Squad Profiles

~ First Squad, The Duelists ~

First Squad is for duelists. This is not simply for the one who likes fighting others, but more for the professional fighter. Remember the stories you heard of the Shootist, the Ronin, the lone sniper? Those are the kinds of members you will find in First Squad.

Our squad is focused on being extremely capable. You don't have to have power, you don't have to have insanity or mastery of one thing, but you do have to be able to use your skills to their fullest potential and to be able to out class your opponents.

Ideally the member of First Squad should be able to stand toe to toe with an Arancar or a Vizard and beat them simply by using every aspect of their combat skills. They should also be able to win through honorable means.

That is the way of the Warrior, the code of Bushido which First Squad is. You won't be required to train others, because being a member of First Squad means you are an elite fighter. You will be expected to develop your skills, to keep the skills you have in training and honed. Your compensation will be that you will have luxurious surroundings to relax in, because when you are on duty you will be giving everything you have to win.

Cool considerate thinking warriors are wanted. Are you capable of being a true Warrior?

~Second Squad, Reconnaissance and Special Operations~

We are Second Division, the Black Ops. The most dangerous missions are reserved for us. We are silence and stealth itself. We are the shadows.

We seek the quick and the cunning, shinigami dedicated to the undetectable arts. Warriors who strike without a sound and leave no trace. Our fighters are fast and lithe, killing with guile and a hidden sword. We excel in hand-to-hand combat and hidden weaponry. Mastery of our powers culminates in the shunko.

Second Squad has two main duties. We are the Punishment Force, terminating our comrades who have broken the law. To this end, each member of the squad must be devoted to their duty. It is one thing to kill a hollow, quite another to kill a fellow shinigami.

We are the Executive Milita, acting as scouts against the hollows. This is where the necessity for stealth is paramount. We must be able to gather accurate information and report back to the commanders. We cannot allow our comrades to enter a battle unprepared.


Our symbol is the tulip. Seek Nothing, for you will find no trace of our presence. We vanish like smoke.

Come, slip into the shadows.

3rd Squad (Fast Strike Group)

Squad 3, the Fast Strike Group, we are the strong arm of the guild. We provide the muscle and speed where it is needed. We never turn down a fight, we never run from a fight, and we always protect our friends, no matter what. Squad 3 is know for their raw power, but even more, the raw power they know how to control. Ever wanted to beat the crap out of Hollows with a flick of the wrist? Or take on the best despite your level? My training can whip you into shape right away. I respect everyone in my squad and I expect you to do the same. We are squad 3, the strength, the power, the control of The Sereitei.

-Squad 4--Medical Division

Squad 4... You all know it as the healing squad. Some of you also may know it as the "sissy" squad. I would like to deny and challenge anyone who believes in that truthfully. Squad 4 is the major healing squad, but that doesn't mean we can't fight too. Sure it's logical that our hand to hand might not be better then Squad 7, and we might not be as fast as someone from squad 2. Let me say this though, if we were to be in a battle and someone on the front lines get hurt, would someone weak risk their own life to save someone that was more then likely making fun of them before that moment. Squad 4 is not known for brute strength, but for the mental and the will to protect and heal any shinigami in need. That is much more valuable then any type of Hadou or any shikai technique.

What you will learn in Squad 4 are basic healing kidou called Chiyudou (Way of Healing). Chiyudou are what we use to heal and save. Whenever a new member joins, Captain Iu or Vice Captain Onalim takes them into a classroom area and sets them up with all the healing supplies. After sorting through it all, we work with you and teach the basics. If you find yourself in a higher seat, you might be approached personally by Captain Iu and taught higher level Chiyudou. Consider that to be an honor to be praised in that way.

Overall you may look over Squad 4 just because we aren't fully combat oriented. Just remember though, disrespect can come from anyone, but courage is a trait only a few can master and use on the battle field. Have the courage to step up and join the medical squad.

-Division 5 ~ Kidou Specialists-

Division five is a small, laid-back yet organized unit that cares about its members and who they are. We work hard to learn the arts of kidou and work even harder to maintain our minds on the battlefield and in training. Using kidou is more than just chanting words. It is about keeping our focus and control over ourselves when it really counts.

We pay close attention to our members. In order to maintain and achieve the mental stability that is required in our practice, we will never hesitate to lend a hand to our comrades in need. We expect nothing but the best (In RP) from everyone. Strict (RP) rules ensure that everybody is a leader when it comes to doing what is right. No exceptions are made- everyone is treated equally.

-Kidou Warrior Ethos-

-We are the elite few who delicate ourselves to the performance and mastering of the demon arts known as Kidou-

-We always place the mission and our duties before ourselves-

-The safety of our comrades is top priority. Nobody fights alone and nobody is left behind-

-In utilizing our unique power, we shall deploy, engage and blow the enemies of the sereitei into tiny smoking bits in order to protect and fulfill our duty as shinigami-

6th Division -- Strategy and Tactics

The 6th Division are forever students of the art of war. We do not excel in any physical combat skill, instead focusing on the mental part, putting to use all of the skills we have. If one of us is weak in one skill, they will know how to make up that weakness with a strength in another skill. In a team, the whole shall be greater than the sum of its parts, as while some members may be weaker and others stronger, the combined tactical minds will create a smoother strategy that will make any single member's weakness quite irrelevant.

Tactics requires thought and planning to go into one's attacks (read: posts), with thoughts not just on what one is doing, but what one wishes to do by performing such an action. While this may seem like a squad less geared toward combat, it should be quite obvious what the best test of strategy is - the battlefield. Sparring will obviously be commonplace in order to test strategies, as well as to test performance in certain conditions.

