Why play a Shinki? | Why play a God? Forms | Application FAQ They will open on - - - All applications must be sent to: godsoffortune@gmail.com Please format your subject line like this: Character Name | Canon | Reserved/Not Reserved Copy/paste the whole thing, code and all, from the textbox below, or post it to your journal and copy and paste all the text from that post. Please do not send a link to a post of your application. UPDATE (10/5/17): Some of the wording in the app has been changed to make certain points more clear, and to ask for more information in some sections. We ask everyone to carefully read the app, especially players who have apped before. Player Information Name: Whatever name you prefer to go by. Contact: Email/AIM/Skype/Plurk whatever is best to reach you at. Age: We require that you be at least 16 years old to join this game. Please tell us a number in your answer. Other Characters: If applicable, what other characters do you have in the game. Character Information Name: Your character's full name, in Western order. ([Given Name] [Family Name]) Canon: What canon your character is from. Canon Point: Just a general idea or a chapter/episode number, either is fine. Age: How old your character is. You may give actual and apparent ages as well. History: A link to a wiki article will suffice. If there is not enough information available, please provide a written history. Personality: Minimum of 300 words. Show us what you know about how your character behaves and thinks! Personality sections will not get revisions. If a personality section is deemed insufficient, it will be automatically rejected. Please pay close attention to this section! Abilities: Give us an idea of what your character's canon abilities are. Any magic powers they have should go here, as well as any mundane things that they're good at. Give us the highlights of your character's strong suits. Strengths: List five buzzwords. (A buzzword is a single word, or a short phrase, that points out the key factor in a character's personality). Weaknesses: List five. Also looking for buzzwords here. God/Shinki: We have put together some of our own suggestions for why you may want to play a Shinki or a God below! Why?: Explain to us why your character would be a better fit for the category you've chosen. Top 3 Choices: (Gods only - Remove this section if you chose shinki.) Choose the 3 available gods you would most like your character to be. The final choice will be left up to the mods. God Type: (Gods only - Remove this section if you chose shinki.) Tell us a little bit about what kind of god your character will aspire to be. What kinds of requests/prayers will they take? Will they try to hold true to what their previous incarnations stood for or just go off the deep end? Cause Of Death: (Shinki only - Remove this section if you chose god.) Tell us how your character died in order to become a lost soul given a name by a god. A brief description is appreciated, as this scene is what your god will be seeing when you first meet. Vessel: (Shinki only - Remove this section if you chose god.) What shape does your character take as the god's vessel? It can be anything from household objects to pieces of jewelry to weapons - your choice! Name Location: (Shinki only - Remove this section if you chose god.) Where on your shinki's body is their name (the kanji used to form their vessel name) branded? It can be anywhere you would like! Power: This is different from 'Abilities' strictly on the grounds that it is unique to The Far Shore itself. While any number of gods or shinki can have similar powers, we enjoy originality and choosing something that would help your character develop as much as possible. There are a lot of resources for possible powers for your god/shinki to have! The Powerlisting Wikia is just one, but you can feel free to search around for other ideas or even come up with something all your own!
Writing Sample Sample: You may choose to write your sample in first person or third person. It can use brackets or prose, whichever you prefer. We ask that your sample be at least 200 words long and give us a solid look at how you would play your character. If you would like to link to examples of playing your character, that is an acceptable sample as well. We only ask that there be at least ten (10) comments from your character in the linked example. NSFW threads are also acceptable, please just warn us that they are when you link the thread. Other Anything Else?: Is there anything else you'd like us to consider? For example, if you have a god/shinki you would like to be paired with, that information should go here.
A few of the gods that have been mentioned in Noragami are still appable - namely those that do not have speaking parts or are not plot relevant - but you can check out Wikipedia to find a huge list of possible gods to be claimed. Please also make sure that the god you want is not already taken by someone in the game! Basics | Appable Characters | Gods & Shinki | Character Appearance | Items & Powers Reapplication Applications: Basics How many characters can I app in per round? Only one! The setting is small enough that apping in more than one character at a time would make things awkward. How old do I have to be as a player before I can app into the game? You must be at least 16 years old. If you're almost 16, please wait until after your birthday before you app! How soon can I app from a new canon? For anime/TV shows, a full season must be out. For anything else, the material must have been publicly available for at least a month. If you can read the original language source material, then we would go by that date, otherwise it would be by the English release date. Can I use headcanon in my app? Players are welcome to use a reasonable amount of headcanon in their app, especially if the source material is very vague about