I'm sorry to do this but I am going to be leaving. It might seem like an overreaction but it's just knocked the stuffing out of me. It was both an experiment and a passion project which I started because there was nothing else on the site I wanted to join, but now I just have a sour taste in my mouth and my passion for the RP has basically just gone. I apologize to any and all that dislike this but If I were to force myself to continue I wouldn't be happy, and I'd prefer to be happy than be in a Bleach RP.
I give open permission to any and all people whom have expressed interest to use any and all of what I have posted for the RP, if you View the raw versions you can use the OOC etc that I made. If anyone is interested here is the basic plot lines we were going to follow. It is in a hider for spoiler reasons.
Me and Co-GM play as the force of Arrancar/hollow. All the players play as the Gotei 13 members.
Story - The Arrancar make themselves known to the Gotei, they attack in Karakura town and harrass the Shinigami. At one point they actually break into the Seireitei and attack the Gotei directly, nobody knows how. At this point all the prominent captains all join to fight off this attack. Using the attack as a distraction one of the Arrancar sneaks in and steals some artifacts from Central 46. Artifacts pertaining to Hell and dimension gateways.
The Arrancars plan is to open the gate to hell to go in and to attain power. They will eventually succeed. When they do, they are each granted the power of a deadly sin, 1 of 7. Then as more powerful beings they attack the Shinigami with intent to destroy them and all they stand for, making hollow the prominent race.
Trying to release an Ex Captain that was trapped in Central 46?
Squad 2 Captain to infiltrate Hueco Mundo to find out what the Arrancar stole. Multiple fights in Karakura Town.
Stage 1 - Harrasment in Karakura Town Stage 2 - The attack on the Seireitei, taking artifacts from Central 46 Stage 3 - The Shinigami attempt to hit back, taking the fight to the Arrancar Stage 4 - The fighting makes the arrancar retreat to hueco Mundo where the Shinigami follow them to big fights happen Stage 5 - The leader of the Arrancar is revealed and moves the battle to the real world, once there the Espada have to protect their leader whilst he completes a ritual Stage 6 - The Ritual is complete and the gate to hell opens, he along with his Espada all walk in and the doors shut behind them, non of the Shinigami dare to follow Stage 7 - Back in the Seireitei the Shinigami grasp for answers as to what happend when it is revealed waht they took from Cetnral 46 some kind of object that could allow them to take power from Hell Stage 8 - Not soon after, the Esapda return, but they are different. An all out attack takes place in which the newly powered Esapda take on the Captains all at once, Some Espada are defeated. Stage 9 - The leader of the Espada fights and takes out multiple captains. Just before he is about to destroy the entire Seireitei the gates to hell open up behind him, he does not know why. A great arm reaches out and grabs hold of him and pulls him inside screaming. Afterwards a man walks out, he talks to the Shinigami and tells them that to be the king of hell, you are consigned to live their forever. As such the big bad is locked in hell forever.
The big bad wants to destroy all Shinigami, to do this he needed the help of the Arrancar, however he knew that they would never be powerful enough to defeat the Gotei 13 that's why he used Hell, he need to make a new army, a better race to defeat the Shinigami and he tried by using the powers in hell. The big bad is now locked in hell for all of eternity. End of Arc.
RP starts with a random low rank shinigami being killed in Karakura town. It creates a rumble in the Seireitei but they think he just came up against a Hollow and was too inexperienced. Until it happens again, at which point someone is sent. They find an Arrancar finishing off another Shinigami, they attack and after throwing a few blows the Arrancar backs off. He warns the Shinigami that they are coming, that a war is looming. When asked who the Arrancar responds 'The Espada' opens a Gargantua and leaves.
8 Arrancar controlled by me and a Co-gm. 1 Leader and 7 Arrancar whom are very powerful, akin to Espada.
Hopefully 12 players, each being a Captain of the Gotei, players can have an extra character, but not another Captain, they can be a lieutenant or 3rd/4th seat but not of the squad that their Captain controls. Any extra players will have to be lower ranks.
Lust - Similar to Amor? Intense and excessive desire. These souls are blown back and forth by the terrible winds of a violent storm, without rest. This symbolizes the power of lust to blow one about needlessly and aimlessly.
