    Bleach: Origin [OOC]

    Bleach: Origin
    IC

    Rukongai was in constant peril
    Hollows and thieves were everywhere
    Spiritual balance was dissipating
    But the scoundrels did not seem to care

    The realms of spirits needed justice
    But this need was first ignored
    Until a roar was heard, the mighty man
    From his soul’s sheath drew a sword


    * * *
    Since the creation of the universe and it’s dimentions, Soul Society has always existed as a resting place for dead souls. However, there has always been disturbances and nuisances here as well. There are those who become lawless in their afterlife and disturb the harmony in Rukongai – the district of the regular souls. And of course there are the transdimensional horrors called Hollows, created from the frustration of lingering souls.

    For a long time, there was no system in place to deal with these scoundrels. Either the regular souls gathered and made a stand, or nothing happened at all. However, one lucky day, a mighty man found a power called ‘reiatsu’ within his grasp, and in an attempt to extract it from his being created another entity united to himself materialized as a sword. With this revolutionary technique developed, a group called the Shinigami hastily formed and started to deal rough justice to those who disturbed the common soul. However, not everyone accepted that the jurisdiction of the Shinigami was so absolute, and the society soon split into conflicting sides.

    As a roleplayer, you will play a soul who has just joined the Shinigami – believing that they are the true justifiers of Soul Society. You have yet to learn the way of the zanpakto, not even being able to materialize one. However, you will soon rise in those ranks that exist in the still small group and make your name one to remember…

    * * *

    The First Arc
    The ones we are fighting are called the Kokyoshito (literally "apostles of noblemen's death") and have, like the shinigami, learned how to manipulate reiatsu in the form of certain scrolls. These scrolls are called Bakufuku (literally "exploding scroll") and the main difference between them and the zanpakuto is that the bakufuku are disposable. This means that the kokyoshito can carry more bakufukus at a time and they can easily construct new ones. The bakufuku work somewhat similarly to kido, as in that they write chants on the bakufukus which, when activated, causes a certain effect. In most cases, some kind of explosion.

    Character Sheet

    Name: (Something somewhat Japanese please)
    Age: (For how long have you been dead?)
    Apparent age: (How old do you seem?)
    Gender: (Keep it simple, Male or Female?)

    Appearance: (Give me at least a good two paragraphs here. Note that you should wear a uniform)
    Distinguishing features: (How do we recognize the character?)

    Personality: (Again, at least two good paragraphs. We want complexity!)
    Distinguishing traits: (Likes, dislikes, habits etc.)

    Stats: (read all about it in the stats-section below)
    Offense:
    Defense:
    Agility:
    Reiatsu:
    Intelligense:
    Physical strength:
    Unused points: 24

    Zanpakto name: (This should actually have a Japanese meaning)
    Description: (What is the materialization of the soul of your zanpakto, as in Ichigo’s is a middle-aged man, and what does your spirit realm look like, as in Ichigo’s is a world of endless skyscrapers)
    Sealed form: (How does it look in its original state? Probably very much like a normal katana)
    Manipulations: (Don’t add anything here until you learn it. This is the section where abilities tied to your zanpakto goes, in example shikai and bankai)

    Reiatsu manipulations: (Don’t put anything here until you learn it. This is where you put techniques you learn using raw reiatsu, in example kido)

    * * *
    Stats
    Improving each stat costs as much as the level you want to increase it to. Increasing a stat from 0 to 1 costs 1 stat point, increasing it from 1 to 2 costs 2 and so on. Increasing a stat from 99 999 to 100 000 costs 100 000 stat points, yes. Do you understand?
    A new character starts with 24 points, and then you will gain more as you complete missions and so on.

    Offense is the stat that governs how good the character is offensively. This includes both offensive use of the zanpakto and offensive strategy.

    Defense is the stat that governs how good the character is defensively. This includes both defensive use of the zanpakto and defensive strategy.

    Agility is the stat that governs the speed and dexterity of the character. This also includes the reaction speed of the character and stealth.

    Reiatsu is the stat that describes the amount of reiatsu the character has and how good he/she is at manipulating it. Also how good the contact between weilder and zanpakto is.

