Memories of a Shinigami (Invite Only): OOC

[Victoria]

That's just his drawing style. Nobody's perfect, eh? =p
He's not Tite Kubo. XD;

[Azuteor]

@ Lady Rika : Thanks! Yay, Xeim is back! The Bleach RP will be able to move forward, but that also means I have to hurry up and get done with all the pages I have to do. ^^;

@ Evangel : Thanks for your input, haha. It's really hard to stay close to a certain art style without mixing some of your own. Only thing I am aiming for is that I can at least make these characters recognizable in the doujinshi. If I succeed at that, then there shouldn't be any problems haha.

@ Mistress Sheena : Thanks for that extra support. My drawing style will get a bit funky at times, haha.

Thanks for your input! I'll be drawing all of you soon.

[Sinister]

If you look at Haku's profile, you'll see a picture of him at the bottom, Azu. He'd be known by the name "Kuishi Sato" rather than his actual name, though. Also you have a very excellent talent.

I posted, children. Just Haku's side of the story, mind...and I left a little out because it was getting a little long. But if you're confused, give me a little time.

-Sin

[Lady Rika]

Hmm I like that your style is mixed in with the Tite Kubo-ness. I mean its hard trying to use another persons character and such and I think your Ichigo was amazing. I can't wait for the rest as I said before but don't rush yourself! ^^
You said you want a detailed description of everyones character? Including my own? Eh, now I feel bad for you having to draw her! I guess I could attempt to find a picture that looks similar to how I picture her so you don't have to struggle so much!

[Victoria]

Don't feel bad Rika. You're not forcing him to do anything. He does this because he WANTS to... So don't hold back. Hehe.

[Lady Rika]

I KNEW one of you all were gonna say something to me! XD *fake cries* Its not my fault you know how I am I feel bad about everything if I think im making it hard for someone!
Its in my nature.

Oh...and I sent him a PM about what my charrie looks like anyways...

[Azuteor]

I got your PM and I will start working on it along with Omnitense's character. Although, I'll need a bit more information so that the way I interpret your character will come close to how you imagined it. Both of you have given me a picture so I can work off of that.

Extra info I may need:
- design of the guard of your zanpakuto
- color of the sheath
- length of the zanpakuto

(Note: Remember that Gin's Shinso is short and Ichigo's Zangetsu still remains in its shikai state due to the amount of spiritual pressure he has. Every zanpakuto is different, so let your imagination run wild! As long as it is acceptable by Xeim of course)

- accessories that the character wears (gloves, armor, necklace, etc)
- style of hair and eyes

I think that's about it for now. Feel free to add anything else. Here is an example.

Mistress Sheena: Sendo Shino

>_<; I hate doing lineart.

[Lady Rika]

Oh wow thats amazing, I will get the information to you as fast as I can. Thanks.

[Andromeda]

All of the details you need about Steph can be found in my posts or the profile, but I compiled the relevant material here for you. If you want a base image for Steph he would be most easily compared to Hitsugaya, but I think that Hitsugaya is taller than Steph. I don't remember Xeim told me once. Apart from that Steph looks very much like a child and not a mature child like Hitsugaya. He generally has a pleasant expression whether it is true or fake at the time is not much a matter. The exact personal details are below.

One addition clothing accessory is his scarf that he wears more like how Byakuya would, not really close to the neck, just hanging neaty around. It is a green silk cloth with Steph name embroidered in it, but from a distance it would be not be viewable. Its not a large text.

Age: 13
Current Age: 13
Hair Color: Platinum Blonde
Eye Color: Dark Blue
Gender: Male
Height: 4’6”
Weight: 83 lbs
Appearance: Steph is very short, though for boys it is typical that they do not start their major growth until they hit their teenage years. He is still waiting for his growth to begin. So he retains much of his very young childhood features still, a round face, bigger eyes, and small nose. His eyes are a deep blue at times almost pitch black, if you stare too long it feels as though you are looking at an empty shell. He also maintains a very thin body simply due to a high metabolism.
He is often confused for being a girl since he has a high voice and hair that comes past his shoulders. The confusion varies depending on how he is wearing his hair that day. If he leaves it down untied then there are more mistakes than when he ties it up. Because of his features and appearance many of the children pick on him about it. Some of the girls even make fun of him by braiding his hair into two tails and playing tricks on him.

