| First and foremost, welcome to the Bleach Burning World Role Play Section. If you hadn't already guessed my name is Fabled and I'll be your Moderator/Useful Assistant during your time reading this topic. To begin with I'll give a quick lowdown on how to get started here at Bleach Burning Worlds, though I highly suggest you read the rest of what I have to say before you go off on a rampage. Races: Unless you have never seen a Bleach Anime, or read any of the Manga, or have just generally never heard of anything with Bleach itself, I'll tell you what Races we have to offer: - Spoiler:
Shinigami:
Shinigami tend to be the "good guys" of the Bleach Universe, for they fight Hollows and allow the departed souls of the living to pass "on" to the Soul Society. The Soul Society is a very large place, where the spirits go to (often arriving in the Rukon district) If they are good enough they go to the Shinigami Academy to be trained to become one, and eventually join one of the thirteen court guards, who protect the Soul Society.
Hollows:
Hollows are always seen as the "bad guys" in the Bleach Universe for they are always looking for souls to devour. This is because a Hollow always has a hunger inside them which can only be content by devouring the souls of departed living beings. If you choose to be a Hollow in the RP, you will begin as a normal Hollow, who has just arrived in the desert of Hueco Mundo. There you will fight for survival against other Hollows until you go up to Gillian Rank (15,000 Reiatsu) You will continue to gradually increase in rank until you reach Adjuchas, where you may take the randomized test to become Arrancar.
Vaizard:
Vaizards are Shinigami who have gained the powers of a Hollow. Vaizards were once enemies of the Soul Society, due to them using Hollow powers, however, after the war against Aizen the Soul Society changed its views on this, and even allowed three former Captains to regain their positions. Surviving in the World of the Living, a Vaizard aims to improve how long they can utilize their Hollow Masks which are the source of their new found powers. A Role Player must first be a Shinigami until 40,000 Reiatsu before being able to take the Vaizard test.
Arrancar:
Arrancar, are Hollows who have gained the power of Shinigami (see a pattern developing here?) By removing their masks a Hollow takes on the form of a Human being, usually wearing white clothing, and having a fragment of their mask somewhere on their person. By doing so, they gain "Ressureccion" which is their release (like a Shinigami's Bankai) which increases their power tenfold. Not only that but it gives them access to a load of other nifty things which are very helpful along ones career. A role player must be a Hollow until 15,000 reiatsu before they can take the test to become an Arrancar. Though it is recommended to reach Adjuchas at 30,000 first.
Quincy:
For those who prefer a bit of long range rather than up close and personal, the Quincy race is for you. Quincy use bows, which are made from Reishi (spirit particles) and use them to fire arrows made of the same thing. This race, instead of purifying Hollows when they kill them and sending them to the Soul Society like the Shinigami do. They destroy their souls, which is why the Shinigami hunted them down and almost exterminated them due to them doing the complete opposite things. Upon reaching 30,000 Reiatsu, this race can gain the abilities of the Vandenriech, which are Quincy who have the powers of Arrancar and gain new techniques and abilities along the way.
Fullbring:
This race is quite different to the previous ones, for they are Human the entire time they are used in any form of Role Play. To gain their power, this race usually have an item on their person which holds sentimental value (though of course you can do things differently) When they unlock their powers, it gives them their incomplete Fullbring, which can be anything you wish it to be. From there, your Character can join Xcution, the faction made up of Fullbringers or you may wish to go it alone and take out Hollows by yourself, the decision is yours.
Bount
This race, like Fullbring, are also Human but unlike the Fullbring who unlock their power and usually have a part of them change, Bounts use dolls to do all of their fighting. To begin with, your doll will be around you as a separate entity and the Character usually controls it from a distance in order to remain safe in combat. However, once they reach a certain point, they can "merge" with their dolls, and gain their powers first hand, making them a very useful race.
Togabito
Seen very little in the Bleach Universe, this race offers a wide scope for imagination as almost nothing is known about them. Starting in Hell, the Togabito fights other Togabito whom are less intelligent in order to gain in power. Once 15,000 Reiatsu, they can move onto the next level of Hell, where harder enemies await, and as their career goes on, they move onto the next floor, then the next and so on. Upon leaving Hell, a Togabito must where a mask, and certain outfit in order to mask its presence, or the Guardians who's duty it is to Guard the gates of Hell and search for runaways, will find you and use chains to drag you back down.
Creating a CharacterWith that out of the way we can move on, and hopefully by now you will have some understanding of which race you want your character to be. In order to begin Role Playing here on Bleach Burning Worlds, you must fill out an Application, with all of your characters details. After posting it a Moderator like myself will either approve it, meaning you are clear to begin posting as your character. Or we will tell you what needs to be altered before checking it once the changes have been made, and hopefully approving it then. Character Templates can be found here: http://bleachburningworlds.freeforums.org/character-templates-f30.htmlSimply copy and paste the contents into a new topic here: http://bleachburningworlds.freeforums.org/character-applications-f105.htmlOnce you fill it out with the title as the name of your Character, be patient and a Mod will get round to looking at it hopefully very shortly after you posting it (as we want to get you into the action ASAP!) If you are unsure of anything feel free to pm a member of staff who are glad to help with any queries you may have, or simply look at another persons Application to see how they did it (but please, no copying!) The System and How it Works:Alright, now you hopefully have your Character set up and ready to go, I'm going to explain the system and how it works. As you write you Characters story, doing whatever it is you feel like making them do, you will be increasing your characters strength! (That's right, if your Character has a cup of tea, or even goes to the toilet, your Character will be getting stronger!) This is because the sentences you do increase your Reiatsu level on the ranks. For Characters under 100,000 reiatsu, you can do 9,000 words, with a maximum Reiatsu gain of 6,000 each week. While Characters 100,000 Reiatsu and above can do 4,500 words for 3,000 Reiatsu each week. How is this done?Usually whenever you do a post, you count up the amount of sentences in that post and put the total at the bottom. At the end of each week. (Deadline is Saturday midnight EST) You post your grand total for that week in the Sentence Submission Thread found here: http://bleachburningworlds.freeforums.org/post-submissions-f61.html Please remember to include: Your Characters name, a link to where your posts are, the amount of sentences per link, and a grand total at the bottom. Usually on a Sunday the ranks will be updated, and all of the topics in the SC submission thread will be deleted. When this happens, check the ranks page to find your new Characters Reiatsu under the race you picked at the start. What makes Bleach Burning Worlds unique to other Bleach RP sites?We here at BBW are proud to say we don't have a stat system, which means no fussing with numbers, no prolonged hours working %'s from your Reiatsu level. This means that you only have one number to bear in mind when doing things throughout your RP career. Of course, there will be those who might try and God Mod their opponents, but we Moderators will be quick to correct, or punish where need be, those who attempt such things. This system allows you to use your full imagination, without ties preventing you doing what you want your character to do, SO ENJOY IT! Please make sure to read through the other pages in the Rules and Ranks section for other important information. If you have any queries about anything related to the Role Play, feel free to PM myself or another member of staff, good luck! | |
