Bleach - Resonant Souls [AU]

@BladeSS4 There's actually quite a few problems here, so I'll go over it one by one from the top.

Personality. Mention of Kenpachis is just out of place. It's... Not wrong, and Soul Society as it is now does still have a Kenpachi, but it's a term that suggests he's already familiar with Soul Society, so you can simply reword this section.

Backstory. One major problem only, and that's that mortal men don't do deals or work with Hollows. That's just impossible. They are but monsters, some more intelligent than others, but they do not have that level of collusion and cooperation like demons in other media.

Substitute Shinigami. If you had died, and then went to fight a Hollow, even if you had god-like reiryoku like Ichigo did in the first episode, you would not stand a chance, because only zanpakuto or Quincy abilities can hurt Hollow. There is absolutely no way for this to happen. You will have to revise this completely.

Stats. There's actually no problem, for the sake of tidiness just get rid of the descriptions.

Shinigami Arts. You cannot do a 0.5 distribution, it's in units of 1 only. Given your character's focus, I suggest just Zanjutsu and Hoho.

Zanpakuto. So, a unique zanpakuto sealed state is not given until the shinigami achieves Shikai. So you will have to use just one blade. Once you achieve Shikai, you can then get the twin blades. The only rule for an asauchi is that it is a single blade. You may decorate it or wear it however you like.

Let me know once you've revised your sheet.

@LadyAnnaLee great, I'll send you a message soon. The technique is also quite fine.

Also for everyone, in your spare time you can format your sheets to look prettier and clean up system info from them.

Bleach - Resonant Souls [AU]

A little for everyone.

For techniques I recommend making your own. The show doesn't have any focus on this sort of thing. That being said, the one you have there is pretty powerful, so you'll probably want to swap it out with something else.

If you want me to provide some examples I can drop a few now that I will make up on the spot.

• [Zanjutsu] Twin-Mirage Cut: Two slashes executed at such speed it appears like one cut. The first and second cuts can be done in different angles, allowing it to either be different angles to be a more difficult attack to defend against, or the same angle twice to apply more pressure on a target.
• [Hakuda] Dispelling Fist: Cause an eruption of reiatsu focused in the palm upon striking. Though the strike will not yield a lot of extra power, it will cause a concussive force to blow back anything it strikes.
• [Hoho] Spring-step Footwork: Light footwork that enables minute-evasion with minimal exertion, as well as keeping light to enable easier retreat when defending.

@Morgannis good shit. I got an idea for you, check DM soon. Also Shunpo is actually quite advanced. You'll wanna change that. For reference its achievable at Hoho 2. Describe the zanjutsu technique too please.

@SleepyWrites not yet but probably soon after I unveil the Shinigami recruiters.

Bleach - Resonant Souls [AU]

@McNephelim The substitute/you the player. They're purposely looking for people on the verge of death to make the offer.

There's a reason for it. It should be known that anyone can technically become a substitute.

Bleach - Resonant Souls [AU]

@LadyAnnaLee I'm sure you actually mean Hoho in the technique. Just give it a name and describe what it does. Elusive Leap or something.

Character overall is ok, though maybe go into how she nearly or was going to die. There'll be more I want to ask but hold on that for now.

I'll also be unveiling the two recruiter Shinigami later this week, and making an npc character sheet for people to also add their own npcs. Plus thinking about special npc roles, which will be plot relevant npcs basically that people can submit ideas for. In such a case I recommend making them related to yours or another player's character but I'll go over that later.

For all still paying attention I'm pacing the opening of this as I work full time, so I just do a bit here and there and major checks on days off.

Bleach - Resonant Souls [AU]

@LadyAnnaLee Nope. It is not counted towards the point total.

Bleach - Resonant Souls [AU]

It's give or take. I had recently learned a little more might be a good idea.

Bleach - Resonant Souls [AU]

I'd say this is a pretty good amount of interest. I'll get to having a CS and such out soon.

EDIT: I have a CS and system out. Still subject to change but people can start making characters if they like.

Bleach - Resonant Souls [AU]

Do I have to have active knowledge of the show to join this? I loved bleach back in the day, but the last thing I remember was the stuff with Kariya, although I know I love Grimmjow so I think I watched a bit of that arc too? Either way I'm interested, if that's ok.

@Morgannis

Part of this RP's intent is to introduce elements of the series bit by bit in roughly the same order the anime did. So for now it's the beginning with introduction to the job of Shinigami in the human world and Shinigami as a whole, to then introducing Soul Society and greater levels of strength as Shinigami.

It's not a 1 for 1 of course but basically if you join you won't be required to know a whole lot.
