"You! Number 3! Get down!" A Shinigami screamed from the back lines.
"I know, I KNOW!" Number 3 screamed, just barely evading the Cero. "Everyone, get back, we need some backup!" number 3 demanded, signaling to the other Shinigamis to get out of the way.
"We can't do this, he's too strong!" An injured Shinigami screamed, hidden on the back of the old castle's walls, bleeding heavily from one of the Cero's previous attacks.
"Number 3, you take him from the left, I'll take him from the right!" the Vice-captain said, using Shunpo to quickly sneak up on the left of the Menos' humongous body.
"Number 3 has a goddamn name!" She screamed, spitting out blood from her mouth. "It's Gina! GINA WING! Freakin' learn it already!!" Gina screamed, getting up from the floor, taking her weapon in hand, and using Shunpo to reach the left side of the Menos.
"Ready 3, now!" the vice-captain screamed, while attacking the Menos.
"GINA!" she cried, unleashing a strong attack with her weapon against the gigantic enemy. Both attacks slashed through the Menos’ body, injuring him greatly. Screams of the colossal, mindless beast could be heard from miles away, alerting Pluses, Minuses and other Hollows alike. Even humans with who were slightly spiritually aware shivered in response the terrifying sound, awaking from their sleep.
“That’s not going to be enough! Number 12! When is the captain getting here!” the Vice-captain cried, running away with two of the wounded Shinigamis, towards a nearby lake, a few miles away from the castle.
“He should be here already, Vice-captain!” number 12 responded, carrying another wounded body on his back. “They said he was coming a while ago!”
“3! I’m not sure we’ll be able to hold much longer! We’ve got to hide until…” the Vice Captain said, only to find out the Gina wasn’t following him. “Damn, stupid 3 stayed back, she’s not going to survive that monster! I’ve got to get back to her before it’s too late!”
“Stupid Hollow, he’s too damn strong!” Gina said, barely able to stand up, after being heavily wounded from one Menos’ kick. “I’m done for if I don’t think up of something”
The Menos’ stared directly at Gina for a few seconds. Then, he began charging energy, into a red, blackish color in front of his mouth.
“Shit! Another Cero! What’s wrong with this monster!?” she cried, slowly moving out of the way. “I’m not going to make it on time! Shit! I can’t die here!” she screamed, kneeling on the ground and covering her head.
OOC: Yeah, pretty shitty descriptions. It’s Europe, and it’s night, so meh. Figured I would do this somewhere outside of Japan. As you can see, I haven’t given anyone names yet, so you can take any of those characters as one of yours, or create your own. Also, I haven’t defined a timeline for it, so you can go ahead and choose one of your liking. Try to stick with your own chars, although it’s fine if another captain makes an appearance every now and then, since, well, captains seem to last for quite a few decades anyway.
…So, who will save Gina? The captain or someone else?

OOC: I'm back, baby!
BIC: "Lament, Otokoyamome! Let your tears be the pain of all that oppose us!" A vicious voice roared from across the battlefield, and there was a flash of light. Instantly appearing in front of Gina, a man a bit over six feet tall held his weapon in the path of the attack.
The cero slammed into his blade with incredible force, grinding down with immeasurable might. Wind whipped the man's long blonde hair about, and the heat from the projectile singed him as he tried to force the attack away. An old wound above his left eye opened up, spurting crimson. The man groaned with exertion as he tried to push the attack away, his blade, somewhat akin to a stylized sabre with spines jutting from the back, creaking under the pressure.
"Get out of the way. Now." The man muttered as an aside through clenched teeth. He felt one of his feet begin slipping, the ground beneath him cracking and starting to disintegrate with the force of the spiritual pressure. He couldn't let this happen... He couldn't let this creature beat him. If he failed, he wouldn't live to hold her hand. She'd be condemned to live out her hell on Earth for eternity. This was on his shoulders. Like her death had been...
"Never again!" The man screamed, his reiatsu surging with the volume of his voice. "I won't let you!" He gave a loud, nameless bellow, and swung his blade straight through the attack. There was a noise like an explosion, and the cero blast collapsed upon itself in a flashing maelstrom of light.
"I can't die here!" The man shouted, rushing towards the Menos Grande with his blade above his head. Gathering force in his legs, he sent himself flying at the beast, his blade trailing a shimmering yellow light. He brought the blade down with a crushing slash, drawing it across the hollow's gut. The blade bit into the creature, wounding it, but far from a lethal blow. The creature bucked against him, sending him crashing to the ground almost fifty feet below.
He rolled to his feet, barely avoiding the creature's stomping attack, and then used Shunpo to move back to beside the woman in a whooshing blur.
"Any idea why this beast is so much more feisty than the usual crop of Menos?" The man asked, readying his blade once more.
OOC: Not the captain, or even a squad member or part of the Gotei 13. And the female referred to in his introspection is somebody other than Gina.
For a picture, check Spriting. He was my first shinigami sprite.
And BTW, thanks for starting another Bleach RP. I actually had joined another forum for some Bleach RPing, but with my luck, of course, things weren't good there. The three RPers there were total stoners (as in they spent more time discussing the best methodology for getting high than they did writing.)
Oh, and they all started with either Bankai or being on the verge of Bankai. Which just isn't my cup of tea. I muchly prefer early Shikai levels for characters, since it just feels so much more ALIVE.

