Regains v.4

As a character spends time in Kaisou, they can gain (or regain) different perks. These come in many different forms, and can either be things that came from their original canons or new items altogether, depending on what you're interested in! Instead of requesting threads for regains, a set number of regains will be obtainable each month. Each character will get a total of 4 points each month to spend on regains. Any unused points will get rolled over each month, so players can save up and spend big.

If you want to see the old regain page, you can view them here: Year 1 (2022) | Year 2 (2023) | Year 3 (2024)

Memory Regains
Characters who are modern AU will occasionally get flashbacks to previous lives (aka their memories from their original canon). Memory regains are triggered organically through threads and interactions, usually through repeating actions that are similar to the original memory. At this time, no one is sure why these memories are surfacing. Perhaps it indicates you are a reincarnation, or it's simply an echo from another universe.

Memory regains do not require mod approval and there is no maximum number you can regain a month.

Item, Appearance, and Ability Regains
Characters can obtain items and abilities that came from their original canon world. It must be an item or ability that the character would've reasonably been able to have access to and/or owned in their canon (No Infinity Stones for Peter Parker, in other words). You can weaken abilities to regain them at a lesser cost, and then boost their power by future regain points.

AU characters can also regain features to their appearance that they had in their original canon (OU characters don't have to bother with that as they come looking like their canon selves).

Characters may also gain new abilities that are unique to Kaisou. For more information about Kaisou's power system and the potential abilities, you can read up about it here.

THE FOLLOWING LISTED ARE FOR CANON ABILITIES AND OTHER REGAINABLE ITEMS. IF YOU WANT NEW POWERS, PLEASE CONSULT THE ELEMENTAL POWER PAGE. That is also the page to select from when picking powers for Paranormal AU backgrounds!

Refunding Gacha Goodwill purchases
If you've purchased some items from the Gacha Goodwill that you don't wish to keep, you can turn it to this post in exchange for gacha pulls. For every 2 items that you turn in, you will receive 1 gacha pull. This applies to goodwill and grab bag items. While there's no minimum timeframe you have to hold onto these items, we will not do refunds on days Goodwill is open.

If you wish to refund other items that WEREN'T purchased at the goodwill, you can do so over at the Gacha Goodwill when it's open.

If you wish to do so, please fill out this form:
Goodwill Refund Form


Re-Regains
Players who previously dropped a character and then re-apped has the option to pay half price (or rounded to the nearest whole number) for any regains they previously bought before. Re-Regains can apply to any abilities, items, and previously obtained gacha winnings.

Regain Community Pool
Wish to obtain a regain but lack the points for it? Starting The mod team is offering a pool of points that anyone can use! These points are brought in by player donations and whatever points don't get used by gacha goodwill once someone drops.

When you wish to use these points, please specify so in your comment. Limits vary based on the type of regain.

If you're looking to purchase a world regain, each player is allowed to use 8 points per month from the pool. Please specify in your comment that you're using it from the community pool!

Meanwhile if you are looking to get extra points for a personal regain, a player can use up to 4 points every two months towards personal regains that they cannot afford either fully or partially. The two months reset every odd-numbed month (aka January, March, May, July, September, and November). Just please specify in your comment that you're planning to use community pool points.

Current Community Pool Total: 186 points


If you wish to donate points to the community pool, you can! For every 6 points that players donate to the pool, they will receive a special gift as a thank you.

Donation Gifts & Form
Players can choose one of the following for their thank you gift.
  • Genshin Impact Vision (Element is up to player, limit one per character)
  • Trails series ARCUS
  • Tokyo Xanadu Soul Device
  • A Persona (limit one per character unless they're the canon equivalent of a Persona wildcard)
  • FFX-2 Dressphere
  • Friendship Power Bracelet (see gacha goodwill)
  • Free Real Estate (see gacha goodwill)
  • Unlisted Monster type (meaning your character can become a monster that's not currently listed. However this monster type will need to be mod approved)
  • One Legendary Pokemon, depowered (not Arceus or Mewtwo)


If you wish to donate, please fill out this form here


Filling out Regain Descriptions
Unfortunately, the mod team does not have the time or resources to possibly become canon familiar with every single canon out there. Because of that, when you fill out your regain descriptions: please explain it in a manner that a canon blind person can reasonably understand. For instance we don't need you to explain what a sword is, but a basic explanation of a keyblade is would help. We don't need full essays, but please try to avoid any canon terminology when a common English word will do. If you HAVE to use canon-terminology, define in your comment what it means. You can link resources to help explain, but please try to use resources that are canon-blind friendly.

