[@Kurisa]I never said the head captain is weak. There has never been any shinigami, as far as our knowledge of the canon is concerned, that has not been through the academy. Besides Yamamoto, who created the academy itself. However, we saw that Yamamoto is still 'mortal'. So, the fact that you're making it sound like your HC is this invincible figure that has never needed assistance is not sitting right with me. Now, I'm not trying to disregard the background you have set for this RP. This is your game and what you say can go. My point is this. I created my character with the idea of him being a descendant of a long line of shinigamis. That is not too far-fetched. So, with that fact in mind, the patriarch of that long line of shinigamis is bound to be some sort of OP character. Anime/Manga logic dictates that. So, I don't plan on ever have my old Kuroda appear in the SS. According to my personal version of the story, he served in Squad Zero and has completely retired from all of that. Him and his sword spirit, along with the older members of the family, lives peacefully in the Rukongai. I merely put that 'letter' into my post because I thought it'd be kind of funny. To me, it shows that even the HC has a past. That he has gone through rigorous training just like the rest of the lot. It is there solely for shits and giggles. Like I said, I don't plan on ever having my old Kuroda appear in the story unless its by your request for some reason. I can't see why you would need a super old, super OP, character to appear anyways.
