I. People like having many characters, and thats acceptable. While you'll be allowed to have as many Original Characters as you can keep up with, we have to place a limit on canon characters. It wouldn't be fair to let a few people control every character in bleach. Each player is allowed only 2 canons.
II. In order to possess a captain-level or higher character, you must be able to have a 2 minimum paragraph on your important posts, such as event posts and posts for your characters subplot. This isn't expected every time, however. If someone hasn't given you enough to work with in a post and you can't make the limit, it's understandable.
III. While your zanpakuto is mostly up to you, there are a few guildlines we've made. Your zanpakuto may be single element or dual element, but it cannot be more than that, at least not without some severe repercussions and limits. Also, if you have a dual element zanpakuto, the elements cannot oppose each other, as the zanpakuto wouldn't function right (so if you do this, keep this in mind, staff will also dictate on it and mention this). Also, there are a few abilities that won't be allowed because of extreme god modding potential.
V.There are power limits on each character to insure that you don't start off the character God-like. You must work for the powers, you can't receive them instantly unless the tier rule takes effect as it supercedes this one.
VI. Your characters history can be of anything. I don't care what site it's from or what part of real history it's from ( In regards to the site. just tell me which one it came from in a reference. Then I won't care cuz I won't get confused ). HOWEVER. I will not allow history's that would have had an impact on the ACTUAL history of either the real world OR bleach history. It cannot change what really happened. So you can't have a character that won the war against the confederacy or that was taught by Yoruichi ( as she never had students ) outside of THIS forums threads.
VII. Also, each person is allowed one Rogue charecter each. A rogue charecter is allowed to stay out of any organization. Other than that, each charecter MUST be in one of the organizations.
VIII. To continue, the maximum height for any character, at his or her base height is ten feet in height, and the maximum amount of weight a character can be is one ton, or 2,000 pounds.
