[FF Ace Cid]

Patience, used to have it, guess I should get back in the habit.

Cool, I'm in! I would love to join the RP, I just need to come up with a character first, and as for all that other stuff you mentioned, I'll leave it for you to take care of at your own convenience. Once again, thanks for the membership.

Updated character strength ranking list

(From strongest to weakest)
(Soul Society characters are assumed to have their limits released)
(All characters are at their current manga strength)
(Characters in parentheses are ambiguous in placement, but are placed in probable spot)
(Color-coded. Green for 'The Good Guys', Red for 'The Bad Guys', and black for unaligned characters)

1. (Orihime - Can undo things. Aizen describes it as an ability that infringes upon the gods) As for physical combat ability, she belongs in rank 26.
2. (King of Soul Society. Hasn’t been seen or described in detail yet. Probably very strong.)
   
3. Quincy Final Form Uryu - Enhances the quincy ability of absorbing spirit energy to the point of deconstructing objects made of spirit particles. Uryu claims his speed technique is better than (typical) shinigami flash steps, Mayuri's flash steps are better than Uryu's speed technique, and Quincy Final Form Uryu's speed is remarkably faster than Mayuri's speed. Quincy final form is also strong enough to kill Mayuri's bankai in a single shot. However, unless Uryu comes into possession of another Sanrei glove, we won't be seeing this form again. (But then, he'd either be powerless forever or have to go through the nearly-lethal method of reaquiring quincy powers)
   
4. Aizen, inarguably the strongest character. He claims to be at least twice as strong as any current Soul Society captain, and this is evidenced by his ability to force Espada to drop to their knees simply by focusing his reiatsu. That, on top of his zanpakuto ability.
   
5. High ranked Espada: Ranks 1 – 4. The only one of these four seen in battle so far is Ulquiorra,
   SPOILER!!:

   and during his battle with Ichigo, without releasing or even using his zanpakuto, he brushes off Vizard Hollow Ichigo’s attacks, ultimately takes damage only to his outfit, and then punches through Ichigo’s heart
   
   
6. Vastolorde Menos Hollows
   It is said that 10 of these could decimate Soul Society. Fortunately, only a small handful can exist at a time given the massive hollow cannibalism required to create one. (And it is implied that all of them have been converted into arrancar. Likely to be the top 4 ranked Espada. Near-confirmed that Ulquiorra was a Vastolorde.
   
7. (Ichimaru, Tosen)
   • Ichimaru’s strength was never really shown, but he’s strong enough to have been confident enough to defect.
   • Tosen has undergone enough of a strength increase
     SPOILER!!:

     to have easily severed Grimmjow’s arm
   
   
8. Hollow Ichigo (2 variations)
   • Berserker Hollow Ichigo – Controlled by the inner hollow. Can ignore injuries.
     SPOILER!!:

     If Ichigo remains in this form for an adequate amount of time, Ichigo fully transforms into a hollow (Monstrous form, hollow hole, etc. See episode 125).
   • Vizard Hollow Ichigo – Weaker than Berserker Hollow Ichigo, despite the power coming from the same place. Ichigo does not have extensive training with his hollow powers, and never uses them; he just relies on the strength/speed boosts.
   
   
9. Strongest Soul Society captains: Yamamoto, Shunsui, Ukitake, Zaraki.
   • Yamamoto’s strength has never been shown in detail, and it is known that his zanpakuto is the strongest attack-wise, oldest, and strongest fire-element zanpakuto.
   • Shunsui’s and Ukitake’s strengths have never been shown either. With the only two double-zanpakutos, and Yamamoto’s testament that they are among Soul Society’s strongest captains hints at their strength. They were also able to fare well in a fight against Yamamoto, shown by their relative lack of injuries.
   • Zaraki. His zanpakuto, despite him not knowing the name, was forced into shikai by his sheer power. Although it’s shikai, Zaraki can’t access its abilities without its name. One of the strongest captains, even before he removes his energy-parasite eyepatch.
   
   
10. Middle-ranked Espada, (Urahara)
    
11. Vizards
    The assumed average of the group’s potential.
    
    SPOILER!!:

    Vizard Hollow Shinji was able to overwhelm unreleased (and one-armed, and already inured) Grimmjow.
    
    
12. (Ichigo), Yoruichi, remaining Soul Society captains
    • Ichigo is highly variable, considering his multiple increase potential. He can harmonize with Zangetsu, use the “limit break” ability (where his eyes and aura turn blue). By gaining the Vizard technique of utilizing his inner hollow, he lost Berserker Hollow form as a survival instinct.
      
    • It is also worth noting that Hitsugaya has the same “limit break” ability Ichigo does. He uses it against Ichimaru back in the Soul Society arc.
    
    
13. Low-ranked Espada
    

14. Spoiler: Uryu’s dad and Ichigo’s dad. (They’re strong as hell!) Frankly, Uryu is weak as hell compared to his dad. Strangely, his dad’s bow is made of metal instead of spirit particles. He also has something more akin to a spirit machine-gun: he doen’t have to draw back on the bow to shoot, he merely holds it. Ichigo’s goofball dad was once a captain, FTW! This was hinted at earlier in the series during the Rescue Rukia arc. Watch the dialogue between Ukitake and Byakuya on the bridge (At some point near the retreat of Ichigo and Yoruichi). We don’t know the division, as his outfit has been modified to conceal it. He’s longtime acquaintances with Uryu’s dad and Urahara. He’s recently regained his powers after voluntarily spending many years in Urahara’s humanizing gigai.

    
    
15. Renji, Ikkaku, Momo
    • Renji and Ikkaku are the strongest non-captains in Soul Society, due to their bankais.
    • Momo is among the strongest lieutenants, but Soul Society still has her in an artificially-induced coma or somesuch, on account of the crazy.
    
    
16. Privaron Espada, Uryu, Chad
    Privaron Espada are ex-Espada. Numbers 100+ (Unknown how Privaron Espada are ranked. Likely by either strength or date of getting ousted from their former position. Actually, it would be the same. The newest Privaron Espada would be the strongest, seeing as how they were kicked out last.)
    
17. Fraccion, Rukia
    Hand-picked arrancar from the Numeros to act as subordinates for the Espada. (Most of Grimmjow’s Fraccion were formerly Adjucha Menos Hollows)
    
18. Adjucha Menos hollows
    Certain individuals demonstrate the ability to impose their personal will on the otherwise hivemind Gillian Menos Hollows. This is assumed not to work on sentient Gillian Menos Hollows.
    
19. Remaining Soul Society Lieutenants
20. Gillian Menos Hollows
    
21. Numeros (Average members) (Strong individuals are relocated to Fraccion)
    Numbered arrancar. Numbers 11-99. Numbered by age, 11 being the oldest (or rather, least recently converted into arrancar). Numbers 1-10 are reserved for the Espada. (Espada, by contrast, are ranked by strength)
    
22. Urahara’s crew
    Ururu has been shown to be highly variable, temporarily overwhelming one of Grimmjow’s Fraccion.
    
23. 3rd - 5th seats of the 13 Divisions
    
24. Typical hollows, Ganju, Kukakku
    
25. The remaining members of the 13 Divisions
    
26. Advanced humans (Tatsuki, Don Kanonji)
    
27. Normal humans
