Handbook of the Tenth

[Toshiro Hitsugaya]

^{'Let squad ten deal with this.'}

This handbook shall be the thing you should follow for the rest of your time within the 10th division. Here you will find information regarding rules, ranks, members, what is expected and what is not permitted. You don't have to memorize everything here, but, you should have basic info about it in your mind somewhere

                 _{~to start off with}

[/size]

[li]To start off, don't call the captain short. Or a kid. Or anything related. Evar. It won't end well for you.
[/li][li]Be respectful to your superiors. Address the captain as Captain Hitsugaya. Address the lieutenant as Lieutenant Matsumoto. Address anyone seated above you by their seat number and last name. Though, they may call you by your first name if they wish. This is not to put you down. It's common practice among those who rank above you.
[/li][li]Follow any rules you are given well. Try your best not to break any, though there are times when the most minor and simplest of rules are broken. While in this case you'll just be told not to do it again, in the future know better. We don't want to keep warning you about petty things. If you follow the rules, it looks good on you.
[/li][li]Since you are a member of the 10th division, try and be a representative. Whenever you go somewhere else, be sure to behave accordingly and not cause trouble. It looks good on you and on your squad. Doing the opposite will look bad on you and bad on your squad. Whenever you venture into another squad's headquarters, be sure to respect their rules as well. They may nt be your division, but you are all members of the Court Guard Squads as a whole. Keep that in mind.
[/li][li]Respect your fellow division members as well. As the old saying goes: treat others how you want to be treated. This will help you and other people. It will also prevent future problems from occuring. If you are close-knit with your fellow squad members, it means you can work with just about anybody from the squad and have no problems. In other words being respectful to others will help you with inter-squad relations. Team work is a big part of this squad.

• If you have any severe problems with a squad member, report them to either the lieutenant or captain. They will help you sort things out in which ever way seems necessary. They should be severe problems that could possible lead to violence. Why? Because anything less you can solve on your on by not dealing with them, simple.

[/li][li]Make sure you complete your work wen it's due. DON'T or at least try not to be Rangiku. Do not slack or leave your work to pile up, because in the end you're going to have to do it anyway. Late work will get you penalized. There shouldn't be any excuses as to why you didn't, and if there is, then you must state so as to why. And it better be a very good reason. You can't just pass up work. There are always consequences to doing that.[/li][/ul]

                 _{~how to climb the ladder}[/size]

[li]To join this division, please send your original character's profile to THIS account via. From there, your submission will either be accepted or denied. EVERYONE starts off as an unseated officer. From there, you work your way up to a seated position, starting from the 20th and ending at the 3d. The third seat is the highest you can get without becoming either lieutenant or captain (both of those filled duh).
[/li][li]How do you get a seat, may you ask? Well, it is really freaking simple. Work hard. If you manage to be an active member and prove you are worthy of a seat, you will gain promotion. While it is possible to skips seat ranks while climbing up that ladder, it is rare, unless you show that you are really that good. Do not plead or ask for a rank, but chances are your chances will be tarnished and burned. No one wants to hear whining. Really.
[/li][li]If anything, it is wise to try and appeal to your superiors. This will help you when you are seeking for a higher rank and such. While you may not make friends with the captain, (but you will most likely make friends with the lieutenant) they certainly do have the capacity to respect other people. If word gets out that you are a very capable, respectable individual, then the closer you are to getting a rank. This may not be true every time, but it's a way to get closer to your goal.

                 _{~to kill or not to kill}[/size]

[li]Squad 10 is a consent divison. This means that you must get permission from the other player and the captain via PM to kill off another character. If both people have approved it, then you may continue doing so. We do not want anyone killing each other mindlessly and senselessly, even if there is a reason, which is the reason for this sqaud being a consent one. It is looked down pon to kill your own division members. The same goes for anyone who enters these headquarters. They too, must abide by the consent rule.
[/li][li]Though, if a member of squad 10 walks into a division headquarters in which there is no consent, then the member of squad 10 falls under their no-consent rule. Though, it is looked down upon to kill someone of the 13 Cour Guard Squads unless they were ordered to, so we suggest you don't take advantage of it. You may if you want, but you must abide by that divison's rules.[/li][/ul]

                 _{~a job to be done}[/size]

[li]While are no "special" duties the 10th divsion must take care of, there are the basics that all Soul Reapers must complete as such. At a single time, members shall be sent to the World of the Living to perform these duties, which are the following :
[/li][li]Excosizing Hollows. This a major one. Hollows are lost souls that died with regrets and are now roaming around harming the innocent living and harming the innocent dead. In order to slay a hollow, ou must break its mask. That in turn shall either send the hollow to Hell or to the Soul Society. There is a difference between "killing" it and purifing it.

