Memories of a Shinigami (Invite Only): OOC

-I'll get Suzu to respond immediately jeonova33. He should be able to post very soon too, he just got a new internet connection.

- Im almost done with my character info. Also I didn't fully understand you post. Will each individual character have their own set event to unlock their shikai(not sure if this is spelled right, it's the name of the form called out. sorry again, don't watch Bleach all too often) and bankai.

- Also, I'm not sure if this is allowed so I'm gonna ask first before I post my character info. Would be okay if I can only unlock my bankai when my zanpaktou absorbs a certain amount of blood? If this isn't allowed it's fine.

----------------------------Edit----------------------------------------------------
-I managed to finish my character profile. I'll work on my RP post now. Also, please tell me if there is anything I need to fix in my profile.

Name: Kuragari Tamashii
Age (of death): 15
Current Age: 25
Birthday: August 7
Birthplace: Karakura Town
Hair Color: Black with brown highlights
Eye Color: Red
Blood Type: B
Gender: Male
Height: 5’6’’
Weight: 120lbs
Zanpukto Name: Tsurugi(Blade of Darkness)
Zanpukto Element: Shadows/Darkness
Occupation: Being Lazy
Shinigami Fighting Specialty: Shunpo
Shinigami Fighting Minor: Kidou
Standard Specialties: Attack, Speed, Endurance
Personality/Appearance:
Kuragari Tamashii was always a slacker. Many people thought of Kuragari as someone who possessed great potential in learning, however most became to forget that ambition. Few people know how Kuragari truly acts or thinks when he is truly needed. One of these few people is Kagaiishi Mitsu. Having grown up together Kuragari showed compassion and understanding when Kagaiishi needed it most. Through those ever changing crushes, to the loss of his parents.

Kuragari may disappoint in the field of academics, or as he shows, but he does not disappoint in the field of athletics. Always made in the top 3rankings of any sport, except swimming, he is known well around the school. Though many people consider these accomplishments as merely showing off, Kuragari tends not to care. Like Kagaiishi, Kuragari has learn to care less of what others think.

Background:
Kuragari grew up in a family he wished he never had. He would be beaten daily, and forced to work excruciatingly painful jobs. Though these jobs built his endurance and muscle, Kuragari always said he could do without them. His father and mother often argue and become drunk, which often leads to long periods of beatings. He hides these facts from everyone and usually blames his bruises and cuts from simple falls from his imaginary dirt bike. Through all these however, he always manages to have a sparkle of hope within his heart.

Thanx Kuradic but I already got a hold of him. ^.^ Appreciate it and I like your profile. I haven't seen the captain around today so... hopefully she'll be around sooner or later. Well... she was on earlier but i didnt see her. T-T Anyway, again nice profile and the captain should be responding to your questions soon.

Hey everyone I'm finally back! Kuradic, I really like your profile and I can't wait to see what you have when you finally reply! Anyways, yeah Jenova reached me in time, but unfortunately I didn't have time yesterday. I'm not sure if I'll be able to reply for awhile because I am dealing with a big virus/spyware problem I got from logging on to the website. I'm accessing TFF through AOL and it seems that it blocked the virus program entirely. I guess won't be using internet explorer to get to it.. I guess. >.<;

What a day this has been...

Don't worry everyone, I'll be able to reply in time for the story to move on.

- Well I was thinking last night of an idea for where the story might go, an arc if you will, when fighting enemies. I was thinking a race of shinigami who wield two zanpaktou. This way when they activate their bankai they are able to combine both abilities. So an example would be like if one zanpaktou's bankai was to turn into a broadsword and amplify their reitsu(sorry if thats spelled wrong), then their second zanpaktou would turn into ice as a shield. This way he has a strong shield, large reitsu, and a broadsword.This is just a thought, but if we do include this idea, it might have to be after we unlock our own bankais.

- Another idea I thought of, though it's not as fully developed as my last one, was if there was an enemy who had a zanpaktou that could copy anyone's shikai or bankai.

