Bleach: The Lament of Power IC
Bleach: The Lament of Power OOC
The history of this RP is based on both its iteration on the old guild, and on Lament of Power.
The darkness. A man embodying this simple phrase caused fear across all the Seireiti, and once already engulfed it. Tenebrae, proclaimed God of the Rukongai, a man who held power so fiercely, the earth itself trembled as he walked, the strong man in existance.
50 years ago, his might clashed with the Seireiti's, Balancers of the Worlds of the Living, and of Souls. With but a few generals comprising what he called the 'Army of Heaven', he enveloped the Seireiti, killing the light. Captain after Captain fell, the confusion so great, friend and foe was to be confused. The lieutenants fell in a likewise manner.
As devastation was left in his wake, he left, as abruptly as he had come. Two survivors of the massacre of the captains and their lieutenants were left. Captain Aaron Flamberge, who would go to rebuild the Seireiti, and Shin'ya Nox, lieutenant who would join Tenebrae.
For decades, the man known as Tenebrae would lay quiet in the Rukongai, waiting with the patience of a God. He waited for the Seireiti to rebuild itself, for their might to be worthy of clashing with his again. A new generation of shinigami did indeed rise up, stronger than the last. Though few in number, their strength caught the eye of the God of Darkness.
He slowly started to waken, to test the strength of the Seireiti..... for that was all that he was. Darkness, God, titles born from his thirst for power. Upon achieving his unearthly powers, there was a lament from him..... a lament of power. No one could rival this man known as Tenebrae. Even his God Generals he had gathered were no match for him. He saw himself as a great balancer. The strong survive. If any one was to have a hope of their dream surviving, their world continuing, their ideology to have the breathe of life, they would have to rise up, and vanquish him. His very existence strengthened the world by threatening it's destruction.
The destruction of the shinigami had far reaching effects. Many of the weak Shinigami survived the Tenebrae incident without a scratch, but without their leaders, and so much damage, they were not the same. Patrols of the human world dwindled, and the number of hollows skyrocketed.
Competition fierce among hollows, they became even stronger. A rising number of Arrancars meant the Espada were disrupted as their seats were claimed by newer blood.
Humans forced to fight hollows increased, meaning full bringers of the human world became even stronger..... they had to be. For them, this fight wasn't anything bigger than protecting those near to them. Their very world depended on them being strong.
With a destruction of their world, many shinigami found the opportunity to become rogue, and live in the human world.
The shinigami themselves, under the command of the sole surviving captain, Captain Flamberge, focused on raising the shinigami it had to drastic levels, they needed captains, even if it had to ask for exiled captains to return.
Captain Flamberge found a successor as he focused on training. In the Rukongai, a mere child with such fantastic powers as to be near captain level upon becoming a shinigami, the problem was he could not control his powers. With training, he made the next Captain Commander, even with his control problems. A kind man, a man of unparallel conviction, Naratsu Seionyou.
He would lead the shinigami after Aaron retired to the seat of simple captain of the 13th division, becoming the old mentor to the younger shinigami, taking over teaching so Naratsu could shine. Infact, Aaron decided he had taught all that he could and be of use, and disappeared, to help from the shadows.
Tenebrae slowly started to awaken from the Rukongai at such power. The rising generation, they were becoming stronger it seemed....
For the first time in 50 years, Tenebrae clashed with the Seireiti, in small ways. His generals had their way, fighting the Seirieti when they found the opportunity, but to Tenebrae's delight, they were repelled.
Tenebrae wanted to see himself just how strong they were. When an unrelated incident many members of the the Seireiti to hell to rescue one of their own, a captain, Tenebrae himself appeared with one of his general, taking on the new captain commander. He was delighted to find someone near his level of power, it was infact shocking to see that he could be pushed back. His investigations complete, he returned to the Rukongai for a bit, to allow the Seireiti time to recover.
There was one thing lacking from Naratsu's eyes though when he had fought Tenebrae, that was hate.
Encountering a captain on his own, who attacked him, Tenebrae found a way to fill that void of hate, a reason to fight that Naratsu so lacked. The captain bragging of his power, was completely enveloped by the darkness, a necklace all that remained, one Tenebrae personally presented to Naratsu as he calmly declared war on the Seireiti.

Tenebrae Incident: Aaron's Nightmare
Since the beginning of the RP the following has occurred:
In Tears of Heaven one of Tenebrae's generals, Shin'ya, assaulted the seireitei on the day of a festival, when everyone finally thought peace had returned. The captains, lieutenants, and rookies alike faced against him, but all fell short their lives saved only by the new Captain Commander.
Naratsu Seionyou, the student to Aaron Flamberge had become the commander and while he did not defeat Shin'ya the general fleed soon after their fight began. This event caused great turmoil in the seireitei and so the captain commander began to organize the divisions for an assault.
However, before this was able to come to fruition a strange threat from the human world occurred on a mission involving several rookies gone to take care of a rise in hollow population. The gates of hell had opened and so captains were called to quell the infestation of gatekeepers that swarmed from it. One of the rookies was pulled into the gates and so a rescue mission had to be organized.
