Q: What sorts of powers can/should I have for shikai, bankai, bount dolls, fullbring, etc.?
A: There is a list of Banned Techniques in the Rules and Information forum; anything not on that list is fair game. Simply put, be creative. Just be sure to describe your techniques as well as you can.
Q: How does my character become a Captain, Espada, etc.?
A: There are one of two routes that you can take. The easiest, and most often used, is the application route. You apply for the Captain position at character creation so long as it is vacant, and either receive it or are rejected based on your RP sample (at which point you're free to choose a lower-ranking position). The second way is through hard work and determination. By leveling up your character, you can defeat the Captain of said squad, or you can attain Captain-hood through getting the correct rank and applying to be one.
Q: Can I have a hybrid character? Such as Shinigami/Arrancar, Quincy/Fullbring, Bount/Togabito etc...
A: No. All hybrid races are expressively prohibited on the terms that some may make hybrids for the sole purpose of making strong characters.
Q: I try out for a character and magically get MT-2. Does that mean I can have unlimited amounts of AV characters?
A: If you achieve an MT-2 Rank, first things first. Congratulations! Now, The answer to this question is basically summed up as a 'yes,' provided that you are able to roleplay with all the characters you are making. Having a character inactive for some time is okay, but that is only for not-that-strong characters. The more inactive characters you have, the less we will be lenient towards you. So know your limits and keep your character number to that.
Q: Are there limits on how many PT, MT, EL, AD, AD, NV, and BG characters a person can have?
A: You can most likely start off with only one character who's MT, provided you earned it and are in the required position, such as specific canon or Espada Lord/ Captain Commander/ Sin, etc. Most of the time, you won't be allowed to start right off the bat with an MT character. For AV, you can have many characters within the range of AV-3 to AV-0. EL-2 to EL-0 is generally kept for primary characters or strong captains. As for the other ranks, as many characters as you want as long as you are able to role-play all of them sufficiently.
Q: Why can I have only one Captain or Espada? Can I have both?
A: Because this keeps it fair to other players who wish to play as one of the characters, and doesn't line up an entire organization with the same player for those characters. You can, however, have one of both. You may have a key character in each organization, just no more than one.
Q: I want to face claim a character, but I see someone else has already used that exact same character but he hasn't officially claimed him yet, can I claim that character for myself if I post my face claim before the other does?
A: A user who posts a picture from an anime, manga, game, etc. character and does not have it approved in the "face claim" list cannot use the face. So, in this case, first to claim keeps.
Q: How do I level/rank up my character?
A: Submitted threads (outside the PvP area) are the primary way to gain points to put toward stats, after completing them and submitting in the proper thread. here. Once they have the required amount of points for a rank, they automatically gain it.
Q: Can hollows have children
A: On this site, no.
Q: Can Visoreds have a Resurrección like Tosen?
A: No. Visoreds already get stat gains from their mask, which makes them overpowered enough.
Q: Okay, so with bankai and a hollow mask, can I raise one category's max by four, or do they not overlap like that?
A: They don't overlap.
Q: Do I have to wait for my techs to be approved before I make a profile?
A: No. You will need to have accepted techs before the profile can be graded though.
Q: How do I get a Vasto Lorde?
A: By leveling up a hollow up to the rank of AV-1 you are then allowed to make that hollow a Vasto Lorde.
Q: Are constant-release Zanpakutos allowed?
A: Unless you're claiming a canon with a constant-release, no.
Q: Can my character have Shunko?
A: Not unless they have learned it IC from Yoruichi Shihoin or Soi Fon.
Site
Q: Is there a limit on how many characters I can have?
A: Short answer: no. You are the only limit to how many characters you can handle. Keep them within your ability to roleplay and don't just make them and not roleplay with them. Also note they will all need to be made on their own accounts.
Q: Can I put more than one character in a single app?
A: Simply put: no.
Q: Do the Ranks/Levels determine who I would and wouldn't be able to beat in a fight?
A: No, they are just stats that can be used to reference how skilled your character is at something, such as running speed, ability to take a hit, etc. Who you can beat is determined by your character's abilities, your rp skill, and your own imagination.
Q: Can I role-play as someone else's character in the PvP or side plot forum since it's non-storyline?
A: You can do anything in the PvP area. For RPing someone else's character, ask the person who plays said character first and foremost.
Q: Do I have to make a new account for each character I want to make?
A: Yes, we are a one character per account site.
Q: Do I have to show a new RP sample in every application I make?
A: if you already have a rp sample, then for the character you are trying to create, you do not need to have a new sample as long as its rank is lower or equal to than your current highest character class/level.
Q: What are factions and can I start one?
A: Factions are, simply put, where your character fits in, whether it is the Gotei 13, an Espada or one of their Fraccion, or others. You may start one of your own, but it will not be listed as an official faction.
Q: I want to make a random faction and lead it. Does this mean I automatically get MT-2?
A: No. The only factions where the leader starts at MT-2 are: the Gotei 13, the Espada, the 7 Deadly Sins and Consecro. All other leaders must start at AV-0 and work their way up since that is the max starting rank for anyone outside of a Faction. They can be a Faction Leader while in AV-0, but they will not likely be able to start at MT-2.
Q: I really like the site and I wanna help out as best as I can! Can I sign up to be a moderator even though I've just joined less than a week ago?
A: While we appreciate your enthusiasm, we recommend that you spend a week here just getting to know the place before applying to be a Mod.
Q: English isn't my first language, will you take this into consideration when grading my profile? If so will you be more understanding of mistakes while grading?
A: No. The grading we do is heavily based on grammar (which Microsoft Word can help fix) and ideas (which should be consistent in every language). Malapropisms and other problems which arise because of ESL should not deter your RP sample's quality which means you should be fine.
Q: My character has his/her own kido spell they made up, can I use it here?
A: Post the kido here following this template, and make sure the number(s) you want aren't taken. If they are approved, your character, along with any other character, can use them.
Q: What do I do if someone takes a long time to reply in a thread?
A: PM them asking if they plan to post soon. If they do not respond after a week or so, you can choose to drop it if you want. Note that this site has liquid posting, because of this your character will not be limited to just the one thread.
Story
Q: What canon occurrences, if any, should I be paying attention to in the manga for this site's canon?
A: This site is completely AU
Q: How much do I need to know about the Bleach universe to get around well on this site?
A: You will only need to know how things work, general concepts, and other laws of nature (things like that the Dangai Precipate world is the pathway from Earth to Soul Society, souls are made of reshi, etc.).
Q: What are the Deadly Sins?
A: The Deadly Sins are a site specific race and the main antagonists of the Role Play's plot; they are to the Togabito as the Espada are to the Arrancar, except without a technical leader in the traditional sense
