Kenji summed up what I've been preaching to the NF for ages. A collaboration, a true collaboration requires trust, and the establishing of the basic plot. Objectives help to serve as checkpoints to move the story forward, but generally speaking, the rp fills in the details of whats happening.

I would also recommend that if you do intend to do battles with others, here are a few tips.

Establish a scene. Fight. Change the scene. Rinse and repeat. This helps to keep a battle flowing and interesting. Lets say you began fighting in the human world ,then that spilled over into the Dangai before finally ending in either Hueco Mundo or Soul Society. The changing scenes help to establish a progression of the battle. Plus it always makes shit more interesting. It doesnt have to be that drastic, but changing the scene serves other purposes too.

Include a bit of story in any rp you do. Always have a premise, even if its completely and utterly ridiculous. If for whatever reason your characters are fighting let there be a reason. Not that they just wandered into one another. Maybe a drunken night of debauchery and upon awakening, they wake up tangled in bedsheets. Thats as good a reason to fight as any other. Just have fun with it and as Kenji mentioned, "roll with the punches".
