[b]Tatsua Aiisen, Raineh Daze[/b] I simply employ this to try and make things a bit smoother. I would set it as being the same timeline but simply with different characters and in a alternate universe, however I wanted to give everyone the chance to take on a role they may have wanted to take on, be it the captain, sub shinigami, hollow or otherwise. Also, it allows other characters to assimilate a blood line of a canon character into their own if they wish...ie son of Ichigo or daughter of chad. I'm open to suggestion however as any ideas to help maintain a healthy thread are welcomed.
