解像度



Welcome to the Eighth Division Handbook. This is Kyoraku Shunsui, Captain of the Eighth Division, and I'm giving you a few tips and pointers on how to survive in this division. If i were you, I'd try to remember this stuff so you don't get in trouble with Nanao, or me.

All Our Basic Rules


Alrighty then, I'll lay down the rules that are for you to follow during your time with us at Eighth Division:

• Nanao-chan, my Lieutenant, is already taken. By whom, you may ask, by me, yours truly~ So I haven't been able to ask her out for a date properly yet, but I'm getting there...slowly...hehehe...
  
  
• You are representing our whole Division when you go on with your daily life, and also, if you don't behave, I'm the one who takes the heat, so please, act your age, behave accordingly, and if you're gonna have sake, please invite me~
  
  
• Nanao gets a little huffy when she catches you slacking off, so if I were you, I'd slack off till you feel her spiritual pressure coming, and then pretend to work hard when she comes into the room.
  ...or actually doing work also works too, but that's the more boring way to keep her from yelling at you, am I right?
  
  
• Please address Nanao and I as Lieutenant Nanao and Captain Kyoraku. It makes us feel special, and more respected by our peers and subordinates. Sure, I don't mind getting friendly with all the pretty ladies, but hey, they only like me because of my status. Nanao likes me for who I am, I'm sure of it. She just plays hard-to-get...every...single day...of her life...
  
  
• If either Nanao or I give you any orders, please do your best to follow them. I don't want my division members to be killed or hurt because they didn't listen to our instructions.
  
  
• If you have a complaint about a member, I'd prefer if you'd take it to Nanao. I don't need too many bad vibes getting me down. Then I'll have to drown my sorrows in sake, which'll make Nanao mad at me, and then I'll get either a fan or a clipboard to the head...I don't like it when she's mad at me, 'cause then there's no chance of her saying yes if I ask her out on a date...sigh...
  
  
• Please respect others. I don't need to get lectured by Yama-ji about how to control my own division, especially in front of the other Captains. And I'm sure Nanao doesn't need reprimanding either.
  
  
• This Division is CONSENT, which means no killing without orders OR permission. Again, I WILL have to take the heat if you don't. Just...don't kill anyone, okay? We want this to be a peaceful place, not a battlefield, okay?
  
  
• Please try to get work done, sure I'm a fan of slacking off, but atleast I get stuff in on time, so Nanao doesn't hurt me or yell. I like how she's the dominant one, but come on. Even I don't like it when she tries the whole 'I love you but I'm gonna beat your ass because you never listen to me and because I'm PMSing right now' gig on me.
  
  
• When you're in another division, please abide by their rules and regulations, as well as ours, just to be safe, okay?
  

Now that that's done, shall we move on to the punishments?

Punishments



Now, if you break any of our Division's major rules or any of the Soul Society's major rules, you will be subject to:

• House Arrest/Confined to Barracks
  
• Rank/Division Stripping(and no, this isn't the good, sexy kind of stripping)
  
• Execution
  

For the not-so-serious rules you are subjected to:

• Scolding by a Higher-Up
  
• Public Embarrassment from Yours Truly~
  
• And the dreaded 'Nanao's book to the head' (I get this one all the time)
  

Now, as you can see, as long as you don't break any rules and don't get on Nanao's bad side(getting on my bad side is hard, believe me), you're fine. And when everything is all peaceful, we can all frolic happily in a field of flowers with narry a worry or care~
Another tip I'd like to add is that we really don't like it when people pick on each other. It's not nice, and unless you're a sadomasochist, you shouldn't get enjoyment or gratification out of doing so. Sparring is allowed, but don't try to kill each other, alright? That reminds me I should tell you about how we feel about sparring...

On Fights and Sparring



Alrighty then, let's get started, shall we?

• If you wanna spar with anyone, then just ask them. They shouldn't mind too much/if at all. If they decline, then don't get angry or complain. There may be something going on that they need to attend to. Don't take it personally.
  
  
• If you wanna spar with Nanao, you have to be thoroughly inspected/interrogated by me, just so I know you won't hurt her too much. But if you are a close friend(usually only Jyuu), then there will be an exception. Just PLEASE, don't tell her anything. PLEASE.
  
  
• If you wanna spar with me, than just ask me. Chances are, I won't be busy, and I'll have time. Don't take it personally if I have no time, though. I'm a Captain and I'm a busy person(sort of).
  
  
• If you want to show off to the pretty ladies/hot guys out there, then get a sparring group and invite others to go watch. Or, wait until we have a Division spar, where we all get to fight everyone in the division, and no one is left out.

Duties


Alright, now you guys are gonna have to know what you have to do in the Eighth Division.

• Train. You have to keep yourself fit, please...it makes us look stupid and lazy if the majority of us don't fight our best.
  
  
• Keep things neat and orderly. Like put the paperwork on the desk, the inkwells in the drawer, the brushes in the cup, the sake in the hidden compartment in my desk- did I just write that? I hope Nanao doesn't look at this...she knows where the hidden compartment in my desk is...
  
  
• Konso. You need to send all wholes to us here in the Soul Society so we have more people for our forces, and to protect them from hollows.
  
  
• Not to piss Nanao off. Really. You don't want to see her turn from the angelic embodiment she is now to a demon from the seventh level of hell. Heed my warning, readers. Heed it.
  

Events



Yes, guys, we do have special events in the Eighth Division. What, you guys thought i was an old, grumpy guy or something? Come on, give me a bit more credit than that, people. But yes, we do have events. Some of these 'events' are:

• A Drinking Party every few weeks/after major accomplishments. I host these parties, and of course, with my large salary, I can pay for them, too. No ditching and making you guys pay for me. I'm not that cheap, hehe. Just make sure Nanao doesn't spoil your fun for you guys. She can be a real downer.
  

Any other events that I plan/help plan will be listed here.

How to Join Us



Alright, guys, in order for you to join the Eighth Division, you must:

• Send a PM to this account, explaining why you think your character will be a useful addition to this division, and also add the link to their profile so I can find out who they are and where they are from. The explanation doesn't have to be long, but it's just so I/we know that your character is dependable.
  
  
• You must get your character to write a 1000 word essay on how they realise that if they try to court Nanao, they will be in so much trouble with yours truly, the Captain. - Nanao has read this and forced me to remove it...
  

Every application PM I get will be discussed with Nanao/her player and both of us will decide wether you are accepted or declined. If either one of us does not have the player, it will be the remainder's sole responisiblity to accept/decline your request.

Do NOT take it personally if we decline your application; we do not choose favourites in applications/nor do we cheat for you and bypass the application step. We are only trying to maintain balance and peace here, both in roleplay and anywhere on the forum. And also, please mind your manners, because if you mouth off/complain to ANYONE in the division or on the forum about us not 'being fair' if your best friend's character is accepted into our Division and yours didn't get accepted, we will NOT give you a second chance to apply for the same character.
