{ The Rank Guide }
IT'S OVER 9000-[/center]
Hello and welcome to our simply fabulous rank guide. Here on C2D, we use a ranking system going from {PL-10} to {PL-1}. The lower the number, the higher the Power Level. (That's what the PL stands for, by the way). However, just saying that wouldn't give you a good image, right?
How big are the jumps between the ranks, exactly? And who from canon would be at what rank? Here's some answers:
{ PL-10 }
The weakest of the bunch reside here. Either completely powerless, like a your every day human, or someone with powers that only consist of being able to see a spirit and not being able to harm them at all belong here. At this rank, you're basically Yamcha. You'll look impressive to the average human if you have any powers... but it stops there.
{Canon Examples: Kurosaki Yuzu, Kurosaki Karin, random Rukongai inhabitants, random humans}
{ PL-9 }
When you graduate from Yamchadom, you end up in this tier. You're now the Raditz, or maybe Krillin of the group. You're as strong as a spiritual being with a low amount of power now, but actual power nonetheless. Hollow of these ranks are generally newborn, while Shinigami are oft in the academy. A Quincy or a Fullbring would be at the level were the finally learn what their powers truly aim to do.
{Canon Examples: Shinigami Academy Students, Random Hollowes, Orihime and Chad when they had just acquired their powers}
{ PL-8 }
Finally, you're worth something now! Your powers aren't really magnificent yet or anything, but you're starting to grasp them. You're starting to get more powerful in every way, you're starting to realise there are new ways to use your abilities. The majority of the spiritual forces of the races falls either here or in {PL-9}, with this being the upper half. Being able to reach this rank is the first sign that you have the potential to grow.
{Canon Examples: New, unseated Shinigami. Hollowes with a taste for others. Hanatarou Yamada}
{ PL-7 }
Now, you have outgrown the majority. You're not a random Shinigami, Fullbringer, Quincy or Hollow anymore. If you were a Shinigami, you probably would have been promoted to a seated position by now. In the case of Hollowes, they have probably evolved to Gillian, or are on the brink of doing so. Quincy and Fullbringers start to make a name for themselves at this rank. Here, you are above the Average Joe/Jane.
{Canon Examples: Low seated Shinigami, Shiba Ganju, Soul Society Arc Orihime, Agent of the Shinigami arc Uryuu}
{ PL-6 }
Oh my god you're turning into a beast. You're not at the level of a lieutenant yet, but chances are, you've snatched a good seat. An average Lieutenant is just out of reached. As a Gillian hollow, you'd start to slowly evolve into an Adjuchas, maybe! You're not quite there... but you're edging closer. Quincy and Fullbring? You're going to stand out. Show off your pwoers a bit, and there's not a chance the leaders won't notice.
{Canon Examples: Third Seats, Soul Society Arc Chad, Ururu}
{ PL-5 }
Sup. You're now on par with an average Lieutenant or a Fraccion close to their Espada. Good job, you should be proud of it, man. You're like Nappa now. Only you're not going to die. Well, maybe if you annoy your leader too much, but that's a different story all together. Hollowes, you should be Adjuchas already! If not, you'd be on the very brink of it. Hell, ome more silly Adjuchas might be on the brink of becoming a Vasto Lorde... or already are one! Shinigami, why aren't you a lieutenant yet? Quincy and Fullbring? You might get your own little clique with that strength. People tend to revolve around power, after all.
{Canon Examples: All Lieutenants Bar Hisagi and Renji, most Fraccion, Soul Society Arc Uryuu.}
{ PL-4 }
Okay, stop it. You're scaring me. Hard to admit, but you're getting pre-tty awesome now. Lieutenants look at you and know their place. Captains see you and finally witness your true power. Not many reach this level. Not many at all. Shinigami here tend to even have Bankai, and if they don't... They can kick your ass anyway. Fullbring and Quincy at this level are quite approaching the level of legend. Arrancar here are known to be personal apprentices to an Espada, and even have the potential to become one should a spot open. This is the rank that seperates 'strong' and 'real men'. And real ladies. And real men that dress like ladies.
{Canon Examples: Hisagi, Renji, Ikkaku, Hueco Mundo Arc Chad, Aaroniero, Komamura, Privaron Espada}
{ PL-3 }
No, seriously, why aren't you stopping? You and your 'improvements' and your 'rank increases', just who do you think you are!? This is the level that an average Captain would hold, as well as an average Espada, or an average sub-leader in both the Quincy and Fullbring factions. And if you don't have one of those spots, I'll be damned if you aren't at least as known as those guys. You're a champion of your faction, and if you're rogue, chances are they'll put quadruple time in finding you, a dangerous person of this level is not to be left alone.
{Canon Examples: Soifon, Szayel, Zommari, Hueco Mundo Arc Uryuu}
{ PL-2 }
Whoa! Like, you're one of the strong Captains and Espada now, or on par with them! Your name tends to send fear to people, especially if it might get them in trouble. Your reputation is boundless. If you don't have a high ranking position... Why not? You're powerful enough, at the very least!
{Canon Examples: Kenpachi, Byakuya, Grimmjow, Nnoitra, Harribel}
{ PL-1 }
...:( Okay. There's almost no matching you anymore. For whatever faction you stand in, you're their secret weapons, or not-so-secret weapons. Generally, their leader. This is the roof of power you may reach, if you can even reach it... which is extremely doubtful. One may call you... a physical God that cannot be rivalled.
{Canon Examples: Starrk, Ulquiorra, Barragan, Ukitake, Shunsui, Unohana}
And that, what they say, is that. You are now educated on all ranks on our dearest RP site, and what they represent. If there's any questions you hold, ask them and we will be happy to clarify, but now... This young guide en-
{ PL-0 }
Who said the ranks went from 10 to 1!? BWAHAHAHA, the strongest isn't 1... It's zero! You are now beyond the beyond, an existance deemed impossible... Ergo, reaching this rank is exactly the same: Just about impossible. If you want this rank, be prepared to bust your balls to reach it. This is only reserved by that few people, after all. Endless training threads you may make, but it won't help you reach this rank!
{Canon Examples: Shinigami Aizen, Kurosaki Isshin}
