There was a harsh chuckle, the voice rugged, as if the sound had been clawing its way from the man's throat and over the years the damage had piled up. [color=0076a3][i]“You picked an awful time to look back on past mistakes. Then again,”[/i][/color] the raspy-voiced man said with pause, causing the shinigami to swallow hard, the blade nicking his throat and drawing blood, which trickled down his neck, sending shivers down his spine. [color=0076a3][i]“...the moments before Death are always rather...nostalgia inducing,”[/i][/color] the figure smiled, but the look was private, meaning little to anyone but him. The shinigami, Taikou, closed his eyes and exhaled, before drawing another breath in. [color=8882be][b]“I guess this is it,”[/b][/color] he said. The man chuckled again, [color=0076a3][i]“No, not quite,”[/i][/color] and before Taikou could react, the villain had shifted the angle of his blade and stabbed him through the chest, before moving it free and kicking him from the ledge. As he plummeted through the air, a literally stabbing and throbbing pain coursing through his chest, he found his vision tunneling and at the end of it he saw the man. Behind the rugged figure was only a vast blue, and it was not the sky. As that thought entered his mind, he found the rest of his awareness slipping away, as the wind embraced him and he fell, picking up speed rapidly. He knew he could not survive the fall, so he gave in, and so his eyes closed...and his awareness put itself to rest, before the harsh world even could. One might have said that Taikou had died before he'd even hit the ground, but they would have been wrong. Very very wrong.[/center][hr][hr][h2][b][i][color=#8882be][center]Premise[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h2][hr] It happened fast, too fast, the fall of the Captains of old, of the Gotei Thirteen as it was once known. Like dominoes lined up in a row they were toppled, each following the last. You could have called it a rebellion, but a coup would have been more apt—though a restructuring of government would have been even more so. Like Taikou, the last of the captains to fall, they had not seen it coming for when threats came to mind, it was destruction conceptualized. The tearing down of everything, to rebuild something entirely different, but alas, what fate befell them had not taken such a form. In fact, though they had been shamed and cast afar, many of those who had once held sway over the great Seireitei were left alive to fight another day if they so chose. Some did...and some did so again when they were laid low once more, and it those who so foolishly charged forth a second time, well, their comrades have yet to hear word of them, leaving them unaware as to the exact nature of their disappearance. For the Captains, and those seated officers who would not bow to their aggressors, it has lead them to dwell in the world of the living where many stew in their shame and anger, while others merely accept their fate. However, more importantly, are those who were [i]changed[/i] by their engagements with the enemy, those who learned the truth, or at least fragments of it. Those who learned that much of what they had been taught to believe about the world, including even the weapons they wielded, had been elaborate and clever lies. Now with their pride shattered, their home far away, and even their zanpakuto growing distant, it is these shinigami who must strive to discover meaning in their new lives, and to cast aside the shackles of the past, be they the shame of a battle lost, or even the tradition and practices of the old world. The foundation on which they once stood must be rebuilt and so there is work to be done for those with the resolve to do it. So the question is, will you accept your fate as a fallen warrior brought to shame, or will you rise above the adversity of circumstance and reclaim your rightful place in the Court of Pure Souls?[hr][center][url=https://discord.gg/Z8YdWX5]Discord[/url] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/156853-bleach-souls-adrift/ooc]Interest Check - C[/url] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/156854-bleach-souls-adrift/ooc]Interest Check - A[/url][/center] [hr][center][h2][b][i][color=#2B472E]Overview[/color][/i][/b][/h2][hr][/center] Welcome to Bleach: Souls Adrift, a RP with extended Bleach lore, which possesses an overarching plot, but will focus on smaller arcs more often than not. As the title hints, your characters will be, in large part, outcasts. You are all members of the “Old Gotei,” as it were, cast down from your domain by a group of shinigami which appeared to come as if from nowhere, their exact motives unsure, and the means used to defeat your ilk an enigma. Exiled from the Seireiti, the Old Gotei has been forced into the world of the living. You and your allies are presented with a dangerous situation, as shinigami patrols from the New Gotei are significantly reduced, resulting in drastically increased