A thought came to me, what would a British (and Irish) Soul Society be like?(I.e. one over the general area of the British Isles(and Ireland!) , so I started converting terms and stuff I've used google translator to get some welsh words, a few are from Norse myth a number are from Welsh myth. In particular Cyhyraeth are death spirits(look them up) I think I may well write a fanfic set in this but, I'd like some opinions from others first. I'm not that pleased with a lot of the converted terms
Races:
Cyhyraeth/ Reapers = Shinigami
Grim Reaper = Visard
Exorcist = Quincy
Liche = Arrancar
Wright = Adjucahs
Wraith = Gillian
Ur-Shadow = Menos
Shadow = Hollow
Demi-Shadow = Demi- Hollow
Ghost = Wholes/Pluses
Poltergeist = Jibaku-Soul or Earth-bound Spirit
Homunculus = Artificial Soul
Rift = Garganta
Shadowfall = Hollowification
Annwyn = Soul Society
Avalon = The bit were the Shinigami are
Midgard = Rukongai
Niflheim = Hueco Mundo
Heavenly Gate = Senkaimon
Bilröst = Dangai Precipice World
Banishment = Konso
Exorcism = Purifying Hollows ( Which makes the Reapers angry at the Exorcist's choice of name)
Shadowstep = Flash-step
Mortal Coil/ Shackle = Chain of Fate
Cero (I can't think of anything cool enough to replace this)
Encroachment
Rift = Garganta
Shadowfall = Hollowification
Sorcery, spells = Kido
Aura = Rieatsu
Hud Enaid/Soul Magic(not happy with this name) = Reiryoku
Meysydd Enaid(Soul Strands) = Reiraku
Rhannau(parts) = Spirit particles
Zanpakutoh terms:
Llafn Ysbryd/ La-af-in Yes-Braid(spirit blade): Zanpakutoh
Torri Sêl(seal break) = Shikai
Dinistr Sêl(seal destruction) = Bankai
In the interests of simplicity the ranking structure is the same as Soul Society's, if somebody can come up with a coherent medieval ranking system well and good.
Visual Differences
Annwyn is medieval in appearance, castles and such.
The Cyhyraeth(Reapers) wear black hooded robes with black gloves, boots, trousers and a shirt(all medieval or Renaissance style) . The Captains wear a suit of armour under their robes, or if they prefer a coloured shirt and black waistcoat. The Armour is light and mainly there for visual appearance. A Captain's robe has white symbols on the back showing rank.
A Cyhyraeth's Llafn Ysbryd(sealed) is most commonly in the from of a cruciform longsword (which can vary in length and be one handed or two handed) or an Arming sword. An Estoc is not uncommon either. Particularly powerful Cyhyraeth tend to have scythes most Captains would hold their Llafn Ysbryd in scythe form.
Exorcists are a bit different from Quincy, they tend to have more sword uses(form swords from Rhannau and then create energy slashes like arrows, as far as I can tell this should be possible under Bleach's rules, like Ishida's Seele Schneiders, see: bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Seele_Schneider )
Most would use high power longbows though.
If there were Bount they would be called Vampyres (If nobody could think of anything cooler)
So if anybody has any ideas or terminology (or can think of some better things than the ones I've made) Speak up... or type up?... hmm...
