I felt it would be completely necessary to do a run down from the BSS members who are wanting join TSRT with an at least partially developed characters. What I mean by 'partially developed' will be made clear in the up coming descriptions.

General Guildlines as to how we we will be Accepting BSS Profiles

  1. Each transfer will be handled in a case-by-case basis.

    - This means that we will be looking at each and every one of the profiles you would like to transfer individually.

  2. Each profile will be scrutinized for possibilities of godmodding, from beginning to end.

    - To clarify, this means we will be picking through your profile with a fine toothed comb to find any instances of powers, abilities, accessories...etc, that we personally as a guild, feel can or will be used as godmods. There is a difference between a powerful character and an overpowered character, and just because an ability is strong does not automatically make it a godmod. Please be clear with just what your powers do to make the process quick and painless.

  3. 'Literacy' of transferring roleplayers will be taken into account.

    - Don't let this guildline scare you. Yes, we will be looking at your spelling and grammar, but we are perfectly happy with you being able to write a two paragraph post with one or two spelling or grammar errors. We aren't looking for perfect English grammar skills, just that you can post at least in a semi-literate fashion.

  4. Characters may not begin with powers such as Shunpo, Shikai, Bankai, Shunko, Hanki and high level Kidou. However, they may be allowed to relearn these powers quickly, so long as they do not exceed to many guild established bounds and have been scrutinized for godmod possibilities.

    - This means, that your character may relearn these abilities quickly after transfer to TSRT, but not until they have been gone over for godmod possibilities. Shunpo, Shikai and mid level Kidou (30-60'ish) will be a quick and relatively painless process if you're willing to put the time into roleplaying out the process of gaining them. Higher level skills will take longer, this is to prevent a sudden influx of exceptionally powerful characters into TSRT with no place for those characters to go or mesh with the TSRT atmosphere of character development and roleplaying.

    Please note, Bankai will not be put on the list of powers to regain quickly. Our standards towards gaining Bankai are more rigorous then BSS, and we'd like to keep that process intact even with transfer characters. (Equivalent powers of characters from different races will be put to such restrictions)

    I would also like to say, that my character, Kirihara Aine, who has been with TSRT for near three years, still does not posses Bankai. She has been given the go ahead for a year, but I have not done so because there has been no good reason for her to learn the ability as of yet. Recognize that you don't need to have the powers of a god to have fun! I've had more fun with Aine's devil-may-care attitude and interactions with other characters then through battling. To this date, I've never, in any of the roleplays I've been in through the years, have had to use her Bankai in battle.


  5. Character history from BSS will be looked over, and will be subject to change if that history contains material that is not acceptable in TSRT's current and past settings.

    - Basically, if your character's biography includes anything ridiculous...like say, them being a god before they became a Shinigami...we will be telling you to remove that portion of their history. The history of BSS is not the history of TSRT, and if your character history clashes with what is already established in TSRT, you will be asked to change it. A good idea would to disregard any current rank status your character has, Captain, Vice Captain, Espada or what not. We already have characters with those positions, and pasts in those positions, please don't try to steal it from them.

  6. BSS transfers will be allowed in through invitation means. However, ten at a time will be processed and settled before the next set is allowed access.

    - Yes, we will only allow about ten BSS transfers in to TSRT at a time. This is so we have time to get those transfers situated, before bringing in more.

  7. BSS transfers may not begin roleplaying with their characters actively in TSRT until their profile has been scrutinized and accepted within TSRT. However, OOC threads are open to them so long as they have already been allowed access to the guild.

    - Yes, you will be on a probational period while your profile is being gone over when it comes to this process. Please be patient.

  8. In the finality of the situation, TSRT reserves the right to deny the use of a character if they are found to be to distant from TSRT standards. The same can be said for those roleplayers that are unwilling to change, or alter a profile to fit with the guild. Mainly if the roleplayer is excessively rude over the process.

    - We are offering you this opportunity, not the other way around. We expect courtousy towards our efforts, and in turn you will be treated with respect back. Any breach of this gives those helping you transfer the ability to stop the process and remove you from TSRT. Note, this will only happen should you be excessively rude.


What we also expect is the use of our own Profile Skeletons which can be found HERE
