Omg, I just vanished from the face of the earth... had a loooot to do all of a sudden and yeah, this sorta slipped my mind. I will take a quick look at what spots that are still open.
Q: Would people like to be able to create unique histories and their own lore (royal families, factions, races) at some point in the RP? A: Yes I'm totally okay with that, but I feel it should be within reason so we don't end up with a new Ichigo.
Q: Would people like to have the chance to lead their own Arcs later in the RP? A: Yes again, but once again only if it is within reason
Q: 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. A: I would prefer to play either a Shinigami or Quincy.
Q: 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? A: A mix of both. I would prefer if the GM handled the bigger villans, but the minor ones can be controlled by whoever wants.
Q: Should there be a limit to how many characters a player can make? A: I would say one per faction or 2-3
