Alright, so now with the manga finally over (still weeping in the corner about that), we now are able to make a far more accurate timeline for our FC. And with that, we may want to revisit the original plan we had in regards to time length and how the current Captains in our Gotei 13 took up the spots. In the pursuit of that, there are two things we need to discuss.

The first being that the FC originally was predicated on the belief that we start 9 years after the end of the Quincy war. But the manga's epilogue takes place 10 years after the war. So that ends up being a contradiction, and if possible, I would like for us to try our best at keeping true to the canon timeline. So perhaps we can have the FC start only 5 years after the epilogue, a total of 15 years after the war. Anybody else have a different suggestion, please let me know below.

Now, the other issue is that the epilogue restocked the Gotei 13, filling all the empty Captain spots and whatnot. So now we need to address how our Gotei 13 came to be, which means some people are gonna have to die. Tragic. Tragic!

But before that, we should probably discuss who we still wanna keep alive. For instance, in our Gotei, Kyoraku and Byakuya are still alive, so that's a given. I have a rendition of Rangiku I'd like to keep FC-consistent. Ash has an Ichigo. And so, are there particular canon characters anybody else wants to keep alive for the FC timeline so that they can do something with them?

Once we get that out of the way, we need to discuss how the others either lost their positions or died. And that will be a tall order, since we're talking a huge genocide. I do have a couple thoughts myself as to how we can go about that, but I'd like first to hear everybody else out on the matter, so please state below if you have any ideas how to approach this.
