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.

Kashuu Kiyomitsu | Touken Ranbu | Normal Modern AU

[nailpolished]

Player Name: Maggie
Contact: roseburst
Invited by: Me, myself, and I
Other Characters: Minato & Izuku

Character Name: Kashuu Kiyomitsu
Canon: Touken Ranbu (Hanamaru)
Canon History: yes

Canon Personality:

• Reliable. While Kashuu definitely doesn't like getting dirty or chipping nails and while he does try to stay away from difficult emotional confrontations for the most part (he does not succeed in general) he's actually an exceedingly reliable person. He'll complain about things, sure, but he never actually shies away from hard work in terms of actually shirking it. He's been at his version of the Citadel since the very beginning as the first sword there and always accepts the responsibility of showing newbies around and looking out for them without more than a token complaint. The other swords also do tend to rely on him for certain things, and Kashuu has yet to fail to live up to their expectations of him. Kashuu also pays attention to other people (despite seeming very self-focused) and is always willing to offer up his assistance. Sure, sometimes he's just press-ganged into helping out, but he usually won't turn the other swords down when they truly need him for something (he will occasionally say no to shenanigans but he usually gets dragged in anyway so why does he bother)! Kashuu cares about his friends a lot, even though he's maybe halfway allergic to actually talking about his emotions without something forcing him to do so (he gets better about it but still isn't as straightforward as he could be).

• Carefree. While Kashuu can be genuinely serious he comes off as a more carefree sort of guy. He's fussy about his clothes and nails, yes, and fishes for compliments...but he's also genuinely friendly with the other swords for the most part. Aside from some snark and the occasional burst of temper when someone messes up his appearance, he's got a habit of going with their flow - or being dragged along into their paces, at least. He's actually pretty easy for all the other swords to get along with, only rarely allowing them to see his uglier sides and never really interested in starting up any huge conflict on his own behalf. The most he'll do on his own is occasionally challenge people for sparring. He doesn't seem to have any real enemies in the Citadel and seems to be on good or decent terms with pretty much everyone, which isn't the case for every sword.

• Vain. He's laser focused on the concept of being cute/beautiful and being praised for it. He equates looking good with being loved, and Kashuu's past - being born to poverty, being abandoned after he broke as a sword, etc. - gives him a lot of issues with the concept of being abandoned, replaced, or broken. He seems to believe that if he looks cute enough and takes good enough care of himself he can ward that off from ever happening again, because his master and other people will love him if he looks lovely enough and because of that they won't abandon him. It's not true of course, but it isn't something he's grown out of yet. Kashuu can let certain amounts of dirt slide in battle, but he's never happy about it.

• Insecure. See the reasons for the above vanity. Kashuu is insecure about his appearance despite acting superior about it, but he's mostly insecure about the events of his past. He has had time to try to come to terms with what happened with Souji in the past, but even so the ghosts of the past seem to loom large for him especially when he is left to his own devices alone or when he perceives himself as being pushed off to the side. This is because due to his insecurities he is prone to jealousy. In particular it pops up when he feels like someone else is stronger/more cute/being loved more by their master. Kashuu doesn't exactly confront the people he is jealous of, usually, but he does brood about it alone and has been known to run off to do so. He doesn't seem to be capable of taking it on faith that he will not be pushed aside and replaced by other people, even with the character development he's gotten so far. He's not as bad as some people could be about it - he doesn't take out his jealousy on other people, for example - but it's definitely a problem he has that pops up time and again.

AU History: Kashuu grew up in town! He's always been fussy about his appearance, and a fairly decent student. Graduated high school without fuss and is currently rolling around university interested in a fashion minor and a business major. He's thinking he'd like to own some kind of store someday, or at least go into managing one? It's not super defined. He has a nail art and makeup focused youtube channel, though he doesn't consider it a career so much as a hobby.

AU Personality Differences: He's Actually Human, so he's less baffled by human things. Also has way less issues about being abandoned/wanting to be loved, since he grew up fairly normally and had built in family companionship for the most part. Somewhat less willing to straight up murder people because he's not a sword who Does That...
