First of all, welcome to the Bleach RP, I hope you have some fun here… just be sure to read the rules before joining and creating your character (yes, this took me a long time to do and compile, so you better read them all hehe)

This RP will be situated inside the main Bleach storyline, and from there it will take it’s own course. I don’t have any intentions of trying to recreate what as already happened on the anime/manga and will still happen. However I will use some of its story as a base… so the timeline will start before Orihime is kidnapped to Hueco Mundo.

The world is at peace now, yet the Hollow attacks on the human world have been increasing exponentially. The shinigami’s think this is connected to the disappearance into Hueco Mundo of one of the former captains, Aizen. Yet that is still to be proved true.





The humans of Bleach are much like the residents of modern Japan, and most cannot see or sense disembodied spirits in any way. Spirits can, however, inhabit artificial human bodies called gigai which are visible to ordinary humans. One in 50,000 humans is a medium with some awareness of nearby spirits, but only a third of these are able to see them clearly, and only the strongest of mediums are able to speak with or touch spirits. Certain unique humans naturally have both the power to sense and the strength to fight with spirits. Ordinary humans can gain the ability to interact with spirits by spending time around a large source of spirit energy.

- Plus -
Plus: Benign spirits in Bleach are known as pluses. A plus is the spirit of a person who has died. A chain, known as the Chain of Fate, protrudes from the chest and binds the plus to a location, object or person that they felt close to in life. The soul can move about freely if the chain is broken, but this also causes the chain to corrode. Normally, pluses are sent to Soul Society by shinigami in a ritual called soul burial, before this corrosion becomes significant. If the Chain of Fate is corroded entirely before a soul burial can be performed, a hole will form in the chest of the soul where the chain was once anchored. Such souls are driven mad and become evil spirits known as hollows. If the Chain of Fate is torn out deliberately, this also leads to spiritual degradation.



Shinigami are departed human souls that have gained supernatural powers. As such, their bodies are composed of ectoplasm and they can only be seen by other spiritually aware entities, which excludes most humans. In the series, shinigami, as well as most other types of spirits, are quite capable of influencing their environment. Additionally, they can be injured and die like regular humans, though it takes considerably greater injuries for the latter to occur than it would in regular humans.
The most prominent power possessed by a shinigami is their zanpakutō, a sword generated from the shinigami's soul. Shinigami also naturally give off spiritual energy, which varies greatly in magnitude with the strength of a shinigami. A zanpakutō is a physical manifestation of this force concentrated into a blade.
Shinigami operations are based out of Soul Society, which is the afterlife in Bleach. Travel between the human world and Soul Society is extremely limited and monitored, but some shinigami are stationed in the human world to carry out their duties and therefore must often travel between the two. In addition, it is a crime for a shinigami to remain in the human world longer than a certain time limit. A shinigami's duties include leading Pluses (ghosts) to Soul Society in a practice called soul burial (konsō), and the cleansing of hollows (evil spirits).
Training:
The majority of training for individuals wanting to become shinigami is done through the Shinigami Academy. It is a six-year academy, during which time its students learn to fight hollows and perform soul burial duties.

Combat
The shinigami have four forms of combat: kidō, hand-to-hand combat, foot combat, and swordsmanship.

- Kidō -
Kidō are a type of sorcery used by shinigami. They can be used for various purposes, such as healing, attacking, and restraining. Healing seems to be a more general skill, while attacking and binding require an incantation to be recited beforehand. Demon arts spells are divided into two major groups: destructive spells used for direct attack, and binding spells which are spells that restrain someone or have other effects. These forms of demon arts spells are performed by calling out a complicated and often long-winded incantation followed by the name of the spell, which causes an effect once the name has been recited. Lesser versions of the spells can be used by calling out the name alone, but their effectiveness is reduced when used in such a fashion.

- Hand-to-hand combat -
Hand-to-hand combat in Bleach is not elaborated upon. Special forces troops, especially those of higher ranks such as Soifon, are known to be well-trained in this field.

- Agility -
Agility (lit. step method), like hand-to-hand combat, is not elaborated upon. Flash steps (shunpo), a movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow, is implied to be part of this category.Another skill, though not necessarily related, is the shinigami ability to walk on air using spiritual power. By collecting and solidifying spiritual particles beneath their feet, shinigami can gain traction on thin air to either freely move about or to stop themselves from falling.

- Swordsmanship -

Zanpakutō
Swordsmanship is the most used form of combat among shinigami, since their zanpakutō is the most effective way of dispatching any given opponent. As the name suggests, it involves using a zanpakutō and its various special abilities to attack an opponent. In addition to its basic form, each zanpakutō has two enhanced forms: shikai and bankai, which change the sword's form to unlock its potential and that of its user.

