Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 16: Apocalypse Now!
Yes, I know what that means. I also know that Ryouchi has no clue what is really going on in the Kido Corps since, you know, Chen was hiding everything from him since the beginning. Central would also know this, and they know that Soushi isn't a member of the Corps, has never been a member, and also doesn't know the inner workings of the Corps. Yuuta on the other hand has been there for quite a while, and is of equal rank. He would be the better candidate, no matter what recommendations he may have.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 16: Apocalypse Now!
riccaru, whether I had anything against the idea would depend upon:
-How powerful the quincy is already
-How powerful those that he associates with tend to be
-To a lesser degree, exactly why you want it for this character
As has been pointed out, Cackling Oni was a Quincy. He also didn't get as large of a power boost as most vizards. So, he didn't wind up as unnecessarily powerful.
Edit: As for the recommendation, even if it doesn't ultimately make a difference, Ryouichi is still within his rights to make said recommendation, and try to affect things, yes? Also, just because he doesn't know what the current shape of the Kido Corps is doesn't mean that his suggestion wouldn't hold weight. Given what a large fraction of the Kido Corps just pulled, quite frankly, most of the remainder would be under some measure of suspicion. An outsider brought in to reform them could therefore be seen as an attractive alternative.Last edited by Sucrose; 2011-05-24 at 04:02 PM.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 16: Apocalypse Now!
Are you just being combative for the sake of being combative? You don't need to explain things to me that I have already accounted for. I know it's a strong possibility Yuuta will be considered over Soushi, but Ryouichi has his reasons for recommending him. It's a recommendation, not a dictation.
I'm done talking about this.Last edited by strawberryman; 2011-05-24 at 04:01 PM.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 16: Apocalypse Now!
Hmmm... Hotaru will probably be promoted up to fill the recently vacated 3rd seat anyway, at some point, so the Hayashi twins can remain where they are.
Incidentally, would anyone like their characters to be friends with her already?

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 16: Apocalypse Now!
*shrug* I really couldn't care less whether or not the guy took the wheel of the KC. If he remains a VC, nothing will have really changed from game start as the new CC would roughly fill the same role that the former one did. As such, this might lead to more excellent tension in the story. On the other hand, if he DOES take the spot of CC himself, that would serve as a natural progression of the current wedded plots as both Yuuta and Sayuri tie up history plot points.
tl;dr: However it goes down, I can see it being all good. So... -chillax people. This is a game, it should be treated as such.Last edited by Hadrian_Emrys; 2011-05-24 at 04:52 PM.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 16: Apocalypse Now!
Quincy kind of have a Resurreccion equivalent with Final Form, except for the whole pesky "once-ever" thing. Granted, it seems that Final Form is a great deal more powerful to account for that, since in canon we saw Uryu literally one-shot a Bankai and then go on to curbstomp a Captain.
If you're in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Tea has caffeine, so it's not a good idea to use it to calm people down anyway.
EDIT: Unless it's chamomile tea.Last edited by Kuroimaken; 2011-05-24 at 04:31 PM.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 16: Apocalypse Now!
Scalding hot tea necessitates waiting for it to cool down or you'll burn your mouth, so the overall experience of drinking such beverage not only helps, but necessitates calming down.

It's not black coffee, it can calm you down before you drink enough to feel the effects of the caffeine.
Frozen Feet has a point as well.
But the best reson is that if you ruin a tea party, Alice will ground you on the moon and you won't get back down until you apologise.Treasured Quotes

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 16: Apocalypse Now!
I'm going to make two very quick, basic points about Soushi's potential appointment as Kido Commander.
1.)"Has no history with the Kido Corps" is likely to be seen as a feature, not a bug.
2.)His "suspension" was 1 week, and was only because he was, if anything, overeager in his duties. It was a case of "well, I guess we need to do something to "punish" him...". If you reread that scene, you'll see Ryouichi's giving that suggestion with a wink and a nudge about those 'extra funds' to basically make up for Soushi's lost "official pay". It was a slap on the wrist and a pat on the back all in one. So waving it around like some huge big thing doesn't really work.