The Captain Commander himself stood at the forefront of this mission, opening the gates with his powerful zanpakuto and his sheer force of will alone, the shinigami entered. The shinigami were fortunate enough to find their comrade and extricate them, but not without Heaven's generals entering hell themselves and assaulting them during.
Shin'ya and Tenebrae himself showed themselves and while Shin'ya fought off two captains, a lieutenant, and all six or so rookie shinigami with nearly flawless skills, Tenebrae and Naratsu faced off once again.
The rookies, along with the captain of the second division, managed to dismember Shin'ya, removing his arm completely. They then retreated, the gate opened by Naratsu still pervailing, and waited with bated breath for their commander to return as well.
While they waited the two powerhouses clashed, causing much destruction as their massive spiritual pressure pervaded the area, erasing any possibility of intrusion. Then the commander managed what most had thought unthinkable, he landed a blow on God.
Tenebrae received a wound and at this the God of the rukongai was pleased and departed, leaving Naratsu tired, but alive.
- - - - -
Since the battle, in which a single rookie lost his life, a general took a single wound, and another lost his arm, the shinigami rested. However, the quincy who had allied with them remained in bed, her abilities nearly sapped from her very being by the dreaded Shin'ya out of pure rage and hatred. Whiles others regained their strength, and some healed, Naratsu tried to regain his head after the heated battle. All in vain, for Tenebrae paid him a visit in the comfort of his home.
To add injury to his insult, the man then proclaimed one of the gotei thirteen's few captains...dead, by his hand no less.
The shinigami then departed and the following day, Naratsu sent the budding shinigami on a reconnaisance mission to discover the generals' base of operation. They succeeded, but only due to the noble sacrifice of one of their own, the same girl who had fallen to hell, now pulled Lariel, one of Tenebrae's generals, down with her.
The rookies now return to the seireitei, report, and make ready for the battle to come.
They wait for Heaven to come so they may slay them and rain down tears of blood on the world. Tears to drown the earth...the first drops of a new storm.

~Minor System Details~
*** There are 4 'factions' that one can be in.
The Gotei Forces, based in the Seireiti
The Espada, based in Las Noches of Hueco Mundo
The Human group, based in Karakura town
The villians, The Army of Heaven, based in the Rukongai
****In the Gotei forces, if a division doesn't have a captain, we're not going to put anyone in it. Similiarly for the Espada. If your a faccion, you serve an Espada.
***** Also for the Gotei Forces, multiple people in a squad can share a rank
*** We're going to assume the Espada naturally happened, the Espada formed of natural Arrancar, and built Las Noches themselves. And the Cero Espada is the Lord of Hueco Mundo.
*** Hyogoku doesn't exist. No one made it, nor will they. Arrancarization can happen naturally(Stark, Lillynette, Sora, ect), so we're going to assume it has. Same for the vizards, though it seems most of them were mad scientists based on the last RP.
*** Quincy aren't exactly common, but neither are they wiped out. Feel free to make them
**** No sternritter. Sorry, while badass, we still don't quite no enough about them. We're definitely stealing their letter system though, and what we know they can bring to the quincies, such as Blut
**** We're also not going into the Zero Squad, Royal Realm, or Spirit King. Same as above, don't know enough.
**** With hollows more rampant in Karakura town, expect many outbreaks. This also means more full bringers and lots of spiritually aware people.
**** Army of Heaven has 5 people, and will always have 5 people. What is the Army of Heaven? It's 4 individuals under Tenebrae's command who follow him for one reason, and one reason only. They all love power. Interestingly, they are affably evil. Sure, they'll destroy your village, but no need to be a jackass about it. Needless to say, they are all extremely strong.
**** All the shinigami should be young. There are a few exceptions, but if there are, it's because the profiles were good, and I mean damn good. Remember the very important plot point that all captains and lieutenants were killed off 50 years ago.
**** Seireiti's standing with other races will be a bit odd. The current commander is open to them, but has had other things on his plate, so hasn't worked well with the other races. He's been around 30 years. The one before him, similiar story, 20 years. The one before that was not open, hated other races for their disturbance to the balance of souls, and their lack of obedience. So this means for the most part, other races dislike the shinigami, but the shinigami don't really hate the other races, save hollows.
More or less, you want to be friendly with them, do so, you want to hate them, you have good reason to.

_______________________________________
Tenebrae Incident: Aaron's Nightmare
A calm day of the Seireiti, with little going on, Captain Flamberge sat outside his squad barracks, staring at the sky as his lieutenant approached. A scowl was on Aaron's face as he looked at the clouds in the distance. Reguarded as many as the strongest captain, 2nd only to the commander, many people had high expectations of him, a genius of sorts. His lieutenant looked curiously at him.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
"You can drop the sir. Just something doesn't feel right. I'm not one for crap like fortune telling, but those clouds seem menacing."
"You know, never seen you get nervous."
"Shut the hell up, and tell the squad to be ready for anything today."
Aaron got up from his sitting position, and grabbed his blade almost instinctively. It was true, he was hardly one for getting nervous, but why did he seem so.... afraid? The day was normal, hollows were kept at bay, the Seireiti was enjoying relative peace. It should just be a normal boring day.