Mission Aids:

To aid in their missions, particularly when said missions involve more than simply dispatching a hollow, shinigami have a number of unique items to assist them in their duties. In addition, it should be noted that all shinigami captains and lieutenants have their spiritual energy reduced by about 80% when they enter the human world by use of a spiritual limit, represented by a seal resembling the symbol unique to their division, in order not to cause unnecessary influence while there. In extreme cases where their full power is needed, they can request a limit release.

Gigai
In certain circumstances, a shinigami will need a way to stay in the human world for long periods of time, interact with the living, and/or recover their powers when the need arises, all of which they can't do in spirit form. Thus, the gigai was developed.
A gigai is an artificial body that allows shinigami to remain in the human world for an extended period, either due to temporary loss of powers or extended missions. While the body is synthetic, it functions and operates exactly like a natural one, including but not limited to blood flow and the like. Unlike the normal shinigami body, a gigai is detectable by humans who are not spiritually aware.

Artificial souls

- Soul Candy
Artificial souls .as the name suggests, are souls designed by shinigami scientists to separate a shinigami's spirit from a gigai, should they be inhabiting one, or to evict stubborn spirits from their corpses if necessary. When ingested, it forces the soul out of the body and takes control of it, operating in a pre-programmed manner until removed by the shinigami. It is commonly called Soul Candy, as the Shinigami Women Organization complained that the name gikongan wasn't cute and had it changed. To fit with the more informal name, Soul Candy is contained in PEZ-like dispensers with cartoon characters on top.

- Modified souls
Because there are far more hollows than shinigami, the modified soul (mod soul) project was born in an attempt to even the gap. Modified souls are artificial souls designed to enhance regular human physiology, making them capable of battling hollows equally. For example, one modsoul may be able to run many times faster than a regular human while another may be many times stronger than normal. Kon, a recurring modsoul, has enhanced leg-strength. The modsouls are condensed into tiny, candy-like orbs and placed into corpses to achieve their function as soldiers to combat hollows. They are also more independent to fit with their purpose.
The modsouls were exterminated after the experiment was halted due to ethical reasons, since they were intended to be used to reanimate human corpses to use as weapons against the hollows.


Memory replacement
In some cases, a human witnesses a shinigami purify a hollow or affect his surroundings in a significant way. To keep the incident a secret, shinigami perform memory replacement with an item called kikanshinki. In function, it operates almost exactly like the neuralizer in the Men in Black films. When used, a bird's head pops from the top of the device and produces a puff of smoke. The human it is used on is knocked unconscious and wakes up a while later with a new memory. However, the new memory that the human acquires is random and often based on the limits of what they themselves will believe.

Mobile phone
A vital tool for any shinigami stationed in the real world, this variation on a mobile phone functions both as a regular phone and as a communication line with Soul Society. It receives information about the time and exact location of a hollow's emergence via Global Positioning System (GPS). A shinigami's kills are also recorded in the phone and can be used as currency (according to the bounty placed on each hollow).

-= Shinigami Army =-

The shinigami army consists of three unique elements: the Gotei 13 (Thirteen Court Divisions), the Kidō Corps, and the special forces.

1- Kidō Corps

There is currently little information on the Kidō Corps (kidōshū?), except that it takes students from the Shinigami Academy that excel in demon arts and that its operations are executed in absolute secrecy.
The Kidō Corps is responsible for opening the senkaimon (senkaimon lit. world penetration gate) between the human world and Soul Society.

2- Special forces

Also called the Secret Mobile Unit/Corps or Covert Ops, the onmitsukidō (, onmitsukidō lit. secret tactics, called the Stealth Force in the English dubbed version) has five divisions. The top rank is the Executive Militia (, keigun), the second is the Patrol Corps ( keiratai , and the fifth division is called the Reversal Counter Force or Correctional Force (, riteitai). The other two division names or functions are unknown. There is little information about the operations of the special forces.
The Special Forces are currently run by Captain Soifon of the Gotei 13's 2nd Division. She succeeded Yoruichi Shihouin, who departed Soul Society 100 years before the start of the Bleach storyline.

3- Gotei 13

The Gotei 13 (goteijūsantai, 13 Division Imperial Guards, or 13 Court Guard Squads in the English dubbed version) is the organization which most shinigami join. It is split into thirteen divisions (hence the name), with several divisions having certain specializations. The 4th Division is the medical/supply division, the 11th Division is the combat division (specialization in swordsmanship), and the 12th Division is the research/scientific division. The 9th Division was shown, in a Shinigami Cup extra, to be in charge of newspaper and magazine-related duties. It's unclear if the other divisions are specialized, as the four above are the only ones who receive any significant attention apart from their members.

