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.

| Normal Modern AU | Paranormal Modern AU | Original Universe |
Franciscus Erkens | Pokemon OC | Paranormal Modern AU (w/ CRAU)
Contact:
Invited by: Myself
Other Characters: Tiera
Character Name: Franciscus Erkens
Canon: Pokemon OC (Cartesio+15 Strangers CRAU)
Canon History: (cw: mention of forced breeding of sapient creatures)
Originally, the heir to the prestigious Erkens family, whose secret talent was the ability to use the Pokemon move Pay Day. His parents were both members of the International Police, and he joined once he came of age. Almost immediately, the group he was part of ended up part of a scandal involving Legendary Pokemon being forced to produce eggs in an attempt to show that they were "just normal Pokemon." The group ended up having to raise some of the eggs, and Franciscus became the guardian of a Shaymin egg. He also ended up dating one of the other members of the group, Shaun Reely the scientist.
CRAU (Cartesio): And then he woke up in a town called Cartesio one day, led by the Sarge and told to get away with murder or fulfill an "assignment" to get out. For the longest time, he resisted the temptation, searching for other ways out, doing his best in the trial, and trying not to cause too much destruction in the Sarge's assignments. But when offered the chance to bring someone with him when he escaped, for the sake of the young magical girl Sakura, he decided to kill. But the simultaneous death of Millium, another young girl he'd been getting close to, rattled him, and eventually he broke down in court when confronting her murderer. He was executed, but found himself on the other side in the land of the dead, where he proceeded to do his best to investigate things there and transmit information to the other side. They found out eventually that all the people in this town were actually clones of their original selves, but despite the pain that came from this revelation, the living managed to face down the Sarge and escape to the real Cartesio.
CRAU (15 Strangers): After about two months in Cartesio, Franciscus found himself waking up in a strange new place again-this time a tiny coffin-like room in a musty medieval castle. With him was Osomatsu Matsuno, the one other person he knew from Cartesio, the one who'd executed him but at the same time a close friend, and even though their memories of each other were scrambled, they nonetheless clung to each other as the one familiar thing. The thought that either of them could die at any point eventually led to Franciscus confessing that he'd developed feelings for Osomatsu, who reciprocated. Unfortunately, in the third week, Franciscus was killed by Eric Lecarde, who impaled him through the heart while mistaking him for Dracula, and Franciscus similarly hallucinated Eric as Azura, his victim from Cartesio. He ended up in the land of the dead, where he remained through the end of that round and two more rounds of death games, before all the dead were finally revived together. He returned to Cartesio with Osomatsu, hoping desperately that they could just be together without anything else coming between them.
Canon Personality: Franciscus acts charming and friendly by nature, but tends to keep a sort of barrier between himself and others. He does genuinely want to get along with people, but more for the sake of convenience and manipulation. While not a bad person at heart, he used to find it hard to actually connect. Being through two murdergames has softened him up a lot, and he's much more willing to express his genuine emotions instead of acting unflappable and cool all the time. He's pretty much stopped flirting with almost anyone, now that he's got a boyfriend and no real need to seduce people for information.
Still, it takes going through a lot together for him to trust people more deeply, and only a few people have earned that level of trust. But once they have, they'll count for a lot, and he'd be willing to do almost anything for them, and deeply fear being hated by them. He's often haunted by the thought of the blood on his hands, especially since he found out he's a clone, and considers the accomplishments of his original to not actually be his own, meaning that the most significant thing he's actually done is murder someone. He does also have some trauma from his various deaths as well as being kidnapped twice.
AU History: In this world, the Erkens family were alchemists, using rituals to transmute dross into valuable elements. But the cost of the transmutation meant they only fell about even, so eventually they did turn to other more unethical magics. During one of their galas, when Franciscus was 18, someone opposed to the ecological destruction the family was committing somehow managed to open a Tear in the middle of the ballroom, destabilizing the place. Most people fled, but Franciscus slipped while shoving someone else out of the exit and found himself falling into the Spirit Realm. He nearly died, but a capricious nature spirit saved his life, telling him to dedicate his life to undoing his family's harm.
Eventually, a year later, he stumbled back out of the Spirit Realm, somehow managing to land close to where his family home was. However, he had changed so much that his parents didn't trust that he was actually their son, and part of his contract price was also that he couldn't touch iron or enter a dwelling without an invitation. Believing that he was a changeling, his parents chased him away, leaving him with only the clothes on his back. He was left to wander across the country, occasionally hitchhiking and making money however he could, until he stumbled into Kaisou recently. For now, he's sleeping in the park until he figures out how to rent an apartment.
AU Personality Differences: JESUS CHRIST he's so much more traumatized. Why did I do this to my boy. He didn't really get to know anyone before he fell into the spirit realm, so by now his contracted spirit is pretty much his only friend. He's still a good person at heart, it's just that he hasn't had much of a chance to show it. Despite everything, he still tries to hold up a cool, confident mask when in public, but it slips much more often.
Element: Earth
Purchased Powers: Medium level plant manipulation (3 points)
Possession: Franciscus is possessed by a nature sprite and cannot touch iron or enter a dwelling without an invitation. (Being asked to fix his family's harms technically isn't the contract price, so much as something the sprite wants separately. They also realize that's kind of hard for him to do, and they are kinda fond of him by now and realize it's partly their fault, so they hardly bring it up anymore.)
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!
The Libra app will now download onto Franciscus's phone unexpectedly. You are welcome to have him make a network post, or just start tagging around! June's event log can be found here.
Your contract prices for his possession has been approved!
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.
EDIT: Sorry, left the info for normal AU on there by accident. He does not get the bonus points. Sorry about that!
