I think that we need to make a short list of the the Gotei 13 specialties and task so that members (old and new) can be aware of what their Divisions do. Some are straight forward while others are not so much. Bear with me I don't recall all the names perfectly.

1st Division: Central Command
2nd Division: Stealth Ops
3rd Division:
4th Division: Medical
5th Division: Kido Corps
6th Division:
7th Division: Guardian Corps
8th Division: Reinforcement Corps
9th Division:
10th Division: Overseers of The Shinigami Academy
11th Division: Combat Division
12th Division: Shinigami Research and Development Institute
13th Division: Security Division


I remember there is a division for:
Gotei 13 Security. (Possibly 9th or 6th)
Earth First Response.

But thats all that comes to mind right now.

It would be a lot easier if we did have the old InK wiki up for this, I'll agree, but I do not know if it is recoverable/if money is required to do so. I also don't know if anyone knows of anyone from the old site who might have all the information backed up somewhere or are even still in contact with them if they did. (As a sidenote is people do have ways to contact oldies, send them a message to rejoin if it's convenient, I miss them)

As for the Division's special duties I do remember, in our universe at least, that the Thirteenth Division was the Security Division guarding Seireitei as well as Rukongai and made sweeps of Dangai as it is the division I'm in. Although I'm not sure who's division was Okimuchi City's "jurisdiction" as it was assigned to a division. There was a division that looked over Dangai other than mine, it was more their job to monitor and us to assist, but I don't remember which.

I do not remember if everything was the same as canon in regard to the division special duties. I know we kept some (like 1st obviously, 2nd, 4th 11th and 12th) the same, but I'm not sure if all were that way.

Optimistically if we had the wiki back or it's info, that would be amazing, but if we don't i'm sure we'll figure out all the ins and outs of stuff like we did before.

I updated the Thirteenth Division with what you said. It would be excellent if we could have the Wiki back, would be amazing. I think I may have Tarka's information somewhere so I can always inquire at some time.

As for this list, the Majority of what I wrote is for our AU. These are about 99.99% correct if memory is right. As to the task for each departments, on the Wiki it showed each divisions main tasks and all sub tasks. Sigh I do miss that Wiki page.

Excellent. Also, I do believe I remember that one of the divisions had the special duties of monitoring hollow activity and gleaning information on their activity in Hueco Mundo, occasionally sending forces there (I was taken along as assistance in a mission like this). I wish I could remember the duties of the last Division and which was which, but this is all I've got for now, so I hope someone remembers what I'm talking about..

We had somewhere around 600 people listed on that wiki, I miss everyone.. it was a good source for backstory interactions with known players. That and it helped having the Zanpakutos, Ressureccions, etc on there, it made it easy to search and easy for people looking for similar abilities/ideas on their own ability submissions. I hope we can get even a little bit of that information even for reference if people don't end up coming back.

I have bad news in that regard.

The old wiki was part of the server of the old forum, so when it went down, the wiki went down with it.

My first intention, when i created this forum, was to set up a new wiki, using a back up from the old one. However, the free wiki providers did not have a straightforward way to upload a full wiki into them, hence why I created the rules and other stuff here in the forum.

The bad news is that, that was while i had my old laptop, which literally died last year. All the hardware was lost, and with it the back up as well. At that point the wiki was no longer available and a new backup was no longer possible.

If any of you has experience with wikia, go to this forum's Wiki and help out, as I no longer have the free time to work on it.

That is some dreadful news.. and unfortunately I am not very familiar with wikia, so i don't know if I'll be working on it, however I'm sure what information we do glean or remember we can put to use on the site here at the very least.

I do believe someone else of the oldies may have some information of their own from the old site, we could try reaching out to those we can contact and seeing what they may or may not have, or if they could contact anyone they might still have contact with for information. And also, while we're doing that, we could offer invitations back, I would love to see some old friends returning and maybe seeing new ones they bring with them! It's always a lot more fun to have a bigger selection of people to RP with.

If anyone can find, ask, or look around for info/people to bring back to InK, i'm sure that would be great help and a benefit to the site!

I transferred everything with the exception of character information from the old site, into this one. All the information there was on the wiki about rules, plot, and locations are in this forum somewhere.

So with a little effort you can search them out. I mean, its not like i did that much of a awful job at organizing the rule section :P

Alright, since we have a sort of sense of what the other Special duties of the Gotei 13 are supposed to be, I think we should give some thought into which ones go to whom. Or at the very least we could start assigning duties to the ones that don't have duties spelled out for them or adding ones to others(if need be).

On the site, there also used to be the general background of each division on their page, a list of their members (especially their seated members/captain) as well as their "Motto" and Division flower that served as their symbol(and limiter mark) and tied into their motto in some way (EG: Alstroemeria symbolizes devotion/bond of friends making the division one that is devoted to their cause and known for one to protect their friends [Don't remember if this was actually one of ours, I can't remember them offhand]). I think it would be good if we could make/remember them to make the pages for the Divisions a bit more descriptive/detailed again. It would also help newcomers that are unfamiliar with our site, universe and group choices be able to choose a division they like.

i don't think we did have a division specific thread like that, we did and still have a thread for all the present and former captains, in the character application section shinigami subforum

but yeah, i guess we could 'steal' that kind of information about the divisions from the Bleach wiki :P

I'd be willing to remake that information if we decide to just start those from scratch, as I don't know who might still have that information. I won't be able to make the list of people in each division as accurate as we did before just yet though as we have missing and dead captains and unknown seats filled/empty and no one has been promoted to anything yet, thus it's kind of in flux.

The making of the Flowers and Motto would be definitely very easy as it's easier to create personal symbols and phrases based off the duties of each division, but we'd still need to assign all the special duties first, especially to those we don't have anything for as of right now. Once we get that all in order and feel strongly about it, it would be no trouble at all to come up with designs and the sayings.

I'd rather not just steal the information from the canon Wiki as we're definitely not canon and it's a lot more fun to have a variance from the straightforward themes/information of the Bleach wiki. That, and a lot of our information, plot and setting are different from Bleach canon.
