[DEFUNCT] Regains v.2

OLD PAGE. GO TO THE CURRENT REGAIN PAGE HERE

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 see it here!

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 as at a lesser power level, 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. FOR NEW POWERS, PLEASE CONSULT THE ELEMENTAL POWER PAGE. That is also the page to select from when picking powers for Paranormal AU backgrounds!

Gacha Regains
Feeling Lucky? Not picky about what you regain? A gacha regain is an item/ability/world regain that is picked via RNG by the mod! The potential regains range from the useless (a paperclip) to very useful (new abilities!) to the very cursed (long furby). Characters with luck-based abilities will have a higher chance of either pulling something nice or something cursed, depending on which way their luck goes.

1 point will get you 2 gacha rolls. We ask that players only do a maximum of 4 gacha rolls per day (aka two points worth!).

Gacha Goodwill and Refunding Regains
If you're interested in obtaining gacha items with a LITTLE less relying on chance, OR you are interested in returning a regain you have purchased, you can head over to the Gacha Goodwill to take care of those needs! Currently, the Gacha Goodwill is only open on the first and third weekends of the month.

Starting September 2023, if you've purchased some items from the 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 do so, please fill out this form:
Goodwill Refund Form


Birthday Skeleton
As of November 2022, the Birthday Skeleton is now offering his services in Kaisou. On the night before a character's birthday, the Birthday Skeleton will appear by their bedside and ask them for their birthday wish. Once they make their wish, the Birthday Skeleton will proclaim "The Contract is Sealed" before giving them the item and disappearing once more. The birthday skeleton cannot be killed because he is already a skeleton.

OOCly, this means players can make a item request during the month of their character's birthday. This item can either be an item that's reasonably found on modern-day Earth, or a regain item that's worth up to 2 points. Anything that they wish for that does not fall within these perimeters will either get the skeleton to ask for something else, or he'll give them an item equivalent (such as a toy of the item, or a photo of the person).

To get your Birthday Skeleton item, please fill out the usual regain form and note under the points that this is for their birthday!

If your character does not have a canon birthday, you are free to make one up! If their canon goes by a different calendar, feel free to pick a good equivalent. If they are primordial being that's older than the existence of the calendar - their Kaisou birthday is now January 1st.

Korok Hammerspace
As of August 2023, characters can now obtain free hammerspace slots via searching for Koroks in the Hyrule Realm. These Koroks are playful nature spirits that like to play hide-and-seek and other games. Each time you find one, they will give you a Korok Seed. Bring three of these seeds to a larger spirit named Hetsu, and he'll perform a magic dance that will give you enough hammerspace to store away 1 item that is no bigger than a typical weapon.

OOCly, characters can obtain a free hammerspace slot if they find three Koroks. At least one of these Korok searches needs to be threaded out (with a minimum of three comments from your character). When you request your free hammerspace slot, please be sure to link the required thread. Characters can obtain up to three hammerspace slots per month.

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.

Re-Regain Form:


When Should I Expect My Regains to Get Approved?
The regain mod team will hold office hours each day from 2pm EST to 4pm EST, so this will be the most likely time your regain will get approved. Sometimes regains will get approved outside of office hours if the mod on shift that day feels like it, but please don't count on it.

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!

You should also expect no regain approvals on any major international holidays, aka Christmas & New Years. We also ask that you do not privately contact the 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!

RULE UPDATE NOVEMBER 2023: 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!

Player Name: Usagi
Character Name: Jonathan Joestar
Link to Activity Check-in: Tadaaah

Regain Type: Low Level Ability
Regain Details: 'Hamon Jump' - A quick burst of Radiance is released, propelling the user into the air without any other motion. Mostly just a cool party trick, or if you're a small bat, a great way to get into the air really fast. He can only ascend the height of a full grown human being, and must do so from a solid surface.
Points: 1

Regain Type: Elemental Manipulation (Power Boost)
Regain Details: Proficiency level rises to 'Master'; elemental effectiveness against 'undead', and similarly 'unholy/rotting' forces rises accordingly.

A worthwhile note; while the effectiveness against Radiance's 'opposing element' rises, Radiance/Hamon is almost entirely ineffective against anything else, save precise techniques that would require purchase.
Points: 2 (moving from 2 point proficiency to 4)

Regain Type: Ability (Master? Shield-like)
Regain Details: Jonathan's typical use of radiance/hamon is to coat himself in the energy; with this regain, that coat will be capable of absorbing shock damage from collisions or similar blows.
- This absorption would be instant, but not wholly effective; prolonged and repeated collisions still risk bruising and worse.
- It has no elemental advantages or disadvantages despite Radiance's typical advantages, and cannot be used to block such attacks; only lessen the physical damage to Jonathan himself.
- Really this is just to make him a little less fantastically easy to squash/make his typical manner of attack feasible to survive.

Points: ....4? The hamon coat itself can be held as long as Jonathan holds it, but its effectiveness only covers himself, and also can't completely protect him, so I'm unsure of the cost here. (For that matter, hopefully everything else is properly done.)

Regain Type: Anemo Mastery
Regain Details: Being the Anemo Archon, he has an extremely powerful connection to that element even for "being the weakest archon." This will give him roughly half of his canon power over anemo/wind back. Controlling the wind, conjuring wind, using it in his wind spirit and human form to fly/glide/hover, and can use the winds to help one human-sized person glide if they have something that will allow them to do so (such as wings, a glider, etc). This also includes his elemental skill and elemental ultimate in canon, and those will conjure harmless feathers for The AestheticTM.
