Welcome to SoulxSociety!
We're a friendly roleplaying community based on Tite Kubo's manga, BLEACH. We are a canon/original roleplay site, so you can take a favorite canon or make an original character to take to our original plot.
The Gotei have emerged from a long and bloody Civil War within the Seireitei and the Rukon. Five centuries ago the Soitaicho Xiaoyu Demizu and her Fukotaicho Kimiko Demizu found out that the ruling body of the Central Forty Six had become corrupt. The Rebels who numbered but in the thousands came to the crater and began construction of a memorial to all those who had lost their lives in the conflict. Most notably the two Soitaichos that had triggered the very war they had just ended. Now with the war being over the leader of the Rebels passed away leaving the bloodied hakama that was the symbol of the Gotei to her eldest daughter Lhin who now is in charge of the Gotei and tasked with leading them out from the ruins they where within.
Many have risen and many have fallen during the Gotei’s Civil War but there has been but a few constants. The Tres Beasts roaming the sands in honor of their Reyes. Along with them the elite squadrons of Grimmjow roamed the sands for four centuries as the Gotei imploded, but then one day they stopped. No one knows what happened to the former Espada. Those so strong they said could suck the very light from the air about them when their powers where used. Now the sands stir restlessly. Those afraid to show their face for the previous century are now emerging. Stronger Adjuncha’s clawing around trying to find the rumored source of the power of the Reyes within the ruins of the White City.
However by comparison the old ruins that was once Aizen's kingdom whilst in Heuco Mundo has had some presence dwelling from within. Neither Hollow or Arrancar dare trespass however due to the reiatsu emitting from it's once proud walls. What threat could be looming within the former citadel of power...
During the Shinigami's absence from the Human realm, Hollows have grown unchecked, the Quincies just as much as they hold much dominance over the realm of man as the last defenders against the hollows. Feeling that the Shinigami have abandoned mankind the Quincies have had no issue or opposition crushing any pockets of resistance with their newfound allies the Fullbringers.
However the Fullbringers feel that despite the lack of Shinigami within the world the threat of Hollow and Arrancar alike have risen. Local rural towns decimated within hours as many once ruins of mankind have become desolate holds for Hollow factions.
However during all of this two amongst a handful of others from a past long since forgotten have awoken and seized opportunity during the detonation of the Sokyokyou Hill. The names forgotten by the sands of time however with the mishap and under sight by the Shinigami this darker shadow from the past will need to be addressed before it surely spoils ruin to all fronts, Hollow, Quincy, Shinigami and Human alike.

Meeting others
Shadows of figures passed by the front doors of his Division, Ezreal was not trying to look odd but he was nervous about today. It was his first day as the captain of squad twelve and he had no idea how to introduce himself to his squad or others leading to the current situation. Gray hair and luminous green eyes could be seen from a small cardboard box set near the door of the R&D building. Not like most boxes as it stood six foot four inches with two eye holes cut into it. Most squad twelve members knew it was Ezreal as he used the box to hide from lectures or others looking for him.
"I never thought I would be this stressed out over being a captain, ... WHERE did my care free nature go .... I'll just camp out till I can get ... the nerve to talk to my squad ..."
Ezreal said calmly enough taking small pauses to avoid others hearing him as the entered the building. The new captain took a small note inside his box to add more security as people could just walk into the build where dangerous test had been and still are being conducted. Green eyes slowly drifted upward to see the slowly drifting clouds across vast blue of a sky over the Soul Society. Ezreal began to wonder just HOW could the sky work for so long with out any mistakes or changes aside from the clouds drifting.
"Rather odd most would not notice the changes but our sky only has 693 different cloud formations and these drift in different spots over the days, weeks, months, and years but only 693 ... Could the number have some alternate meaning or is it just set that way? ... I'm just thinking to much into the idea back to the main problem at hand ..."
Ezreal overlooked his box and laughed lightly, If he showed people the inside of this they would not think him the lazy person anymore. All over the inside countless blueprints, theories, systems, patterns, and the sort covered it and countless pages layered over some parts with the same clutter. To him it just meant he spent more time inside the box then he did working on inventions or with others. A dark thought came across his mind, What if one of the other captains noticed him?
"Why did I think that, They might think Im avoiding work or got kicked out of my own building... What if they think Im not fit to be captain ... Then I won't be able to help Soul Society become stable and then slack off like I used to ... God this is vexing how do I go about this, There is not a guide or reason ... No information of how one should go about this situation ... GRRRR!!!"

