User blog:ShonenChicoBoy/Fanon Canon: Start of Plot C

All right everyone, many of you may have noticed the proposition I made on Sei’s wall a while back, and while the concept I originally had in mind has changed drastically, the gist of it is that Fullbringers will now be involved in the FC, introducing the “human element” to the story and making up Plot C, which at this point will be called Fanon Canon: Harbringer (unless you have a better title suggestion, of course). You may have also noticed the recent influx of Fullbringer characters hitting the activity thread lately, many of these are prospective members of the organization Xstence.

So, what’s all of this about?

Premise
Xstence was formed with one goal in mind: the protection of fellow humans, from both themselves and Hollows. For this reason, members train diligently in order to master their powers, relying on each other for wisdom and guidance. They are autonomous and secretive, looking out for their own interests and shunning outsiders. Many members are prejudiced against Shinigami, as they blame their lack of involvement in the human world for many of the tragedies regarding Hollows that they themselves have born witness to. Their leader also seems to have a personal vendetta against the Quincy, for unrevealed reasons.

Currently, their active goal is to seek out Fullbringers who have received soul fragments. Although these fragments were dispersed nine years ago, the powers associated with them are just starting to emerge. It is important that the Fullbringers learn to use this newfound power effectively, although why they are intent on gathering them and training them in the first place remains unknown, but it is assumed that the leader of Xstence (Tetsuo Momohara) has darker motives behind these ambitions. Whether or not Xstence is aware of the true nature of the soul fragments and their connection to Yhwach remains to be seen. More importantly, this goal brings them into direct conflict with the antagonist, who seeks to either drive the Fullbringers out of Osaka or destroy Xstence altogether. Whether or not she too is interested in the soul fragments has yet to be revealed. Whatever the case may be, it will be up to the members of Xstence to stop her... and survive.

Connection to Main FC
Aside from the Soul Fragments, interosculation between Harbringer and the main plot of Bleach: Extinction will be determined as the RP progresses. Definite ties will most likely be left unestablished until the end of the RP. As Njalm will be controlling the main antagonist for Harbringer, I will leave the majority of the integration up to him for now, so this could go in many different directions. However, if you have any ideas of your own on how to connect this two plots, please let me know.

Plot So Far
Here’s the plot so far:
 * 1. The first post everyone will do is an introduction of your character(s). They should be going about their daily lives, doing something interesting and so-forth, when they notice a strange rift in the skies above, (to the south, above the bay) and a strange, shock wave of Reiatsu hitting them. Of course, you don’t have to follow this exactly, but try to keep you post to something that could fit with this framework.


 * 2. Once everyone has posted, Tetsuo will call all the Fullbringers to Xstence headquarters. Why? Since the appearance of the “rift”, there have been two murders in Ikeda. Mysterious occurrences, to be sure, and undoubtedly connected to the inexplicable spiritual phenomena that occurred a few days prior. Tetsuo himself has been searching for whatever came from the rift, but with no luck. He believes it to be a powerful Hollow with the ability to escape any form of spiritual or physical detection. To prevent any more murders from occurring, he assigns Xstence to search the town of Ikeda, and surrounding locations in Osaka in order to pin down the monster.


 * 3. They meet with little success in their search, but it is most likely at this point that, if you have a character who is not yet a member of Xstence, they will come in contact with the Xstence members and join the organization. It depends on what you want to happen during this stage.


 * 4. Once we’ve gotten investigations and new member discoveries out of the way, a new character will appear. He shows up at Xstence headquarters (tentatively) and seems to be lost, with no recollection of where he came from, who is parents are, or what his name even is besides “Akito.” Instead of turning the child in to the government, Xstence decides to shelter him as he possesses Fullbringer abilities.


 * 5. Once this is out of the way, and everyone reacts to this “new member,” we will move on to the next stage, which will be revealed later on.

How To Get Involved
Currently, you can apply for any position in Xstence asides from No. 000-002. Those three slots are reserved for characters with direct involvement in the founding of Xstence.

The application thread can be found here. If you wish to involve a character besides an Xstence member in the RP, please apply on the same forum but designate that the character will not be an Xstence member with "Name" (Non-Xstence) as the thread title and adjust the application guideline according to your needs. Why a non-Xstence member? Well, if you want to control a minor antagonist, for instance, a rogue Fullbringer maybe, or perhaps a Quincy that will interact with the organization. It's up to you. The one thing I will ask if you decide to use a non-Xstence character is how you will use them in the plot. It needs to be cohesive, but I don't want to stifle creativity here. Also, be aware that if you choose to make a Fullbringer that receives a Soul Fragment, they may have that taken away from them by the end, by none other than Kraven Jäger, (although at this point this is not a definite plot-point). Of course, Xstence won't be going down without a fight.

I am giving everyone a week to work on characters and get applications in. The tentative start date to the RP proper is Saturday, January 17 (USA). I realize that this may pressure everyone too much, and will probably extend that date. But that depends on what happens between now and then. I don't want this thing to lose momentum. The sooner we start the more interest there will be.

If you have any further questions, or if I have missed some major detail here, do not hesitate to bring it up. We are in need of more participants, so I hope this catches your interest. I am guessing this will be a suspense oriented RP, maybe even a bit of a "brain teaser", but there will definitely be some action. Danger is eminent and stakes are high, there will be consequences if they fail to stop their enemy within a certain amount of time. Aside from that, I hope you are all as excited about this as I am. It will take a lot of work, but it will be well worth it.

''Note: The misspell of Harbinger (Harbringer) was intentional. Although I may change it, as I said earlier. Also, a special thanks to Njalm, Blank and Zf6hellion for helping me with the plot. Much appreciated guys.''
