only chaos. A single world of primordial energy, form which formed Human and Hollow. There was no death, no cycle of reincarnation and no boundaries to this world. Mankind suffered, the Hollows endlessly growing in number and without a means to protect themselves. A hero appeared, a King to lead humanity to a brighter age. The Soul King formed from this chaos, one of a few unique beings, and he slew the Hollows. In time, as his holy crusade began to threaten the very fabric of the world, the King was betrayed. The ancient ancestors of Humanity trapped him and sealed him away, tearing apart his body in fear of his power and using him as a linchpin to separate the one world into three. This is how the worlds were made. A mortal world where the souls of the living existed. An afterlife, eventually known as Soul Society, where weary souls could rest and await reincarnation. An empty world, Hueco Mundo, where the Hollows would be drawn to prevent their endless multiplication. The souls of Humanity were split between these worlds and, as they are wont to do, they formed their own factions. Some were born from the actions of these ancient traitors to the King, such as the Shinigami. The Shinigami are guardians of the cycle and souls, who watch over the afterlife and those who die. Some are humans who seek power or protection of their people, the Fullbringers or Quincy. Even the Hollows in time formed their own kingdoms, eternal nations in the empty sands. Eons passed. Life and death continued, through times of peace and war. The Shinigami both protected mankind and made war on them, building a stable cycle on a mountain of genocide. For every moment of light and happiness, there exists an endless list of dark crimes that make those precious times possible. Yet this long, long history is all but unknown to a young human boy named Ichigo Kurosaki. A Japanese high-school student. He doesn’t know the story of the Soul King. He doesn’t know of the traitor Sosuke Aizen and his plans to upend Soul Society. He knows nothing of Hollow Kings or Quincy Emperors, of Fullbringer cults and artificial soul legions. He doesn’t even know his own heritage, the ways he has been linked into this world’s story since before his birth, or of the watchful monk who gazes on his life from far above. All Ichigo Kurosaki knows is that he’s gonna protect a mountain-load of people. Those he cares about and those he doesn’t know. And though he doesn’t know this yet, as a hundred year old Shinigami woman named Rukia Kuchiki walks through his bedroom wall tonight, he’s going to be the one to change these worlds. This is where you come in. With 1000 Choice Points to spend, on this night and in these worlds, your story begins again. Time and Location You will by default spend ten years in this world. You may optionally extend that as far as you like, as some old warriors have lived for millions of years in these worlds already. You may choose any one of the below locations to begin in, starting within any public space available in your choice. Some may be quite unsafe for certain or nearly every race, so be careful in your choice. Karakura Town Karakura Town, hometown of Ichigo Kurosaki and his human friends. Karakura is a small city with an average population size located in Western Tokyo. Nothing appears out of the ordinary, nothing of importance happens here for the most part. It just so happens to be the hometown of our protagonist and the “Jureichi” however, so it’s far more important than it seems. The Jureichi is the designated point within the human world that has the highest concentration of spiritual beings; such as spiritually aware humans, souls, or spiritual races like Hollows or Shinigami. Your arrival just adds to this total. Soul Society, Rukongai While there might be a hell, there isn’t truly a heaven. The closest approximation is known as Soul Society, the comparatively peaceful afterlife where normal souls are sent to live until they’re cycled back into the human world. Rukongai is the name of the 320 districts outside Seireitei where most souls live. Rather than being a reflection of the real world or some idealistic paradise, Rukongai resembles the Japan of centuries past and behaves like it as well. While the districts closest to Seireitei are orderly and calm, things become more violent and lawless the farther out you go. Still, it’s better than the alternative afterlives. Soul Society, Seireitei Seireitei is the main
