Shinigami Info

General Info:

In this thread is all the information pertaining to Shinigami including ranks, responsibilities, as well as how to attain each rank. There are 10 available seats for each division (including Captains and Lieutenants) at the moment. Characters graduating from the academy are listed as "unseated" unless otherwise specified by management. We will open more seats as needed. It IS possible for your character to be demoted and replaced by others at the discretion of each division's Captain.


Rank Info:

Captains-

The only way for a lieutenant character to get past their level cap is to become a Captain. (see the Level System for more information).

To become a Captain:

Your character does not necessarily have to be level 70. However, your character must have achieved Bankai. If you have, put in a formal request in the Questions & Requests board titled appropriately. Be sure to include which division to which you are applying for captaincy. Wait for a mod to review your request. If a mod approves of the work you've put forth in this site and in bettering your character (which means being active with said character, having gone on missions with said character etcetera etcetera), you may be awarded Captain Rank you will then be reassigned to a new division. An admin's word is law on this, and they may ask you to either post more, or be more active with that character before they will allow a promotion. Defeating an existing Captain in a formal challenge will also result in gaining Captain rank.

Lieutenants-

The only way for a character to train beyond level 55 is to gain Lieutenant rank. Your character does not necessarily have to have reached level 50 to become a lieutenant, however, Shikai is a requirement. If you have, make a formal request in the Questions & Requests board, with an appropriate title. Be sure to include which division to which you are applying for the position. Wait for a mod to review your request. If a mod approves of the work you've put forth in this site and in bettering your character (which means being active with said character, having gone on missions with said character etcetera etcetera), you may be awarded Lieutenant Rank you will then be reassigned to a new division. An admin's word is law on this, and they may ask you to either post more, or be more active with that character before they will allow a promotion. Defeating an existing lieutenant in a formal challenge will result in you gaining the former Vice-captain's rank, and they, yours.