1st Division
Captain: Yamamoto Genryuusan
Lieutenant: Chōjirō Sasakibe

2nd Division
Captain: Soi Fon
Lieutenant: Marechiyo Ōmaeda
The 2nd Division, once headed by Yoroichi, is master of fist fighting and hand to hand combat.

The Bounts were created as the accidental result of an explosion during an experiment by the predecessor to the Seireiteii Technological Institute. The experiment was an attempt to develop eternal life using the already slow-aging shinigami souls as the base, but the materials used in the experiment crossed with the development of souls in the real world and led to the creation of a new spiritually-active human race, the Bount.
The Bount souls were scattered about the world, giving rise to a new race that never aged after reaching their twenties or thirties. They were generally treated as outcasts due to the fact that they did not age.
The shinigami scientist responsible for their creation, Ran'Tao, gathered most of the Bount into a small community, with the intent of their quality of life. Yet by order of the Sould Society shinigami where dispatched with the intention of ending their mistake once and for all.

Dolls:
Bount, being created as variations on a shinigami soul, have similar powers to shinigami. The foremost of these powers is the Bount doll, a familiar equivalent to the shinigami zanpakutō. Like a zanpakutō, a doll is its creator's power given physical form. Also like a zanpakutō, a doll's personality is much like its creator's, though the dolls seem to have more personality variation than the zanpakutō spirits seen thus far.
The main difference between a doll and a zanpakutō is how they operate. Unlike a zanpakutō, whose personality is generally dormant except when the shinigami wishes to speak to them, a doll's personality is always dominant. Dolls are self-sufficient when released, though they can easily be resealed. The Bount's ability to control their doll is largely based on their individual power and relationship with the doll. Moreover, if either the doll or its Bount partner sustains severe damage in a battle, the Bount may lose control over his doll, depending on the amount of damage dealt. If a doll is injured, it will simply return itself to its sealed state. However, should its master be injured, the doll may go berserk and kill its master.

Like a zanpakutō, dolls are generally sealed into an object and released as necessary. The object varies greatly from person to person and is often an expression of the doll's abilities. In order to call upon a Bount's doll, the phrase "Zeige Dich" is said, which is a German phrase meaning "Show yourself."
To summon a doll, a Bount needs to undergo a ritual where they chant an incantation. These instructions were first given to young Kariya by Ran'Tao after the shinigami attack. The ritual includes sulfur, phosphorus, carbon, water, fat, magnesium and lime (the ingredients of the human body). When a doll is summoned, it is small in size and power, but grows as the Bount's power grows.

- Hollow -

The Hollow are deceased souls that remained on Earth, stranded for any number of reasons, letting their hopes and dreams die, while despair takes hold of their heart. The process of a normal soul changing into a hollow tends to take months, however under special circumstances that time can be greatly reduced.

Once a soul turns into a hollow, it is driven to devour other souls, from the living or from the dead alike. Most are just transform into this mindless obsessed spectre, however in some rare cases they regain a degree of conscience that allows them to evolve.

They are known to live in Huevo Mundo, but they can travel between the two world at will, allowing them to attack the human population as they see fit.

Menos
They are conglomerations of hundreds of normal hollows, resulting in a single composite entity of far greater strength than any normal hollow. Menos are created when the void within an ordinary hollow's heart becomes so substantial that human souls are incapable of sustaining it, at which point it begins devouring fellow hollows.
These cannibal hollows are attracted to one another, and a mass inter-devouring follows, resulting in a Gillian.
Evolution stages:
Gillian is the weakest class of Menos and the first stage of Menos evolution. They are giant in comparison to other hollows, standing as tall as a two-story building, yet they seem to be quite stupid. They generally don’t have a personality, yet on some rare cases a single soul inside the Gillian can subdue all the others. These counscient variants of the Gillian are the only ones with the potential to access the next step of evolution.
Adjuchas are the medium class of menos in terms of power, and the second stage in the menos evolution. Adjuchas can vary radically in appearance, from bulky humanoids to the animal-like forms, yet all of them have human size and a considerable amount of intelligence just like a normal single entity.
They need to keep devouring other Menos and Hollows to maintain they’re current form, or else their mind will be in risk of being absorbed by the other hollows coexisting on the same body. If that indeed happens the lack of an individual will also prevent the reverted gillian from becoming an adjuchas again.
Vasto lorde are the most powerful class of menos, and the final stage in the menos evolutionary line. They appear almost completely humanoid, and each one is stronger than an average shinigami captain. They’re the rarest form of Menos, living inside the very Depths of Hueco Mundo, but their numbers aren’t exact.




