Now that I have wrote this tot he crew, I wish to let you the the regular members in on what I plan to have in store for you all.


Feiy had previously
Ok, I 'm not going to make a long-winded intoduction to this, so I'm gonna cut it as clean as I can.

I'm here to promote a time-skip. One that I figure would be at least a few years long. I know there are many members and possibly crew as well who are trying to advance personal plots and such and yet, have no chance to actually do the literal advancing through rp.

I do say, that this time skip wouldn't affect combat experience, though I'm sure it would affect abilities to an extent as in giving other members an opportunity to take a break and refine their character relationships, signature moves, backstory, etc. People would still maintain their ranks and such unless you lot choose to make changes as well.

We could also use this period as a slight vacation for us, or even a chance to do some much needed cleaning of the threads.

I'm going to make a thread of this in the main forum (since this is concerning the guild) to see what other members think of this. Because personally, I don't think us as a while can speak for the whole guild.

If this does get accepted, I saw we do this whenever the current plot is completely done. That way, we have minimal complaints and everything will be somewhat easier to manage. By then, we should pick a date and maybe give a day or two to clean up the guild and give people time to give slight changes to profiles to accommodate the change.

Also; if need be, I have no problem managing all of this.

So, give me your thoughts, concerns and comments on this.

P.S.- Doing this would also make my plot "Pinwheel" easier to work within the guild, since I had to make major changes to it because of the current plot.


Now to clear up a few things that I had answered in the crew forum... which isn't that much surprisingly.

-The actual skip will last three years.
-This will b effective shortly after the plot.
-give an opportunity for you lot to edit minor information to your character (Namely age, personality, experiences, relationships, and ranking if your superior wishes to do so during this time)
-The duration of this time skip will last hopefully a few days in real time, it'll be spent cleaning up the guild and making it look less cluttered.
- For those of you who know of "Pinwheel", it will be begin immediately after this skip.
- If this gets accepted, there will be a thread on the mainpage, concerning any updates concerning the guild itself and the guild timeline.



If you have any more questions or comments concerning this, feel free to ask away. I'll answer to the best of my ability.

There will be a poll, I'll keep it open until the 14th.
Also, the crew already seems to favor this already for a multitude of reasons, but I wiah for the final say to made by all of you since this affects the guild greatly.

For arrancar, would the ones with the numbers between 11-99 (I think those are the numbers that measure the lower level arrancars age...I could be wrong) change their number?
(Ex: Before Time Skip: number 89, Time Skip: 86)
Or would it just stay that way?
( I hope I didn't as in a confusing way...^^; )

I know it doesn't determine age, but just rank. To be safe, ask Triox about that to be totally sure because I don't know if 11-99 has any set rankings.
PostPosted: Mon Feb 09, 2009 5:22 pm


But those numbers DO determine age. xD 11 is the oldest. 99 is the youngest.

Do they?
Well then I guess that would apply then.
PostPosted: Mon Feb 09, 2009 5:59 pm


Okay then number 89 Rakey would be 86....*feels old even though the numbers mean she's young*
Urg...

I may be wrong, but I think those numbers determine age, in the sense of the order in which they were "spawned"... Meaning that an Arrancar #89 would have been born before #88 and prior to #90. So as years pass, that arrancar would still remain #89. He/she would be older, but regardless that fact he/she would still have been born at that "rank".

Is like having an older brother and a younger sister. If years passed, you would be older indeed, but your brother would still be older than you and your sister would still be younger... Did I made my point clear?
PostPosted: Mon Feb 09, 2009 8:53 pm


I see what our saying...yes they do determine age, and I guess you may be right about the numbers not changing.
Though you have just a few mistakes in your post,
89 would've been born after 88 not before.
Also 89 would be prior(I think in your post but I think you meant after) to 90.
So from youngest to oldest it would be...
90,89,88...etcetc

@Au3: HEHE xp I did messed up since prior is synonym to before... But hey!!! Cut me some slack!

It's 5 a.m. here, and I'm cramming for an Exam I have after tomorrow - rather after today, since it's past midnight. So my brain functions aren't at their best!... sweatdrop

The message carried through though, so it's all good!!! xd

EDIT: Also think of it this way: Arrancars from 1-10 are ranked by power, and 11-100 age, correct? So an Arrancar whose number was 11, after a year have gone by, he would become an Espada!!! eek What would happen to the Espada? Become a Privaron? xp It wouldn't make any sense, since Espadas are rated by power and not age, and Privaron are no longer Espada due to the fact that they were replaced by a more powerful one, an not an older one...

Three years is not that drastic. Your character would be more or less the same, just slightly older.What happens to your rpc is completely up to you.

Hell, if you could figure out a way to be in stasis, you could stay being 15.

Her whole current situation changes due to being out of school.

What is stasis?

Think freezing yourself, then unfreezing after a period of time. Your bodies' aging process would be borderline halted and you physically and mentally be the same even as time passed on.

Though when it comes to stasis, you don't have to freeze yourself literally, just finding a means to slow down the aging process.

If you have ties to the shinigami, I'm sure they can "help" you figure something out.
PostPosted: Mon Feb 09, 2009 9:56 pm


Considering she's spoken to a grand total of 2 shinigami, has ties with neither, and has no resources to do anything, that's out.

Screw it.
May as well make her a recluse or kill her.

Stasis in a sense can also be (reached? obtained?) by traveling at light speed. You could find a way to get a hold of some technology Maxi might have "dropped" (pre-arranged with him of course) and then travel at light-speed for the three year time jump. It wouldn't require much RPing.
