Welcome to the world of Bleach

A translucent man walks down a busy street, softly sobbing, calling out to the other pedestrians, being ignored. Reaching out to them, phasing right through them. He looks down to his chest to look at the small metal pad with a chain hanging from it. The chain links have tiny mouths, the chain devouring itself. The man slips into a dark alley and slumps down against a wall. The chain, only has two links remaining. He desperately grabs at the chain, holding tight. His sobbing getting louder, turning into a panic. One link left. He shoots up, gripping the link, desperately trying to halt the mouths. The last link is devoured, the base plate begins to crumble. He lets out a cry for help, that distorts into a scream of terror as his body disintegrates. A moment of silence passes, as the mans body reforms back, but no longer a man. A hulking deformed beast with a hole through its body where it's heart would be, still screaming. The face still resembling the man, as a white liquid violently secretes from his mouth and eyes before solidifying into a large mask, it's eyes a sinister glowing red, the man is now a Hollow. The Hollow looks out from the alley onto the street, at humans, and lets out a deep raspy word, "hungry."

The Shinigami woman stands on a tall spire, impossibly balancing on a point, silhouetted by a full moon. She looks down, scanning the city below her. She pulls out a small phone, and flips it open to reveal a small map with a red dot on it, gently pulsing. She launches from the spire, gliding down towards her destination. She softly lands on the street, and continues to run down the streets. She abruptly stops at a crossroad. A hulking beast with a white mask hunched over in the middle of the street. She unsheathes her katana. The Hollow turns around, revealing a human in its mouth, only the legs hanging from it's lips. It scowls at her and with a single gulp, the legs disappear inside of it. The Hollow lets out a roar and charges at her, engaging in battle. The two furiously battle through the night, exchanging blows. With a final slash the Hollow falls to it's knees, it's visage disperses, revealing the man it once was. He looks up to the woman as she sheathes her blade. He pleads to her, "I don't want to go to hell." She looks down to him with a subtle smile, "you're not going to hell, my blade has purified your sins, you're going somewhere better. You're going to the Soul Society." The man closes his eyes, lets out a sigh of relief and his body disperses into a beautiful display of glowing particles.

Hueco Mundo

Spanish for "Hollow World", is the dimension in which Hollows and Arrancar usually reside. It lies in between the Human World and Soul Society. An unchanging night covers the sky, an endless white desert covers the ground. The tree-like objects are not plants, but rather quartz-like minerals.

Hell

Is the place where deceased Humans and cleansed Hollows are sent too if they were wicked and committed heinous crimes when they were alive. These sinners are forever tormented for their crimes. Should they die while in Hell, they will continuously be revived to prolong their suffering.

Chapter 2: Factions

Within this Chapter you will find many factions your character can be apart of. Each specific faction will have their own rules on how to join as well as their own benefits.

Choosing a faction can greatly shape the decisions, motives and course of the campaign.

Is your group all Shinigami, working together to defend Soul Society from the Hollow and any other forces that would disrupt the balance of souls?

Are you a group of Quincy trying to find purpose and identity after being led to a bloody war and betrayed by the previous leader?

Perhaps you're a group of Hollow trying to survive the desolate wastes of Hueco Mundo, attempting to feed as much as possible to not regress back into a mindless beast?

Or are you a group of friends just finishing high school and discovering your able to see ghosts, and have extraordinary abilities?

Despite which faction you choose, within each one you will earn Renown.

Bonds and Contacts

As a benefit of your faction membership, you have contacts both inside and outside the faction. Contacts are useful resources in the worlds, where a friendly face can be more valuable than gold.

As stated in the Player’s Handbook, bonds represent your connections to people, places, and events in the world. Contacts are people you have a connection to, but they’re not necessarily bonds. People can be bonds if they inspire you, motivate you, or make you act against your best interests. (They can represent flaws if their existence amounts to a weakness for you.) Contacts, in comparison, are simply people you know. They might be friends, rivals, or even family members, but their relationship with you is rarely as strong as with a bond.

Starting Contacts

Your character starts the game with three contacts: an ally in their faction, a rival in their faction, and an ally or rival in another faction. Tables in each faction section help you determine who these contacts are — facts that you can build on by working with your DM to add some details. The table entries for contacts are written in the first person, where “I” is your character.

You’ll roll twice on the Contacts table for your faction. Your first roll gives you an ally. Your second roll gives you a rival, who might be friendly, jealous, or antagonistic. (It’s possible for these to be the same person; a single person might be generally friendly toward you and simultaneously jealous of your success, for example.) Then you’ll roll once on the table of contacts from other factions. That contact could be either an ally or a rival, or you might instead gain a third contact from your own faction.

Factionless

The main factions of Bleach might be considered all there is to this setting, but they aren't all that makes up this world. There are many people that might not be part of the factions.

Many of the souls in Soul Society are not part of the Gotei 13. Most of them are regular souls within the Rukongai just trying to live out there lives as best they can. Some Shinigami might reside within the Human World being either exiled as punishment or fugitives in hiding.

Hollow that are not part of the Espada are either too weak to join, afraid to be eaten or see no value or desire to join them.

Many Quincy residing in the surrounding city of Silbern are the same as the souls within the Rukongai, your average commoner.

Within the Human World, there are Fullbringers who are not part of Xcution because they either haven't been recruited yet, avoid them, or are unsure of their own power and hide it.

Gotei 13

The Thirteen Court Guard Divisions serves as a military force for Soul Society with it's primary responsibilities consisting of:

• The defense of the Seireitei, the center of Soul Society.
• The deployment of Division members into enemy territory for combat operations.
• The deployment of Task Forces as defensive measures in the Human World.
• The guiding of souls to Soul Society.

