[BitPR2] Renewed Revolution OOCV

[Dorizzit]

This initial action is likely to go very poorly for the Akiyamas.

This initial action is likely to go very poorly for the Akiyamas.

Long term it might cement an alliance between them and the Andersons and the "friendly" Belarus (I think I spelled that right?).

Especially since as things escalate I imagine the Winchester Clan will sign up with the war and hand out guns and so forth.

[Dorizzit]

We'll see what happens.

[Kuroimaken]

It's worth noting that while Koutarou is trying his best, he probably needs to clear everything he talked about with Li first.

Which reminds me, I have to post with Setsurou as he looks for Hideki.

[Tebryn]

I have to wonder a bit what we Quincy are doing right now, are we waiting for Hein to make a move?

I believe so. I'll try to get something up by the end of the weekend, it's been very busy now that the holidays are done.

[KnightDisciple]

As a note, I've been in communication with horngeek.

I've sent Frozen_Feet a PM with a bunch of Akiyama Clan stuff, but HG said that if anyone's interested in taking up his PCs to play further, they can. If you do and you have questions I can act as a relay.

[Frozen_Feet]

[COLOR="Green"]"Of course he thinks that, because money grows on trees and buildings sprout from spores released at the onset of spring."

The funny thing here is that the above is not outside Zheng Li Lin's ability to implement. Of course, the commander has better things to do than gardening houses.

---

Also, Momoka just got a permission to do something mildly illegal, and this time she isn't even going to be the one to be blamed for it. Where's here overjoyed reaction?

[Kuroimaken]

Speaking of, Li can probably feed Seireitei in the absence of the common folk of Rukongai with his Shikai alone.

Koutarou can probably provide the electricity.

[Frozen_Feet]

You're just begging for Li to go on a wild rant on why Li doesn't do that.

[Kuroimaken]

I'm just saying dem Death Gods would make KILLER appliances.

[Mabn]

thinking I might try this, sample character to be critiqued and then used as a minion wherever useful

Spoiler: Rethlin Malk

Show

Age: unknown, appears to be in his late 20s
Gender: Male
Height: 190cm
Weight: 80kg
Station: Arancar

Spoiler: Description

Show

Rethlin has death-white skin and hair, eyes, and tongue that are a solid monochrome dark blue. He has a small hollow hole that goes from the palm of one hand through his body to the palm of his other hand. The remnants of his mask are in two halves in the back of his head that stick out through his hair in 6 twisted horns. His teeth are pointed and his mouth is often slightly open as if he was drinking in and tasting his surroundings. He wears loose pants and a loose shirt the color of his hair. His Reiatsu is hard to detect and feels, if anything like a faint numbness.

Spoiler: Personality

Show

Rethlin is a quite but curious individual, obedient but seldom expressive. He seems unnervingly patient and attentive without ever seeming to exert himself. He is fascinated by other people, usually watching them from a distance or occasionally moving alongside them to see something more closely or ask them something.

Spoiler: Abilities

Show

Rather than emitting Reiatsu he seems to absorb any Reiatsu near to him.
his physical and magical strength is very low but his movements are graceful

Spoiler: General abilities

Show

Cero: his cero dissipates almost the moment it leaves his fingers. If he charges a cero in his hand he can strike with it to drain a large amount of spirit energy from whatever he touches.
Bala: Similar to his cero he can create bala on his fingertips to use like claws, but they flicker out of existence outside his touch.
Hierro: Rethlin's Hierro is basically negligible
Garganta: Garganta are unusually easy to open for him
Pesquisa: Rethlin has excellent sensory powers
Sonido: Although he can not accelerate to the extent of other Arancar he can use Sonido very fluidly and maintain it well
Regeneration: Rethlin regenerates so quickly it seems like attacks go through him
Negacion: Rethlin never learned to do this because his Resurrección made it seem pointless

Spoiler: Zanpakuto

Show

name: Meerauge
release command: Meerauge
appearance: An oversized estoc with a basket hilt which Rethlin uses with both hands, moving one hand along the hilt and blade

Spoiler: Resurrección

Show

Rethlin's hair and shirt lengthen considerably, the later becoming a billowing robe, and both float in his Reiatsu like they were inside an underwater current. Blue-green shadows move across his skin like he was underwater, his arms lengthen, his nose becomes two slits, and his feet and hands grow claws

While in this form, areas inside his Reiatsu can suddenly seem to take on immense distances, objects inside them feeling no resistance but seeming to move very little with respect to their surroundings. He can create and hold bala and cero with any hand or foot while in this form.

[Kuroimaken]

You... may want to add some more detail to this guy. What's his background? Who or what does he work for? Does he have any primary motivations? If so, what are they?

