It has come to my attention that there has been a recent surge of Fullbringers hitting the activity thread.
It has also come to my attention that they're still floating around, wandering as they search for a purpose in this world of the FC.
That said, I think it is time to start an Xstence RP.
Brace yourselves, a storm is coming.
Dramatics aside, for the Fullbringers, I mentioned this to several people on chat, but I had the idea where the reason why all of them are gathering in one place is not just because Xstence is there in Ikeda, Osaka (since Xstence could have been anywhere technically), but rather that somehow the Coven is "pulling" on the geographical soul of the location itself, or perhaps pulling the souls of the Fullbringers to it (they'd probably susceptible to that sort of thing). Something like this probably would have been set up shortly after the Kidou Corps defection from the Soul Society or in the recent past (say 1 year ago or something, when everyone started moving to Osaka). From a meta-meta-sense, this would explain why everyone who is a Fullbringer in the world happens to be in that part of Japan at the start of the RP without just a very convenient string of coincidences occurring. From a meta-sense the reasoning could be that the Coven is intending to use the Fullbringers as part of their "spiritually-empowered-human-collection," if we're still going that route.
Anyway, in-story: As opposed to starting of the FC with Xstence having already-been formed in the past, I wanted to have the group actively forming at the start of the FC. This means that they're still searching out members, building their hideout, collaborating, training, and coming together to define a purpose as a collective. That way it's not just "Tetsuo+old members" thing, but a group that really exists for and by all the Fullbringers. There'd be more equality, solidarity, etc. that way.
After Xstence has sort of grouped together (which would probably be the first RP), maybe we can have the Coven approach Xstence and be like, "we actually set this up this giant soul magnet to draw you here cause we want you to join our cause" (obviously a lie). Xstence would refuse at first, but then maybe an attack by Hollows occurs or something and the Coven saves their sorry, under-powered asses. Realizing they really have no choice in the matter, Xstence says they will join the Coven. But then one of the members discovers what the Coven's real intentions for the Fullbringers are (Soul King sacrifices or whatever), and shit goes down from there.
This is very similar to the Fullbringer arc in FC.1, but the difference is that it'd be more plot-relevant and more collaborative between members. That said, what do you guys think of the idea? (I need ideas, tell me your ideas, all of them).
The American Chapter There are some Fullbringers stuck over on the Western (or is it Eastern?) side of the planet. For those guys, I was thinking we could somehow link one of the members from Xstence Japan to one of the characters from USA. Maybe someone from Xstence studied in America, or vice-versa, and met each other in the past. Then when Xstence begins to form again in the FC, the member in Japan could contact his/her old buddy from the USA, who starts an "American chapter" over there. Later in the RP they could come over to Osaka for joint training or something, or to help Xstence fight the Coven, but that way you don't have to "force" the American characters to be in Japan.
Also, if you all wouldn't mind, could you list the Fullbringers you are intending to be in Xstence?
I have:
The member numbers will be assigned according to "order joined," but we can decide who joined when later.
