Small group Bleach RP

[Everblight]

Well after failing in my attempt to find a suitable Bleach RP to quench my thirst for the Fandom I've resorted to trying to create my own to try and get what I'm looking for.

I haven't put great amount of thought into this because I'm not sure how popular Bleach is at the moment but my general thoughts would be that we have about six players. Three of the players will play the Gotei 13. Cannon characters might be allowed I'm not entirely sure yet but if they are they will most likely be NPC's anyway. But it gives those who want it most a chance to play as a Captain or Lieutenant within the Gotei 13 as it exists in our version. Now the premise I'm thinking of will have the other three players as Rogue Shinigami who will begin to attack the Gotei 13. Obviously to make a splash these three will have to be very powerful, equally capable as the Captains I would say. I don't yet have a reason for the attacks but I like the idea of having a fight that only utilises Shinigami. I'm more than willing to include Hollows at both small level and Arrancar level however I don't want any Vizards or Uber humans or Fullbrings or Quincy as most just really end up annoying me.

So this is more of an Int Check to test the water for who would actually be up for a Bleach RP to begin with. I'm open to plot suggestions and would love to hear some interest soon so I can get a gauge of how live this thing will be. Thank you for reading!

I'm interested in a Bleach RP, that's for sure. However, I think that 3v3 is a small cast that could end up making the RP monotonous... I mean, that leaves room for three fights before we have to fight the same opponent once more. I don't know, if you want a small cast I think we should all be on the same side. That's just my two cents.

EDIT: btw, I think I remember you from an RP before the site crash! Hi Everblight!

[Rilla]

While I won't be joining, good luck Blight!

[Hansa]

Aha, Rilla! It's been way too long man :)

[Red Fox]

Oh my god, Everblight and Hansa in one Bleach RP. I remember our RP from before - it was Hansa´s idea. We were the first Shinigami and we had to do everything from the beginning - establishing things like Zanpakuto, Kido, etc. It had so much promise - I really miss it.

Anyway, enough rambling. Count me in please.

[WolfsRose]

I'm curious enough to try this. I'm in too.

[Everblight]

Hansa - Hansa! 'ol buddy 'ol Pal. 'course I remember you! Also good point. If I can rely on everyone to do a good job with NPC's I'm happy with everyone being on the same side also, either that or we have one person as all the opponents, but they would have to be good.

Rilla - Thanks Rilla, your welcome to join if you ever feel the urge.

Red Fox - I didn't recognise you at first 'till I read your old guild name. Good to see you again!

Wolfsrose - Awesome thanks for the interest.

[Hagura]

I'll be here to join.

[Everblight]

Awesome. Also everyone can have input in the plot as I feel that is the most difficult part of a Bleach RP. I suggested that it's a war between the Gotei 13 and some Rogue Shinigami, if everyone is happy with that I think Hansa's idea of having us all on the same side would be the best idea.

Now, I think it would be best for us to take the side of the Rogue shinigami, we get Captain-level powers etc however it gives us an excuse for all of us having Original characters, AND it means we can use the cannon Gotei 13 without the conflicts of power-levels or who wants who. That does mean however that there might be chances for people to play as the cannon characters in a NPC fashion.

If anyone would like to take the post of being the NPC king and essentially taking the role of the Gotei 13 voice yourself, but you better have some skills!

If anyone has any problems or suggestions for the plot as I've just layed it out then also please voice your opinions! :) and of course thanks for the interest.

[IVIasterJay]

I'm in as well. I just hope I can remember all of the weird terms Bleach uses for everything.

[WolfsRose]

I'd rather play a rogue, but if you need somebody to RP for the whole Gotei 13, I'm up to the challenge.

[Derren Krenshaw]

If you still have openings, I'd be interested in this as well. Be fun to do something in the Bleach universe again.

[Hansa]

Nice to see people are interested!

I dont think we need an 'NPC king' though, it sounds really stressful and clumsy. Maybe everyone just plays their own opponents during the invasion? Although that may sound really monotonous and boring, I don't know a better option. I'm very unsure, though, anyone have experience with this sort of problem?

EDIT: btw, Hey Fox! It's fun to see my old pals are still alive and kicking ;)

[Red Fox]

I am glad to meet you too, again!

Also, the best idea my partially sleeping brain could create was that we could control the opponents of other players, let´s say I will control Hansa´s opponent, he will control Everblight´s opponent, etc. It is really just an idea, produced by a tired brain. But I will leave there before heading to bed.

[Everblight]

Yeah I'm not keen on us controlling our own opponents because we are essentially always fighting ourselves. My idea is the same as Fox's where we play each others opponents. However I want to stress that I would prefer us to do this RP for real storyline reasons, to make a really cool arc rather than treat it as the Arena and based solely around the fights. The fights will be pivotal and climactic but I want lots of twists and turns etc to make the story interesting to play out :)

Speaking of, who has ideas for the reasons we are invading. Currently I'm thinking that it would be based around something a long time ago when an extremely powerful Shinigami was imprisoned similarly to Aizen. And whilst the Gotei won't know it (we can plot hax like Aizen) our true motive is to free that person, but we feign that we are trying to make the kings key or something that would act as a red herring to the Gotei.

Gorou Nobunaga, the lost Shinigami

Almost a millennium ago when Captain Commander Yammamoto was bestowed the honor it was predicted he would go on to become one of the most powerful to have commanded the Gotei 13. It was predicted because at the time of his appointment, there was another. There was one man who, under muttered breath was deemed the most dangerous Shinigami that had possibly ever lived.
Even though they were not seen by the majority, his peculiar abilities were infamous. Rumors from his fellow captains when he was forced to show his Zanpakuto to the previous commander had trickled down the ranks until it became legend.

Commander Yamamoto's first act as the leader of the Gotei 13, was to officially strip the rank of the Shinigami Gorou Nobunaga and to imprison him for as long as is seen fit due to his powers being deemed to dangerous to not only the Gotei 13, but to the Seireitei and to Soul society itself. This came as a shock to many of the other captains but after years of rumors it was eventually accepted by the majority. The one minority who did not accept the verdict, was Nobunaga's squad and primarily his lieutenant. They fought the Captain commander in front of central 46 but they ruled in favor of Yamamoto, who was deemed by the Lieutenant as a power hungry fiend who was only after the mantle of most powerful Shinigami in soul society. Nobunaga was to be imprisoned, and he did not fight when his Zanpakuto was taken and he was escorted to the secret cell built just for him.

His squad however reacted differently, they fought tooth and nail to stop the verdict of Yamamoto and were pushed to the side for the supposed 'benefit' of soul society. A small contingent of highly seated Shinigami led by the Lieutenant disappeared in promise to return one day in vengeance.

Soooooooooooooo! this is a quick sketch of what I have in mind. We would take the part of the long lost squad members who after almost a millennium have grown in power almost exponentially, enough to combat the entire Gotei 13. Hows this sound everyone?

[CaughtInTheRiddle]

I'm more than keen! :) - if there's room for me?
I like the idea, us against the Gotei 13 - could be fun.

[Hagura]

I like this. I need to start watching bleach. Haha.

[Everblight]

So that sounds like 2 votes for my setting. Who else is up for it?

[Red Fox]

All of my yes for your setting. I am already starting to create a conception for my character. And I think I know what to base it upon.