As it is, he looks like a random throwaway. You could slap "Generic Arrancar #X" on his forehead and be done with it.

I didn't want to write a background until he was fine-tuned to make sure things fit together. I'd say he's probably damaged somehow, because something in him's missing. Motivation-wise I think he goes around watching people because he doesn't have anything he really cares about and it's an easy way to pass the time, but he also knows he's incomplete some somehow and he's not sure what is gone. (yeah, I'm not moving away from generic Arrancar x here )

[Frozen_Feet]

Hmmm, a new, low-ranking Arrancar? I think your timing is near-perfect. I could definitely see Jehoel assigning him to lead Rin or Tamaki around. We'll have to wait for input from those players' characters, but it shouldn't take too long.

[ImpSyndrome]

Kuro, how go the preparations for Operation Suikoden? Is it about time to have Satoshi finish up his training and ready for deployment?

[Neknoh]

Oh my, seems as if we have a new Japanese Quincy as well, I wonder where his allegiance will lie

[Kuroimaken]

Operation Suikoden won't, despite the designation, be concluded swiftly. It's actually a mid-to-long-term project for all involved.

Also, Setsurou needs to run some numbers by the Commander before he can actually get it started. And Masaru, too.

[Tebryn]

Oh my, seems as if we have a new Japanese Quincy as well, I wonder where his allegiance will lie

Seems so, probably not with either faction from the look of things. I hope they post here in the OOC however.

[Rain Dragon]

Oh, it looks like a few people have found my post just as I lifted the WIP tag from it. I suppose I don't really need to link it then...

Just a heads up, 'Jion-kun' may be more appropriate than going straight for referring to him by his first name.

Suikoden? Ah, I really need to read more of the IC thread.

Training and deployment?

I wonder also... Oh wait it's me. I'm not up to date on all of the story yet. He's a distant relation of the Akiyamas if that helps at all (I'll need to make that a little clearer).

I have read most of the information so far, but haven't read all of it yet. I thought it would take a while for everyone to have a look at my character post.

Are these two factions the ones for warring against the shinigami and the ones seeking a truce?

I was going to post here this morning (it seemed the most logical course of action). I just wanted a little time to see if there was any awkward English remaining. Then I ended up being busy today, so didn't get to. Sorry about that!

Imp has a shinigami named Satoshi. This is all relevant to current events in Soul Society.

Technically the war with the shinigami is still going to start, the quincy are more infighting than anything.

Ah, I feel very foolish now. My sincerest apologies (it all makes sense now!). I haven't read the spirit realm IC thread yet.

Mm, that doesn't sound very useful... Infighting is usually a little petty.

Well, it's more a war between Clans. The scale will exceed "petty", though the reasoning is both "petty" and "a bit insane".

Also, someone not me should make a new Spirit World thread.

[Tebryn]

That's the nature of war.

[Neknoh]

Well, to put it in anime terms, we have the Ishida family being the "kinda good guys, don't bother shinigami, truce is ok I guess."

And on the other hand, we have Bach and the Sternritters coming, with revenge and purging in mind, "The friend of my enemy is my enemy." and "They tried to wipe our clan out a century ago, we will not forgive the traitors." echoing through Hein's head (far as I've understood it).

Hein is more "We've had enough of being the playthings of the heavens".

[Neknoh]

Fair enough.
Still wont end well for most involved parties

Including Hein and any other member of the Warring Quincy who don't mind letting their characters die.

[Neknoh]

Aye

[ImpSyndrome]

Alright, so I'll be standing by on Operation Suikoden, if I understand you correctly...In that case, should we finish up Satoshi's Hakuda training so he can move on to other things?

Actually, now that I think about it...What "other things" would there be for someone in Recon Div. to do...?

[Kuroimaken]

As it is, while Setsurou and Naijeru have been tasked with making Operation Suikoden work, they've not been given authonomy to initiate it. The way it works is they figure it out, send up a report, and when the higher chain of command says "go", they go. That's partly because that way the higher-ups can analyze the current plan and see if there's anything wrong with it, and if so, it can be addressed.

One of the reasons they've been building up a contingent is so that they can start anytime, and implement changes on the fly. But they still need that all-important command to get started.

And because it didn't occur to Setsurou to ask the SSI for non-lethal weaponry before (what can I say, the guy was trying not to pervert Masaru's idea), now he needs to amend his report to include that possibility. But before that, he has to run it by Naijeru and see how he likes the idea, since he's only working logistics but the actual manpower command belongs to Naijeru; it's about keeping the other half in the loop.

All in all, those are the reasons Operation Suikoden hasn't started yet.

I'd also like to reiterate that Satoshi's on loan for Internal Security now. After he's done with the physical training he'll have to get started on policework and investigation training.
