This is where everyone will start off, everyone will start unseated, no Shikai and only knowledge of the skills you learned in the Academy, this is to ensure that people not only start off on somewhat even ground but also start together. You will be sent out on missions, train, learn new things and work your way up the ranks as your character gets stronger! So yes Captain positions and transfers to other Squads more suitable for you will eventually be possible. The RP also takes place in modern day, so when going to places such as the Human World you'll be seeing what you see everyday in real life, just to clarify. This RP of course is set in an Alternate Universe and whilst it shares a lot of things in common with that of the Cannon Universe, a few things will be different. Such things are the lack of any of the original cast, so no Ichigo, no Rukia, no original Gotei 13 and so on. The focus is primarily on our Shinigami and their stories, the idea is that you are here to shape your own story for your character, I'll provide what I can but ultimately you're going to decide on the path your character takes. I will run things like arcs with maybe some things linking them together but these will come in later, for the start of the RP it's about developing your character and their relationships with other Shinigami. Should the RP only have a small amount of people then it's easy to include everyone in the arcs, however should it gain a larger amount, that's when it becomes difficult to include every person in said arcs. This is why you will be running somewhat mini arcs/missions for your character in the future that you can include others in. There will be no single main character, no hero who'll come in and save the day! None of that. I personally enjoy reading people's stories, especially in a Bleach Universe, It's interesting to see what people come up with. It takes all the surprise out of everything if I know [i]everything[/i] that's going to happen. So with that said I look forward to seeing what people can come up with[/indent] [hr][hr] [indent][indent][h2][u][color=aba000]⚔ яυℓεs ⚔[/color][/u][/h2][/indent][/indent] [Hider=яυℓεs][center]⚔ Respect the GMs - their word is law! ⚔ ⚔ No God-modding, Meta-gaming or anything of the sort ⚔ ⚔ No killing off other characters unless permission is given by both a GM and the player ⚔ ⚔ If you join then be active! If for whatever reason you're unable to post that day then let us know so we can skip your character. If you hold up an interaction for 48 hours, your character will be skipped over and removed from the scene, this is to ensure things keep moving at a good pace. ⚔ ⚔ There may be some gore but nothing too over the top yeh? ⚔ ⚔ You are free to make a few characters if that's really what you want but I suggest you make only one to start with and see if you can handle that first ⚔ ⚔ Characters, Future Shikai's, Bankai's, learning new skills MUST be approved first before attempting to use or even learn them in the RP ⚔ ⚔ If you create trouble in the OOC or even IC then you can and will be banned without warning, so try behave ⚔ ⚔ Although not so much a rule however if you are in line for a promotion to Lieutenant or Captain position you will have to take a test to make sure you're fit for the position...except Squad 11...you challenge the Lieutenant and Captain in a fight for that position⚔ ⚔ More rules will likely be added on later on so check back every now and then! If you've read the rules then leave "Shunpo" at the bottom of your CS ⚔ [/center][/hider] [hr][hr] [indent][indent][h2][u][color=8dc73f]⚔ q & α ⚔[/color][/u][/h2][/indent][/indent] [Hider=q & α][center] [b]Q:[/b] So do we have to always start fresh out the Academy? [b]A:[/b] [color=8dc73f]No. Only for the early days of the RP, as people's characters reach the Lieutenant and Captain positions, any new people that may join will be able to join in directly into a seated position within a Squad of their choosing with a Shikai. This is so they aren't left lagging drastically behind others. [/color] [b]Q:[/b] So how will we go about be promoted up the ranks? [b]A:[/b] [color=8dc73f]I'll be playing a NPC Captain/Lieutenant and depending on your performance on missions, you'll be likely promoted. [/color] [b]Q:[/b] How do I know how strong my Shinigami is? [b]A:[/b] [color=8dc73f]Your rank will reflect your strength. A 10th Seat may be stronger than the 11th but not by much.