An arrancar is a hollow that has removed its mask and gained shinigami powers.
There are two ways of one becoming an Arrancar: The first is for the Hollow itself evolve, ripping his own mask, and so engaging on the transformation; the second is by interference of the “Orb of Distortion” in control of Aizen, this object will force the transformation, and it known to make more powerfull Arrancar then the original method.
Arrancar and ordinary hollows differ in two ways: the location of their holes and the near-total disappearance of their masks. When hollows become arrancar, the chances of them retaining a humanoid form increase with their intelligence; only vasto lorde-class arrancar will definitely assume a humanoid form. If powerful enough, an arrancar can seal his or her excess power into the form of a zanpakutõ.

Arrancar ranks:
The arrancar under Aizen's command are arranged into various ranks based on their strength. Not all of the existing arrancar are under Aizen's command, mostly through lack of interest on Aizen's part.

Espada: Are the 10 more powerful Arrancar’s under Aizen’s command.

Numeros: They are assigned a two digit number at birth from 11 to 99 to indicate their age.

Fraccion: They are a sub-section of the Numeros that directly serve a specific Espada.

Privaron Espada: They are former Espada who have officially lost their rank and are assigned a three-digit number. Being former Espada, they are stronger than normal Numeros.

Exequias: They are part of a execution division that is in charge with the termination of unwanted entities.



Powers:

Like shinigami, hollows have a multitude of combat skills and abilities, most of which are usually unique to specific hollows. The more powerful hollows, however, have access to a range similar techniques of greater power or use than their own unique skills. Hollows usually acquire energy to power their abilities by devouring souls, but can also ingest energy from the atmosphere when in realms with high concentration of spiritual energy, such as Hueco Mundo.

Bala: is an arrancar alternative to the cero. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it like a bullet from their fist. Though weaker than a cero blast, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate

Cero: are high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts, such as mouth, tongue, hand or fingers. Only menos, arrancar, and vizard have so far been shown to use cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently.

Garganta: is a teleporting power that allows arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.

Hierro: refers to the hardened skin of the arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power.While their skin is strong enough to block even released zanpakutō bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger arrancar have proportionally stronger skin.

Negación: fields are used to rescue fellow hollows. Only the gillian-class menos have shown the ability to use it. Negación fields surround a target in a square beam of light that isolates the target from the dimension they are currently in, making it impossible to harm them. The field then pulls the target towards the menos that created the field. Espada have a special cube-shaped device called Caja Negación meant to simulate negación fields, which are used to punish their subordinates if necessary. The cube, when used on a subject, traps them in an alternate dimension from which there is no escape; however, this assumes it's being used as intended. More powerful arrancar, namely the Espada themselves, can escape given enough time.

Pesquisa:) is the arrancar equivalent of the shinigami ability to sense spiritual pressure. It functions similar to sonar.

Sonído is the arrancar equivalent of the shinigami flash steps and the Quincy hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances.Use of sonído is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound used for flash steps.

Arrancar Zanpakutou
Powerful and skilled Arrancar are able to seal their hollow side into the shape of a sword equivalent to a Shinigami’s Zanpakutou. Unlike Shinigami Zanpakutou, the Arrancar’s are not separate sentient spirits, but rather their concentrated and sealed hollow reiatsu. Despite the difference in origin, Arrancar and Shinigami Zanpakutou are roughly equivalent when in their initial sealed state.

Resurrección
Resurrección (Spanish for Resurrection) is the released form of an Arrancar’s Zanpakutou. Resurrección, like shikai, requires a release phrase, but that’s where the similarities end. A released Arrancar Zanpakutou causes the Arrancar to regain his or her hollow traits, in other words, revealing their “true” form. While in resurrección, Arrancar gain white bone-like armor that mimics the shape and characteristics of their original hollow form, and they gain an exponential increase in strength as well as new abilities which vary from one Arrancar to the next.



They are shinigami who have obtained hollow powers and whose shinigami powers remain dominant (although they do have to undergo a process and maintain their dominance over their hollow).
Having begun as shinigami, the vizard appear entirely human, and they’re appearance doesn’t change dramatically when they release their hollow powers. The only visual differences are that a mask appears, and their eyes change colour boosting their own power massively.

It is unclear what the motives of the vizard are. It is known, however, that vizard are considered criminals by Soul Society for committing the ultimate taboo of acquiring hollow powers. Hollows would also never accept a vizard, due to their former status as shinigami.