certain things regarding the character. Please note in your application what you are extrapolating your headcanons from so that we can be sure to understand where you're coming from and what base it has in canon. Can I reuse personality sections or samples from other games? Even if they're old? You may reuse a personality section from another app. Please make sure that it coordinates with the canon point you choose for this game, and fulfils our app criteria. There is no limit on how old app writing samples can be. If it is written by you and shows your character's personality, it is good with us! However if in doubt, you are welcome to write a new sample as well as submitting an old thread. Can I pick a canon point after the end of my canon? What about at the beginning? When choosing or updating to a canon point, there should be enough canon information to support your characterization at the point you are pulling from. For instance, choosing a canon point during an epilogue would be fine, so long as you can describe (and support using canon evidence) any changes your character might have experienced between the end of canon and the epilogue. How long should a "buzzword" be? Can it be a phrase? In the app, "buzzwords" are single words (or short statements) that actively describe your character's strengths and weaknesses. So for example for strengths, "intelligent, charismatic, friendly" and for weaknesses, "stubborn, annoying, clingy". These traits should be adequately reflected in the personality section. Ideally, one "buzzword" shouldn't be more than a few words long ("good with technology" or "hates changing plans" would be OK, but anything longer needs to be condensed.) Can I backdate my character's arrival before the intro log (to tag into earlier logs, for example)? Backdating a character's appearance to before the intro log is not possible. All the new gods and shinki appear at the same time, at the time of the intro log. If I have plans for my shinki to be named but it hasn't ICly happened yet, should I comment to the shinki page now or wait until the thread is done? You are welcome to post updates about your god/shinki assignments at any time. If you have plans set with another player but just haven't been able to play it out yet, you can still preemptively post the updates on the information pages. A note that it is in advance would be helpful as to not confuse other players, and to help the mods when checking pairings. Applications: Appable Characters What if I want to app in a character that is dead in their canon? That's totally acceptable! Seeing as shinki and gods are residents of the world of the dead anyway, it's perfectly normal for them to have been dead to begin with. Characters that are dead in canon are welcome to come in as either a god or shinki. Your character will have still died in their canon and will just find that they are suddenly 'alive' again and existing in a completely different way than they remember. Can I app any canon characters from Noragami? Noragami characters get a special sort of treatment here at The Far Shore. They are appable characters and you are more than welcome to apply for them! But even when they do not have someone playing them, they will be seen as still existing and functioning behind the scenes. Essentially, the Noragami characters are appable NPCs, so if you want to app a Noragami character, you should get in touch with the mods to find out what has happened with that character during the course of the game. Are AU characters allowed? What about CRAUs? Any canon AU character is allowed. For example, vampire Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer would be considered an appable character, but a zombie AU that you created yourself would not be. CRAUs are allowed, though! You simply need to add an account of what happened in their previous game to the history section of your application. However, only one version of each character is allowed in the game. Two of the same character, one canon and one CRAU, would not be allowed. If duplicates aren't allowed, what about reincarnations? Reincarnations of characters are appable, so long as the reincarnation is a distinct character. For example, if someone wanted to app Priest Set and someone else already played Seto Kaiba in this game, that would be acceptable since, while Seto is a reincarnation of Set, they are two entirely different characters. But if someone wanted to app the same character from two different points on their personal timeline, for instance as a child and as an adult, that would not be acceptable. Can I app my MMO character? Player-characters you make yourself in MMO games such as Elder Scrolls (Skyrim, Dragonborn), FFXIV or WoW would be considered fandom OCs, and are not considered appable, because any personality they have would be made up by the player. The exception would be for player characters who are written with a strong personality in the game canon. For example, if the game narrative closely follows their personal development and struggle, both with moral decisions and the path they ultimately take. The character canonically makes certain choices in story progression, and their responses to NPC quests likewise give indications of how they feel about certain events. Essentially, if the game writing gives the player character a strong canonical characterization, they may be appable. Can I app silent protags? What about characters whose personality/characterization shifts based on players' choices? "Silent protags" or heroes that make choices based on the player's choices are acceptable to app, so long as there is sufficient information in their canon to clearly show their own personality. For instance through their actions, what other characters say about them, item descriptions, etc. (ie, Shepard from Mass Effect or the Protagonist from Persona 5). Can I app a character