[/color] [b]Q:[/b] Okay...so...I'm not interesting in being a Shinigami, can I be a hollow? A Quincy maybe? [b]A:[/b] [color=8dc73f]At the start? No. Maybe only as an NPC at best. I'm not doing this to be harsh but unless we got like 15+ people in the RP you'd be RPing alone a lot as a hollow and that's just not fun and getting 15+ people is far-fetched.[/color] [b]Q:[/b] So in the future I could make a hollow or quincy? [b]A:[/b] [color=8dc73f]Very likely. Arrancar do not exist as of the start of this RP and so eventually and some point (Spoiler) they'll come into the RP since they're quite popular. Quincy also! however only traditional Quincy...sorry for any unlikely fans of the 1000 year blood war arc but I am not about to allow mock Shinigami. [/color] [b]Q:[/b] How will I learn skills? [b]A:[/b] [color=8dc73f]I will be doing my utmost best to rank every skill according to a rank I feel they're fit to be learned at, so once you achieve the rank required you can start learning the skill. This will be shown in the IC as your character training to learn this skill, it only needs to be one post detailing them learning the skill.[/color] [b]Q:[/b] So on the topic of skills can we create our own? [b]A:[/b] [color=8dc73f]Yes! I love seeing this kind of stuff however they'll have to be submitted to myself (Kurisa) and approved. However it goes without saying...you wont be creating Hado #101 at an unseated level, that's obviously a Captain and Kido masters level type of thing. [/color] [b]Q:[/b] Okay so how do we tell how good our mastery is in an area and is there a limit to how many areas we can master? [b]A:[/b] [color=8dc73f]Well your skills will pretty much speak for themselves there. If you only have unseated skills then you're at an unseated level, you have seated skills in kido and unseated skills in Zanjutsu then you're seated level in Kido and unseated in Zanjutsu...see where I'm going with this? I must mention however that once you reach Captain rank you can only gain Captain level skills in three area's and so one will be left with Lieutenant level skills.[/color] [b]Q:[/b] Will there be a limit to how many people can join the RP [b]A:[/b] [color=8dc73f]Nope...Bleach is a big Universe...sooo the more the better! [/color] [b]Q:[/b] Why do you want people posting so fast? [b]A:[/b] [color=8dc73f]Honestly...maybe it's just me but I feel that when an RP moves slow and posts barely come out every 24-48 hours, I begin to lose interest. It simply comes down to the fact that my character will likely take months to develop to the point I want them to and when I want to go through a bunch of plans etc. I have for them...months of waiting just doesn't do it. The RP usually dies by then or people just begin to get lazy. In my experience fast posting RP's pay off well, They keep you engaged and active, that's why I've been straight up about things and not tried to lure people in with smoke and mirrors. Only thing is with fast posting RP's is that you have to be invested but it's usually worthwhile and if not...well you tried at least.[/color] [b]Q:[/b] What if I get kinda busy with IRL stuff and can't post so fast? [b]A:[/b] [color=8dc73f]Well...let us know. If you want to still post but can't post as fast as usual for a little then inform us and we will be more than understanding. This however will be a thing more to cover you for a week or two. After that you may just have to sit some important stuff out for a little[/color] [b]Q:[/b] Can you think of anymore Questions? [b]A:[/b][color=8dc73f] Nope...minds gone blank![/color] :lol [b]Q:[/b] [b]A:[/b][/center][/hider] [hr][hr] [indent][indent][h2][u][color=0072bc]⚔ sкιℓℓs ⚔[/color][/u][/h2][/indent][/indent] [Hider=sкιℓℓs][center] Refer to the Bleach Wiki for what each individual skill does [url=http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Kid%C5%8D#Bakud%C5%8D%20Spells]Kido[/url] [url=http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Zanjutsu]Zanjutsu[/url] [url=http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Hakuda]Hakuda[/url] [url=http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Hoh%C5%8D]Hoho[/url] 🔥 [u][b]кι∂σ[/b][/u] 🔥 Kido - is a form of Shinigami combat based on advanced spells.
