Ok. I realise there may be some people that visit here that have no idea what Bleach is...
Other than being a chemical that oxidises bacteria, and creates Chlorine gas when mixed with acid... Bleach is an Anime show, slowly rising in popularity all the time.
The idea behind Bleach is that of the Grim Reaper. Every soul is connected to a physical body via the "Chain of Fate". When a person dies, this chain breaks, and the soul travels free, invisible to normal people. Anyone with high spirit-power will be able to see souls, and commune with them, but in humans, this is very rare.
When a soul is free from a physical body, the chain begins to decompose, slowly eating away at itself, until there is nothing left. When this happens, or if the being becomes greatly emotional (mostly angry)... they turn into a creature called a Hollow. These creatures have a hole in their chest, where their heart would be, and most of them have a white mask over their face. Advanced Hollow evolve to have less of a mask, making them harder targets, as there are two ways to kill a Hollow...
The easiest is to break the mask, when this is not possible, decapitating, dismembering, and generally maiming the Hollow tends to work nicely. Hollow can come in any shape or size, some staying relatively human sized, while others can become the size of skyscrapers. Generally speaking, the bigger, the stronger.
Souls cannot affect the world around them, but Hollow's can, tearing through buildings like paper, killing people and eating their souls (Hollow's feed on souls). The only thing that stands in their way are the Shinigami, or Soul Reapers. These wear Black clothing, generally similar to Martial arts attire, and Katana's. Every sword is different, some look very similar, but there are always minor differences, until the owner unlocks the power to transform their weapon to its true form, as the plain Katana is its 'sealed' form.
This form can be anything, from something completely different to a sword - like a spear or bow... to something similar to a sword, like a bigger sword, or a double-edged sword. Others even have a completely non-physical form, one from the series was a swarm of rose-petals with razor sharp edges, that can be controlled by thought.
These Shinigami fight the Hollow, and send lost souls to the next world, called 'Soul Society' by tapping them on the head with the hilt of their weapon. These are the people that you will play as.
You will use the abilities and statistics listed in the Character Creation category, to fight against the Hollow, save souls, and become more and more powerful!
Sign up now, feel free to ask for help in creating a character, but the creation of a sword (called a Zanpakutoh) and its forms (called Shikai, for the first release. And Bankai, for the final release) is all up to your imagination.