The dark clouds though came rolling in, covering the Seireiti in blackness. It seemed like a terrible storm, but no rain came.... infact, no winds blew at all. As Aaron looked around in it, he realized it was no storm at all. It seemed like a thick mist encompassing the area, it pulsed with reitsu, which was barely noticeable. It wasn't this way because the reitsu was weak, on the contrary, it was hard to feel because it was so strong, on a whole new level. The center of it reached the wall of the Seireiti, and a massive cracking was heard for miles as it shattered the Seki-sekki shield.
Aaron fully drew his sword, and called to his lieutenant.
"Fujimaru, come on. Leave the rest of the squad to guard the Seireiti. Seems we have an unwanted guest."
Aaron fled towards the source of the unnerving mist, towards Sokyoku hill. As he neared, he found his colleagues come, with their lieutenants. Everyone was of a similar mind, reading the reitsu. It was best to keep the weaker soul reapers out of it. The strong were a shield for the weak. With little happening, the Captains had little reason not to come.
Aaron looked to see even the commander, legendary man nicknamed Titan. A man of bulging muscles, who demanded order, and recieved it, looking sternly on to see what it was causing such a commotion in his Seireiti.
To answer all their questions, a man walked out of the mist before the captains, with no showing of fear, or even hesitation before such powerful men. He walked in an exaggerated way, as if he was in a play, and enjoying it all so much. Shining Black hair fell down his back, an elegant face, and a lean figure walked, and a smile of absolute arrogance on his face. His voice sounded, heard by all by virtue of Bakudo #77, Tenteikūra. His fingers though fidgetted, as if he was doing more than he seemed.
"Welcome to my performance!"
Aaron's first thought was that this man walked like a fairy and probably was not the manliest person out there, but he had enough experience to know not to judge a book by it's cover. The sheer arrogance however, was more than slightly annoying. If he didn't know better, he would wipe the smile off of his face here and now..... but this man was facing the entire Gotei 13, and didn't back down in the least. There was something unnerving about this.
One of the lieutenents heckled him.
"What the hell do you want!? The Gotei 13 are assembled here, what is it you think you can do about it."
The strange figure didn't looked pleased, and eyed the lieutenant, his reitsu skyrocketing.
"How rude. Perhaps if you let'd let me finish, you'd find out. Not very hospitable, now are you?"
It was was easy to see who was responsible for the mist. A heavy ocean seemed to fall around them, paralyzing many of the lieutenants. Even Aaron had to admit it felt heavy.
"We should not have brought the lieutenants. Seems this type of person can only be dealt with by us captains. Suppose I'm going to have to earn my paycheck today. Let's be more polite before we kick your ass. Who are you, Ryoka?"
The man's smile increased to a nasty sneer.
"I come today as a deity. I am Tenebrae Metus, God of the Rukongai, the darkness.... and I've come to swallow you all if your not strong enough."
A captain finally lost his composure, the number 6 on his back.
"Enough of this, Ryoka! Strike fast and hard, Raiden!"
His sword changed shape into a lightning bolt, and in an instant, he rushed forward at blinding speed at the Ryoka. As he moved, he suddenly seemed to run into an invisible wall, and was bounced back, smashed backwards by his own speed.
Tenebrae shook his head, and in one hand, kido formed into a javelin of brilliant light.
"You are not strong. I have come to test my strength against the Seireiti's strongest, and only the strong. Hado, Ame-no-nuboko"
In an instant, he hurled the javelin forward, a shattering sound went around, and what seemed to be shards of glass flew from the 'wall' from earlier as the Javelin flew to it's target, impaling the downed captain in one swift efficient movement, landing on his chest. The hit captain looked confused at what had happened, and the spear lodged between his ribs.
"What are you?"
"God."
A high pitched sound reverberated. Aaron gritted his teeth, figuring out the source of the sound. Everyone who had not yet done so released their swords, except the commander whose teeth seemed to slam together in anger. One of the captains ran towards him, screaming his name, a woman bearing the number 7 on her back.
"Sekizen!"
Aaron closed his eyes for a minute as he formed his own kido barrier, cutting off the captain from reaching him. The captain jumped over it anyways, trying to get to the other one. Aaron's eyes widened at her stupidity. The javelin's squeal reached it's peek, and a massive explosion rocked the area, cracking the kido barrier Aaron had set up, and it collapsed.
He realized what Tenebrae had done. When he was talking, he had set up the barrier. Aaron's eyes looked around, seeing faint glimmers from the glass like barrier..... they were all around. Even where it had shattered had managed to rebuild itself. He then looked back to the crater that used to be the two captain.
"Sekizen Jaihomura.... Sakura Oda.... I'll pay him back for you two."
Before Aaron could act on those words, the roar of the Captain Commander was heard.
"DAMN YOU RYOKA! You think you can kill my captains in my Seireiti without facing my wrath!?"
Aaron looked up at the Commander, his sheer might was legendary, rushing forward. As he neared the barrier, he smashed through it with his bare hand and barreled towards Tenebrae.
"Taste this, 'god'! Shake the world, Atorasu!"
His sword changed, the last to release, the Captain Commander's itself. the form it took was that of a massive warhammer. As it was released, the earth it self around them rumbled, boulders moving from the earth to float into the sky. Tenebrae looked bored.
