Lol... I just dunno how much of a threat you want me to be as a villain, makes balancing powers very difficult :;(. Or I could be an anti hero and thus have a point to start. lol.

Tatsua Aiisen Leader doesn't necessarily mean in charge of all. This of course is subject to the class of which we are referring. In terms of Visored characters, Alexander acts as a beacon to wayward Visored who aren't familiar with their powers. Along with being in a teaching role, as in teaching them to use their powers, he is more a leader then the leader, possessing leadership qualities. Because of that, he does have followers and admires who try to help him in his efforts and/or live by his example. Generally speaking, Visored don't have the same hierarchy that Gōtie 13 since they've been cast out of the society. However teamwork and organization is still a part of their training since they were mostly high ranking soul reapers.

Archmage MC The level of your character is up to you. General speaking, I would avoid what could be considered OP as an overpowered character will likely not be accepted. A moderately to high power character on the other hand is fine. With that in mind, the power level of your character is up to you. Post a sheet and we'll look over it together.

QT We are indeed accepting. I look forward to your character.

Meh, if QT is going to be a good guy I'll prob make a good guy instead. being the only villain would also mean I'd have to have a character who can start fights with everyone, which means they'd be more powerful than everyone to offset the numbers advantage they have and give conflict to the story, and I'm weary that people will be annoyed with that more than anything. :P.

If I do make a good guy, am I restricted to making them human looking or can I get creative?

Archmage MC There are plenty of villain NPC's who will come and go so don't worry about being the only villain. Remember this is a massive world. It would be irresponsible of me to leave you guys alone in it. I'm writing the npc's while I wait for your sheets. So feel free to be as evil as you want if that is indeed what you want

ah no, I was just going to do it because a couple years ago I was in a bleach RP where I was co villaning with another person, and it lasted like 1500 posts. But if you can keep up with being the villains, I'll be a good guy. Assuming I can make someone who isn't human looking :P.

Actually.... how would you like a 'good' hollow character? Starts evil, then changes over time to be a good guy? up to you. I dunno, Bleach RPs give me so much uncertainty, I've had lots of different types of GMs and they all want different things :(.

I dunno, I just wanna interact with everyone a lot. :P.

Ok I'll post two characters then. I can fit them to go anywhere or be mostly any race, just let me know if the abilities are balanced. If you like the abilities I'll write up the history and everything. They fit more in a superheroish setting, but Bleach is just a japanese superhero parody anyway. Also if you want I can play a scaling game with them throught the RP and reduce their abilities if they're too much, and I'm sure they are.

Archmage MC said Bleach is just a japanese superhero parody


You can literally apply this logic to any published battle shounen. If your intent is to make a villain for a Bleach RP, then make a Bleach villain and not a supervillain from one of the Big Two.

Some things really have to be pointed out.

From reading the abilities alone, MC does not particularly seem appropriate simply because of how much he can do as a Hollow, even if he is a higher levelled one. The formula followed, which can be gartered from observation alone, goes innate abilities (cero etcetera which would allow us to identify the character/creature as a hollow) and then something additional to grant them their own distinct flavour. If we take MC's abilities don't really have a flavour and more of an overload of spices. With one, two, maybe even three of the eleven very conceptually separate abilities he has he could be more distinct as a character rather than falling into the trap of 'more powers=bigger bad'. As he is now he's an odd amalgamation of Aizen, Starrk, Kido Corps and I'd even dare say a bit of Gremmy with what he has. I can't pick up what he -does- as a character, it's just stuff.

Sticking 'mage' in front of someone and then saying he can do all this stuff when a wealth of abilities and sources are present in the setting to be developed and worked on a decent powerset does not make.

Also, as a note, Truth Aura strikes me as rather contrived. It limits agency of a character in rather frustrating way with weak 'pullbacks' for what it grants. Chaos Magic does not really contribute much of anything.

Art of Fun Accepted.

Archmage MC
Firstly, these both appear to be Arrancar class characters, not hollows. Hollow's are more common and have finite number of abilities. I would look over the description provided in the topic post.

