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.

Cassandra | Tangled: The Series | OU
Contact:
Invited by: Teef
Other Characters: N/A
Character Name: Cassandra
Canon: Tangled: The Series
Canon Point: mid-s3e14 "Tale of Two Sisters"; after the minecart crash but before Cassandra finds the broken mirror
History: one wiki page
Personality: On the surface, Cassandra is a bit like a rock; tough and cold. She tends to be blunt and headstrong, butting heads with anyone that gets on her bad side... which can happen easily if you push any number of her buttons. This, coupled with displaying an attitude that ranges from bitingly sarcastic remarks to chilling outbursts of anger can result in people brushing her off as simply a spiteful young woman.
But once you push past the cold demeanor, underneath is a strong, supportive friend who wants the best for those she cares for. She's just planted her feet firmly in the camps of "Not taking people's shit" and "Tact? What tact?" You likely won't get by with just a smile and a nod, Cassandra likes to tell it like it is. Even if you won't want to hear that. And it's usually good advice too, owing to how perceptive Cassandra can be. That perception doubles as a easy way for her to toss in some teasing snark and cynicism when she finds it appropriate.
And pushing past the friendly, caring side of Cassandra, you find... Someone very willing to prove herself. Someone who, from a young age, just wanted to be in the royal guard like her adoptive father, the Captain, to make not just him proud of her but everyone else. Cass devoted herself to hard work - to "earn her keep" - ever since, putting aside the desire for dreams to instead keep a practical outlook on life. Earning respect and a job that didn't leave her stuck as a handmaiden were always on her mind, but she hardly made a move to complain if that complicated things.
This gets into the main issue. Cass is very much like her dad, with her strong sense of justice and bravery, but at the base, there's a traumatized four year old. One that watched her birth mother abandon her for another, more important, child. One that was treated less as a daughter and more like a servant, teaching Cassandra that love came with strings and her worth was measured by those around her. And even though the memories of that time were repressed, the feelings remained, and that mindset stuck with Cass all her life... leading her to no end of frustration when she was stuck waiting on others for the respect she hopes for, but ends up overlooked. She used to repress those feelings, too. Until it became too much.
Full disclosure, Cass is currently going through a months-long downward spiral of rage and resentment. Feeling ignored and always overlooked, she lashed out for the first time in her life in violent ways, planning to drive everyone away and burn the bridges so long as she finally got something out of it for herself. As of late, she's returned home to threaten her friends if they don't give her what she needs to attain power, kidnapped a former friend, and eventually attack her friends in a misguided retaliation. She's also been determined to find proof that her mother really did appreciate her for all her efforts. Even if she understands that Gothel never really loved Rapunzel, she can't accept her own mother having no affection for her, so she searches for proof to that theory.
As of her current canon point, she's agreed to a temporary truce with Rapunzel to escape a poisonous cave system (long story). She's been irritable to the princess, but their natural friendship has started resurfacing, almost to where it was before the betrayal. Still, they're on uneven ground.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Immediate.
Items:
- A black cloak
- The inner mechanism of a music box
- The "Shadowblade". A sword of unbreakable stone.
Retained Ability: Cassandra herself has no particularly special abilities as a normal human. But she has fused with the Moonstone Opal, a small rock of intense magical power that, among other things, reacts to her emotions - protectively or offensively - and is capable of summoning an endless amount of unbreakable black rocks, including molding them to whatever Cassandra deems fit like a suit of armor.
In terms of nerfing these abilities, I'd propose that while Cass can't summon any more rocks, she can manipulate her rock armor, willing it to change or go away when she needs it too.

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!
Cassandra will find herself either in a labyrinth (a maze with the walls covered in mirrors. The reflections are all moments in her life where she's been overlooked/played second fiddle) OR she can awaken somewhere in the realm in June'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.
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.