Gluttony - Eats Reiatsu? Overconsuption to the point of waste. The "great worm" Cerberus guards the gluttons, who are forced to lie in a vile slush produced by ceaseless, foul, icy rain. The gluttons lie here sightless and heedless of their neighbors, symbolizing the cold, selfish, and empty sensuality of their lives.
Greed - Avarice, sin of desire similar to gluttony and lust. The two groups joust, using as weapons great weights that they push with their chests:
Wrath - Kenpachi 2.0 Rage. In the swampy waters of the river Styx, the wrathful fight each other on the surface. All reside in a desert of flaming sand with fiery flakes raining from the sky,
Limbo - Eh? Lust - Similar to Amor? Intense and excessive desire. Gluttony - Eats Reiatsu? Overconsuption to the point of waste Greed - Avarice, sin of desire similar to gluttony and lust. Anger - Kenpachi 2.0 Rage Heresy - Violence - Kenpachi 2.0 Rage Fraud - Mirrors ability. Taking opponents abilities? jealousy Trechery -
I hope you understand my position, I'm just disinterested now.
P.S - The pictures in the OOC are links to Bleach OST songs.
Announcment: It has come to my attention that over half of our NPC characters we have been basing the story around have been plagiarized from another site. Copy/Paste with a name change. I'm not happy.
I'm going to have to take some time whilst I decide what to do.
@Yvain To be honest I'd like to keep the History section pretty Free-form, people can do almost anything they like as long as it shows what molded them into the people they are today. You dojn't have to complete it either, if you think of something cool later on in the RP have your character reveal it IC and then add it to your CS.
@ProPro The specific division roles will be the same as Cannon.
@Rin I guess I'll allow it but it would be the only Captain like it, or rather I'd only accept one character like that. I'd probably prefer more normal captains but I won't stop you if you have a really strong theme your going for, so shoot.
So here is where accepted characters shall be kept! The CS skeleton is split into two parts, one about your Shinigami and the other your Zanpakuto. You can format your CS in pretty much anyway you like, as long as its understandable and easy to find the important information. If you wish to use the CS exactly as shown I shall provide the skeleton code in a hider underneath. If you dislike the CS and find how it differs a little unwieldy then I'm fine with a standard CS (The code to which I shall also provide).
C S T E M P L A T E
₪ - S h i n i g a m i
₪ - Name
Pretty self explanatory really.
₪ - Appearance
Pictures are great you can use them freely, this section is more to describe the aestetics that set your cahracter apart from the rest such as Reiatsu colour, Haori colour and any additional clothes they may wear etc.
₪ - Division & Rank
Self explanatory.
₪ - Ideology
This section replaces the traditional 'personality'. It describes your character's moral values, how they perceive the world and other people, actions and passions, philosophies and attributes, etc. an idea I stole off of Prisk 'cos she is a smart lady.
₪ - History
Just a brief summary of the major events in your characters life up until now. Doesn't have to be very long and doesn't need to include anything of your characters life before becoming a Shinigami.
₪ - Abilities
These are the general Shinigami abilities your character has, it includes Shunpo, Kido any ability you may have that doesn't include your Zanpakuto. I wasn't sure where to put this as it seemed out of place in the Shinigami section yet it's not about your Zanpakuto. Here will do!
₪ - Z a n p a k u t o
₪ - Zanpakuto Spirit
Obviously you don't have to go into as much depth as you have for your Shinigami but give me an idea of what your Zanpakuto Spirit is like, it's relationship with your character and how it all relates to what kind of power you hold.
₪ - Inner World
This should be a representation of your characters subconcious and the domain of your spirit. You don't have to put much detail but I thought it would be a nice addition to the CS.
₪ - Shikai
Now we get to the nitty-gritty! This includes your release phrase or any special act your character has to preform to release their Zanpaktuo. Most importantly though this is where you shall detail what your Shikai does in terms of ability. This is the section I require detail and clarity about.
₪ - Bankai
And the coup de grâce! This is your characters ace in the whole, their 'final form' if you will. It should be an extension of what your Shikai can do but to a more powerful degree. I'll be needing equal detail and clarity for this section as well.
I admit this looks like just a mass of BBCode, however whilst you write it if you space everything out it's a lot clearer, then once complete you can squish it all back together again.

And so that is that! The full roster of accepted players will be in the OOC OP as well as a message of whether or not we are accepting new characters. If the RP is full but you are still interested don't hesitate to make yourself known though, we can probably work something out or at the very least put you on a waiting list. Have fun!
