Bleach - Resonant Souls

@WSilversun@LadyAnnaLee@Morgannis@McNephelim@BladeSS4@SleepyWrites@Letter Bee

I may begin the RP this weekend just to get everyone's characters introduced into the setting. If there's a certain way you want to be introduced, let me know.

For anyone still finishing their characters, fret not. The RP's doors do not close when it begins. You may still complete them as the RP is going.

There'll be a general guideline eventually, but I'll assign them myself for now.

At the moment, not many actually use it as it's quite early. The system kicks in for more powerful stuff that may only see a couple or a few uses at a time.

New system information! I'd been thinking of how to work with Reiatsu, and here it is.

This is all in the first post of course, but I'm posting it here for everyone to see.

Reiatsu and Reiryoku

REIATSU & REIRYOKU

Reiryoku or spiritual power is the total amount of spiritual energy your character possesses. There are two ways to become incapacitated in this RP, one is being defeated and succumbing to wounds, and the other is running out of Reiryoku. Reiryoku can be expended to boost Strength for singular actions, and is used for particularly powerful techniques and Kido (not all techniques and Kido spells require reiryoku usage).

Reiatsu is your general aura, and spiritual pressure, the amount of pressure your reiryoku puts out. The more reiryoku you possess, the more of it spills out of you constantly as reiatsu. It can also be actively boosted by focusing entirely on its output (this does not spend reiryoku).

One big benefit of Reiatsu is that the value of your Reiatsu is how much you can spend on Reiryoku actions for free. For example, if your Reiatsu is 50, then you can use 50 Reiryoku for free granted the action does not exceed it. If it does exceed your Reiatsu, you will pay the cost minus your Reiatsu.

Examples

Scenario (Strength boost, free)

• Reiryoku: 1000
• Reiatsu: 200

Desired Action: Spend 200 Reiryoku to boost Strength

Result: Reiatsu is 200, this action is free

---

Scenario (Kido with higher cost)

• Reiryoku: 2000
• Reiatsu: 400

Desired Action: Cast Soukatsui for 600 Reiryoku

Result: Reiatsu is 400. 600-400=200. Only 200 Reiryoku spent.

New episode soon.

@WSilversun great, feel free to drop that in

Bleach - Resonant Souls

@WSilversun ay pretty good. We have three foreigners now I think.

Only thing is the radical shape of the asauchi. It can deviate but not by that much. If you still want a short blade, about the size of a kodachi is fine.

Shotto could be renamed to Tamahou, which is soul cannon. Shotto is just a borrowed word.

Oh I will also note. Any Kido anyone creates, anyone else is free to use them too granted their character has chosen to learn it.

Bleach - Resonant Souls

@WSilversun Still open mate, currently just doing prep and approving characters. Feel free to post your character here once you're ready.

Bleach - Resonant Souls

@SleepyWrites@VirgoDrago just conduct all activity here for now

For everyone, I've added rules now. They may be ammended or added to as needed over time but generally are pretty solid.

I'll probably make a discord in a week or two while I work on a couple scenarios.

Bleach - Resonant Souls

Yeah I drew those. I'll be drawing some characters every so often, not all of them. We may be starting next week, or the next weekend in terms of good timeframes, just a heads up.

Until then I'll be making sure everyone has a goal within this RP.

Bleach - Resonant Souls

The recruiters. Moving their npc sheets here. Now with pictures

Shinigami Recruiters

Shouko Hayasegawa

Name: Shouko Hayasegawa
Age: 100+
Race: Shinigami
Gender: Female

Description: A supremely beautiful Shinigami, shining white hair with red strands and under-colours tied by a hairpin into a flower patterned bun. She identifies herself as part of the Extermination Corp from Soul Society, and has been stationed in Sagamiyama to find potential substitute Shinigami. During the day in Sagamiyama, her cover is a flower shop clerk at a traditional style store. As such it's expected that she is skilled at flower arrangement. She wears a combination of red and black. As a Shinigami she wears a different black robe to that of her colleagues, seeming more fit for ceremony than combat, yet it does not seem to hinder her in the slightest.

Personality: Shouko is a serious type with a cold gaze that chills those she lays them upon, yet there is a deep-seated beauty within them. Where one's initial impression may be intimidation, before being lost in her cold eyes. She appears to show little emotion in most manners, maintaining a way of elegance, yet a small quip from her is all it takes to realize she may not be as high strung as she initially appears. She seems particularly fond of high energy music.

::COMBAT INFORMATION::
Combat Level: B
General Information: Shouko's zanpakuto in it's sealed state is a bright red paper umbrella with a concealed blade, shorter and thinner than other zanpakuto. While sheathed the umbrella itself is quite sturdy and can be used to fight also. Generally Shouko makes use of Kido most of all, and has a few that are of her own creation. Her movements are graceful, seemingly avoiding danger with minimal effort, and the umbrella itself being sturdy gives her options for defense and even offense should it be closed up and swung.

Shikai:　???

Ouga Tatsuha

Name: Ouga Tatsuha
Age: 100+
Race: Shinigami
Gender: Male

Description: It would be incredibly difficult to miss him. A rather large build for a Japanese man, no shirt, long coat, and a large pompadour so loud it he can be spotted from miles away. He identifies himself as part of the Shinigami Civil Corp, and so it is his job to handle all forms of training, of which he is qualified to do. Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hoho, Kido, he is capable in all forms. During the day and as his cover in Sagamiyama, he's a bike mechanic. He has in fact been in Sagamiyama for many years doing this job as a recruiter, so anyone living in the town would most certainly know him. As a Shinigami he wears his top undone, showing off his chest. Lower half of his torso is also wrapped up in bandages.

Personality: Loud, cheerful, and full of guts. He can be serious at times too, but he'll always try to break that down with a few extra words and keep things as light as possible. Despite his rough and liberated appearance he's actually quite intelligent, able to explain and teach rather well.

::COMBAT INFORMATION::
Combat Level: B
General Information: Ouga as a combatant is despite all of the knowledge he teaches, is fairly brute force. His zanpakuto in it's sealed state takes on the appearance of a wooden sword, which seems ineffectual at first, but as a result instead of cutting things, he beats them up with crushing force. His usage of the four arts also reflects this brute force style, where he will use high powered low range Kido spells, using Hoho only to stay on his targets, and then mixing Zanjutsu and Hakuda together to form a rough and unorthodox style of combat. In Soul Society he was known as the Lightning Ogre in the Civil Corp.