By the way, Val has only really shown the ability to use bala/cero in battle as of yet. Sure, she's got heightened strength and whatnot but her Blue Mage abilities, if you will, have not quite been revealed for certain just yet, to my knowledge. Just nitpicking here, but still.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 16: Apocalypse Now!
It kinda stands to reason that if you punish someone and then sing his praise next, well... then it wasn't much of a punishment.
To wit, Riccaru: I may be among our little council of five, but because this is my character, I'm not pushing for or against said promotion. I've mentioned alternatives, even, and how they might play out.
I just wanted to know whether I should start planning for future events. Is all.
EDIT: Besides, one week's suspension without pay? No liberties revoked or restricted? No demotions? No warnings on his permanent record? As punishments go, this one was REALLY light.Last edited by Kuroimaken; 2011-05-24 at 07:51 PM.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 16: Apocalypse Now!
Alexander Yori, Quincy
[SPOILER]
Quincy
Gender:Male
Age: 23
Height:5'11"
Weight:187
Rietsu/speech: Navy blue
Eyes: Light blue, nearly grey
Hair: Short and brown, sticks up slightly
Appearance: A rather thin build for an archer belies powerful arms and a willingness to do anything to win. Alexander changes his clothing and style regularly but always wears a pair of converse high tops which compliment his outfit. His quincy cross is surprisingly nondescript and worn on his left wrist at all times.
SpoilerWhile hollowfied his left arm gains a solid white vambrace and his face is covered by a blank white mask. The mask is flat, with no nose or mouth at all.
Personality: Alexander has a very straightforward view on good and evil. Everything that stops him from killing as many hollows as possible is evil. He is terse with mediums but likes to keep in contact with them. He has mixed feelings about "living" arrancar/visards and dislikes working with Hollowings. He usually views himself as better than other spiritually empowered mortals. He never states he is better unless directly challenged. He often will be more easily talked to with a group, however.
SpoilerWhile hollowfied Alexander's worst personality trait, his ego, is heightened tremendously. He will resist all claims of inadequacy and will reply harshly to any offered help.
Family history:SpoilerThe Yori family have been quincy for many years, though only ever passed through the male gene. They inhabited the area of Phoenix town until recently, when his great grandfather migrated to America in order to escape the Yakuza. There the Quincy lifestyle fell to the wayside, with Alexander's father not even knowing of his powers. Alexander had learned of his own powers a few years ago when the American shinigami were fighting a hollow incursion. He shortly learned of his ancestry from his grandfather and moved back to Phoenix town. Last year, his parents passed in a tragic car accident, leaving Alexander with a sizable amount of money. He has since been living in a studio apartment standing over a storage building alone.
Abilities: Alexander is quite masterful of the basic quincy arts.
SpoilerWhile hollowfied his powers are magnified by quite a bit as well as gaining a minor amount of heirro and the ability to use garganta. He will also slowly regenerate wounds, keeping himself from bleeding out.
Archery: (Raven's Qualm) A specialty of his, he is able to fire up to five arrows at once. His shots are quite strong as well as fast.
SpoilerWhile hollowfied his spirit bow becomes a bright crimson and becomes much more powerful. The speed stays the same, but he can now fire up to thirteen arrows simultaneously. His normal quincy bow will take on a violet color after his first transformation.
Seele Schneider: He is capable of using this Quincy technique but is fairly unpracticed. He doesn't usually use these weapons.
Ginto: Alexander rarely uses these in battle, using them instead to fortify his apartment or rarely to open a garganta.
Hirenkyaku: Alexander can use this ability but rarely if ever does so outside of combat.
SpoilerWhile hollowfied, Alexander's speed increases greatly, while being supplemented by sonido.Last edited by riccaru; 2011-05-24 at 08:25 PM.
