[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: Yasuho Hirose
Link to Activity Check-in: Tadaaah

Regain Type: World Regain - Large-sized Store/Venue
Regain Details: From Yasuho's canon, the Higashikata Fruit Parlor appears!

The fruit parlor is easily described as a two-level business; the first floor sells luxury fruits according to the season. Examples include Ruby Roman Grapes, Pickled Plums, and muskmelons. Essentially, this is where you will find 150$ cantaloupes. Yikes!

The top floor however has a dessert café, where fruit that can no longer be sold at top quality is cut and prepared into much more affordable desserts such as cakes, or parfaits.

(Obviously as this is the store and not the company, these fruits are being entirely sourced from around the Actual World. ...They're just Really Expensive ones.)

Points: 8!

[personal profile] kowase 2023-09-08 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name: Prince
Character Name: Vergil
Link to Activity Check-in: here

Regain Type: Weapon Repower
Regain Details: Vergil's Yamato is a dumb weapon that does weird stuff with time, is the best way I can describe it
he can speed up/slow down the direct area around the blade and it can??? shoot blasts of extremely quick cuts in a direction
as well as throw slashes that hit a few moments after the sword is swung. it's weird. its a weird weapon. this power also seems to requires intense concentration and skill from the user, however, it is not a power that can just be picked up and used automatically--Dante and Nero are shown to use far messier and unfocused Judgement Cuts than Vergil when they have access to the sword.

the blade can also be called to the hand of the user when it's out of hand.
Points: 2 is probably appropriate? let me know c:

Regain Type: Another Yamato ability woo
Regain Details: why can swords do this? devil may cry is a dumb game
anyway he can use yamato to open a portal and teleport places. probably needs to know where he's going.
Points: lets just go with the solo one for now, so 3 points

Regain Type: Canon Ability
Regain Details: Bounded Field Creation - essentially a permanent stationary barrier placed around a location acting as a deterrent/ward against entities with malicious intent. Taking into account that the idea is to have it cover the perimeter of Cygnus Academy as well as the skill of the person casting it, the end result will probably only repel minor threats and be broken easily. If the size needs to be tuned down that's totally fine with me, I can workshop this.

Regain Type: Ability
Regain Details: Soundproofing a room sized area
Points: 3

Regain Type: Canon Ability
Regain Details: Anemo Healing - RIGHT so basically the only way in canon that Venti can heal himself is by being in a place that has a lot of Anemo / wind magic in the environment. It works more or less like regeneration, but in a highly specific way. I figure that this can work anywhere in Kaisou during Wind months, but if there are any other places where this could work outside of those months, that'd be helpful for him! It doesn't seem like the Statues of the Seven work for him, either, since he was shown very far away from the Statue of Barbatos when Venti went to heal himself.
Points: 3 or 4?

it does not, however, come with ammunition, nor does it come with a crew. all these lovely weapons it has? yeah it’s all fuckin useless. but hey, at least it can still ram…?

Player Name: Ryuu
Character Name: Dan Heng
Link to Activity Check-in: Here!

Regain Type: Ability
Regain Details: Cloudhymn Mastery - This is basically magic that the Vidyadhara's progenitor god gave them as a blessing, and Imbibitor Lunae has the most powerful form of it because he's a more direct inheritor. To use Genshin as an example, this is essentially like an Archon's elemental mastery, but on a lesser scale comparatively. Basically, this magic deals with water manipulation, water conjuration, and illusions. Dan Heng has been shown to summon water to attack, either in the shape of a fuck off enormous dragon made of water or as an illusory lotus, as well as rain down magical copies of his spear. He can also fly and levitate using this magic, which the flight part can be high speed like a goddamn Dragonball character. The upper parts of this magic has been his previous reincarnation using the sea to drown enemies and allies alike, and Dan Heng's parted the sea to reveal a massive temple that was sealed underneath it.
