AS OF 3/28/15, ALL CHARACTERS WILL BE ASSIGNED TO THE ACADEMY. THAT GOES FOR OLD AND NEW MEMBERS ALIKE.
some of the information on the site as of this moment is out of date and will be updated as soon as possible. In the best interests of creating a community, all characters that sign up for the RP will begin in the Academy. Yes, this means members of the old site as well.
Essentially, your app is now simplified for the course of the next few weeks as we get the RP started. As a academy student no one will know any skills, have a zanpaktou, know any kidou or techniques, etc. so keep it basic and fill out your character application with these things in mind. I will clarify in both RP discussion and the application area within the next few days. Monday will be the soft deadline to start RPing, if your character is up you can begin immediately. I should have everything taken care of by that point.
If you are bringing in an old character from TAL, bear in mind this counts for you. Treat this as a soft reboot and as if this was a brand new rp. Your characters will not know anyone at the academy including older acquaintances. This is for story purposes and you will get your level corrected in due time. You may post a completed app with zanpaktous and shikai/bankai in the relevant areas, but for the moment you are depowered.
If you have any questions, please pm me.