OOC: Zacharias and Hirakinohajihae is coming back again, just with a different (less cliche) backstory. Oh, and Bub@, you have any particular squad that you're in? BIC: The Menos began charging another Cero blast, aiming once again at the injured woman and now, the man right next to her. Tense moments later, the beam flew from the hollow's mouth. "Light up!" The Cero blast collided with a green hued barrier whose edges were defined by nine glowing, golf ball sized orbs. Behind the barrier stood another shinigami, released sword in his left hand. He grunted, focusing all of his power into the orbs. He began to lose traction, but before he could fall, the man held his sword in both hands and swung forward, causing the barrier to cancel out the Cero. He took in heavy breaths as the nine orbs attached themselves back to the hilt of his zanpakutou.

Wind whistled around him, though he had no idea why. He stirred, but there was nothing to stir against, as though he was falling endlessly through the air. He remembered...being devoured. Wholly and with malice. He was dead, that much he knew as well. But two questions remained, what am I? And who am I? He struggled, and then suddenly remembered what had happened moments before, in a dark and unknown world.
***
"What do you want?!" He screamed in panic, "Where am I?!" He yelled, stumbling back from the masked monsters. Everything and nothing all at once, they assumed the shapes of the most terrifying monsters that even dreams didn't dare to haunt you with. He sensed, somehow, that they were hungry, and he also knew that he was the most perfect of food. "No. NO! Get away!" He turned to run, but it was already to late. The masked monsters fell on him, devouring him, he could feels his limbs, his innards, his very soul being taken into something else. Then, suddenly, he was reconstructed. "What is-" He started to ask, then his face exploded outwards with a white fluid, and he was no longer aware of what he was. Instead, he was taken to the underworld.
***
Everything was made of water, except for the sky. The sky had waves of endless, beautiful colored energy. But everything on earth was made of water. Solid, beautiful, it made up mountains and islands and the ocean itself. It spread out endlessly, eternally. He felt, suddenly, safe. "Hello." And unknown voice said. He turned swiftly around, and beheld a young woman clothed in the flowing black of a cloak. "Who are you?" He asked. "You don't know me, and you would not be able to know my name at this moment." She said, "But soon you will know me, and deeply, within yourself, you already know me like no other." The world around them began to shake and shimmer, whirlpools broke the surface of the ocean, and large orbs of water fell as mountains were slowly deconstructed. "But we have no time to talk now, you must save yourself before your world falls apart." She said. "How do I do that?" He asked, fearful, "What am I becoming?" "You are becoming what the Death Gods, the Shinigami, call a Hollow. That is, a soul that has lost all of its humanity, and become a powerful, fearless animal. To stop this, YOU must become Shinigami." She said, "Among all these countless orbs is your power, find it, and you may save yourself." She turned away, and looked at him over her shoulder. "But if you cannot, you will become severed from this world forever." She vanished.
The water below him broke, and he was plunged into darkness. He swam, randomly, unknowing where he was going. He searched for those orbs that may contain his salvation, but he could see nothing at all. Am I going to die like this, he asked himself silently. Where am I even? He questioned. But suddenly, he felt drawn at the very core of his being, and he dived down, deep deep down into himself.
***
"Yes." He said, opening his eye's. "Yes, I know who I am." He said, the wind and clouds rushing past as he hurtled towards the ground. He could see a giant monster, the type that had put him in this situation, below him. He reached down to his side, though there was nothing there. "I am...."
Wind rushed past, and he hurtled towards the ground. The Shinigami below had just enough time to register his presence before he cried out, for all to hear, who he was.
"REITSUYA!" He cried, a flash of violet light accompanied his words, and suddenly he was holding a longer than normal, extremely curved katana. Violet light trailed him as he cut through the back of the Menos Grande, which screamed horribly and clawed at the injury on its back. Reitsuya hit the ground, and jumped back several meters, his violet eye's blazing with a strange, etherial light.

