Alright, so I have been thinking over this the past few days, and I have had my misgivings about this concept, specifically the part about soul suicide. It seems hashed to me, and doesn't really fit with what we've seen so far in canon. Hollow reiryoku works to poison a Quincy, but not the other way around. As far as we know, a Quincy King's soul fragment would not poison a Fullbringer, just because they so happened to derive their powers from Hollow reiryoku. To be perfectly honest, I was trying to get around the new idea of the fragments being dispersed to Quincy only. That's not according to the original plan. From the FC blogs and the fragment page you've mentioned that ANY human is capable of recieving a soul fragment, not just Quincy. I feel like I am trying to convince you on your own concept here. Why make the fragments "Quincy only?" after the Blood War and Yhwach, realistically I doubt there would be many Quincy around anyway. 50 fragments is plenty to go around. Sticking to just Quincy seems like a bad repeat of canon to me, why do we have to go through all the same stuff that is happening in the manga right now?

Anyway, I was talking to Z about the soul-suicide concept, and he had a completely different take on it which I think makes more sense:


 * "Hollow Reiryoku is poisonous to a Quincy, this is true, but Kisuke's whole method of stabilizing soul-suicide was to use opposites to knock them into submission. The fact that Fullbringers, having a Human Reiryoku element would probably prevent them from asploding, and might be grounds for a better melding of powers for them which could make them a credible threat to Kraven."

(And honestly, Kraven probably needs a lot more threats, heh.) Following this principle, according to canon Shinigami are opposites of Quincy and Hollow are opposites of Humans. (Shinigami cleanse souls, Quincy destroy them, humans have hearts, Hollows don't, at a conceptual level, anyway). So... Yhwach's soul fragments can latch on to other humans while still remaining "Quincy" in nature. Fullbringers would simply use the human element of their Reiryoku to meld with that power and access it.They can use Fullbring to pull on the soul of the fragment, and perhaps even the Hollow aspect to individualize it. This would grant them much more impressive powers, I would say, bolstering their current ones, granting them new ones, etc. And if that is the case then, yes, they would mostly likely throw a serious monkeywrench into Kraven's plans of world domination and so forth, mwah hah hah!

There are several members on here who have expressed an interest in creating/adapting Fullbringers for the FC. If the aspect of Yhwach's soul fragment is added it would tie these elements more closely, even directly to the main plot. This could possibly lead to a very interesting turn of events. If soul fragments are "Quincy only" I feel that severely limits some of the options we have for the FC. But this is our creation, why limit ourselves in the first place?
