Princepis (天帝 (プリンセプ), purinsepu; Latin for "Emperors", Japanese for "Heavenly Kings") are souls who were highly spiritually aware and whom did not went through the process of soul burial, thus causing their chain of fate to corrode. However, instead of forming a hollow hole and becoming a Hollow, they were able to purify and restore their corroding chain through use of reiatsu. The chain is then absorbed into the body, with a mark appearing on the place where the hollow hole would be, and if the human possess sufficient stamina and reiatsu, they may involve into an entirely new being known as Princepis. Like all spirits, they cannot be detected by humans. Princepis posses, just like Shinigami, supernatural swords called zanpakutō which are a manifestation of the user's power. Unlike Shinigami, Princepis cannot perform soul burial on Pluses, reason unknown.

Overview
Princepis are souls that have gained supernatural powers. As such, their bodies are composed of reishi (spirit particles) instead of atoms. This means that just like most other types of spirits, they can only be seen by other spiritually aware entities, which excludes most humans. Nevertheless, they are quite capable of influencing their environment. When a human with an extraordinary amount of spiritual power dies, they may surpass the process of corroding, and will then become a Princepis. In layman's terms, they are actually "purified" hollows. The Princepis are so few in numbers that they don't really posses a hierarchical structure, living like nomads across the different worlds. They do posses a ruler, whom is always female, and is called Aurora.

Princepis are the personification of immortality and a state of divinity. They don't really have a job or task in this world, and are generally a peaceful people. Either way, due their immense spiritual power Princepis possesses supernatural abilities such as:
 * Immortality: Under normal circumstances, Princepis live forever. This means they will never die of old age, but can die from aggregated injuries.
 * Enhanced Endurance: While they can be injured and die like regular humans, it takes considerably greater injuries for the latter to occur than it would in regular humans and Shinigami. Principes also seem to be immune to any disease.
 * Great Reiryoku: Principes also naturally give off Spiritual Energy, which varies greatly in magnitude with the strength of a Shinigami. Additionally, unlike humans, they do not have to eat anything to sustain themselves. They also tend to posses greater levels of reiatsu than the average Shinigami, with the strongest Principes outclassing the Gotei 13 by far.
 * Aetas: (常; Latin for Time, Japanese for Endless Time); A technique used by princepis to travel at high speeds. By slowing down time around them, it allows for the movement at great intensities. This can also be use to negate gravity for s short period, enabling to walk on ceilings and walls.
 * Zanpakutō: The most prominent supernatural power possessed by a Principes is their Zanpakutō, a supernatural sword (which can be in the form of any kind of Japanese sword) generated from the Principes' soul. A Zanpakutō is a physical manifestation of this force concentrated into a blade.

Powers & Abilities
Principes posses several other powers, such as:


 * Nemo: (白悲鳴; Latin for Nobody, Japanese for White Scream); An energy attack used by high-level Princepis, it creates a disk, composed of concentrated spiritual energy, which is generally thrown at the opponent, but can also be used as a shield. The disk is extremely powerful, being able to outclass an Espada's Cero.
 * Quaero: (深い根; Latin for Search, Japanese for Deep Root); The ability of a Princepis to detect, sense and gauge the amount of Reiatsu in his or her vicinity. It functions similar to an alarm system with laser beams; if a reiatsu would disturb the reiatsu of the user, they are detected.
