■Uniforms■ ■Uniforms■

'''Alright, so that we can easily distinguish a Shinigami from an Arrancar we have decided to place a dress code for the sim. Don't worry there wont be a specific uniform you will have to buy. We're not that mean. But there will be specific colors you will have to wear so that it is easy for everyone to know what role you are playing. Below are the specifics for each group.'''

'''- Shinigami: ➀ Non-seated Shinigami - The Shinigami were found wearing mostly black shihakusho with a white sash. So we ask that your outfit consist of mostly black though it does not have to be completely black. (Just do not wear a white haori as if you were a captain. Some consider it disrespectful for non captains to be wearing captains haori)'''

'''➁ Seated Shinigami & Captains - Seated Shinigami and captains can differ up their outfits a little. Though the seated shinigami, like lieutenants, also wore mostly black you can change up some part of your outfits. Captains will usually have a bit of white on them because of their haori though again still mostly black so that it can be seen.'''

Note: Captains Must wear a full Haori

'''- Arrancar: ➊ All Arrancar must wear something white. It does not have to be plain white but it must be visible that you wear white. In the Anime/Manga, arrancar's outfits were not all alike. The only thing they had in common was that their outfits were predominantly white and a bit of black

➋ While the Arrancar uniform is mostly white you will also get to use different kinds of clothing for your Released form. An arrancar's appearence changes once they call the name of their sword, so you will have a bit of free room to make an outfit for your release. No it does not have to be all white.'''

'''- Quincy: ➀ Not a lot is shown about the Quincy except for what Ishida had worn. So for this we ask that you mimic his clothing of white and a light blue mixture.

➁ While on earth you may wear normal clothing.'''

'''- Vizard & Bount: ➊ Vizard and Bount basically has free range with clothing. They live on earth for the most part and try to blend in so they are not required to wear a uniform as Shinigami and Arrancar do.'''

'''- Fullbrings, Ie. Humans ➀ A Fullbring has free range with clothing as well.

- Gigai ➊ If you are a race that uses a gigai, your gigai should try to blend in with humans, therefore normal clothes are allowed then. But you should note somehow that you are in a gigai.

We ask that you do not imitate the clothing of another race/rank without valid RP reason.'''