Lieutenant

Also refereed to as the Assistant or Vice Captain, they are the 2nd seated officer in the a division.

Lieutenants function as executive officers for their division, taking care of or supervising day-to-day operations. Along with their captains, they are not assigned to one specific squad. They generally only know the Shikai of their Zanpakutō but they are still the second strongest in their division. In the case of a division captain's death, departure, or other circumstances making them unable to perform their duties, the lieutenant acts as the "substitute captain" until another can be assigned.

The authority to appoint or dismiss a lieutenant lies solely with the captain of the respective division, a privilege which was granted to them with the support of the Central 46 Chambers. Captains reserve the right to appoint multiple lieutenants at a single time, though this is rarely done due to it being both considered highly unorthodox and heavily frowned upon by the Central 46 Chambers. Though rarely exercised, any potential candidate retains the right to decline the nomination.

Seated Officers

Seated officers are the remainder of the officers in the Gotei 13 which hold ranks at or below 3rd Seat. Captains and lieutenants have the ranks of 1st and 2nd Seats, respectively. Next to that, there are 18 more seats (3rd-20th). In the Gotei 13, only one person can hold a senior officer rank (such as 3rd or 5th seat), but there are several holders of junior officer ranks (e.g. 20th seat). Seated officers often lead sub-units within each division.

Size and Recruitment

Each Division is made up of just over 200 Shinigami, with the Gotei 13's standing force being just around 3000 total enlisted troops. The Shinigami are typically recruited through the Shinigami Academy, but it must be noted not all graduates make it into the Gotei 13. Graduates from the Academy are required to take an entrance exam for the Gotei 13, and only those who pass are allowed to join. This exam can be taken multiple times. The influence of the Noble Families can somewhat undermine this process, as Rukia Kuchiki graduated early and was placed into the Gotei 13 from Byakuya Kuchiki's workings.

Transferring to Another Division

Officers do not necessarily serve in their assigned division for life. It is customary to be transferred to another division after gaining some experience, an event which often coincides with a promotion.

1st Division

The First Division is ranked highest among the 13 Divisions. Even subordinate members of the First Division are considered model Shinigami. Emergencies must be dealt with swiftly; quick decisions and quick actions are essential. The division is able to ascertain a situation and mobilize quickly even before an order is issued. That is the true value of the First Division.

During times of peace after the war, the rudimentary monetary system was in shambles. Loan sharks began to rise and gain great power and influence.

Previously, Naruki City was under the jurisdiction of the 10th division, but after the war many roles, and duties were shuffled rearranged or consolidated. That city was consolidated under the 5th divisions duties.

Since the rise to captain status of the current Kenpachi, an unofficial rule has been added that says to be a true member of the Eleventh Division, one's Zanpakutō must be a melee-type.

The division's doctrine of dominating in battle is what appeals to its members; they believe that fighting is what makes life worth living. This is what separates the 11th Division from the others and makes them the strongest division. Everyone in the 11th Division are highly skilled in fighting. They believe if they are going to die anyway, they have to go down fighting gloriously.

The division is also set up so that to become the captain of the Eleventh, the candidate must do so through the third method of becoming a captain, killing the previous captain in front of 200 members of the Division.

Royal Guard

The Royal Guard, also known as the Zero Division, is dedicated to the protection of the Soul King, the Royal Family, and the Soul King Palace. The Royal Guard is a special organization that performs services for the Royal Family. It has a considerable amount of fighting, organizational, and executive power compared to other divisions.

Since serving the royal family is the primary purpose of the Royal Guard, they do not interfere in Gotei 13's affairs and the defense of Soul Society, even against major threats like Aizen and his Arrancar. They are known to do whatever is required by order of the Soul King.

The Royal Guard's authority supersedes the authority of all within Soul Society. Each member of the Royal Guard have had the power of the Ōken imparted onto their bones by the Soul King. They also each have a city of their own at the Soul King Palace.

The Royal Guard commonly stays within the Soul King Palace, but when they do travel, their preferred method of transportation is a huge pillar called the Tenchūren (Heavenly Pillar-Palanquin). This pillar enters from the inner dimension and lands with significant force upon its arrival. The Tenchūren, however, does not have the ability to return to the palace on its own, and relies on Kūkaku Shiba's cannon to launch it back. Additionally, there is the Chōkaimon (Super World Gate), but it can only be opened by syncing the arrival and departure times. The final and least used form of transportation is the interdimensional stairs that lead to the Seireitei, though it will take anywhere from half a day to a week of travel to get there.

Like the divisions of the Gotei 13, the Royal Guard has a unique symbol that represents the division's primary role, which is in its case based upon the Winter Daphne (Jinchōge). This symbol is placed inside the Gotei 13 symbol of a rhombus to form the division's complete insignia, which is displayed upon each member's haori.

The Wandenreich

After losing the war with the Shinigami 1,000 years ago, the Quincy escaped from the Human World into the Seireitei, the place they believed to be the most unguarded. In doing so, they used Reishi to create space in the "shadows". This is what was called the Wandenreich, the "Invisible Empire". Their plan was to use the abundant Reishi that was only to be found in Soul Society as the source of their power, so they hid and waited for 1,000 years while gathering their power.

Sometime after the defeat of Sōsuke Aizen, the Wandenreich conquered Hueco Mundo, capturing Tier Harribel in the process. In addition, they conscripted many Arrancar into their service and killed many Hollows. With the defeat of Ywach and most of their fighting force the Wandenreich was left in disarray.

Silbern Guard (Special Role)

Prerequisite: Renown 5 or higher and 7th level or higher

Members of the Silbern Guard are responsible for the defense of Silbern, the Wandenreich headquarters. Only those who have proven themselves in combat are selected to join this force. If you are accepted into the Silbern Guard, your missions will be primarily defensive in nature. You might receive orders to find new ways to fortify the fortress or to detect moles and other spies who try to gain access. Of course, given these chaotic times, you could end up defending Silbern from an all-out attack by some other enemy force.

