The following is the currently planned plot events. It is a guide, a glimpse into the future so to speak. If you'd like to have a personal plot for your character, tying it into these events will help you become a more involved part of the story line!
As events are started and finished, they will be accompanied by links and have their descriptions edited to accurately describe which characters were present and just what exactly happened IC.
The plot is split into 3 arcs right now, one for each organization. There will be 3 events in each arc. Once these first arcs are over, what happens from there will be entirely dependent on all the rpers who are active at the time. Your decisions and choices from there will shape the nature of future arcs.
Espada Formation Arc
A deep and visceral roar can be heard across all of Hueco Mundo as the oldest Vasto Lorde rips off his own mask and assumes the form of an arrancar. The resulting burst of reiatsu is so incredibly massive that it can be felt from every corner of the white sands and the menos forest. Other arrancar, sensing this massive power, converge on the location. Some are simply investigating, some are hoping to find a leader, some hope to find a friend, each has their own reason to gather but nevertheless the threads of fate draw each one to a single spot. There, an organization is formed on unsteady grounds. This group seeks to establish a position of power to reign over all of Hueco Mundo. However there are still 4 powerful hollows that contest the authority of this new group which has donned the name "Espada".
1st Event: The Gathering
The arrancar gather and choose whether or not to join the espada. This would start as a single thread but will quickly branch off into several different threads to avoid clutter. The purpose is to establish how your characters interact with each other and to draw lines in the sand between allies, enemies, and others.
2nd Event: Subjugation of the 4 Kings
With the Espada Established, there are still Four powerful hollows that must be eliminated before control over Hueco Mundo can be established. The rpers themselves can choose the order in which they'd like to tackle the 4 kings and whether or not they go alone or with help. Each King will have its own type of plot. Two will be combat focused. They aren't willing to submit and will die before bowing down to the Primera and players will have to cut through their minions before facing down the King himself. The other two will have the optional choice of a social approach. They will be willing to listen if you speak first and may potentially become powerful allies, however both will have their own wants and desires...
3rd Event: Wish Upon a Scar
The Primera has been busy while the rest of the Espada were conquering their domain. Once all 4 Kings have been defeated or made into fellow Espada, the Primera calls a meeting and reveals what he's been up to as well as his future intentions. He will have visited the world of the living after centuries of knowing only the world of hollows. There he will meet a human fullbringer with a very strange power. He can grant the wishes of others, but at the cost sacrificing part of his own future. Using this power, the man tried to save his wife and ended up losing the baby she was carrying. He was then begged to use the power to save the life on another and in doing so lost his wife. This left the fullbringer in a state of apathy and depression. The Primera has a talk with this man and out of pity wishes that he could grant the Fullbringers own wish. Little did he know that the fullbringers true wish was for the world to simply end. From then on, the Primera's main driving goal is to destroy find a way to stop time and end the world. To that end, he orders the Espada to infiltrate the Dangai and destroy it in an attempt to destroy time.
At this point, the players would choose whether or not they will side with the Primera creating a split within the faction. However it doesn't have to become all out war between the Espada. Since many of the NPCs might still be stronger than the rpers, those with doubts will begin to form their own silent resistance and warn the shinigami of the plot.
Shinigami Decimation Arc
The Visoreds have not yet gained their hollow powers and the Shinigami remain as they have been for the past thousand years. But a sudden plague begins to spread. A horrible virus begins to consume one life after another, yet Seireitei's best medical and scientific minds can only determine one thing about the sickness for sure. It is hollow in nature. Because of this, the Shinigami go into lock down and only those who are without a doubt uninfected are allowed to come and go through the senkaimon out of fear for passing the terrible virus into the World of the Living. This virus will be how some Shinigami become Visored later on. But generally it is used as an excuse for why we have so few of them active for now and why there are so few captain-class shinigami.
1st Event: Burn The Unclean
The virus has already been spreading for a month and several important officers such as captains and vice captains have been infected. Central 46 is in a state of panic and decides to take extreme measures to ensure the virus does not spread any further. Those whom were inflicted are gathered in the center of seireitei, a barrier is rased around them, and they are given an ultimatum. Take your own lives, or be killed by those who have yet to be infected. This causes chaos as men and women afraid to die begin to turn on their former comrades. The thread will start out with everyone present, but quickly branch off into several threads as rpers find someone to fight and choose which side to fight for. Those who want to be visoreds will catch the infection in this thread. But be warned as hiding the fact that you've caught the virus will become difficult as time goes on.
