The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme

Another round of the CR/Plotting Meme with which to begin a new year!

As always, the meme's open for making arrangements with and between not only current but potential characters in StE; there will be a header under which to comment with potential characters - when doing so, please label with characters' reincarnated names (if decided!) and pre-incarnated names and canons in the comments' subject lines.

For characters of either status, toss up a comment and any information you see please; go on ahead and use this form if you'd like a place to start or take it however you feel -

<b>Character:</b> <b>Pre-Incarnation:</b> [Feel free to write them up a blurb here - especially encouraged if they're a character you're considering rather than one established in-game! Alternatively omit.] <b>Pre-Network CR Opportunities:</b> (Family, colleagues, or mentors/students you're open to player control of? Friends and enemies from here-or-there you'd like them entering things with? Etc.) <b>Open/Wanted CR:</b> (Have you any certain types of CR/dynamics you hope to bring into development?) <b>Other Info:</b> (Anything a person ought to know - any plans for them or things you've wanted to write them doing? Where characters may encounter each other? What they like, what they've been up to, what they do and do not get along with?) <b>Anything Else?:</b> (Anything else you'd like to say?)

Toushirou just recently figured out that he is one. Or is supposed to be/will be one. So he's gonna start paying more attention to death and soul-related stuff because he kinda thinks he should.

Bleach shinigami are basically supposed to have nothing to do with the living at all; powerful ones have their power limited while they're in the Living World so as to not drastically alter the spiritual climate. It's their job to preserve the balance of souls among all the planes of existence -- otherwise the world is destroyed or something big and dramatic like that. When souls remain in the Living World after death, they generally start out as a Plus, which is really just your average workaday ghost. Shinigami find these and can perform a Soul Burial by bopping them on the forehead with the hilts of their swords. This sends them onto Soul Society.

Kind of important that they get there, because otherwise they could decay, lose their hearts to despair, and become Hollows. (Or be eaten by said Hollows, since those things are soul cannibals.) Shinigami can purify Hollows by cutting through their bone masks. This separates the evil from the soul and releases it to go wherever its supposed to. People who were wicked in life will become Hollows a lot faster than your average joe, and shinigami can only purify the actions a soul took after becoming a Hollow. Those who had been decent people would move on to Soul Society. Really evil people like serial killers and whatnot would be on their merry way to Hell.

... Kinda went on there, didn't I? :P

haha yep! Well they're nothing like Death Note Shinigami (since death note ~has no afterlife~) but that wouldn't matter anyway since, yeah, Beyond didn't know about em'. Maybe there's something we could eventually do with serial killers and masks though, since both are related to BB's preincarnation. Probably wouldn't come up for a while though.
