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.

Ken Amada | Persona 4 Arena Ultimax | OU
Contact: Plurk: Rosemotifs
Invited by: TF
Other Characters: Antonio Madrigal
Character Name: Ken Amada
Canon: https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Persona_4_Arena_Ultimax
Canon History: https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Ken_Amada
Personality: Hardworking, mature, and studious.
Those are the words that would describe Ken Amada. Ever since he lost his mother at a young age, he was someone who forced himself to grow up. Despite life’s circumstances, Ken manages to be resilient and turn out to become a better version of himself.
One of the first things that stands out about Ken is how mature he is. Throughout Persona 3, people have commented how he doesn’t act like his age. Between going to the shrine often, training, and being polite, he never allows himself a day off. This was proven as Junpei mentioned if he was secretly an old man. While it wasn’t stated in canon, there is this message that he is someone who is so mature and hard working, he frequently is the envy of many students. In Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight, he stated that he gets lots of love letters from girls because of how studious he is. With this, he comes across as someone who acts really cool for his age. Additionally, he frequently uses Japanese honorifics to everyone around him as a way to prove how mature and polite he is.
However the most prominent example of his maturity is during the events of the Answer. When everyone was fighting over if they should bring the male main character back to life, Ken said that they shouldn’t. He stated that it was the male main character’s choice to give up his life in order to save them. He wouldn’t dare go against his wish as it would be disrespectful to him. This shows how mature he is for someone his age.
However, with this sense of maturity, he doesn’t have the most favorable outlook on life. Once again, he is someone who lost his mother at a young age and nobody believed the real reason for her death. Due to this, he has this sense that adults (and people in general) only want to believe what they want to believe regardless if it’s a lie. He doesn’t trust people in general as he is never sure of what their true intentions are. This was proven as he was left by himself after his mother’s death. While he has financial support from family members, he didn’t have anyone to give him comfort. Furthermore, he also told Shinjiro (his mother’s killer) how people only give him pity. It had gotten to a point where he would kill himself after killing Shinjiro. The reason was how he didn’t have a reason to live once his revenge was done. This further shows how much he doesn’t have a positive outlook on life as he believes people only want to get the most out of others.
Luckily, after the events from The Answer, he is slowly starting to see the good in humanity as he can see people are emotionally fragile. After what he's been through, he only wants to help others to overcome their problems.
Finally, Ken is someone who is extremely resilient. Despite witnessing his mother’s death, fighting at a young age, and dealing with psychological trauma of facing death, he manages to come out a strong and determined young boy. After battling his friends and seeing the reason for the male main character’s death, he does come to realize that he needs to form bonds with others to help humanity as a whole. He is slowly trying to be empathetic and kind to others. This was shown as he never blamed Yukari for everything during The Answer and instead sympathized with her as he wanted to see their dead friend back.
Despite how empathetic and cool headed he can be, Ken is very emotional. He might not show it but his emotions do get the better of him as he allows it to nearly get himself killed. It was his emotions of anger, sadness, and regret that made him not think clearly to the point where he’ll go so far to kill someone. He even stated himself that his own emotions of how he didn’t want to be alone drove him to go so far. Furthermore, when someone teases him to state how he should act his age, he would occasionally tell them off. Additionally, Ken is still a kid as he doesn’t know how to control his own emotions just yet. While he is getting better (such as allowing himself to make good judgment when he’s calmer), it would occasionally pop up.
Since Ken can be emotional, he comes across as childish. He tries hard to make himself look like an adult, it serves himself as a reminder that he’s still a kid. Throughout his canon, he tries various ways to make himself look mature such as drinking milk to grow taller (despite how it hurts his stomach), drinking black coffee (even though he hates it) and hiding his love for a children’s show (when he knows so much about it). When these issues come up, Ken responds by denying it or attempting to change the subject. While most of this can be chalked up to his age, it still shows how he’s someone who is too serious for his own good.
Despite everything Ken went through, one has to remember that he’s still a kid. He knows he messed up badly and wants to do everything to make it right. He had three deaths all resolving to save his life and wants to make the most out of it. He knows he still has a lot to learn in life and will do everything to make it up to everyone around him.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Immediate
Items: Spear, His Uniform, Evoker
Retained Ability: He would have his Persona, Kala-Nemi but it wouldn’t be able to do much damage. Instead, when arriving in Kaisou, he would only start out with its innate attacks. As time goes by, he will slowly regain his abilities in the following order from Hama to Mediarahan.
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!
Ken will find himself either in a labyrinth (a floor of the Tartarus, except that's something off about the color scheme and the layout is different) OR he can awaken in town with no memory how he got there. Either way, once he manages to find his bearings in the city, he'll find a smart phone along with a book of instructions how to use it.
Note: Having Kala-Nemi and its innate attacks are fine, but for the sake of nerfing these skills have been reduced down to the weaker versions of the spell (so Zioga is now just Zio, etc)
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.