Powers:

In battle, the vizard use their hollow powers to augment their shinigami abilities, granting them massive increases in speed, stamina, and strength. They also gain access to some of the common hollow abilities, such as cero blasts. Bodily harm can seemingly be ignored while wearing their masks.



in the Bleach universe broadly correspond to the life and afterlife of human belief systems. The living humans of Bleach reside in a world resembling present-day Japan; buried souls live in a kind of Heaven called Soul Society; evil souls are sent to Hell. Once in Soul Society, a spirit is able to live longer than humans in the living world, with many aging into the thousands of years. Once a spirit dies in Soul Society, its soul is sent back to the living world and reborn as a new human. This provides the two worlds with balance.

Human world: The human world of Bleach is modern Japan, specifically; a fictional area of Western Tokyo called Karakura Town. In this world, Ichigo attends school and fights hollows. Places of note are the high school, the Urahara Shop, the river where Ichigo's mother was killed, the cemetery, Karakura Hospital, and Ichigo and Orihime's homes.

Soul Society: Soul Society consists of an expansive walled city Seireitei, in the center and four regions, each with 80 districts, outside of it. The districts outside of the Seireitei are known as the Rukongai (, Town of Wandering Spirits?) and are the place where non-shinigami and commoners live. The district number of the Rukongai (ranging from 1 to 80) also describes its conditions. District 1, the closest to Seireitei, is peaceful and orderly, while the most distant District 80 is filled with criminals and has the poorest living conditions. A king resides in another realm within Soul Society.

Hueco Mundo: Hueco Mundo is the area between the human world and Soul Society. Literally meaning "hollow world" it is where hollows reside, and are undetectable as long as they remain inside. Entrances to Hueco Mundo are created by ripping the dimensional fabric between the two worlds. Hueco Mundo is divided into three sections. On the surface is a desert-like realm, held in perpetual nighttime and home to the strongest hollows and the Las Noches palace. Directly underneath is the Forest of Menos, home to general menos and almost all the Gillian. A third layer, below the Forest of Menos, is explored in the anime, but is only mentioned in the manga.

Hell: Hell is the destination of those who committed unforgivably evil acts during their lives in the human world. When a hollow whose mortal soul is too wicked to enter Soul Society is slain by a zanpakutō, the gates of hell (giant doors held by skeletons) appear and begin to open. A giant, laughing spiritual being with a blade spears the wicked spirit and drags it down into hell.

Bleach characters move from world to world by several means. Shinigami open passages between worlds by means of their zanpakutō. Butterflies created during soul burial, called hell butterflies (jigoku-chō?), make these routes safe. Human souls usually cross between planes only through birth into the human world or soul burial by shinigami. Living humans can also use special portals to move between worlds, but this is dangerous. While hollows are portrayed as able to move between planes at will by opening rifts in space, they usually remain in Hueco Mundo due to the risk of discovery in Soul Society or the human world.

Okay, we're almost done...
So, now that you've (hopefully) read all the previews information, you know that you can choose between these types of character: Human, Shinigami, Bount, Arrancar or Vizard.

There is also one last type of character that falls under the human category, but that i didn't mention before, because it wont be available... well unless someone can give me a very good explanation. This last type is the Quincy, they're basically humans who can sense and use spirit particles much like a Shinigami... but in a long battle, they were almost annihilated. Currently there's only 2 known Quincy that still live.

Appearance: The first thing noticeable about Sunako, is her extremely long hair. It’s deep black and falls evenly on her back, covering half of her face.
Her light skin contrasts with her red eyes, which in the midst of battle seem to gleam.
She wears a normal shihakushõ that tends to be one size above her own, tying it loosely, with the zanpakutõ hanging on the right side.
Personality: The best way to describe her is: She’s anti-social. Usually avoiding any contact with others, even when forced to go in jointed missions.
She lives for the thrill, fights for honor and doesn’t seem to fear death. Considering that the only fitting way for a warrior to depart is from a fight with a worthy adversary.
History: Sunaku was scouted into the academy after causing some ruckus on the 28th Rukongai. Originally meant to be disciplined, she showed a good appetence on following orders without questions or second thoughts, along with a considerable amount of reiatsu.
Missions after missions, she leaped the seats rapidly until her current one, with no intentions of stopping. Still it doesn’t seem to please her, or even bother her... as her only objective is the fights still to come.
Zanpakutou Name: Karasoto
Zapakutou Description: The zanpakutõ hilt is made of interwined black and white rope, that seems do be quite rough to the touch. The blade itself is slightly curved resembling a conventional katana on both size and shape.
Her zanpakutõ combines two spirits that would look like a white dove and a black raven if materialised. Respectively, the first one seems to be linked to her conscience and strong morals, while the second one is linked to her blood thirst.
Shikai Release Phrase: Heki Karasoto
Shikai Powers: The zanpakutõ splits into two blades, one white and another black. The black blade is slightly longer then the white one, focusing on attack speed and range, while her twin turns to be shorter and specialises on defence.
Bankai Name: Not achieved
Bankai Powers: N/A

