Welcome to Akatokiyami - Scattered Souls, an active custom Bleach RP set in the 1400s.
Conflict.
War raged unchecked between the inhabitants of Soul Society and Hueco Mundo with the physical realm as their battlefield. Lives were lost, futures were changed, and history was made.
The fighting has seemingly settled down. But with the Bount, Vizard, and Arrancar looming in shadows those like the Shinigami, Quincy, and humans caught in the crosshairs know the peace wont last.

There are seven different factions for you to choose from. Each faction has its own strengths and weaknesses as well as their own connections to each other. For a basic summary of each faction click on the name.
Shinigami, also known as soul reapers or death gods, are in charge of keeping the balance of souls intact between the realms. They are also tasked with protecting the human realm from the attacks of hollow. For more detailed information about the shinigami, you can view their faction information thread in the Help Desk, located here.
Mod-Souls are articifial beings created by the Shinigami to aid them in combat and other missions. They are kept under the supervision of the 12th Division. For more detailed information about Mod-Souls, you can view their faction information thread in the Help Desk, located here.
Hollow and Arrancar are the antithesis of Shinigami. They hold no respect for human life, rather, they choose to devour human souls to further their own goals of power. Arrancar are the final stage of power for Hollow, having undergone 'shinigamification' to gain powers similar to those who hunt them down. For more detailed information about Hollow and Arrancar, you can view their faction information thread in the Help Desk, located here.
Vizard are former Shinigami who have undergone 'hollowfication' either by artificial or normal means. They have gained access to the powers of Hollow causing their former allies to turn their backs on them and hunt them down as if they were true Hollow. For more detailed information about Vizard, you can view their faction information thread in the Help Desk, located here.
Bount are a result from a failed experiment from the Shinigami. Like the Vizard, Bount are hunted down by the Shinigami who created them as their abilities are considered dangerous, especially to the humans they live among. For more detailed information about Bount, you can view their faction information thread in the Help Desk, located here.
Quincy are humans who have gained specific spiritual abilities in the form of bows that allow them to fire arrows which can completely erase a soul from existence. Because of the war between Shinigami and Hollow that caught the quincy in the middle and this ability to destroy souls that throws the balance out of order, Quincy and Shinigami are eternally at odds. For more detailed information about Quincy, you can view their faction information thread in the Help Desk, located here.
Humans are the beings that inhabit the Material Plane. Their numbers are countless but they are often considered the weakest individually. Some humans have developed spiritual abilities over time to defend themselves against Hollow and the like while normal humans have, for the most part, grown to fear their brethren that have these powers. For more detailed information about Humans, you can view their faction information thread in the Help Desk, located here.

Northern Japan (4 sub-boards) Comprised of Districts One through Fourteen, Northern Japan is where the wealthier citizens of the country reside. The Districts here tend to be more law abiding and clean, though very few merchants and businesses can be found here, the landscape is all planned around large homes and estates.
Central Japan (4 sub-boards) The Central section of Japan, spanning across Districts Fifteen through Thirty-Six, is where the rougher groups of humans reside. However, because established ports were already in this area during the reign of the previous emperor, trade and business thrive despite the danger.
Southern Japan (5 sub-boards) Southern Japan is where much spiritual happenings occur, the ever vast population of people continually attract Hollow who hunt for easy snacks. Most of the Districts here, Thirty-Seven through Fifty-Eight, are small rural communities and farm land.
The Tunnels (5 sub-boards) Tunnels running across the width and breadth of Japan, a massive network in intertwining, bisecting and criss-crossing tunnels that would allow anybody who knew how to traverse them to cross Japan in a matter of hours. The tunnel walls are lined with Quincy Silver and Glass, preventing reiatsu signatures from within being detected from without. The tunnels are owned by Gakushiki Rikou, Vizard, who has hidden the hundreds of entrances in deep, secret places all across the land; only those who know of the tunnels will ever find their way in, and only those who Rikou has taught will ever find their way out. Moderator: Cain
Seireitei (10 sub-boards) An expansive walled city, where the 'spiritual police', otherwise known as the Shinigami dwell. Seireitei houses the Gotei, originally comprised of thirteen unique divisions, in addition to the two separate organizations: the Kidō Corps and the Onmitsukidō. They have condensed since then, becoming the Gotei 5. Noble Families of the highest honor and respect reside in this community, as well as the head of Soul Society's judicial branch, the Central 46. Moderator: Daidouji Malik
Moonlit Desert (3 sub-boards) The illuminated, granular surface glistens in the starry twilight of the desert sky; not a single speck or feature of a cloud viewable in such a dazzling atmosphere. This beautiful landscape, however, houses the most sadistic and cruel creatures. This is the land of hollows, blood-thirsty beasts hell bent on tearing prey, and even ones such as themselves apart. They are cannibalistic, and deceiving, most of the time relying primarily on the rare shadows stretched across the rolling hills of sand. No vegetation is present, with the exception of quartz 'trees' randomly sprawled throughout the 'seemingly lifeless' desert.
Las Noches (4 sub-boards) A palatial structure hundreds of times larger than Soul Society, Las Noches was home to the Arrancar. Created from the rocks that form the inner cores of Hueco Mundo, Las Noches is a palace older than memory, a structure raised from the depths of Hueco Mundo by the previous powers that be before passing their powers along to the new age of Arrancar; after a rampaging Adjucha attack, the primary portion of Las Noches has been devastated. Moderator: Scruffles - Bear Wonder
The Arena (5 sub-boards) All faction tournaments are held here in their individual arenas. See Arena Rules in the sub-boards for more specific information.
Mini-RP (6 sub-boards) An area that allows members to RP out whatever they wish; whether it be canon Bleach characters, alternate universes for video games, or worlds they've created themselves. Reaching certain milestones even unlocks special awards!
Note: While you may RP in whatever style you wish (autohitting, godmodding, metagaming included) please remember to be courteous and follow our content rules for the whole board. Thread creators may remove people who are not taking the RP seriously or going against rules they have set for the thread. Moderator: Hirako Shinji
Yami no Taikai (3 sub-boards) The island of Hokkaido has been dominated by the generous masters of the Yami no Taikai tournament; where once the Shinigami could detect minute amounts of reiatsu coming from the island, it has now become a complete dead zone for all tracking methods. This is the place where The King and his ilk intend to hold the greatest tournament to grace the Material Plane, no matter the cost to the participants.
