Bleach: Reborn

[Blackbeard]

I N T R O D U C T I O N

<sub>₪ Hello and welcome to Bleach Reborn! This is an original RP set in the bleach universe. Whilst we shall be using the setting and certain aspects from the show however the plot and characters will not be involved. I've been wanting to join a Bleach RP for a while now but none surfaced, as such I decided to try and make my own with a bit more focus and direction. What I'm trying to achieve is a long lasting RP in which the players can enjoy all the best parts of Bleach, such as the spectacle fights and character progression and development. To do this I've placed some fairly stringent rules compared to other Bleach RP's in the past which shall be detailed later on, they are all intended to aid the longevity and experience of the RP for the players!
Now in terms of what I'm looking for its...well players! Bleach fans! Everyone will be taking part as a Shinigami from the thirteen court guard squads, the bad guys will be NPC's controlled by me and any Co-gms of the RP. This should function more like a D&D style game in which we can throw scenarios and NPC's at you. All of these decisions shall be explained later on in more detail but for the introduction I just wanted to give you the gist of what I'm shooting for.

So! If your a bleach fan and ready to get your Haori on and kick some hollow butt then welcome aboard!</sub>

₪ I'm in need of a Co-GM. As some of you may already know however the Co-gm here will be different than in most RP's, you won't be taking part as a Shinigami with the rest of the players you shall be helping me with the story progression, plot and will assist in using all the NPC's such as the Espada. So you get to do all the cool Bleach things like fighting, just a little less focused on your own personal character. Anyone whom wishes to be a Co-Gm will have to be able to handle multiple NPC's help design said NPC's and develop plot.

So this is the more developed Int.Check there has been one previously which I urge any new takers to check out - Int.Check 1.0

Here is a list of all the people whom have already shown some level of interest, if you are still interested then you can either post or simply like this OP or something so I know your still here.

@malmshodes
@FallenTrinity
@Kalas
@Rin
@Pink Madness
@Crimson Raven
@Vongola_Hasayo
@Yvain
@IceHeart
@Tarquin
@Raineh Daze
@LokiLeo789
@Marrow

I probably wont sit on this int.check for very long, 2-3 days at most I would imagine, and then I shall post the OOC. Finding 12 definite players and a Co-Gm or two is where I would really like to be before the OOC goes up.

[Rin]

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.

[Raineh Daze]

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

[Pink Madness]

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

[malmshodes]

Definitely still in!

[Crimson Raven]

Doot doot

[Empath]

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

[Tarquin]

Still here.

[Marrow]

"HAAAAAI"

[ASplashOfMusic]

I'm interested in this. Looks like fun.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

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.

[Blackbeard]

@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.

[VitaVitaAR]

... 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?

[Yvain]

So...

If responding, please respond in spoilers for others just in case ;u;.

[yoshua171]

@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)?

[Blackbeard]

@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.

[Rin]

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

[yoshua171]

@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.

[Empath]

@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? ^^

[yoshua171]

@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*