hollow activity in the world. Many, driven to carry out their duty as shinigami despite their new circumstances, have spread out across the world, acting as units to deal with the hollow threat. All the while the enigmatic shinigami remain in the Seireitei, having deprived you of a place to belong. While many have scattered, a select few—those once of a higher rank than their peers—have gathered in a familiar place, Karakura town intending to find a way to reclaim what was once theirs. Your are a member of this group of like-minded shinigami and as your scattered comrades you must both handle the hollow threat and find means with which to surmount the obstacles impeding your entrance into the Court of Pure Souls. Among these obstacles are the difficulties of opening—let alone traversing—the dangai, insufficient intel and of course strength, or rather a lack thereof. With the odds stacked against you can you reclaim your rightful place in the world? [hider=Additional Info]It's been about 4 years since everyone was kicked from the Seireitei. I'd like to say that some of the "Old gotei," surrendered and basically consented to being under the supervision and jurisdiction of the "New Gotei," shinigami. The majority of the shinigami who did get kicked out were the higher ranked ones (from 10th seat upwards, more or less. Note that there are 20 seated officers in any given division (including Lieutenant and Captain). About a year after ya'll were exiled, I'd say 60-70% of that group spread out to deal with the increase in hollow activity in the world of the living. This group is the 30% left after some of its members tried to attack the Seireitei again to reclaim it (twice) and failed, not returning. A total of 7 Captains(including the Captain Commander) are confirmed to be alive, one confirmed dead, and the rest MIA, but not confirmed dead. This group will be composed of Five Captains. One will be the Captain Commander, two are Veterans, two are normal captains. There are four lieutenants in our group, with those outside of it, barring two of them who are MIA, spread out across the world of the living managing the other shinigami. Thee rest will be individuals from 3rd seat to 6th seat in former rank. So yeah, there's that. This group has only been assembled for a few months, let's just say 4 months. [hider=Tl;dr][b]Timeline:[/b] >Got exiled 4 years ago. >1 year after exile most shinigami split away and spread over the world of the living. >4 months ago our current group started gathering and training/trying to figure out how to reclaim the Seireitei.

Fade to black will be applicable to sexual situations, but don't expect situations including drugs, gore, or some taboo subjects to garner the same treatment. This is not to say that any of the above will be done in excess, just that they may be done. [*]Combat will be handled on a case-by-case basis, with the GMs proctoring in case issues or disagreements arise. Should you want to script your fight, let the GMs, and your partner(s) know. Make sure all parties are in agreement. A 'scripted fight,' is one wherein the victor is decided before hand. [*]Burning house rule--if you're gone too long and holding things up, expect your character to either be moved aside quietly, or killed to further plot. To avoid the burning house rule, keep us updated, a hiatus can be arranged. [*]If a problem arises for a player in regards to the GM and they feel uncomfortable bringing it up. Go to the other GM for advice. Don't worry, we're perfectly reasonable people and nine times out of ten we'll work through it with you. [*]The GMs have final say on all matters--this does not mean that I cannot be swayed or convinced. Still, if something must be resolved, we will resolve it and that'll be the end of the discussion. [*]Should you lack inspiration or enough material to post, tell someone. Communicate. Talk to your GMs. Worst case scenario, we'll just move your character aside till you can post again. [*]While you may expand on or modify the base format of the character sheet, make sure all necessary sections are included. [*]No OOC drama. Keep it to PMs, and hopefully keep it non-existent. If needed contact a GM for problem resolution. [*]Only accepted characters go in the character tab. [*]Post your Character Sheet in the OOC for review. [*]Standard Guild rules apply. [*]IC swearing will occur. [/list] [hr][hr][h2][b][i][color=#0076a3][center]What to Expect[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h2][hr] [list] [*]Interactions with at least semi-realistic cause and effect. If you are tortured or have your arm cut off, expect to have trauma and difficulties going forwards. [*]A GM who is willing to work with you, hear you out, but not break his back to suit your every need. [*]Good communication be it player to player, GM to GM, or GM to player. [*]Multiple plotlines if possible. [*]Some Taboo Subjects. [*]Collaboration posts. [*]Some dark themes. [*]Some slice of life. [*]Plenty of combat.

[hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=#000000][center]Character Details[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3][hr] [hider=Explanation]For this RP, I will be utilizing a stat system. However, the RP will not include dice rolls and the stats will not be intrusive to creativity and combat. They will be a guidepost by which to navigate more than anything else. When you submit a character, remove the system from the “General Aptitude,” section of your CS and instead send a PM to the GM. I will do pretty much all of the number crunching so that you don't have to. I will do this through Guild PM and/or Discord, asking questions to get an idea for how you want your character's skillset. Before sending this PM, you would do well to fill out your characters “Fighting Style,” section. Make sure to touch on all the mentioned points. Additionally, while you are not at all required to use the below character sheet, given that it can be a bit finicky code-wise. Nonetheless, you are required to have all the information found in it. As a note, the “Relationship,” section can be used for two purposes. The first being to give me individuals/NPCs that I can integrate to assist in a given character's personal arc, and second to show your character's relationships with the other members of the “Old gotei.” The second is required, whereas the first is optional. For age, it is a 20:1 ration. Every 20 years is 1 year of physical aging to a shinigami. If they had a human life, make sure to consider at what age they died and continue from there. <[u][b]Optional Bits[/b][/u]> >Likes/Dislikes. >Neutral Defining Traits. >Equipment section, provided you have no Equipment. [hider=Stat System]The actual system aside, which you are not required to learn in the least, you do need to know how to interpret it. However, if you do want to learn, I do have an easy way to teach it. Just ask, it's not really that bad--I'd know, after all, I hate math, but still like this. Anyways, moving on. Basically there are Talents and Skills. Talents are the traits you are assigned a static amount of points for based on your rank/power level. You distribute these Talent points across the five talents (Reiryoku, Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Kido, and Hoho). Each of these Talents possesses a set of Skills. Reiryoku/Kido have two skills each; Zanjutsu/Hakuda have three each; and Hoho has one. All of these are graded on a scale from 0-5, with 0 being the least and 5 the most. Each of these numbers is assigned a word to denote its rough meaning. Generally a 0 means you have not learned anything in the given category, whereas a 5 denotes a legendary mastery, which is beyond the scope of normal individuals. While the words vary slightly depending on the given stat, they are roughly the same at the end of the day. Use your common sense. [hider=Shinigami Stats]Talents (T): The first of each grouping. Those [B]Bolded[/B]. Skills (s): Those following the Talents. Those [i]Italicized.[/i] [b]Reiryoku:[/b] "Spiritual Power" is how much energy has been stored by the user. It also describes their Stamina and Willpower. [i]Reiatsu:[/i] "Spiritual Pressure" is the density the user can exert their Reiryoku (in spite of the actual level of stored Reiryoku). It describes the skillful use of energy. Additionally, this stat describes the protective and offensive application of one's Reiatsu. It can be used against incoming attacks to lessen them, or to stun opponents. Defensively it is only compared against the incoming attack stat. [i]Alignment:[/i] Self Mastery. Dictates how well you know yourself and if you are aware of and at peace with your flaws/weaknesses...or not. [b]Zanjutsu:[/b] Simply the application of the sword. It also indicates the skill one has in wielding any other weapon. [i]Offense:[/i] This only applies to the more aggressive tactics of applying Zanjutsu. It indicates finesse and skill in applying one's weapon. [i]Defense:[/i] This only applies to the more passive tactics of applying Zanjutsu. It indicates the ability to deflect, block, parry, and counter strikes with one's weapon. [i]Resonance:[/i] Strength of Shinigami-Zanpakuto bond. Dictates if you have shikai or bankai and whether they are mastered or not. [b]Hakuda:[/b] Simply the application of the body. It also indicates the skill one has in any martial art. [i]Offense:[/i] This only applies to the more aggressive tactics of applying Hakuda. It indicates finesse and skill in applying one's body. [i]Defense:[/i] This only applies to the more passive tactics of applying Hakuda. It indicates the ability to deflect, block, and counter strikes with one's body. [i]Physical strength:[/i] Dictates general physical strength. Description can define whether or not it is focused on Zanjutsu or Hakuda. [b]Kido:[/b] The ability to successfully execute Hado and Bakuda spells. The higher the level, the higher chance of success and the greater ability to cast powerful spells. [i]Kido Power:[/i] The stability and resilience of spells depends on the control and even the type of Reiryoku one has. Hindrances can be overcome through diligence. [i]Perception:[/i] This indicates one's awareness of their surroundings, their ability to pick up on information via either instinct or from training. The two highest ratings can allow special perceptual abilities. [b]Hoho:[/b] Purely the application of Shunpo and other similar abilities. It also indicates one's reflexes and ability to react. [i]Mobility:[/i] This describes one's physical speed, agility, and flexibility overall. [i]Resilience:[/i] One's ability to continue fighting or recover after both physical and/or psychological attacks. Durability/Mental fortitude.