-Please tell me what you think of these idea, and if you have an recommendations or thoughts to add in.

>.< VIRUS??? Oi, Suzu maybe its that game you were talking about. lol, ummm well i finished working on our part but i want to dicuss it with you. There's very little dialogue due to the fact that Fukumi doesnt talk that much anyway, but yeah. Just log on AIM and talk to me ASAP.

-I posted my first post in the RP. I hope you like it. This really is only my second time RPing.

-Also please say if you agree with my idea I posted previously, or if you wanna add anything to it.

-Jenova, one thing. Suzu told me how you and him were gonna spar together. Well I was thinking the same thing lol, but I don't mind, you and him can spar. I'll just be your one man audience. But something I need to ask if it's okay jenova, is that me and Suzu wants to be paired off when we need to fight to see if we're worth to wield a zanpaktou.

-Thanks Suzu for telling me how to spell the terms in Bleach.

Well Zanpakto's come in all types, so having one that copy others seems about as possible anything else. Though for a Shinigami to have two Zanpuktos that is another thing. I know there are Shinigami with Zanpukto that are two blades, but what you are talking about is two unique Zanpukto, I believe. Which is another story completely. That would mean having two souls or whatever for Zanpukto's not to mention a lot of spiritual energy to maintain and manage two of them in Bankai or Shikai. They would have to be quite strong, which would be very problematic for those fighting them. But they would probably also run out of steam a lot faster as well.

We can make up whatever we want, I guess, so long as Xeim is fine with it. Though at least for me, I am wanting to stay off of the making new types of Shinigami's and Hollows to fight. Because it is going to get old and boring eventually. Having something original and new would give the RP more longevity.

Andromeda, you just gave me the perfect idea!

Two souls = One body

We could have a group of characters who have two souls within them: One, with the purest of heart, and another that is pure evil. At one point, they could act as our friends while the next they attempt to devour our souls. Or something like that. Idk, it's 12:30 am.

Sounds like the Vizards and Arrancar to me. They are Shinigami with the "evil" hollow soul or whatever part in them that surfaces. I figure you mean literal two souls, because the whole Shinigami and Hollow thing is I don't think is really real souls, but parts of the individual. But I don't understand the Vizards and Arrancar too much, so someone that understands it better than me confirm or deny that to be the case.

-So you wanna come fight an enemy that's not a hollow or shinigami? That's fine by me. But we can just have my ideas as a back-up then. And about the two zanpaktou, Suzu did bring that up too. I guess if we did do that idea, that the enemy wouldn't be able to hold out their bankai too long.

-Also if this is ten years past arrancar, does that mean Aizen and all those shinigami that joined him are dead?

Well, since I'm in the club now I'll go ahead and join. (Sorry for the length, I'm in a bleach club on another forum, and it had to be detailed)

The pale figure has short, black hair that cropped on the sides, leaving only the top with about two and half inches of hair that is usually slicked back.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.

Ok, about you idea for obtaining bankai kuradic, you can get it however you want. Be a little creative. Just don't make that blood it absorbs be from shinigami. But don't let things get out of hand. We won't get our bankai in the academy.

I agree with andromeda. I don't want any of the enemies we fight to be hollows or shinigami. Right now, the only ideas thay will probably be put to use are:

--a group of humans who have develeoped a way to see shinigami/hollows through experiments on captured shinigami/hollows and spiritually aware humans. They invent goggles (or something of the sort) to see them. The humans now want to seize Soul Society for themselves and control their afterlife.

--a race similar to shinigami that guard the "underworld" and send souls to the underworld with their type of sword.

And kuradic, yes, we are going to assume that the shinigami won the war and all of the arrancar are dead.

