[BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn: OOC Thread 10

[Callos_DeTerran]

Well, I was thinking about doing this before this week's chapter came out, but would it be objectional if I made a Don Kanonji-esche character? Someone rather silly and over the top with spiritual powers but not the srs bsns attitude to be a major player in this all?

Bah! Don Kanonji is just as srs bsns as anyone else in that anime! Even moreso for having a good gorram ideal to be fighting for.


That and that'd mean Moshi from the last game wasn't srs bsns and she totally was. "That's Moshi quality!"

[Draken]

Kanonji is serious business enough to...

Face Aizen headfirst and not buckle. Granted, that could just be attributed to not knowing he is looking at the big bad. But he broke the goddamn fourth wall on the same issue so it is up in the air.

If Kanonji kills Aizen It'd be fitting. All that buildup to be killed by a minor character. Even standing near Aizen is supposed to be a huge deal, so maybe Kanonji is actually

The King of Soul Society!!!!!!11!!!!

Anyone think so?

Okay, I have one thing to say...

SPIRITS ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU!!!

As for what riccaru suggested...

Wouldn't it be something if he was. Although he would probably "grow the beard" the instant he revealed himself to be so. Or not. Really kind of hard to tell.

Don Kanonji transforms his cane into a Zanpakuto and releases it, resulting in a ridiculously powerful attack that destroys Aizen.

On the other hand, he's a really crappy King of Soul Society for transforming pluses tied to the mortal world into Hollows.

You could bring over Kenta?

[Frozen_Feet]

He is who he is. 'Necessity' has not factored into my process at all. Whatever 'Power Level' he is is directly extrapolated from the Character Concept. He is who he is, no more, no less.

As I mentioned in the Changes section, the character has (hopefully) gotten a little more serious and a little less... comic relief than last game, but otherwise I mean for him to be the same character. In both versions, he's a Kidou Specialist who has been sharpening his art for centuries. Almost a Dozen centuries, in fact. I'm trying to focus a little more on him being good at what he does rather than being a weirdo that only one other person talks to. However, his 'Power Level' really hasn't changed that much from last game... he was always competent. He just had a little more Obfuscating Stupidity going on last time, so y'all didn't notice.

The bolded part makes me want to double-check your intentions.

Ryuunosuke Osamu, 5th division Captain, is the oldest known Shinigami (829 years), and Callos has expressed interest in keeping it that way. Also, Osamu looks the part. A Shinigami more than 400 years older who's still young raises awful lot of questions.

If Yasu is older than all other Shinigami, I can't see how he could have stayed as a no-body. He'd be, at the least, a Honorary Sage or something, someone the Captains would go to when they need to know of history etc. Him being as powerful as a Vice-Captain and still remaining as unseated I simply can't fathom within the current Kido Corp structure - Kitano Takeshi, current Commander, visited a six-and-a-half centuries old dangerous criminal just to glean few tidbits of Corps history. Takeshi would not leave Yasu alone for a second with his characterization - he'd most likely have a dozen wacky plans for the poor fellow.

I realize you want to make him more serious and prevalent, but as it stands you might be overdoing it. 1200 years would put Yasu as the oldest living Shinigami, and most likely one of the most famous persons in whole of Seireitei.

Your character does not have to be millenia old to be competent, or fit 'old, eccentric wizard' archetype. Kido Commander himself is 57, and his closest rivals in Kido expertise are somewhere near 200 years old on average. Anyone over 100 year benchmark already has potential for superhuman knowledge and expertise - Yasu doesn't have to be arbitrarily old to be competent.

As such, I suggest you reconsider his aging, and put down a hard number. There isn't really anything that you'd need to change in his bio or characterization - it'd just adress most my issues, and potentially make it easier to figure who knows him and who does not.

Sounds fun. And exactly the type of person situation Yasu should be finding himself falling head over heels onto into.

Sayuri is a workaholic who strives to be example of perfect Shinigami. Takeshi acted immaturely on their date, and now she's a bit miffed someone so incompetent has been given charge of venerable Kido Corps. Furthermore, she's heard Takeshi is going to break down old Corps buildings, something which she considers a cultural crime akin to burning library of Alexandria.

Really, just look out for my posts in Soul Society thread. She'll be contacting Corps members sooner or later.

