Bleach: Turn Back the Pendulum [OOC]

[Toxic Mind]

Oh, hadn't seen this. Perhaps Yan Wao Shen can come with him...once you sort that whole thing out.

A spammer in the works? Fantastic!

[Frozen_Feet]

@Toxic Mind: sure, that works. You can either describe his arrival in your next post, or pick Wao Shen along the way first while Takehiko is trying to pick up Qiu Tao.

[Toxic Mind]

good thing we didn't double post! I think for now the nobility will take different paths, likely to meet up in the future. after all, tales of fine new weapons will likely begin reaching Shiba ears.

[King539]

Yo, people. Kuang's here. Also, I have an idea. The Las Bestia may not be hungry anymore, but what if, instead, they all had some sort of thing that happens when they eat souls?

Spoiler: Kuang

Show

Full name: Fengkuang de She.
Age: A few hundred.
Gender: N/A.
Height: About 7 feet.
Weight: Surprisingly light.
Species: Hollow, Las Bestia.
Station: Yan Wao Shen's roadie.
Speech: Forest Green

Spoiler: Description

Show

Kuang stands very tall, hunched slightly. His arms and legs are spindly, hands tipped with long, needle-like claws. His mask covers the top half of his face, freeing his pointy-toothed mouth.

Spoiler: Personality

Show

Kuang is... not entirely sane. He is undeniably brilliant, but his behaviour is often erratic and unpredictable. However, he is utterly terrified of Yan Wao Shen, and will always avoid doing things that will displease the boss.

Spoiler: History

Show

To come.

Spoiler: Story So Far

Show

N/A.

Spoiler: Abilities

Show

Surprising strength: Despite his apparent frailness, Kuang has surprising strength.

Novice Sorcerer: Kuang has recently started studying sorcery under Yan Wao Shen. However, he is still new to it.

Cero: Kuang can concentrate his spiritual power into a blast of red, flame-like energy.

Poisoned Claws: Kuang's claws can inject a variety of different poisons into people he hits with them, depending on the severity of the wound. These include knockout, acidic, mind-control/will-weakening, deadly poison, etc.

Knowledge Thief: Kuang absorbs the memories and knowledge from the souls he devours.

[Razade]

Please remember King, that the Hollows don't know that the Carrion King and Yan Wao Shen is the same person. So what ever his reasons for following the Necromancer are, it shouldn't be that he's in charge of Las Noches.

[King539]

I know. Kuang spends most of his time in Las Noches in his chambers, doing weird experiments and stuff, so nobody knows whether or not he`s in Las Noches. Convenient.

Also, does anyone have any idea hoe Ezekiel could be introduced to the rest of the characters.

[Frozen_Feet]

I have, but it will take a while. Takehiko needs to get back to Soul Society first.

I was thinking of playing some mundane humans to give Ezekiel things to do untill then.

[King539]

Explain this plan.

[Vulkan]

Oh, I remember this <3
May I join in as well?
I wish to play as that Arrancar character who's primary method is disguising itself and preying on unsuspecting victims (No reason why that can't be just a regular hollow in reality)

Or one that plays with a portal, pocket dimension and pheromones (that only attract hollows, does not affect arrancar unless they're incredibly weak willed) but is physically very weak on her own.

Or a healer (with pheromones, because the idea of a bunch of weak hollows coming in to my defense sounds awesome.)

[Razade]

There are no Arrancar, this setting is starting 2100 years before present day. There are still Hollows of course.

[Vulkan]

Oh dear you're right... Eh, no reason those characters need to be Arrancar when they can just be hollows.
I'll just take away a few abilities

Disguising

vs.

PHEROMONES!

[Frozen_Feet]

Explain this plan.

Eh, it isn't much of a plan. Maybe a roman soldier passing by? Or some other mundane person?

If you meant the former, I'll keep it a secret for a while longer.

[King539]

I did mean the former, but whatever. Feel free to post whatever you plan to post whenever. What I'm basically doing right now is Ezekiel's inspiration for his eventual development of various Quincy abilities. The random puppeteer is inspiration for Ransotengai, etc. I plan for Ezekiel to fall in the river and get to a place far faster than he normally could. *cough*Hirenkyaku*cough*

[King539]

Alternatively, Kane could be looking for his own blacksmith,, trying to match Takehiko's sudden advantage.

[Toxic Mind]

don;t know he has an advantage yet.

[Ammutseba]

Does anybody need a villain?

[Razade]

Hollow-side could certainly use more people. Always room for more nobles too. I'm not sure the story needs a "villain" so much as a network of actual players yet however. Pretty sure everyone's sorta at odds and that's antagonist enough for the number of people we have. Not like we've got a lot of competing storylines going. Or the people to run them. We should probably flesh out the backstory of the game so we can move to more recent bits because that's what people want to play if Vulkan is any evidence.

[King539]

don;t know he has an advantage yet.

Yeah. I meant once Kane realizes that Takehiko has an advantage.

[Razade]

Yeah. I meant once Kane realizes that Takehiko has an advantage.

I think Toxic Mind is pointing out that we're unsure OOCly that Takehiko has an advantage.

[igordragonian]

Question-
Would it be ok, if I'll create Qiu's eternal lover and killer as a character? (Probably a villian?)

I was thinking about a cursed soul, with the ability to control the hollows Qiu has killed and was in charge of killing in 7 life times, and strengthen them.
Sound ok?
I understood, there are no enough "villains"

[Razade]

Aren't we all kind of antagonists to one another? It certainly seems to be for the most part.

[igordragonian]

yep. I'm just offering a character.
That all.

[Razade]

I mean, I think the more the merrier? It's someone from your background, I don't think there's a problem with it personally?

I think a good goal is attracting more people in general. The more people the less we have to double/triple/etc up and the more people we'll have for further on in the game. I don't know about anyone else but I'm eager to get to modern times.

[Frozen_Feet]

Igordragonian: go ahead and introduce a new character if you think it will help keep the game going.

Ammutseba: what do you mean by "villain"?

If you mean "antagonist", then like Razade pointed out, most characters are already antagonistic towards each other. So in that sense, we do not need villains.

If you mean "evil person", then I'll point out that canonical Soul Society has people like Mayuri Kurotsuchi. So you could fit a very evil person into any of the founding slots of the Royal Guard or Gotei.

[Ammutseba]

By "villain" I don't mean someone who is antagonistic to the other characters, but whose scope, goals and abilities will encourage other characters to come together in opposition of them. Even, and perhaps especially, if they would normally be at odds with one another.

[King539]

Uhhh... Toxic Mind? Kuang? I replied a while back.

[Toxic Mind]

Uhhh... Toxic Mind? Kuang? I replied a while back.

Not much to say. Have you found any worthy candidates?
I responded now. Trying to keep this from becoming first Character Kill, but Kane Shiba tends to resport to violence sooner than most.

By "advantage" I meant "master swordsmith." Like this:

Well off the bat...there are no Human Hollows yet. That's something only a Vasto Lorde can be and those don't exist.
