Shinigami- The spiritual beings that reap the souls of the living to help facilitate their passing. They are ordinary souls that have above average spiritual energy and are trained formally in the Seireitei. They are given a standard katana that they will learn to use until they are able to form their own sword, their zanpakuto.

Hollow- the soul of a mortal who cannot pass peacefully, mainly because of a deep negative emotion that attaches them to a place or person. Over time, this negative emotion defines them and they'll lose their 'heart'. This process is called hollowfication and the soul will lose all semblance of it's former self. The common traits in a hollow are: A hole in the chest to show a lack of heart, A mask to protect their true identity, a painful and insatiable hunger for souls, and an inhuman body.

Quincy- A lineage and group of clans from the mortal realm who have harnessed their natural spiritual energy into ranged combat to deal with both shinigami and hollow. They have a focuser (usually in the shape of a cross) and the biggest clans are germanic in origin, however the techniques have since been wide spread to most parts of the world.

Fullbringer- People who had one or both parents survive a hollow attack, leaving a spiritual imprint on the yet-to-be-born human. These can manifest in wildly different ways and in various stages of life. These are the most resent of the 'races' and they are not a collective, often being mistrusted by others as well as each other.

Shinigami weapon: Zanpakuto- This is a manifestation of the shinigami's powers and takes the form of a sentient spirit apart from them. The physical look of the unreleased sword can vary between grips,pommels, colors and tsuba but they don't change from the katana shape. The swords are capable of shikai and bankai, though bankai won't be til later.

Shikai- The first release of the sword, this changes their shape drastically and their unique properties are shown. Shikai can be used by most of the shinigami in the five main squads, various levels of mastery change just how much one can do.

Bankai-tbd

Character Development- The zanpakuto is different from the shinigami in almost every case. This is a great show of skill on the players and offers deep character development. When a character shows progression and good story, they will get better and be closer with their zanpakuto, making them more efficient.

-------------------------------------------
Hollow Weapon: Variable.

Depending on the type of hollow one comes back as, they can use their fists and bodies to attack, or natural weapons such as claws or fangs. For fairness sake, a Hollow cannot arbitrarily block attacks with their bare form, but the Hollow's hands to the wrist can effectively 'block' a blade.

Unlike shinigami, the hollow doesn't have a weapon that progresses, but they change fundementally. The hollow is the weapon and they reach stages of evolution that give them more options!

Character development: A Hollow has to put up with an extreme negative emotion (chosen on creation) and has to fight never ending hunger for souls.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Quincy weapon: Energy Projectiles

Usually the quincy use bows, but anything that launches energy bolts or attacks in a projectile manner wouldn't be unheard of. The focuser and the energy color is dependent on the user, though they are usually taught their tactics in a group as opposed to unique attacks.

Character Development: The harnessing of the energy as well as the method of attack is up to the player and tells a lot about them, a charm or focuser is also something deeply personal!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fullbringer weapon- Variable.

Fullbringers are tainted with Hollow influence and therefore have unique abilities unto themselves and have some object that's deeply personal to them as a means of realizing their powers!

Character development: This is the broadest category and relies heavily on character development!