from a canon that hasn't been released in English or fan translated? If a character comes from a canon which has no English translation, and barely any information about it available in English, you can still app that character. However, we will be expecting a detailed history section in the app. Can I app my original character? Yes. We welcome original characters based in players' original work, although we do not accept canon OCs. Since original characters are your own creation, you do have to write up a full history section for them. The history section does not have to be in paragraph format -- bulleted lists or timelines of the character's life would be acceptable. If it is in paragraph format, though, we would need at least four paragraphs. The personality section remains the most important part of the app, so please concentrate your efforts on that, using the history section to support points of your character's personality. Applications: Gods & Shinki How should I pick whether my character is a god or shinki? For the question in the app about why you want your character to be a god/shinki, we simply want to know what made you decide that was the best fit for your character. It can be as simple as "I like this dynamic better" or as complicated as "his personality makes him fit this role for this reason." The same character can be apped as either a god or a shinki, or even switched from one role to another while in game. Which you feel suits best is up to you! Do I have to app my character as a god if I play them as a god on the Test Drive, or a shinki if I test drive them as a shinki? The Test Drive is for you to figure out the dynamics of the game, so you are welcome to pretend anything you'd like with it. Test Drive threads are not considered game canon, so it's fine to play your character as either (or both!) a god or shinki regardless of what you eventually decide to app as. Can I app someone in as a human, not as a god or shinki? No, human or non-shinki spirit characters are not currently being accepted into the game. All characters must be either a god or a shinki. The only exception to this would be Noragami canon characters who are human or part-spirit, such as Hiyori. I want to pick a goddess for my male character or a god for my female character. Is this OK? Yes. Your character does not have to be the same gender as the deity that you select for them. I'm familiar with the Noragami canon. A person who has committed suicide can't become a shinki, right? Wrong! Any and all types of death are acceptable for shinki characters. The shinki coming into game are brought in through a mechanism distinct from the canon method of gods finding and naming wandering souls, so canon restrictions do not apply. The shinki character I want to app has died more than one time in their canon (or in CRAU, for instance from a canon death plus a murdergame). Which death should I pick? In the case of a shinki who has died more than one time due to timeline shenanigans, CRAU or canon powers, their god will see all of the shinki's deaths when naming them. In other words, you don't have to choose! Briefly describing them in your application is fine. My character doesn't die in canon, but I want to app them as a shinki. What should I do? You can make your shinki's death anything you like. Even if your character has a canon death, you are welcome to take your character from an earlier point and give them a different death. If you want to add some non-canon detail after the character's canon point to make a death plausible, that is acceptable. Please let us know that it is your headcanon, though. You can make the description of the character's death as detailed or as simple as you like in the app, as long as it's clear how the character died. Just keep in mind that your god's player might ask more details of you, as god characters see the shinki's memory of their death when they name a shinki. For an incident in canon to count as a "death," the soul of the character has to leave the body to be brought into the game. For example, a canon instance where the character's soul is asleep inside another person would not be acceptable, and the player would have to think of a way to have the soul leave that person. My character doesn't die in canon, but I want to app them as a god. Should I make up a death for them? Gods do not need to enter the game by death the way shinki do. Characters chosen to be a god simply disappear from their own world, and wake up in this one. You should not make up a non-canon death for a god character. How fast will my character be able to use their new god or shinki powers? How strong are they? Regarding the god and shinki vessel powers given in this game (the one chosen when you apped), we will leave it up to the players to give their characters a reasonable curve of learning their new power over time in line with their follower/experience gains. Gods and shinki do not automatically know what their power is or have it mastered, and some powers may be easier to figure out than others. In general, a god with more followers is more powerful than a god with fewer, and a shinki with more experience is more powerful than a shinki with less. I want to pick different powers for each god option on my app. Can I? When applying for a god character, you can pick different powers for each potential god you choose. For example: Thor, storm powers. Loki, illusion powers. Sif, berserker. (If you do this, please remember to clearly describe what each power will be able to do, with any conditions, limitations or requirements, in your application.) Can my character's god power change their appearance or physical abilities? Yes. When apping a god, you are allowed to change the physiology of your character as a power, as well as gain some ability due to the change in physiology. For example, a character getting an Egyptian God