Bleach Reborn OOC 3: Discussion

[horngeek]

Actually, what would S.W.O.R.D's actions towards Izumi be, as a whole? I mean, Substitute Shinigami aren't exactly common...

[strawberryman]

Seeing as she is still technically living, they would probably try to recruit her.

And if she refused, they'd leave well enough alone unless she got in their way.

[Tackyhillbillu]

And they promise not to dissect her,

Before they've gotten some use out of her.

[horngeek]

What if she did get in their way?

Especially as, seeing that she's a Shonen hero, she will.

[KnightDisciple]

So, he can see through Kyakko? But has a belt that lets him stealth?

That's...Uh...Kind of unfair. Like, in a meta-sense. Or nearly so.

Can it see through zanpakutou, or other powers that grant uncanny stealth?

What if he's up against someone using more mundane stealth techniques?

Also, when you say "fast shinigami", how "fast" are we talking? Hisagi? Byakuya? Yourichi? Ichigo?

Use your imagination, they're the kind of people who will do anything to meet their ends.

Kudos to whoever can tell who I based him (heavily) off of.

A man who fulfils all your organ repossession needs?

See my above post.

[Callos_DeTerran]

"I promise nothing but to try and help her."

So, he can see through Kyakko? But has a belt that lets him stealth?

Also, when you say "fast shinigami", how "fast" are we talking? Hisagi? Byakuya? Yourichi? Ichigo?

Yes. No, it's not stealth. Just makes him quiet so he CAN be stealthy. Ever hear someone walking around dressed in rubber? They ain't quiet.

No, it cannot see through zanpakuto or other powers. It's remarkably specific on Kyakko because while any shinigami COULD have a stealth zanpakuto, any shinigami CAN use Kyakko. The difference is also that it's unlikely that a stealth zanpakuto or ability functions the same way as Kyakko and thus renders that viewing mood entirely useless. It's, literally, a defense against a single kido spell and that's if he remembers to check with that viewing mood.

Mundane stealth techniques work just fine if they are able to sneak about him. This isn't to say sneaking about him is easy, he's stealthy himself so he knows what to look for, but it's certainly possible and even likely in some regards.

When I say fast shinigami I mean 'equal to a 6th seat (maybe) who is fast'. He's strong (for a mortal) but he's not a speedster by any means.

A man who fulfills all your organ repossession needs?

Well that was fast.

[KnightDisciple]

Ok. So handy, but not too much.

Does he have regular Night-Vision in there?

Also:

Do not, under any circumstances, let Kaito and this man become friendly. Period.

Or if they are friendly, make damn sure Kaito has plenty of moral anchors. He's just pliable enough in his life right now, he'll need that.

Or this happens.

[Callos_DeTerran]

No, but that's a good idea.

I object to this. Outside of work when his cover is up, Anthony is one helluva role-model.

[Tackyhillbillu]

Well, Tani is capable of being a moral anchor point. He's manipulable, but more because he is gullible. When it comes to his moral outlook, he is actually pretty much rock steady.

Of course, Tani is a cross between a Boisterous Bruiser and a Blood Knight, so using him as your moral compass may prove troubling.

[KnightDisciple]

Thing is, S.W.O.R.D. would surely be interested in the non-shini kids. Like Kaito. So it's the "work version" of him I'd be worried about influencing the kid.

I was speaking partly in jest; we've got a large number of mortal kids, so I don't foresee too big of a chance of Kaito going psycho. Probably.

[Frozen_Feet]

@Tacky: Boisterous Bruiser and Blood Knight? Why, he'd get along with Hannibal just fine if the two ever meet!

[Tackyhillbillu]

@Tacky: Boisterous Bruiser and Blood Knight? Why, he'd get along with Hannibal just fine if the two ever meet!

Well, Hannibal is on another power scale entirely from Tani (Tani just being a Spiritually Aware Human) but yeah I could see them being friends.

Of course, Tani is firmly at the heroic end of things, and Hannibal seems much more mixed, so it could end up being more of a

"I regret that we meet in this way. You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend."

kind of moment.

[Frozen_Feet]

Maybe. You never know what weird things might happen during the course of the game.

[Tackyhillbillu]

Indeed. Just covering the possibilities.