Question for Kasanip - how does traditional clothing (kimono, etc.) fit into modern Japanese society? In Kara no Kyoukai, for instance, how would people react to Shiki dressing the way she does?

It is difficult question
It depends maybe where you see such a thing, who is wearing and what kind of Japanese clothes.

It would be my thought of '○○ must be working at such a place' or dress of formality. Maybe of festival or for visit of someone. Of course 'style' and 'color' makes me think of other ideas too. Maybe such a thing makes people curious, of course you should not stare rudely at such a person. And some places maybe it is less and more common. If it is maybe 'normal' of kind I won't think so much about the person, I think.

[Prime32]

Any advice you could give on a character who wants to appear as "Japanese" as possible to others? Activities which could show this without seeming weird?

Your question is very broad of difficulty. I am sorry, I do not think I understand how to respond.

Is it a question of 'habit' ? To appear "Japanese" to Japanese or foreigner? Is this character not Japanese?
If you want to make 'Japanese Character' maybe to decide character things first?
Of clothing 'western style' is most often of clothing for young people.

I don't know your character, so it is hard to say advice

[Prime32]

She's half-Japanese, but tries to hide it since she hates her foreign mother.

You asked for critique of the idea of porting, did you not? He's providing it. Nowhere in there does it indicate to me that he's particularly upset, merely concerned, and pointing out the causes for worry. Now, please actually address his points.

As well, he's even giving you suggestions on the age. Which...sounds like he's trying to figure it out.

Besides, his point on the age is very valid. Somebody that old might well be practically forced into command of the Kido Corps after the last Commander "passed away". "Rags to riches story" or not, Takeshi just couldn't match the sheer knowledge that one thousand, two hundred years could bring. It would boggle the mind as to why the Central 46 wouldn't order Yasu to be the new Kido Commander. The alternative would, at best, be that he is denied the official resources of Soul society.

If, instead, he's around 2-300, he can be an 'old, eccentric wizard' without begging huge questions. Offhand, 250 seems decent. It puts him well ahead of most unseated, Seated Officers, and the like, but not too far ahead of most of the Captains. While there might be questions as to why he's not Commander, they wouldn't be totally overwhelming.

[Frozen_Feet]

Of course we'll do. I felt like pointig out said issues, as you likely weren't familiar with them beforehand. Ages exceeding longevity of most human nations just happen to have tons of implications. That's part of the fun, to speak the truth.

Episode 2: I was going to use Sho to push Hannibal away, but she can't without the incantation. There's no incantation. So fireball works just as good.

[Innis Cabal]

Well, you could have done "X says the incantation before pushing the target away with a Sho" or...you could have made one up >.>

Sho is most basic attack spell. Suzume could've most likely put decent force behind one even without incantation.

[Innis Cabal]

So...when we getting the plot going? Everything seems to be sorta languishing here. Maybe just the initial feeling from comming back, but sorta felt that way before I moved to.

[KnightDisciple]

Probably a nice crossroads of getting through the current mini-plots, such as Val's party, the Las Noches Grand Melee, and the like, and us keeping ourselves in gear to finish Classic BleachITP.

[Innis Cabal]

I see. Well, I'm still going to voice my concern that I don't think waiting to much longer to get even one plot started would be a very good idea. We've already sorta got plots going now, and while I understand we're waiting for the other game to finish...we've been waiting months for that. And it dosn't seem like the end is anywhere closer then where it was five or six weeks ago.

I trust this game will in fact take off, but I felt I should at least get that off my chest.

I'm not sure I'd say "lets go ahead and get plot started," but I do agree that the game should probably move faster and be taken a bit more seriously. Not that I want to discourage plot starting, I just think it should flow more naturally than having it suddenly start up all at once (though that probably should just be assumed, so don't mind me).

Oh hey, I need to post. >.>

I agree fully with you. As said, plots already started. I'd be more inclinded to say just let it start running its course to where ever it may lead. If it comes to a point where it has to wait for other people because of the older game...so be it, thats more then fair to everyone.

Just going "Throw the plot switch" won't work. But not comming around and saying "Plot! Hey now, cut that out!" every time an actual plot point moves forward might be in order. Lets the game flow as it will and where it will. That would be my honest suggestion.