The Zanpukuto is described here in my last post. It is a green sheath and a pink sash, again you can think about how Hitsugaya's is for how it is worn or Ichigo since both have weapons that are as large as they are nearly. But he has a sash like Hitsugaya does. The hilt cloth has the base color of all Zanpukuto, but rather than a standard one color it has two as described here. The rest can be found below, I would guess the length of the sword to be about 4'3" or so. It is nearly as long as Steph is tall, but Steph is pretty short, so it is not much longer than an average sword, with it being probably a little on the longer side.

The cherry blossoms gathered together forming a sheath and held the blade protected in a green metal with a pink sash that connected together at a cherry blossom clasp. The hilt cloth was green and pink twisting around meeting at a guard of gold that curved up slightly forming the shape of a cherry blossom still on the branch.

The blade was returned to its protective sheath and he tested out the feel by lashing it over his back using the sash to set it in place. Steph turned around hoping to see it curious to see how it looked, but stopped shortly giving up. The hilt rose up over left corner of his shoulder meeting near to the top of his head while the sheath ended past the right side of his knee. It was not quite as long as he was tall, but it certainly came very close, not that he was very tall to start.

As for Kagashi, you know his appearance better than me. All I know is that we are all part of the Shinigami Scarf Club, President Byakuya prociding. ^^;

Sorry for not posting here recently, I took most of last week off from the forums due to overtime and Thanksgiving, family and the all. So yeah, I'm back getting caught up.

[Evangel]

I guess i can give you a bit of some expanded info on my char. I've always liked to see what he would look like.

Name: Mugen Tsukiakari (lit. Infinite Moonlight)
Age (of death): 15
Current Age: 25

Hair Color: Red/ Crimson (Styled like a Renji/ Reno crossover.)
Eye Color: Silver (There is a triangular tattoo under his left eye, pointing downward.)

Height: 5' 9''
Weight: 165 lbs.
Mugen has a relatively young appearance, a well-toned muscle build, lightly tanned skin. Mugen wears the standard shinigami robe with a wide and deep v-neck. Tight fitting body, opened arms, opened legs. Under his robes, almost his entire body (extremeties included) is covered in wrappings the same color as his hair.

Zanpukto name: Benihyourin (lit. Crimson Moon)
Zanpukto element: Moon
Benihyourin is a single-eged katana with a long, four foot blade. The hilt is black wrapped in silver wrappings. The guard is also silver. The sheath is also black with a silver cresent moon near the opening on both sides. *I prefer a rectangular shaped quard, the actual design is up to you to decide. Surprise me ^^

I hope this is good enough. If all goes to Xeim's plans, I may have a nother, more interesting character for you to draw later on.

[Xeim]

Hey everyone, I'm sorry I haven't made a post here yet. I had a rather slow connection for a while and was unable to view pictures and decided it was better I held off for a while instead of make a post to complain about it. I have a fast connection again, though, so I get to look at everything now. =D Azu, you're drawings are great! I really look forward to seeing more from you in future. ^^

As for info on my characters, here's the neccessary bits of their profiles. Let me know if you need anything else. I've looked for pictures that looks similar to them before, but nothing matches up or even comes close. I'd really love it if you sketched them. Take your time though. I can wait, and I don't want to stress you out or anything.


Name: Haruka-Hyourin Tokoyami [or Haruka Tokoyami]
(Haruka-Hyourin: lit. distant-moon; Tokoyami- lit. everlasting darkness)
Hair Color: black with crimson streaks
Eye Color: Black
Gender: Female
Height: 5’4”
Weight: 110 lbs.

