But outside the land of the Naruto RPG, I’ve been doing a few things in Bleach. Most notably are the addition of two new characters to my roster: Yokoto Setsuna and Rundi. Setsuna is at E-Rank, the lowest possible, and I plan to slowly work her up to skills. Starting from Shinou Academy, she’s in the Onmitsukidou program (or Ninjagami, as I like to call them when I don’t think I can spell it). Rundi, whose surname I’m still deciding, is the Sexta (6th) Espada. I’m still working on him, which is why Kuro and I are practicing together in the Bleach Waiting Area.

Last night, I sat down and worked on a sketch for Rundi, thinking having a clear image might help me think of him and his characteristics. After spending a lot of time trying to draw in Kubo’s style and me messing it up with the final features, I got frustrated and began to draw randomly, luckily creating this image you see. It may not be the neatest or cleanest, but I like it.

Elsewhere in Bleach, Kurai got in a little scuffle with Kidou Corps chief Neriki. It didn’t last very long, but it was quite the short show. After Kurai finally passed, he checked out Karakura, only to find that any event there that he had sensed was already over. He was too late, due to the shinigami delay. So, he returned to the Kamenjin base, finding someone new inside.

In other news, the current badge battle is a Pinky Battle Royal! Not to mention, it’s being run by Dorian. I guess you can call it his first act of pinkness.

Meanwhile on TN, I’ve made some posts in the Battledome. First, I started taking part in the Konan vs Neji thread. With a few of the BD regulars against Neji, I think it might put some activity in if I play on the other side. Plus, I got some cool ideas on what he could do.

The other thread I took part in was one I had made: Kakashi vs. Kirin. Now, before someone thinks of the jutsu, it’s not. I’m talking about Kirin from 666 Satan (or O-Parts Hunter by Viz) by Kishimoto Seishi.

And that’s basically all I have to report for now. You’ll hear more from me one the wedding starts off. But Shoda and Shigeko have already left INS, so it’s going to get good soon.
