TIER RANK SYSTEM

[Zasalamel Escudo]

Tier Rank

To determine how powerful one's character is compared to another RPC, the Tiering Rank System will be implemented. This will allow people to gauge how much they will fare against another person or NPC in battle. Note that Tier Levels are equivalent to an RPG's Level Value. The higher your Tier is, the stronger you are, and the better techniques you get access to.

• S-Rank
  -Those who attains this rank can be considered as the best of the best. They gain access to S-Rank techniques as well, and are hardly matched by anyone lower in a one on one fight. They have attained the following:
  
  • Shinigami - Mastered Bankai to an art form allowing far better manipulation of the Bankai Form, and are given the privilege of learning Kido numbered 80 to 99. Also unlocks Eishohaki and Double Incantation, and their Kido are considerably more powerful than any rank. Faster Shunpo is also unlocked.
    
    
  • Arrancar - Unlocked the ability to call forth their Segunda Etapa. They also gain access to much more powerful Cero, such as Cero Oscuras. Usually belongs to the Espada Ranking 1-4. They also have faster Sonido and gains an enhanced Hierro. They also have the best Pesquis ability.
    
    
  • Quincy - Reached the Epitome of Quincy-hood. They unlock the ability to create and mold their reiatsu to form different kinds of projectiles aside from arrows, and to form their quincy bows to an entirely different form (i.e. Guns, Crossbows, and Ballista). Also gains access to Ransōtengai, and can apply for the use of Sanrei Glove. Gintō Spells numbered 80-99 can be used.
    
    
  • Bounts - Gains the title of a True Bount, thereby attaining a higher form of strength than a normal bount. A True Bount can now command 3 Dolls, instead of the normal two. A True Bount's doll are also a level stronger than a normal bount's doll, and the 3rd doll is automatically loyal to its master.
    
    
  • Humans - Although very rare, S-Ranked Humans unlocks the ability to expand their powers so they can mold their reiatsu to form durable armor around their body (though not similar to Hierro). They also can manifest weapons using their arms (i.e. form elemental swords, lances, spears, etc.)
    
  
  
  
• A- Rank
  - Attaining this rank meant that an RPC is near the penultimate limit of his or her power. This rank is usually hard to pass but certainly is worth trying to. Also once this rank is attained, you gain access to A-Ranked Techniques.
  
  • Shinigami - Learned Bankai. Note that since the Character has just learned Bankai, it means that one cannot expect the shinigami to be very proficient with its use. Therefore, Bankai powers cannot be expected to match Bankai of someone who attained an S-Ranked. Kido numbered from 60-79 can now be learned. Can start to Apply for Captain Positions. Captain level Shunpo can also be learned (if application for captain position was approved).
    
    
  • Arrancar - Unlocks the ability to take on a Middle Espada Rank, numbers 5-7. Also gains access to Gran Rey Cero. Gains middle espada level Shunpo and Hierro.
    
    
  • Hollows - Attains the ability to evolve into a Vasto Lorde. They also can opt to become an Arrancar. This is the final rank a Hollow can reach, in which they must opt to become an Arrancar if they wish to reach S-Rank.
    
    
  • Quincy - Gains access to the use of Seele Schneiders. Arrows are also considerably stronger. Unlocks the ability to fire arrows continuously in one draw. Gains Expert Hirenkyaku, which matches Captain level Shunpo, or Middle Level Espada's Sonido. Gintō Spells numbered 60-79 can be used.
    
    
  • Bounts - Dolls can now fuse with their user through the command "Bilden Sie Zuerst" instead of releasing them completely. This allows the user to attack with the dolls. Also gains the loyalty of the 2nd Doll, which makes the user safe from being killed by his/her own doll.
    
    
  • Humans - Unlocks the ability to channel reiatsu to their feet so that they can move at a level on par with a Shinigami's Shunpo or an Arrancar's sonido. Unlike Shunpo and Sonido, however, this movement brings about a heightened level of fatigue.
    