Rank 4: Oberst (Colonel)

Prerequisite: Rank 3 and Renown 10 or higher

As a Oberst in the Wandenreich, you gain command of a small garrison and the responsibility for maintaining order and protecting people in part of a city district. You have four brigades under your command. As described for rank 3, each brigade has six squads of five soldat (including a Feldwebel) reporting to them. One additional squad of 2d4 soldat is your personal retinue.

You regularly receive communications from the Sternritter who coordinate the efforts of the smaller garrisons. They keep you informed of the goals and concerns of the Emperor and can help you address them. You are then responsible for giving orders to your brigadiers, and you must answer to your Sternritter for the troops’ success or failure in achieving the army's strategic goals.

As a Oberst, your salary allows you to maintain a comfortable lifestyle between adventures.

Sternritter (Special Role)

Prerequisite: Rank 3, Renown 15 or higher and 10th level or higher

As a Sternritter you're the emporer's elite guards. In this role, you are advised - and ordered around - by the Sternritter Grandmaster. You are in regular communication with the Emperor, who places you in charge of a major faction initiative. You might be tasked with improving recruitment, developing a plan for dealing with another faction, or collaborating with one, as well as leading an invasion.

At this rank, you gain a Sternritter Medallion (described in chapter X) at the start of each mission you undertake on the faction’s behalf. You draw a salary sufficient to maintain a wealthy lifestyle.

Thronfolger (Heir to the Throne) [Special Role]

Prerequisite: Rank 4, Renown 25 or higher and 15th level or higher

This position can only be bestowed by the Emperor. Your power, skillset, or mind has been acknowledged by the Emperor and they decided on you as their successor in the event of their death, or when they step down.

At this rank you are under the wing of the Emperor as they familiarize you with their duties, from managing the Sternritter, to running the country.

Xcution

Xcution is a secret society initially assembled under the founder and former Substitute Shinigami Kūgo Ginjō. This faction is a haven for those persecuted or wronged in one way or another due to their Fullbring powers and to master their abilities.

Rank 4: Sectorum Primaris

Prerequisites: Renown 5 or higher in this division

As a Primaris you are placed in charge on a Sectorum. New sectorums rarely form, so you must wait for your sectorum primaris to retire (one way or another) before a position exists for you to fill, except in truly exceptional circumstances. Similar to a Sectorum Legatus, you are responsible for directing the efforts of exploring a wide variety of projects related to the focus of your sectorum. Unless an experiment turns out to be especially interesting, these efforts can carry on without your supervision. If you need to, you can enlist the aid of 5d12 sectorum members.

Between adventures, you earn a salary that supports you at a wealthy lifestyle, you are also provided a private room within the barracks.

Rank 5: Senatorum Magistrate

Prerequisites: Renown 5 or higher in this division

You have been elected as a magistrate by the Senatorum. This was in due because a previous member retired, died, or a position became vacant. As a Magistrate you and the others manage and lead the faction. Additionally, as one of the strongest members of the faction, you are also tasked with the protection and defense of the faction. All the resources of the faction are at your disposal.

Between adventures, you earn a salary that supports you at a aristocratic lifestyle.

El Reino Hueco

Spanish for The Kingdom of Hollows. This Kingdom was initially united and formed by Baraggan Louisenbairn. Through his might he was able to unite every arrancar in Hueco Mundo under his rule, and for those that would not bow to him, would be destroyed. After some time he became the undisputed King of Hueco Mundo and the original ruler of Las Noches. However, after some time he became bored as a result of nothing to do, nothing to conquer, and no one to defeat, thus rendering his army nearly useless: its only purpose had become awaiting the invasion of another force.

After Aizen's defection, he made his way to Hueco Mundo and sought out Baraggan and quickly usurped him as King. Aizen kept Baraggan alive under the condition he served him. After Aizen's defeat and baraggan's passing, Tier Harribel, previously the third Espada, took over as the new King of Hueco Mundo and ensured the continued unification of all the arrancar.

Chapter 3: The Planes of Bleach

Within this chapter you'll find information on the various planes (or realms) of Bleach. Each one unique with it's own rules, denizens and dangers.

Soul Society

Also known as the Spirit Realm, this plane is an afterlife where most souls go to and dwell until they're reincarnated into the Human Realm. While the denizens refer to it as Soul Society, this area is actually the East Branch of a larger Soul Society. The mode of life in Soul Society closely resembles that of feudal Japan.

When people die, they are assigned a number to a part of Soul Society according to when they died. Denizens never hunger here (unless they have spiritual powers) and lifespans of 2000 or more years are not unheard of. While some would describe this as a paradise, it is far from sublime. Life here is much like that of the living world. Children can be born the same way as in the Human Realm. People can also be killed as regular Humans, though they are capable of surviving wounds that would normally be considered fatal. A soul that dies in Soul Society is reincarnated on Earth as a new Human with no past memories.

Shinigami enter and leave Soul Society by unlocking the Senkaimon and using a Jigokuchō. Pluses can also enter Soul Society through Konsō. Intruders can pass through the Senkaimon in the same manner, but only in soul form. This allows spiritual beings, such as Ichigo in his Shinigami form, to enter without permission. Humans can also use such a gate through the use of Reishihenkanki (Spirit Exchangers), which convert solid matter into Reishi. Finally, Hollows can also directly rip a hole to Soul Society from Hueco Mundo, or in the case of Arrancar, using Garganta.

