Rules

Here a few rules you should know before you get involved:

## General

5 to 7 lines minimum, if you want to push it to a 10 line that is fine, but do not want to bog down the client with a wall of text. While doing a Spar or a Battle the line minimum goes up to at least 10 to 12 lines, we understand that while sparring the more detail you have the better. Active at least 3 days a week, **UNLESS** you give the Head Captains a heads up that you will be away more than that. OOC must be in brackets.

## **Soul Society Rules:**

The ultimate law is to maintain balance.
It is against the law for a Shinigami to give their spiritual power to Humans. It is against the law for a Shinigami to use forbidden Kidou. It is against the law for any citizen of Soul Society to create weapons of a dangerous nature not sanctioned by the feudal government. To do so is treason. It is against the law to attack a captain. To do so is treason. It is against the law to commit terrorist action(s) or attempt to overthrow the balance of Soul Society. To do so is treason. It is against the law to commit murder. It is against the law to kill a Human that a Shinigami has not been ordered to kill. It is forbidden for a Shinigami to acquire or attempt to gain Hollow-like powers. It is a crime for a Shinigami to remain in the Human World longer than a certain time limit. It is against the law for the Gotei 13 to meddle in the affairs of the noble families unless the family in question breaks one of the laws of Soul Society beyond a shadow of a doubt. It is by ancient law that two Shinigami cannot hold the same Zanpakutou. They must fight for the honor of bearing the spirit, with the spirit going to the winner, and the loser being executed. It is forbidden for a Shinigami to intervene in anything that is related to Hell. All Modified Souls must be scrapped.

## **Captains:**

All the Squads must answer to each other examples: 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, 8 to 9, 9 to 10, 10 to 11, 11 to 12, 12 to 13, and 13 to 1. Everyone is equal, unless the 3 original Squad captains [ 2, 6 and 9 ] void the ruling and rule in another direction. For this to occur, both Head Captains must agree or the original ruling is in play. No ruling if you dislike the person there must be a valid reason for the ruling and then Squad 2 will carry out the said ruling. In the case that a Captain cannot attend a meeting to vote on something, their Lieutenants may come in their absences but they cannot vote and the Captain that is missing their vote does not count. The Lieutenant may speak on behalf of the Captain, only if it is something that perhaps happened within their Squad but still has no voting power. **CAPTAINS** that are missing should be advised that once the ruling is in play they cannot come at a later time to ask for a re-vote, **UNLESS** they can get all three of the Head Captains to agree for re-vote. Duties of a Captain of course depends on the Squad that they are in but first and foremost the Captain of each of these Squads should be respectful of their officers and to other Captains and Lieutenants. They should not take matters into their own hands, unless it was some sort of emergency situation. Example: Suppose a Captain is out and about and stumbles across an enemy that could threaten the Soul Society and does not have time to report to the Captains Council... The Captain has the ability to make a judgment call on the spot for the best interest of the Soul Society. After said emergency they must report it to the Council so that other actions can be brought to light and judgment can be made. Each Squad is made up of 4 seated positions plus the 1 Lieutenant and the Captain making the Squad a total of 6 people.

## **Lieutenants:**

A lot of the day to day business within the squads falls upon the shoulders of these lucky individuals. They are ranked as Lieutenants because they were voted upon by the other 13 Squad Captains but it really falls to their Squad's Captain to make the final decision in regards to their promotion. The Lieutenants are known as the second most powerful within the Squad and have trained just as hard as their Captain even at times training with them to get a sense of team work. In the event that their Captains are unavailable to attend certain meetings they may fill in their place and take notes so they can report back, but under no circumstance may they vote on behalf of their Captain. They will the ones that will report the meeting back to their Captains, letting them know the outcome and if they wish to have a re vote. Also when it comes to the Captain meetings the Lieutenants may speak on the behalf of their Captains but only when it comes to their Squad's business. If there comes a time, which there will be, it is to be taken upon by the Lieutenant to defuse any drama that may come up with in the Squad should the Captain be away. The only time it should be brought up to the Captain is if there has been no peaceful outcome. Also it is up to the Captains of each Squad to decide the specific, perhaps, personal duties of their Lieutenants, and those could be subject to change at the whim of the Captain.

For the Lieutenant to get their position they first much spar against the Captain in which they wish to join. Performing their Shikai release and getting at least one hit against them before it is voted upon by the rest of the Captains if they can take their place as that Squad's Lieutenant.