  
  
  
• B-Rank
  -This rank is the middle, and attaining this means that the RPC has gained enough experience in the world. Techniques of Rank B can now be learned. Lieutenant Rank flourishes here.
  
  • Shinigami - Mastered Shikai, allowing more powerful shikai attacks (though less than a Bankai). Kido numbered from 40-59 can now be learned. Can also start to apply for Lieutenant Rank / 2nd Seat. Gains lieutenant level Shunpo (when application for lieutenant position is approved).
    
    
  • Arrancar - Unlocks the ability to take on a Low Espada Rank, numbers 8-10. Also gains access to Garganta and enhanced Pesquis. Espada gains the ability to take on other RPCs as fraccion. Espada in this rank can access Low Level Sonido and Hierro.
    
    
  • Hollows - Evolves into an Adjucha and gains enhanced hollow abilities. Cero is significantly stronger than a gillian class, and also attains a level of individuality. These adjucha can also opt to become Arrancars at this level, but note that you cannot attain Segunda Etapa if you became an arrancar as an Adjucha or Gillian.
    
    
  • Quincy - Gains access to Advanced Hirenkyaku, which can match Lieutenant level Shunpo, or a Low Espada's Sonido. Can now fire a burst of 25 arrows per draw of the bow. Gintō Spells numbered 40-59 can be used.
    
    
  • Bounts - Gains access to a second doll. This doll is not loyal yet to the user, and so attaining enough injury or exhausting one's self will cause the doll to turn against its user, and can kill him/her.
    
    
  • Humans - Unlocks the ability to create another appendage on another part of the body, thereby giving increased overall utility of said part of the body (i.e. Chad's Brazo Izquierda Del Diablo.). Appendage can only be implemented either on the arms or the legs.
    
  
  
  
• C-Rank

[/u]
-This rank is a step above the lowest, and so the RPC starts to become stronger. Several key abilities are unlocked in this level, especially for Shinigami and Arrancars. Numeros also start at this rank.

• Shinigami - Learns Shikai. Unlocks the ability to commune with the zanpakutou spirit. Also gains the ability to use low level Shunpo, and the ability to wield Kido numbered 20-39.
  
  
• Arrancar - Unlocks the ability to become a Numeros (#11-#99). Also gains access to sub-par Sonido and Hierro. Grants ordinary Pesquis. This rank is the lowest rank an Arrancar can start in.
  
  
• Hollows - Evolves into a Gillian-Class hollow. These Gillians can also opt to become Arrancars at this level, but note that you cannot attain Segunda Etapa if you became an arrancar as an Adjucha or Gillian. Also grants access to Cero.
  
  
• Quincy - Gains access to low-level Hirenkyaku. Arrows can be fired in a burst of 5 per draw of the bow. Gintō Spells numbered 20-39 can be used.
  
  
• Bounts - Gains the loyalty of the 1st doll. These immunizes the bount from any risks of being killed by the 1st doll if the doll's master becomes fatigued or severely injured.
  
  
• Humans - Attacks and Defenses are increased, making them slightly stronger. They become at par with C-Rank Techniques.
  

[/li][li]D-Rank[/u]
-The lowest rank possible. Majority will start here, and will work themselves up to reach the C-Rank. Not much is expected from people in this rank, and are certainly not expected to participate in high-risk Plot Threads.

• Shinigami - Just graduate from the academy. Not much fighting experience, and certainly has not yet attained Shikai. Kido number from 1-19 can be learned.
  
  
• Hollows - An ordinary hollow. Consuming other souls and hollows are essential to evolve. Can fire off weak spirit blasts.
  
  
• Quincy - Gains the ability to form a basic bow. Firing speed is low, and so only 1 arrow is fired per draw of the bow. Gintō Spells numbered 1-19 can be used.
  
  
• Bounts - Gains access to their very first doll. This doll is not loyal yet to the user, and so attaining enough injury or exhausting one's self will cause the doll to turn against its user, and can kill him/her.
  
  
• Humans - Unlocks the ability to create an appendage on the arms or the legs. This appendage can boost the attack or defense (choose just 1) of the limb.