Here's a guideline of typical things the mods like to know:
  • What does the item do?
  • How powerful is it?
  • Does it have any abilities that are potentially gamebreaking?
  • What are the limitations on it?
  • How big is it?

Should a regain request come off as confusing to the regain mods, the regain mods will ask once for clarification regarding the parts that confuse them. If the player is unable to clarify what the mod was confused about in their following comment, the regain will be automatically-rejected and the player will need to wait 24 hours before they can submit the regain again.

This clarification rule ONLY applies to regains that have been submitted to this page. If you want to talk to a mod about questions you have with the regain before you submit, you're free to do so either on the FAQ page or in the Mod Questions channel in the discord.

When Should I Expect My Regains to Get Approved?
The regain mod team hold office hours from 2pm EST to 4pm EST on every day EXCEPT most Tuesdays & Thursdays (except the ones that fall during busy times in the month such as when AC is going on), and major holidays (aka Christmas, New Years, etc). Sometimes regains will get approved outside of office hours, but please don't count on it. If you have questions on what days the regain office will be open, you can check the game calendar.

Occasionally if a regain request is particularly complicated, it may be put on hold while a decision about it can be made. However, even in cases like that it should take no longer than one week, so if your regain hasn't be responded to in a week - feel free to contact us and let us know because that most likely means it got missed somehow!

That said, if you need need to contact us about your regains, we ask that you do not privately contact any regain mods about your regains. If you have any questions about your regains, please use the proper channels: the game discord, the FAQ page, or the mod contact page. Thank you!

FINAL IMPORTANT NOTE: While the Activity Check is underway (typically the 28th - 30/31st) we ask that you do not comment with a regain UNLESS you have completed your AC for the current month. Once you have cleared AC, you can go purchase as you like. Thank you!

Regain Type: Birthday Skeleman!
Regain Details: On the eve of December 31st, Ace will be sitting in his room in front of an altar surrounded by and made out of birthday cakes, 21 candles and sparklers blazing. He awaits the skeleton eagerly, knowing that since October this garbage pit of a man has been eating at least three birthday cakes a week in tribute (he's dying, he's been so sick, he's had such a sugar rush). And when the time comes that the birthday man himself comes to him--

And he asks, quite simply, for anything from his mom. A picture, a memento, proof she's still alive wherever she's ended up-- or maybe just the flower she always wore in her hair, if he can find a way to enchant it so it doesn't wilt or decay. He's sure someone in the city knows how to do that.

Link to Activity Check-in: Here

Regain Type: Canon ability for Cerberus!
Regain Details: Wolverine level regeneration! Cerberus can survive even a beheading - though he has to grow the extra head, which looks like a puppy for a while, it's so weird. He doesn't have anything that can KILL him, but music will put him into a DEEP sleep, so let's go with that. This isn't something I plan to lean on much, just keeping best boy safe so he can help Persephone out in battle.
Points: 8

Regain Type: Birthday skeleton
Regain Details: Persephone doesn't need anything, and she's honestly still weirder out by this fake birthday nonsense. She'll just ask for something for her dog. Let Cerberus have a new toy that works with three heads.

Link to Activity Check-in: here

Regain Type: Ability Regain - Regeneration - Wolverine (8 pts)
Regain Details: Upgrading from Regen - High (3 pts). In canon, Blade is able to recover from dying after a minute or two, which is more dramatic than immediately, but close enough. He doesn't seem to have a stated canon weakness but going off lore hints I'm going to extend my headcanon and say that specifically cutting out his heart will keep him from coming back; this is because Dan Feng likely replaced his heart with the Dragon Heart artifact/arcanum. Hopefully that's ok!

Regain Details: Demigod - Nico gains the Greek demigod debuff! All of the abilities (...flaws, let's be honest) at base will be bestowed upon him and is the basis for his child of Hades powers, as discussed in the Greek Demigod? thread on Discord.
Points: 3

Regain Type: Item (Canon)
Regain Details: Stygian Iron Sword - It's a sword made of Stygian iron, which is a metal found within the Underworld. The weapon is magical and is able to affect ghosts. In addition, the sword can absorb the life essence of monsters when it kills them. This doesn't make the blade any stronger than normal, but it's difficult to say whether it completely deletes the monster from their endless cycle of reforming in Tartarus or if it just makes their "rebirth" slower. Living people are EXTREMELY ADVISED to never touch the blade! We have no idea what happens to them if they ignore this warning, but it's probably extremely bad! Also, when it's not in use, the sword can transform at will into a silver skull ring or from the skull ring to its sword form.
Points: 3 or 4?
