Fandom Bleach AU (or based): From the Beginning

[Hanarei]

Greetings! Lately I've had cravings for either a Bleach Roleplay or a world following along the lines of the Bleach world having the afterlife and the lost souls and the struggle to maintain balance. Whether it is following the world or creating a new world roughly based upon it, I wanted to explore the aspect of new characters finding themselves embroiled in the world and really growing within in from being normal people (perhaps taking the idea of high schoolers) ultimately over time to be strong fighters and part of a hopefully evolving world and story.


I mostly want to see how much interest there would be in the idea whether it is using the setting the world bleach world or adapting the concepts of the soul society and things like Shinigami and the like to a more original world (I have no problem doing that myself). I'm generally seeing the idea being a bit more small scale having perhaps 5 or so people playing the main characters (myself included) with each person picking up the role of a villain or other important character as a side role to move the story along. While I don't mind taking charge, I would probably try and have someone co-run the idea with myself due to my own dislike of having a main character being part of a story I am in charge with (I just feel like I'm somehow abusing my power, I blame DnD).


Feel free to post if your interested or if you have any comments or ideas about it all. As mentioned, I really do want all the main players in the story being pretty much novices that grow through the story as the world and story expands. I am curious how many people are like me and enjoy that character growth over focusing on just being some 'macho captain' like a lot of RPs do seem very concentrated on.

Is playing a plus an option?

 

[Hanarei]

I don't see why not, though you would have those limitations as a plus, that and well people might be tempted to try and send you to Soul Society or Hallows to have a nice meal.

It's times like this that I curse my lack of knowledge. I know very little of bleach, though I do know the concept. But I am glad to see that you want characters to start small and grow over time.


*Waves* If you need random character C that knows nothing of the world or anything about it, give me a holler, would you? (Probably not the main cast, seeing as I would be completely unhelpful in relevance towards the story of bleach.....)

 

[Hanarei]

I wouldn't worry too much about not knowing Bleach in full. Being an AU it would work off the base concept mostly. It is just using the setting and the core elements of it. None of the cast being involved, and potentially some elements adjusted to fit the RP.

Looks fun to me!

 

[Hanarei]

Feel free to suggest or add anything if anyone with interest has any input or things they like to explore with the idea. ^^

 

[Orikanyo]

I shall put my interest here.

And stuff.

 

[Rhino Schneider]

Cheese!

ME!


Meh its all good I kind-of forgot about it myself .

 

[Hanarei]

Given the scope of the game player wise, there is more then enough interest to go about doing the Bleach RP. ^^


I am curious what things you all would like involved with the RP and any general things you think could be interesting to involve or what not. Being an AU there leaves plenty of room to change things up a bit from what the series does keeping the same base idea.

I'll be taking a backer seat in this one, already a jonin in the other.

 

[Hanarei]

No back seats here! *Pulls to front*

Though in seriousness, I do plan for this game for us to have our main cast then play the parts of the background characters a bit as well, cause well... its fun to have people to do battle with outside the group to struggle against... whether its in battle or possibly get scolded by.

 

[Orikanyo]

You know what I mean jelly bean : P


Regardless, I have yet to figure out what I'll be doing, so pretty much the sky is the limit at the moment.


Not like I'm not pumping out ideas on my own at every waking moment.

 

[Hanarei]

Aye. The only real idea I had as a basis was the group being generally normal people (or somewhat normal) just being thrown into the world of spirits and hallows and all that joyous stuff. Figuring any Shinigami would be more 'new' in some form coming into play much like Ichigo, though probably with some variation. Besides that I'm figuring along the lines of having Humans with spiritual powers and maybe a quincy or two or really anything simple like that. I'd probably stick away from some of the other element like Full Bringing or what not (though I don't mind if someone wants to adapt the general idea into their own thing).


I'm thinking generally a party that doesn't know much outside the very basics of spirits with perhaps one or two knowing vaguely of hallows though generally lacking experience dealing with them. Perhaps a bit generic anime style of 'high schoolers save the day on the side' granted I would like to lean on the older scale at least given we do that (15+ range likely). A nice flow of time going on through the RP as things progress.


In case your wondering due to my Naruto RP (those from it) I don't intend on doing stats or anything like that here. It is a bit cumbersome and I don't see it being needed, specially with this meant to be much more tight nit group with us all working together to progress the story and have our characters grow. ^^

 

[Orikanyo]

Sounds good.

 

[Nenma Takashi]

We meet again it's been awhile since the naruto rp and now you have a bleach one when I'm feeling some bleach.....GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

 

[Hanarei]

I wouldn't say 'have' one as much as planning it out and seeing general interest. ^^;;

 

[Orikanyo]

Hey, sometimes you don't always need the full picture to start painting.


So we're all being thrown into spirit shenanigans as teens eh?

 

[Hanarei]

Not 100% certain. Figuring probably teens at least starting, probably 16+ just cause I don't want them like super young either if it is the teen route. Me being the sucker for time skipping and all I can see them as college students by the end. lol


Some more thrown then others. I'd assume the likelihood that they all to some extent have seen spirits, granted some might of not at that point, and well given a plus, I'd say thats a 100% certainty. xD Currently I'm leaning towards some catalyst sparking a large influx of Hallows in the town which could also jump start many of the character's abilities and introduce the first real plot and fun balancing out their teenage angst with their new work. xD I like to start it simple much like the show did. It was great for setting a tone, and it also works well to flesh the characters out, granted I am going to work a bit more story into it as part of an overarching plot.

 

[Orikanyo]

Sounds good, I shall plan an exceedingly lazy boy/girl then.


"Oh god theres hollows everywhere!" "Yea.. it kinda sucks... i guess..." "Why aren't you panicing!" "Death comes for us all..." "What?!" "And I've got a big gun." "oh.."

 

[Hanarei]

I thought you were playing him off being all sadistic of sorts "Death comes to us all, we are all going to die anyways why bother?" xD

 

[Orikanyo]

realisticly pessimisticly optemisstic.
