[BitP:R] BleachITP Reborn OOC Thread 15: Eye of the Tiger... Hollow

[horngeek]

It was hypothetical!

The type that views the church as a community.

More detail would be NSFGitP, but it's not that unusual. Youth Groups do it all the time, this is just for the wider church instead of just the Youth Groups.

It was a joke. since you said "incidentally" I pretended it was related to the "ripping out the spine and feeding it" part of my post. Which would be odd, for any kind of establishment.

I give up

[horngeek]

<.<

I plead Asperger's.

[Ammutseba]

Whoa, wait. What is this? The 5th division captain is going to die?! But why?

[Nicklance]

He already died. Old age it seems.

Old Age: A rare condition that adventurers encounter.

[riccaru]

Old Age: A rare condition that adventurers encounter.

That's a myth. Real adventurer's never make it to old age. They die to an epic level vampire paragon with spellcaster levels.

True story. BBEG isn't fooling around.

Which makes the Badass Grandpa trope so precious.

Which makes the Badass Grandpa trope so precious.

Yes. Although I think it was overkill to spend a CR 18 vampire at my players at level 6.

Got the plot along nicely though.

[Ammutseba]

So then... who is the new 5th division captain? This is important to me... I need to talk to them about my character.

[Draken]

There isn't, the death was pretty recent. You can discuss it with any of the other captains, however.

[Ammutseba]

Oh. Well, nevermind then. If there isn't a new captain, then it's not important yet.

[Nicklance]

Oh. Well, nevermind then. If there isn't a new captain, then it's not important yet.

You could make one

[Hadrian_Emrys]

You could make one

-or become one. >_>

[Nicklance]

-or become one. >_>

Dun Dun DUNNNNN

[Hadrian_Emrys]

They gave me a loving Division. I gave them a swift death.

Whereas I gave them the option of a perfect world.

[Innis Cabal]

Oh sorry, I didn't mean to speak in Abishai voice. That'd have been more like.

"They offered me a home. So I ate their faces and drug their bodies around the room while singing We Are the Champions"

I miss Toho too. I am amazed you still have my quote in your sig...it's been so bloody long.

[Hadrian_Emrys]

I only regret that he didn't get the game-over that I was hoping for.

As for Abishai, wouldn't it have gone more like:

"They offered me a home. So I-" *foams at the mouth*

[Innis Cabal]

It depends on the point we took him at in the game. He ping pong balled from total zealous lunacy to resistant sullen acceptance to full on wanting to eat Shirubaru's face.

[Ammutseba]

There is no way this character could ever fit the requirements for captaincy. Sorry.

Are there any characters in the 5th division right now, though?

[Innis Cabal]

Is the only person left but they haven't logged two weeks.

[Nicklance]

"They offered me a home. So I redecorated it via a reality TV show."

[Innis Cabal]

I would say, Takeshi's actual theme songs. Darkness Darkness would certainly be the one for his Zanpakuto. Lyrics in the More Info section for both. Alternatively, maybe this one.

[Nicklance]

I'm bored...should I send Cuerva to the Mortal World in a gigai?

[Frozen_Feet]

Or just wait for a while. Lalita will come over to visit when Edward decides to snap out of it.

[Nicklance]

Sure. House Warming Party?

By the way Draken, how long would it roughly take for all the construction and refurbishing work to be completed?

[Mina Kobold]

Hmm, methinks Takeshi shouldn't mention the Hollow plan to Alice. Becoming a monster probably won't make the monster-hater very fond of him.

Although it would be good drama.

[Kasanip]

It is my propose for a new 9th division character. Please offer your advice and comments freely.


岡地 佳紀 Okaji Kaki

Spoiler

Show

Spoiler

Show

Age: 44 (17 appear)
Hair: Green
Eyes: Gold
Reiatsu: Dust, it seems thin and weak, but it is spread very widely around her. Subtle.
Rank: 4th seat, 9th Division (maybe soon to be vice captain?)

Appearance: A short young woman, Kaki seems more like she is still an academy student. Her defining features are green hair and unusual gold eyes.

Personality: A calm and collected girl, she doesn't seem easily upset by things. Maybe she seems a little aloof. But it is the personality of a young person who wants to be seen with dignity and grace. She is very diligent of taking notes and observations, to do paperwork and essay, and seems to often offer an opinion that is older than she looks. She has a strong spirit and determination that is more than she seems. A very straight-laced junior.

Background:

Spoiler

Show

Born in Soul Society, her father is a researcher in the 12th division, who gave her the hanafuda cards that she uses now. She had an uneventful early life, but entered the Academy at an extremely young age. It was expected with her intelligence she would preform well in science and join her father in 12th division, but she was more interested in Kido.

During her time in the Academy, she was a very gifted student in Kido, because of her excellent memory. A recent Academy graduate, Kaki was promoted quickly in the last year due to her strong performance on 12 different assignments, and the recent loss of members in the 9th division. She is considered by some to be a prodigy of Kido, but is overshadowed because of some of some other more famous characters, like the former Kido Corps Commander. Maybe with time, she will earn recognition.

Something Extra:
The powerful and delicious coffee of 9th Division is somewhat famous. It is known to be useful for 13th division members on long patrols, and maybe even in 12th division for the researchers. It is the famous Okaji style coffee, Kaki learned of it from her father, who rarely sleeps with his research job at 12th division. Kaki has learned to make this coffee quite strongly, and though Vice Captain Goto never drinks it, Kaki makes certain that the 9th division building always has coffee ready for drinking.
Sometimes she can be seen to make deliveries to other divisions if there is request.
Where is coffee grown in Soul Society? It is a secret I think.

