Black as jet, the wings of the Hell Butterfly are the Shinigami's messengers. Usually, there merely convey notification or orders of more routine fashion. But today, something is off. A veritable swarm of the creatures has descended upon the Seireitei, each bearing a command issued forth in gravelly but powerful words.
Fellow members of the Gotei 13,
I have grave news. For long centuries past, we have under the authority granted us by the Soul King kept Things in Balance. As Life enters the World of the Living, we have escorted the Souls of the dead from the earth's encircling confines, granting them entry to the Soul Society. The Living stay where they are expected, as do the Dead, and the Hollow Souls that pervert this by preying upon them both are cleansed of their sins and are themselves escorted to their rest.
The balance has started to shift irreparably in the past year. Hollows have been appearing in the World of the Living from their haven in Hueco Mundo in greater numbers than before. Shinigami have encountered Souls on earth that were already escorted to the Soul Society. Most distressing, trips back to Soul Society for us are taking longer, with more effort needed, as if running up an ever steepening hill.
I have spoken with Central 46, and after briefed the Captains. They will be soon disseminating information and orders to each of your seated officers, that we may meet this disaster before it spells a permanent end of Existence itself.
I would that better times were ahead, but for the foreseeable future, we must all display the poise and strength of character expected of a member of the Gotei 13.
Signed,
Captain Commander Genryūsai Yamamoto
Message delivered, each Hell Butterfly floats away to wherever they go, leaving all in stunned silence as they consider the Captain Commander's adminishment.

Hello! If you're this far into things, clearly you are at least somewhat interested. Thank you for your interest! Let's go over some things really quickly.
First: DA RULES
- Read the Interest Check!
- All Iwaku site rules must be followed.
- Be courteous. Drama is for stories, and it has no place in the OOC.
- No godmodding. I am fully aware that this RP is based on an animu and as such is of course unrealistic to major degree. However, this is still a dangerous world, and your character should fail, in small regard and large.
- No bunnying, unless otherwise arranged. Let's not tell people how their characters are acting or reacting without prearrangement, yes?
- If you recall from the Interest Check, I want three paragraphs at least every two weeks, real life allowing. When it doesn't, please let me know so I can accommodate. Too much inactivity will mean suspension and in time expulsion.
- Don't argue a GM judgement. I'm a benevolent god and am happy to entertain ideas, but in the end, my word is gold.
Second: the Character Sheet! You'll find it below
Code:
[fieldbox="{Name, Division, and Seat position}, color, solid"]

•Name: {You don't have to stick to Japanese names}
•Age: {should be between 150 & 500 years old; apparent age may vary}
•Gender:
•Height:
•Division:
•Rank: {2nd-5th seat}
•Appearance: {optional if picture included above}
•Personality: {should include three strengths and weakness of personality (not skills), underlined}
•Biography: {minimum of 3 paragraphs, though it doesn't have to be long. Bear in mind: this RP will take place immediately after the incursion of Western civilization into Japan, otherwise known as the Meiji Era, approximately 1868 AD.}
•Skills: {this should include more mundane skills in addition to any skills relevant to being a Shinigami you want to include. Kido, Hada, and other combat skills should be similarly outlined. For Kido, just articulate capability; you don't have to list each spell}
•Zanpakuto: {appearance and personality, if it's developed. Pictures of both sword and avatar are preferred, but description is accepted, as of course is both. No Zanpakuto will be accepted if it is two blades.}
•Shikai Release: {again, if possible, include a picture. Also detail and underline up to 3 particular abilities it possesses. Be creative! But also remember to please not be OP about it. Again, no Zanpakuto will be accepted if it's two blades, even in it's released form.}
•Other: {if there's anything else you feel you want to include, here's the place!}
•Writing Sample: {I need to see how you will be writing for this RP. Give me a taste of your unique style starring your character! At least three paragraphs of decent length. Try for variety: description, dialogue, combat, any number of combinations!}
[/fieldbox]
Third: Be sure to have fun! I'll stop accepting new characters on August 30th, with a planning start date to the RP of Sept. 6th, so you'll have a bit of time to get this figured out! Best of luck!