Name: Iida Senichi
Division: 11th Squad
Rank: 8th Seat
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3
Weight: 187
Appearance: Could be considered by many, especially within the 11th Division of the Gotei, to be somewhat of a 'pretty boy'. Young and feminine in appearance. His hair, shoulder length and of a rather vibrant blue is most often designed into intricate spikes, exact in their positioning, it is even rumoured that they never move, even when laid down. His figure is one you could expect from a member of the 11th squad - strong, resilient, showing considerable power. Yet, despite that, his physique is of a compacted muscle mass, so still carries with it an illusion of femininity with its lithe shape. He carries off, in his clothes as his hair and smoothly shaven face, a certain feel of perfectionism, nothing out of place, all is pristine.
Personality: Much as with his appearance, his personality is that of a perfectionist. He speaks with perfect pronunciation, and shies away from any form of slang. Seemingly rather straight laced, he is actually a fun person to be around, and takes life with an easy going attitude. Even his fighting style, although exemplary and perfect, carries a feel almost of laziness. However, he is quite the adversary in combat; taking combat as seriously as he does his appearance
History: Senichi's history is not that would be noted in the books of time. He entered the academy, passed with what was only slightly above average grades, and entered into the only Squad that he had a desire to join. Upon joining the 11th Squad, he simply went about his duties, allowing life as a Shinigami to flow. He aims not for positions of power, nor for renown. Many don't even know of his existance.
Zanpakutou Name: Angelic Petal of Fire (Don't know the Japanese)
Zapakutou Description: A rather pretty looking, yet plain Katana. The scabbard a deep red hue, with golden flowers upon it, making perhaps half of the scabbard to be of a golden colour. The tsuba of the blade is fashioned as five rose petals protruding from the base of the blade. The hilt itself is covered in red cloth, and relatively plain. The blade also is of no real remark, yet is perfectly made. The spirit form of the Zanpakatou has yet to reveal itself to Senichi.
Shikai Release Phrase: Falling from the sky, unleash fire, my rose of heaven.
Shikai Powers: The Zanpakatou takes upon itself the form of a whip like weapon, tiny sections of the blade forming the whip. Around the whip are what appear to be much akin to rose petals, burning brightly, encircling the weapon with a high speed when it is used in offense. The many petals can be controlled by the mind of Senichi so can be used to extend the length of the whip, or even made into a separate whip; it is possible to make the petals move on their own, singularly, as they are razor sharp. The further from the zanpakatou the petals are, the weaker they become, and will actually disappear if too far away.
Bankai Name: Not yet attained
Bankai Powers: N/A

Name: Himura Sanosuke
Division:2nd
Rank: non seated officer
Gender:Male
Height:6’0”
Weight:190 lbs
Appearance: Moderate built, with short black hair with dark red eyes. His Soul Reaper outfit is sleeveless. He has a tattoo of a skull surrounded in blue fire on the top of his right hand.
Personality: Mostly calm, almost to the point that people around him seem to feed off it and become calm also. Only during combat that Sanosuke’s calm demeanor changes and he exhibits anger, mostly as a tool for focus.
History: Entered the Soul Reaper academy after spending almost 100 years in west Rukongai. It took him a great deal of effort to get in, often becoming angry and picking fights with people that came across him. His personality hadn't change until he got into the academy. Then he took the mantel of the calm person, but still harbored that anger within him which he used to get through the academy at times. He graduated with pretty decent marks and excelled in combat. His instructors thought that he was going to get placed into 11th company, but he was chosen for 2nd company.
Zanpakuto Name:Banryu
Zanpakuto Description: The Zanpakuto itself looks like a tachi (which is a little longer then a normal katana and is worn blade down) with everything about it black, with the exception of the blade. There is a demon’s face on the scabbard and on the hilt as well as on the blade itself.
Shikai Release Phrase:Lash out.
Shikai Powers:The Zanpakuto appearance changes from a katana, the blade straightens and becomes double-edged. Lines appear along the on either side, each set of lines meeting at the middle to form arrows. The base of the blade is met with a hollow half sphere for a guard. The handle itself changes from its traditional oval appearance to a circular one with a spike at the base. With a flick of the wrist, the blade loosens up and looks like a whip made up of small arrow blades all connected to each other and to the hilt.

OOC: My original post didn't sit right with me, so I rewrote some of it.

OOC: Some changes on my personal life took me away all the free time i had for RP's, as such i will have to take a break here as well... not sure when i will come back (if i will)
So if anyone feels like running this RP as a GM feel free to do so.

OOC: Well I'm sorry that you can't be here to enjoy the RP after all the hard work you put into preparing it. Since no one else has stepped up, I guess my buddy Sanjuro and I will take charge of this until you come back, which we really hope you do.