"Wolfe, Lariel, Warai-shi, Darius. Whoever wants him, he's all yours."
Aaron realized for the first time that Tenebrae was not alone. Because of his overwhelmign reitsu, he had smothered anyone else's.
Jumping out to meet the Commander, and Arrancar gleefully jumped at him, with three figures marching forward, all having the faces of someone eager to fight.
"Been so long since I've had a good figh-'
The man known as Titan had not time for them, with a swing of his hammer, he sent the Arrancar flying upwards, showing why he held his title. The arrancar flew upwards of a mile from the single hit. The fact he was in one piece was a testiment that the Arrancar wasn't normal. Hardly anything could take a blow from Titan and live to tell about.
Aaron shook his head
"Can't let him have all the fun."
Aaron rushed at the barrier, slashing at it. His slashes managed to crack it, but none seemed to have the power to break it. What did that mean? Had that man so casually opened a barrier that was taking Aaron, a kido expert himself, a hard time to break.
Other captains rushed forward, the first one to break through was Captain Tatasuko, his shikai having powers of void.
Titan continued his charge forward at Tenebrae, when two more of Tenebrae's subordinates came forward. One armed with a bow, obviously a quincy, and the other only had a set of what seemed like claws, not a clue as to what he was. He had the attributes of a wolf, his rough appearance, claws, and prominent canine teeth.
Titan swung at the two to smash them to pieces. The Quincy jumped away with the other rolling beneath it. As the hammer hit the earth, a small earthquake resounded.
The wolf managed to continue his roll through the earthquake, and slash with his claws at the commander. Titan jumped back avoiding the claws completely. The quincy fired a shot from above, easily blocked by the retreating commander.
Titan landed back, and prepared to unleash the full power of his shikai when he suddenly found he was having a hard time moving. He gazed at the wolf to see it licking blood off it's claws.
"What!?"
Titan looked down to see a slash deep into his chest. What had happened? He had dodged. The wolf spoke.
"You shouldn't judge a wolf's claws by it's length."
Titan collapsed before picking up his hammer again.
"Bastards. Don't think this is enough to do me in."
Aaron at seeing the commander take a hit like that burst forward his shikai's power to break the the barrier.
"Seika, Teikyo (Sacred Fire, Offering)"
He slashed forward, a line for fire erupting forth from his blade Hi no Tamashi, burning straight through the barrier, and heading at Tenebrae himself. The very earth beneath it vaporized. Tenebrae held up his weapon, a double bladed katana against it nonchalant, his reitsu condensing like a shield around him. The flames struck, and burned around him. A few embers managed to lick Tenebrae's face, burning it fiercely in a few small areas. The fierce fire was gone in an instant. Tenebrae looked genuinely surprised, touching his burns with his hands as if he couldn't believe someone had hurt him.
"My, my..... someone actually hurt me. Someone managed to touch a god! It seems you aren't so helpless after all!"
Aaron ran through the barrier, sword raised against the man, clashing against him. Tenebrae's swordsmanship was an equal match, a strange, twisted smile was on the man's face though as though he was happy to duel someone.
As they clashed, a body crashed next to them, causing them both to jump back. The arrancar from earlier landed in a bloody mess on the floor. It managed to push itself up, full of wounds. The woulds started healing on their own, but not completely.
It moved towards the other captains in the barrier, along with the last man of Tenebrae's 'army', a rugged looking man carrying a sword and a violent look on his face.
Aaron ignored them, the captains would do fine. Tenebrae however was the big threat. Again they clashed, Aaron found Tenebrae's slashes to be much more fierce as he clashed. As Aaron blocked a fierce side slash, he found the sword glowing with a dark aura.
"Judgement."
A beam of black rietsu shot out. Aaron's zanpaktu diverted most of the blast, but his left arm holding his blade touched the sides of of it as shot forward. As it exploded in the distance, with screams noting it was aimed at more than just Aaron. Aaron himself let out a yell as it ripped off his captain's Haori, 13, and part of his black kimono underneath. As for his arm itself, black wounds, what looked like burns, covered it. It wasn't fire or heat that had given him that mark, it was the sheer concentration of rietsu, so condensed it burned to the touch. Aaron dropped his sword.
Tenebrae looked disappointed down at the captain.
"Too weak."
He slashed again at Aaron. Aaron kicked his sword up, grabbing it with his right arm to block just at the last moment, preventing it from killing him. The blow sent him hurdling back.
"Don't think I'm so weak."
Aaron heard a thud behind, and the wolf speak.
"One down."
Aaron's eyes widened, and he screamed and rushed Tenebrae gripping his sword, and leaped at him.
Tenebrae shot his sword straight up.
pB]"Rapture"[/B]
A thin burst much like before shot up, though not as concentrated. Aaron pointed at his chest.
"Sho!"
He shot himself with kido to fly backwards out of the way of the blast, landing, and shooting again at Tenebrae, swinging his sword up.
"Seika-Teikyo!"
As he swung, a bright flame released itself from his sword at Tenebrae. Tenebrae simply pointed down with his sword. The beam from earlier split into several parts, falling from the air, one crashing into the earth beneath Tenebrae, dispersing the flaming. Aaron looked up to see several parts of it crashing down at him. He moved his weapon to block, and that was the last thing he remembered.
