Hello all! This months NPC Jam will be specifically geared towards the creation of Captains and Vice Captains of the Gotei 13. Future jams will focus on the Espada and Esper, but for now lets focus on the Gotei 13!

All players who create an NPC that is approved as a Captain or Vice Captain will be allowed to gain 1 free technique or item from the character they made! OR do a tier up training thread with the NPC with only HALF the normal word/post requirements!

- The technique/item still needs to get approved in the creation area before you can obtain it.

- The technique or item MUST be gained IC, however there is no word count or paragraph requirement. So have fun with the thread in which you do so! This thread can be a solo rp or you can have someone else rp the NPC. It's up to you.

- This prize is only redeemable once per person, but multiple submissions are encouraged!

- If your NPC is not selected for a captain or vice captain position, you may re-submit them for a second try! The time limit is until October.


Step 1 - Fill out the NPC Template below and post it in this thread.

[color=#CDAD00][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u][/color] (What is your character like? How do they behave while in combat? Around others? When alone? Do they enjoy fighting? Are they a pacifist? Aim for at least 2-3 paragraphs here, us mods want to be able to get a feel for how your character would act, etc when we read the app.)


[color=#CDAD00][u][b]Role Suggestions:[/b][/u][/color] (Do you think this character would work best as an org leader? Maybe you feel it should only be used for social threads. Suggest what role you think would work best for the character here. Also place any other comments or suggestions for them such as what kind of powers they should have or anything else you think we should know.)
[/list]


Step 2 - Wait for staff to post a verdict on whether or not the character is approved for the position.


These NPCs aren't JUST supposed to be strong or cool leaders. They need to be written in such a way that almost anyone could use the NPC in a thread which means super quirky personalities might not be the best fit. But at the same time, they should stand out and be unique in one way or another. They should also fit the Division they were made for. A pacifist shouldn't be in the 11th division and a dunce at kidou shouldn't be in the kidou corps.

If you decide to add abilities, techniques, or release information to these NPCs, the best way to ensure approval is to give them powers which help their rolls as mentors. This means abilities which help other rpers with training in some way or techniques which can be used to help mentor other characters.

The amount of work required is only the minimum for normal NPCs, but putting in extra work will only help your chances. If a character is not approved as a captain or VC they will be assigned another rank until September ends or they are resubmitted.

Granted, these are fairly vague standards. Whether or not your character is approved for a Captain or Vice Captain spot is left up to staffs judgement. We'll be trying our best to ensure that the characters approved for these spots will be beneficial to the forum as useful plot and rp tools.

Liking the submissions so far. Keep em up guys!

Just want to confirm something before I start this next NPC, are we allowed to make an NPC for the Captain Commander position? Or will that be something staff does?

You may, but you'd have to keep the captain commanders roll for the plot in mind for it to be considered. For now, if you do make one, design him so you could easily fit him to captain of another division in the event something else is chosen for the captain commander.

Alright that I can do, especially since the idea(s) I have for a CC could also work for Divisions 2 or 4. Thanks for the awesomely quick answer

*Note: This particular NPC may, or may not take a while depending how in-depth I go with it.

Name: Seijin
Alias: Captain Commander, Captain, The Divine Healer, The Grandmaster.
Age: Unknown. As far as Seijin's memory can serve, he has lived at least 2500 years. Though he has further estimated that he's lived roughly 3000-4500 years given that in the earliest memories he can recall, his physical appearance is that of a middle-aged adult.
Age of Appearance: Elderly(70's+)
Gender: Male
Race/Species: Shinigami
Character Alignment: Lawful Good / Lawful Neutral
Division: First
Position: Captain Commander & Captain of the 1st Division.
Appearance:

Personality:

Wise Man

Compassionate

Family Orientated

Sinister

Perfectionist

One Man's Hope


Basic Combat Data:

Immense Spiritual Energy: -----


Perfect Reiatsu Control: -----


Grandmaster Healer: Age, knowledge, practice, interest, and his Zanpakuto's organic affinity have allowed Seijin to become the best healer within Soul Society. too this date Seijin has never lost a patient in his care. Seijin's skills withing healing branch from his knowledge of natural remedies, medical knowledge lost in the ages, healing kido, and essentially any other field within healing of ones body or mind.

Kido Master: Over his lifetime Seijin has mastered every aspect of Kido that he possibly could, and eventually he had learned everything there was to learn. Seijin can use all the incantation classes with masterful ease, though due to his perfect reiatsu control, it isn't often Seijin actually needs to utilize an incantation. Seijn is able to use all Kido up to the high seventies at full strength, without incantation.

*note: Essentially the last three sections are going to be the same. It's all a matter of age, knowledge, his drive for perfection, and centuries upon centuries of time to train his skills. It'd be quite tiresome to basically type the same thing three more times, with little re-wording based around the specific skill. If it is wished for me to fill them out, I shall, otherwise all the factors for such skill in each field are discussed(age, knowledge, etc).

Zanpakuto Name: Senju miko (Thousand Hand Priestess)

Shikai Appearance:



Bankai Appearance: The appearance of Senju Miko's Bankai is completely unknown to the current Gotei 13 & the rest of Soul Society. This is in part due to Seijin's age, and thus how long ago he obtained it, and the fact that Seijin has never been forced to use it. It is widely known that the last time Seijin used his Bankai was roughly two to three thousand years ago.

Role Suggestions: Captain Commander, otherwise Captain of the Forth Division. When it comes to Seijin's bonds with the rest of the Gotei, he see's them as his children, nieces, etc, all who serve him are a piece of the puzzle that is his family.

Unlike many, if not most Shinigami, Seijin hopes to one day somehow unite the worlds, while keeping the balance. Of course in his age, and experience he knows such a thing would never occur, at least not perfectly. Part of why Seijin is so well respected within Soul Society is because of his views of the other races. Seijin is more than willing to work with any being, as long as they can work with him, and keep peace. An example would be an Arrancar he had run into a few thousand years ago. Said Arrancar had a very different view on Humanity, and hadn't fed upon a single human soul, instead reaching it's peak of evolution through devouring Hollow souls. In the end Seijin befriended said Arrancar, simply because he was different, and refused to harm humans.

Seijin is also a Master in most of the fields a Shinigami studies, though in some fields he has become known as a Grandmaster. This is due to both his immense lifespan, and his perfectionist mindset pushing him further and further into training the arts. As such Seijin is able to teach any and all members of the Gotei, and can adapt to command any division if needed.

When it comes to battle Seijin is much colder, more calculating, and immensely calm. At least until his family is harmed. In his past Seijin has lost few Captains in battle, but when he had, it was as if Ares, the God of War, himself descended upon the battlefield.

*This is at primarily importance to me now, and some may know why... I finish Seji, if I have time.

Position: Captain

Personality: (What is your character like? How do they behave while in combat? Around others? When alone? Do they enjoy fighting? Are they a pacifist? Aim for at least 2-3 paragraphs here, us mods want to be able to get a feel for how your character would act, etc when we read the app.)