We're going to be adding a few things to mix it up a little bit. As none of our characters have Bankai or are even close to it (most likely), they'd never be able to stand up against the Arancar and the likes of whatever else is going on in the story. So Sanjuro and I came up with this little plot twist based on a theory we had. The Soul Society that is seen in the show/manga/movies/OVA will be sort of like the central hub of all the after life, with each continent having its own smaller Soul Society that all report to the one in the show. Each Soul Society however, will NOT have it's own 13 quads, merely an appointed representative or two from each squad that would act as leaders, with more lower ranked Shinigami under them.

So there's going to be 26 representatives of the 13 Protection Squads, which may be taken up by one of your characters if you so wish, and the rest of us (meaning I don't plan on taking one of the "leadership" seats) will be Shinigami that are stations at this particular Soul Society.

Hopefully, this will go well. But first, I'm going to request some input from you guys. Namely, does this sound like a good idea, ya know, something that would be fun. Also, if we do end up using said plan, which continent would our Soul Society represent. And finally, anything else that you might wish to add before this gets underway.

So unless I hear from someone in the next two or three days, this is the plan we'll be going with and this Rp will get underway a day or two after that. So within a week, we'll all be slaying some Hallows!

Name: Aymuharu "Katsuo" Ismau

Gender: Male

Height: 5'11

Weight: 155 lbs.

Appearance: With a slim body style, his body is very cut and toned due to his rigorous training. His hair is parted to the side and spiked, which is strawberry blonde. Both eyes are ocean blue and his skin is fair, but has a slight tan to it. He wears a black sleeveless, duster-style coat with a crimson red, longsleeve UnderArmour tucked in as a undershirt. He also wears a pair of baggy, black pants over a pair of black, red cross-laced skater shoes. His hands are covered by a pair of black leather gloves. Strapped to his back, his zanpaktou's scabbard which is black as well.

Personality: As most humans would call him, a arrogant and selfish bastard. He cares only for himself and his zanpaktou. He is however, very devoted to his ideals and tends to be anti-social around others, unless provoked.

History: His human life is a blur to him, but his Shimigami life remains deeply rooted in his mind. Once part of the Stealth Force, he left the Soul Society shortly after Yoruichi Shihouin, in search of his true purpose in the realms. Driven by the thought of being the strongest being, he commited the ultimate Shimigami taboo and attained Hollow powers. Upon this, he lost all connections with the Soul Society and Shimigami, which lead him to gain power for himself. After attaining the true power of his zanpaktou and Vizard powers, he disappeared and only to return to the world with a new pursuit of slaying Hollows and their brethern. After hearing the Hollows and the Arrancar overthrowing the Soul Society, he made the slaying of his enemies his main objective. Though he tries to not fight other Shimigami, due to being a former Shimigami himself, he will contend with the creatures to continue his pursuit of the creatures. However, he seems to have another objective on his mind, which is unknown to everyone but him.

Zanpakutou Name: Murasame.

Zapakutou Description: A massive nodachi style katana. The hilt is wrapped in black and red, a matching style to the blade being completely black. Also, a normal black, nodachi scabbard which held his blade.

Bankai Name: "Dark Harbinger"

Bankai Powers: Though he and his zanpaktuo retain their original forms, their speed and strength are highly enhanced to were he comes close to dealing close or more damage than Kenpachi Zaraki; or flash-stepping much close to or faster than Yoruichi Shihouin.

-"Heaven's Dark Harbinger Slicing Air", an attack which he will flash-step around his enemy with untrackable speed and will deal a series of heavy blows to their limbs, ultimately that would launch them into the air. After which, he would continue his barage of slicing towards the enemy's body, with the wind element as his allying force. As the wounds deepened, he would slam his feet into their chest and hurl them towards the earth with a bone-crushing BOOM!

-"The Fallen Angel's Ultimatum", a series of slice-n-dice manuevers onto his opponent. The cuts would make deep incisions that are filled with a numbing agent that would render his opponent unmoveable. Then, he would ask his opponent if they accept defeat or not? If they accept, he impales Murasame through their chest and draws the numbing from their system, though the impaling act doesn't kill the opponent. If they refuse, then he impales them through the back and injects a painful agent that makes them feel like they are burning from the inside out. If they continue to refuse, he injects more of the pain agent into their body till they admit defeat or pass out.

Vizard Release Phrase: "The Fallen Angel must Rise". His mask then engulfs his face entirely, which appears much like a disfigured hockey mask. The mask is unusually black and his eyes are a brilliant ruby color from underneath. A single, black wing with red feathers sprouts from his right shoulder.

