Hello and welcome to Bleach: Hello Halcyon Days! A. K. A. Bleach HD, our little home. The setting of Bleach HD is, obviously, Tite Kubo's Bleach Universe (roughly following the current timeline in an alternate universe without the canon characters present) and the plot can be read up on [HERE]. It is greatly suggested that you read it.

Once you get caught up with that stuff, you'll want to look over the [GENERAL RULES] if you haven't already. These are essential to be followed, in order to keep peace and the like.

Then you'll want to check up on the [RACIAL OVERVIEW] if you aren't familiar with the races of Bleach (which the site allows as Fullbringers, Quincy, Shinigami/Visored and Hollow/Arrancar as playable races). A character cannot start as a Visored or Arrancar from the start outside of extremely special and unlikely circumstances, but you can read more on that and the 'leveling' system in general in both the [RANKING GUIDELINES] and the [EXPERIENCE GUIDELINES].

If you plan to partake in any sort of combat (c'mon, it's Bleach) you'll want to [SEE THIS] as well.

After all of that is done with you can start on your character! You'll need to choose a race, of course, but all of the race's general guides can be found within the guidelines section. Here is the [CHARACTER TEMPLATE] to get you going, which you'll post in the [CHARACTER CREATION BOARD] and either leave it as is if you finish filling it out or mark it as a Work In Progress for a moderator to revisit later.

You'll need to wait for an admin or moderator to approve your character, but once that's done you're free to Roleplay in your Race's assigned areas. (Fullbringers have access to all the area of England except for the Quincy's Castle, Quincy have the entire World of the Living at their disposal, Shinigami (at starting) may go anywhere in the Soul Society following common sense; and the Hollow take up residence in Hueco Mundo.)

When it comes to purchasing abilities and items those can all be created in their creation areas following the guidelines presented there, with any finished products needed to be put in a topic signed as "[Character Name]'s Item (or ability) List" in the [ITEM LISTING] and [ABILITY LISTING] sections. This means any abilities you unlock or buy, any items you purchase, everything you own will be put into one of those topics. Think of it as a vault, of sorts. Keep everything within that topic and refrain from making any after the initial one for each.

Regardless, welcome to Bleach HD and
