Bleach: Altered States.

[dragonrazor]

i'd assume something similar to what Rukia did when her powers were transferred into Ichigo....

 

[Bluemage]

i found the translation of one of them, but the other two remain a mystery. combined, they become Zantetsuken, translated by Final Fantasy 7 as Steel Bladed Sword (though Iron-cutting Sword is alledgely closer). but since i know Zan is supposed to be air or wind, IE, Kuuhazan = Slash of Air or Airslash (from Star Ocean), that doesn't seem right

Well, Ken translates to blade leaving us with Zantetsu
Since tetsu translates to iron (and actually several other words as well) that takes care of that, leaving us with Zan.

*shrug* I don't know.

 

[dragonrazor]

well, according to bleach, Zan is Cutting. i suppose that would make sense from the point of view of the wind, which is used to cut things in all games i've seen the word used in (phantasy star 2, 3, and 4, Star Ocean 1 and 2, Tales of Phantasia....) But i'm starting to wonder if it's actually misromanized in FF7. originally, Odin's ability was Atom Edge, and when he became Raiden, True Edge

I'm going to try and keep myself from becoming important in plot at the moment, because I can't guarantee that I will have any access to the internet this coming weekend, and would hate to be the reason that everyone had to stop playing.

 

[dragonrazor]

k....it's not like we're going to meet shinigami that will interfere just yet. Maybe there will be some who show up afterwards to examine the area (i may take up one for that purpose)

 

[Bluemage]

I made my first post where my character watched through binoculars from a roof, but really that was all I did in the entire post.

 

[dragonrazor]

hey, as long as you don't get so lost that you drop out. had a few people do that before in rps

 

[Bluemage]

pfft. I am never so lost that I drop out. When I get lost I take it in stride because that means I can play my role far more convincingly since I don't know what is going on and neither would my character.

 

[dragonrazor]

lol....just wait till you guys see the Zanpakutou's appearance. *does a happy dance, then directs the group of hollows* that's right, you're afraid. this creature is unlike anything you could possibly imagine, and its mere existence terrifies you.

I now hope that it is something silly...like a butterknife or something that delivers killing blows.

 

[dragonrazor]

lol @ butterknife. no, i've used this weapon in some of my rps before, most notably the story of my username (as the sword is the one once wielded by Raven Dragonrazor, a character in my writings) more than that, you'll just have to wait and see. though i'm sure anyone who reads that last post in here will be able to figure out what kind of creature i'm talking about.

 

[dragonrazor]

i'll begin working on a glossary soon...that might help with getting members

Bankai: Final Form of a Zanpakutou

Gigai - An artificial body which physical ability is equal to a normal human, and it is to be used in emergency situations. A weakened Shinigami enters in to wait for his powers to recover.

Hollow - All hollows are formerly human's souls or Plusses. There are many reasons why the Plusses become Hollows - they're not brought to the Soul Society by a Shinigami, escaped from Soul Society, not protected by other Hollows, or when they wanted to fill their empty heart and seek out their loved ones in their past life. Those who has become hollows eat souls to ease their pain and suffering, and cannot revert back to a normal soul.

Kenseikan - Hair-piece accessory to prove that one is from a noble family.

Kidou - Also known as 'Demon Arts' is split into two - Hadou (attacking spells) and Bakudou (binding spells).

Konsoh - Shinigami must perform the Konsoh/Soul burial in order to send the souls to Soul Society. But usually Souls that have strong grudges or sadness are left alone because they are difficult to perform the Konsoh on. The zanpakutou will return to its normal form when its owner is unconscious.

Menos Grande (Arankal) - Gillian - Gigantic hollow that is born from hundreds of hollows that pile and mix

- Ajuukaru - Much smarter and stronger than a gillian, like a vice-captain compaired to a seated officer. Not many of them exist or so it is thought!.

- Vastoorode - Looks like a shinigami and is much stronger than your average captain. Not many are known to exist the few that do exist are only seen in Hueco Mundo. It is said that 10 of them would bring destruction to the Soul Society.

Plus - Plusses are the soul that has been seperated from the original body and would not harm any other creatures. However, they have the potential to become a Hollow because of several reasons, whether they are willing or not.

Reisyukaku - Spirit core that resembles like a crystal ball. By providing spiritual energy to the core, the user can create a strong cannonball.

Reiraku - Spiritual threads. Something that compresses and visualizes the spiritual auras in the atmosphere. Usually, only the upper-level Shinigami can perform it.

Rukongai - Spirits in Soul-Society live here, That are not shinigami's. They are sent to random locations(north, south, east or west quadrant).

Ryoka - Souls that enter Soul-Society improperly, without the guidance of Shinigamis.

Shi-Kai - Another form of zanpuktou most shinigami's can preform this all that is needed to be able to preform this is the shinigami just needs to know there zanpuktou name.

Shinigami - One must graduate from the academy to a become a Shigami, and then they will be assigned to a certain area for them to perform their duties; one is to guide Pluses to Soul Society by using Konsoh, while the second is to exterminate Hollows and wash away their sins. A Shinigami also has to treat all souls equally.

Zanpakutou - The Shinigami gains their Zanpakutou when they graduate from the academy (central institute of spiritual art). Each Shinigami has their own unique zanpakutou, and it reflects from the owner's personality and power. The Zanpakutou has two levels of release - Shi-kai (Initial Release) and Ban-kai (Ban release) which will increase the user's attack power. But in order to do so, they must learn the Zanpakutou's name and its cooperation.




so far, these are the only ones that seem important, but i'll keep looking

this glossary caN BE USED AS A GENERAL GUIDE, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD ALL USE THE NAMES FOR THINGS AS WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THEM. i saw soul reaper, u say shigami. we both know what it means

I think I made that argument once before actually, that as long as everyone knows what we are talking about, it really doesn't matter which words we use.

 

[dragonrazor]

yeah...given the tasks they perform, i'd say both names are equivalent. and that was taken from that site i posted as a reference a few pages back

 

[dragonrazor]

okay, i should have waited a bit longer to give those who haven't posted yet to catch up, but i felt the time was right to introduce a new character (who shall be nameless for now) and wake up our powerhouse

 

[dragonrazor]

for those who don't remember him...Urahara Kisuke is the guy in the green and white striped hat. not to be confused with Ishida Uryuu, the Quincy bowmaster played by the guy with the odd username *glares*

[dragonrazor]

*breathes* sorry, it's just that sort of question should be asked in here, not in the IC thread. also....maybe we should post in here saying we're posting, so that others don't start doing so while we do so v.v

 

[let3us2be1free0]

not a bad idea

sorry
