Rants or Something...

[Kamiyama Mito]

Okay, since Saburo-san said we could post our ideas here so I'm posting mine... Just ignore me... I didn't have enough sleep... I just needed to get it out of my head since it's already filled with so much stuff I can't think of anything else... All these are mostly 'what if's'...

Humans
Okay, how about creating specialized task force that act as the U.N.'s anti-hollow and anti-shinigami squad!? They could have like specialized weapons and armour that are specially made to deal with non-corporeal entities and they seem to think are enemies of humanity? A threat to their nations and as such have to be extinguished from existence...? What if human governments are starting a strange new project that tries to bend the fabrics of reality to crossover to different worlds?? What if they are secretly plotting the destruction of the spiritual world to achieve immortality? What if they found out a way to resurrect the dead??

Utopia...?
How about making Germany, since they are the most advanced nation, a Utopia? Gigantic walls isolate their citizens from the rest of the world to prevent them from ever knowing the existence of spirits...? The government has a specialized team of humans with powers to deal with this stuff...?? What if they prevent the entry of spiritual entities in their country by eliminating shinigami and hollows before they even set foot inside? A technological paradise where science is accepted and religion expunged...??

A Dead World...?
What if the war that happened a thousand years ago created a giant scar on humanity...? What if, although technologically advanced, some parts of the cities lay forgotten and now only a wasteland filled with derelict old buildings and things of the past...? What if because of science and the governments' self-imposed nature to 'protect' their citizens, people now live without any sense of spirituality? Where beliefs of the supernatural and paranormal are non-existent...? What if the presence of shinigami in the real world is met with outright hostility...? The world a giant conglomerate that seeks to destroy all spirituality...?

Harmony...?
What if we create Japan as a country where spirits and humans live in harmony...? Where spirits are a normal occurance and are treated the same way humans are...? A more culturally diverse city, Tokyo...? An extension of Soul Society on earth...? Humans deal with their everyday lives with ghosts and spirits...? A world where humans can still live on their marriage despite the groom or bride's death a decade ago?? Humans marrying spirits...?

Hougyoku??
What if the arrancars do not have the Hougyoku? Neither do the Vizards and shinigami...? What if the Espada were tasked of finding or recreating Hougyoku and the shinigami intends to stop them only to find the Vizard killing their ranks...?

Technology...?
What if the advancement of technology not only appears in the real or human world but also in Soul Society and Heuco Mundo? What if some shinigami have laser zanpakutou?? What if some of them even have guns as zanpakutou...? What if they can marry their zanpakutou spirit?? What if the Fourth Division applies new technology to harness the energy and reiryoku used in kidou healing to intensify and to further improve their healing facilities...? What if they created special devices that would trap Hollow souls before purifying them....?

Okay!!! I still have more to rant out about... But I'll stop here! I've had my fill...

Okay, here I go.

Humans: The idea of a more modern world with the Shingami is interesting, but I am rather loath to have too much technology in this. It's a fine idea, just don't go too crazy with it. This is about the Shinigami and the Hollows, with humans caught in between and almost helpless except for certain individuals. However, I would steadfastedly resist any attempts to do dimensional crossovers, thats not what Bleach is about and it would cause attention to be taken away from the main part of the plot. Also, if they know about the spiritual world, I am sure they would understand that they need the world else everything will be destroyed if it goes awry.

Utopia: An interesting concept but I don't see how it would anything to plot really.

A Dead World: Ummm...if I recall in the show and manga, most people didn't believe in it anyways, unless they could see the spirits and Hollows. I could understand the hostility thing but I think they would have put down the incidents as horrible accidents than some supernatural event. People would laugh at anyone who said people with strange powers came down and killed an entire city.

Harmony: An interesting idea, if Japan is a place where lots of the population, if not all, are spiritually active. A Soul Society extension on Earth would work, by recruiting a human corps so to the speak to counter the rising Vizard/Shinigami threat. However, if I recall, once you die and go to Soul Society, you forget about your past life, so I don't think marriages could continue, and marriages between spirits and Humans...I don't know, its a very vague area so we have no idea what the rules on that are.

Hougyoku: Well, considering Urahara, the genius he was, made the Hougyoku, I doubt anyone else could make it again, as it appeared to be a sort of accident and he never detailed on how to make another I imagine, due to its horrific properties. However, if it was lost somewhere in Hueco Mundo and the Espada were tasked on finding it, and the Shinigami discover this and try to stop them, that would be a good plot. Ties into the trying to open Garganta's, which I think Urahara would have left notes on in the Spirit Library.

Technology: As I stated, be careful with this. The show downplayed technology a bit, so as to enhance the reiatsu abilities and stuff like that. Don't go too crazy over it. One cannot marry their zanpakutou spirit, as it is merely an extension of our soul made into another being inside a blade. Also, no. I will resist to the end any "laser" or gun zanpakutous, that ruins the premise and structure of the show completely. As for increasing healing abilities..again, be careful with this ground. And what purpose would they want for trapping Hollows? One, they don't have souls; other Hollows eat them or it is consumed after waiting too long, and they consume other souls to feed the pit where their soul was.

A good set of ideas and a great start, but we have to be careful people. Once I have some time to put down some plots, I will bring them here.

Hehe!! Man, you should have read my first lines... I already said that this wasn't really anything important... ^^ Just some things that I needed to post in order for me to clean up the mess in my head, otherwise my RPs would suffer... Believe me, it happened... I couldn't write well as long as something clogs up my mind... BUT!! You did an awesome job!!! It was really stretch, I know...

Hey, how about this!! Since my scientist Espada has already found a way to emulate the Hougyoku, though the resulting arrancar are considerably weaker and the device only functions properly in a one-tenth of a chance, how about actually having the Espada in possession of Hougyoku, but it has lost its power and they are trying to find ways to repair it!! Then they also believe that the answers are written somewhere in Urahara's past data records in Soul Society!! Infiltration!!!

Or we could just have Urahara alive somewhere...

Nevertheless!! These aren't really important right now since we still lack a lot of members...

I'm kinda setting something up with Hougyoku, already. I don't mind you using the emulated version, but I actually might have an idea about it...

[Sesshoukage Genkaitamesendo]

I like the idea of the espada with their army of hollow infiltrating Soul Society finally declaring an all out war only problem is that will kinda be the end to shinigami hollow war for awhile wouldn't it??

[Sakata Saburo]

I'd rather avoid a direct confrontation like that for a while. Maybe someday, but until then, no. If anything, I'd rather there be a preliminary battle like an Espada leading his Fraccíon to earth for an attack on the Quincy.

Actually, that's a pretty good idea. Once we get more members who have Fraccíon and Quincy, maybe I'll begin it.
