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.

Invited by: Myself!
Other Characters: Yoosung Kim
Character Name: Five / Das / Emily Kolburn
Canon: Dark Matter
Canon Point: 3x01, during the chaos that ensues after the EOS-7 space station attack and before Truffault gets her to an escape pod.
History: Behold: a wiki link!
Personality: Five is clearly more idealistic than the rest of the crew of the Raza, as she is usually the one to insist that they can change and be better people than they were before losing their memories. She also wants to believe that they can change the universe for the better. She has good intentions and is kind-hearted, though she also doesn't seem to have much problem with breaking the law when it's necessary, or even just for them to get more money. Above all, though, she really wants to be helpful and to be seen as useful and a part of the team, and it bugs her any time it's implied that she's just a little girl (she's 16), or that she's "softer" than the rest of her crew. (Or that they're soft for keeping her around.) She wants her voice heard, and her opinion should matter, and she has things to offer that make her valuable to have around!
She makes decisions based mostly on emotion and instincts, and fortunately her instincts tend to be pretty good. She disobeys orders on a regular basis, but only in order to protect the people she cares about or help them in some way. This is definitely one of those traits that carried over from Das, considering she was the one to wipe the crew's memories in order to protect one of them. Das also had no problems committing crimes in order to survive, a view clearly still shared by Five although her sense of ethics are still against physically harming innocent people if they can help it. A lot of helpful things Five ends up doing for her crew are things never even asked of her, but that she does on instinct or she improvises.
Five is the first and most often one to call her and her crew "family." While this opinion was probably not shared by Das considering the crew of the Raza's old personalities, she clearly thought very affectionately of her fellow orphans and runaways aboard the space station they illegally inhabited (prior to their deaths and Das stowing away aboard the Raza), given evidence that she had a picture of them together and was intending to buy them all dinner to have together with the money she'd gotten off a "mark." This suggests that even here, on Kaisou, though she'll be missing her Raza crew, she may still find friends to call family!
It should be noted though that her Raza crew, even if they aren't here with her, they are in effect still a part of her, due to the fact that she retains their memories from before they all went into stasis. She can't access these on purpose, not without some sort of device to help, but they occasionally pop up in her dreams, and more rarely things will bubble up to the surface while she's completely conscious.
Five can be friendly and social, but has times when she needs a quiet place to herself, and on the Raza she finds this in the ducts of the air-vents. She also uses them to explore the ship, and in the beginning also to sneak into the other crew member's rooms and snoop around a little, though only after she made an effort to get to know them one-on-one and was initially rejected.
Despite finding herself in dark situations, and even having to kill at one point in defense of one of her crew mates, Five still shows at times incredible cheer and playfulness. Bouncing back from dark times seems relatively easy for her, the exception we're shown to be in the case of death or betrayal of/by someone she cares about. During those dark moments, she often shows fear but has stated that she's "tired of being the frightened little girl," and she always steps up despite her fear and does what she has to for herself and for her family. For this reason, it's implied she may be considered the bravest of the Raza crew.
While she doesn't trust as easily as probably a 16-year-old who hadn't had to survive on the streets would, she does seem to trust more easily than most of the rest of the Raza crew. This could have to do with her idealistic nature, and wanting to believe people can be better.
Despite her idealism, she's not naive, and she knows how to survive on her own. She is frequently underestimated, in the beginning not just by their enemies but also by her own crew. By this canon point she's definitely proven herself, and because of this has more confidence (not to mention more abilities that she's been taught - such as her fighting skills) then she did in the beginning. Without her family to back her up, she will be a little more fearful and insecure again until she finds people she can become close to who will encourage and support her. People who she can make proud.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Now? Now is good.
Items: Nothing but the clothes on her back, unfortunately.
Retained Ability: N/A, Five is an ordinary human, other than all the memories belonging to other people hidden inside her head.
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!
Five will find herself either in a labyrinth (the Raza, but the layout is all different. Around there's various normal ship tasks to do, but each of them have a note attached saying it can only be done by someone that's 17 or older. If she ignores the notes, she will find her effects have no effect- but if someone older comes by, they'll be able to do it.) 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.
EDIT: Also just a quick note! Since this is your second character, the next time you can submit an app for a character will be July 5th!