Blackness.
For hours, blackness. Nothing.
Aaron floated in a state of darkness, slowly, shades of light started mingling as he struggled to open his eyes. He heard voices.
"We got a survivor!"
"Really, what's his condition!?"
"Terrible, start the healing, now!"
"I thought we pegged him as dead!"
Several days later, Aaron awoke in squad 4. The sole survivor in the Seireiti, by sheer dumb luck.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
"You can drop the sir. Just something doesn't feel right. I'm not one for crap like fortune telling, but those clouds seem menacing."
"You know, never seen you get nervous."
"Shut the hell up, and tell the squad to be ready for anything today."
Aaron got up from his sitting position, and grabbed his blade almost instinctively. It was true, he was hardly one for getting nervous, but why did he seem so.... afraid? The day was normal, hollows were kept at bay, the Seireiti was enjoying relative peace. It should just be a normal boring day.
The dark clouds though came rolling in, covering the Seireiti in blackness. It seemed like a terrible storm, but no rain came.... infact, no winds blew at all. As Aaron looked around in it, he realized it was no storm at all. It seemed like a thick mist encompassing the area, it pulsed with reitsu, which was barely noticeable. It wasn't this way because the reitsu was weak, on the contrary, it was hard to feel because it was so strong, on a whole new level. The center of it reached the wall of the Seireiti, and a massive cracking was heard for miles as it shattered the Seki-sekki shield.
Aaron fully drew his sword, and called to his lieutenant.
"Fujimaru, come on. Leave the rest of the squad to guard the Seireiti. Seems we have an unwanted guest."
Aaron fled towards the source of the unnerving mist, towards Sokyoku hill. As he neared, he found his colleagues come, with their lieutenants. Everyone was of a similar mind, reading the reitsu. It was best to keep the weaker soul reapers out of it. The strong were a shield for the weak. With little happening, the Captains had little reason not to come.
Aaron looked to see even the commander, legendary man nicknamed Titan. A man of bulging muscles, who demanded order, and recieved it, looking sternly on to see what it was causing such a commotion in his Seireiti.
To answer all their questions, a man walked out of the mist before the captains, with no showing of fear, or even hesitation before such powerful men. He walked in an exaggerated way, as if he was in a play, and enjoying it all so much. Shining Black hair fell down his back, an elegant face, and a lean figure walked, and a smile of absolute arrogance on his face. His voice sounded, heard by all by virtue of Bakudo #77, Tenteikūra. His fingers though fidgetted, as if he was doing more than he seemed.
"Welcome to my performance!"
Aaron's first thought was that this man walked like a fairy and probably was not the manliest person out there, but he had enough experience to know not to judge a book by it's cover. The sheer arrogance however, was more than slightly annoying. If he didn't know better, he would wipe the smile off of his face here and now..... but this man was facing the entire Gotei 13, and didn't back down in the least. There was something unnerving about this.
One of the lieutenents heckled him.
"What the hell do you want!? The Gotei 13 are assembled here, what is it you think you can do about it."
The strange figure didn't looked pleased, and eyed the lieutenant, his reitsu skyrocketing.
"How rude. Perhaps if you let'd let me finish, you'd find out. Not very hospitable, now are you?"
It was was easy to see who was responsible for the mist. A heavy ocean seemed to fall around them, paralyzing many of the lieutenants. Even Aaron had to admit it felt heavy.
"We should not have brought the lieutenants. Seems this type of person can only be dealt with by us captains. Suppose I'm going to have to earn my paycheck today. Let's be more polite before we kick your ass. Who are you, Ryoka?"
The man's smile increased to a nasty sneer.
"I come today as a deity. I am Tenebrae Metus, God of the Rukongai, the darkness.... and I've come to swallow you all if your not strong enough."
A captain finally lost his composure, the number 6 on his back.
"Enough of this, Ryoka! Strike fast and hard, Raiden!"
His sword changed shape into a lightning bolt, and in an instant, he rushed forward at blinding speed at the Ryoka. As he moved, he suddenly seemed to run into an invisible wall, and was bounced back, smashed backwards by his own speed.
Tenebrae shook his head, and in one hand, kido formed into a javelin of brilliant light.
"You are not strong. I have come to test my strength against the Seireiti's strongest, and only the strong. Hado, Ame-no-nuboko"
In an instant, he hurled the javelin forward, a shattering sound went around, and what seemed to be shards of glass flew from the 'wall' from earlier as the Javelin flew to it's target, impaling the downed captain in one swift efficient movement, landing on his chest. The hit captain looked confused at what had happened, and the spear lodged between his ribs.
"What are you?"
"God."
A high pitched sound reverberated. Aaron gritted his teeth, figuring out the source of the sound. Everyone who had not yet done so released their swords, except the commander whose teeth seemed to slam together in anger. One of the captains ran towards him, screaming his name, a woman bearing the number 7 on her back.
"Sekizen!"
Aaron closed his eyes for a minute as he formed his own kido barrier, cutting off the captain from reaching him. The captain jumped over it anyways, trying to get to the other one. Aaron's eyes widened at her stupidity. The javelin's squeal reached it's peek, and a massive explosion rocked the area, cracking the kido barrier Aaron had set up, and it collapsed.

