Section 3 Scratch Notes

[Tsuyoshi Minamoto]

On Bleach World, characters are given a set of attributes that determine their raw capability in a variety of fields, referred to as ‘Stats’, providing a numerical reference point for their abilities. Every character, based on application, is given a certain number of ‘SP’ or ‘Stat Points’ on creation, and is awarded a certain number of SP when earning Class promotions based on their race. Additionally, SP can be allocated by converting TP to SP, as shown in Section 1. Different races have different maximums for their total amount of SP and how SP is acquired with each Class promotion, so it is important to read each race carefully to determine your character’s specific SP growth, as shown in Section 2.

Traditionally, ‘SP’ (or Stat Points) are assigned before Type modifiers are added. Before Type, the average character can have no more than 400 SP applied to any singular stat. There are rare exceptions to this.¹ Type modifiers are then applied (usually based on rank) to achieve an ‘After Type’ set of stats. Some techniques and abilities utilize stats ‘before’ type, while some utilize them ‘after’, so it is important to read techniques and abilities carefully when choosing them for your character.

Each of the below sections are divided for convenience into an introductory section, a section for reference, and a narrative section. For most players, after reading the post, the referential section will be enough for future review, but it is important for all players to read through each section at least once to get a full idea of what each statistic does.

In each section, including this one, there are footnotes at the end of the post that more fully explain unusual or exceptional circumstances that are not included in the main body of the post. Please click the numbers at the end of each post in order to read these exceptions.

Physical Statistics

On Bleach World, statistics may be broken up into broader categories. The first of these categories are referred to as ‘Physical Statistics’ and define the capabilities of your character’s physical characteristics. They are broken down into ‘Strength’ and ‘Speed’. While somewhat self-explanatory, there are some general rules of thumb to know for each of these statistics, as well as certain milestones for each statistic. Below, there are three spoilers - ‘General’, ‘Strength’ and ‘Speed’, which can be clicked to reveal some quick reference information for each statistic. It is heavily encouraged for all players to read through the entire post regardless of familiarity to understand the more nuanced aspects of each statistic, and for a larger understanding of how each statistic works in a narrative format.

{General}
A. All Physical Statistic effects are determined After Type. Temporary effects may be acquired by boosting the stat in question further.

B. Having a 0 in either Physical Statistic After Type results in severe debilitation. Having a 50 in either Physical Statistic After Type is considered your ‘average human’, while a 150 is considered to be the absolute limit for a non-spiritual human.¹

C. Physical Statistics do NOT follow a directly linear progression. The difference between 150 and 300 is NOT the same as the difference between 1200 and 1350. In general, however, differences of less than 150 can be overcome through superior skill or creative application in combat threads.

D. Physical statistics may be ‘self-restrained’ at will. Utilizing a physical statistic above 500 results in approximately twice the amount of stamina drain, respective to the statistic used. This drain can be mitigated by utilizing ‘rest’ posts or ‘breaks’ in character movement in between actions. (E.g. Moving at a Speed of 600 for two posts in a row would drain as much stamina as though the character had been moving at that speed for four posts.

E. Stamina is very, very weakly influenced by how closely a character is moving and acting at their limits. (E.g. It will be more exhausting for a character with a maximum of 700 strength to utilize all 700 strength, than for a character with a maximum of 1400 strength, but it will still be exceptionally exhausting overall).

{Strength}
A. Strength is an Offensive Statistic, or ‘OS’. This means that, if it is the strongest of the three Offensive Statistics, it may be used to determine the strength of your release (provided the character has a physically-based release form) and your overall penetrative power against many defensive techniques.

