Game 2 - The Future of Soul Society - OFFICIAL SIGNUP THREAD

Hello, folks. I'm starting the signup thread for the next Bleach game a wee bit early, because in this game you're all going to get the chance to create your own Shinigami.

Your role will be as a cadet in the Shinigami Academy. To create a character, you will have 20 points to begin with to allocate to Strength, Endurance, and Sense. (I'm also toying with the idea of a new Kidou rule that will be keyed to your Sense score, fyi ) PM me with:

* a name for your character
* your chosen starting stats
* alignment (lawful or chaotic? good or evil? or somewhere in between?)
* your character's goal in becoming a Shinigami
* any backstory you'd like to add
* and an idea of what you'd like your Zanpakutou to do.

There will be a rudimentary system of gaining experience points and levels from going on training missions and defeating Hollows and such, and eventually you will be able to unseal your weapons. Your eventual special ability will be a combination of your wishes, your actions, and your destiny (i.e. what you WANT your weapon to do, the choices you make role-playing-wise, and what I, the DM, think is appropriate).

If you do not want to go through all this work, you may choose a pre-existing Shinigami of Lieutenant-level or lower to act as a trainer for the new recruits.

PM me with any questions, and post in this thread if you're interested.

yessum, good sir.

Oi, yeah!

*Raises hand*

Note: Can we submit a drawing for our character avatar?

Yes, in fact, I highly encourage this. And if you can't draw, to try and find someone who can.

Count me in.

I'm definitely interested. I like this style of gameplay.

I want to try it!

How much time do we have to create our character?

Cancel that. End of semester coming up and I should really study. As for the current game right now I probably won't get around to playing it as much as I should so feel free to take over my character or kill them off. I'll be back in two months or so if you guys are still playing then.

Ah drat... that's no fun. See you 'round, Gilga.

@Smythe: So should we PM character concepts up to you? I'm a decent artist but nothing spectacular, so I might just find something that looks appropriate among the various portrait files I have for NWN or some of the scrap art I've collected over the years, unless someone suddenly expresses interest in drawing pictures for everyone. <_<

Yes

I want in. I'll PM you as soon as I can.

Hehe, that'd be fantastic if someone would be willing to do that....
As it is, I'm just going to try my best to draw something that's not too rubbish. =)

ARRGH SO MANY POSSIBILITIES

Creating a playable character is tough!

EDIT: make that "Creating a playable character that I WANT to play" is tough!

Ah, Smythe? Any rough estimations on when this second game will begin?

I'm currently trying to devise myself a decent character concept that's not too boring, too unoriginal, or too 'Mary-Sue' ish, and I'd like to know roughly how much time I've got. =)

(Also, Bellfountain, I only just realised who you are from your signature. That's one thing that's been kinda interesting in this game, trying to figure out which characters are people I've interacted with before, and which are people I've yet to talk to. ^_^ )

I've been intentionally not trying.

Which reminds me... 1. When we finish this game are we going to find out who everyone was? And 2. Are we going to keep our identities secret in the new game as well?

I hope we keep our identities secret. It's a great tool for roleplaying.

I'm in.

I'm going to assume that there are going to be new rules added. Amirite?

This is ganna be awsome.
