I realized that I was having trouble finding ways to incorporate things from Bleach into this story so that people who haven't read it will understand the references mainly because I already know what I am basing my story on. If you really want to understand, I recommend reading Bleach. It's a great manga. Here is a list of characters and terms that have appeared and will appear later on. I hate to say this but there are some characters in Bleach that I either don't like or don't know well enough so I will kill them off, sorry to anyone who likes these characters.
Characters:
Kurosaki Ichigo- Main character of Bleach. A human boy, about 18 at this point in my story. His Soul Cutter is called Cutting Moon. He is also a Substitute Soul Reaper.
Kuchiki Rukia- Soul Reaper girl who gave her Soul Reaper powers to Ichigo to help him fight a Hollow. Her Soul Cutter's name is Sleeve of the White Snow (known for being the most beautiful Soul Cutter in Soul Society). Helps Ichigo out many times. Part of the 13th Squad
Yamamoto Genryuusai- Captain Commander of the 13 Squads. Captain of the 1st squad. Most powerful Soul Reaper in a long time. Has been in power for 1000 years.
Soi Fon- Captain of the 2nd Squad and the Commander-in-Chief of the Stealth Force. Known for being the fastest Soul Reaper in Soul Society. She has an obsession with her teacher, Shihouin Yoruichi, the former 2nd Squad Captain
Retsu Unohana- Captain of the 4th Squad. Seems like a very nice lady but actually has a very scary side.
Kuchiki Byakuya- Captain of the 6th Squad and head of the Kuchiki royal family. Adopted Rukia as part of the family because she had been his wife's younger sister. His wife, Hisana, died of sickness.
Sajin Komamura- Captain of the 7th Squad. Has the appearance of a fox or a dog. Used to hide his face but no longer does and people have come at accept him. Very powerful.
Shunsui Kyoraku- Captain of the 8th Squad. Seems lazy and enjoys drinking but is actually very smart and perceptive.
Toshirou Hitsugaya- Captain of the 10th Squad. Is very young, even by Soul Reaper standards and has the appearance of a grade schooler. Is very powerful and has been called a boy genius.
Kenpachi Zaraki- Captain of the 11th Squad. Very powerful, enjoys fighting, has a very large store of Spirit Energy.
Mayurui Kurotshuchi- Captain of the 12th Squad and President of the Research and Development Institute. Cares about nothing but doing his experiments. Does not take into account the feelings of others. Is no sensitive.
Jushiro Ukitake- Captain of the 13th Squad. Has poor health.
Urahara Kisuke- Former Captain of the 12th Squad and Founder and Former President of the Research and Development Institute. Runs a shop in Karakura Town from which he helps many people. Was banned from Soul Society for doing unlawful experiments.
Shihouin Yoruichi- Former Captain of the 2nd Squand and Former Commander-in-Chief of the Stealth Force. Was banned after helping Urahara Kisuke escape Soul Society. Can turn into a cat. Known as the God of Flash
Terms:
Soul Reapers- Spirits who help save other spirits and bring them to Soul Society. They also protect spirits and humans from Hollows. They all wear black traditional Japanese robes.
Soul Cutters- Special swords used by Soul Reapers that have a special attachment to their soul. Soul Reapers can talk to their Soul Cutters and their Soul Cutters have different shapes and abilities depending on their wielder's souls.
Hollows- Spirits that have gone bad and go around attacking people with high Spirit Energy. Soul Reapers attack and kill them before they can do any harm and then they are purged of their sins and returned to Soul Society as good souls.
13 Squads- The 13 Squads of Soul Reapers. Each has it's own special abilities. The 2nd Sqaud specializes in stealth. The 4th Squad does handyman work but also focuses on healing. The 11th squad is known for being the strongest and most blood-thirsty squad. The 12th squad focuses on scientific developments. Ect...
Stealth Force- Not technically part of the 13 Squads but is sometimes also under control of the 2nd Squad Captain. They focus on executions also known as assassinations. Strength and stealth are very important.
Flash Step- Using compressed Spirit Energy to move at very fast speeds so that the person is practically invisible. Soi Fon and Yoruichi are known for having perfected this ability
Flash Cry- A type of fighting that combines physical attacks with Demon Magic. When used properly it looks like lightning and compresses on the user's back, blowing away their clothes. Commanders of the Stealth Force use this ability
If I use anything else, I will try to define it. Most of these I will also give a little explanation of in the story. Other characters are going to appear along the way and if you are wondering where the Captains of the 5th , 3rd, and 9th squads are, I'm sorry but I killed them off because I didn't really like them that much. For anyone who has read Bleach, this takes place after Aizen but I am disregarding anything that has happened after and continuing on as if nothing occurred. Ichigo still has his Spirit Powers but Aizen, Gin, and Tousen are dead. Everything else is as it was after the battle. The story since then hasn't really progressed enough for me to build on it and Aizen's battle gives me a nice finishing point. Most of the story will not play a great role in this. It is very separate.
