Seeing as I'm a big, big fan of continuity and character relationships that may not have been realized to their full potential, I'd like to start something that I'm calling the Bleach Gotei Continuity Project, a (hopefully combined) initiative to sort out which characters would realistically speaking be familiar with, or aware of, or potentially even good friends with one another.
It's no secret that I'm mostly a Shinigami-centric player, and as such most of what I know comes down to Shinigami (and by extension, Vaizard) "history"—who's who and who's done what from a certain period in time is what I'm most familiar with.
That's where you come in!
There are plenty of gaps to fill, plenty of information that needs to be processed. I'm not looking for exactness, I'm looking for approximate times, locations and ranks of characters.
I'd like establish some sort of timeline if at all possible, using the invasion of Hueco Mundo as the point of origin, or "year 0".
Here's Kyousuke's:
(Relative time) Age - Event
(−95) 00 - Born, Osaka
(−77) 18 - Attends university
(−75) 20 - Enlists in Navy, attends Imperial Japanese Naval Academy
(−72) 23 - Graduates from above
(−70) 25 - Assigned to the Soryu, killed at Midway, wakes up in Eighth District of Rukongai
(−65) 30 - Enters Shinigami Academy
(−63) 32 - Zanpakutō manifests, graduates from above, assigned to Second Division
(−51) 44 - Attains Shikai, promotion to Fifth Seat
(−30) 65 - Transfer to 4th Division, Fifth Seat
(−17) 78 - Promotion to Third Seat
(−09) 86 - Promotion to Lieutenant
(−08) 87 - Obtains his faux-Hollow mask, learns to manipulate portals with his Zanpakutō, first seeds of inner Hollow planted
(−05) 90 - Feigns death, defects from the Gotei 6, arrives in Hueco Mundo, meets Tova Diabló, attains Bankai
(−04) 91 - Hollowification at the hands of Tova Diabló, becomes the first Vaizard, meets Kasumi Suzumei and encourages her to defect
(−03) 92 - Begins dimensional travels
(−02) 93 - Returns from dimensional travels, having been gone nine months objective time and one week subjective time, briefly reunited with Kasumi Suzumei
(−01) 94 - Apprehended by the Second Division, interrogated, incarcerated in the Maggot's Nest
(Present Day) 95 - Released from the Maggot's Nest, appointed captain of the Second Division under Gilgamesh's rule, appoints Kiriko Chinda as lieutenant of same, Invasion of Hueco Mundo occurs
Significant Character relationships, roleplayed:
Tova Diabló; closest friend, "cousin"
Kasumi Suzumei; former divisionmate, younger sister of sorts
Mitsutaka Karahashi; former subordinate divisionmate, now commander and younger brother of sorts
Gilgamesh; king
Kiriko Chinda; capable lieutenant, protégé
Lessa Kachekiwa; younger sister of sorts
Ayumi Takasugi; subordinate
Shushana Senganza; object of considerable sexual tension
Transient Character relationships, roleplayed:
Jasper Aizawa; prisoner
Cho Ah Amai; successor
Akiyo Yasutake; subordinate
Pureza Blanca; victim
Arianna de Luca; savior
Salzabor Vasquez; victim
Character relationships, implied:
Zozo Hurley, former captain
Satine Purpureo; former lieutenant, later captain, object of desire
Aros Ryokai; former captain
Xyliver Iruna; former captain
Riko Suzumei; acquaintance
Hikari Miyazaki; acquaintance
As always, I'd like to ask that anyone that may have come into contact with Kyousuke during his time in Second (~63-30 years ago), his time in Fourth (~30-5 years ago) or anyone who may have been a lieutenant or captain during his time as a lieutenant (~9-5 years ago) inform me of this so I can add you to the implied character relationship list.
Ballpark figures (feel free to provide input):
Zozo Hurley's disappearance and Satine Purpureo's ascension to captain of Second Division at approximately 33 years before the invasion of Hueco Mundo.
Captains Satine Purpureo (of Second), Aros Ryokai (of Fourth), and Artix von Creg (of Fifth) disappear from Seireitei approximately 9-10 years before the invasion of Hueco Mundo.
Xyliver Iruna is promoted to captain of Fourth Division at the same time as Kyousuke Tsukimiya is promoted to lieutenant of same, approximately 9 years before the invasion of Hueco Mundo.
