[OOC] Bleach: Soul Extinction

[AbigailTenshi]

Actually, @hatakekuro do you wanna spar with @LokiLeo789 since you have Zhen in Squad 13 right? If you do, have your character walk pass the Captain and the group and I'll have Hinen point your character out since she's just an NPC so it'll probably be better to have actually characters spar rather than an NPC :P But it's up to you. Plus if you're going the initiation route, then you can just say that a member of Squad 13 that you met took you to the Captain and then Sai will imitate you too ^-^

@AbigailTenshi You're thinking of Masami. xD

@hatakekuro

Yeah them xD So you up for it?

[Archmage MC]

With this arbitraty 'power' system, how will you justify adding races that aren't shimigami? will they have more power starting out to make them on par with pre established characters, do those power ratings mean very little or none at all, or what? And what about new people, do they get a power boost to catch up to everyone else so they don't get left behind or do they start from ground zero? Both situations are unfair to veterans and new players alike.

[Remram]

@AbigailTenshi Yup. I just need to start a post. xD

@hatakekuro

Well fantasticoooo! ^-^ Just say that your character went to Squad 13 and spoke to a member since they couldn't find the Captain within their office and that the member took them to where the Captain was and we'll go from there ^-^

[Remram]

@AbigailTenshi You may have to wait for a bit. I'm going to post as all three of them at once so that may take a little while.

[AbigailTenshi]

@hatakekuro
Okay, I was just wondering if you were gunna so then I'll wait for after you've posted and if Loki posts to post again :P

@Archmage MC

For now the RP is centred around the Shinigami race and every character will start from the bottom and work their way up, rank and strength wise. It's fair because it applies to everyone so yeah o3o

[Oblivion666]

They can train, that's one way to get stronger. Up to them to show the dedication if they don't want to be highly outclassed

[Remram]

Okay I need to stop dicking around and post

[Remram]

Sorry for the lame post. I have to get going soon.

@Oblivion666

Welp, this'll be an RP of you 4 or so then, because RPs like this don't attract new people very well if there is no catch up mechanic.

[samreaper]

@archmage mc by what you just said basically you're saying new people to the rp should be able to make chars that are instantly at the same power as those who have ben rping? if you can't handle starting out fresh and working your way up then no this rp is not for you. Just accept that you can't make a hollow at this point and move on. This isn't your rp so stop acting like you're above the rules.

@samreaper

Well if you want new players to join, you need some catch up mechanic so they feel like they can do something. If you have no fresh blood, it'll just be you guys posting and thats it, no new person to add a new spin on things or new ideas or new character interactions with their own take on things, just you guys over and over and over. If your OK with that then you might as well set the RP to closed because thats what it basically is.

@Archmage MC

and how do they catch up? by rping which is the damn basic way of rping. that is the catch up mechanic. what you're saying is to include some extra rule that lets new players get extra points or so while old players don't which would mean their hard work would be pointless since a new person could just come in and pass them in far less time when instead the rpers could work together to help each other grow stronger at their own pace. YOu're worried more on who's stronger and weaker and not what this rp is about and just having fun interacting, working together and growing relationships and so forth.

If you're gonna make a new char you're gonna have to accept that it'll start at the beginning if you can't deal with that then again this rp is not for you.

[Kurisa]

@Archmage MC Well that's simply your Opinion. This formula has worked before and will likely work again. After all this group is meant to be at least 5+ it's currently at that so in my eyes it's succeeding o3o If this isn't the RP for you then there are many others out there that surely will be but just because our opinion on the matter is different to yours doesn't make us wrong...nor does it make you wrong.

I'm just going to say that now basically we have no plans for Arrancars to come into the RP yet and they are some time off. For one person to request it isn't enough as that would lead to that person being isolated and I wont allow that. It also doesn't fit for Arrancars to be around Shinigami so carelessly. I'm just going to say that sorry but this really doesn't seem like this RP will work for you and I can only suggest looking for one that suits your tastes better...

[AbigailTenshi]

@LokiLeo789
Yeah, you can choose whether you want to spar with my NPC or with Hatake's character, I don't mind which one, I just didn't want you to feel like you're stuck RPing with just me f(^_^')