B. There is a minimum amount of strength each character needs in order to function without being hindered by your body frame, as follows:

Height	Required Strength (After Type and Modifiers)
Under 8 Feet Tall	25 Strength
8-15 Feet Tall	100 Strength
15-20 Feet Tall	250 Strength
20-30 Feet Tall	400 Strength
30-40 Feet Tall	750 Strength

RPCs cannot normally exceed 40 feet in height.²

C. Certain levels of strength, after type and modifiers, bestow unique characteristics or abilities to the character, as follows:

Strength	Durability Characteristics	Destructive Capability
50 Strength	Average Human Durability	Average Human Capability
150 Strength	Peak Non-Spiritual Human Durability; Capable of surviving multiple debilitating non-lethal penetrative and blunt force traumas while maintaining fighting function, or single instances of otherwise lethal penetrative or blunt force traumas while maintaining decreased levels of function; Capable of surviving exposure to extreme elements for up to an hour before skills	Peak Non-Spiritual Human Capability; Capable of damaging metal, wooden, or concrete structures with special application of the limbs, capable of single-instance feats of extreme strength at the limit of normal human capabilities
200 Strength	Average Spirit Durability; Capable of surviving impact against structures that would distort the shape of wooden or metal structures	Average Spirit Capability; Capable of punching holes slightly larger than one’s fist into wood or metals, capable of significantly distorting concrete, capable of jumping 1-2 stories into the air with pure physical strength
400 Strength	Above Average Spirit Durability; Capable of surviving impact against structures that would leave significant damage to wooden or metal structures, or that would significantly distort concrete structures; Capable of surviving exposure to extreme temperatures for up to 3-4 hours before skills	Above Average Spirit Capability; Capable of punching holes slightly larger than one’s fist into concrete, capable of jumping 3-4 stories into the air with pure physical strength
600 Strength	Masterful Spirit Durability; Capable of using strength to ‘flex’ directly into oncoming physical attacks, negating the damage from physical attacks that have a difference of 150 or more compared to the character’s strength	Masterful Spirit Capability; Capable of creating shockwaves with physical attacks (Shockwaves require 50 Senses to see, and travel at cero speeds, and are roughly 2-2.5m in diameter, depending on the trajectory of the attack)
800 Strength	Peak Spirit Durability; Capable of surviving severe life-threatening penetrative or blunt force trauma provided it isn’t directly to a vital organ, as well as forcing relocation of body parts without loss of form or function; Capable of closing major bleedings wounds through flexion of muscle tissue	Peak Spirit Capability; Capable of significantly damaging or destroying structures made of concrete, or may cleave through concrete supports without difficulty; Capable of altering terrain through physical force, such as flattening small hills or splitting grasslands into small valleys
1000 Strength	Legendary Spirit Durability; Capable of forcing broken bones back into their original functionality through pure strength without loss of function	Legendary Spirit Capability; Capable of negating any incoming attacks that have a difference of 150 or more compared to the character’s strength, capable of using strength to break spiritual bindings that have a difference of 150 or more compared to the character’s strength

While there are no greater listed levels, the feats that one may perform through strength alone continue to grow as one’s strength increases, indefinitely.

{Speed} A. Speed is NOT an Offensive Statistic, or 'OS' and may not be treated as such under any circumstances. Speed determines everything about the speed at which your character acts and loosely affects how they perceive the world around them.

B. Speed may be affected above the x3 Stat Cap rule through the usage of step techniques, which can increase the speed of a character’s movement for a singular action or movement.

C. Characters generally are able to perceive the speed at which objects are moving around them based on a combination of three statistics: Senses, Instinct and Speed. See Sensory Stats for additional information on how Senses and Instinct affect speed recognition. The following table describes the relationship between Senses, Instinct, and Character Speed. Note that this table is a guideline, as not all characters will fit comfortably on the table. This is a limitation of the system.

Combined Senses and Instinct	Maximum Movement Speed Perception
100	Characters may perceive movement from characters with a speed difference of 100 or less, without step techniques, or 1000 or less, with their fastest step technique, without loss of visual acuity. Characters will have significant difficulty perceiving any movement with characters of a speed difference of 200 or more, without step techniques, or 2000 or more with their fastest step techniques.
200	Characters may perceive movement from characters with a speed difference of 150 or less, without step techniques, or 1250 or less, with their fastest step technique, without loss of visual acuity. Characters will have significant difficulty perceiving any movement with characters of a speed difference of 250 or more, without step techniques, or 2500 or more with their fastest step techniques.
400	Characters may perceive movement from characters with a speed difference of 200 or less, without step techniques, or 2000 or less, with their fastest step technique, without loss of visual acuity. Characters will have significant difficulty perceiving any movement with characters of a speed difference of 300 or more, without step techniques, or 3000 or more with their fastest step techniques.
600	Characters may perceive movement from characters with a speed difference of 300 or less, without step techniques, or 3000 or less, with their fastest step technique, without loss of visual acuity. Characters will have significant difficulty perceiving any movement with characters of a speed difference of 500 or more, without step techniques, or 5000 or more with their fastest step techniques.
800	Characters may perceive movement from characters with a speed difference of 500 or less, without step techniques, or 5000 or less, with their fastest step technique, without loss of visual acuity. Characters will have significant difficulty perceiving any movement with characters of a speed difference of 1000 or more, without step techniques, or 10000 or more with their fastest step techniques.

