User blog:GokūBlack10/Announcing a new Arc!

As you are all aware, User:Silver-Haired Seireitou and I are currently working on the Jinki Fragments arc for our joint story Bleach: Second Act. Today, however, just as I did for my personal Turn Back the Pendulum arc, I will be beginning a personal arc, called the Invasion of Hell arc. Its going to be a pretty long arc. It will, however, contain spoilers that hint at the ending of the Jinki Fragments arc, so bear with me there. I've had this story in my head for awhile, and think it is time to begin working on it.

One major thing that this arc is going to change as far as my personal stories go, is a shift in main characters. Raian Getsueikirite is still going to be a MAJOR role in this arc, but he takes sort of a back seat to his son Hake Getsueikirite, and a new main character I'll be introducing, named Tōshi Kyōkaku. His article will be up today sometime.

The arc was inspired by two things; the Bleach movie, Hell Verse, and a lot of the events that have been happening to me over the course of the past week or two. It may not have seemed like it to those of you who don't talk to me often, but these past two weeks have been unbelievably eventful, and not always in the best of ways, mind you. Tōshi, the new main character, is based heavily upon a friend of mine, and throughout this arc, you'll get to see him develop and come to find peace with his tragic past.

Hake's role in the story starts to become more important in this arc, and Raian himself begins to take on a role more akin to that of Isshin and Urahara to Hake and Tōshi.

Major settings of this arc are, obviously, Hell and the Human World. Soul Society will make short appearances here and there, but will not be a primary setting for the arc, and Hueco Mundo will not appear at all. I feel that the two worlds (Hell and the World of the Living) that I'm using as main settings often get neglected in fanfics on this site in favor of Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, or some fan-made place that has no canonical ties, so I'm trying to give these locations their fair share of action in this arc.

Feel free to leave thoughts, questions, and comments below! Thanks for reading.