One of the more unusual aspects of Soul Society is its technology level. While the lifestyle and culture of Soul Society is comparable to feudal Japan, they possess technology of a level exceeding that time period. The Shinigami Research Institute has developed amazing technology to their credit, mixing technology with organic components. Allowing for the creation of creatures that do everything from detecting spiritual energy signatures to allowing Humans to see a spirit without the use of a Gigai. They possess touch-screens and databases which are in use for files and historical documentation storage found extensively in the Daireishokairo (Great Spirit Book Archive), which contains all the knowledge and history of Soul Society. View screen technology that is capable of sending signals to the Human World and Dangai, allowing for face to face conferencing. All manner of portable hand-held devices for tracking and communication purposes. Blending old traditions and ideas with new innovation, Soul Society is an enigma in this comparison.

Schatten Bereich

German for Shadow Realm, after losing the war with the Shinigami 1,000 years ago, the Quincy escaped from the Human World into the Seireitei, the place they believed to be the most unguarded. In doing so, they used Reishi to create a demiplane in the "shadows". Their plan was to use the abundant Reishi that was only to be found in Soul Society as the source of their power, so they hid and waited for 1,000 years while gathering their power. This is what was called the Wandenreich, the "Invisible Empire".

Over 1,000 years ago, Yhwach had formed a Kingdom of Quincy named the Lichtreich (Empire of Light) which extended to all the nearby countries. In the 200 years since Yhwach's birth, the Lichtreich had conquered the nearby villages and lands.

The Royal Palace

The Royal Palace is a demiplane kept suspended above Soul Society that serves as the official residence of the Soul King and its Royal Guard. The Soul King Palace consists of several layers, with one layer suspended above the other. The lowest level is comprised from many buildings of the same style to that of Seireitei. From this, a large stairway leads upwards to a wide and flat expanse, with both areas at the base and top of these stairs being lined by rows of huge, circular pillars. This area is known as the Royal Palace Approach. Floating above are five discs, Known as the zero estates, with a town on each disc, each one ruled over by one of the Royal Guard members. Suspended higher still is a large cylindrical structure that has a conical top and bottom, this is the Royal Palace proper.

Hell

Is an afterlife where Souls are sent if they were wicked when they were Human. For example, the Zanpakutō of a Shinigami can only cleanse Souls of the sins they committed as Hollows. If the spirit committed heinous crimes as a Human, it will be sent through the Gates of Hell instead of Soul Society.

The Gates of Hell are chained shut and adorned with the bandaged head and torso of a skeleton on each door. The arms of both skeletons are positioned at an angle to pull the gates open when it is summoned. On the inside, the Gates appear to be prevented from opening fully by two thick ropes with charms attached to them. The face and left arm of a large demonic creature can be seen behind the Gates. It has armor plating on its upper arm and it wields a blade. Its left arm and face are covered in tattoos resembling tribal markings. The demon skewers the souls entering Hell with its blade, and pulls it through the Gates, while laughing. The Gates then close and the entire structure cracks and crumbles into nothing.

Aside from being an afterlife for sinners, Hell's other primary function is to hold deceased captains of the Gotei 13, due to the Reishi comprising their bodies being too dense with Reiatsu to be reabsorbed by Soul Society and such powerful Reishi being too risky to allow to remain intact in the realm; this is accomplished by the performance of Konsō Reisai twelve years after a captain's death, though until the usage of this ceremony for Jūshirō Ukitake, the captains and lieutenants of the Gotei 13 had no idea it would result in their former comrades being cast into Hell.

Similar to the balance of Souls between the Human World and Soul Society, Hell's integrity is maintained by a balance of Reiatsu between it and the combined realms of the Human World and Soul Society. When that balance is disrupted those within Hell can wrench open the gates and enter the Human World. During such an imbalance, performance of the Konsō Reisai is accompanied by the appearance of Jigoku no Rinki (Hellish Phosphoplasm), black blobs of a non-Reishi substance that float through the air of Soul Society around the grave of the deceased captain that the ceremony is being performed for as well as in the air of the Human World where a denizen of Hell has entered the realm; this substance is harmless when touched normally, but if a globule is cut in two by a Zanpakutō, its contents become acidic. Individuals who enter the Human World from Hell by taking advantage of this imbalance do so using a portal resembling a circular Garganta lined with teeth, though they can also be pulled back into Hell through the usual Gates.

Hueco Mundo

Spanish for Hollow World, is the plane in which Hollows and Arrancar usually reside. It lies in between the Human World and Soul Society. Though it is separated from the bordering dimension known as the Dangai. It can be accessed by traversing the Garganta, a void between the worlds which can be crossed by Hollows, allowing them to travel to any other dimension at will.

An unchanging night covers the sky, an endless white desert covers the ground. The tree-like objects are not plants, but rather quartz-like minerals. The landscape of Hueco Mundo is a seemingly never-ending white desert, with a multitude of dunes, littered with boulders. In Hueco Mundo, the moon is on the opposite lunar phase of that in the Human World. The vast desert seems to lack any bodies of water and contains rocky formations. Like in Soul Society, the atmosphere is filled with a high concentration of Reishi, thus allowing smaller Hollows to gain nourishment despite the lack of Human souls.

Similar to the case of Human World deserts, active life in Hueco Mundo appears to be few and far between. Hollows generally dwell below the surface or in other areas until something provokes them to leave their shelter, like the intrusion of a foreign entity. All Hollows dwell in Hueco Mundo regardless of their shape, size, or power. When a hollow would be destroyed, and it wasn't slain by a Zanpakutō, or annihilated by Quincy's Heilig Bogen, they will reform in Hueco Mundo some time later.

The Beast Realm

An afterlife of boundless wilderness, nature and fauna. When Humans or hollows commit heinous crimes, they're sent to Hell. However, when a Soul from Soul Society, or Schatten Bereich commit heinous crimes, they're reincarnated as a beast in the Beast Realm.

