Spirit Points

**Spirits Points** are units that can be exchanged for various things on the *Bleach Role-Playing*. These points are used to act as currency in order to purchase promotions, Bankai, and other things found within the Bleach universe.

This system was adopted from the One Piece Role-Playing wikia's system with changes to fit Bleach's head canon.

## Quick Notes

1. As a growing system, certain things may change over time.
2. To collect points, always apply in the Forum in one way or another.
3. Similarly, to spend points, always use the Forum to voice it.
4. Points are not exchanged between users. Exceptions are rare.
5. Spent points can not be given back normally. Exceptions are rare.
6. Only Admins can confirm point collection and spending.
7. Only those, be them abilities and such, proved to have been settled before the system are grandfathered.
8. Buying an ability or so does not mean you can assign it as many times as you want, each time, points must be spent.
9. If you spend points on a restricted position or ability, you can not give it to another user.
10. Kidō, items, etc, from canon that fall under categories that require points means you need to spend points to claim them.

## Refunds

Aside from very special occasions as said, Spirit Points are allowed to be refunded to a user once per month.

However, there are important criteria to be met for that to happen:

* Points refunded must be equal to or surpass 5.
* The item refunded must not have been used in any shape or form.

### Permadeath Clause

The "Permadeath Clause" is a rule created to incentivize and encourage the permanent incarceration, imprisonment or death of characters users have made heavy point investments into.

According to the Permadeath Clause. Any character who has had over 7 spirit points spent into them (abilities, status purchases) is capable of refunding 60% of those points upon the permanent removal of that character from roleplays. This means that the character is no longer usable in any capacity, whether they are imprisoned, killed or otherwise.

## Reward Shop

### Special

*Before one should even consider purchasing one of the special items you must meet another one of the requirements. A user must have \*AT LEAST\* 300,000 Bytes contributed to Role-Plays on the wikia.*

* Sanketsu of the Soul King is currently claimed by User:EmperorSigma.

## Required Checkpoints

For certain rewards, specifically those which are character specific, such as promotions, evolutions, etc., the character will need to fulfill various criteria that are specific to each role. This section will illustrate exactly which rewards have additional criteria aside from spirit points:

* **Captain Promotion**: To become a Captain, one must first purchase one of the previous Seated positions. Following this purchase, they must conduct their Bankai-acquisition RPs, successfully acquire Bankai, and then purchase the Captain position.
* **Squad Zero Promotion**: This promotion requires not only needing to be a Captain, but must also have have created a groundbreaking invention or made a contribution to the Soul Society that aids in every day life of the Shinigami.
* **Bankai 1**: The requirement to make an application to earn your character's Bankai is to have at least contributed with 50k Bytes to their development. With 10k of these being towards their character page while the other 40k being towards their RPs. **This also means that you can only apply for a Bankai with the character that has recieved this requirement and not to be used on another that hasn't.**
* **Bankai 2**: The points earned here needs to be from **Battle Oriented** Roleplays. Meaning, a roleplay that had your character engage or otherwise participate in a fight of some sorts during the RP. This makes sure that the Bankai is actually earned through battle as they are in the series rather than just some casual talks between characters. (To specify, the character just needs to battle at any point in the RP, not for the entire thing.). **AT LEAST** one RP in this category must be completed.
* **Kidō #50-#78 & Intermediate Techniques**: Once this level of Kidō has been purchased, not only are these level of spells accessible to the user, but intermediate Kidō casting techniques can be used. This includes being able to alter the shape and nature of Kidō to some degree, combine different Kidō together for varying effects, and utilizing Kidō through your Zanpakutō for greater results.
* **Kidō #79+ & Advanced Techniques**: To achieve this level, one must demonstrate adequate mastery over Kidō within RPs. Beyond simply using Kidō, they must show understanding, flexibility and innovation in its usage. This level grants not only spells #79 and above, it enables the character to possess very high-level spellcasting techniques. Spells can be layered on top of one another and cast through other spells, spells can be invented, and other advanced techniques.
* **Vollstandig**: Vollstandig can only be purchased after purchasing Stanzen, Blut and Ransōtengai, as these qualities demonstrate a Quincy who has mastered all the fundamentals. Acquiring Vollstandig also means your Quincy is certified to be at the level of a Sternritter.

### Powerscaling & Ranks

* If a character possesses a certain rank (4th Seat, 3rd Seat, etc), those ranks *ARE* reflective of their power level. The only major exception to this is if the character is actively aiming and working towards Captaincy, or they grow naturally in skill and power throughout multiple roleplays. On debut, however, a character's power level must reflect the rank they possess.

## Milestones

### Milestone Notes

1. These can be **stacked**, i.e: If you have 14,000 bytes on a character and 16,000 bytes on a different one, you can apply them together. Only couple two things if they require the **same amount** of Bytes: Role-plays an only be coupled with role-plays, canon articles with canon articles.

## Trivia

* This system was first invented and implemented by the Administration team over on One Piece Role-Play Wiki. Seeing its success and potential, the same system was transferred and changed to fit the Bleach Universe.