as their selection could choose to add 'Egyptian deity physiology' as their power. As a result of having that physiology, the character could have, for example, a slightly stronger body and the power of a hawk's sense of vision. The number of enhancements based on a power like this should be limited. More than a couple of unrelated enhancements would be too much for one person to have. Can I pick a fictional god? Should a character be a god in their own canon, they can apply to be that god in the game as well. Fictional gods, including gods in the character's canon, are acceptable. We still require that three gods are filled in on the application, but you can order them by preference. What if there isn't a lot of information on the god I want to choose? No matter how little information about the god there is, even if it's just a couple sentences on a wiki, it is still appable. However, if there isn't much information available on the god, you should include more detail in the app section about what kind of god the character intends to be. In the case of applying for a god that has no particular dominion, players are free to make up a fictional association, or to make their best guess based on the mythology. The god I want to choose has a lot of different names and aspects. How should I pick? Does my character get all of them? In the case of a god that has a lot of different aspects/names, for example, Parvati of Hinduism, each one of those other aspects would be separate, because they are represented separately in much of the mythology. A player apping a character as Parvati can choose as much of the lore to draw from as they wish in deciding what particular areas of interest are covered by the god. However, other names/aspects would be considered separate deities, and could be apped by other players. This also holds true for gods who are identified with one another but are worshipped under different names and with slightly different traditions in multiple countries. For example, the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is worshipped in China as Guanyin and in Japan as Kannon. For the purposes of the game, all three could be applied for by different characters, as they have different names and different traditions associated with each name. What if I want to app a fictional version of a god that another character has already picked? For instance, Thor or Loki? In a case like that, as long as the character you want to play isn't already in game, you're free to app them. However, they would have to take the role of a different god, or a shinki. For example, the god Amaterasu is a mod NPC in the game. However, "Amaterasu" characters from other platforms, such as the game Okami, are still appable. They just cannot apply to be the god Amaterasu in this game. What kinds of things can I pick for my shinki's vessel? Does it have to be a weapon? The sky is the limit! Shinki vessels can be household goods, weapons, armor, clothing, even animals or people. You may want to consider the practicality of your choice -- gag transformations might be difficult to play in game -- but there are no restrictions on what shinki can become. Shinki vessels that are based on items from the character's home world are acceptable. OK, I don't want to pick a weapon. Will my character still be able to fight ayakashi? If a shinki takes the form of a non-traditional weapon, creative liberties can be taken with it! For example, an umbrella could snap closed to "chew up" ayakashi, or a scarf could tangle around them and squeeze. A shinki that takes the form of clothing or armor could allow the god to wrestle or punch ayakashi. If your shinki is going to have a specific ayakashi-fighting ability in their vessel form (beyond "my character's god can use their vessel form to hit/stab/crush/choke/etc ayakashi"), that would count as their power and should be mentioned on your app. Can my character talk in shinki form? If you want your shinki to be able to speak aloud in vessel form, you should mention this in your app, as it is a very unusual ability. Normally, shinki in vessel form can only communicate telepathically with their god. As long as their vessel form is something reasonably capable of producing sound/speech, such as an animal or something with speakers, this would not count as their shinki power. My character doesn't have a canon name. If they're a shinki, what name would they remember? In the case of characters who have no given name in canon, players are welcome to use whatever they are mostly called by as their name. For example a profession (Medicine Seller) or a nickname (Ii-chan) is acceptable. For all intents and purposes, the nickname is the character's name because they have no proper name stated in canon. Their god can later give them a proper name as well as their vessel name, if the players agree. Applications: Character Appearance My character has more than one canon appearance (because of VR/shape-changing/etc.) What will they look like in game? For characters that are from series that primarily take place in video games or a virtual world (.hack, Sword Art Online, Log Horizon, etc.) where the character's real life body isn't really shown, we leave it up to the player what appearance they would like to use-either the real life look, or the character in the video game. As many video game canons don't always show the real-life bodies, it is perfectly acceptable to just use what is actually shown in the canon. If a character was forced into a form different from the one they were born with/naturally have (by being cursed, experimented on, etc), and die in that changed form, they can come into the game with either that form, or their original/natural form. We leave it up to the player to decide which they want to use. In the app, you can tell us why you chose that form in particular, if it relates to their