    Intelligence governs how fast the mind of the character is, how good he/she is at learning, how strategic the character is and how fast an opponents abilities are grasped and can be countered.

    Physical strength is simply how fit and well built the character is, especially considering raw power. It will also work as a small increase in all physical capabilities, as well as say something about the health of the character.

    Alright, I think that's about as good as I can get him... Personality-wise I'm aiming for a toned down Kyoraku Shunsui (7th captain), not sure if it's clear enough.

    Asa Hinode
    ( Loosely translated as " Morning Sunrise " )
    Appearance
    Spoiler
    " I just want to protect the innocent. To let the dead get the rest they deserve. "

    Name: Asa Hinode
    Age: 178
    Apparent age: 25
    Gender: Male

    Appearance
    Asa stands at 6´3 feet ( 195 centimeters ) tall, weighing about 165 pounds ( 75 kilograms) . His physical attributes gave him a tall, lean figure. His build is slightly muscular. He has a young, warm, mostly smiling face with smooth features. He wears a tattoo on the left side of his face, near his left eye. His pupils are colored yellow, but his eyes emit the same warmth as his smile. His has silver white, spiky hair that is reaching to his neck.

    His outfit consists of a black, short sleeved tight attire, looking like a t-shirt with a high neck, which he always wears standing. He wears black, loose trousers that end at his knees, and on his right knee, he wears a kneepad, to aid him in his favored combat style. The belt he wears is tied around his waist in a cross resembling pattern. His boots are black, knee high ones with silver pieces of metal in them, each of them engraved with the kanji " hogo ( protect ) " engraved on every one of them. On top of that, he wears a black haori - like robe that is tied with a silk cloth around his waist, with the white kanji for " justice " sew on it´s back. He wears the robe only on one of his shoulders, the second half of it just hanging down. The sheet of his sword is plain black, and it´s hilt is decorated by gold quadrangles. He wears his sheet on his left leg, the sheet itself strapped onto his trousers. . On his arms, he wears samurai like pieces of armor.

    Distinguishing features
    Tall, lean figure.
    High mobility, despite of his physical build.
    Very precise movements.
    Skillful in Swordsmanship.

    Personality
    Asa is an open minded, patient, relatively optimistic person. He has a strong sense of justice, hence his reason to become a Shinigami. Seeking justice and peace is above all means for him, and he decided to devote his newly found and awakened powers to that purpose. He is very kind, willing to help those in need. He always makes sure to use honorifics when he talks with people he likes, even if they don´t like him. Asa is very relaxed when in the presence of his fellow Death Gods, feeling he found people that understood and accept him the way he is. He always praises the ones around him, should they made any kind of advancement in their prowess, and is very humble when he is praised.

    In battle, his personality changes completely. Asa changes from his face from a smiling one to a face that shows no emotion altogether, the look in his eyes changing from a warm to a menacing, darker one. He knows no mercy for those who attempt to disturb the rest of the deceased, and will act this way. To his enemies, or the ones who disrespect his morals, he has an arrogant, cold personality. He is almost immune to the insults and taunts of his enemies, only reacting to them when they refer to the ones he seeks to protect.

    Distinguishing traits
    Hard working - while not on a mission, he is training most of the time.
    Confidence - Despite his humble traits, Asa beliefs in his own abilities, his behavior reflects this - he talks with a firm, determined voice.
    Friendly - he likes to spend a lot of time with his fellow Shinigami, be it training or just talking.

    Stats
    Offense: 2
    Defense: 2
    Agility: 3
    Reiatsu: 4
    Intelligence: 2
    Physical strength: 2
    Unused points: 0

    Zanpakto name: Amateru ( " Shining in Heaven " )

    Description: The materialization of Amateru is a being that Asa himself describes as the " Goddess Of The Sun ", a woman of gentle, noble features which moves with an unparalleled grace in her movements, and is very moody. She can be very humble, and on the other hand, very teasing.
    Amateru´s spirit realm is a calm, peaceful greenfield, with several trees on it, where gentle winds blow and clouds are a rarity. Despite the constant shining of the sun, the grass or the trees never die out. When Asa´s is in doubt or saddened, a thunderstorm creates itself in his inner world.