The ability to perceive movement at certain speeds does not necessarily mean that the character will be able to respond to the incoming attack, though extremely high instinct may allow a character to prepare or pre-emptively move in response to an incoming attack faster than an attacker may correct their attack for. This is better explained in the instincts section. Speed in extreme close quarters is, likewise, more reliant on instinct than on senses. Energy Sensory may also play a role in recognizing step techs before they are used. It is exceptionally important to understand the relationship between Sensory Stats and Speed.

D. Certain levels of Speed, after type and modifiers (excluding step techniques), bestow unique characteristics or abilities to the character, as follows:

Speed	Unique Base Movement Qualities	Unique Step Technique Qualities
600 Speed	Movement leaves flickering afterimages that affect visual acuity without the appropriate Senses and Instinct, which disappear within the same second of movement	N/A
800 Speed	Movement leaves flickering afterimages that affect visual acuity without the appropriate Senses and Instinct, which disappear within the multiple seconds of movement	Step Techniques leave indentations in the ground and cause small gusts of wind. These gusts of wind have no effect on characters with 50 or more strength.
1000 Speed	Movement causes small gusts of wind. These gusts of wind have no effect on characters with 50 or more strength.	Step Techniques may cause small whirlwinds. These whirlwinds have no effect on characters with 100 or more strength.
1200 Speed	Movement causes small whirlwinds. These whirlwinds have no effect on characters with 100 or more strength.	Step Techniques may cause small wind tunnels. These wind tunnels have no effect on characters with 150 or more strength.

Spiritual Stats

Spiritual Stats refer to your character’s Reiatsu Strength and Spiritual Pressure. These statistics define the spiritual limitations of your character. Reiatsu Strength refers to how well they mold their spiritual energy’s shape and potency. Spiritual Pressure refers to your character’s overall spiritual presence, as well as determining the amount of spiritual energy at your character’s willing disposal. These spiritual abilities have some unique mechanics, and both spiritual statistics can be used as a character’s Offensive Stat, through different means. Below, there are three spoilers - ‘General’, ‘Reiatsu Strength’ and ‘Spiritual Pressure’, which can be clicked to reveal some quick reference information for each statistic. It is heavily encouraged for all players to read through the entire post regardless of familiarity to understand the more nuanced aspects of each statistic, and for a larger understanding of how each statistic works in a narrative format.

SPOILER: Click to show

{General}A. All Spiritual Statistic effects are determined After Type. Temporary effects may be acquired by boosting the stat in question further.

B. Both Spiritual Stats are Offensive Statistics, or ‘OS’. This means that, if either one of them are the strongest of the three Offensive Statistics, it may be used to determine the strength of your release. For Reiatsu Strength, your release must have a non-physically confined release form. In the case of Spiritual Pressure, your release may have any form. While Spiritual Pressure may be used as your OS for release techniques, it is only very rarely used as the OS for non-release techniques.

C. Reiatsu Strength and Spiritual Pressure may be converted into each other, utilizing the statistic before type. Converting the two statistics requires a commitment to focusing on the conversion in question, and costs 300 Reiatsu per conversion. There is no limit to the amount of conversions that can be made, but you may only do this conversion every three posts. Conversions modify the base statistics, before type, and are thus subject to type multipliers after conversion. While increasing Spiritual Pressure in this fashion increases your maximum Reiatsu, it does NOT increase your current Reiatsu.