Also dante, nice profile, however can you use another name besides your username? And please follow the format in my first post. I don't care if you have extra information in it, but at least include everything that's there. And, we don't want to know anything about your zanpukto yet. It's good to have an appearance typed up, but don't post it here. We want it to be a surprise. I'm harping on you now, but we all died in an accident on a school field trip. If you think your character should've died somewhere else, please pm me about it and convince me.

-Okay Xeim, that's fine by me. Well we also, if we do the human idea, need a reason for them to want Soul Society. I was thinking that they would want it so they can find a way to make themselves immortal or something.

-Dante welcome to the club and the RP. Nice character info, can't wait to see what you can do in a post if you can do this good on a simple description.

-For my bankai Xeim, I was gonna make it that it absorbs my own blood. If that's ok with you.

Well kuradic, what they would want would be to control their afterlife. They would want to completely change Soul Society so it would be their ideal "heaven", going on the theory that Soul Society is the highest you can go. Sounds good at first, but there's always a catch...wich has not been developed yet. Perhaps all the shinigami will be killed in the process except for a select few who would act as messengers and such.

And yes, if its your own blood go ahead. It's your existance after all. XD

-Kuradic, I'm perfectly fine with the whole pairing situation, but me & Suzu have worked out other odds that will be out in our next post so i dont think we'll be sparring. At least not yet.

-Also, sorry it's taking a while to post, I'm working as fast as I can on a busy schedule. >.<

If we do the human thing for a little bit we will need to figure out how they are going to go toe to toe with Shinigami. Though they could always just do the reverse and bring the Shinigami down to their level rather than trying to meet them on their level. If we are going the technology route, it might be an easier method. Cutting off their spirit energy or binding their Zanpukto, definitely would slow down a Shinigami.

And one question for you Xeim. I was not sure if you were going to go ahead and post something to interact at with me since I had not heard back. There is not a direct focus so far as what the next thing that is going to have in the academy, as you seem to have a clear idea. But you may be waiting for the rest to enter. I don't know. I had not heard anything, so I was checking in to find out if you were working on something.

I more or less fixed my profile, and I'll throw down a post tomorrow.

Not to be too nitpicky, but I know from Xeim that she had a rather set range of where everyone was going to be at. What I mean is that the age range was like 13-15, maybe a little wider. And she wanted everyone to be from Karakura Town, since everyone died in the school trip. She made be small exception for me, but I was still in Karakura Town. So I don't know, Xeim is the final word, but I figured I'd bring it up now before you got too deep into writing something up.

Well, I hadn't started on anything quite yet, but I was planning on doing so today. The next thing that happens after we register as "shinigami-in-training" is we get put into a room (I'm saying we'll have about 3 roomates, so that's 4 to a room. If you want to be put in the same room as another RP character take it up with the person. Boys and girls in seperate rooms obviously), and get assigned classes. I haven't decided on all the classes yet. I believe there are different rooms for different skill levels, but why don't we have a week together in basic training (molding reiatsu, kidou, shunpo, swordsmanship) then take an entrance exam. The entrance exam will determine what classes we are in. If I can elaborate on this more tell me. Also, I don't believe I plan on doing any big interaction between our characters, though Haruka will see Steph, and they may exchange a few words.

And Dante: Your chatacter's age is fine, but Andromeda's right. I made an exception for Steph because he still ended up in Karakura Town, but unless you can do the same (while including a reasonable explanation of why that is) then you need to change it so you're in Karakura Town.

Yeah, that is fine Xeim. I just figured since I arrived in first with you that I will take the opportunity to give you something extra to write. I'm just going to be following your lead a little bit since you have a better image for the academy than I do at the moment. And you have a clear idea of what you want to do. But I have plenty of things in mind to play with until something begins.

-Hey just posting to see where all the activity in the RP has gone. I hope you all can find time to post so we may move on through the academy, where I'm sure the real fun starts with our zanpaktous.

P.S- I love the manga MegaTokyo!!!

