So, though I don't have a plethora of spare time, I happen to be a rather huge nerdy anime fan, and I've been thinking about starting an online RP based on Tite Kubo's Bleach. Eventually I'll make up my mind whether or not to actually do so...but if I did, would anyone here be interested? I'm thinking that it will cross from the Sereitei to the Real World in a few select places and finally to Hueco Mundo and players will be able to play Soul Reapers (Shinigami), special Spiritually Attuned Humans (such as Quincy or people like Inoue, Sado, and Ishida from the manga and anime, and of course, Hollows or Arrancar. My main mental concern right now is that if I did start one, would it be, like, copyright infringement or something? I've seen plenty of RPs based on other story canons, so I suppose not...but it worries me a little. I would have occasional NPCs play the various Captains and Lieutenants of the 13 Protection Squads...but if anyone has any advice or input, please let me know! I've seen every episode of Bleach that I believe has been released to date...I love the show and many of its concepts, and I think RP in that storyline could be extremely epic. Also, it would be my first time trying to start up and run an online RP, and it's my first solid idea on doing such...so be nice, please

I think this is an awesome idea! I love Bleach too (I need to really catch up though), and would definitely consider joining. In regards to copy right infringement, it would only be so if you A. Do not mention somewhere what the roleplay is based off of, therefore making it clear you are not taking credit for every detail of the plot/roleplay. B. You make money off of it. I think you don't have either problem as you're not saying "I CREATED BLEACH!". Even if you were, people would know it's a lie and either wouldn't join, or wouldn't care because you aren't making money off of it and it's not large enough (yet) to be much of a concern. But I trust you won't be that silly. ^.^ |

I'm pretty sure Liser is right, as long as you put a Disclaimer on the site somewhere stating that you do not own Bleach and that you are not making any money off the RP then you should be good. I think it's a pretty fantastic idea, i'm not a huge Bleach fan myself but i can appreciate the scale of how fun and creative a Bleach RP could be. |
