Bleach: Rage Against The Dying Of The Light

[Dex]

I just went ahead and posted the first big action scene if anyone wants to jump in and start showing off. After all, might as well let them eat cake.

[Tsukiakari]

K. I'm going to wait until someone attacks Jin/he attacks someone before I make my attack, like I told you via PM. We can work out some epic compilation post at that point. =D

Can you give us a little information on the hooded figures, i.e. how many, what are they, powers etc. If you do not want to divulge their identity just yet I understand. I just want to be able to create an enemy to converse with and need to know the set guidelines for their persona. For example are Jin and the hooded men using hollows, are the hooded men hollows, quincy, or something new alltogether. I think the reason its dragging along for the most part is that Jin is technically the only adversary right now. I kinda sucks to have everyone fighting the same character and waiting for the last person to finish their action so we can act accordingly. Most people are kinda stuck in limbo watching. If you need help creating a new enemy not in the current Bleach Universe I'm sure we could come up with something.

I was just planning on someone eventually attacking Jin and then the whole reveal of what they are would happen during that. Once the Captain's were there, rather than just on the way there, I was planning on Kayasaki recovering his sword and then revealing everything about the hooded figures and their connection to Jin. I thought if I used Yuushi as fodder it would have people appear there sooner. I wasn't planning a massive, 'each Captain has an opponent then go!' scenario, nor one where everyone fights Jin.

The stage of events were going to be as follows;

1. Captain's arrive
2. Tsukiakari can do her post
3. Enemy reveals itself
4. Gensaiken arrives
5. The enemies escape with Jin somewhere I'm not at liberty to say
6. Hunt for answers begins and plans to attack place that cannot be said.

If it makes it go faster, I'll edit my post and redo the scene.

[Vizcious]

You do not have to edit just do it however you planned. I'm probably just being impatient. If so I apologize. I was not thinking about a major battle at this time but more along the lines of a task to accomplish. It just seems like no one is posting and everyone is waiting for something to happen that they can insert themselves into.

[Dex]

well, I already edited. It'll probably be better in the long run this way.

[Tsukiakari]

Awesome. I'll be posting momentarily. I must say, Nura's strategy was really fun to write, even if it didn't exactly work.

[Tsukiakari]

Err... Hello? Did everyone quit this?

[A.C.]

I am still in this, just a little tongue tied as to what I should post, but some people may not want to read your post by the length of it and will either wait till it doesnt matter onr they figure out what the gist was by other people's posts.

[Dex]

Gist=
Rin attacked Kaysaki.
Caused huge explosion.
lost and fainted.
Now Mugen, Jin and the anyone-can-control Arrancar are left. Theoretically this allows for 3 simultaneous battles.

[Dex]

Okay, here's what I've narrowed it down to as the reasons people won't post:

1. They know they won't win in their first fight against the enemies and don't want to make their oh-so-powerful character look weak even for a second.
2. Too many characters made by the same people. Srsly, I let it get way out of hand.
3. I was more focused on a bleach rp, rather than doing a decent story and having a decent set up (Like starting the rp in the middle of a war, or great turmoil/strife) This lead to a bad vibe and intro.
4. I accepted characters I shouldn't of accepted, knowing full well what it would of lead to. I mean, what's the point in forcing them to post when I know it will just lead to 15 posts with two people just shrugging off each others attacks.
5. Not letting people create enemies.

I will reflect on the above an adjust accordingly, but I'm calling this rp officially dead in the water. Take it out to the desert and shoot it for all I care. Sorry to those of you who tried to make it work, and I appreciate your interest. I plan on starting a new Bleach rp, but with a much better premise and lead-in. Rather than just throwing something together at 2 am. As I am off school starting this week, I will have a lot of time to devote to it. If you've given up on me or the idea, whatever, don't sign up. Go about your life enjoying it to the fullest. However, if you are willing to try it again, you can just carry your old character over to the new one. Also, pick your favorite as I'm doing character cut-offs at 2 max, maybe even 1.

Good luck with all future endeavors, and I hope to see you around the forums... This all sounded way to official and its making me feel awkward. So I'll end it here.

Well, I wanted to post, but no one would interact with my character. It made me feel very left out. :<