• Do whatever you must to cleanse it. It may actually come to a point where you must actually cut off a limb or two in order to be able to reach its mask and break it. Just try not to actually kill it. That is not what we are aiming for, though we support trying every way to cleanes it.

[/li][li]Performing Konso. Also an important duty. Konso is when you send a whole (normal roaming soul) to the Soul Society to lead a better life. In order to do this, you must tap the soul's head with the bottom of the hilt of your zanpakuto. This will create a stamp on their head, and they are sent there.

疑惑
^{'I already told you.'}

This page discusses imprtant topics that are often questioned about. Hopefully this should clear things up about certain topics. This also discusses extra topics that are also rather important to know, but not as important as some others.

                 _{~syching up}

[/size]

[li]While this headquarters lacks training grounds, there shall be times when it is required. Often, use of the 13th division training grounds is needed. With granted permission, squad members may bring along others from different divisions to help with training. This is supported, as this may help with an individual personally if not for the entire squad. Wherever the divsion goes to train, the areas are kept in good shape. so therefore, do not go around burning everything down. It is highly doubted the captain or lieutenant want to clean up and repair YOUR damages. Actually, YOU will be sent to do it.
[/li][li]While sparring, use of shikai is permitted, as long as it is not used to it's fullest extent. This will prevent severe injuries as well as property damages. It is looked up to that you did release your zanpakuto while training, only because by training in a released form, it will help you with your combat skills. Just don't try and kill each other. Dead bodies is another thing no one wants to really touch.
[/li][li]Dates of training are announced at random, and are on a weekly or monthly basis. Weeks and months may pass before another training session occurs, but that is because of plot related things. The captain wants his division to be able to hold off on their own and therefore shall have sessions to train as often as he can. That and he doesn't want his squad to be unprepared for when the time comes to be drawn into battle.[/li][/ul]

                 _{~you're in for it now}[/size]

[li]Penalties and punishments vary according to the severity of the offender's actions. They may vary from scolding to imprisonment, and the worst case senerio, death. Your goal as a member of the 13 Court Guard Sqauds is to avoid any penalization. It looks really mad on your reputation and people's views about you.
[/li][li]The lest severe punishment is a scolding. If you need it, then it will be granted to you by a superior 3d seat and up. Hopefully, by then, you would have learned your lesson. The only time this is done is if the offender as broken a minor rule, or has done minor offense, such as handing work in late or acting inappropriate against what is expected of a mature individual. Scoldings are delivered sharply and to the point. It's annoying when you go on and on about something with the nicest of tones. The message doesn't get across.
[/li][li]Getting a bit more harsh here. Break a more important rule and you shall be placed under house arrest or confined to your barracks. This occurs when the offender has broken an important rule within the squad or has acted obscenely outside of the squad, be it around the Soul Society or in the World of the Living. You are not to leave where you are confined for anything. Your needs will still be met, but they will be brought to you by an unseated officer of the squad. The 3d seat and up overseas these punishments.
[/li][li]Where you shouldn't be. Arrest and imprisonment occurs when you break a very important rule within the division or one of the lesser laws of the Soul Society. Arrest is done by seated officers, and during severe cases, the captain himself. You will be thrown in prison to await your final punishment, depending on your offense. The captain and lieutenant handle who needs to be arrested ornot.
[/li][li]Not a nice situation. You will have your rank and seat stripp from you permenantly and thrown in prison to await trial. Severe offenses include breaking a very important rule within the squad, as well as breaking rules of other divisions and important laws of the Soul Society. Once you have lost your rank, you can neve get it back. The only way you can do this is if you go up through all the seats to return to what you originally were. Though respect and trust have been lost. The captain ovsees these kind of punishments, along with the lieutenant advising if possible.
[/li][li]The final frontier. Execution is extremely rare. This ONLY occurs when all or very important rules of this division, and/or rules of another squads, and very important laws of the Soul Society, along with injustly killing more than one member of the 13 Court Guard Squads. Depending on the severity, you will be thrown in prison and await trial. Depending on the outcome of that, you will either die or live, though if the latter happens, you are stripped of your rank and kicked out of the squad. The captin deals with rulings, Central 46 deals with the trial, and the Captain-Commander deals with the execution.
[/li][li]As much as the leaders of the squad do not want to hand out punishments, they must if they need to. You can do your part by NOT getting in trouble.[/li][/ul]
