Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
He's still detectable by at least the Quinta Espada when at rest. If he starts to "crank it up a notch" in a fight, he becomes more and more detectable.
His goal would be a.)that even the Quinta can't detect him, and b.)the cloak completely masks his signature until he goes into Resureccion. Maybe make it tougher, too.
Some form of defense against Serazel's Bala, or similar attacks, might be in order as well. Perhaps actual body armor...
Edit: I should note that my intent would be for his progress on cloak designs to be incremental. So his next version will be slightly better. And so on. Probably 4-6 iterations before he's at his goal.

Keep in mind that Serazel's Bala in particular become more worrisome not because of force of impact, but due to persistence and Reiatsu-seeking. So perhaps making the cloak itself sturdier against assault would be a good bet.
I keep getting the feeling that a cloak is an ill-suited form for concealing his Reiatsu, though. Wouldn't a uniform perform better? You could add armor to it.The Void, the Cold Steel, the Just Sword courtesy of Prime32.

Uniform is likely to be eradicated by Resurreccion with each use. Cloak has the advantage of being easier to remove, and can hide a wider variety of physical forms than a set of armor or uniform.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
The outline-masking form of a cloak is an advantage, to be sure.
That said, I tend to think of Resurreccion as operating like 3.5 Druid Wildshape; that is to say, when you change forms, your clothes and such are absorbed, and rendered unusable. Hence no belt gadgets when Vicente releases.
But I highly doubt when an Arrancar's release fades, their clothes are left utterly eradicated.

Yeah, I think Grimmjow might serve as a good example to that effect... I think I remember him dying AFTER Ressurreccion, not while in it. But don't quote me on that.
It's an in-progress thing. He might make it more like clothing once he's closer to perfecting it, but as-is, he feels it's better to keep it as something more easily removed and replaced on the fly.

And I also doubt as much. Seriously, consider the female Arrancar on a mission. If they were successful in killing their targets, they'd have to go home naked!The Void, the Cold Steel, the Just Sword courtesy of Prime32.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
But Luppi's(sp?) ressureccion didn't change his base form by too much, and he therefore had his clothing still. Number 5 did too. The only ones who lose their clothes are ones who have a change in their physical body, such as gaining armor and such. Ones who gain limbs like Luppi and the number 5 retain their clothing.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
I was thinking more of functionality of the uniform. It seems clothes a spirit wears are part of their spirit to some extent - souls come out clothed when they lose their bodies. Similarly, I think when leaving Resurreccion Arrancars generate their clothes from their leftover reiatsu a bit like they do their swords.
But the uniform wouldn't be a 'native' part of a person, and Resurreccion is a rather intense event to go through - it might be the uniform would only be the 'same' as far as appearance goes. I don't think it's guaranteed an intricate device like that would survive undamaged."It's the fate of all things under the sky,

Hmmm. All things considered, Canon Bleach has an example or two of clothes that change their shape a little bit, but it's not by much...

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
If that's the case, my character has to stop and remove his belt, cloak, and probably a few other gadgets before engaging in Resurreccion. That, or say "oh well, it's all gone".
It's selfish, but I'd much prefer the Wildshape route, wherein the gear is rendered non-functional for the duration of the transformation, but returns to normal functionality when he returns to his sealed form. We can handwave it with mutters of "micro-dimensional pockets", but one way or another, I'd really rather not have all his gear ruined every time he doesn't take a minute to dump it before releasing.

Not all clothes are destroyed or assimilated in Resurreccion, mind you. Nnoitra and Ulquiorra clearly have partly the same clothes while changed. It's just a matter of devising a belt that will flawless suit his resurrected form.
Of course, he could devise an unform that way, but it'd be much harder and possibly fit only him. He couldn't, for example, sell one and expect it to work without a hitch."It's the fate of all things under the sky,

