Shinigami, also known as death gods or soul reapers are departed human souls that have gained supernatural powers. As such, their bodies are composed of reishi and they can only be seen by other spiritually aware entities, which excludes most humans. Soul Reapers, as well as most other types of spirits, are quite capable of influencing their environment. Additionally, they can be injured and die like regular humans, though it takes considerably greater injuries for the latter to occur than it would in regular humans.
The most prominent power possessed by a Soul Reaper is their zanpakuto, a sword generated from the Soul Reaper's soul. Soul Reapers also naturally give off spiritual energy, which varies greatly in magnitude with the strength of a Soul Reaper. A zanpakuto is a physical manifestation of this force concentrated into a blade.
Soul Reaper operations are based out of Soul Society. Travel between the human world and Soul Society is extremely limited and monitored, but some Soul Reapers are stationed in the human world to carry out their duties and therefore must often travel between the two. In addition, it is a crime for a Soul Reaper to remain in the human world longer than a certain time limit. A Soul Reaper's duties include leading Pluses to Soul Society in a practice called soul burial, and the cleansing of hollows.

((NOTE! division listed as undefined means that their purpose was not disclosed in the anime or manga to our knowledge, for these divisions the first captain of that division will define what course the division takes and based on their description on the job of that division the mod team will assign a perk))
Skills:
Shikai: Once the shikai is activated, the zanpakuto will change form to access whatever special abilities it is capable of. They usually remain in the form of a sword, but the type of sword differs radically among various zanpakuto. The special abilities of the zanpakuto, like the zanpakutō itself, have specific names that usually must be announced to fully activate the effect. As Ichigo's zanpakuto, Zangetsu, explains, knowing the name of an attack and not knowing it makes a difference in the amount of power that attack has. Shikai gives a boost of 50 to all stats. must have 250 attack to achieve shikai. (shinigami, human shinigami, and vaizard tier characters only)
Bankai:final and most powerful form. Unlike the shikai, there is no command phrase to activate bankai, though the user will usually say "bankai" beforehand. A zanpakuto's bankai is often a manifestation of the spirit itself, usually creating a massive creature or effect to aid the user in battle (Ichigo's bankai is an exception, becoming more compact instead). The bankai itself will extend the name of the zanpakuto (Ichigo's Zangetsu becomes Tensa Zangetsu, Byakuya's Senbonzakura becomes Senbonzakura Kageyoshi), or sometimes change it altogether (Tōsen's Suzumushi becomes Enma Kōrogi). Certain Soul Reapers also change with their zanpakutō, gaining clothing similar to what their spirit form looks like. Most zanpakuto will also gain additional special abilities. Like with the shikai, most of these abilities have an associated name or trigger command. Bankai boosts all the users stats by 100 and requires 350 attack. (shinigami, human shinigami, and vaizard tier characters only)
Kidou: Demon magic utilized by shinigami. User must meet the requirements in the demon magic thread under newbie corner, all demon magic is auto gain unless its custom them it must be trained using one normal training roll out of your 5 weekly training rolls. Kidou can only be used by shinigami tier characters and vaizard. Alternately, Human shinigami cannot use Kidou and broken vaizard lose acces to any kidou they had before being taken over by their hollow side.
Shunpo: the Shinigami equivalent of the arrancar sonido and the Quincy hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of Shunpo is punctuated by a swish sound, in contrast to the "static crackle" sound heard for sonido. Shunpo goes the farther than its quincy counter part moving the user as far as 15 yards with each step, and giving them an exstended 1 yard per 10 speed over the requirements so at 350 speed shunpo goes 25 yards and so forth. must have 250 or higher speed and be a shinigami type (human shinigami, shinigami any tier, Vaizard)
Shunko: Combining hand to hand and Kido this technique allows the user to concentrate high amount of energy in their body and blast it at opponents. The back and sleeves of shinigami garbs get shredded to bits when reiatsu pressure from this technique builds up on the user’s back and shoulders. this technique can be used for rp purposes during events and missions against npcs but is concidered a kill attempt when used versus a player. Requires that the character be a hand to hand type (mods will decide if you are or not) you must also have atleast 350 strength and 350 reiatsu. (shinigami tier only and vaizard. Cannot be used by human shinigami)
Utsusemi: similiar to the Zazoken skill humans gain this skill allows a person to move out of harms way by creating another image of themselves. Yoruichi used a similar technique in her short battle with Byakuya, creating an image of her which was sliced by Byakuya, but appearing a split second later unharmed. (can only be used to dodge auto hit attacks.) requires 500 speed only available to shinigami tier characters and vaizard.
