Pokémon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

@LegionPothIX No, I completely understand. You focus on you. I hope everything's not too bad.

Pokémon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

@c3p-0h sorry about that...

I'll say hold off. I'm going to incorporate haven into Keoni's

Pokémon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

@Regitnui I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do. I'm going to start writing it up now.

@Utrax I have yours written. Just gotta get it typed up.

So ya'll should have a post up from me when you get up tomorrow. ^^
...Save @Kymera and @LegionPothIX :/

Pokémon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

@Regitnui I don't know exactly how I want to implement the story for you. So, just in case, how much influence am I allowed over Asuna?

Pokémon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

@Regitnui@Utrax
I'm going to try to get up a post either today or tomorrow. Just wanted to know if Keoni's post was all done before I begin.

And I apologize to everyone for being away for so long. Just started the new job now, but I've gotta get used to getting into the swing of things. Second shift is an adjustment.

Pokémon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

Still working on transitions, ya'll. Sorry I can't be more on top of everything right now. I promise that's going to change in a couple weeks. ^^

Pokémon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

So, I'd first like to apologize for being so absent lately.

Life's been real bad for me and it's come to a head until today. I've been struggling to keep my head just above water, but still almost drowning. This was a project I started at the beginning of winter and I'm so thankful it's survived this long. I hope we continue this adventure together for even longer.

However, I got news today that's going to make some big changes in my life, and for the better. My availability will not change, however. In fact, I'll likely be more active (thanks to a better outlook on life). For a few more days, though, I'm going to be focusing on getting this stage in my life set up so I can start the successful future I've always dreamed of.

So just know I'm not neglecting you. I've been neglecting myself. I'll keep you all updated and I hope to get this thing really going again. I still have big plans for all the fodder characters you've all brought to this RP.

And I'd like to take the time to express how truly grateful I am to have played with all of you. You've all been one of the very few things that bring me excitement and satisfaction. It's truly been a life saver to have this one RP keep me going and looking forward to the next day.

Thank you. ^^

Bleach: The Hollowing

Bleach: The Hollowing

Plot

An increase in Hollows usually doesn't call for the increase in recruiting Shinigami. However, when they open a Garganta into the Rukongai directly and devastate the upper districts to take partial control of the lower districts, something must be done. Not only have the Hollow declared full-out war against the Gotei 13, but they are, ultimately, winning. With their own world as the battlefield, the enemy can lay siege to the Jurechi, currently Galway, Ireland, without consequence.

Technology has come and gone in the World of the Living. With collapses of governments due to insufficient resources, many nations have claimed independence and keep themselves in neutrality. Eerily enough, the rest of the world has followed suit, it seems, and even the most developed nations have reverted back to subsistence farming. It's the most peaceful, and silent, the world has ever been. Still, education is a privilege and one that is not given out freely, as nations in the past have done. It is not completely inaccessible for most children, but the work on the farms outweighs that of education. For a full mind does not quench thirst or stave off hunger. Regardless of the ceaseless attacks upon Galway, they seem to flourish in this environment as they have for hundreds of years. Quincies and Full Bringers band together to keep their lands purged of the dangers the Hollows create. Lore has been born to prevent the creation of Hollows and to keep them away.

Within the Seireitei, prospective Shinigami are, quite literally, hunted for efforts against Hollows. Many of the Captains, having been in such a position for too long, some might say, are rightfully displeased with this almost superfluous effort against the Hollow and their leaders, the fabled Vasto Lordes. Some believe in working for quality versus quantity while others avidly enforce the search for greater numbers within the ranks of Shinigami. With a civil war in their back yard and the need to keep safe their greatest hope, the upper districts, numbers are doing much more than holding back the Hollows for now, it seems. The 12th Division is looking for ways to secretly invade Las Oscuridades, the base of the Vasto Lordes. So far, the current Senkaimon are unable to penetrate the barrier, unlike the Garganta into the Seireitei.

The Hollow are stretched thin in numbers, though their control over the flow of battle remains intact. The Gotei 13 and the World of the Living would not know of lessening numbers, however, and this facade of an unending wave of Hollowed spirits remains strong. The goals of the Hollow aren't clear to the other two dimensions and is still hazy even among the more sentient Hollow who work as a council for themselves in spite of the exiled Lord of Hueco Mundo, of whom has remained hidden for millenia and is only rumored about among those in power. More rumors suggest that this Lord is against the attacks on the Rukongai and the World of the Living due to the imbalance it could create. However, a counter argument continues that with the increasing number of Shinigami and the rate at which Hollows are sealed that the balance remains stagnant. This is purely in the hands of the Shinigami to keep this balance, as would be regardless. Perhaps a collective stubbornness blinds them.

Setting

The Canon of this RP does not follow the Manga/Anime. It will be treated as an Alternate Universe. I don't want to see canon characters or the using of canon names/ideas to bring into this RP. Renaming canon characters/ideas will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

The focus of this RP will be upon the Captains and their Lieutenants and how they combat the invading Hollow Army. Any seated, unseated, or Academy students will be NPCs and making a PC for one of them is not ideal.

The following are not going to be introduced in this RP: FullBringers, Quincies
The following have never existed in this RP: Vizzards, Arrancar

Any that wish to create a Hollow needs to see the GM as the stats are quite different and spoiling plot points will have to occur.

Pokémon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

@LegionPothIX I wanted to add more to the conversation between Sarah and Jenny (cause I feel it didn't provide the accuracy for what I had in mind for her). Also, they wouldn't have been allowed to enter near Mauville, nevermind walk through it. So I wanted to give you some kind of alternative action to take, if you needed it.
