[ Roronoa Zoro ]
Very interesting predicament, especially for those of us who heavily rely on our Zanpakuto's. However I have a few questions. You said a zanpakuto will be needed, however, do you mean that it is needed for a zanpakuto? For an ending boss in a sense?
Also, how will the the strength of the monsters be determined? Will there be a list of monsters with their strengths already premade and the number generator simply picks it? Or will all of them be about the same strength? And I would also like to see the monster list, just to see if there are any I can think of and assist with
In this world there is going to be a few important things needed to survive. First is going to be wit, working in teams, and eventually attaining our zanpakuto again. (With a secret twist added to that)
Now I do have the beasts already picked out in how strong they get as we progressively move through the story. I don't have a mega amount listed, but a decent amount with a few extra attachments made. However our zanpakuto can make the beasts stronger simply by the level of power the wielder of the zanpakuto is.
Soldier Zanpakuto - Adds double power
Officer Zanpakuto - Adds triple power
Lieutenant Zanpakuto - Adds quadruple power
Captain Zanpakuto - Adds Quintuple Power
The BeastsRagnu - Simple minded creatures each at the level of a soldier in power, but they are always in a pack of 10 at any one time, with one being a little stronger than the rest, but not nearly at the power of an officer just yet. If at times one is touched by a zanpakuto, it will be much more dangerous in the physical and mental aspect. These beasts reflect that of Earthly Household Cats, but twice the size of the average human. They possess two spiked tails, gray fur, and nearly metallic like claws. The leaders are always black fur.
Badda - Slightly stupid beasts that are known to ram into anything, for almost any reason. When these beasts wish to show they are lonely, they will ram into something. When these beasts wish to show happiness, they will ram into something. When these beasts wish to show dominance, they will ram into something. These beasts are all nearly at officer level in power, and travel in packs of 16, with a leader that is at exactly officer power. These creatures reflect that of Earthly bulls, but do not have horns. These creatures are known for gathering debris from what looks to be broken pavement, buildings, and just about anything they can find so as to fashion a makeshift helmet they create using their nearly magma like saliva. Its nearly impossible to break these helmets without a zanpakuto, and just as impossible to find and adult Badda without a helmet.
These beasts are special in a sense that they can grow in power as well, if a Badda defeats another of it's kind it will take a large chunk of the loser's helmet so as to add it to it's own. A Badda with a helmet covering down it's neck is at the power of a full officers. A Badda with a helmet and armor going down it's chest and upper part of it's legs are about the power of a Lieutenant. A Badda with armor covering more than half it's body is at the power of a Captain. And a Badda with armor covering all of it's power is beyond that of a Captain and very rare.
A Badda has one long tail, no horns, a snout, an opening on it's forehead to help create the spark on it's saliva to make it at magma temperature. (Its weakness and hidden strength) the beasts also has a blade like tongue that can escape from it's helmet to assist it in battle.
A Badda with a zanpakuto in it is classified as a Suicide beast, most of all a full armored one which is a one in a two million chance to find (Will be random numbered, hehehe)
Kibi - A very confusing beast that is known for quick mood changes, pack changes, and alignment changes. This beast can instantly befriend another creature, including the shinigami/arrancar/vizards that enter the world of Blackhole Sun. However it is not known if and when they decide to leave you if they will attack, or just run away. One speculation of these beasts is that they are looking for a true pack to be with, and those whom are not meant for them they will not stay with, but no true answers for this is known.
The Kibi are a reflection of the Earthly Wolf, but they posses two tails, metallic claws, metallic fangs, three eyes (The middle eye on their forehead is known for generating electric bolts), and are the size of a two story building. These creatures have a few different types, the Gray Fur types are at the power of a soldier, the Silver Fur Types are at the Power of an Officer, the Black Fur Types are at the power of a Lieutenant, and the White Fur Types are at the Power of a Captain.
Alphas are only a little stronger than the rest of their color packs, and the posses spikes around their neck, and two horns sprouting from their head.
Travel either alone, or in packs from sizes of 2 to 8.
Teco - These creatures are extremely dangerous, and are at the power level of a soldier, but move in packs of 20. Teco are massive reflection of Earthly Lizards. These beasts posses the power of camouflage, and silent steps that make it nearly impossible to hear them until they are right on top of you. Unlike the other beasts in this world, even those touched by zanpakuto, they have no power that can be felt like reiatsu, making them completely invisible.
The beasts posses four arms, and two back legs. Between the two top arms is what looks to appear to be a large thin layer of skin, almost web like, that grants them the ability to glide from high locations, and even fly during hurricane like winds. Across their top arms appear to be feathered blades, their heads posses up to eight horns, and their saliva is poisonous.
Katika - Very rare creatures, all at the power of a Captain. These beasts are also referred to as "Air Swimmers." They are as large as a one story house, and reflect that of the Earthly Otters. Always in a pack of three, with no Alpha Male/Female. They move in the air as if they were swimming, possess black fur that is as strong as steal, and when aligned together they can create a sonic explosion strong enough to crush the earth, and at times (When one is possessed by zanpakuto) can rip open a tiny portal in time and space, but not enough to travel through.
Seba - Sea Beasts that are in the largest numbers, reflecting what looks to be a fusion of Sharks, and Parana. It is unknown how many travel in one large school, and really no one should really want to know since it is not wise to be in large bodies of water. All of which are the size of a full grown great white shark, as fast as a dolphin, and can even jump out of the water in order to attempt to bite your legs off (Jump 19 feet out of the water going 20 mph) These beasts are ruthless and are all at the power of Soldiers and Officers. Green skins at the power of Soldiers, and Blue Skins at the power of Officers.
Gado - These creatures are the smallest, and resign inside large towers across the world. They are the most intelligent wild beasts, and have even learned to speak English (Go figure), but in a backwards sense of it. Not always violent, and to those who can prove themselves to the Gado, can even earn information. Don't be fooled however, their size means nothing compared to their strength in power from being a Lieutenant to Captain, and their packs of 10 to 20.
(I have only three more, but they are special beasts to be discovered only)
