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.

Dolores Madrigal | Encanto | OU
Contact: PM journal,
Invited by: TF
Other Characters: n/a
Character Name: Dolores Madrigal
Canon: Encanto
Canon Point: End of the movie
History: Cousin Dolores can hear a pin drop.
Personality:
Dolores is the eldest child of Pepa and Félix, but despite being the oldest of their three children she is heavily overshadowed by her beautiful and beloved cousin Isabela. Despite this, Dolores shows no outward animosity towards her cousin or indeed to any of her family, who she is very close to. She clearly dotes on her brothers and is helpful to her cousins, even giving Mirabel the clue that Luisa's eye had been twitching and putting her on the path to finding out what was wrong with the encanto's miracle.
She is a quiet person who keeps to herself and has a tendency to fade into the background during family occasions (though not quite as much as Mirabel). The nature of her gift means that she hears everyone's gossip and secrets even if she doesn't want to, and she can sometimes have trouble keeping those secrets to herself! It is implied that she is something of a gossip (Mirabel's comment that Dolores would 'tell everyone' about Bruno's vision), but she does not do this from a place of malice and is able to keep secrets if she believes that it would be the best thing for the family (such as Bruno's continued presence in the house). It's possible that she keeps herself held slightly apart from the other people living in the valley to avoid potentially awkward situations, as her gift is no secret and everyone would know that she can hear everything they say.
As well as this, she also tends to not express her own thoughts and feelings and puts those of other people above her own in many cases. She will also always put the good of the family - or the perceived good of the family - above her own wants and needs. Though she is in love with Mariano, she says nothing as she believes she is fated to never be with him due to Bruno's vision, and pursuing him would cause difficulty in the family as Alma wants him to marry Isabela.
Dolores' gift means that she is very sensitive to noise, and although she will put herself into situations that are hard for her to cope with (usually for the sake of the family) she will often put her hands over her ears when things around her start to get loud.
Without her powers, Dolores remains a kind and diligent person who is always willing to lend a hand and to get her hands dirty if need be. She searches for her missing cousin with the rest of the family after helping Alma sit down following the collapse of the house, and happily helps with the rebuilding work. The loss of her gift as well as the rest of the events surrounding the house's destruction also seemed to give her more confidence, allowing her to finally confess her feelings to Mariano.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Recent arrival!
Items: Just the clothes on her back at her canon point - white and yellow shirt with golden-colored trimming on it, a long red skirt with yellow streaks, a red choker with a golden gem adorned with a ruby on the middle of it, and heart-shaped golden earrings, and red sandals. She also wears a red ribbon which holds her hair up in a bun.
Retained Ability: Enhanced hearing: Dolores can literally hear a pin drop, and can hear a conversation happening a mile (or more) away if she is concentrating on it. To start with her hearing will only be very slightly better than your average person, which is honestly a good thing because Dolores can be a terrible gossip.
((The personality section is pants sorry I swear I'm a better writer than this.))
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!
Dolores will find herself either in a labyrinth (a cave system reminiscent of ones you'd find in South America with a reddish lighting. As she walks through it, she'll be able to hear echoes of voices speaking in many different languages, both alive and dead. They are the voices of past visitors and denizens of the Spirit Realm.) OR she can awaken somewhere in the realm in January's event log. Either way, once she manages to exit the spirit realm, she'll find a smart phone along with a book of instructions how to use it. Also somehow she can speak and understand English. Don't think too hard on it.
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.
