Alright, time to draw Elzee as a Hollow.
The question I have then... is how strong of a hollow are we allowed to create?
I'm assuming Vasto Lord is still a special "earned" character type?

I started with an Aduchjas but then I got promoted and told to change it to a Vasto Lorde.
I don't think there are any hard limits but I'd say play it safe mostly because it doesn't actually count for a whole lot.

Except that a Vasto Lord could easily take on a captain according to Bleach Wiki.
Adjuchas seems to be the bulk of the "Arrancar" simply because they are on par with most Vice-Captains and in some cases, Captains.
I'd say if anyone were to RP with you, they should RP accordingly. A Vasto Lord is nothing to shake a stick at and should be strongly respected.
In short... nobody should approach you and think they have the slightest chance at beating you single handedly.
At least... that's how I view it.

Harribel and presumably by extension Barragan, Starrk and Yammy are all Vasto Lorde and they were beaten by Captains. Sometimes with simply Shikai.
This is Vasto Lorde Arrancar no less. Not just a Vasto Lorde Hollow which is supposedly above Captain Class.
Furthermore the title is purely for show. It doesn't actually do anything in this guild.

I don't think it should be used for just "show". I think it should have some baring on how powerful a hollow is...

Hey. I don't make the rules.
We were a year back trying to get something through that would give some purpose to being a Vasto Lorde.
I think it was decided that they should get an extra technique or something that would usually only be available to a Espada class hollow like a specialised Cero.
Of course that's useless to me since I can't actually fire ceros with this character.
I also don't think it continues to hold up.
EDIT: I'll sort this the ******** out.

Pad Chief Hey. I don't make the rules. We were a year back trying to get something through that would give some purpose to being a Vasto Lorde. I think it was decided that they should get an extra technique or something that would usually only be available to a Espada class hollow like a specialised Cero.
Espada class hollows also don't need anything special because they already are in more ways then one. Torrik had a specialized Bala attack but it was only able to be used in his Resurrección form but that didn't make him any better than the other espadas at the time. It should also take more than two captains to take an Espada down (which is more than true). That should be a fair enough of a goal to go for.
I know you don't write the rules and I'm being patient while someone somewhere sorts this thing out. I wonder often why you aren't the one in charge of the Arrancars, considering I see you on more than anyone else. You have a lot of people here who want to play as arrancars and make something out of it and they would have no issue with following you. The past couple of days have been proof of that. So what's the problem?

I agree with Torrik... and I was hoping the whole 'God moding characters' were getting weeded out with time... -sigh- Seriously, doesn't anyone Rp for the sake of Rp; not to over power, win every battle, be the best? Sheesh.

Well. I talked it through with someone. I understand that it shouldn't be all about winning fights. If you've come to roleplay to win fights you shouldn't be here. I'm a strong believer in that too. Don't get me wrong the goal is to make the title of vasto lorde more alluring and more exciting to obtain. PRPs are boring and aren't a real show of RP skill so much as of writing skill. Which is different as I'm sure you know.
Onto the point of causing havoc. We're already at it. Expect incoming havoc. Our formal début is coming. In fact we've had our first fatality already come to think of it.
If you want us to properly imbue that respect for the rank or even allure for the rank of vasto lorde I think we can work on that. That's my main goal because through discussions we did conclude once the rank was mostly for show. People will, and you know this as well as I do, for example pay attention to your rank as an Espada before your rank as a vasto lorde.
The additional skills set I was considering introducing (for example gran rey cero comes as a standard with vasto lorde class hollow) was to make it a more alluring goal for people who do want to live out a power fantasy. They exist and you know this too. Heck I'm a little guilty of it and I'll freely admit that. I don't see why we can't cater to them too? They've got just as much of a right to enjoy RP for different reasons to you.
I also wanted the rank to have more esteem to it. Anyone can stick the words vasto lorde on their profile but I want people who have it to feel like they've earned it. I was going to try and increase the scarcity of it through some method. What do you think though? Is that a good idea? I'll trust both of you to think of reasons why it'd be bad.
I don't know what happened after the past few days though? Did I suddenly become a charismatic leader? Anyway I wouldn't suit the role of leader. I'm simply too lazy for it.
Whatever the case I think I've outlined my overall goals relating to the title of vasto lorde adequately. I'll summarise them here. I want to make the title no longer a PRP affair, scarcer and thus a more esteemed rank and also make it more alluring. I want to make it something not just for show but something that is really telling about the character and the RPer that commands them that you just met.