    Sealed form: A usual katana, that is about 140 centimeters long. Nothing goes out of the ordinary here, except the kanji for " sun ( nichi ) " engraved on the bottom of it´s hilt. He has a piece of red - golden silk hanging from the hilt of Amateru.

    @Halvtand: We'll need at least one more after Fox before we start in my opinion, but I really don't care how many we are. After all, this is a setting where there would be no problem if people jumped in anytime.

    @FoxSVK: Can't wait to see what kind of crazy character you make B)

    Indeed, a group of three might be a bit small for this kind of game. I wish I knew someone that we could invite, but the people I know who also happens to be interested in bleach, pbp and who can keep interest in a game for more than a few posts are none...

    Anyway, I'm fine with a smaller group to begin with. I mean, even if it'll end up with just being the three of us until the end of the game that might be better than if we would wait for other players and have to deal with drops and stuff...

    Name: Gunki Hiroto
    Age: 213 years
    Apparent age: 24 years of age
    Gender: Male

    Appearance:
    Hiroto’s build is one that is definitely athletic, but quite slim and lean. This, of course, does not mean he is any weaker than he should be. He is about six feet tall, maybe a bit taller, making him a figure you respect, but not fear. His skin has a slight tan to it, but not so much that he looks Hispanic. Hiroto’s hair is a quite dull black, not as black as the night sky, but darker than black pepper. The hair is quite short and grows forward towards his forehead all over so that it spikes out like a horn above his face.

    His face is outlined by a strong jaw and rounded cheekbones, being stern but at the same time open to emotion. His nose is straight, giving him a determined look. His eyes are open and lively, but have rigidity and shift fast when moving, as if they only move on direct command by Hiroto. The irises are dark brown to the point that there is almost no color, but have a golden shine to them closer to the pupils.

    Distinguishing features:
    • His slim, somewhat tall stature
    • The determined movements
    • The aura of authority and self-respect


    Personality:
    If anything, Hiroto is an honest man – sometimes too honest. His ability to see the reality and nothing more is something quite unique to him. This shines through in the way Hiroto talks; he never says more than necessary, keeping his words easy and understandable. This is the reason why many tend to trust Hiroto, but not get to know him as fast. His mind is strategic, not in a calculative way, but in an intuitive way. He simply sees extraordinary solutions in situations as they come to him. This is why Hiroto is, in many ways, a natural leader.

    The reason why he wanted to become a shinigami is firstly that Hiroto’s biggest pleasure, what makes his heart and soul content, is for anyone to avoid troubles in their way. This means that he will defend his allies to a quite extended point because it is his duty and his pleasure. This obviously means that he also cares too much, and therefore, in example, listens a lot to other people’s conversations.

    Distinguishing traits:
    • He is quite quiet
    • When he says something, his voice is loud and clear
    • Sometimes a bit condescending
    • Very direct and realistic
    • Always seems to eavesdrop on conversations and then admit it afterwards


    Stats:
    Offense: 2
    Defense: 3
    Agility: 1
    Reiatsu: 2
    Intelligense: 4
    Physical strength: 2
    Unused points: 2

    Zanpakto name: Goujieichou
    Description:
    The spirit realm of Goujieichou is a large field of battle where roars of victory and cries of defeat are heard constantly. There are pieces of armor and deceased samurai soldiers lying everywhere on the open terrain, and even some patches of burning grass.
    Goujieichou himself manifests as an extremely large man with brilliant samurai armor. His face is not visible through the helmet, only orange glimmering eyes. His voice is extremely loud and authoritative, to the point where it is heard clearly over all the voices in the spirit realm.

    Sealed form:
    A normal katana, maybe slightly long, the blade crafted in a radiant metal almost lighter than the hue of silver. The guard is rectangular and bent towards the grip, the whole hilt being red and golden. From the pommel runs a piece of red silk, about the size of a small flag. The sheath is golden with ornaments traditional to ancient Japan.

    Manipulations: None

    Reiatsu manipulations: None
