I can't stress this enough to anyone who wants to join this RPG, PLEASE read this forum, the stickies without any doubt, but all the rest of the information never hurt anyone. There's enough different from the canon series that even if you've read the Manga (Watched the Anime) Forwards, Backwards, and Upside-down that it'll be worthwhile to peek in here regularly.
Once you're ready to enter the world of Advent Soul, drop in a completed application form here. When accepted, you will be added to the appropriate database.
Here. We made this place especially for all of the people that have so many flames directed at the rest of the world. Just come in here and start ranting and raving to your heart's content.
And don't worry, the walls can take a beating too.
Sites affiliated with Advent Soul will be listed here, generally other RPGs that the administration runs/is in, but with a good sales pitch here, YOUR site may soon join the list!
Something that we've needed for a while, this place is a location for ALL Advent Soul related fanfiction to show up in, a free licence to do pretty much anything you like in it, provided you list an appropriate licence in here, whether it is considered "Canon" or not (In which case, all characters used MUST have the permission of their player), the rating from G to even NC-17, and finally, a half decent plot.
Can YOU become the Offical AS Fanfiction Chronicler? (Name to change on a whim)
This is a place for all B|AS "official" sidestories to go that don't belong in the Book of Ages, and makes a very good spot to create stories that happened in the past while still maintaining the feel of the more recent threads at a laid-back pace. (This section is open on a provisional basis, talk to an Admin for details if you wish to use it!)
This is where people can post fan art and pictures of Characters or show off their CG, or Drawing skills and shame the rest of us at their talent. Either way this is where people can post their own Pin up drawings.
This is where you, the users, can gather to discuss ideas for new plots and sidearcs. Who knows, the admins may be watching and might like what they see....
A well-informed listing of the majority of important Humans and newly emerging Advent Humans. Contains vital information on these unknowns such as their powers as well as their personal information.
A compilation of all the Spirits in Soul Society as well as those that have yet to be sent to the other side. Contains both their pasts before dying as well as after dying. If you ever need to find a certain spirit, this is the place.
The "Wanted List" in a way. This listing has all known Hollows, both alive and deceased. The only unknowns are those powerful enough to not let the Soul Society radars detect them. Official Soul Society Advice: Stay clear of them.
An up-to-date listing of all surviving Quincy and all new-age Quincy. The Soul Society Directory also contains their powers, the extent of their powers, as well as their histories.
A listing of individuals of who--despite a significant level of influence--are generally considered non-combattants
In other words, the NPC Directory, all Admin Made and Approved Player NPCs of some importance will be listed here.
Any individuals--Be they of the Living, or the Dead--Who vanish unexpectedly will be recorded here. (Basically, if you're inactive without an excuse for 90 days, you go here, and if you're still not back by four months, your profile's deleted.)
From the beginning of time, history has forever been present and all that good stuff. This place is basically the recordings of said history. All past battles, encounters, parties, and what not are recorded here for the viewing pleasure of those who really care.
The eastern most part of the city. This is the richest part of town, and also has the highest living rate. Think of it as the high-class residential district. Also, is the location of the "Open" Headquarters of the Guild in Yumekoto.
Under a massive restoration effort, Hokubu-Ku is the first examples of how the new-areas of knowledge are effecting the world. The buildings are being reinforced with Spirit-Deflecting Stone to make them resistant to such damage, and it has numerous alarms set up for new arrivals lacking the Sight. While it's still a major hub for the homeless of the city, there are also a number of shelters and volunteer clinics throughout the area. Of course, some places are still under restoration...
The technological hub of the city, and now a very popular place for it's various cafes and such, many of the newer technologies being developed find their way here before anywhere else in the world. Is also where Urahara's store is, which has been experiencing a very rapid boom in business.
Located within the Nan ku District, The 4th wall is a store run and owned by Leiko Ren. A store with a number of books, Comics, and even a few refreshments to calm every soul and heart that happens to walk in the doors. Beside from her books and comics, the store offers a variety of charms, even a fortune reading for a small fee. But for the ‘special’ people, Leiko has storage of items for them too.
The western most area of the city. This place contains all the living spaces for the citizens of the city. Its like a mini-town within the city. Shops and vending carts litter the sidewalks with smells and sights. Underneath this all though, there are rumored to be dozens of odd tunnels and spaces underneath...
