Soul Society

7th March 1867 A.D

The Seiretei is Currently Under Attack

The smoke was thick, weighing down on all who dared linger within its toxic haze. It seemed never ending; it blotted out the sun, and accompanied the burning inferno that engulfed all in sight, forcing the wooden frames to crackle and splinter the flames. All around, once strong buildings gave a groan before crashing into rubble; spilling out onto the streets, or collapsing in on themselves, and causing sparks to fly upwards, catching the wind and creating new fires throughout the Seiretei, painting the sky behind the smoke orange.

A sharp clang of metal against metal rang out above the roar of the blaze, bloodshed and fighting war came hand in hand with such destruction, and while the sound of battle rang out, screams of Shinigami followed, Zanpakuto tore through flesh and bone, causing blood to paint the nearby ground and walls. For a moment, if one closed their eyes, that was all they heard; there was no peace to be found in such a place, and shutting it out for a moment of silence was impossible. However, if one made the mistake of shutting their eyes long enough, they’d surely find silence in the sweet embrace of death, for the enemy were everywhere. Friends fought friends, family stabbed one another in the back, comrades turned on comrades, all for what they thought was right.

But what good could come from such bloodshed.

How had such a grim scene come to be?

How could Shinigami turn on their own? Divisions fighting within themselves, Captain against Captain… and for what? For what reason was blood shed so needlessly.

It was for a single man his mission.

His mission to become the new King.




Division 1 Barracks



Atop the 1st Divisions barracks, through the thick smoke, the silhouette of a man stood, only lit up by the rising flames behind him, his face occasionally being lit as the flames licked around his form. The Head Captain himself, a small grin upon his features. For years he’d been silently working away at his plan, recruiting loyal followers to his side in the shadows through manipulation and lies - promises to fulfill their greed, simply so he could turn them on one another. His recruits blindly followed him, even to their deaths, which was exactly they would all meet. Through chess board planning, the Head Captain had assembled a strong enough force to combat itself. He knew exactly who would side with him and who would not, it had taken many years, mysterious deaths, promotions, demotions, nurturing… it had taken his all - and as he watched over the scene before him, he knew it had been worth it.

He'd needed only target five other Captains, for their Squads would blindly follow, regardless of their own beliefs... and if they didn't they'd be cut down. Fear was the tool that had made most comply; if they were to disobey their Captains, they'd be killed and if they tried to join the resistance, they'd be deemed a liar and be cut down. Fear was truly a funny thing - it could make a person act in ways they never would rationally, it could make them do awful things to their fellow Shinigami. A world living in fear was not a part of the Head Captains ideal vision he had for the world, however; he wanted there to be only peace. No more needless bloodshed, after thousands of years of death and war. But he knew that to pave the road to peace, there needed to be blood; a final war.

Alone he could not do this. Had he started this alone he'd be helpless to resist the strength of twelve other Captains, backed by their Lieutenants and then their entire divisions. He'd have died in no time; but pitting them against one another however, well, the grisly scene before him spoke for itself. Not one sacrifice. however, was in vain, to him. He truly believed he was creating a better world… a better future. But as we all know, there can be no gain without first, sacrifice.






Overview




Welcome to Bleach: Souls Unguided, a RP with extended Bleach lore. We will be beginning our story in a prologue of sorts - giving you a chance to iron out your backstory while being a part of the actual plot and events that took place. We plan to get through this pre-arc rather quickly, so we can then focus on the main overarching plot as well as any smaller arcs that may take place in the downtime.

Currently, for the current prologue, you are all lower seated to unseated members of the Gotei 13, fending off an assault led by the Head Captain and a few other Captains in who he has enlisted as followers. The basic premise of the main story for your characters is that you will be the new Gotei 13 around 100 years after the attack. At this particular time, all of your characters Captains are etither dying or have betrayed the Seireitei, and are soon to die.