For your character, MC; I'm fine with the majority of his abilities with the acception of Silence, Summoning, and Reform. Silence, regardless of how infrequently it is used, is a form of controlling another character which is a roleplay taboo. For Summoning, though you can open a portal to hueco mundo and attract hollows with spiritual pressure, simply materializing a hollow goes against the natural order. It wont hurt to go hunting. As for reform, vital organs aren't able to be regenerated as they provide the basic needs to generate spiritual powers. Rapid regeneration for all other parts of the body however is fine. Beyond this, MC looks ready to be accepted.

For Light; Extreme Regeneration is a no no for the same reasons being my explanation from Reform. Even the most powerful forms of regenerations have a limit. Also it takes away from your other abilities. Extreme Strength or Kinetic Combat. I would pick just one. Personally I like you Kinetic Combat ability better then just sheer strength. Maybe instead of flat out power, Light's power could scale with her kinetic speed. So in the beginning of a combat situation, she would be relatively slow and weak, but can rise to dangerous levels as the battle continues.

I still want to have balance among characters within the story. As I said before, traits that are considered OP should be avoided or at least be countered by an equal weakness.

As a side note to all, remember that not everyone participating is as versed on the bleach universe nor the roleplay universe as everyone else. We have to give a bit of slack to keep from intimidating those that could otherwise grow to become great writers. A bit of light constructive criticism is encouraged, but for the most part should be kept to messages. I know from experience it can come off as an attack when done publicly which can lead to confusion

On a further side note, I'll be ready to post the IC tomorrow evening so get your characters in asap. I would hate to see anyone miss out on anything. That said this thread is always accepting. I'm positive people are going to ask anyway so feel free to let them know it's alright to submit a character sheet.

Time for me to go into sleep mode for a few hours. I look forward to beginning the adventure with you all tomorrow.

Oh, and by the way, not every Lieutenant needs a bankai~!


I actually couldn't remember if that was the case or not. ^^; Been a while since I've read Bleach, after all. But if Keiko does have a Bankai it's probably newly manifested and she doesn't use it much... Partially because I can't figure out what to make her Bankai actually do. Hmmm.

Also... SIN, out of curiosity, how many characters are we allowed? Since I'm considering making a second one either to fill out the ranks of one of the factions that doesn't have many (or indeed, any) characters, or a rookie Reaper, although I don't really have any concrete plans right now so it's fine if we're only allowed one right now.

I think he(I assume) said multiple characters were allowed like 3 or 4 times. Btw I'm still looking for someone to "collaborate" with on my zanpakuto spirit character. That is, if your interested.

I must have missed that. ^^; Was too busy working on Keiko, and kind of posted that after I'd just gotten up. Whoops. Anyways, um, we'll see how things turn out I guess. Need to get a more solid idea first after all. Hmmm.

The strange offspring of Yumichika, Kenpachi, and Sui Feng.
Name: Minamoto Kotohime



Age: Unknown

Gender: Female

Class: Shinigami, Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 and Captain of the 1st Division



History: For an unknown period of time, Kotohime has served as the head captain. Far more active than Genryusai ever was, since she happens to not be a wizened old man, and her shikai does not come with an enormous construction bill and a lot of accidentally-vaporised inferiors. Plus, she is far more eager to fight and willing enough to let vacant captain slots be filled by putting up a good challenge in one-on-one combat... in addition to any promotion-by victory scenarios the 11th may have going on.

Staring Location: Seireitei

For those of you having problems with MC's long list of abilities, minus the ones the GM complains about, I could just make him a shimigami very skilled in kido and you wouldn't complain, no matter where he was seated. Blame the bleach creator for that little balance issue. I understand the silence/summoning/reform stuff though.

Light.... How would you make a fist to fist melee fighter? Super strength is usually a necessity for that, unless you want me to give her batman powers, and no one likes fighting batman :P. that idea with kinetic combat sounds pretty nice if she can keep deadpool levels of regeneration, I'd just have to tweak how fast and slowly she gains it. Going with invulnerability or batman for the defensive side of things can get boring quickly.

I dunno if I wanna make them hero or villain, whatever gets me more character interaction. lol. I should also mention that most of the time they're more comedic relief than serious. Could have them be arrancars working with the soul society on some sort of experimental thing, I dunno.