personality. Shapeshifters would have their shapeshifting considered a power, and like other powers, they are welcome to include it on their application and keep it in game (subject to mod approval.) Does my nonhuman character have to be humanized? No. Nonhuman characters can come into game in their natural forms: it's the player's choice whether to make any changes to help them play the character. For example, if a character is naturally three stories tall, a player could choose to retain their natural form, but make them only 8 feet tall, in order to make it easier for them to interact with the setting and other characters in game. Does my character still have any scars or marks they had in life? Even if they're a shinki? Scars and other permanent marks, such as tattoos or birthmarks, would remain on both gods and shinki when they arrive in the game. Shinki would have no recollection of why they have such marks. My character had a weak constitution or chronic illness in canon. Will they be healed? What if I'm taking them from a canon point where they were injured? You're allowed to keep whatever illnesses or injuries you would like to. If your character was physically weak or unwell in life you can choose to have that remain the same. Any deadly illness would no longer be deadly because they're already dead in the case of shinki, and resistant to death from illness in the case of gods. If you prefer to have your character returned to health (this is the afterlife, after all!) then that's fine as well. Shinki would have no traces on them to show how they died (wounds, bruises, etc.) Applications: Items & Powers Can my character keep their powers? Absolutely. The Far Shore is more than happy to have your character keep their powers, aside from world-breaking ones that would have to be toned down to fit the setting. If you would prefer for your character to lose their powers, that is perfectly acceptable too. You will just have to detail that in your application. However, any powers that are dependent on aspects intrinsic to the character's original world will not be available in Noragami's modern Earth environment. For instance, a character who can use magic because of a link to a magical being in their home world would not still have that link in The Far Shore. What does my character have with them when they show up here? The items that a character brings with them into this world are limited to what they have on their person at the time. (At the time of death for shinki, and the time of disappearance for gods.) This includes items that are worn, in hand, or in a pocket. Items nearby, no matter how important, would be left behind. For example, a character who wears a sword all the time will likely have it on their person, and it would then be brought with them. A character who only wears a sword when in battle may or may not have had it on their person at the time of being brought into the game. The player should think about the circumstances the character was in at the time. Any items that were on the character's person before dying can be brought over. If the character, for example, died in an explosion and everything was incinerated, they would still get to bring anything they had on them before dying in the explosion. Technology brought into the game will continue to work so long as whatever it needs to work still functions. For example, a holographic emitter that makes costumes or a duel disk from the Yu-Gi-Oh series. Magical items will work as well, provided that they are not reliant on something that can only be found in the character's home world. If the item breaks or runs out of power, the character will need to find someone with the know-how to fix it, or it will remain broken. Certain features of items may need to be powered down for the setting, for example a duel disk's illusions not having real mass, but rather remaining only illusions. My character has a pet. Can I bring them along? Unfortunately, no. Your poor pet is being left behind back at home. You are more than welcome to adopt new pets in the game, though! Animals, and particularly cats, have an easier time sensing things of the Far Shore. Therefore, they are able to be taken to heaven to be pets for the gods and shinki there. Pokemon or other magical creatures would count as pets, unless they have enough personality to be considered an appable character. Although they cannot be brought in initially, both magical and non-magical pets can be regained using a character's experience points. I want to app a Fate/ servant character. How can they make a contract in game? In regards to servant characters from the fate/ series: Noragami is a world lacking in the servant/master mechanism seen in fate/. The spirits are not being summoned as 'servants', but are taking the roles of 'shinki' or 'gods'. Therefore, while there is a contract of sorts between shinki and god, it is not the same as in the fate/ universe. There are no 'masters' and no command spells, and (as opposed to being 'sustained' in fate/ canon) none of them need a supply of mana to maintain their form, as the magic that brought them here gave them form. In fate/ canon, a servant's power was linked to their master. While that specific mechanic doesn't apply in this game, players can choose for a servant character in this game to find that they can use their more powerful canon abilities as they gain followers/experience. Should the player choose, they can have the character retain the ability to 'leech' energy from characters that they form meaningful IC bonds with, and that energy can give them a small boost to their abilities/spells. Is there any way for my character to get belongings they didn't have on them when they died? Yes. Your followers or exp can be used in order to obtain regains. Small items (small enough to fit in a room) or large items (too big to fit in a room -- like buildings