Haruka doesn’t seem to care much of her appearance though she never has a strand of hair out of place. She has long, black hair that is streaked throughout with crimson...upon joining the shinigami academy, she ties it back into two loose pigtails that hang down her back. She has very pale skin that has led many to believe she’s a vampire...Her large black eyes are, at best, menacing, and make “whimpering toddlers” out of the bravest of people if they stare into them for too long. She has a small nose and a delicate mouth.

Kagemaru: Its normal appearance is that of a normal katana. She wears it in the same fashion as Hitsugaya-taicho, slung across her back by a strip of cloth. Hers however, is black and not Hitsugaya’s pale green. I would imagine it would be entirely dark grey or black.


--------------

Name: Chikai-Asahi Tokoyami (lit Close Sun; Everlasting Darkness)
Age (of death): 22
Current Age: 36
Birthday: February 10th
Birthplace: Karakura Town
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green
Blood Type: B
Gender: Male
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 150 lbs

Personality/Appearance: “He had long black hair that he pulled into a neat ponytail that ran down his back straight to his waist…He had smiling green eyes that seemed to make everything all right, as long as you stared into them. His skin was pale…and, his nose and mouth were delicate, almost feminine, but still masculine enough to make him devilishly handsome.” –Haruka

Datenshi no sae: In its unreleased state, its really just a normal katana. However, released it looks something like this:

http://www.ampg.asso.cc-pays-de-gex..../guandao-t.jpg

However, instead of having the red tassle, it was a golden one tied just beneath the blade.

I would like it if you drew Datenshi in its released state. It be more interesting.

----------

Also, I don't think I'll be able to write another post in the next couple weeks. I'm being overloaded with school work, and its sapping all my energy so that I don't feel like writing anything more once I'm done with it. When winter break comes around I should be able to get something out, though.

[Azuteor]

Kaigaiishi and Steph

Steph looks a bit tall even though I tried to show that there is a distance between them. The random black shades on Steph's hair and scarf were there initially when I the entire drawing was black and white. I just left them there and continued on.

Chikai Asahi Tokoyami

My coloring sucks. >_<; I forgot the tassel on the spear, hopefully my forgetfulness doesn't make you mad haha.


I'll be getting to everyone soon!

[Sinister]

Azu, that's simply incredible... I'll bet, Xeim and Andro'll love it. It's very manga-style. Anyway, it's definitely a gift that shouldn't be set aside. Dammit, lol, I always wished I could draw... And I'd have been happy if I could've done so half that well. Hope to see your character interact a lot in the RP.

-Sin

[Andromeda]

I can see what you mean about the difficulty in seeing the height difference. Though you gave Steph short hair, which he does not have. Apart from that it looks pretty good. It's interesting seeing the two next to each other.

And thanks.

[Xeim]

Wow, sorry I haven't been around in a while. I'm still being choked by school stuffs, so I STILL haven't gotten a chance to work on a post...that'll change after this week though.

Azu, those are wonderful! Thank you very much for drawing Asahi. I hadn't really gotten a good image of him in my head yet, so this drawing (which is amazing) makes me very happy. ^^

I think I'll add these to the first post so they don't get lost in the many pages of this thread. I'll try to keep it updated as you finish drawing characters, but I may be slow in doing so until I get a little more time. ^^;

Thanks again though, and I look forward to seeing more of your drawings.

[Xeim]

Pardon the double post.

I should be starting a post pretty soon. This week, for sure. I'm sorry, Azu for making you wait on me quite a bit. ^^;

Also, it appears that the method of linking to individual posts has changed with one of the recent updates to the forums. This has rendered most of the links in the first post (though some of them still mysteriously work) invalid. I'll be working to fix them, but it's going to be a pain to find each post. I mean, that's why the links are there in the first place...so people don't have to search through this 28 page thread. the search tool only helps so much.

If no one care about the links, then I suppose I'm apologizing to myself, but on the off-chance that they're used, I'm sorry ad I'll try to have them working again ASAP!

