Yes but I ask because there is a size limitation for how big you can get. So I believe there should be one for how small you can get.

How often does the Taichou Council meet?

About the size of a house cat. Ain't been added into the rules yet on account of ain't been necessary.

That's really vague- Excuse me, probably the vaguest thing you could say. What sort of things might call them into meeting, and how often might those things happen in a given year on average?

If there's no specifics, people can just say whatever they want, but do tell us that too, please.

The sort of things that might call the Taicho into a meeting are Taicho calling the other Taicho together for a meeting. Such focuses of conversation range the gamut from petty to massive, and unfortunately I don't have the time or inclination to list every conceivable topic a group of people could potentially converse over.

In summary, the Taicho Council meets whenever they are called into meeting, for whatever reason that might be.

So whatever we, as players, decide they have met/are meeting/will meet for. Got it.

is the way i figured out what an arrancar is in this thread legit? there is a vague description in the hollow information thread, so i took what i would from that and came up with my own variant, which i do hope is fine (as i took a look back in her eyes and didn't say i knew exactly how it happened or anything really about using powers/katana).

which brings me to my next question, about the hollow info. thread: could it be updated, as the hollows now have more members. and since there is limited arrancar info, would it be possible for me to maybe write something up to further describe that branch of hollow? as well as any area description or anything involving the hollow faction i am willing to do, seeing how lackluster they currently are.

What kind of metals have been discovered in the world of Akatokiyami?

how about you quit asking these silly questions and allow your imagination to flourish: this is rp. if they find something to op or out of whack, then surely they will tell you. perhaps you should refer to the periodic table and the dates elements were found.

This thread is made specificly to anwser questions of the users. Calling them silly isint realy a good thing to do, whatever one might think of them.

I cant really provide sure anwsers for the questions, since most of the setting wasnt made up by me. Just making sure the thread is nice and calm o.ob

Unfortunately our setting does not follow strictly to the timeline in real life. It's stated in one of the sections in the Help Center, and I quote out of context, "The setting for AK is a self-contained world that does not follow in the path of real world history" at this link: akatokiyami.proboards.com/thread/5094/bleached-wasteland-plot-setting.

From what I can tell it's loosely based on the real world timeline and so rather than making a mistake for the mods to clean up, I ask my question to prevent any unnecessary moderator intervention. I like my threads ran smoothly. o.ob

Lead. Tin. Copper. Iron. Bismuth. I'll even be nice and list some alloys to satisfy what I perceive as an exceptionally vague question: brass, rudimentary steel, and bronze.

Of course there are more, but your question is so evasive it has no proper answer. James' advice is sound; unless you want to tell us just what metals you intend to use, do some research and be reasonable.

Is AK home to various common breeds of wild Animals or a specific set, given that it's a region-based world?

Same answer as before. Be reasonable - if you do something ridiculous, we'll tell you. And to prevent any more similar questions, nobody is going to pull out an encyclopedia and quote for you an example of every animal, element, substance or creation, natural or man-made, in existence that could or could not exist in AK. You're a big boy, you don't need to have your hand held and told how many different breeds of sparrow you may discover on your trek from the First District to the Third but are only native to the West side.

in case this was missed prior.

I could do without the patronizing, thank you. If in the end, the little details are left to best judgement, it's all you had to say. ._. I wasn't purposely trying to annoy you Mods and distract you from your apparently busy work/life schedule.

We don't have a set definition for how they evolve because when you do give a set definition, you have to give that definition for every single possible permutation of Hollow, from snakes to flying spaghetti monsters. Therefore every evolution is dependant on the individual to describe, assuming they even want to bother. So yeah, sure, your Arrancar definition did definitely define that Arrancar.

If you have suggestions on what kind of information should be added to the Hollow Information Thread, please feel free to use the Member Suggestion Thread, or whatever we have that thread titled wherein people suggest changes they would like to see made.

Yes, Aki did say that, but I didn't realize my second question was going to be held in the same light as my first. I honestly didn't think trial and error was preferred, so I always try and ask about any and everything I can about the world of AK when the occasional situation arises. I've asked all sorts of questions in this thread, big to small, and all I'm saying is that if things have changed, it could have be relayed a little lighter.

With that said, I'm not arguing against any of this, just saying I didn't know, but now I do. o.ob

Oh and sorry for delaying your question, James.

I went ahead and updated the Hollow Information Thread to reflect the latest applications.

Furthermore, let's not clutter the Q&A with unrelated discussion.

This might be a silly question, but to avoid confusion in the future:

Is it possible, after associate-Shinigami are made and unseated, for them to be promoted by a Taichou that is not the same player?

For example (off the top of my head): If Azoth, now at the unseated position, could be promoted by Malik, considering it is not as high as Chishio's position, nor is it Malik's character?

Thanks for answering, I was merely curious. I'm also assuming this would apply to the hollow/Rukon if an organization was developed for them as well. :B

So I threw this out at the Cbox and Cain said I should put it here so let's begin:

Is there any way we could have some kind of system to implement Shinigami having their own custom Kidou spells? Granted, I know that only parts of Akatokiyami are canon with Bleach, but I think that maybe this could be cool to see what people come up with.


And inb4 complaints about limitations:


1. Limit the number of spells to 1 to maybe 3 at the most.

2. Make said spells require the person to have set abilities first. (Maybe someone trying to make a Kido for a barrier that hides Reiatsu, they should have one or more of the "Conceal Reiatsu" abilities)

3. Make whoever wants to do so have a certain Reiatsu Skill level. I would assume 3 and above. Maybe 4 if you wanna be strict.

Just an idea.

I don't see why not. If the character itself is a complete slacker yet the associate is a hard worker and a bit of a brown-noser, it'd be up to said Taicho. For example, were it me I'd certainly promote said associate and make sure the actual character was present for it. Would make for some lulz.

I just wasn't sure if that would be allowed, you know? I think it makes sense a bit, and could work with our small community, but wouldn't it also be good to have available positions open? Plus I don't think it is stated in the rules, so yeah, it's just what I've been thinking of!

Given Aki's absence, who should we PM in regards to thread grading?

Sorry, I had overestimated Aki's absence. I thought she was leaving permanently.

I think I put this here, but, I was wondering if my ability for Nero is still in grading or if I should redo that.

Just wondering.

Zane, post that in the member involvement thread if you're still behind it.

I've posted in your thread, Sei, but next time, just post in the ability thread.

Why is this form of RP so stagnant and boring? Seriously, I love and want to RP but it seems like we as a community [those of us who've been here since SR days] keep digressing. We got rid of ninjas which was doing better than the bleach part and now look at us.

Even so, we have a new admin? I'm guessing, so why not switch everything around or make something new? I don't think supporting a dying and seemingly stagnant site is a good idea if we don't change it 180. These are just personal qualms I have that I see everytime I get on this website, but I do enjoy RPing with people I've grown accustomed too for so many years.

I can't remember the last time you posted in a thread that wasn't closed. Try that before calling the method or board dead? It's only slow if you don't contribute, after all.

Simple question.

Can someone make a moderator request for a character of theirs which isn't on that account?

For example, could I make request for Kabelja or Yumi from this account?

No. The request needs to be made from the account the character is tied to. If you haven't done so already, link your accounts together in the ProBoards dashboard by clicking on the people or gear icon on the lower menu (which for me is at the lower-right-hand side of my browser window) for easier transitions between accounts.