Those who have died and are reincarnated in the beast realm are referred to as Petitioners. When a petitioner is brought to the Beastlands, they take on the form of a beast that represents their crimes and live out as the animal as punishment. For example, if a murderer who preyed upon others would be sent here, they would take on the form of a mouse or rabbit, to be hunted upon. The petitioners have vague memories of their life before the Beastlands, mostly emotions around certain people, objects or creatures.

The Beast realm has a layer for every biome. Each layer has weather that is regionally distributed and provides all manner of conditions for the habitats of all creatures. Weather in one region doesn't affect adjacent regions, so an arid desert could exist next to a snowy winter region for example. These layers also interact and intersect other layers in various places as well.

Chapter 4: Character Options

The races within this setting are primarily Human. You won't find Dwarves, Elves or other common races you normally would within a high-fantasy setting.

Artificial Souls

Translated from Gikon in Japanese, Artificial souls and the means to insert them into a body were created by Kirio Hikifune and her team of scientists. Before she came along, the thought of making artificial souls was a foreign one. She built upon the idea of Gikon and created the Gikongan (artificial pill). According to the core theory behind the artificial soul is to take the Reiatsu from one source and inject it into a different body, with the intention of turning the introduced power into that body's own. For this great achievement and contribution to Soul Society, Kirio was promoted to the Royal Guard.

Some time later more research was made into this technology. In an attempt to even the gap between Shinigami and Hollows, as Hollows generally outnumber Shinigami, project spearchead was initiated. This project seeked to create Modified Souls, more commonly referred to as Mod-Souls, are artificial souls designed to enhance regular Human physiology, making them capable of battling Hollows equally.

The Mod-Souls created varied in their abilities and can be defined by different types. For example, one Mod-Soul may be able to run many times faster than a regular Human while another may be many times stronger than normal. The Mod-Souls, just like regular artificial souls, are condensed into tiny, candy-like orbs. However, their originally intended purpose was to be placed into corpses to achieve their function as soldiers to combat Hollows. To fit with this purpose, they are also more independent than regular artificial souls.

The Mod-Souls were exterminated after the experiment was halted due to ethical reasons, since they were intended to be used to reanimate Human corpses to be used as weapons against Hollows. Most were exterminated, though few escaped, some were hidden, and few were mixed in with regular Gikongan.

Now the pills are mainly used by Shinigami when they're operating in the Human Realm when they have a gigai. By ingesting a Gikongan the pill forces the soul out of the body and allows the artificial soul to take control of it, operating in a pre-programmed manner until removed by the Shinigami. They can be used on a body which has no soul, such as a corpse, or even an inanimate object, such as a stuffed animal. These artificial souls possess their own personalities, which can be specially designed to fit one's specifications.

Currently, gikongan are commonly called Soul Candy, because the Shinigami Women's Association complained that its name was not cute and had it changed. To fit with the more informal name, Soul Candy is contained in toy dispensers, which have the heads of cartoon characters on them. These dispensers come in many varieties, with some being more popular than others. Artificial souls tend to have personalities which reflect traits of their corresponding dispenser's character.

Humans

A living being who resides in the Human Realm. Most, if not all, beings who live in the Human World are Humans.

The majority of Humans are completely oblivious to the dangers they are exposed to from Hollow and other evil spirits. It is unknown how many Hollow attacks against Humans occur under normal circumstances, but Hollows make their former loved ones into their first victims before they begin preying on Pluses and Humans with spiritual powers. A severe enough attack from a Hollow, or a Shinigami, on a living Human would not only result in bodily harm, but in the removal of the Human's Soul from the body. The damage can be easily repaired through Kidō if the Chain of Fate is not broken.

Shinigami are forbidden by law from attacking Humans unless ordered to. They generally ignore Humans, but a part of their duties is protecting the Humans in jeopardy from Hollows. Some Shinigami have a tendency to view Humans as inferior, despite the majority of Souls, including most Shinigami, being of Human origins.

A very small percentage of the Human population develops a high amount of Spiritual Power; they are known as "High-Spec" Humans. These Humans can see and interact with Reishi-made objects, such as Souls, to varying degrees and for various reasons.

Quincy

Japanese for Monk of Destruction, Quincy are spiritually aware Humans able to absorb and manipulate Spirit Particles into spiritual weapons. The Quincy were a clan scattered all over the world dedicated to fighting Hollows. It is currently unknown when the Quincy first came into being. Some state that Yhwach began the Quincy and his blood flows in every Quincy. However, according to the Quincy themselves, there were Quincy before Yhwach.

While they are trained to confront Hollows in order to defeat them just as Shinigami do, the difference between the two, since ancient times, is whether or not to kill Hollows. The Shinigami purify Hollows with their Zanpakutō and send them to Soul Society, while the Quincy kill the Hollows. The idea can be seen as comparing justice and vengeance: "Hollows devour souls of Humans, so why must it be that those who harm and kill friends and relatives get sent peacefully to Soul Society?" Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi surmises Quincy are not hostile to Hollows because of a difference in ideology, because Hollow have no ideology, and believes there is only one reason: the Quincy fear the Hollows who endanger their lives. This view is corroborated by Kisuke Urahara, who reveals that Quincy have no "anti-bodies" to defend from Hollows; Hollows are poisonous to Quincy. If a Quincy is infected by a Hollow, not only does their Reiryoku weaken leading to death, but their soul itself is destroyed. This is why Quincy eradicate Hollows.

