| Shinigami So, you wish to role as Shinigami huh? Well just in case you're completely ignorant about the Manga and Anime that Shinigami originate from, I'll let you Google them in your own free time. My job, is to give you as much info as I can on how Shinigami go about their daily business in the RP of this site. Now the first thing you should do is post in the Rukongai as this is where your Character will either be born or if they lived in the Human World before dying, they will be sent here. Depending on where you choose to position your Character in the Rukongai, will depend on what kind of life they had, as the lower numbered districts such as Districts 1-5 are rich and posh and have a lot of influence. Also it is in these districts that the Clans come from such as the famous Kuchiki Clan. However, if you choose a high numbered District such as 73 they will have a hard life fending for themselves in what is more or less a slum. Once you reach 7,000 you are then able to enroll in the Shinigami Academy where you are taught in the four Shinigami arts: Hakuda Zanjutsu Hoho Kido A full list of the techniques are available though you may only learn 2 Kido per week and 2 other techniques per week. You will remain in the Academy until 15,000 where you graduate and are able to pick a Squad in the Thirteen Court Guard Squads of your liking. At 20,000 is where your first release "Shikai" is available for you to learn. Once you have picked your Squad you join them and do basic duties until you are able to be promoted. You can become the Vice Captain of your Squad, though this decision is down to the Captain of your Squad if the position is available, at 30,000. This will give you a lot more responsibilities within your Squad and if your prove yourself things can become even better. Once you reach 60,000 you are more or less at the top of your game and your second release "Bankai" is available. At 70,000 , if the position is available the Captain Commander can appoint you the Captain of your Squad. Of course you still have a lot to learn and will spend the remainder of your career honing your skills and improving all the time. If the life of a Shinigami become too tedious for you, at 40,000 you can take the test to become a Vaizard, offering a lot more abilities and a dangerous life. Be wary though, the test is difficult to pass and if you fail the consequences are severe. Zanpakuto:- Spoiler:
A Zanpakutō is the main weapon of the Shinigami; the Arrancar, and the Vizards. The Shinigami art of wielding a Zanpakutō is called Zanjutsu. Asauchi: - Spoiler:
Is the Basic sealed zanpakuto given to all Shin'o academy Students. There are no requirements other than joining the Academy to obtain. Capable of doing Konso (soul burials) and Hollow purifications.
Shikai - Spoiler:
Shikai is the second form (or first upgraded form) available to a Zanpakutō. To activate it, the Shinigami needs to learn the name of their Zanpakutō. This is not as easy as simply picking a name, for the living spirit of the Zanpakutō already has its own name. The Shinigami must be able to communicate and harmonize with their Zanpakutō effectively, which requires being able to speak to the spirit within its world. - Must be 20,000 Reiatsu - Must post a 1,000 WC learning - Release unlocks 5 ability slots when activated - Shikai release boost: +4,000 reiatsu and +4 to all stats note that this numbers will not be doubled by your class and speciality skill.
Bankai: - Spoiler:
Bankai is the second and final upgraded form of a Zanpakutō. To achieve Bankai, one must be able to materialize and subjugate their Zanpakutō spirit. Materialization means the opposite of getting dragged into the Zanpakutō's inner world: the wielder needs to summon the Zanpakutō's spirit into the physical world. It usually takes 10 years or more to achieve, plus the experience needed to master it. - Must be 60,000 Reiatsu - Must post a 2,000 WC learning - Release unlocks 5 ability slots - Bankai Release boost: +12,000 reiatsu and +12 to all stats note that this numbers will not be doubled by your class and speciality skill.

They command more authority in their squad and may be asked to command missions to the world of the living. -Squad Members and Seated Officers may not travel to the World of the Living unless given orders from their Vice Captain, Captain, or the Captain Commander.

The Vaizard (仮面の軍勢 (ヴァイザード), kamen no gunzei (vaizādo); Japanese for "Masked Army"; Viz: Vaizard) is a group of Shinigami that have acquired Hollow powers. - Spoiler:
How to become a Vaizard:- Spoiler:
Vaizard are a bit different from arrancar. Vaizard have an amazing benefit of having access to one of the largest boosts in the game, as well as an increase in abilities, introduction to cero etc. Shinigami will have two chances to preform the vaizard test. As such shinigami who fail both vaizard tests will lose 20,000 reiatsu, and transform into a Hollow with no chance of ever becoming an arrancar.
40,000-59,000 Reiatsu- 40% 60,000-79,000 Reiatsu- 50% 80,000-99,000 Reiatsu- 60% 100,000-119,000 Reiatsu- 70% 120,000+ Reiatsu- 80%
Can only Apply for Regen if you pass the test to become a vaizard.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Shinigami will have two chances to perform the vaizard test. this simply means the test is run twice for you. You lose 10,000 every time you run the test, so a possible loss of 20,000 reiatsu is possible.
Shinigami:- Spoiler:
All Vaizards start out as shinigami, this means that anything Shinigami can learn so can they. Hakuda, Zanjutsu, Hoho, Kido Arts, Shikai, Bankai, etc. They are also allowed a few more skills will be incorporated. Any questions, look at the spoiler above for shinigami.
Hollow Abilities:- Spoiler:
Cero: Can learn at the price of 1,000 WC to learn. Garganta: Can learn at the price of 1,000 WC to learn.
