Anthromorphs

[GoldenKitten]

So lets discuss the obvious and how it might apply to our RP (some people already have...but anyway ).

What in the ten bloody hells and a monkey on my head is up with Saijin? Don't remember Saijin? Well heres a hint, hes the only person in Bleach who looks like a giant anthro-fox on steroids. Captain of 7th if you are feeling particularly slow today.

What made him like this? Was he always this way or was he transformed when he became a soul which I seem to recall was one players answer to the problem. I ask the question because we have allowed shinigami to take on this trait but no other races, should we? If so how would we explain their presence? Are they another species like the Bount or Quincy? Is it completely random? Are they a magical race that comes from the land of pixies, unicorns and sunshine?

Pretty much anything you can think of, give us your opinion and then answer the poll. Personally I think we should allow any race, even humans to be as such but then I have a personal stake in this in wanting to make an anthro character but not wanting another shinigami. I have possibilities for how they might be around but I want your opinions.

Vouch for your chance to stretch reality even farther !

im all for more options and creativeness so i say allow it... plus a few cat girls wont hurt anybody....

yeah. not big on words tonight so thats all i have to say about it.

I think anyone should be allowed to, so long as they do more than Sajin. -_- Oh how I wish he didn't get owned everytime he moved, though it was at the hands of Aizen and Kenpachi. I think that it might be the result of some action or defining trait during his real life, like a sort of kharma. Like, he was human and did something Wolfy (?) and thus he was renicarnated in SS as whatever he is. Or maybe someone messed up his Konso. XD

I think we would do better with more info, seeing as we don't really know much about Mr. Fuzzy with the death defying Bankai =P

I voted the "not enough info" option, but I do actually have a plausible theory on the matter, perhaps, Sajin is actually just a wolf who had a massive amount of reiatsu and after dying his soul was allowed to take on a humanoid form. In fact, I was originally planning to make Tsuno of Squad Two a fox-person or even a cat-person to complete the ninja theme but in the end the lack of details swayed me into making him a normal humanoid soul instead of a potential Yoruichi-esque Sajin rip-off.

I voted not enough info.

Though I did have a theory about it as well. But Galihan had already said it. Also, I thought that Kaijin was a Fox?

[wanzer]

Just gonna say it should be allowed, but definately need more info. My theory is that Kaijin was born as a spirit and most likely a kick back to some Japanese/Chinese Mythology....I believe the seekers of knowledge were said to be like Kaijin so he could just be one of those spirits that took on the role of a death God.

I'm new here, introduced to the site by Wanzer, so I don't expect my vocal opinion to make too much influence, but I think anthromorphs should be allowed as characters. Honestly, who wouldn't want to be reminiscent of Komamura? And I think Bleach could do with one or two more anthromorphs, even though it might be too late for an anthro Espada/Arrancar to show up in the current season. My first character bio concept, if accepted, is anthropomorphic, but I can change it if an anthro character wouldn't be allowed.