Also remember to keep your strategy neat and easy to follow in case other members of the squad or the Soul Society wish to build on it. Spelling and grammar could mean the difference between a wonderful, unbeatable (for now) strategy, and a sloppy strategy that even a kamikaze artist could tear apart in seconds. Lack of description could also cause confusion, and confusion is not what we want in our ranks - that's for the enemy.

Our duty is simple: to make sure we win, and our enemies lose. No ifs, ands, or buts. We are to create a winning strategy to defeat our enemies, whoever those enemies may be.

Squad 7 - Hand-To-Hand Combat

Squad 7 is a squad for self development through the body and mind. Squad 7 is for those people who are more suited for unarmed combat. By focusing on self reliance, Squad 7 allows Shinigami to defend themselves if they were to lose their blades. It prevents over reliance on your zanpakuto's power, even though it will be your greatest ally in any fight.

One large part of Squad 7 is the spiritual aspect. Through meditation and breathing exercises, we allow ourselves to control our mind. Inner peace is the gateway to complete bodily control. Through this inner peace, one more goal of Squad 7 is accomplished: Self Development. We aim to develop our own fighting styles without copying established forms.

After training in Squad 7, you should be able to stand up to any opponent without a weapon.

Squad 7 is a squad where a person really develops their own sense of self. They develop as their own person, with their own style. The squad is very relaxed and centers in on your needs.

Squad 8- The central intelligence division

Squad 8, the CIA of Seireitei. Known as the Central Intel Division of the Seireitei, we are the ones who are the observers, the thinkers, and the ones who are regularly put in danger. Not only does that mean you have to be quick and intelligent, but that means you need to know combat as well. Joining Squad 8 means making a commitment to hard work, training, and being ready for anything. We are the ones who are called in not only to investigate or gather intel, but we are the ones who will be the fighters, also. Be ready to use your mind and body as one in Squad 8, and be ready to be the best you can be.

-Squad 9--Internal Affairs

Although some shinigami tend to view the squad as a squad of cowards, sissies, and girly-men, second only to the scrutinies that plagued the Fourth Squad, the truth of the matter is actually far from what Squad Nine truly is. Sure, its peace-oriented members who strive to keep the peace in the Sereitei and would rather opt to talk peacefully than draw a sword may be the principal cause of this view, however, very few shinigami seem to know the fact that this squad is still a part of the 13 Court Guards and will not hesitate to draw their swords if ever the peace of the Sereitei is threatened.

Justice, peace, friendship, love and unity -- these are but some of the core values by which Squad Nine stand for. However, even with all these values, this squad is mainly built upon the concept of sacrifice, as one would see in their daily actions as peacemakers, defenders, and friends.

As peacemakers, Squad Nine truly believes that, through mutual cooperation, peace can be achieved, and as such, they seek to bridge the gap between the people of the Sereitei, even reaching out to other races such as Bounts, Vizards and Quincys, all for the sake for inter-racial peace and harmonious coexistence.

As comrades and defenders in times of crisis, the squad stands as a bastion of hope for 12 other court guard units, as well as the Sereitei, and is responsible for keeping morale up and make or maintain peace. Even in darkest of days, when hope is lost and the hearts and wills of their fellows shinigami broken, they rise up and raise their banner high and face the enemy with zeal and fervor, fighting on until their last breath, yet even then, they still hold their banner high.

And finally, as friends, Squad Nine members are ready to take on any role, fiercely defending their comrades, gladly sacrificing themselves, both in body and/or in spirit, for the sake of the greater good of their loved ones and their homeland.

Even as emissaries of peace, comrades-in-arms, and friends to our loved ones, the spirit of peace drives Squad Nine members forward, fighting on until there are no more fights needed to be fought, no matter how long or how far. Why do we do this? Our answer is simple.

Squad 10: The Elementals

Squad 10 is a place for those who are in tune with the elements. Squad 10 has an advantage in the way that they have one more card up their sleeve, the power of the element(s).

This is not a place for the faint of heart, for we train hard and are strong for it. We lend help to those who need it and we train our members to be the best. We hone our abilities and learn how to accept our powers for what they are. Only those who have a strong will can make it in Squad 10.

Squad 11: Combat Badasses

We here at Squad 11 like to cut things... a lot. We are NOT a bunch of kidou firing fairies or people who are good at running away from people. We are the bullies of Soul Society. We don't care if you are good with Hadou, Bakudou, or shunpo. We cut things... simple as that. We don't think we are better than any squad nor do we care if we are. We just cut thing! Why don't you get it? We use brute strength to get what we want. We are not accessible to any type of retreat order nor any group activities. I consider both of those things "fluff". Fluff is stuff that weak people do.

-Squad 12--Research/ Tech Division-

12th Squad is a squad that prides itself on knowing everything about technology, as well as the weaknesses, strengths, and anything else you could imagine, about our opponents. This means that in 12th squad you need to be more of a thinker and planner than a fighter. This means in 12th squad is for those who like to get the upper hand on any opponent using their minds instead of their bodies.

One part of Squad 12 is that we make experiments to better help the squad, and to help keep the "bad guys" away. Be it vizards, hollows, Quincy, or even bount, we will find a way to combat them. Through success and failures we make the best technology for the fighters and those who need them most. this is the squad that help protect the seireitei from behind the lines.

After you enter Squad 12, you should expect to be taught how to make any kind of device, and know how to use it. This could mean long training hours with the certain device to use it fully, or making your own devices and using them yourselves.

Squad 12 is not by all means just a weak technology squad. We are the squad that are best suited for the long fights, the ones that you need the most skill on. why? Because we are the ones who will have the best endurance, the ones who will come out the winner because we do not just use our swords and bodies as our only means of attack.

We are the ones who are the makers, the ones who are the minds behind the tech. The one who are victorious because we use every part of our body and mind as one.
