Applying with an original character on Severed Realities is the preferred method of playing on the game. Creating an original character means that you, the player, gets the chance to define every aspect of the character instead of following a model already set down by someone else. You are free to determine anything about the character that you like, within reason of course.
When creating an original character, naming that character is an important first step. Without a good name, the character likely won't be anybody memorable. Remember that since the series of Bleach is a Japanese series, characters should match the setting. The only exception to this, of course, are Hollow/Arrancar/Espada.
All original Shinigami characters will have a choice of how to start upon approval. They can either:
All original Human characters also have a choice of how to start upon approval. They may either begin their life as a high school student in Kurakura High, a teacher or other faculty member at Kurakura High, or an arrangement of a profession can be reached with administration. The choice will be yours.
All original Hollow characters will start at the lowest rung, an ordinary Hollow that has yet to devour its first soul. At this time, we will not accept original Arrancar or Espada level characters. However, if you feel that you would be exceptional at it, please contact an administrator and something may be worked out.
At this time, we will not be accepting ANY applications for original Vaizard characters. These characters are categorized as over-powered, even by Shinigami and/or Espada standards. They will not be accepted.