"Seika-Teikyo!"
As he swung, a bright flame released itself from his sword at Tenebrae. Tenebrae simply pointed down with his sword.

"We got a survivor!"
"Really, what's his condition!?"
"Terrible, start the healing, now!"
"I thought we pegged him as dead!"
Several days later, Aaron awoke in squad 4. The sole survivor in the Seireiti, by sheer dumb luck.
Since the beginning of the RP the following has occurred:
In Tears of Heaven one of Tenebrae's generals, Shin'ya, assaulted the seireitei on the day of a festival, when everyone finally thought peace had returned. The captains, lieutenants, and rookies alike faced against him, but all fell short their lives saved only by the new Captain Commander.
Naratsu Seionyou, the student to Aaron Flamberge had become the commander and while he did not defeat Shin'ya the general fleed soon after their fight began. This event caused great turmoil in the seireitei and so the captain commander began to organize the divisions for an assault.
However, before this was able to come to fruition a strange threat from the human world occurred on a mission involving several rookies gone to take care of a rise in hollow population. The gates of hell had opened and so captains were called to quell the infestation of gatekeepers that swarmed from it. One of the rookies was pulled into the gates and so a rescue mission had to be organized.
The Captain Commander himself stood at the forefront of this mission, opening the gates with his powerful zanpakuto and his sheer force of will alone, the shinigami entered. The shinigami were fortunate enough to find their comrade and extricate them, but not without Heaven's generals entering hell themselves and assaulting them during.
Shin'ya and Tenebrae himself showed themselves and while Shin'ya fought off two captains, a lieutenant, and all six or so rookie shinigami with nearly flawless skills, Tenebrae and Naratsu faced off once again.
The rookies, along with the captain of the second division, managed to dismember Shin'ya, removing his arm completely. They then retreated, the gate opened by Naratsu still pervailing, and waited with bated breath for their commander to return as well.
While they waited the two powerhouses clashed, causing much destruction as their massive spiritual pressure pervaded the area, erasing any possibility of intrusion. Then the commander managed what most had thought unthinkable, he landed a blow on God.
Tenebrae received a wound and at this the God of the rukongai was pleased and departed, leaving Naratsu tired, but alive.
- - - - -
Since the battle, in which a single rookie lost his life, a general took a single wound, and another lost his arm, the shinigami rested. However, the quincy who had allied with them remained in bed, her abilities nearly sapped from her very being by the dreaded Shin'ya out of pure rage and hatred. Whiles others regained their strength, and some healed, Naratsu tried to regain his head after the heated battle. All in vain, for Tenebrae paid him a visit in the comfort of his home.
To add injury to his insult, the man then proclaimed one of the gotei thirteen's few captains...dead, by his hand no less.
The shinigami then departed and the following day, Naratsu sent the budding shinigami on a reconnaisance mission to discover the generals' base of operation. They succeeded, but only due to the noble sacrifice of one of their own, the same girl who had fallen to hell, now pulled Lariel, one of Tenebrae's generals, down with her.
The rookies now return to the seireitei, report, and make ready for the battle to come.
They wait for Heaven to come so they may slay them and rain down tears of blood on the world. Tears to drown the earth...the first drops of a new storm.
~Welcome Center~
Welcome to Bleach: Tears of Heaven. This is for everything you need to know coming into the RP.
Questions:
Q: Is there room for me to join?
A: Of course! This Rp is, and will always be open to new members.
Q: Can I make <insert Race>
A: Of course! We have character sheets for almost every race in the series. We are missing only wholes, bounts, regular humans(We got fullbringers), and those strange nobody guys from the 1st movie (didn't watch it). I think we've nailed literally every other race. If you want one of those, they are infact open. Just talk with me and I'll make a sheet for them.
Failing that, just a list of what we've go so far:
Shinigamis
Vizards
Hollows
Arrancars
Fullbringers
Sinners (4th movie)
Quincy
Find me a race I haven't mentioned. I dare you.
Q: Can I make more than one character?
A: Not only yes, I expect it to happen at some point. Gives you more freedom to move about.
Q: Who is the RP mainly about?
A: It's about the rookies, those growing stronger constantly as the new generation. That's why everyone is required to have one. Your rookie can be any race.
Q: What's a rookie?
A: Anybody who starts off fairly young and weak, and grows stronger and stronger throughout the RP. The rank will be increasing throughout the RP, but currently (starting out), it's 175
Q: Can I make Captain/Espada/Don Kannoji/ ect powered people?
A: Make a rookie first. Then we'll talk. Probably yes.
Q: So and so's not been on, and I can't move on without him!
A: If you desperately to move, and so and so hasn't posted for a week, you are allowed to powerplay to move out of the way. If so and so is stronger than a rookie, after 2 weeks expect the burning house rule (section on rules) to come into effect.
Q: I'm not good at Advanced section, can I still join?
A: Uh.... then why are you looking in Advanced? This sections not all that scary, we're not grammar nazi's here, and we're not going to beat you to death for any mistakes in your post, but try for the Advanced rules. If you can write 3-4 paragraphs on the average basis that are legible, then congratulations, you qualify for Advanced.
