I noticed we don't seem to have a thread collating plans for the plot going forward. I'm not even sure what the general plan is currently, or if we have anything resembling a main villain.

Perhaps we could use this thread as a way of noting down the different plots and what some thoughts are for upcoming events, even plan out some of the NPC's we are going to need.

One thought I have been having is about the org I set up, Nox Xorik - it's currently mostly for fun but if we wanted I could definitely make them into a serious threat. We could use it to tie an awful lot of things together - the leader and founder, Seach Taraign, is also known as the 'Shadow That Is' for most of his power (and his Zanpakuto) takes the form of an amorphous shadow around him, and he was originally, long ago in his human life, a Fullbringer - although given changes we made here it seems more likely he was a Darkbringer.

We also then have this mysterious 'Heart of Darkness' that Dante has, that seems fairly random and out of place, but could definitely tie into him in some way.

If it sounds interesting to you, I can write up a short synopsis on how it would all work.

I had an idea about a shinigami/soul society plot. I planned it based around a legend that was told or more so a bedtime story told when the Watanabe rebellion occurred, it is about a group of monks who are acclaimed as early practitioners of kido. Basically the Monks existed in harmony with some mastering the Naido Arts (Inner Path Arts) and others focusing on the Gedo Arts (Outer Path Arts) basically the Naido Arts focus on using Yang, it encompasses things to do with the soul and healing, the Gedo however is based on making oneself exist outside the boundaries of life and death and the story goes on to a Gedo Master wanting more power so he killed his brother and absorbed his powers (his brother being a Naido Practitioner) and this gave him the powers of "a god" with this power he killed the rest of the monks in fear they would learn how to achieve this power too although not before they sealed him with the cost of their lives hence ending their legacy.

Now, the plot is obviously about this Monk being freed and attempts to take over Soul Society as its God, he would be a master of Kido as well as having powerful abilities which would make him hard to defeat, I have it planned he uses his powers of Gedo to summon an army of deceased souls from the "samsara" or "Wheel of Reincarnation" and uses this to wage war on the Seireitei.

Although not to get ahead of ourselves I think we should start working on some NPCs for plots, I am already making one of the leaders for Yakuza who might serve as a Darkbringer leader. He could be useful in some plots since he would make an excellent antagonist.
