[Center][u][b]Opening Post[/b][/u] It was just another day in the Soul Society however this time it was a little different. Usually the skies are crystal clear with endless blue sky extending to the ends of the world but today only gray skies were apparent, the lighting was dull and depressing and the rain just seemed to never let up. This was always an odd change from the usual picture perfect blue skies but it was welcomed by some and others...not so much. It was windy and cold and that didn't get on with some people but others loved it...a perfect time for some trouble to happen and of course with this dull and depressing weather came a bounty of hollow dying to sink their teeth into the innocent souls that inhabit the Soul Society but the Shinigami were wise to this and showed up to do their job and exterminate the threat with maximum efficiency whilst taking as little casualties as possible but casualties in a job like this were inevitable. The Shinigami dealt with this seemingly minor threat well showing that they, although in little numbers, were skilled enough to take on many hollow at one time and prevail without suffering serious injury or wasting time. The hope and responsibility for this generation of Shinigami is high but with this high responsibility they in turn have become far more skilled than the previous generations and if this standard can be held as numbers grow then the Shinigami, Soul Society and Gotei 13's chance of balancing the worlds and defeating powerful enemies will be high but nothing is ever that easy now is it? Now the Shinigami after a hard days work return from all edges of the Soul Society to the capital and also the home to the Gotei 13...The Seireitei. The place in itself is a fortress and scattered among the land are the Barracks of many Squads which hold many Shinigami but some are different than the others...they stand out and show promise of becoming some of the greater and stronger Shinigami and this story follows them as they take on everything from everyday life to life or death battles...even romance is often apart of the scene but this is the life of many Shinigami...this is a story that is told not by one but by many...