Zack was distracted for a moment by the unexpected arrival, but within seconds he was standing in a defensive stance. The Menos seemed to be distracted by the most recent attack, so the shinigami held his hand over his green-tinted blade.
"Light up!" he called again. The nine orbs detached themselves from Hirakinohajihae's hilt and lined themselves up over the blade. Suddenly reiatsu surged between the spheres, extending the blade by a couple meters.
Zacharias leaped into the air towards the Meno's gigantic mask, sword held overhead, and sliced straight down, hoping for some sort of wound.

OOC: Yeah, sorry for taking so long, but I'm back. No particular squad I'm in, but how about you guys? And based on your RP ch00beh, I'll pretend I knew you, 'cause it seems you were already there for the battle. I'll do a little bit of a recompilation 'cause I wasn't here earlier.
"Ah... I have no idea who you are, but thanks for the backup" Gina said, referring to the tall man standing beside him. "I have no idea what's wrong with this Menos, but he certainly seems a lot stronger than the one I fought before. Also, this seems like the third Menos this year so far..."
Another Cero was being charged up, as the man and Gina stood there. Gina tried standing up to ran away, but one of her legs was broken. She screamed in pain as she tried moving, while the tall man was standing besides her.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Gina's friend Zack came, and used his green barrier to defend them. The blast of Cero was completely canceled out by the barrier, saving both of them from the ferocious attack.
"Zack! What are you doing here? I though you went back with my vice-captain!" she cried.
Gina saw a strong flash of violet light on the back of the Menos, and heard the Menos scream loudly at what seemed to be a powerful attack. Far on the other side, a human-like figure could be seen, glowing in a violet light.
"And where the hell did he come from?" Gina said, now standing up with the help of the tall man, having never sensed the presence of that Shinigami's Reiatsu.
Zack used his Shikai again to attack the Menos Grande directly to his mask, leaving a deep wound on it, but unfortunately, not deep enough to purify such enormous creature.
Even so, the Menos had been greatly hurt from so many attacks. Sensing danger and following his primeval instincts, he decided to retreat back to the safety of Hueco Mundo, so he could recover. A big black portal opened on his back, as he slowly started teleporting away.
"Shit! He's trying to escape!" Gina cried, trying to run against the enemy, but being stopped by her own, massive pain.
A few feet away from them, a gate of light opened, as a familiar figure emerged out of it. He murmured a few words, and used Shupo to appear in front of the giant beast, slashing him in a complete half, from the very top of his mask, to the very bottom of his feet with an unbelievable amount of power and speed. After a few seconds of silence, the hollow disappeared, and the black portal closed back into nothingness.
"Captain! You're finally here!" Gina said, breaking down the silence.
OOC: I'll leave the captain to be any one you guys wish (male, though), so that'll set my squad, I guess.

"Yeah," Narui said, "Sorry I'm late." He commented, sheathing his sword as the Menos Grande dissolved, the straight one edged sword disappearing into a silver sheath at his waist. "Who was the one who turned back the Menos?" Narui asked curiously, "There was a rather large wound on its back wasn't their?" His fourth officer pointed at an unknown Shinigami who seemed to be dressed in the traditional attire of the Death God, save for the fact that it was completely black. Narui made his was over to the man, "Hello." He said, "My name is Hihon, Narui. I'm Captain of the Fifth Gotei division in Soul Society. You are?" He asked.
Reitsuya looked at the man for a moment, then answered, "My name is Reitsuya." He said simply. "What happened to you? Where did you come from?" Narui asked. "I don't know, from a place of great darkness I think, then I was falling from the sky." Reitsuya said, "But that's about all I remember before a woman in black talked to me, and this sword appeared in my hands." He said, showing the Captain his violet tinged blade. Narui was surprised, but contained himself. "Well, at the very least it does appear your no longer connected to this world. You should come back to Soul Society with us." Narui said, "We can seek an answer to your condition later." Reitsuya nodded slowly, unsure of what to think, but for the moment he felt as though he could trust this man. Narui turned back to his Vice Captain and his Third Seat, "You can give me the report later, open the gates and send the men from our division back to Soul Society, they're are occurances of Menos breaking through to Soul Society as well." He said.

"My name is Lucian Wills, Extended Special Forces, First Response Team, North American East Coast Division. I was on leave for a short while when I picked up a peculiar ammount of Reiatsu for this area in the real world." Lucian droned his rank as if it were a tiring ritual to him, recited again and again. He perked up the moment he finished stating his rank, smiling and extending a hand to Gina.
"I know some kidou that could mend you up fairly well, I presume. I may not be as good as most of Squad 4, but my group knows I have a decent knack for it." Lucian said with a quiet smile, his hand glowing a soft blue. For now, he'd just try to ease her pain. Intensive healing could be done once they were out of the field.
"It's always Menos, isn't it? We can't ever just have to deal with the standard Hollows anymore. I, for one, would love to just have a simple scrap with a newly formed hollow, or something like that. These Menos always fight the same. Stomp stomp, chomp chomp, add a cero to spice, and then go tear-assing away the moment anybody makes 'em bleed." Lucian mock sighed, and sealed his sword once more. He slipped it back into its sheath, and looked towards the group.
"Mind if I accompany you all? As I said, I'm on leave, but I lost my Hell Butterfly a few weeks ago, and my orders I sent to Squad 10 to requisition another one still haven't cleared."