Bount

Bount are spiritually-aware beings who were artificially created by an accident during an experiment in Soul Society many centuries ago; this experiment was meant to investigate the concept and possibility of eternal life, with the researchers using Artificial Souls based on their own Souls and the Souls of their fellow Shinigami due to ethical concerns about using Human Souls, but one of the Jōkaishō used for the experiment experienced a meltdown and exploded, releasing a large quantity of energy that made its way into the cycle of rebirth and affected a large number of Souls being reincarnated in the Human World, which resulted in all the Bount being born across the world.

Due to the unique circumstances of their creation, the Bount were born with the ability to maintain eternal youth by consuming either living or dead Souls; this, combined with their fatal attacks on living Humans for their Souls, led to the myth of the vampire being created by Human society. In addition, the visible agelessness of the Bount caused Humans to persecute and hunt them down under the impression that they were witches and monsters; eventually, the Bount decided that they had no place in the Human World and sought to return to Soul Society, only to end up warring with the Quincy and slaughtered alongside them by the Shinigami. After centuries of genocide with a complete inability to produce offspring, the Bount were reduced to a small tribe under the leadership of Jin Kariya.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 1.

Immortality. You do not suffer from the frailty of old age, cannot die of old age and do not need food or water as long as each week you consume a number of souls equal to the number of Hit Die you possess.

Soul Absorption. You have the ability to consume the Soul from a creature that is grappled by you, incapacitated or restrained. Make a melee bite attack against the target. On a success, the target is drained by the amount of damage taken, and you regain hit points equal to that amount. The Drain lasts until the target finishes a long rest. A creature slain this way has it's soul consumed, removing them from the reincarnation cycle.

Empowerment. If you would consume the soul of a creature with hit die equal to or greater than yours, you gain a cumulative +1 bonus on all ability checks until you finish a long rest, and your spell point maximum permanently increases by 2.

If a creature is slain with your Soul Absorption ability, and its hit die is double your hit die or more, you choose one of the following:

• One ability score increases by 2.
• You gain a feat.

Spiritual Awareness. Bounts can see into and interact with the ethereal plane.

Lineages

Within this book you'll find the two following lineages: Soul and Visored.

Hollow

Are former Pluses who lose their hearts to despair or regret, or they remain in the Human World for too long. These corrupt spirits with supernatural powers devour the souls of both living and deceased Humans. Hollows settle in Hueco Mundo, but can traverse the Garganta into the Human World, Soul Society and other realms.

The majority of souls peacefully move on to the Soul Society after their death. However, some stay in the living world to fulfill certain goals, such as looking after a loved one, protecting a particular location, or pursuing a grudge from beyond the grave. However, with only limited abilities to interact with the living, and by definition tied to their goals, many souls find they are unable to cope when their loved ones move on or old enemies forget them. At this point, some will become dangerously obsessed with fulfilling those goals, even if the means to fulfill them renders the soul empty: for example, killing anyone who comes near a loved one in order to keep them from hurting that person. In doing so, the ghost warps into a Hollow and, ironically, often makes the focus of their obsession into their first victim.

The process by which a soul becomes a Hollow is reflected by the length of the soul's Chain of Fate, which usually resides in the center of their chest, and connects to their bodies, if present. The Chain of Fate slowly corrodes over time, coinciding with the degradation of the soul's ties to the living world. The process can be accelerated under certain conditions, such as being attacked by a Hollow, giving into extreme despair, or using certain spiritual powers. When the chain completely decays, they become a Hollow when a hole opens up on their chest where the chain was attached, signifying they have lost their heart.

Once a soul becomes a Hollow, it is driven by an eternal and insatiable hunger to devour other souls, living or dead, to fill the void caused by its descent. Hollows are usually mindless creatures concerned only with finding the most potent souls to devour. Stronger and more evil Hollows are often able to retain some of their intelligence in Hollow form, making them more dangerous than the average Hollow.

All Hollows wear masks, which are formed from the hearts they had lost as Humans. This mask protects the naked instinct which is left in a being after the loss of its heart, and obscures the original identity of the Hollow. The masks of different Hollows can differ greatly in shape and form, but are always white and skull-like. The mask can be shattered, temporarily allowing the Hollow to regain its original identity, but it will regenerate after a short period once the Hollow takes over again. When a Hollow's heart is carved out by the hole in their chests, the lost heart becomes its mask. The powers a Hollow wields are manifestations of its heart.

When a Hollow is slain by a Shinigami's Zanpakutō, the Hollow is not truly killed; its spirit is purified of the sins it committed as a Hollow. This allows the spirit within to enter the Soul Society as a Plus. In cases where a Hollow committed great sins as a mortal, its purification will summon the gates of Hell, through which the soul is dragged to its punishment. When a Hollow is killed by a Quincy, it is destroyed, soul and all. When dispatched by other spiritual powers, the Hollow will reform back in Hueco Mundo some time later.

Vasto Lorde

Are the third classification of Menos. They are extremely rare in number, and it is said that their entire number within Hueco Mundo can be counted with the fingers on one's hands. The combat capabilities of a Vasto Lorde are said to be above those of the captains of the Gotei 13.

The process for the creation of a Vasto Lorde is not fully understood. An adjuchas can devour over three thousand hollows and still not evolve into a Vasto Lorde. Some hollow speculate that a Vasto Lorde is determined upon an individual's birth as a Hollow, or perhaps before that. The only known method to become a Vasto Lorde is for an Adjuchas to devour the souls of powerful non-hollows, such as a vice captain.

Arrancar

Is a powerful hollow that has removed its mask, gaining Shinigami-like powers. A Menos usually takes on a Human shape when it becomes an Arrancar. The only ones that will definitely get a 100% Humanoid form are Vasto Lorde-class Menos. For the remaining two levels, there are many who don't get a completely Humanoid form, despite becoming Arrancar. Therefore, the closer one looks to a Hollow, the lower its power of reasoning. There have been Arrancar who have claimed that they gave up their Humanoid forms in order to obtain enormous power.