If I see any statement like this
"U no tis a bad examelz"
I will personally hunt you down and kill you. I actually died a little writing that. Other than that, we're pretty carefree here. Advanced isn't that scary. Hell, most people in High-Casual crowd are bigger pricks.
Q: I got an idea for an awesome arc, can I lead it?
A: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, YES! Course, clear it first, don't want to have everyone doing their own arc, but YES!
Q: Is an Espada Captain Class?
A: Yes. Again, we've got so many races I refer to the power scale from the shinigami scale. Just look at the ranks if your curious what level you are from another race.
Q: I"m from the previous RP, do my stats carry over?
A: Nope. Suck it. Your chars will, but your stats will have to be reset to the level they should be.
Q: Freakin' stats, how do they work?
A: Yes, had to include that meme about magnets. Anyways, works like so.
You are given a total amount of points to spend on 5 stats, listed in a below section, you spread them out to determine where your strengths and weaknesses are. This shows how powerful you are, and who would win against you in what. They also unlock abilities. After unlocking them, look over the abilities sections. Notice the numbers by them? Those are minimum requirements to have that ability. If your stats equal or exceed the ability, then you unlock it. I find it best to copy the ability section, post it in your character, and put in red the abilities you don't have, or bold the ones you do have/ect.
Q: Can shinigami make up their own Kido?
A: Yep. But it will be added to the whole group. I'll have a list of custom kido and such.
Rules:
1)Listen to GM's, or we will kick your ass.
2) Standard RP'ing rules. No godmoding, no metagaming, no powerplay without permission.
3) Everyone needs a rookie(175 points), or two. Don't post anything other than one as your first char. And yes, I keep track of who has what character..... ALL OF THEM. Ganryu knows, he does.
4) Ask the Gm's before posting anyone above rookie level. We'll probably say yes.
5) All races powers are the same, the sum of their stats. Don't go "He's an arrancar, so therefore stronger than a hollow, even if hollow has more stats."
6) Feel free to enjoy and converse in the OOC. Just don't spam it to the point of me having to read 20 pages after leaving for a few hours. See rule #1 for results of that.
7) I will regularly hand out stat boosts for the characters. Rookies get every bit I hand out. Lieutenants get half, Captains and up get a quarter. This is so the rookies grow faster. Yes, an Espada is 'Captain'
8) I lovingly refer to this as the 'Burning House Rule', and it works magnificently. If you have any high level character that impacts the story, and are gone for 2-4 weeks without prior notice, that character dies. The IC reason if their house burns down with them in it. If you have a powerful character, we have high expectations.
9) The more powerful you are, the harsher we'll grade your CS. Think of them as the sample writings in addition to character sheets. Doesn't mean go out and write a book on it, we have short attention spans, high quality=/=lengthJust put the three below together.

Find me a race I haven't mentioned. I dare you.
Q: Can I make more than one character?
A: Not only yes, I expect it to happen at some point. Gives you more freedom to move about.
Q: Who is the RP mainly about?
A: It's about the rookies, those growing stronger constantly as the new generation. That's why everyone is required to have one. Your rookie can be any race.
Q: What's a rookie?
A: Anybody who starts off fairly young and weak, and grows stronger and stronger throughout the RP. The rank will be increasing throughout the RP, but currently (starting out), it's 175
Q: Can I make Captain/Espada/Don Kannoji/ ect powered people?
A: Make a rookie first. Then we'll talk. Probably yes.
Q: So and so's not been on, and I can't move on without him!
A: If you desperately to move, and so and so hasn't posted for a week, you are allowed to powerplay to move out of the way. If so and so is stronger than a rookie, after 2 weeks expect the burning house rule (section on rules) to come into effect.
Q: I'm not good at Advanced section, can I still join?
A: Uh.... then why are you looking in Advanced? This sections not all that scary, we're not grammar nazi's here, and we're not going to beat you to death for any mistakes in your post, but try for the Advanced rules. If you can write 3-4 paragraphs on the average basis that are legible, then congratulations, you qualify for Advanced.
If I see any statement like this
"U no tis a bad examelz"
I will personally hunt you down and kill you. I actually died a little writing that. Other than that, we're pretty carefree here. Advanced isn't that scary. Hell, most people in High-Casual crowd are bigger pricks.
Q: I got an idea for an awesome arc, can I lead it?
A: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, YES! Course, clear it first, don't want to have everyone doing their own arc, but YES!
Q: Is an Espada Captain Class?
A: Yes. Again, we've got so many races I refer to the power scale from the shinigami scale. Just look at the ranks if your curious what level you are from another race.
Q: I"m from the previous RP, do my stats carry over?
A: Nope. Suck it. Your chars will, but your stats will have to be reset to the level they should be.
Q: Freakin' stats, how do they work?
A: Yes, had to include that meme about magnets. Anyways, works like so.
You are given a total amount of points to spend on 5 stats, listed in a below section, you spread them out to determine where your strengths and weaknesses are. This shows how powerful you are, and who would win against you in what. They also unlock abilities. After unlocking them, look over the abilities sections. Notice the numbers by them? Those are minimum requirements to have that ability. If your stats equal or exceed the ability, then you unlock it. I find it best to copy the ability section, post it in your character, and put in red the abilities you don't have, or bold the ones you do have/ect.
