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.

Contact: PM /
Invited by: Yuffster!
Other Characters: n/a
Character Name: Abel Nightroad
Canon: Trinity Blood
Canon History: Here
Canon Personality:
→ Guilt-ridden, self-hateful creature of remorse. Seeking atonement, yet quick to state he will not achieve it as he's unable to forgive himself
→ Reckless with his well-being and masochistic
→ Big ol' bleeding heart
→ Wears facades to appear harmless and more easily gain the trust of others
→ Deeply sentimental and easily swayed by matters of the heart
→ Afraid of himself, afraid of being feared, afraid of hurting others
→ Pacifist who deals in absolutes: all life is precious and he seeks understanding, even for his enemies
→ Perpetual manchild who takes a gross amount of delight in playing around/teasing with those he's fond with
→ Forms attachments easily and becomes very invested in the well-being of others, deeply compelled by their pain and happiness
→ Big Sad
AU History:
→ Abel and his twin brother were snatched up from the foster system at a young age by an underground organization known as Krusnik
→ Cue gross child experimentation regarding possessions; his brother ended up losing his life after a Possession Gone Wild in his late teen years. Abel escapes the facility with some help from the inside during the chaos. He's now on the outside for the first time since he can remember, a possessed kid with a chip on his shoulder and absolutely no social skills. It goes real well.
→ He spends the next portion of his life going off the deep end attempting to plot revenge on Krusnik with plans to burn it all to the ground and deeply bitter about a world that had failed him and children like him
→ Except during his act of vengeance, he stumbles upon a survivor among the children slotted for human experimentation: Jun. He rescues the boy and, knowing no one else is going to understand him/is equipped to help assimilate him to life outside, decides to take care of him until Jun is adjusted. Spoiler: Abel ended up getting Really Attached. They've been together ever since
→ They relocate to Kaisou in the states to put distance between themselves and Krusnik's remnants. Abel formally adopts Jun after money changes hands several times to get them passable paperwork to back up their identities. Jun enters school; Abel picks up odd-jobs. They barely make ends meet in a shitty little apartment with paper walls and some guy who cries at 3am as their neighbor. It's sketch for a long time before life is falling into a groove but they make it work.
→ Years pass and somehow the 'soft dad' act is less an act and more genuine day by day. Abel is now officially a big softie and Jun is looking at pursuing a genuine career in the arts and animation. They no longer live in the Sad Apartment. It's nothing big, but it's theirs, and it's nice enough. Life is good.
AU Personality Differences:
→ Abel's major guilt complex isn't nearly as Major, since there's a distinct absence of the whole genocide and soulmate beheaded thing. Same with the self-loathing. He has regrets, but they're much less crushing
→ His pacifism comes less from maintaining Lilith's ideals and more to avoid making waves in AU-land. He just wants a quiet life and has let go of the whole violence thing by choice of his own
→ Abel had a healthy turnabout at a much younger age and is better adjusted for it!! Amazing. Raising Jun gave him a purpose and it's been incredibly good for his well-being
→ Less inclined to hold back if provoked to anger (namely if those he's protective over are endangered), though getting Abel angy is still notably hard
→ Actually values his life?? And wants to live it???? Incredible.
Element: I won't be giving Abel any elemental affinity at this time! (Though if I did, it'd be Shadow as any self-respecting vampire must slink around menacingly.)
Purchased Powers: 2 in Enhanced vision, 1 in better than average hearing!
Possession: Naturally, Abel is possessed by a high-level vampire. The contract requires feeding (of the blood-sucking variety) from live human or animal donors... voluntarily or otherwise.
