Gotei 13 RP Character Creation

To Become a member, you must:
- Love Bleach.
- Have a desire to RolePlay on a forum.
- Be a general nice person.
- Have Fun

Now there are some rules to making a character, and here they are, first think of how Bleach characters are. Zaraki Kenpachi, he has incredible strength, and an almost unlimited amount of reiatsu.
However, he cannot release his shikai, let alone his bankai, also he can’t do kidou. So to have one strength, there must be some kind of flaw to add to that.

Rules

1. No God-like characters, no making your characters invincible, it ruins the story.

2. Do not kill off other peoples characters, unless the person gives you permission.

3. Always explain if your how your character manages to avoid an attack that should have killed them.

10th Division

Speciality: Divine Elements

Its primary objective as increasing one’s potential knowledge on the divine elements, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, and also using this knowledge to become better fighters, manipulating more of their specialty and harnessing nature’s power.

11th Division

Speciality: Heavy Combat

Members of this division are hard to stop. Like the symbol of the Division, a swirling cloud indicative of an unstoppable storm, they go one way- forward. Fearless, bloodthirsty, strong, and skilled are just a few words to describe them. They strike fast, hard, and always aim to kill. The ability to take hits and keep moving is what seperates members of this division from the rest of Gotei 13. Their strength lies primarily with fighting skills and not so much with kidou, though a few kidou specialists exist. If it's guaranteed to be tough and bloody, the 11th Division are the first ones to call.
Most of their exploits seem like suicide missions but oddly enough, they have a high survival rate. When in combat, they are professional and take their work seriously but during off hours, they are easily the rowdiest party animals in Seireitei.

They are also known to produce and perform combat enhancing items and objects along with other useful nitnacks that are used in the user’s specific line of work.
The members of the 12th Division are known for intelligence. They have a very acute understanding of the world and are greatly curious about anything they can't understand, making them not only great scientist but also skilled combatants when needed.

13th Division

Speciality: Imperial Defense

Members of the 13th division are intensely trained to achieve maximum strength in all areas. To these people, true, inner strength is second only to loyalty in the hierarchy of attributes. This division is especially close to their captain and are trained from the moment they enter the thirteenth division to achieve their maximum potential.
Because members of this division receive such hands on training from their captain, they tend to be fiercely loyal and leaving the division without expressed permission is likely to be met with death at the hands of other thirteenth division members. The reasoning behind this is that if one is not loyal enough to remain in a single division, how can that person be expected to defend against unspeakable odds.

One day a shinigami came in looking for documents that they couldn’t find in their own database, and he noticed Sakushiro’s reiatsu level, and asked her if she had thought of enrolling in the Academy as a shinigami, when she didn’t reply, the shinigami left with the document.