She was not one to pry, but she had been standing there for a bit longer than what she had wanted, this strange man was rambling to himself, this was exactly why she avoided the 12th division. There where too many weirdos. At least they did something useful,Every once in a while while other times they did something that was less useful. At the moment it was the latter. According to the man`s ramblings he was the new Captain for the 12th division. The only reason she was here was because her damn phone had stopped working... again! this was the third time this month, and it was not even that old, only sixty years or so.
It had started to malfuction ever since that time she dropped it during the war, which was roughly a year ago or so, she really liked this one too "sob"
She could still recall her chappy keyring that she had attached to her phone, such a waste... Pulling herself from her almost depressed state she shook her head. She still wore her shinigami uniform that belonged to the 13th division vice-captain. But she had earned a promotion, and shortly she would be crowned a captain. It was not explicitly said which position that was granted to her, but she assumed it was the 13th, Kaien would be proud of her she thought to herself. And off course her brother too, oh how she wished he was here. Rukia`s tears had dried out a while ago. She had mourned her loss and she had decided that those tears where only a burden now. It was time to move on no matter how hard it was to accept such cruel fate. This pointless war had sucseeded in only killing thousands, nothing else had changed. The few kept their lives sure but at what cost...
Rukia coughed to gain the attention of the new captain who was by extension the weirdest man since Kurotsuchi. She did not exactly look forward to meeting him, but she hoped he would be able to solve her problem, the tape that she had used to repair her phone could only get her so far. She was not sure what she was even supposed to say, it felt stupid that she had to talk to a walking box... E-ezreal Taicho? she said sounding half tempted to kick the box over... What are you wearing?....
She was not sure how to formulate her question, was he hiding from something? or was he just that weird? She supressed a laugh when she imagined the man dressed in a box during the captain`s meeting. That was akward... ! .... Its not that she was implying that the man was so weird that he would do something like that... or did he? Either way here she was talking to a carboard box full of senseless gestures and odd talk, could her day get any better?
****** Flashback ******
The day had been un-eventful quite a stress relife from the constant fighting that had ended just a few weeks earlier. Now however she was heading for the 12th Division to have her phone repaired, it was an odd thing. The rumors that she had heard from the new 12th division captain. If what they spoke was real then she had to watch out where she was going. Walking past the guards she waved them off with little worry, this is when she noticed something when she walked into the courtyard of the 12th, there was a strange box just outside the building, Rukia approached it and soon noticed that it was moving and... talking? ....
"Aikawarazu watashi no iu koto o sukoshimo kikanu."

"...What am I wearing? It's my greatest invention I call it "Cardboard box Glass"... Also no need for the Taichō I can't even bring myself to talk to my squad about it yet so I would still count it myself as the same old member of squad 12 ... That and I personally think Im not truly fit to remain captain, Just a temporary fill ... What can I do for you?"
Ezreal said calmly as he tapped a small button inside the box and it began to fold into a small set of glasses he proceeded to place over his eyes. It took a few blinks before he adjusted to his normal vision and not blurry figures of Shinigami. The captain looked down slightly while smiling happily at the Vice-captain before him. He had heard stories of Rukia in the past and now he met her odd things just kept happening.
***If Phone is visible***
"It would appear something is wrong with your phone, One second let me take a quick look at it ..."
Wasting no time Ezreal quickly tapped the phone to get it up to over his head and went to work with his normal style. Sure his way of going about the situation was different then most, Instead of just looking the object over he went about taking it apart fully. The phone seemed to sit unchanged until he moved his Kimono to reveal countless tools he went about pulling out and taking the phone apart to the smallest parts he could and then rebuilt it without blinking.
His arms did not seem to move that much to the untrained eyes but to him it seemed to slow. Each tiny screw, the slightly damaged plastic phone case, the number pads all drifting like it had been trapped inside barely frozen Jell-O (VERY SLOW). The problem was simply to realign the parts so what one pressed did not get a mixed signal and cause a different button to work instead. catching the phone as it barely passed his shoulders and offering it back to Rukia.
" Seemed like it was dropped and it misplaced some of the internal wires causing it to send mixed signals. Should be fine now give it a shot ..."
Green eyes blinked for the first time as his mind slowed back down and went back to his blank cheerful smile. Some days his mind was his friend and other it was the most unpredictable test subject. Even if it was his sometimes things just happen that he could not explain like when he moved at his fastest performance, Things just melted before him, To slow in appearance but to fast in his own mind.
***If Phone is not visible***
The captain was eager to help someone, it would take his mind off all this pressure of being the new captain. Sure might only take it off such things for a short amount of time but he was happy for the small amount of time he might get. His hands rested at his sides tapping for each second it took before he would breath in.

