Split Personality
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.



I've never won a fight

my arrancar seems pretty wimpy in regards to most of the others. aside from over elaborate cero and a tail in resurrection she's got no lava ice blasts or anything like that, I mean sure you could theoretically be smashed with a building by her but building smashing has never really been an end all in the world of bleach lol. 3nodding

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.


Well, we all do have our own views on what we want and how we RP our characters. I personally go for realism (at least as far as Bleach goes). Although my character is at the top of his rank and abilities, I'm not going to use him to go and kill everyone off and pick fights. You said first fatality but it's funny that I've killed off a few characters (those with impending bannings anyway) with Torrik back in the day when this place was active. I didn't do it because he was on a power trip, I did it because it had to be done.

Fighting is a part of RPing but so is conversing with other characters, observing, and development. They'll earn new abilities with every rank or evolutionary phase. The best part is, they're up to the character's creator to come up with as long as they're realistic about it and don't make an atomic bomb that'll blow everything up. Hollows also change appearance with every evolution so they'll have the joy of coming up with that too. Those who want power fantasies can have their fun too but I'd hate to be the first one to make fun of someone with supreme power who has only been here for three weeks.

Vasto Lordes should be taken just as seriously as anything else. If anyone ever read the description, they'd know how strong they really are (higher than captain level). Those who slight that hollow form should have an "ignorant" sticker on their forehead. Same for those who don't want to RP as one because they think it sounds weaker than Arrancar. Perhaps in the "Information Archives" there should be some Arrancar/hollow facts so there's no more confusion on that.

Anyone joining as a Hollow character for the first time should start off at least as a Menos class (if they wanna start lower than that's their choice) then work on evolving and RPing in Hueco Mundo or Earth for a while. Vasto Lorde should be the last Menos class they earn and should also be the most difficult- like becoming a captain class shinigami. Make a test or something for them. If they don't pass, they're stuck as Adjuchas for a while. After being a Vasto Lorde for a while, it's up to to the Hueco Mundo leaders to decide whether or not to take the mask off and make arrancar out of them (as I said earlier).
These are just some ideas...

Last few days supplied you with three or more hollow characters who want to RP. They're looking at YOU to help them out because you're the only one here who knows what's going on.

And as far as you go about being a leader, you claim to be lazy, but your attitude and your last long-winded post pretty much say that you have the potential for it. If you're willing to go through that much typing to get your point across, you're not lazy. Your RP and writing skills are exceptional too. So quit with the modesty.

And neither did I. I did it because I was given permission by the author and my goodness did the RPers in that thread use it to their advantage. That's the kind of havoc I'm talking about. Neither am I saying you're a power tripping mad man.

You're right. Fighting is just a part. If I didn't believe that I wouldn't open ORPs where I go cut down trees and take chairs from abandoned buildings. On the subject of people getting super powers in three weeks of being here I can understand. Maybe we should introduce a system where you properly start as Menos. However Gillian make poor characters as they're all just great big black guys in masks. I think if we were going to make a starting point it'd have to be Aduchjas. Normal hollow is too early and requires a massive time investment.

As for people who don't care about the Vasto Lorde form I think your strategy is the right one but a flawed one. Not everyone is going to look at hollow facts sheet because it won't apply to them. Not everyone goes in the information archives either. I for one know I only go there to pick up character sheets. The real point is people will read your rank before your form though. It doesn't matter how ignorant they are that's usually used as the first indication of power.

The strategy should be to beat in the information to look at Hollow Rank before Formal Rank as a show of power.

I think you've given me a good idea though. We could force anyone who wishes to play a Vasto Lorde Arrancar to spend some time as a Menos. As STOCKFISCH said Aduchjas make up the big section of the Arrancar population. Very few people are going to want to play Gillian class Arrancar because they turn out very strangely to say the least.

In fact Aduchjas would probably be a decent starting point. I'm against Gillian simply because they're nearby just clusters of souls and haven't really got a personality yet just a strong driving force from one soul.

Thanks then if you really do think I'm capable. I'll stop being modest.

I didn't think about the helping people as I know what to do though. I consider that as part of my job and I know that if I don't jump in someone else will for me later.

I'm actually quite threatened by your Arrancar in terms of combat potential you know. I think by focusing on hand to hand combat and Ceros you've got something nasty there.

Like jet propelled attacks with elbow ceros.

Glad some ideas came out of it. A menos would be funny to RP because they derp around like nobody's business but maybe that's just an acquired taste.... I didn't mean I assumed you thought that way about me (though mad man, quite yes). I was merely using it as an example. You have a good head on your shoulders so you can figure it out I'm sure. I think you have quite a few of us backing you up if someone gives you s**t about the decisions you make. At least you're currently taking initiative and listening to our thoughts.

To be honest I like some of what you suggested and I'm going to try and get it through. That's all there is to it.

The others are listening. I just happen to be the one online and out of classes at the moment. I have a completely different time zone to them so it's purely coincidence that I can talk about this in depth.

At other times I'm sure one of the others will come on and talk to you about it.

Talk to ME about it? I think you're barking up the wrong tree there. There's not many others I talk to. I'm just a bystander... or something.
PostPosted: Thu Jan 19, 2012 1:57 pm


Well we're all fellow hollow brothers in arms.

We all know what it's like to be completely ignored or considered just the badguys who you can beat up for fun.

Also if you were genuinely planning on super speed cero blast elbow punches you are indeed a glorious person Zavits. Good luck with future ventures.

kicks and face grabs too... though grabs will be short lived probably. 3nodding
PostPosted: Thu Jan 19, 2012 2:03 pm


You could do a Cero Jet Pile Driver. You blast Ceros from your feet and elbows and swing over and smash their faces into the ground.

My god Zavits. Your powers are glorious if I remember them correctly. You can put fragments around that fire Cero right? With a bit of creativity it's brutal. Especially for creating situations that cripple an opponent's movement.

the fragments only fire cero on their own in resurrection . u. and now she has a spikey deadly mace tail. emotion_kirakira

to bad her tactics are severely lacking for making any plans like that XD;; she's pretty much an i punch you person. emotion_awesome

eventually I plan to develop her reiatsu/cero refinement so she can chose to maintain her shape for those fun zappy elbows and kicks and the like . u.
