Huh, more people than I thought there were.

Anyways, still here, still interested, so yeah. XD Still probably going with a member of whatever squad Kenpachi's was, although not the captain. Maybe lieutenant but we'll see how things turn out.

Yup, still here, still interested. Still feel kido is sadly underused in the actual manga. :p

I am still in too, I going to be either captain or liutenant to 5 squad, maybe.

Definitely still in!

Doot doot

While I kind of hate the current manga arc I will keep an eye out for how this RP develops ^^

Still here.

I'm interested in this. Looks like fun.

I'm quite interested in this.

Question! A zanpakuto idea that I've had for a while involves mimicking other people's abilities, which is something I don't usually do, yet feel would be interesting to do in Bleach. Problem is, how it would actually work is kind of awkward. From what I've read, limiting things to Soul Reapers/Espada makes things a lot simpler, but I guess I just need to figure out if my character's mimickry would be limited to other zanpakuto, or sword-based abilities in general and stuff.

@Empath Happy for the interest

@ASplashOfMusic Likewise

@RolePlayerRoxas That certainly would be an interesting idea not at all what I had in mind for one of the Arrancar but I wasn't sure about using it myself. It would make your character similar to Ukitake in which he rarely uses his Shikai and definitely Bankai, which is fine, but I guess it would mean a more...reluctant kind of character? I think using an ability like that too many times would become tiresome as the fights would have the same kind of dynamics (What's your ability? my ability? I'm shocked. But it's my ability, I know it entirely. Sploosh) obviously the fights wont necessarily go that way but.

It's a neat idea and I won't stop you from going for it, but what I would say is that a Zanpakuto like that would need a character whom is adept at other things so as too not always mirror your enemies powers.

EDIT: Announcment! @LokiLeo789 is our Co-GM.

... I don't know that much about Bleach but I like the early stuff people have told me and do still have a (kind of silly)character idea.

So um, interest maybe?

So...

@Blackbeard I have a question in regards to the D&D bit you've mentioned. Does that mean there will be dice rolls, or do you just mean that NPCs will be played by the GMs (particularly enemies and random encounters)?

@VitaVitaAR We aren't really going for the silly side of things, if your not familiar with the Anime this might not be the best thing to join really.

@yoshua171 The latter.

I always thought Bleach was kind of inherently silly, honestly. ^^;

Also from what I know @VitaVitaAR meant "silly" in the same way as Yachiru, basically. XD

@Blackbeard Alright, I figured as much, but for the sake of clarity I thought I'd check. You've got my interest. Not sure I'd call it tentative, but I wouldn't quite call it unwavering either.

@Blackbeard Since I am currently stuck in an exam-assignment my mind is constantly buzzing with excitement for this roleplay instead of the actual exam (as it has to, naturally) - so I just wanted to know how long we are away from more details regarding the plot, possibly even an ooc? ^^

@Blackbeard Sorry to @mention you three times in the last few hours, but here I go again.

So I'm scrolling through the conversations and ideas presented in the previous thread (which is what revealed the existence of this thread to me) and I noticed the "predetermined," fight conclusion thing. So um, I know I am biased towards fights that aren't predetermined, but I have to ask the following:

How do you intend to determine who wins the fight?

This is one of the problems I've seen with predetermined failures or wins is that the fight starts playing out and it reaches a point wherein it becomes either very murky as to which individual ought to win, or one person ends up being an underdog and being able to win against a stronger opponent due to skillful positioning and exploiting someone's weaknesses.

How do you accurately decide what character can beat another character and then make it feel somewhat realistic (or rather believable) if one person appears to clearly have the advantage, but they are slated to lose?

Also gotta say that having fights be predetermined is something that bothers me as I enjoy the uncertainty of not knowing who comes out on top. While I do enjoy winning, it's really more about the tension created between the two RPers and thus their characters that not knowing who will win produces. I don't know, just some food for thought. Even if I opt out of joining, I figured it was a question worth asking. Also, apologies if you answered a similar question/concern in the previous thread and my asking this proves pointless (as I admit I'm not finished reading through that thread just yet--though I am doing so now).

So yeah. That haha ^^; *rubs the back of his neck awkwardly, unsure of how to end his post. Ends it awkwardly*