Edit

Links that should be working as of the time of this edit:

Haruka
Asahi
Haku
Mahonna
Belladona

if there are still problems with them, let me know. I'll have to fix the rest later, as I can't stay on right now.

Edit2: Azu, I FINALLY just finished reading your posts and found a very minor mistake. After the Mt. Fuji incident, ten years pass before everyone enters the academy. Other then that it looks great, and I'll probably start my post in just a minute. I'll be sure to run it all by you before I put it up.

if you have anything you want in it, be sure to PM/email/IM me about it.

Edit3: Links to Miru, Steph, and Kagashi should also be working.

[Azuteor]

Gah! I didn't realize you posted! I'll make sure to fix the mistake. As for the post I'm going to make in response to yours, I'll have to work on it bit by bit as I finish drawing everyone's Bleach OC. I also have to catch up on manga pages and introduce everyone at some point.

Anyways, here is Haruka Tokoyami.

Portrait

Full body

I realized that the portrait artwork uploaded too small than I hoped. I didn't want to make it unfair for you since everyone has a medium to large sized artwork. As compensation... I decided to draw your character entirely. Enjoy!

[Lady Rika]

Wow thats really amazing, as soon as Xeim see's that she is going to freak!

[Victoria]

Heeey, She's better quality than Shino is~ D:
I demand a redraw! XDD

I kid. She's done really well... Much better done than Shino...It's like your style changed completely or something. >_>;

[Azuteor]

I just recently got a new art program that works a lot better than the one I was originally using. Colors blend together with the paint brush and drawing with the pencil tool is a lot easier since it reacts with pressure sensitivity when I use the tablet.

GIMP -> Easy Paint Tool SAI = better experience!

Violet and another artist told me to keep my drawings at 300 resolution and as a .png file. With that advice, I was able to have better image quality.

Don't worry, I plan to do another drawing of Shino. Just gonna have to wait a while so I can finish everybody's Bleach OC. Yours is already done, lol.

[Andromeda]

Heeey, She's better quality than Shino is~ D:
I demand a redraw! XDD

I kid. She's done really well... Much better done than Shino...It's like your style changed completely or something. >_>;

Maybe so Shadow, but yours is also the only one that has been cleaned up. It is also extra on top anyway, its not like necessary to the RP. So should be happy with what you got rather than giving Suzu a hard time.

[Victoria]

...I was kidding, Andro. >_>;
Hence the "I kid".. I was just teasing him. I like my drawing. XD

[Andromeda]

Which was why I was you shouldn't be giving him a hard time (meaning joking around). I know you're joking, but even jokes stem from some truth. Even joking can make someone self conscious. It was unnecessary.

Anyway, moving on. I'm still sitting on the sidelines at this point. What happened to making one post to do everything? I thought that was the whole point of this, not making numerous posts. I thought we were going for a quicker resolution to the final points in the academy days before moving on. I'm a little puzzled why this has changed so much.

[Xeim]

Wow Suzu, those are amazing! Thank you very, very much. ^^ Rika's right, I sorta freaked, haha. You're such a great artist!

I've just added those onto the ongoing list in the first post.

--

Toph, Andromeda's completely right. That post of yours was entirely unnecessary and rather uncalled for. Do not respond to this message, or to his above me regarding this, and try to refrain from making such comments again. If you do, I will ask for it to be considered spam, as your complaints have nothing to do with the subject of this thread.

--

As for posting, things don't really go as planned very often. ^^; I'm really sorry you're sitting on the sidelines, Andromeda. If you can think of anything you might be able to do with your characters for fun while you wait for us, then go right ahead.

Really, this is going much quicker than it was going to, haha. As I've said, I WAS going to make us attend classes on top of everything else originally, but that was cut out to condense things and to make things more fun. So...now people have less to do, they just aren't posting all too quickly.