In the quick events that shouldn't take more than a few posts, your character will either fight their way out, or make their escape. Over the next day or two, in the IC, we will explain what happened to the Head Captain and those who laid their lives down for him, and we will explain more about what he was after and the consequences it all had on your characters and where they will be in the main story.

A new day will dawn on the Soul Society, and the Seireitei will be rebuilt - along with it, a new Gotei 13.

Legislation of the 4th Wall - The Law




~If you wish to write harmoniously in the RP and stay within the GMs favor, please take note of the below requirments.~





This roleplay is of rather mature content – and thus, immaturity will not be tolerated.

WE'll not restrict you from vulgar language; however, understand that there is a very fine line between a character's discourse and outright obnoxiousness.

For the love of my gorgeous, snuggly, floofy kitteh: advise in regards to your absence – lack of post is not appreciated. Value the fact that there are others within the roleplay.

Should you be absent with no reason, within the Out Of Character, you will be informed of a zero hour – counting down to the time of your character's death at the hands of the Division 7 Captain, Kaizo Tataki.

Combat will be handled on a case-by-case basis, with the GMs proctoring in case issues or disagreements arise. Should you want to script your fight, let the GMs, and your partner(s) know. Make sure all parties are in agreement. A 'scripted fight,' is one wherein the victor is decided before hand.

God-Modding your character will result in rejection – unadorned. Do not endeavour to God-Mod in a roundabout way, it will be caught onto.

If a problem arises for a player in regards to the GM and they feel uncomfortable bringing it up. Go to the other GM for advice. Don't worry, we hate one another more than you probably ever could, so we're always looking for reasons to burn one anothers lives to the ground. We're perfectly reasonable people and nine times out of ten we'll work with you in order to bring said GM down.

The GM's decisions are final. If your character is rejected, please keep in mind that all three GMs will have agreed on this decision and they will give you a fair explanation as to why. Please don’t take it personally. Our motives are valid and you will be enlightened if you do not see reason. Leniency is elevated – don’t fret.

Forcing others to read your smut, is in fact sexual harassment. Thus is not tolerated. Respect your fellow writers and fade to black... or face death at the hands of the Division 7 Captain Kaizo, Tataki.

If you have read all the rules please write 'We have fun here.' in italics at the end of your character sheet. Failure to do so will result in your character being silently accepted, and killed within the first conflict at the hands of the Division 7 Captain, Kaizo Tataki..

Single lines of dialect are forbidden – if you struggle to write a minimum of two paragraphs, abandon the post – either seek assistance or apply time. (If struggle is still weighing upon your shoulders, perhaps Free Roleplay is the area for you).

Albeit, the language of an English teacher is not expected in your writing, nevertheless basic syntax is insisted upon, language rules and sentence structure; disapproval for one, should they bring Free grammar into this caliber Roleplay.

Adding onto the last point, we would like it to be known that we all know the horrors of "writers block". Should you lack inspiration or enough material to post, tell someone. Communicate. Talk to your GMs. Worst case scenario, we'll just move your character aside till you can post again.

Inventiveness and originality assists with not only character development but also story development – creativity is highly merited here. The Grand Master’s aren’t restricting – and your boundaries are quite minimal.

Grand Master’s are flexible and always open for newfangled thoughts and ideas in regards to characters, plots and new arcs.

Tribulations can arise, but that doesn’t grant you permission to abuse the Out Of Character and create a battleground of arguments. If you have a dilemma or difficulty with another roleplayer, either take it elsewhere or if one wishes inform a Grand Master, then they’ll willingly advocate. Hitches are generally, effortlessly fixed.

Only accepted characters go in the character tab.

Post your Character Sheet in the OOC for review.

Standard Guild rules apply.

Be chill.

RP Lore - Stats




~The Four Areas of Mastery.~


【Kido】



【Zanjutsu】



【Hakuda】



【Hohō】






~Head Captain~

It is expected that the Head Captain be a master in all areas.

~Captains~

Some Captains if served long enough can master up to three of these areas (must be approved by GM).
New Captains will start with only two Masteries.