Vizard Release Powers: With his full power in his grasp by his mask, his strength and speed are immensely enhanced. With the single wing on his shoulder, he enabled to fly quickly from place to place. His zanpaktou also, has grew in width and length, which enhances his stamina and spirit energy tenfold.

Ok everything checks out, just remember though your character is powerful they’re not invincible and have some kind of weakness. I really unsure what to do story wise. I don't want to have it tied to the manga or anime and the RP have some contradiction to what's already happened. I was thinking of having it in the future like 200+ years and having a new Hollow or some other threat causing havoc in the spirit and human world. Of course if you two have any ideas let me know.

@_@ mabye someone who knew Aizen continues after he is defeated by ichigo and he reforms the esparda and stuff and creates a new orb thingy...and like the son or daughter of ichigo has to fight and shit @_@ I DUNNO >_<

We need to start this up, it sounds like to be a good one.

i know we just need a plot now... or w.e BSX said.... >_<

Name:Akir Daemon
Division: 9th
Rank: 3rd Seat
Gender: male
Height: 6,1
Weight: 173

Appearance: Has dark yellow eyes. Body type is an above medium and somewhat atheletic build Wears a standard shinigami uniform with green streaks on the sleeves and torso. Has medium brown skin and long dreadlocks. A Zanpakutou is sheathed at his side along with a green and white cloth.

Personality: Has an extremely circumstantial personality. When introduced to a lot of new people can be very open and talkative, and playful. When around close friends and associates usually quiet and collected unless an interesting subject is brought up. This changes depending on the atmosphere, and can switch either way on the flipside. Is normally very polite and flirtatious with women. Often speaks in riddles in order to drag on or gain information from a conversation.

History: Akirs human life ended when he was in a car crash after driving home from a party with a group of friends. A shinigami sometimes later used soul burial on him, landing him directly into the Sereitei. This occured around the same time as a peak of experiemnts flourished within the 12th vision. A soul buried human had never been able to grow into a shinigami at any fast rate. A procedure which is involved combining the souls of rougue pluses into one medium. This was an experiment that was created to attempt to allow a being to gain more spiritual power without training. In earlier attempts the souls subjected to this collapse onto themselves and fade into nothing. However Akir's soul somehow survives the experiment and he is released with his memory of the insertion erased. The only remanent a tattoo on his arm that bears the kanji soul crush. A seal that holds back the extreme spiritual power granted to him. After completing the shinigami academy, he learns of his vast amount if reiastu on a scouting mission to the real world. Before even learning his zanpakutous name he is able to slay a gillain level hollow that has manifested in the real world. He learned that his will to live upon his death gave him an vast amount of untapped spiritual power. During the hueco mundo invasion Akir and a group of shinigami managed to escape into the real world after he unleashed soul crush for the first time in his life as a shinigami. After this occured he took on the guise of a college police intern hiding in plain sight with his fellow shinigami.

Zanpakutou Name: Mari Jai (Mary Jane)

Zapakutou Description: Is a medium length brown peace pipe in it's sealed state. When unleashed it becomes a normal sized but extremely curved katana with a green handle and yellow ribbon.

Shikai Release Phrase: Light the fire, bring the ganja smoke. Mari Jai!

Shikai Powers: Upon initial release the zanpakutou is ensnared in a small burst of smoke and flames. A green cannabis vine replaces the yellow ribbon.The the dull edge of the sword is covered with scattered smoldering spots. It is considered the mostm powerful mixed element zanpkuto in soul society. The smoke that spreads from the release spreads across the battle field and contains a potent amount of THC if inhaled the opponent will begin to feel the effects of being high or under the influence of marijuana. Significantly slowing their senses and movement down. The Shikai's attack is named "Embers in the trees" which causes the smoldering spots at the dull base to fill up and allow a powerful burst of flames to be fired upon swinging the sword. The second attack "Smoldering Ashes" is a more more concentrated flame that is fired from the handle in a shraight line. The effects of marijuana also have a reverse effect on Akir, increasing his speed, reaction time and five senses by 10%.

Bankai Name: Buddha Mari Jai (Buddha Mary Jane)

Bankai Powers: Upon calling bankai the vines of cannabis turn to ash and swirl around Akir as the swords spiritual pressure incases upon itself. His shinigami robe is replaced by a buddhist priest garb. The zanpatkutou itself becomes ash grey at the handle, and the blade becomes completely smoldering orange allowing it to damage anything it connects with upon shear contact. The attack power of his shikai attack increases to 10 times of its normal range, in addition to gaining more surface area. His reiatsu is concentrated allowing him to use at least two powerful kido spells. Finally the smoke from the marijuana allows him to create illusions to use against his opponent.