Something Extra 2:
The hairpin worn by Kaki is changed every month. It is rumored if it is asked about, Kaki will be happy.

Something Extra 3:
The ghost phone used by Kaki is said to be a fashionable style for young people in soul society, but does not suit her personality and job.

General Skills:

Spoiler

Show

Zanjutsu: This is not the speciality of Kaki, though she is training hard to meet the expectations of her superiors. Her zanpakutou's nature makes this hard however. She uses her speed to quickly enter and leave close range.

Hakuda: No she cannot very well.

Hoho: All of 9th division members must be skilled at this, and Kaki is very precise in footwork. She is very accurate, and one of the fastest of seated members, though she doesn't seem like it. For 9th division scouts, it is a necessary skill, and she has good stamina of shunpo technique.

Kido: This is Kaki's other skill specialty from Shunpo. She is very strong in Scout techniques and also Geomancing. Of elements, her choice is normally Earth or Lightning. She is very skilled in recording, analysis and creation of area wards and hiding her presence.

Reiryoku: Her spiritual presence feels very weak, and is not very centered. It is dispersed in the area, which lets her feel around her in a 10 meter radius. If she focuses, she can extend this much further. It does make her difficult to locate, though one simply must guess within the area where she may be.

Sensor: She is, like some scouts of 9th, a reiryoku sensor, capable of detecting, identifying, and tracking spiritual energy over many kilometers. With kido and tools, to be a 4th seat of 9th Division, it is to mean she is perhaps 4th best scout in Soul Society, and of course one of the best sensors.

Hanafuda:

Spoiler

Show

The tool that allows Kaki her skill, it is a set of Hanafuda cards, which she uses with Kido for many things: scouting, creating maps, distractions, divinations, and some others.

Seasons: Of course there are 4 seasons, and are to connect to a direction.
Suits: There are 12 suits of flowers, and they have a month, which is so divided also to season. So it is a 12/12/4 system, and to have 3 suits to 1 season.
Cards: Each flower suit has 4 cards.
In total, there are 48 cards, which also relate to the 48 kido she is very familiar with. Because of such a trait, she was sometimes called nickname "Twelve", but maybe it was a joke for her young appearance at academy too.

Zanpakutou: 燕子花　(Kakitsubata )

Spoiler

Show

In it's sealed form, Kakitsubata is a normal wakizashi. When on assignment, Kaki keeps it on her back. In soul society, it is on her side.

Shikai:
Kakitsubata transforms into the smaller form of a tanto Kaki keeps in her robes.
Abilities:

Spoiler

Show

覚えれ,燕子花! Oboere, Kakitsubata!
The first ability of Kaki's shikai is a memorization power. To point the zanpakutou at a target, it's unique spiritual energy is memorized by Kaki, allowing her to track it across great distances using her sensor abilities and kido. It can also be used to memorize a book, or a location in a very quick period of time. Of course, the information will be eventually forgotten.


掏り替えれ,燕子花！　Surikaere, Kakitsubata!
The second ability of Kaki's sword lets her to switch places with a target within 70 meters when she swings her sword. The target appears where she was standing, and she appears where the target was. She can choose freely to use or not use this in a sword strke. The target object or person must weigh at least half of her weight (so she cannot switch with a notebook or something like this). It is an instant effect. Motion and speed remains, so it does not stop someone moving when switched, just where they are and maybe their direction.

Bankai: Not achieved

[Frozen_Feet]

Okay, I've updated the Story So Far timeline with the biggest events that happened since I took a break. I demand everyone take a look now.

Why? Well, obviously a thousand things have happened in a short period. Secondly, some characters have fast-forwarded more than a week ahead in time, and since not everyone reads all the posts, this is bound to cause some confusion.

So I believe the list deserves to come back in its original purpose: to remind people when things have happened. No, the list isn't very comprehensive, but every player should be able to find some reference point, so they can place their characters on the timeline.

I heavily suggest everyone start working towards getting their characters to Day 18 or 19, in every thread. This should be a good point, as we're at a point where old plot have ended, and new ones are just starting - it's a good opportunity to skip ahead a bit.

[Nicklance]

Frozen, you can drop the movies outing for Aya into day 18.

And any day within the 1 week you could slot in Sayuri finding Aya regarding the encounter report she had submitted to the 1st Division.

[Frozen_Feet]

A sidenote, since it's been bugging a whole lot of people and especially me when I wrote down Takeshi's exploits:

Innis, when you look at that list, you should feel very, very ashamed.

In span of less than a day, Takeshi supposedly defected, took the archives with him, made a warehouse into a luxury hotel, created a falling star above the pacific, created a demiplane with life and massive construction within it, fought with Aya and Shishou getting seriously wounded in the process, and he hasn't even broken a sweat.

Oh, and he's supposedly made the warehouse undetectable too, though I'll be adressing that shortly in-game.

In short, while I guess the actual timeframe hardly crossed your mind when you wrote it all, all that counts as pretty blatant god-modding. In other words: tone it down, will you? Takeshi shoudl've died from exhaustion doing all that. Now, I'm willing to let it slide, since it's already happened and adds to the story. But I reserve rights to downplay Takeshi's power and effort with any characters of my own, should they encounter him. Otherwise, he's unreasonably powerful by all metrics.