Mask Boost:- Spoiler:
Stacking: unlike Segunda the mask does in fact stack on top of releases. However in the case of Bankai both the boost, and mask time, are cut in half. Round up for those cases where the boost is not a solid thousand. E.G: 2,500=3,000. 3.5 posts=4 posts. Time Lapse: There is a 2 week period of time that must happen in real life between achieving your 1st mask and then your 2nd mask, then again another 2 weeks in between 2nd and mastered masks. So 14 days in between each, 28 days total. Beginner Hollow Mask: - Spoiler:
- -You MUST have a minimum of 40,000 Reiatsu - Must post a 1,000 WC learning - Lasts 3 post - 5,000 boost - +5 to all stats note that this numbers will not be doubled by your class and speciality skill. - Release unlocks 2 ability slots
Intermediate Hollow Mask: - Spoiler:
--You MUST have a minimum of 60,000 Reiatsu - Must post a 1,500 WC learning - Lasts 5 post -- 7,000 boost - +7 to all stats note that this numbers will not be doubled by your class and speciality skill. - Release unlocks 2 ability slots
Master Hollow Mask: - Spoiler:
--You MUST have a minimum of 85,000 Reiatsu - Must post a 2,000 WC learning - Lasts 7 post -- 10,000 boost - +10 to all stats note that this numbers will not be doubled by your class and speciality skill. - Release unlocks 2 ability slots
Regeneration:- Spoiler:
- Spoiler:
Notes: High Speed Regeneration as we see in the manga/anime is not fit for rp’ing purposes as it is unbalanced. As such separate guidelines have been set up to account for this in an attempt to make the skill more balanced
High Speed Regeneration: The ability of Hollow’s or vaizards to regenerate injuries at a rapid rate of speed. This ability is voluntary, as if they do not wish to heal the wounds the wounds themselves will not heal. For roleplaying purposes clear guidelines about how fast and what exactly can be healed must be outlined. This will outline all one should need to know about High Speed Regeneration.
What can it heal? - Spoiler:
On this forum, what can be healed will be limited. Damage to internal organs cannot be healed by high speed regeneration. As such shots to the heart, kidneys, brain etc that damage the user will remain damaged. Blood does not return, as such blood loss will affect those with the skill same as any other. Skin, appendages, broken bones, muscles even major wounds are all injuries however that can be healed via it’s use.
How fast can I heal? - Spoiler:
Different injuries will take a different amount of time to heal based upon severity. A conversation chart that can be viewed below has been set up for your convenience.
Minor cuts and Bruises= 500 Words Moderate Cuts/Fractured Bones= 800 Words Major wounds/Gashes, Broken Bones= 1,350 Words Shattered Bones/ Severed Appendages= 2,500 Words
Does this strain you? - Spoiler:
Healing will take stamina, causing somebody to feel tired and draining them of energy. Meaning if someone intends to let themselves become cut up simply cause they will heal, their character will become tired from the constant healing. Also take note that blood does not return via regen, so blood loss still affects characters. You are also not immune to pain by any means.
Ranks:- Spoiler:
Vaizard: - Spoiler:
- This is the automatic level that all 'Spirits' that have been infused with the power of a hollow.
Sub Leader: - Spoiler:
- You must be a Vaizard for two weeks - Must have a minimum reiatsu of 80,000 to claim Sub-Leader - If there isn't a Vaizard Leader, seek out a moderator for approval. - Sub-leader Bonus: +5 to all stats note that this numbers will not be doubled by your class and speciality skill.
Leader: - Spoiler:
-You MUST have a minimum of 120,000 reiatsu - Must have been the sub-leader of the Vaizard, unless permission is otherwise granted. - Leader Bonus: +10 to all stats note that this numbers will not be doubled by your class and speciality skill. - Leader Boost: 1 time +10,000 leveling up boost to reiatsu. If you have already gained the 10,000 boost for formerly being a Captain of the Gotei 13 you do not get a second 10,000 boost.
Imperfect Arrancar: Any Shinigami or Hollow that is not strong enough to pass the transformation to a Vaizard or Arrancar become a imperfect arrancar. This is a hollow with a low level of shinigami powers that only last a short duration of time. - Spoiler:
- Spoiler:
Sometimes lady luck just isn't on your side. You pushed her and she responded with a swift kick in the nuts, or teeth for our females. In response you have degraded into transforming into a Hollow before the universe would lock you at this stage, now we shall offer you something more.
FAQ: - Spoiler:
What are you? You are a Hollow now that you have failed the Vaizard Test 2 times, with the potential to transform into an Imperfect Arrancar. After becoming a hollow, one must type out a grand total of about 9,000 Words about their adventures as a Hollow. This can be anything, training, wandering, etc it just has to amount to that sentence count eventually over time. Yes this does count towards increasing your reiatsu, so it's not anything you wouldn't do previously anyway.
What does Transforming into a failed arrancar give me? In all honesty it's mostly plot devices, you are no longer feral. You can think and react like a person with reasoning. It will also give you back a release, that amounts to 9,000 reiatsu boost during and some abilities. However you will only be able to maintain it for a certain amount of posts and the abilities won't be nearly as much as a pure Arrancar can achieve. You will also never have a chance at segunda res, or high speed regeneration, ever, period. There may also be some other detriments that will not be revealed/don't matter at the moment (Fear the LW). You transform into an Imperfect Arrancar, simply fill out the character sheet. You are a Hollow until 9,000 WC then can do transformation,
