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.

Reiryoku is the spirit power of some one. Not oonly is reiryoku a reflection of a persons will power, it is also a representation of a persons strength & innate abilities. Many people can wield their reiryoku as a powerful weapon or a useful utility. A person's reiryoku is always manifested in the form of a racial ability. Every race has techniques and abilities that make them unique. Some of these abilities are unique to a single race, such as a quincy's bow. Where as other abilities are shared across all races, just as Shunpo. Because of their nature these abilities are the basic building blocks of any character.
Restricted Abilities
Some racial abilities are so powerful, and easily abused that they must restricted. Any power that is labeled RESTRICTED may not be taken. However there is a few rare circumstances where these powers may be granted to a character by the staff. If a character has earned the power, the staff may given them the ability. Please do not ask to be given restricted abilities, for any reason.

These abilities are Zanpakuto, Shikai, Kido, Garganta, Pesquisa, Heirro, Resurreccion, the Quincy Bow, & Ginto.

As the final release of a Zanpakutou, a bankai is the pinnacle of a zanpakuto's abilities. It represents perfect harmony between a Shinigami and the Spirit of their Zanpakuto. To achieve bankai, a shinigami must be able to manifest their zanpakuto spirit into the mortal realm. This is no easy task, as it normally takes ten years to master. However those who are able to master have their names go down in history. A Shinigami must be able to perform bankai in order to become a Taicho.
Shunpo
The flash step is a signature move of Hoho (agility), one of the four pillars of Shinigami combat skills. Shunpo is the art of moving from one place to another in as few steps as possible. The primary aspect of this ability is speed, as such this ability allows the user to move large distances within mere seconds. Very few Shinigami are able to use this ability properly. However all Fukutaicho and Taicho tend to know the bare basics of Shunpo.
Senka RESTRICTED
Senka is an advanced version of Shunpo. This ability allows a person to flash step behind a person, and attack them from behind. If used on a Shinigami this will pierce their Saketsu, or source of spiritual power. On top of it's lethal capabilities, the victim rarely notices the attack until it's too late.
Utsusemi RESTRICTED
Utsusemi is an advanced Shunpo technique. Utsusemi is an incredibly fast shunpo. The user moves so fast that an after image is left behind, which may confuse the user's enemies. Only Shunpo masters are able to use this skill effectively. Some Shunpo masters, like Soi Fon, are able to make multiple after images at once.
Shunko RESTRICTED
Shunko or Flash Cry, is the combination of kido & hand-to-hand combat. Very few Shinigami are able to even use this ability, however even fewer people survive a battle against a Shunko user. Once Shunko is activated the pure essence of kido will be emitted from the users back, arms, & legs. Not only can this kido be used as a projectile, it also greatly increases the users speed and strength. On top of this all the strong aura of kido will also greatly hinder the enemies movement, and prevent them from using any kind of kido.

The cero is the signature ability of all hollows, including Arrancar. This ability is simply a concentrated beam of reiryoku. It normally takes the forum of a red laser beam. A cero takes a few seconds to fire, as it needs to charge. Arrancar's have been known to fire their cero from multiple parts of their bodies, such as fingers, palms of their hands, tongues ect. Despite the Cero's simply nature it is rather powerful. Most Arrancar are able to use cero.
Bala
Bala is an advanced Cero technique. It is nothing more then a faster version of the Cero. However what it gains in speed it sacrifices in power.
Grand Ray Cero RESTRICTED
Also known as the Royal Hollow Flash, this is one of the most powerful ceros available to an Arrancar. This cero was orginally invented by the Espada. By mixing their blood with their cero, the Espada would create a Grand Ray Cero. Not only does the speed & strength of the cero drastically increase, the color also changes to fit the user. Despite the death of the Espada a few high powered Arrancar have learned to use the Grand Ray Cero.
Cero Oscuras RESTRICTED
Oscuras is so powerful that it was restricted from even being used within Hueco Mundo. With a gigantic range, and huge power this pure black cero strikes fear in the hearts of it's opponents. Although this was the Cero of the Espada, only a select few of the Espada were able to use this Cero. Every single one of them died with the fall of Aizen.
Sonido
Sonido is the Arrancar's version of the Shinigami's Shunpo. Sonido allows extremely quick movement. There is very few diffrences between the two abilities. The biggest difference is that Sonido makes a crackling noise, where as Shunpo makes a swishing noise.

The Visored have the unique ability to control the hollow within them. Most, if not all, of the living Visored have master this ability. Their mastery of their inner-hollow is represented by their own hollow mask that they can create on command. The mask varies from person from person. And even the method to summon it varies from person to person. If a Visored is wearing their mask they gain a huge bonus to the reiryoku. However this mask may only be used for a few seconds before breaking.
The Soul of a Shinigami
At heart the Visored's are still Shinigami. As such they may learn any of the Shinigami abilities. (Restrictions still apply).
The Face of a Hollow
The Visoreds gained their power through mastering their inner-hollow. Because of this they are able to take a small amount of hollow powers. A Visored may learn Cero, Bala, Garganta, & Heirro. They may only use these abilities while wearing their mask.
Hirenkyaku or Flying Screen Step is the Quincy's version of shunpo. Not only does this ability allow them to move to various places quickly, it has the most different flash step-variant. Hirenkyaku works by the Quincy forming reishi under their feet, and riding the reishi to various places. Not only can they use this to move to various places in a short amount of time they can also use this ability to fly. Masters of this ability can use this ability to create platforms that can carry other people with them. However this is one of the most difficult Quincy techniques to master.
Ranotengai RESTRICTED
Also known as Heavenly Wild Puppet, this ability is one of the most terrifying Quincy ability. A Quincy may use his/her reiryoku to form strings along their own body. By manipulating these strings with their mind they may manipulate their own body. This allows a Quincy to fight even after their body has been terribly wounded, or has become the victim of paralysis. As such, it is one of the most powerful Quincy abilities.
