[b]Q:[/b] Would people like to be able to create unique histories and their own lore (royal families, factions, races) at some point in the RP?
[b]A:[/b] I'll parrot what everyone else has said; families are fine, but new factions and races seem like they'll complicate the existing dynamic.

[b]Q:[/b] Would people like to have the chance to lead their own Arcs later in the RP?
[b]A:[/b] Nah. I just can't see it working out well. Chances are they would just end up centering around the person's own characters.

[b]Q:[/b] As Bleach is a verse centered around conflict between factions and inviduals, it stands to reason that an RP based on it will also be as such. The question is, what races do people prefer to be playable? Shinigami, Arrancar, Quincy, Spiritually Aware Humans, etc etc.
[b]A:[/b] Shinigami. Just Shinigami, at least for now.

[b]Q:[/b] Would people prefer the story's villain faction to be playable, or ought they be controlled by the GMs entirely--or is a middle ground best?
[b]A:[/b] Just the GM. Again, I suspect player villains will just try to steal the show from everyone else.

[b]Q:[/b] Should there be a limit to how many characters a player can make?
[b]A:[/b] I agree with Raineh Daze; any positions of power should be one per customer.