What was only the shadows of the doors one minute, became even more than that the next. A hiding spot for a man… a being… or even a monster depending on your point of view. One whose presence was known only to the Soitaicho whose authority he still acknowledged despite the fact it was not the same woman he had called ‘Mistress’ so many years ago. Slowly though the pair would feel it… a sense of dread and nervousness that was produced by its reiatsu, which it directed at the two… and only those two. The emotional changes would be more powerfully felt by the Captain who didn’t recognize the reiatsu, but to Rukia who had been a friend and ally… well… it would be a familiar feeling, if not a surprising one as well. A echoing voice that spoke with many deep echoing tones, but held an almost ‘god’ like mentality to it said, ”Jussst what do we have here… a child in the possstion of Captain? Did the war deplete our ranksss that much? Sun-Sung ssshall be very disssappointed in that development… oh yesss… very dissspointed. It isss of no concern though, at leassst you are finally getting your own divisssion Missstress Rukia. Not under the circumstancesss you hoped I am sssure?”
Slowly from the shadows stepped a tall and lanky figure, who seemed as though it was walking up a staircase when it came out of the shadows and into the light of day. Dressed a dark black suit with a red tie the figures face was devoid of any features, but given the way it was staring at Rukia… it was obvious who it was looking at as it approached. Long tentacles coming off its back undulated around, while three that had the appearance of lung dragon like heads mixed with the tips stared passively at the 12th Division Captain. It would take only the blink of an eye by either of the two and suddenly the tall figure was standing right in front of Ezreal… face only inches from that of the new Captain. Tilted sideways in a curious posture it reached out and poked the man right between the eyes and commented with an obviously bored tone, ”Sssecurity hasss grown quite lax in the 12th Divisssion sssince the lassst time I wasss here. Now I am quite sssure my darling little quincy could sssimply plunder thisss place or if my wife where ssso inclined ssshe could level it. Of courssse we wouldn’t do that becaussse we love you all ssso much.” A playful and almost girlish giggle came out of that featureless face, as the figure began to playfully pinch and pat at Ezreal’s cheeks.
Any reaction by the Captain to bat away the annoying thing would only find his hands to be passing through a simple after image as he was now standing in front of Rukia. Quickly bowing down on one knee for her, the thing said, ”I am glad to sssee you are will Mistress Rukia. Your sssafety and that of your houssse isss one of my primary concernsss ssso it isss mossst a mossst comforting sight for your humble ssservant to sssee you in sssuch a condition. Isss there anything I could do to be of ssservice while I am passsing through? Would you like me to ssshoo off the madman wearing a box or would you like we all go sssomewhere lesss public if you expect to ssspeak to me face to face again.” Again that ominous laugh spilled from the creatures lips as it stepped back from the two and waited on an answer.

