Don't feel embarrassed! It's nice to have such productive members. And thanks for the compliment. ^_^ Yeah, I guess your right about it not dying. It's just every club starter's worry--that their club's going to die.

They haven't said a word about what happened to the Soul Reapers pre-soul society. We don't even know how any of them died. I think it's safe to ay that there probably wasn't a lot of high-tech devices when they were alive, and some of them were probably from even earlier than feudal japan. Since they never talk about their lives, I'm not sure they even remember them. But, that'd be a little strange so I like to think they do.

But, well, Rukia says she's lived about 10 human lives. If you take the average human life as being somewhere close to 100, then Rukia's about 1,000 years old. So, if she and Renji was alive 1,000 years ago then it can be assumed that they were from feudal Japan. Thet're the only ones we have clues about.

However, if the author ever confirms what time period they're from and and decides it's not from fuedal japan and another point in japanese history, then it's quite a goof on his part.
