Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
Hey! Sadly, the Kido Corp/Science Division Captain has been taken by myself. We're not doing the traditional Gotei set up so your other idea probably won't work either.
Soul Society is now made into the Gotei 6
Headquarters: Run by Captain Commander Death played by Terry
Internal Security: Zarah has indicated he'd like to make the Captain for this
Recon:
The Shinigami Science Institute/Order of Eibon: Run by yours truly.
The Pack: Run by DiscipleofBob

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
He was, but I am playing the current Vice Captain though he'll be promoted on the onset of the story. Your character could be promoted to the Head Researcher Position, which is the same as Vice Captain. As long as Keveak is ok with that, as he put in his character first.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
Ah, okay. If Keveak expressed interest in Vice-Captaincy, yeah, we'll see what he says.
*shrugs* alternatively, she could be the obligatory Substitute Shinigami, with an extreme Kido focus instead of the traditional sword focus of the Shonen Hero.
Anyway, what I'm thinking for a Zanpaktou is a... lot like a Device from Nanoha with a Cartridge System, actually- she can add 'bursts' of energy to power spells with more force, and possibly shoot fairly standard energy blasts as well.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
I was considering the 'my character's that obligatory Vice-Captain who actually has Bankai', but that doesn't-
*actually goes to read Sawanda's character sheet*
Hmmm.
Okay, possible things that might effect my character:
1. Hmmm... I'm thinking my character (going to end up calling her Hinata, so let's go with that) would NOT like the current reputation of the R&D or the fact that it's well-earned. She'd likely want to change that, to be honest. Thoughts, Tebryn?
2. Obviously, if Keveak wants his character to become the new VC, I'll need to rethink Hinata, and I might just make her a Substitute Shinigami instead.
3. The whole 'VC with Bankai idea'. First, if Sawanda doesn't have Bankai, this needs to be scrapped right away. Second, if we're trying to keep the Bankai numbers down, I won't go against that (although I will note that she will have attained but not mastered Bankai- channeling so much power injured her if she keeps it up).

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
I think that's up to your character. Sawada will certainly have his own agenda that may or may not go counter that depending on how the story goes.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
Hmmmm.
Still, I would like Hinata to have recently learnt Bankai if it's okay. If there's no possibility of that at game start, then she might learn it during the game (she'd certainly start pushing to learn it the instant hostility broke out). Either's fine.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
I think the intent is to keep the number of Bankai way low and for people to get them through the game.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
I know it's been said already, but anyone's character who has bankai and isn't a captain should really reconsider. I know it's tempting to come up with a cool bankai ability because bankai is cool and all, but this game is supposedly low on that kind of power-level to start with. Nothing says you can't plan a bankai ability for later. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a future plot point was some sort of fast track to earn bankai. By starting out with bankai you're only limiting potential for your own character plots.
@Tebryn: I didn't know your character had bankai. I'd assumed that portion of your character sheet was what his potential bankai would be. If Sawada does already have bankai, his backstory should really reflect that.
@horngeek: If you really want to play a Kido specialist, the Combat Corps needs a seated officer to be an expert on combat kido. Official rank would be whatever seat you wanted (AnimeKid already claimed 3rd Seat with his character) and in-game you'd be in charge of teaching combat kido to the troops. If you like this idea, let me know if you want
@Myojin: Obviously he would need some tweaks specific for this RP, like the restructured Gotei 13, but I see no reason he wouldn't work. He'd make a good captain and we need more of those.
@Kasanip: Looks fine to me.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
Okay, I'm now seriously not sure whether to make Hinata a Substitute Shinigami or a member of the Kido/R&D Corps. The personality developing in my mind seems to favor the former much more, and it'd be interesting having a Sub who's far more focused on Kido (to the point of possibly developing her own spells from first principles before she gets formal instruction) than swordplay.

