi during his adventures in Kingdom Hearts II and refuses to stop until he’s found them. Another example of his hastiness is during the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories when he separates from Donald and Goofy to chase after his lead on Naminé that he ends up leaving them behind in favour of running as fast as he can and ends up facing battles alone because of it.
Despite this, Sora knows when he’s done something wrong or made a mistake. He’s humble and will admit when he’s wrong. It is easy for him to apologize and to make amends with friends. He quickly apologizes to Donald and Goofy after they reunite for being hasty and smooths things over.
It’s Sora’s empathy for people that also stands out. It is easy for him to feel for others and to understand their feelings or what they’re going through. When Roxas returns to Sora’s heart in the prologue of Kingdom Hearts II, Sora instantly feels sadness for Roxas and understands his loneliness. Various other examples of his empathy are his drive to help Mulan prove herself, his understanding of Simba’s need to overcome his fears of being King and William’s urge to protect Elizabeth. He encourages and supports these friends and understands their goals and ambitions and often relates their experiences to his own.
Another defining trait for Sora is his honesty and his humility. During the events of Kingdom Hearts: DDD, Sora participates in the Mark of Mastery exam with Riku. Upon completion, Riku is named the new master and Sora isn't. Sora feels only joy and pride for Riku’s success and feels absolutely no jealousy, irritation for not passing. He understands he still has things he has to work on and can still improve as a person and a keyblade wielder.
Which also defines Sora ability to nurture people. He tends to bring the best out of people such as Beast when he feels unable to save Belle; Sora manages to convince him to be the strong person he is and to protect his loved ones again. Sora also readily allows Ventus into his heart to heal and desires for Roxas to become his own person. He makes his friends want to be the best versions of themselves and does his best to support them in any way he can.
In the current canon, he has gained some maturity. He seems to listen to what others are saying more often and isn’t as confused about the things going on around him. He is genuinely curious and instinctive. He is shown telling the others that they need ask Riku about how to get into the Realm of Darkness long before they actually accept the fact that they need to get there. He’s no longer the clueless kid that he used to be and he’s better at catching on, following through with plans and understanding tasks put in front of him.
He is also generally more charismatic, sassy and sharp with his words when he’s talking to other people. His jokes are fluid, his honesty is sharp as a knife and he’s better at explaining things to others.
Sora also shows a vulnerable side which shows that Sora is actually quite fragile when he thinks he’s alone. While he overcomes these fears in the same space it is clear that Sora has doubts and fears in himself about how strong he really is with or without his friends. He screams and shows tears when he’s overcome with these fears and even goes as far as calls himself worthless without support. Sora knows and that he’s just one boy and he still has things he’s afraid of and insecurities about worthlessness he needs to face.
Sora also shows more of a temper or is able to snap when he’s pushed far enough or witnesses an injustice. Some examples of this are when Sora jumps onto Davy Jones’ back to punch him in the face when he witnesses William Turner’s death. Another example is that Sora’s Antiform has evolved into a Rage From which shows that Sora holds some deep emotions of rage and hurt in his heart. This rage more than likely stems from all the hurt he’s seen in his life, growing up with so much responsibility and the frustration in wanting to save his friends. And most importantly from darkness in his heart.
Sora has other certain flaws too. He is often easily confused or angered when he doesn’t understand something such as getting repeatedly frustrated when being called Roxas in Kingdom Hearts II or getting into childish arguments with Donald. He can be gullible as well such as not recognizing that Mulan is a female until he’s directly told. Additionally, he is often teased by his friends that he’s oblivious or dimwitted. For instance, by Riku and Joshua on Sora’s slow uptake on the situations occurring during Kingdom Hearts: DDD.
AU History:
- Sora was raised in Kaisou in the same little house near the beachfront. Born and raised and he has never left Kaisou for his entire life. As much as that has made him a small-town boy he has big dreams about the future and hopes that someday he can save up enough money to travel the world.
- Although half Japanese he doesn't know the language. He was born to a larger family and is cousins with Tifa Lockhart. He lives at home with his parents and has recently finished high school at age Eighteen.
- Born to a talented family of musicians and artists it was natural for Sora to pick up something along those lines as well. He took to creative outlets online such as streaming and blogging and eventually became a Twitch streamer for whatever he feels like for the day. Be it video games, cooking, trying to build a birdhouse and failing or even singing. He has gained quite a decent following and helps his parents pay rent with his income.
- Sora is done high school but has no plans to go for post-secondary education. He's more than happy to live in the moment and follow his dreams of travelling someday. He has such a busy streaming schedule who has time for classes?
- He has an easy life where socializing and helping his family are his main day-to-day activities. Or playing with his dog and pet duck, Goofy and Donald.
AU Personality Differences:
- More openly flirtatious and confident when it comes to others as it's part of his charm as an online streamer.
- Can lose his temper a little more readily if he's provoked.