Q: Can shinigami make up their own Kido?
A: Yep. But it will be added to the whole group. I'll have a list of custom kido and such.
Rules:
1)Listen to GM's, or we will kick your ass.
2) Standard RP'ing rules. No godmoding, no metagaming, no powerplay without permission.
3) Everyone needs a rookie(175 points), or two. Don't post anything other than one as your first char. And yes, I keep track of who has what character..... ALL OF THEM. Ganryu knows, he does.
4) Ask the Gm's before posting anyone above rookie level. We'll probably say yes.
5) All races powers are the same, the sum of their stats. Don't go "He's an arrancar, so therefore stronger than a hollow, even if hollow has more stats."
6) Feel free to enjoy and converse in the OOC. Just don't spam it to the point of me having to read 20 pages after leaving for a few hours. See rule #1 for results of that.
7) I will regularly hand out stat boosts for the characters. Rookies get every bit I hand out. Lieutenants get half, Captains and up get a quarter. This is so the rookies grow faster. Yes, an Espada is 'Captain'
8) I lovingly refer to this as the 'Burning House Rule', and it works magnificently. If you have any high level character that impacts the story, and are gone for 2-4 weeks without prior notice, that character dies. The IC reason if their house burns down with them in it. If you have a powerful character, we have high expectations.
9) The more powerful you are, the harsher we'll grade your CS. Think of them as the sample writings in addition to character sheets. Doesn't mean go out and write a book on it, we have short attention spans, high quality=/=lengthJust put the three below together.

~Minor System Details~
*** There are 4 'factions' that one can be in.
The Gotei Forces, based in the Seireiti
The Espada, based in Las Noches of Hueco Mundo
The Human group, based in Karakura town
The villians, The Army of Heaven, based in the Rukongai
****In the Gotei forces, if a division doesn't have a captain, we're not going to put anyone in it. Similiarly for the Espada. If your a faccion, you serve an Espada.
***** Also for the Gotei Forces, multiple people in a squad can share a rank
*** We're going to assume the Espada naturally happened, the Espada formed of natural Arrancar, and built Las Noches themselves. And the Cero Espada is the Lord of Hueco Mundo.
*** Hyogoku doesn't exist. No one made it, nor will they. Arrancarization can happen naturally(Stark, Lillynette, Sora, ect), so we're going to assume it has. Same for the vizards, though it seems most of them were mad scientists based on the last RP.
*** Quincy aren't exactly common, but neither are they wiped out. Feel free to make them
**** No sternritter. Sorry, while badass, we still don't quite no enough about them. We're definitely stealing their letter system though, and what we know they can bring to the quincies, such as Blut
**** We're also not going into the Zero Squad, Royal Realm, or Spirit King. Same as above, don't know enough.
**** With hollows more rampant in Karakura town, expect many outbreaks. This also means more full bringers and lots of spiritually aware people.
**** Army of Heaven has 5 people, and will always have 5 people. What is the Army of Heaven? It's 4 individuals under Tenebrae's command who follow him for one reason, and one reason only. They all love power. Interestingly, they are affably evil. Sure, they'll destroy your village, but no need to be a jackass about it. Needless to say, they are all extremely strong.
**** All the shinigami should be young. There are a few exceptions, but if there are, it's because the profiles were good, and I mean damn good. Remember the very important plot point that all captains and lieutenants were killed off 50 years ago.
**** Seireiti's standing with other races will be a bit odd. The current commander is open to them, but has had other things on his plate, so hasn't worked well with the other races. He's been around 30 years. The one before him, similiar story, 20 years. The one before that was not open, hated other races for their disturbance to the balance of souls, and their lack of obedience. So this means for the most part, other races dislike the shinigami, but the shinigami don't really hate the other races, save hollows.
More or less, you want to be friendly with them, do so, you want to hate them, you have good reason to.

GM Assigned Numbers
37. Hakufuku (White Crawl) This technique muddles the consciousness of its target, causing them to black out.[37] It is classified as a Binding spell.
52. Inemuri (Forced Slumber) A spell that forces someone to fall asleep.

27. Noren Mekuri (Curtain Stripping) A spell that is capable of stripping away illusionary effects.
Custom Kido/GM made and/or improvised.
42. Keikatsu- A healing spell over one target. A green aura around the palm shows it working. It's slow to work, but effective.
72. Meiyu- A weaker healing spell over a wide area. A green aura covering an area slowly heals wounds.
95. Borresshun- a self damaging healing kido. In exchange for the user's vitality, a powerful healing kido is sent over a small area. It's so strong it causes plant life to grow. The user shares in the pain of the victim being healed, while at the same time pumping out a more powerful version of Meiyu to heal the wounds of both, though the damage is much more sever than the healing on the user. It's a dangerous spell to use.
99- Forbidden- Asase- A time/space kido that literally spices spacial properties of two areas, warping a user, and a bit of his surroundings to a new location. It destabilizes the space of both places, and is easy to reopen and track. Can't be used between realms.