I would have already posted again, but I am waiting on Xeim to post. Though if that takes too long, I'll probably just do the conversation myself and move things along. We'll still need to wait on her to introduce the next stage in the training or what not, but at the least we can make ourselves confortable in the academy. And I guess who knows, cause some accidentally mischief.

Yes, forgive me for not posting yet. I've been having a little bit of trouble writing up something that sounds good. Call it a minor case of writer's block if you will. I was brainstorming while I fell asleep last night however, and I think I'll be able to write something good today. I pretty much know how I want it to go, but I'm having a little trouble "getting into Steph's head."

I'm planning on setting aside a few hours of time today where I just sit in front of a word document writing up the post as well as a basic skeleton of what's going to happen in the first few weeks of the academy. So, I should have something by the end of the day if my parents don't decide to go do something (which I doubt they will).

Ok well... Suzu, I'm sorry if you don't like the post, but I've been waiting for you and I can see Xeims in the middle of coming up with a new post, so I'm sorry guys if my post hardly makes sense at all, but... >.< It was hard for me since I hardly have knowledge of Bleach. But I tried the best that I could. Again, sorry. It shall be posted shortly today.

EDIT: so it's posted now. Suzu, instead of doing a flashback on how we met, I just did that we met like in the present tense. Well... just go read the post. Hope you like it. >.<

-Xeim, are we allowed to become a captain? Or do we have to stay as members of the squad? Also, does our power always have to be weaker then a captain or can we surpass them sometime in the RP?

Kuradic, we will be in the academy for a while, so I wouldn't worry about things like that too much just yet. I feel that it would be fun to allow characters to become captains, and I had planned on allowing that. However, it could become a little risky. Right now, we have exactly 13 characters. Therefore, I can say that yes, we can beome captains (eventually). If more people join, I have to withdraw that unless enough characters are willing to stay below captains in rank. However, if you were to become a captain it probaby won't happen for a LONG time.

But to your other question, I don't care if your power surpases that of a captain eventually, just don't have a "god-modding" character. You can have power to an extent.

Also, my post is shorter then I expected, but I think it will give you all enough information to do at least your next post. I'll try to work out some sort of an outline by the end of tomorrow (wednesday at latest) so that you aren't all still waiting on me.

You do know that you can go and start expanding on things to your liking though. Don't be afraid to explore the academy and see rooms and people that I don't mention or anything. I don't want to tie this down. I want you guys to be able to have fun with this. We don't have strict guidelines to follow here, seeing that the academy hasn't been developed.

However, if you have an idea that would effect all of us (like a class or something) please post it here before including it in your post.

-Well I'm this is a question and an idea at the same time. Will we have different classes on different things? Like shunpo classes and swordsmanship classes? And one other question(sorry if I'm asking too much^^;) will we know about the human threats after we've achieved bankai? or will it simply be once we've obtained shikai?

Ok, to your first question, yes. And I'm working out a list of classes. If there's one you think that should be in there let me know. We obviosuly have one for kidou and Swordsmanship. I was also thinking about having one that explained zanpukto's. I'm just starting it, but catch me quick, as I'm not just going to add on classes like mad XD.

to your second, we'll be alerted of it once we join the 13 protection squads.

Well I got up my post, it took a little longer than I wished. Mondays are always a problem for me though. Anyway, I noticed Kuradic you made a typo, Suzu's character is not call Suzu, but Kaiigaiishi Mitsu. Its a small error, but you probably want to change it to avoid confusion. I knew who you were talking about, but it gave me a double take when I was trying to match him up with his character.

I'm looking forward to the classes. I am already taking some visual liberties and filling out locals in the academy. As I get more of a feel for the academia I will start expanding in those areas as well. Be fore warned that I get a little crazy when I understand something really well. Crazy equaling detail meaning post length meaning breaking forum character limits (which is 50k) meaning double posting. Yeah I've done it. You should have seen me when the limit was 20k, one of Loco's reasons for raising it was me. ^^;

Sorry i've slacking. This post I put should get me caught up.
