Zanpakutou Training Rules

[Jachimaru]

Below are the requirements needed in order to gain Shikai and Bankai, should your character not already have them.

Shikai Training

• Purchase the right to engage in Shikai Training with 100 Gold
  
• Whenever you decide to engage in the training, please post in this topic with a link to your character profile to gain staff approval before creating a thread.
  
• In order to attain Shikai, you must create a thread describing your zanpakutou spirit speaking to you, and you training with your shikai. At the very least, this thread/post should contain at least three paragraphs.
  
• As always, we encourage good RPing, so if the thread is unsatisfactory, we may deny you the upgrade and ask you to attempt again later.
  

Bankai Training

• In order to gain the right to participate in Bankai Training, we require a fine of no more or less than 500 Gold.
  
• Post in this topic with a link to your character profile if you wish to engage in the training. Staff will then decide if your character is reasonably eligible.
  
• Once allowed to train, the time limit will begin. The posts in the training thread must stay on topic with bankai training.
  
• 30 posts or 3000 words within two weeks in order to master bankai.
  
• Once the time limit is reached, or you finish early, a staff member will look over your thread and give you a pass or fail rating. If you fail, you can try again from the beginning after waiting two weeks.
  
  
• There are two methods of doing Bankai Training, the latter of which is posted next.
  
  
• The Ichigo Method Differences
  
  • Your time limit is reduced to one week and you must reach 15 posts or 1500 words.
    
  • If you fail, you will end up in the fourth barracks and horribly injured. You must wait a month to retry the Bankai test.
    
  • This method is more dangerous and life-threatening. You will have near-death experiences. We will be paying very close attention to the content of the training thread/s you make.
    
  • Upon agreeing to use the Ichigo Method, you are agreeing to allow your character to die, should the situation arise in RP.
