The only squad that would in any way influence your Zanpakuto is squad 11. No other squad would do that. And no one can really help you if you have no idea yourself considering what one person likes is not necessarily what you like so just naming out random possibilities is just boring and tedious. Comparing it to a portrait though is something i dont really get. No one is asking you to make a shikai or bankai for them this is for YOU no one else so that was a bad analogy really in my opinion. The fact you are asking us to help you fits that discription more. Though is there really no base line you have to start with one?

Ok Tiaga i ish done with the prp ^_^

User ImageMmm... from what I've read, you're looking too far into the conception of the Zanpakuto. You also (my opinion) seem to be afraid to have an idea shot down, which is why you can't seem to pick anything. If I'm wrong in that aspect, then so be it. If I'm right, then I'm going to get some ice cream. xd Regardless, Zan conception is not something that is perfect right away. You have to pick something, anything, and then take it apart, have someone rip it to shreds, and then rebuild it back up. I mean, Hei'z black zan is one that has been in production for two years and it's just now reached perfection in my eyes.

Really, just go for it. Pick one aspect, anything, and make it so. Then we can tear it the hell up and rebuild it. Ne? I mean, this is the only help I can offer since I can't force you into understanding. Because you are right, it is a broad range and different people see things differently. But myself, Dante, and the few rare others that help out with profiles have a pretty good idea of what is h4x and was is not, so we can somewhat limit that broadness.

-shrugs- I dunno, that's just how I look at it. It was never confusing for me, maybe that's because I'm a walking Bleach encyclopedia, maybe I'm just that brain type. Couldn't begin to tell you.

But that's just it. Saying that i'd want something one way or another just isn't me, for i don't know what i would use it for.

I could sit here and make an offensive one for a character who is really defensive, but a defensive shikai is borderline OP.

I used to run into this kind of thing as an art student all the time. People would look at me and say, "CREATE!" and i would just look at them like they were insane. I can't just create, i need someone to say what can and can't be done.

If there was something that said, "The following things constitute a good shikai/bankai" i would most likily have a bit easier time.

It's not that i care about being shot down, i have bad ideas all the time.

I just can't form an idea. I have no bloody idea what to do.

I'm definitly reading too much into it, i'm just like that.

But i guess i'll throw some things out here as just shot in the dark ideas.

If my Zanpakuto's spirit is in the form of a roman soldier, there are two possible themes.

The first is the shield formation, which would be completly defensive. The exact name escapes me at this point, but the general idea is that shields would be placed above, in front, and to the sides of the squad. This granted protection from projectiles, and thus kept the squad mostly intact while advancing. It wasn't very fast though, and if i was going to use this type of thing, i would most likily make it so you couldn't move while doing it.

The second is a more offensive attack in the form of a straight thrust. The point would be that while it lacks a wide range or speed, all of the force would be positioned at the tip. It would pierce things that would normally be resistant to such things, negating the effectiveness of cover or light armor.

Again i'm not really sure about these things. They are literally off the top of my head. I'm sure there are probablly plenty of things that could be in the realm of possibility if i could find my roman field manual.

I don't think there's anything OP about a defensive Shikai. Defensive means their offensive is next to nothing and it balances out pretty well. ^^

"Quit the guild"? What is that? Another language or something? I love this place. It's not possible for me to leave it, unless banned.

Everyone needs a break now and then. I'm watching TV too but I wish I had something to do. I forgot to call about a job - again. I swear as much as I want to work, I don't.