[horngeek]

Thing is, S.W.O.R.D. would surely be interested in the non-shini kids.

Which is why Izumi is likely to come into conflict with them.

Remember that speech Tyler gave Metta?

You know, the one starting with police taking Natsuko for 'a little chat'?

...yeah. Something like that might actually happen.

----

On another note, I am thinking of recycling either Daisuke or Natsuko for this game. Either way, they'll be Shinigami.

Either one has two options: either as a Captain (but a lower-powered one) or as just a lower-seat Shinigami officer- they'd have Shikai in that case, but not Bankai.

...hmmm...

[Tackyhillbillu]

Alright, does anyone have any objections to talking about how we plan to start the game?

And if not, how should we? With a bang, via a first arc (most likely based on Kasanip's comic) or more slowly?

If we choose a more structured beginning, what kind of characters would be welcome to participate?

[Vulkan]

I say slow.. Reason being is I think it will be easier for people to keep track of things and not forget about things or characters.

*Cries* WHY YOU DO ME LIKE THAT HORNGEEK!

[Draken]

Hmm... Probably best to start with the action needed. Give the mortals their powers, make the connections, set up the locations.

Maybe, maybe not.

And in retrospect, I'm not totally proud of that bit. >.< Not sure why I took it to the, ah, lengths that I did, even if I wouldn't change the general direction.

Uh...Remind me, did you drop your 11th Captain guy?

And I recall you mentioning having Daisuke come in with no Vizard powers, and hopefully some tone-downs on his zanpakutou powers. What would Natsuko's sword be like?

I'd like a bit of structure to start, but also keep it slow at first. I'd like to have a bit of "almost normal kids" going on for a bit of time, then we launch into Hollow fighting.

Meanwhile, we can establish the Shinigami without crazy crises going on in the background.

[horngeek]

Yeah, I did. His Zanpaktou was a cool idea, but I'm not sure I can pull it off.

On Daisuke's Zanpaktou: Funny. His Zanpaktou, if you take a look, is the least broken part of him in the original BleachitP.

But yeah. No mask, I'd probably retool his Bankai somewhat (becomes summoning + beamspam, essentially, as well as a name change).

Natsuko's Zanpaktou... not entirely sure. If I can't think if a good one soon, I'll drop that idea, but I'm thinking something themed around Hachiman (the japanese god of Samurai, among other things, if I remember correctly).

But yes- in either case, they wouldn't have masks.

On the speech: you're right- probably not to those extents, but a plot based around an organisation of spiritually aware mortals being able to hold one of our teens prisoner and the rest having to rescue him/her would be... interesting, in my opinion.

I'll answer my own questions.

1. I have no problem with it, since I brought up the subject.

2. I'm with Draken. Start it with a bang. Vulkan, your concerns are relevant, but I don't believe a slow start would help that. Characters are likely to memorable when doing things.

3. I vote we base the first plotline, or whatever we call it on Kasanip's idea. The Mortal Characters band together to deal with a Hollow, or multiple Hollows. This means limiting the characters. I'd suggest that most of the focus be on the Mortals. Shinigami, Arrancar, Bount, and others should be kept to the sidelines for it. They can interact in Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Mortal World, but they shouldn't be more then vestegial parts of this scene.

So, at the moment we need a Big Bad, and a list of those who want to participate.

---

I wouldn't object to having a little bit of time before the plot really kicks off, maybe a schoolday or so, in game.

[Vulkan]

Oh you made a post about Leonardo waking up I replied and since then never two words about it which my interaction with you is basically the only way I can really post with my character.

I mean in all reality I could of said to heck with it and gave my character combat abilities but that would go against what I was going for

[Moon Wolf]

I don't want to know, I don't want to know, I don't want to know....
Actually, yes I do, dammit.

I'll offer Soshi Koan up for the Big Bad for the first story arc. He's balanced around the core cast and was made to be a "Growing Villian" that could match the hero's with his own people any time the story called for him.

So, that would work with the intent I made him.

[horngeek]

Post a link to your last post in the BleachitP (as opposed to this one) OOC. I'll see what I can do.

My vote is Soshi Koan probably isn't the best big bad. Even if you meant to keep him low in power, he's still an Arrancar. At this point, Hollows are intended to be dangerous to Mortals.