All Arrancar retain a hole in them somewhere, as well as fragments of their Hollow mask known as an estigma. A number of Arrancar have tried to conceal the remnants of their past whilst others choose to hide their faces completely to escape unwanted attention. Most also have a colored marking of some sort on their face, although some only gain these markings upon the release of their Zanpakutō.

The Arrancar seal their abilities within the form of a sword. It is entirely different from what Shinigami use. When they release their Zanpakutō's seal, they unleash their true power and their true form. Therefore, an Arrancar's release of their Zanpakutō is merely a temporary restoration to their former selves, granting them any powers their Hollow form possesses. The act of release is called Resurrección (Spanish for "Resurrection"), which is activated with a command phrase followed by the name of the sword.

Hollow Player Characters

To build a Hollow PC, it is recommended to start as an Adjuchas. To do so you first choose a Non-humanoid creature from the Monster Manual with a CR 3 or less (or another creature approved by your DM) and apply the PC Hollow template to it. You may choose monsters from a different source and/or from a higher CR if allowed by your DM.

Classes & Subclasses

This section includes the two new classes, Shinigami and Quincy.

Shinigami

A group of Shinigami are ambushed by an Espada and it's Fraccion. Akihiko engages the Espada, both clash swords and trade swings back and forth, in a brilliant display of steel and skill.

Izuna releases here Shikai, her sword manifesting into a set of heavy armor and surprises one of the Fraccion member with heavy blows, showing off her hand-to-hand expertise.

Ikuto stands in the back casting Kidō. He casts Bakudō #9 Hōrin to stop the advance of a fraccion giving Izuna an opening, he follows that up with Kaido #26 Enlarge to grow Akihiko twice his size, finally after Akatsuya distracts her opponent and gives Ikuto enought time, he finishes off the fraccion member with Hadō #33 Sōkatsui and reduces it to dust. All of these heroes are Shinigami, specialized in one type of combat learned from the academy.

You can remain in this form for as long as you spend 3 SP at the beginning of your turn.

Pact of the Symbiote

Your doll has an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 18, and a Charisma of 10.

At 1st level, your armament type is Defense. You gain the Armor armament ability and one augment.

Pact of the Tome

Your doll has an Intelligence of 18, a Wisdom of 14, and a Charisma of 10.

Your base armament type is kidō or an elemental type of your choice. You gain two armament abilities of your choice.

When released, your armament transforms into a spellbook known as a grimoire which contains any kidō you learn.

Cantrips: At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the Human spell list.

Spellbook: Your grimoire contains four 1st-level human kidō of your choice.

Spellcasting Ability: Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Bount kidō. You use your Intelligence whenever kidō refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for Bount kidō you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Ritual Casting: You can cast a human kidō as a ritual if that kidō has the ritual tag and you have the kidō in your grimoire.

Learning Spells of 1st level and Higher: Each time you gain a Bount level, you can add two human kidō of your choice to your grimoire for free. Each of these kidō must be of a level no higher than your max spell level, as shown on the Bount table. On your adventures, you might find other kidō that you can add to your grimoire.

Copying Kidō into the Grimoire: When you find a human kidō of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your grimoire if it is of a level no higher than your max spell level and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.

Copying that kidō into your grimoire involves reproducing the basic form of the kidō, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the person who wrote it. You must practice the kidō until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your grimoire using your own notation.

For each level of the kidō, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the kidō to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can cast the kidō just like your other kidō.

Arcane Recovery: At 4th level, as an action, you regain SP equal to your PB + Your Intelligence modifier. You can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

Arcane Study: Beginning at 4th level your max spell level is increased by one. Your max spell level increases by one again at 12th level.

Dual mind: At 4th level, your Doll can hold concentration for you. When you cast kidō that requires concentration, you can spend 4 SP to have your doll hold concentration

instead of you for the duration of the kidō. At 8th level this feature also applies to armament abilities you activate.

Eldritch Scribe: At 8th level, you gain the following benefits:

• The time you must spend to copy a kidō into your grimoire equals 2 minutes per spell level for the transcription.
• You can use the book as a spellcasting focus for your kidō.
• When you cast kidō as a ritual, you can use the kidō’s normal casting time, rather than adding 10 minutes to it. Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

Eldritch Scrivener: Starting at 12th level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can create up to two magic scrolls by touching two blank piece of paper or parchment and causing kidō from your grimoire to be copied onto them. Each chosen kidō must be two levels lower than your max spell level and have a casting time of 1 action. Anyone can cast the kidō from the scrolls by reading it as an action; the kidō uses your spell save DC. The kidō vanishes from the scrolls when cast or when you finish your next long rest.

Eldritch Mind: Beginning at 16th level, you have advantage on Intelligence (Arcana) checks, as your grimoire helps you remember magical lore.

Moreover, if you take damage while released, you can prevent all of that damage to you by using your reaction to roll 3d6. Your grimoire temporarily loses kidō of your choice that have a combined spell level equal to that roll or higher. For example, if the roll’s total is 9, kidō vanish from the grimoire that have a combined level of at least 9, which could mean one 9th-level kidō, three 3rd-level kidō, or some other combination. If there aren’t enough kidō in the grimoire to cover this cost, you drop to 0 hit points. Until you finish 1d4 long rests, you are incapable of casting the lost kidō, even if you find them on a scroll or in another spellbook. After you finish the required number of rests, the kidō reappear in the grimoire. Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

The lightning bolt turns back into a javelin when it reaches the target. Make a ranged weapon attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes an additional 4d6 lightning damage. The galvano javelin is consumed and dissipates.