"Narui-taichou! I'm so glad you are here!" Gina said, sitting with her back against a tree, covered in blood and sweat. "We tried everything to stop the Menos, but sadly we couldn't make it" Gina cried, coughing up blood.
"This person over here appeared out of nowhere and dealt a great amount of damage to this Menos" Zack said, pointing towards Retsuiya. Narui asked him a few questions, as Retsuiya introduced himself. Meanwhile, Lucian appeared on the scene, and introduced himself to Gina and Zack. Gina extended her hand and firmly shaked Lucian's.
"That's a hell of an introduction" Gina said, smiling back at him, and giggling at his very extended title. "I will gladly accept your help, "Special" Lucian" Gina said, shortening his title to a single word.
"Narui-taichou!" another voice screamed from a nearby distance. The vice-captain quickly approached, catching his breath. "Number 3! Zack! You are both okay!" he said, taking deep breaths. "For a second there I thought you weren't going to make. I'm so glad Narui-taichou got here on time!" he said.
"Vice-captain, tell me one thing" Gina said, as Special Lucien was healing her "Why does Zack get to be called by his name when you know I hate you calling me that!?" she screamed at him, closing one of her eye in pain, clutching her fist.
"You keep calling me "Vice-captain" he said, looking directly towards Gina.
"Shit... touche" Gina said, looking the other way in embarrassment. Special Lucien finished casting his Kidou. The vice-captain laughed.
"Thanks a lot Lucien" Gina said, trying to stand up by herself. "I think I can get to intensive care by myself. They'll be able to fix up my leg in no time" she said, making a pause. "You are welcome to come back with us."
Captain Narui opened up a door to Soul Society, and everyone there walked towards it.
OOC: Yes, a year and a month after no posts. This probably counts back as bringing a dead topic, but I really don't want it to die. So if everyone is willing to continue this awesomeness that is this Bleach RP, I promise I'll post ASAP this time around, as long as life doesn't interfere.
Played some of your characters a bit, hope you guys didn't mind.

OOC: Bonus points if this crosses over with El's Bleach RP and my paper and pencil RPs at some point. (Actually, nevermind on mine. Lucian and Bryony are both NPCs from that. I tweaked them a little to better fit the RPs here, but their basic nature is unmarred.) That would be totally epic. Of course, by then, we may as well make it its own forum...
BIC: Lucian smirked at his new nickname, and turned to meet Gina's gaze.
"With how convoluted things get with the Special Forces, it's understandable. I still don't get why we aren't our own division, but I guess that helps with the secrecy or something. Maybe somebody just likes the whole cloak and dagger thing," Lucian concluded, the glow on his hands intensifying. After finishing the shoddy patch-job he had managed to do on Gina's leg, he turned to face the captain.
He bowed deeply, assuming they had managed to overhear the introduction. The movement was stiff, awkward, a learnt behavior he had forced himself into. A shard of glass dangling from his neck swayed in the breeze.
"No, thank you. It's been a pain in the butt being locked out for so long, so really you all are doing me a favor," He smiled and wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve. "Besides, it'll be nice to have some company. My normal routine around here is essentially just running around looking for Hollows in an appointed area twice the size of a normal assignment, so I don't get to talk with others very much."

"Nice to meet you all." Reitsuya muttered, he felt as if he was submerged in a different world suddenly. He suddenly remembered... Something... Something that ate his flight to Chicago. The whole plane, to be exact. He shivered, he wasn't sure he wanted to know where he'd been after that.
"Alright enough gawking!" Narui yelled at the seatless shinigami in his squad, "Through the gate. We have enough to worry about in Soul Society without trying to cover rural fringe area's." He stretched slowly, then looked at Zack. "You handled that well, I'll talk with the other Captains about finding you a Vice Captain seat. We need more people with resolution and clear heads."
Narui shook his head, looking around at the massacre. Few of the shinigami had actually died, but injuries were just as good in times of war. Reitsuya caught Narui's eye, "Yeah you to." The Captain said, gesturing towards the gate.
Reitsuya shrugged, and quickly walked through it. Whatever was on the other side, it was better than the crimson ground he'd come from.
OOC: Feel free to auto me/everyone else through the gate and to where-ever it is we are going in Soul Society. I donno which world gate we're exiting, so best leave that to you.