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
I think we're almost talking past each other.
I don't need my gadget belt or cloak or any other items I have/will have to function in his release. In my mind, the unique adaptability of such things is a sacrifice he chooses to make for the greater power of Resurreccion.
All I'm asking is that we allow the handwave that it's not rendered useless junk, and instead just enters a sort of "stasis", again vis a vis Druid Wildshape.
"It's magic" is a perfectly fine explanation to me, since we're talking an entire race of shapeshifters who each possess the ability to, at minimum, level city blocks with ease. Saying that his minor tools don't get screwed up when they disappear for a bit while he's fighting doesn't seem like a game-breaker.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
It seems to me that Ressurreccion is capable of addition but not of subtraction. Notice how pretty much no Arrancar ever loses an arm or a leg when in Ressurreccion, though most of them gain shiny new armor. Also, for the most part, all body parts they tend to gain could be added on top without necessarily damaging said clothes.
I don't think it'd be a stretch to allow Vicente's Ressurreccion to transform OVER his clothes/cloak. Specially when you consider this...

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
Right, and I prefer that it just "hides" for a bit. It's easier for me, the player to deal with, and makes just as much "metaphysical" sense as it getting shredded. It's a matter of minor convenience, not some major sacrifice. So the "narrative weight" is fairly minor, at best.
And he can't bloody carry the spares with him, but he might well need the stuff in the belt if he's pulling off the field of battle after re-sealing his powers. Again, mainly a convenience thing for me, the player, as much as it is for Vicente, the character.
Do note that his character sheet already explicitly says his equipment is "absorbed/stored". So I've kind of been running with this idea already, and no one has said a thing until now.
Vicente's plan is, I suppose, going to be dependent on what Draken says.
If we go with "clothes get absorbed", then nothing about his character sheet needs to change, as that is his default assumption.
If Draken rules that they have to be "specially fitted" or they get shredded (somehow), then I will adjust his character sheet, and future posts, to reflect this.
His "plan" will have been in place from the beginning. This isn't an issue of him lacking a plan. If there's any "issue", it's of a meta-level disconnect on concepts.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
The clothes not vanishing was noted to be abnormal, and that was because the hosts were technically still alive.
I don't see how changing clothes constitutes an inconstistency, because Zanpakuto of both Shinigami and Arrancar are without doubt parts of their users' souls, but are still unquestionably separate (and can be separated) from their wielders to an extent.
Considering Tousen could even take his friend's zanpakuto as its own before it vanished, the perceived inconsistency is more about imposing a rule on the work that has never been there."It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."

And that's exactly where I think the narrative weight is - because loss of his equipment could easily be a major plot point. I understand your desire for convenience, but I do think the inconcenience would be more interesting.
In the end, this isn't a major issue. I'd suggest throwing dice over it, but waiting for Draken is fine, too."It's the fate of all things under the sky,

...No, I didn't. Here, I'll quote my post, which is on the top of this page.
Relevant section bolded, relevant word within that section underlined.
As for the wings...*Shrugs* Were I going to do that (which I'm not), It'd just act like a narrow cape, and rest between the wings. Or end up like a long vest/sleeveless longcoat with slots for the wings to go out of.
But it's never been my intent for the cloak to work once he releases. That's kind of broken. And not happening.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
Hey, about other things...
Now that Episode 3 is closing its end and most of the patrollers are already leaving for Seireitei, I'd like to know what people would like to do with the poker night and officers' party.
Since we're in no rush, we can have the patrollers just hang in limbo for the moment, and hope the Ep.3 and the party finish off at the same time, after which we can timeskip Soul Soicety with few days. My own suggestion is one week.
The other solution would be to move the party to an Episode, and timeskip Soul Society to follow Ep. 3 and Mortal World now. Seireitei could then carry on with Karite's Hollowfication plot and other things.
I'm currently waiting for:
Edge; you know why.
riccaru; Akio in Ep. 3
zerkai; Canguro in Hueco Muendo
For those waiting for me, I'll try to come up with something for Sayuri, Nasumi and Hachirou, but currently I'm drawing blanks."It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."

Poker night: Let's just gloss over it. It seems to have kind of imploded for various reasons, so let's just say the Captains had fun, ate food, drank drinks, broke pretty much even in winnings, and went home. So timeskip is fine there.

I support that idea. It's not really going anywhere. By the by, if any of you live in NYC, you missed me....I just got back from a 4-day trip there. Good times...
But yeah, I think we should timeskip to the end of the poker night when they all head home. The VC party will continue, I guess.NarutoITP Characters