or ships) can both be regained. Pets could also be regained. My character summons a weapon or spirit to fight for them. Will they still be able to summon it in game? A character who summons a weapon in their canon may or may not be able to summon it in the game. If they summon or pull out a weapon/spirit from a storage point in their original world, they would not be able to access it in this world. For example, the Magic Knights would not be able to summon Rayearth or the other gods, because they reside in their temples in Cephiro until called. However if the weapon is a part of the character's body or held magically within themselves, it would be accessible because it is with them and on their person now. The weapon is personally bonded to the character themselves, even if it only sometimes manifests. This includes keyblades from the Kingdom Hearts series, weapons that have been bonded to the character like Gojyo's polearm in the Saiyuki series, or a weapon that manifests from their personal magical power, like Sailor Moon's Moon Rod. My character has a magical transformation. Can it still work in game? Characters from magical girl type shows (Sailor Moon, Nanoha, Devil Hunter Yohko, etc) will still have access to their transformation and abilities, provided they had any needed magical item on their person when they came to the game. My character's magic comes from a god in their world. Will it still work in game? Powers that come from a third party in the character's canon world would not work in this setting, as it is not a power within the character themselves. For example, if a character is possessed by another sentient being that gives them their power, that being would be left behind when the character came to this world. If the character uses magic in their home world by beseeching a god to act on their behalf, the god would not be able to hear them and thus their magic would not work in this world. However, powers that are internal to the character or a part of the character, even if they were originally granted by a third party, could still be used in game. For example, in the case of zanpakutou swords from Bleach, both the sword and its personality are a part of the shinigami. Therefore, shinigami can bring the sword into the game and the character can have access to its powers. (In the case of a sword like Zangetsu, who is an appable character in his own right, as well as being Ichigo's zanpakutou, we will take the application on a case-by-case basis.) In the example of Marry from Mekakucity Actors, she is possessed by a snake god. That snake god would be left behind should Marry enter the game, and any powers it granted would be lost to her. My character has a power that affects demons in their world. Will it work on ayakashi? If a character has a natural ability that allows them to eat/absorb demons, this can also be used on ayakashi. A player wishing to use such an ability should detail it in their application. Keep in mind that the only way to destroy an ayakashi is by rending it, which is a spell used by god and shinki together. Therefore it is up to the player what kind of consequence the character would have by having eaten an undestroyable being. For characters who can absorb a demon's power, an ayakashi's power can be likewise absorbed. Typically speaking, ayakashi powers will relate to what they're doing. So a pickpocket ayakashi is good at being unobserved, an ayakashi causing fires will have firestarting abilities, things like that. All ayakashi have enhanced strength as a base power. My character has a power that can be used on souls. Can my character 'send on' souls that they find in game? Characters that are shinigami, soul reapers or the like will not be able to affect souls the same way they can in their own canons. The underworld and system of souls in the Noragami world is not the same, and therefore those powers, such as a Bleach shinigami's soul burial, will not work. The character is welcome to try, but nothing will happen to the soul. My character is CRAU and learned powers in their previous game. Can they keep those powers? Players can choose to keep, or lose, any skills or abilities that the character learned while in another game/CRAU. Please outline them in your app. My character can see the future. Will this work in game? Characters with a precognitive ability are appable, but be aware that that power might need to be limited, and should be run by the mods first. Please communicate with the mod team if you have any questions about using that power in this game. Applications: Reapplication If I'm reapping a character I previously had in game, can they keep their memories? In the case of reapplying the same character to the same status as god or shinki, the player can choose what memories from the game the character keeps. If a character left the game via death, the death mechanic will apply. In other words, they can keep only one important memory of their previous time in game. However, in this case, they could use the "reverse death" regain to get those in-game memories back. When reapping in as a different status, shinki becoming gods can remember their time in the game. They can also now remember their canon past. Gods becoming shinki would forget their time as a god, and would only be able to find out about what happened with them in their time as a god through others ICly telling them. However, characters telling them about their time as a god are not harmful memories to them. (The memories that cause a shinki to corrupt into an ayakashi are those from their pre-death past, which is to say their life in their canon.) Memories from the character's time in the game as a god cannot be regained through the 'regain' mechanic. A reapp is treated like a canon update in that the character disappears for a while, then returns. Gods remember going home, while shinki don't. |
