The Divisions
It should be known that the Gotei 13 are operating at about 1/4 of their former strength and effecitveness. Much of the
Seireitei is still being rebuilt and many of the former Divisons are running with a skeletal crew, at best. Help is needed across the board, as well as leadership positions needing to be filled.
Any vacant seats are up for grabs by players.
1st Division, Command
This division is the head of Gotei 13 and the ones responsible for relaying Central 46 orders, dealing with Soul Society law and monitoring the other divisions. The Captain of the 1st Division is also the head of all other captains and the leader of Gotei 13, given the rank of Captain-Commander. Likewise, the 1st Division vice-captain is leader of the vice-captains and has authority over all Vice-Captains, next to their own Captains and the Captain-Comander. This division has the least number of Shinigami.
Captain: Matsumoto Kajin (P-3 Tier NPC)
Captain Commander Matsumoto is known as the "Old Bear." He is a giant of a man with a well square jaw, blue eyes, white hair and a gray, well-groomed beard. His arms are like tree trunks and he is extremely muscular despite his aged appearance. He is a stern man, a warrior through and through, and is often impatient with insubordinate Shinigami. He
walks with pride and his presence is often feared, even by fellow Captains. His Shikai is called Saisekiki (lit. Stone Breaker) and turns his Zapakuto into a massive warhammer with a spiked pick on opposite end and is said to be able to move entire mountains, although he seldom needs to draw it in battle. His Bankai hasn't been seen in a thousand years.
Vice-Captain: Tsunoda Suki (E-3 Tier NPC)
Vice-Captain Tsunoda is said to balance the Old Bear with her kindness and intellect. She his a short woman, with long brown hair that is typically kept in a bun. She wears glasses and has a lithe frame. She is supposedly an absolute genius and a master of the Kido arts. The Old Bear once saved her life from a Hollow and since then she has served
him loyally, never leaving his side as she could easily be the Captain of the 5th division. Her Shikai has been seen by few and is largely unknown, and it is not known whether she has ever reached Bankai.
2nd Division, Special Forces / Assassination & Undercover Operations
The Captain of the 2nd Division is also leader of the Special Forces; one of Soul Society’s two other military factions. Members of the 2nd Division are mainly dealing with stealth and assassination, and many of them are also members of the Special Forces as well. They also handle all undercover operations regarding Seireitei security. Special Forces applicants take additional two-year training after Shinigami Academy.

3rd Division, Intelligence & Information
The 3rd Division is the unit that are responsible of the act of sending out Shinigami to gather information, and sometimes work in cooperation with 2nd Division agents on more serious missions.

Adding to this, they are in charge of the jigokuchou monitoring and message system.
Captain: Yamahata Nomi (E-3 Tier NPC)
Captain Yamahata is a woman with fierce red hair that falls down to her lower back. She has a slender body and often times carries a warm smile.

She spends most of her free time teaching classes in the Acadamey. Her Shikai Kaze o Tsutsumu (lit. Enveloping Wind) turns her sword into a compact tunnel of wind. When she points it at her enemies the wind flies forth and batters them into submission. Her Bankai causes her to be envloped in a wind funnel where she can better direct her powers. The wind also serves to protect her from harm, making it difficult to get in and attack her with the high speed gales.
Vice-Captain: Vacant Seat
4th Division, Medical Assistance & Supply
The 4th Division deals with the brunt of the healing when it comes to Shinigami or other spiritual entities. While the Shinigami in this division use medicines for their healing, they do have the ability to use their energies for curative purposes, something unique to those that are in or have been in the 4th Division, because the average Shinigami can only use their power for combat. This unit is assigned many of the menial tasks in the Soul Society, such as cleaning the subterranean canals located under the Seireitei. Additionally, this particular division is considered the lowest in the Gotei 13 hierarchy, albeit the fact that they heal almost all the injured in the Soul Society. 4th Division members are taken from the Shinigami Academy at their third year, after proving they have exceptional, non-violent reiatsu, and then takes an additional study of four years to become medics.

Captain: Kogo Shigeki (E-2 Tier NPC)
Captain Kogo is an elusive man. His apperance is quite ordinary and he often seems anti-social, cold, and calculating. He has short black hair and a thin mustache and goatee. He is short and physically he seems weak, although some have spoken rumor of his great strength. He spends most of his time in isolation, in his studies, but has led to some important discoveries and improvements for the Gotei 13. One thing he is known for is being late to Captain meetings and skipping drills. The Old Bear is often frustrated with him and scolds him pubically, but has not removed him from his position due to the usefulness of his discoveries. His Shikai and Bankai are unknown to most, and oddly enough, he seldom carries his Zanpakuto. Some say he has a bad relationship with his Zanpakuto spirit.
Vice-Captain: Ieyoshi Torazo (E-1 Tier NPC)
Vice-Captain Ieyoshi is known affectionately as the "Blood Hound," for his uncanny ability to find what he is looking for. He is over six feet tall, has broad shoulders, and a body covered in lean muscle. His hair is often shaved and he sports a long beard which is braided. He loves to share jokes that he discovers from the World of the Living, especially dirty jokes, and can be loud and boisterous, often times earning him scolding glances from Captain Kogo. Ieyoshi's Shikai is called Kikan Ju (lit. Machine Gun.) It transforms his Zanpakuto into a sixteen barreled mini gun that fires hardened rounds of Reiryoku at targets.
13th Division, Defensive Tactics & Seireitei Protection
The 13th Division is the ones that actually send out patrols on a daily, frequent basis to survey Seireitei. If a threat occurs, they find and take care of it, sometimes with help from other divisions. They also work together with various divisions. If a threat is a large enough, the 13th Division is in charge of sending out Shinigami, assembling them, assigning them duties, and other things. Their job is similar to the 10th, except on a smaller basis.
