No, not moot because it's not a mission in the sense I was going to use that word for in the Mission system. I'm using the word mission loosely, because I don't know what else to call it. "We are sent on an operation?" That sounds stupid.

Four harder hollows? Huh? I don't remember talking about that. There are three arrancar that are way out of our leagues. WAY.

Soul Society might not be dumb, but they're pretty darn slow. Perhaps I explained myself wrong. They aren't getting gradually stronger, they get stronger rather quickly.

As for Shino and Fukumi: Okay, they can help us out of our predicament, but I was planning on carting us off to Hueco Mundo and I doubt they could get out of there so easily. I can bump the kidnappers up to vasto lordes if it makes you feel better. They're stronger than captains, and I hope you don't plan on making your characters easily stronger than captains after being shinigami for not even a year.

I'm laughing right now. I thought you all would whine about us being too weak for Hueco Mundo, Vasto Lorde/Aduchas, and arrancar, not the opposite, lmao.

This is my arc idea. We're not starting with a character arc, and I don't have enough time on my hands to redesign it. This is the bare outline of what's going to happen. Spice it up if you want. Shino can take on a whole army of vasto lorde or something before getting carted off if you feel like I've insulted her.

Seriously, no arc idea is going to be perfect, and if they followed real patterns of logic we wouldn't be doing anything interesting. But if our characters can single handedly defeat arrancar at year one, we're not going to have anything to do. >_>