I can't really do much about the problem right now. People will post when they post, and I don't want to change that. Hopefully it won't be too much longer though. ^^;

I'll be sure to try and write for Haruka in my next post to move her part of this along. I neglected her in my last post.
--

One last thing, I haven't quite finished updating the links yet. If anyone needs a link to a specific character that isn't working, just PM me or post about it here.

[Andromeda]

Since I think you're still on here I'll say that I'm available now for you to talk to me. You left me a IM a while back saying you needed to talk. So I'm available now if you want. Or you can just PM me.

As for posting something else. I can probably make up something. It might be easier to jump ahead again in time though since we are already divided anyway that shouldn't be a problem between characters. So long as you are fine with that. I don't know what I'll do, but I guess I'll come up with something. I could probably explore things between Steph and Kagashi. And I probably can deal with that girl that I added to Steph's side.

You had said something about waiting on the Shikai stuff or something. So I don't know if that would be fine to play around with or not. Though at some point I need to figure out what's Kagashi's Shikai and Bankai are, unless you still remember what they are Suzu. If you do that would save me on having to figure out something.

[Xeim]

Actually, that IM was for some account troubles someone was having that have been resolved. I wanted to try to get it sorted out as quickly as possible, saw you on AIM, and thought you might be able to help in some way. I'll stop there, as it's not quite on subject. ^^;

I have no problem with you jumping ahead again, as long as you don't go so far that Steph and Kagashi would have graduated. I don't quite remember the number of years the academy takes, or if we set a number, but I wouldn't go further than about four years from where most of us are now. As for shikai, if you've jumped ahead in time you're also free to play with that as much as you like. I didn't want to take up a bunch of time by having people train their shikai, so I made it optional. You're welcome to, though.

[Andromeda]

I thought that it was a six year program from what I remember hearing. And we are in our 3 or 4 year depending on who you are, specifically Steph. So it would only be a few more years to graduation. If I play around with the shikai I will be able to have some fun with that. I already had something amusing in mind for that anyway. So I can play with that for a time for a post. Depending on things I may end up pushing things very close to the graduation like being in the final year or something. I had already said that Steph will not be showing any proof of his Shikai until he pretty much is forced to because it embarrasses him too much. He actually will have used much sooner than that, but only in private.

[Andromeda]

This is sort of double post and sort of not since Shadow posted before, but I deleted. Anyway, that's neither here nor there.

I slapped together my post of me just have fun with Steph. So the third and fourth year adventures of Steph are up now. I stopped about mid way through the fourth year. And I figure I will have one more post that will bring things up to graduation. But I'll save that until later.

Anyway, I talked to Shadow and he was fine with what I wanted to use his characters. I PM'd Xeim, but I didn't get a response. I don't think I did anything bad with Haruka, just a lot of comedic stuff. If you have a real problem with it I'll change it, but I'm a little reluctant since I think she fits well into the group. The group is more or less everyone from the start that is still around. And its been a while since they've been together.

I put in a few things of meaning in there that help to make Steph more of a mystery. So not everything is fluff, but it is good fluff I think. Anyway, it was a rush job, but I got it done. Hopefully, I'll see more posts soon.

[Victoria]

I really wish Shino would have participated in that, it would have been fun. But I suppose she was busy with training or something I guess. =P

And I do have to say, I have been kindled! Writing Fukumi's post, now! ...and probably Shino's second half because I don't think I finished it!

[Sinister]

Anouncement:

I'm about to officially start Haku's arc. A dying student has been found by Haku. But he left it there to die and didn't report it. Mahonna saw him and thinks he killed the student. Haku found the Japanese character "Kawa" written in the dirt in front of the dying student. It's the last character in his surname of Ishikawa. Seeing as Haruka is the only one who knows Haku's real name. (I'm not counting Zeno anymore.) He thinks she could be the murderer.

While this arc, probably won't directly affect all of you. You are all welcome to participate to the degree you think best. But, I do have a definite plan for who the murderer is and why he killed. Apart from that you are all free to make accusations and suspicions...ect... Take sides, play Sherlock Holmes...or...anything...