What Ezereal explained was not really an explanation, it was a cardboard box no matter how she looked at it until.... ! .... it was no longer a cardboard box?, but now a pair of glasses resting on the pale looking man`s nose. The first thing that came to her mind was off course that it must have been hard to see trough em. In fact she doubted the man could see through them at all. Then again no one should quote on her for this though since she might as well been wrong about it. She had been wrong about weirder things.
She was caught off guard when the captain took her phone from her, she seemed a bit suprised of this act, she wanted to tell the captain that she did not expect the man no in fact she demanded that someone of his underlings should take a look at her phone, no captain should be bothered with her antics... However she said nothing as the captain had started to work his magic on the phone, and she could feel her heart sink when he tore her phone to pieces. However the speed at which the captain put the pieces back together was amacing, the only reason she could even follow up was because of her training with her brother and even then she could not make out every nifty movement that he made with his fingers. True enough soon his phone was as good as new and the captain returned her phone to her in one piece. She had seen stranger things in her life but she was still quite impressed. Ezereal-taicho that was... i mean i was... She was out of words but she celebrated none the less, now she could work again with no bullshit tolerance to her phone not working. Her usual habit of pronouncing honorifics caught the better of her yet again and she even failed to notice it. Thank you...
She said with a slight bow, she then took a closer look at her phone and pushed a few buttons sending some urgent messages, it appeared to be working. She let out a small sigh of relive. She leaned back a bit from the captain shifting her weight to her right as she pushed her phone into her pocket. Now that that was cleared she could-
Rukia narrowed her eyes to half slits, this feeling this presence... it was very familiar but she had not expected to meet the man here of all places. She did not look away from the captain in front of her though. A small frown escaped her soft lips when Kurosawa started talking, who was he calling a CHILD?!? Rukia felt the urge to kick Kurosawa simply because he offended Ezreal, intetionally or not. Off course it was never a serious move something kurosawa should know by now. Who are you calling a child?!? She asked Kurosawa with her left eye twitching slightly.
Rukia did`t flinch when Kurosawa turned to her, she simply responded. Off course not... you won`t be getting rid of me so easily! To kurosawa`s question if she wanted him to shoo off the captain next to her Rukia simply responded with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Would you prefer getting kicked in front or the back of your head? At this point Rukia`s expression had turned more to her normal self, allowing a small smile to form. She off course restricted herself from kicking him in the captain`s presence the last thing she wanted was for him to think that he was an enemy...
How have you been?... She then snapped back realizing that Ezereal had no idea who he was.
Oh where are my manners, Kurosawa this is the Juuni Bantai Taicho Ezreal C. Night She then turned to Ezreal This is Kurosawa Ryou Former Fuku-Taicho of Nibantai Nibantai (2nd division) Juuni Bantai (12th division) With the introductions over she worried over how the Juuni bantai taicho would react to a former vice captain`s presence...
OOC: sorry for the late reply, i would have had a post up a week ago but i lost it along with it the muse...

Meeting others
Ezreal could feel the hair on his back stand on edge as he felt a new presence, One he wish not dwell on so he simply used his own to ease out the other. Ezreal moved his face back slowly while smiling at the new figure who seemed not to like him. The captain's face turned dull and almost sad as he would chose to add a few words of his own.
"It is true I am a kid to most other candidates for squad 12 captain spot but Im not so much offended by that. I have not even been able to speak with my squad since I became captain because I am to scared that they will not see me as one. Kurosawa Ryou ... As for the matters of defense I have not bothered to focus on that just yet as most of what we have been doing is rebuilding Soul society before we get to work on the other matter of our squad.
Ezreal's face returned to a smile as he tapped his glasses and they returned to box form. He was more so hiding from a squad member that was passing into the lab then trying to lower tension. Ezreal was not one to enjoy pressure or provoking conflict. Sure people would call him odd and all but that was just how Ezreal was when it came down to the core. His hands dug around his captain coat to get small rubix cube to keep him busy.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Kurosawa Ryou, I would also like to ask that you do not threaten to destroy my barracks like it will be something easy. I might not be the strongest captain or the most experienced but in the name of returning SS to a place where I can be lazy I will defend it with my last breath."
Ezreal quickly tossed the solved cube out before getting out of his box and staring a second cube. He had found a grove where he can relax and not have to look at all his notes to keep his mind from overthinking everything. Doing his best to avoid the tentacles while he got into the face of the former vice captain and showed his dark colors dark energy sparking from his hands and tainting the small cube black before he could finish it.