Most of them do not have weapons or martial techniques, instead using extensions of their own body and their own natural abilities to get the job done. A Hollow might not have Shunpo for example, but bear in mind that Shunpo is merely a technique to refine efficiency in movement rather than making the user faster than they already are. A Hollow will need to take more steps to cover the same amount of distance, but will do so in the same amount of time. The Reiatsu of a Hollow is considerably different from that of most other beings, being inherently inimical and toxic to varying degrees, allowing for greater applications in the use of Reiatsu than might otherwise be possible. Thus, the key distinctions between Hollows and Shinigami is that Hollows, in place of Zanpakutō and tools, typically use their own Reiatsu as a weapon - though most will prefer, instinctively, to fight using their bodies in a manner not dissimilar from Hakuda (although not as refined or formalized). In place of various artforms and techniques like Kido and Shikai, Hollows have a diverse array of natural powers to draw upon. In essence, a Hollow is a creature that fights by itself, using only its own native ability and powers rather than relying upon anything else. In particular regards to their use of Reiatsu, the offensive capabilities available to a Hollow generally mirror those available to a Shinigami, with the added properties of their innate toxicity and the ability to draw in and feed upon others' Reiatsu in addition to ambient Reishi. Like with Zanpakutō, a Hollow's use of their Reiatsu as a weapon is augmented by their Reiryoku and Reiatsu. Just as a Shinigami with an incredulously overpowered Zanpakutō might lose because they might have very little Reiatsu to fuel and reinforce their weapon with, so too might a Hollow with the most obscenely toxic and poisonous Reiatsu lose because the amount, density, and pressure of their Reiatsu was too low. You can still get pretty far with a high score in just one and not the other, but generally speaking it is usually best to balance and optimize for the best results (keep in mind, all this is also true when applied to a Shinigami's use of Hakuda as well as a Hollow's use of their natural form). Hollow Rankings: Hollow -5 Greater Hollow - 7 Emergent Menos - 9 Gillian - 11 Greater Gillian - 13 Adjuchas - 15 Greater Adjuchas - 17 Vasto Lorde - 19 Assign a score between 0 and 5 for each Talent and Skill below. Poor (0) - Unremarkable (1) - Average (2) - Impressive (3) - Incredible (4) - Legendary (5) [u][b]Reiryoku:[/b][/u] Spiritual power that emanates from the soul, held within the body. Beings with immense Reiryoku tend to have more stamina and endurance than others, though these remain separate aspects. A being can have immense Reiryoku but be unable to utilize it effectively, and so this score only describes the max potential Reiryoku that can be stored in the body - at least at present. [indent][u][i]Reiatsu:[/i][/u] Reiryoku emitted from or else used by the body. This score describes not only how much Reiatsu is present, but also its density and the pressure it exerts on the physical world. [u][i]Integrity:[/i][/u] Spiritual power that reinforces the body and enables it to sustain injury and resist pain. This score describes how much of a beating you can take, as well as how badly affected you are by severe injuries.[/indent] [u][b]Mask:[/b][/u] When a Plus turns into a Hollow, its heart transforms into a protective shell in order to protect the raw, unfettered instinct that remains - thus, the mask of a Hollow is a manifestation of their Earthly desires and despair after death, portraying the zeitgeist that bound them to the world. This score describes the severity of a Hollow's transformation, and thus how potentially caustic and twisted their spiritual power is. [indent][u][i]Hunger:[/i][/u] All hollows possess an eternal and insatiable hunger to devour other souls in order to fill the void left behind in the absence of their heart. This hunger manifests