U - The Underbelly

As an action, you spend 8 SP and choose a target you can see within 120 feet and make an investigation check, DC equal to their HD. If successful, you know how much HD the creature has and they gain a morphine charge.

Morphine Pattern (5 SP): As an action you target a creature with a schrift charge that you can see within 60 feet. That creature makes a Constitution saving throw. The DC is increased for each morphine charge they have. If the creature fails, they are knocked unconsicous for 5 rounds per morphine charge they have.

Once you finish a long rest or die, any and all morphine charges are removed.

V - The Visionary

One of the most powerful schrifts is rivaled by how dangerous and unwieldy it can be. By turning fantasy into reality you create one of many effects with this schrift. Some effects require concentration, and you can concentrate on a number of effects equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Body Hardening: As a reaction, when you are targeted by an attack roll (but before the results are revealed) you can spend 2 SP any number of times, for each time you do your AC is increased by +1 for that attack.

Spell duplication: As an action, you duplicate any spell of 8th level or lower. You don't need to meet any requirements in that spell, including costly components. The spell simply takes effect after spending the appropriate SP cost.

Retry (4 SP): As an action you undo a single recent event by forcing a reroll of any roll made within the last round (including your last turn). Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result. For example, the schrift could undo an opponent's successful save, a foe's critical hit, or a friend's failed save. You can force the reroll to be made with advantage or disadvantage, and you can choose whether to use the reroll or the original roll.

Item creation (6 SP): As an action you create one object of up to 25,000 gp in value that isn't a magic item. The object can be no more than 300 feet in any dimension, and it appears in an unoccupied space you can see on the ground.

Resistance (8 SP): One target creature that you can see gains resistance to a damage type you choose while you concentrate.

Healing (10 SP): One target creature that you can see regains all hit points, and you end all effects on them as described in the greater restoration spell.

Immunity (14 SP): One target creature that you can see gains immunity to a single spell or other magical effect while you concentrate.

Life Creation (20 SP): As an action you can either create a copy of yourself, with the same statistics as you at time of creation, or you can summon a creature of any CR not exceeding your HD, or you can create another creature (as per PC creation rules approved by your GM) with a level equal to yours minus your proficiency bonus. As an action you can dismiss the created creature.

You might be able to achieve something beyond the scope of the above examples. The GM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance; the greater the imagination, the greater the likelihood that something goes wrong. This ability might simply fail, the effect you desire might only be partly achieved, or you might suffer some unforeseen consequence as a result of what your imagined.

Conscious Control: As this schrift requires constant and precise control, losing control while concentrating on your schrift can be dangerous and thus you can suffer from any of the following drawbacks:

• If a creature lands a critical strike on your or you lose concentration from an attack roll. That creature has advantage on attack rolls against your for 1 round.
• If you lose concentration because of a spell or other magical effect, you have disadvantage on saving throws from spells or other magical effects cast from that creature for 1 round.
• When you have half of your hit points remaining, you have disadvantage on concentration checks.

W - The Wind

As an action you spend 10 SP and choose up to a number of targets equal to your proficiency bonus. While you maintain concentration, the chosen targets benefit from your schrift.

Whenever an attack roll is made against the target, and the target is aware of the attacker, the attack misses. Additionally, as an action you can use the wind to slice an opponent. Choose a creature you can see within 30 feet. They must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure they take 6d6 force damage.

X - The X-Axis

When you take the Attack action on your turn, and you make a ranged attack with your heilig bogen, you can replace any number of those attacks with an Axis attack.

Axis Attack (15 SP): You pierce through anything in your line of sight. A projectile of reishi forming a line 100-feet-long and 5-feet-wide blasts out from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line that has 100 hit points or fewer, dies. Otherwise, they take 10d8 force damage.

Y - The Yourself

As an action you spend 20 SP and target one creature you can see within 60 feet. You transform into the exact physical likeness of the targeted creature, and choose one of the additional effects. You remain transformed until you are unconsious, die or end the transformation as an action.

• You gain all memories and personality of this individual, flawlessly impersonating the target.
• You replicate the spiritual power and abilities of this individual, your statistics are replaced with that of the creature.

Z - The Zombie

As an action you spend 10 SP and lose 2 HP any number of times to target a living, non-quincy creature you can see within 10 feet. and splash them with your blood. They must make a dexterity saving throw. On a failure they gain a Zombie stack for each 2 HP you lost. On a success, they gain half as many Zombie stacks. Alternatively, you can target an unconscious or deceased creature and they are not allowed a save. Additionally, when a creature within 5 feet of you deals damage to you, for each 2 HP you lost, they gain a Zombie stack.

When a creature gains a number of Zombie stacks equal to their HD, they become a "corpse" falling under your control. They gain the "Undead" creature type in addition to their other types. Additionally, if a deceased creature becomes a Corpse, they have disadvantage on d20 rolls and all forms of movement are reduced by 10 feet. Corpses retain their personality and memories.

When a creature becomes a "corpse", they regain half their hit points. While the corpse is under your control you can issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as "Attack that creature," "Run over there," "Fetch that object", or "Harm yourself." If the corpse completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it does nothing. You can use your action to take total and precise control of the corpse. Until the end of your next turn, the corpse takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do. During this time you can also cause the corpse to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well. If the corpse was not a deceased creature when it became a corpse, whenever you issue it a command or action, it can make a Wisdom saving throw, ignoring any instructions from you for 1 round on a success.

While you are controlling a corpse you gain the following benefits:

• You don't die outright from massive damage
• If you would reach 0 HP you don't fall unconscious
• You have advantage on death saving throws
• As an action you can reduce a Corpse's maximum HP by any amount and regain that many hit points.
• As an action, you can remove a limb from a corpse to regenerate a missing limb from another willing creature you can see within 5 feet