”Who am I calling a child Rukia? I am only calling sssomeone a child becaussse that isss what they are. Isss it an insssult to call sssomebody by what they are, and bessside I think you are making way too big of a deal of a comment. In fact I could technically call you an old lady, but I believe that would make me an old man at thisss point.” Ryou again starting chuckling in a playful manner, hiding his mouth with the back of his hand. The male just waved his hand in the woman’s direction, ”That isss alright Mistresss… I don’t think we need a diplomatic incident occurring over the loss of said foot.” Again Ryou was only joking, but it was different than what he would have said to Rukia in the past. A reflection of his own growth in confidence as a leader beside Sun and Sieg. The reatisu around seemed warmer for a moment as he regarded Rukia, and then the other Captain… given that opening banter was out of the way of course. Rukia was about to receive the greeting that Ryou normally gave her so many years ago, as he stepped forward and snuggled her in a hug for a few moments, before stepping back and still staring at her with that featureless face.
”I have been doing quite alright Missstress. Thank you for worrying about my sssafety, but I am doing quite well. Me, my wife Sun-Sung, and my Quincy advisor are all sssurviving, asss well asss thriving consssidering that me and my wife have adopted quite a number of young Arrancarsss to protect and even help aid our caussse. I hope that one day you will get to meet them Rukia. It isss quiet an sssite to sssee ssso many Arrancar who are kind or at leassst indifferent like Nel and Hallibel where.” Realizing that his rambling had somewhat interfered with Rukia’s introduction the creature quieted down and turned his attention back to the young 12th Division Captain whom he had not responded to… only because he was so happy to see Rukia. Now was when he planned to change all that, ”Ah Ezreal C. Night, it isss nice to meet you, but I am curiousss. If you sssay that you are kid compared to mossst of the other candidatesss, then what wasss it about you that made you ssspecial? I do keep tabsss on Soul Society from time to time ssso I could help in the war, asss well asss keep the general pulssse of the place. Your name never came up…” It would be up to Ezreal to take that as an insult, or take it as the simple question that it was.
”Well if Lihn approvesss and you would welcome it, then I can have sssome of my childern… arrancarsss come and help. I am sssure membersss of the 12th Division would be lesss prejudice, becaussse of their curiosssity. If it helpsss I give them premisssion to obssserve and ssscan, though not touch. Asss for mattersss of defense, well I am sssure I can give you sssome advissse, asss can my Quincy adviser who actsss asss my resssearcher.” The creatures tone had changed to an almost fatherly and advisory one, though its nature changed to something slightly hostile when Ezreal approached him in a threating manner. What happened next would only take a blink of an eye, the tall face figure moved the instant Ezreal blinked, and before the Captain could react… A gentle hand was already laid on his shoulder from behind, ”Do not try that again my dear boy. I didn’t inherited Mistress Soi-Fon and Yourichi’s title as an unofficial God of Flash for no reassson. Nor did I get the title of Mad King of Hecudo Mundo for free… now letsss keep thisss coversssation civil. I have no desssire to harm your barracksss, if you need it… Rukia can explain that I wasss a bit of trickssster back in my day. If it makesss you feel any better I can releassse my Bankai though.”

You are far too lenient Ezreal-Taicho, you still have a lot to learn being a captain... She looked at Ezreal as he turned back into a box, she feeling like she wanted to facepalm so hard right now. Then came the words that kurosawa said, it only made her edgier against kurosawa... He called me what again? Her left eye twitched as she glared daggers at kurosawa. Withouth warning she sent a rather potent kick at his head, if it made contact it certainly would send him flying a bit. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN OLD LADY?! IS THAT REALLY A WAY FOR YOU TO TALK TO ME YOU BASTARD!" She then crossed her arms across her chest when she was done with him, looking back at the moment she was suprised to see (regardless if he got punched or not) that he hugged her, she did not respond not until he let go of her. You silly man... Well at least its good to hear that your doing well. Rukia eyed the 12th division captain as he once more came out of his box, having solved his rubix cube at an astounding time limit. (as she should have expected by now)
Rukia listened to both sides feeling slightly inferior to their talk over political matters and such. Then came that threathening tone she disliked about the man she rolled her eyes and pulled out her phone from her pocket, if they where going to act like that... She made a call... Ah yes Lhin, Kurosawa is back with his attitude, should i restrain him? She listened to her voice a small almost unnoticible smirk moving on her lips.
Kurosawa we don`t need another incident, last time was bad enough but we need Ezreal alive its pretty hard to be a good captain if he`s dead, besides Lhin forbid you from stepping over your boundaries, this goes for you too Ezreal or i won`t hesitate to stomp both of your faces in with delight..

Meeting others
Ezreal raised his hands up almost like he was under arrest when he was touched. It was more a defense of his to realize this was not a matter he could win with strait conflict. His presence died down as his left hand moved to begin snapping slowly. His eyes closed as he smiled and tried to slowly move himself from being touched before dusting his shoulder off. A faint nod as Rukia spoke about detaining the two. Slowly spinning his head to see Kurosawa.
"Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not show up in records because in most terms Im a dead man among souls. I am sorry for my previous hostile action, I'm a bit edgy and panicky right now. I would like if my squad focused on repairs for the time being. ... Oh I forgot to reset it again, one moment."
Ezreal moved his right hand into his robes and pulled out a timer the began to buzz before he reset it to sixty minutes. That was the forth time he had reset it now meaning four hours he had spent outside. The thought of him not being suited for captain spot now clearly present on his face as he sat cross legged on the ground. Sure he could think quick and move slightly faster, but he had little social skills and always worried about doing something wrong.
"Four hours and I still can't think of anything to say to my squad. I seem to be the worst captain around ha-ha. Even string theory is Childs play beside an introduction. One wrong word and your shunned by the squad. Makes me wonder if I truly am fit to be a captain..."