Drop in on Urahara's Yumekoto-Branch Shop for all your Soul Society needs. He has everything that you could ever want, even if some of his items are slightly contraband. Besides, who wouldn't want to see an eccentric hermit that wears a beach hat, wooden sandals, and carries a cane-sword? Lately, has been experincing a slight boom in business, and the inventory has been steadily expanding... Though it hasn't become any less shady then it was at the start.
Located near the center of Yumekoto, this large, open park is a place for people from all over the city to gather for recreation. Its expanse is filled with playgrounds, natural scenery, sidewalks and walking trails, and plenty of benches to rest on.
The residential areas for just plain Spirits. It is where most of the souls in Soul Society tend to live. Also, it just happens to be the poorest and most run-down of all the places in the Soul Society.
In the 9th District of Rukongai there is a little tavern tucked away among the homes and vendors called the Wandering Soul. The sounds of friends enjoying a round and traditional Irish pub music from the inside offer a place for Shinigami and poor souls alike to be considered as equals in merriment.
This is the part of Soul Society that seperates the Shinigami from everybody else. Those that are Shinigami live in the Seireitei as opposed to the Rukongai. Those living in here tend to live better than outside of the enclosed walls of Seireitei.
The Shinigami Academy has been recently renamed, to honor the previous soutaichou, who died in battle defending Seireitei itself from invaders. Located within Seireitei, its doors are always open to Spirits that have the potential to become a fine Shinigami one day.
Located right outside the Sakuraski Manor, the Mission house is a simple building with a old Japanese style roof and a simple white walled building. With the family crest on a plate above the wooden sliding doors, the mission house is usually open to issue out small missions to any Shinigami that is willing to do so...
The prefabricated stronghold tossed together, and defended by a small detachment of Guildsmen and available Shinigami. At the moment, it consists of only a modest dormitory for long-term residents, a command building, a modest armory, and a sandbagged and barbed-wired wall around it, though expansion is always something nice to work on.
The region directly surrounding Rift's Edge, a grey, flat, dreary area consisting only of loose shrubbery, shattered Constructs from the first titanic battle held, and occasional small resident creatures. Surrounding the area at a distance of about six miles are numerous, murderously steep mountaintops, with only a handful of passes going beyond this place.
To the Northeast of the Desolate Valley lies the Mountainous Regions, consisting primarily of frequently shifting paths through a nearly endless number of peaks, passes, and plateaus that make mapping this area an exercise in futility. The only nonchanging part of is is the massive volcanic peak, nearly the size of Olympus Mons on Mars that dominates the landscape... Nicknamed "Mount Doom" by the wiseass who first scouted this place.
Located at the heart of Yumekoto City, underneath Nishi Ku, the Guild of the Advent's main headquarters was once a veritable fortress, virtually impenetrable to direct attack. It has since been abandoned for the most part, but the proximity of the Rift has enabled the encroachment of a number of strange creatures unlike any seen in the three worlds. ((Danger Level = 2 Stars))
Most of the rubble has been cleared away from the ruins of the Nanodream tower... And people generally wish that it didn't, as it now requires a garrison to keep what was down there, away from the public. Crafty and formidable fighters can go down to help thin things out for a bit of extra money. ((Danger Level = 3 Stars))
The halfway point between Hueco Mundo and other realms reachable from it, the Space Between Worlds doesn't have much in the way of features. It's dark, gray, and overall a very dreary place, usually uninhabited save the few Hollows that hide here either to recover from battle or to plot their next course of action. With the exception of Hollows, nobody can roleplay here without special permission...
A vast, desolate wasteland that comprises most of Hueco Mundo's expansive territory, the White Sands are where most Hollows live or surivive in their natural habitat. Hollows of all sizes live in this area, and the only other noticeable landmarks are small crystalline "trees" dotting the landscape sparsely. With the exception of Hollows, nobody may post here without permission.
An undergound territory equally as vast as the sands that lie far above it, the Menos Forest is the source of the the tiny branches of crystalline trees that poke through the Arenas Blancas. Gigantic, hulking trunks of the "trees" make this area a dark labyrinth of many horrors, and the rocky crags and caves in some areas give more powerful Hollows lairs and vantage points from which to track their prey. Most Hollows below Menos Medio level cannot hope to survive here without constant danger. With the exception of Hollows, nobody can roleplay here without permission.