~Lieutenants~

Lieutenants start with one mastery.

~Seated Members~

No master level in any area.




~The Four Levels of Mastery.~


【Practitioner】



【Proficient】



【Expert】



【Master】






~Useful Information From the GMs.~


It should go without saying that if your character were a Lieutenant and had mastered Kido to a Master level and used Hado 90, their Hado, whilst able to be used, would not have the power of a Captains Hado 90. Masteries determine what your character has learned in an area, their rank determines their power.

In this next part we talk about the birds and the bee's and how that actually even works cause ones a bird and ones a bee and it's kinda weird. Anyway!

In this part we go over the Skill Area limitations. Our first example will be a Lieutenant.

Captains can get to expert level in their other area's and it's to be expected, they are after all Captains.

Whilst a Lieutenant can master a single area entirely, they cannot become expert in every other area. They can become expert level in two other area's with the last capping out at "proficient" level at best. This is to ensure some form of balance and so no Lieutenants become too strong.

3rd & 4th seats can become Expert level in two area's and at best proficient in the other two area's.


When all is said and done, it's not always a battle of who has the most power but more how you fight. If your charactert is better at implementing their skills than their opponent who may be stronger, as in...your character is a better tactician, then sheer power alone will not bail the opponent out. One could give someone everything they could ever know and yet if they're not able to use them tactfully and simply throw out their "strong skill", they will likely lose to the person who uses their knowledge and brain. They may have less skills; however they would have better tactics.

And now we come to forbidden skill. These are skills that, whilst can be learned, are forbidden from EVER being used and using said skills will result in punishment. If a character used Hado 96 without good reason and pointlessly endangered people's lives, they'd be trialled and their fate decided there.

People will, in the future, be able to make their own custom skills, however at least for the start, it's best to stick to the skills provided to us by the original bleach universe

And please, for the love of my gorgeous, snuggly, floofy kitteh, adhere to these guidelines because I spent far too freaking long writing them.

@Kagari@HeMandaddy Alright as you guys can see my cs is still very much uncompleted but I need some help here. My character originally had the rarer two zanpakuto like a few other characters in the series however the cs is very much geared towards one so I don't know how to go along with that. He isn't in an ichigo situation more so my cs has him have two very different sides to him. The plan was to combine both personality during bankai the heroic, and darker sides to form one coherent whole. Merging the two spirits into one I'd call the something else. More so my personality section already answers the likes, and dislikes section making it a bit redundant. Likewise the friends/rivals section isn't really applicable as of yet as he has no real connections to any one character in, or out of his backstory. He's been very self reliant so far.

I also have issues with how old exactly you want our characters to be its hard to gauge in bleach. Along with stuff like former division which I'm not sure what to put down for.

So is that the character has a form of split personality or is it that his subconscious is more aggressive/ powerful than others?

He has two very different parts of himself one that wants to help other people to the best he can. The 'play fair' side of him that embodies that of your average shonen good guy. But he is also very much a competitor so to speak. He hates losing even if that conflicts with the first part of him. He's constantly split between playing to win, and playing the hero.

You can just change the CS and Adapt it to what you need it to be like so it works for you. If we see any issues from there, then we have a basis to go off and can work from there

Awwww maaaaannnn >_<
I did the freaking same to mine

But what did you do to the General Aptitude? lolol

The best thing I can think of is open up a notepad on your PC or something and just copy and paste the responses into the CS

I'm going to be honest the CS feels like a mess. Trying to fill in everything with all these tags is a pain. I just tried to redo it on preview and it broke multiple times.

Is this still accepting? It seems to be but I want to make sure. I'd also like to confirm if this is an AU or supposed to follow Bleach canon? For example are any of the canon characters who would be old enough to have existed in this going to exist or will they not be there?
Similarly is there anything major we need to know that's different than the canon due to the different events?
Thank you for your time.

And while we're using bleach lore, it's an AU with our own characters in the Bleach Universe :)
