Oh man, I think I'm going to murder my computer. I was working on a nice post for about a half an hour (and I kept copying it so I wouldn't lose it) and my browser quit and I lost the whole thing.....Oh well, starting over...
Here's the Rp Storyline for the members of the Rp. I'll also stick this in the first post.
Profiles: For this Rp, we are going to use original characters. They’re design can be based off of characters from the show, but DO NOT MAKE THEM EXACT. In your profile you’ll obviously need a name, appearance description (include a pic if you have one, but DO NOT USE ONE OF A BLEACH CHARACTER), age (of death), current age, background story of your “life” in Rukongai (include sector number and name if it’s known), zanpukto’s name and element if applicable(though it wont be used till later), and your fighting specialties. NOTE: You can only have 1 specialty in the 4 Shinigami fighting styles and 2 specialties in standard stats. Standard Stats include: attack, speed, defense, health, spells, endurance, spell defense, and healing.
Also, when posting your zanpukto, don’t post descriptions of your shikai, and/or bankai. We want these to be revealed to us as the story unfolds. Make sure you have some ideas in mind though.
Also, regarding the Rukongai background story, if there’s a member participating in the Rp whose character you would like to have lived or grown up with, feel free to contact the member and work something out. You can have lived with more than one member, but don’t live with all the participants please.
Story: We’ll have sort of a prologue where we all are on a school field trip to MT Fuji. After a series of mysterious events that lead to our death, we’ll end up in Soul Society. Part of the story will be solving the mystery of our deaths. Everyone will be scattered around Rukongai and meet up again where the story truly starts- the shingami academy. We’ll spend some time here experiencing the drama of school, taking tests, and meeting up again. Eventually, we’ll graduate and enter the 13 protection squads. We’ll be assigned a squad based upon the stats (shinigami and standard) you put in your profile. Our lovable captains and vice-captains will be present, and the “squad picker” criteria is as follows:
Specialties:
Squad 2 Sofion:
Standards: Speed and Attack
Shinigami: Shunpo and Hand to Hand
Squad 3 Gin Ichimaru:

Shinigami: Swordsmanship

(Thanks for this Prodigy)
We’ll start out as unranked members, but move up through the rankings as time goes on. We’ll get assigned missions, and work right alongside the characters we’ve come to love (and hate).
Intellectual Discussion
Possible Symbolism in the Zanpukto's releases
I don't really see symbolism in all of the zanpukto's releases. There's the obvious ones like Hitsugaya's. "shiro" in Toushiro means "white" or "snow" and he has the strongest ice type zanpukto in Soul Society. But what about Ukitake's or Rukia's?
Debates
Ichigo: arrancar or vizard?
I agree with you Rasler. Though, strangely enough Wikipeda counts Ichigo as a Vizard.
The real question is who should he join? Should he remain where he is, join the vizard, or even join the arrancar.
I believe he should join the vizard. They'll teach him to control his hollow, which would be beneficial to everyone. If Ichi stays where he's at now, he could be consumed by the hollow inside him.
Bleach character equivalents
Hinamori Momo and Haruno Sakura.
They're both happy-go-lucky rather annoying girls who go through life completely ignorant of everything but the one person they respect, love and admire. Then, that person betrays them, and they're hit pretty hard.
What's the name of Ichigo's hollow?
As of yet, I've been unable to find anything solid about this. I have found through various icon searches that a good many people call him "Hichigo." And Wikipedia says this "The title page of chapter 220 depicts the inner hollow with the mirror writing of Ichigo's name." That's about all I've seen though.
Why is Menos Grande that F*cking huge?
I don't know for sure why they're so big but, Menos Grande means "little big." So, seeing that "big" enemies are "scarier" Tite Kubo probably decided to make them big. Not all menos are big though, the Vastro Lodes are the same size as humans.
I'm a little confused over the names of the Zanpakuto forms; I know 3rd form is Bankai, but do not know the names of the other two.
As far as I know there are only two zanpukto forms, not counting the unreleased state which has no name. If you can find somethign disproving this, I'd be extremely interested in it.
Initial release: shikai
Final release: bankai
As if this post isn't already long enough....
We're going to be holding a couple contests in the near future. One that I found particularly interesting was a drawing constest. But first, I'd need to know how many people have scanners.
Also, another was a short fan-fiction contest. Be thinking about what you'd do for that so you can participate when the time comes around.
As for Pictures, are you suggesting we just post random, silly images that we've found? If that's the case:
Bleach Images:
Forgive me. I'm not all that good with uploading pics. Never really had a reason to learn. Suppose I'll get better as timegoes by though...