2nd Event: The Show Must Go On
Despite being extremely low on man power, the shinigami must still protect the world of the living. Rpers are sent on missions with various objectives depending on the character. Those who just want to fight will be given hollows to kill while those who want more social threads will be given NPCs to protect, escort, or otherwise interact with.
3rd Event: Sin's of our Fathers
The Captain Commander calls the most promising of the supposedly uninfected to a secret meeting. This includes all currently active rpers. There he reveals that the same fullbringer the Primera Espada met, has a history with the shinigami as well. The one who begged him to to save another's life was no other than the Captain Commander. The terrible truth is that the person the fullbringer was asked to save, the wish that stole his wife, was the Vice Captain of the 1st Division. The Vice Captain had been attacked by a hollow which had fused itself to his spiritual body and it was using him as a hostage, demanding to be allowed to escape the Hueco Mundo. The wish was to save the Vice Captain's life, but it had horrifying consequences. The hollow was removed from his body and he was saved, however the wish turned the hollow into the very virus that had been wiping Soul Society clean of all shinigami. The Captain Commander blames himself and states that he had always felt guilty for being a shinigami and not being able to save everyone. He always thought that if that was the case, what was the point in having shinigami in the first place? Perhaps it would be better if the were gone. Perhaps turning the hollow into the virus was in some sick way granting that wish he had always held locked away within his heart.
Suddenly, the arrancar's warning about the attack on the Dangai arrives. The Shinigami are spurred into action in an attempt to intercept the Espada.
Living World Chaos Arc
With the virus limiting the number of shinigami available to fight hollows and the battle for territory going on in hueco mundo, many more hollows than usual have been appearing in the world of the living. Fullbringers, Quincy, and the few Bounto remaining on earth band together with the rest of the humans to defend themselves from the hordes of hollows threatening peace. The Quincy develop barrier which can isolate an area into a pocket dimension that mimics the original environment. Spirits "defeated" within this dimension are not truly destroyed. Their reishi is simply sealed into a sphere called a "Soul Capsule" where they rest in a state of hibernation. Hollows captured within can then be released later for shinigami to purify them. This lets the group operate without incurring the wrath of soul society. The organization names itself Hound, implying that they are the guard dogs who will protect earth and "fetch" hollows for the shinigami while they are undermanned.
1st Event: Stray Dogs
A universal(in all languages) message is sent out across the world of the living so only spiritual humans who can see ghosts would be able to see or hear it. The message is a call to arms urging anyone with the power to fight hollows to gather. From there, the thread will break into smaller threads where each Quincy, Fullbringer, Human, and Bounto are approached by a member of Hound and asked to join. It is up to the rper and they wont be forced, however some of the recruiters might be a bit pushy for those of you who like to fight.
2nd Event: Bite To Match The Bark
Whether the rper chose to join Hound or not, they are then wrapped up in a Hound related mission. They are either sent to intercept a hollow or find themselves face to face with one that just finished killing a Hound member and is about to move on to more innocent souls. Players who wish to have more social threads will be given NPCs to interact with much like with the Shinigami.
3rd Event: Break The Bond
After spending time fighting the hollows, many quincy desire to go back to the old methods of simply eliminating hollows and others in the group start to agree including fullbringers, humans, and bounto. A Hound becomes divided and it's leader calls the organization together to settle any differences. During this meeting, the leader is assassinated and a coup is held by those who want to return to destroying hollows. It is up to the rpers which side they take. Battles begin and powers clash which start to weaken the fabric of the dimensions in the local area.
From there, a 4th event involving all 3 organizations would kick off involving the Dangai attack and the consequences of that occurring at the same time as the dimensional disturbance caused during the Hound Event. The events will unseal something that none of the 3 organizations could have predicted and that something will become the central focus for future conflict from there.
As events are started and finished, they will be accompanied by links and have their descriptions edited to accurately describe which characters were present and just what exactly happened IC.
The plot is split into 3 arcs right now, one for each organization. There will be 3 events in each arc. Once these first arcs are over, what happens from there will be entirely dependent on all the rpers who are active at the time. Your decisions and choices from there will shape the nature of future arcs.

The thread will start out with everyone present, but quickly branch off into several threads as rpers find someone to fight and choose which side to fight for. Those who want to be visoreds will catch the infection in this thread. But be warned as hiding the fact that you've caught the virus will become difficult as time goes on.
2nd Event: The Show Must Go On
Despite being extremely low on man power, the shinigami must still protect the world of the living. Rpers are sent on missions with various objectives depending on the character. Those who just want to fight will be given hollows to kill while those who want more social threads will be given NPCs to protect, escort, or otherwise interact with.