itself through a Hollow's passive draw and consumption of ambient Reishi, as well as how inimical their Reiatsu is to that of other spiritual beings. This score describes how aggressively and effectively a Hollow can apply its reiatsu as a weapon. [u][i]Rigidity:[/i][/u] Not every mask is formed equally. Some are brittle and fragile, and serve as critical weak points - while others are durable and resilient, and are the strongest part of a Hollow's body. The strength of the mask is distinct from the strength of the body, and this score describes how much damage a Hollow's mask can take before cracking or breaking. Most instances of a mask breaking leads to the Hollow dissipating and their soul returning to the cycle of reincarnation, which is generally agreed to be bad for some reason. [u][i]Instinct:[/i][/u] In the absence of a heart, Hollows are beings of pure, unfettered instinct - instinct that drives both their insatiable hunger, fuels their despair, and acts as the force that twists and augments their Reiatsu. This score describes just how toxic, inimical, and downright awful a Hollow's Reiatsu is to both living and spiritual beings.[/indent] [u][b]Form:[/b][/u] Many Hollows use their own bodies to fight, and this score describes the application of the body, much like with Hakuda. It describes a general proficiency in melee combat and the use of one's natural form. [indent][u][i]Offense:[/i][/u] Aggressive tactics, techniques, and methodology. Lunging, takedowns, throws, the finesse and skill thereof. [u][i]Defense:[/i][/u] Defensive tactics, techniques, and methodology. Deflection, evasion, redirection, blocking, and tanking. [u][i]Physical Strength:[/i][/u] The raw power and force available to a Hollow's body.[/indent] [b][u]Power:[/u][/b] All Hollows have common, native powers beyond that of ordinary spiritual beings. From the basic ability to summon a Garganta to the dreaded Cero to completely infuriating high-speed regeneration, this score describes the efficacy of those natural abilities. [indent][u][i]Hollow Power:[/i][/u] The overall coherence, stability, and efficacy of available abilities regardless of their actual power. [u][i]Perception[/i][/u]: A Hollow's innate ability to sense living and spiritual beings, to hunt them, to stalk them, and overall awareness in general.[/indent] [u][b]Speed:[/b][/u] This describes not only how swiftly a Hollow can cover a certain distance, but also their reflexes. [indent][u][i]Agility:[/i][/u] How maneuverable a Hollow is overall in relation to its top-speed. Just because you can run as fast as a Shinigami can Shunpo does not necessarily mean you can run up walls and pull off quadruple corkscrew jumps like they might be able to, after all. [i][u]Biorythm:[/u][/i] The relative speed of metabolic functions and physiological response, distinct from pure muscle and nerve reflex. A better biorythm allows one to better resist or else fight off toxins, adapt more quickly and efficiency to severe damage, and even to replenish depleted Reiryoku more quickly.[/indent] [hider=Stat Sheet][code][u][b]Reiryoku:[/b][/u] [indent][u][i]Reiatsu:[/i][/u] [/indent] [u][b]Mask:[/b][/u] [indent][u][i]Hunger:[/i][/u] [u][i]Rigidity:[/i][/u] [u][i]Instinct:[/i][/u] [/indent] [u][b]Form:[/b][/u] [indent][u][i]Offense:[/i][/u] [u][i]Defense:[/i][/u] [u][i]Physical Strength:[/i][/u] [/indent] [b][u]Power:[/u][/b] [indent][u][i]Hollow Power:[/i][/u] [u][i]Perception[/i][/u]: [/indent] [u][b]Speed:[/b][/u] [indent][u][i]Agility:[/i][/u] [i][u]Biorythm:[/u][/i] [/indent][/code][/hider][/hider] [hider=Rules]There may only be one 5 among the Talents as a whole. If there is a 5, a 0 must also be present among the Talents. These rules do not apply to the Skills. Skill points follow these equations: A Talent with 3 Skills (Zanjutsu and Hakuda)/(Mask and Form): S=2(T) A Talent with 2 Skills (Reiryoku, Kido, and Hoho)/(Reiryoku, Power, and Speed): S=T+(T/2) *rounded up Skills are then added together for a pool of Skill Points which can then be distributed among all skills.