Re: [BITP:R2] Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
So, I made a new character. I've decided, with some reluctance, that Myojin has been through enough, and deserves some retirement. So, here's Dosan. He's (hopefully) a seated in the Internal Security Division, with electric-based abilities. Feel free to be critical, correct me, etc.
SpoilerEiganjo Dosan
Age: 300s (Looks early 20s)
Gender: Male
Height: 6 ft.
Weight: 140
Side: Seireitei
Appearance
SpoilerDosan is decently tall, and slight, but muscular. His slate blue hair is cut to a military-style flat top. He wears the standard shinigami uniform. Dosan's face is chiseled, almost gaunt, but not quite. His most prominent feature are his violet eyes, which look serious, as if he is constantly in deep thought.
Personality:
SpoilerDosan is usually a very quiet man, and thinks for a while before he speaks. This can make him seem nervous, or shy. If he's somehow been convinced to drink, however, his other side emerges. Within a drink or two, Dosan turns from his usual quiet self to a freer, louder man. Dosan actually has a high tolerance for alcohol and it takes him a while to show the standard effects.
Backstory:
SpoilerDosan was born in late 1600s Japan. His father was a simple rice farmer, but Dosan wanted more out of life. He wanted, more than anything, to be a great sword smith. But he also hoped to be unique. Everyone made swords out of the same materials, so Dosan decided that he would travel the country looking for different, better materials to make swords out of. He tested swords made of many different materials, gaining much skill with them in the process. One day, Dosan was out on a hilltop testing out a new copper sword prototype. In the rain. After winning a match with his sparring partner, Dosan held the sword up high, and was struck by lightning, stopping his heart. Dosan was buried on his father's property with the first sword he ever made, one his father helped him hew from pure, white wood.
After his death, Dosan almost immediately joined the ranks of the Shinigami, his fighting prowess gaining him swift entry. While he has not made much of a name for himself, he is fairly well known within his division for his ability to incapacitate opponents with one blow.
Abilities:
SpoilerDosan, while modest, is actually very good at zanjutsu. He is also moderately good at Hoho and Hakuda.
Zanpakuto:
Spoiler
Name: Arashi, The Sky Asunder
Appearance: Arashi's sealed form appears to be a katana with a handle and matching sheath made of naturally white wood. When drawn, however, it's clearer that the entire sword is made of naturally white, unblemished wood.
Shikai:
Release Command: "Charge, Arashi!"
SpoilerAppearance: Arashi glows with electric blue light, and blue sparks dance along the blade.
Abilities: Anyone struck by Arashi temporarily loses muscle control in the area struck, similar to the effects of a high powered taser.
Bankai: (undiscovered)
Release Command: "Tear the Sky, Arashi!"
SpoilerAppearance: Arashi turns into a glowing, electric blue lightning bolt three feet long.
Abilities: Dosan can choose to fight with Arashi as if it was still a sword, or throw it, and have it return to him after it hits something. Upon contact with any part of an opponent’s body, the victim is knocked unconscious.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
The thing is, Kido takes a lot of time to learn as far as we've seen and it's something strictly created by the Shinigami. Meaning that if she was a Substitute she'd need to be quite old, which is more than possible, in good enough standing to attend their Academy and pass said courses. It's not that Ichigo can't do Kido, or maybe it is since it's never really addressed as far as I remember, but that he's just not had enough time to do it. Look at Ginjo, he's been a Substitute Shinigami for much longer and even he doesn't seem to know Kido. If you want to make her a Kido user...I'd say have her stick to being a regular Shinigami with the Shinigami Science Institute.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
*shrugs* Sure, but on the other hand, I'd really like to throw a curveball at the whole 'Substitute Shinigami are all close combat' cliche.
In part because we've been through two of these already and all our SS's have fitted that mold.
She would be older than a typical substitute- possibly gained her powers at 14, and she's 18 now (okay, maybe 12 and 16). She'd have done Hollow fighting, but she quickly realised she's not good at close combat, and she might have seen Kido in action.
Either way I go, she's a genius for Kido (and straight out genius too). So, with four years, yeah, I can easily see her developing a few spells. Nothing more than single-digit numbers in strength, sure, but enough to make her dangerous at her power level.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
Kido Corps is run by Tebryn. HQ is run by me. Zarah is... running something or another, he mentioned wanting to do it. Assault is run by Bob, I think?
E: Bloody hell, I was a page behind.
Hinata will not have bankai. Most of the cast will not have bankai. Most of them will never achieve bankai, as the last game had a problem with BANKAIBANKAIBANKAI everywhere.
Also, hostilities have been going on. At the start of the game, an entire District has been nicknamed the "Scarlet Garden".
Also, current state of the opening for MW:
Spoiler
He watched over the city, his legs dangling off the edge of the tallest building he could find. Eyes roaming the skyline, his lips curved upwards in a small, simple smile.
In this moment, this one, solitary, moment, Shiki Sora was happy. It was a cool, brisk night, and the air was - for once -freed from tension. School was yet to begin, and nobody gave a damn where he hid.
"Hn... No one ever looks up, do they?" He murmured to himself, looking down at his dangling legs.
Although, I've gotta say, I really like the idea of a Kido focused Substitute. A lot.Last edited by Terry576; 2012-09-30 at 01:39 AM.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
In any case, I'm currently thinking that if I go Substitute with Hinata, she'd have been a Shinigami for 4 years (I'm assuming the Mortal World Cast will mostly be students between the age of 16-18, she'll be 17 now). Most of that time was spent working out Kido and doing minor Hollow stuff.
If people say 'no, that's ridiculous', then fine, she's a member of the Kido Corps. But personally, I'm sick to death of the 'Substitute purely relies of Zanpaktou' and I want to subvert the living hell out of it (or dying hell, given the subject of Bleach ). Also, I emphasis 'genius'.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
I've got no ability to bloody write up an opening when 1/6th of the main control is missing.
I can't let Death have a meeting that's randomly missing IS, nor not know what IS does.
I can write MW though.I make avatars. Send me a request.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
So... As long as my three characters are all right, I'm pretty sure I'm ready to go. If any other input/help/etc. is wanted from me, I'd be happy to oblige. My two cents.

Re: Bleach in The Playground: Renewed Revolution (Setup And Discussion)
*nods*
That's the plan.
It helps a little that her Z-pac is a staff in sealed form- a bit easier to block with, but yeah, you've hit one of her major weaknesses. She mainly does ranged battle right now.
She will be working to try and fix that as soon as she can get training, though. Not become a master in close combat- but enough that she can hold her own long enough to get some range and start shooting at you from a distance.
