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.

Player Name: Usami
Contact: [plurk.com profile] usamichan13
Invited by: already a player!
Other Characters: Luisa Madrigal

Character Name: Moana (Moana Ka’uhane)
Canon: Moana
Canon History: Disney wik

Canon Personality:
  • Caring
  • Kind
  • Loyal
  • Resourceful
  • Adventurous
  • Brave
  • Hard-working
  • Spirited
  • Optimistic
  • Stubborn (sometimes annoyingly so)
  • Can be reckless
  • Naive at times
  • Can be selfish about her desires and need to prove herself


    • AU History:
  • Moana Ka’uhane was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to a pretty well-off family; not quite rich, but it was enough to provide Moana a comfortable life with her parents and paternal grandmother
  • Because her parents were often working, Moana spent a lot of time with her grandmother, who had a connection with the spirit world. Moana grew up listening to her grandmother’s stories about ghosts, magic, and the supernatural.
  • When Moana was 10 years old, her own spirit power was awakened after the death of her grandmother, and Moana was able to see her ghost. Her grandmother remained in the world to help Moana navigate her new awareness of the supernatural, and guide her with understanding her spirit power
  • After the end of her 8th grade year, Moana’s father announced that he had accepted a job in Kaisou, and that the family would be moving. Because her grandmother’s ghost was attached to Hawaii, she wouldn’t be able to stay with Moana, and so decided to finally move on, much to Moana’s dismay
  • In the summer of that year, Moana and her family moved to Kaisou, and though Moana was upset at having to leave Hawaii, she was intrigued by the spiritual presence she felt in Kaisou
  • Moana began her freshman year at Kaisou Public High School, much to her father’s consternation. And while the first few months of her first year were a bit rough and awkward, being new and not knowing anyone, she grew to be more comfortable with her new setting and making some new friends, which was helped as she joined the swim team
  • As more strange things began happening in the city, Moana began to try investigating the supernatural happenings in the city herself


    • AU Personality Differences:
  • The biggest difference from her OU counterpart was Moana’s reluctance to leave the home she grew up in. While Moana is still adventurous and eager to explore, she never had any intention to move away from Hawaii. Though she does learn to enjoy her time in Kaisou, she refuses to admit so to her father
  • Moana and her father argue quite a bit more often, due to them not quite seeing eye to eye on many issues, such as Moana not wanting to leave Hawaii (especially since it’s the place her grandmother was laid to rest), and her father having wanted her to attend private school rather than public school. This is mostly minor though, as despite their arguments they still deeply care for each other
  • Unlike her OU counterpart, who was preparing to become the chief of her people, Moana acts more like other teenagers. She doesn’t have as large a sense of responsibility, and is a little more prone to sneak behind her father’s back. She can be a bit more mischievous and bend the rules a bit. However this is also mostly minor, as nothing she does is outright malicious and is mostly just for the sake of having a bit of fun


    • Element: Water
    Purchased Powers:
  • Withstand temperatures as cold as 32F (0*C) without a coat (1 pt)
