Cycle of Life
As many of you are well aware, there is a distinct method of evolution as a soul. Most basically, it details a soul's progress and evolution by being affected by various factors when a character dies or even just advancing to the next stage.
Humans
By default, humans have the widest range of options for when they die.
Spirit:
The first step for a human when they die, they will become what's known as a Plus, aka an average spirit. While in this form, majority of their stats and previous abilities will be locked away, having only base stats of 30. While they can see spirits around them and interact, their spiritual power remains relatively low. Should they have regrets or be clinging to something of their previous life, they will either be sent to Soul Society by a Shinigami's Konso or eventually turn into a monster if the regret is great enough, becoming a target for hungry Hollows, those spirits who have become corrupted. If they pass away properly, they will arrive at Soul Society, becoming a resident of the Rukongai district. Further training will reawakened the lost stats and begin the process into a Shinigami by joining the academy.
(Evolution into Shinigami from Rukongai citizen will be initiated through specific event thread)
Demi-Hollow:
Demi-Hollows are human spirits who have had such an attachment to the world of the living, they have begun the first stages of progress into a hollow. A hole in their chest have begun to appear, steadily pulled by their Chain of Fate which binds them to a designated location. As the hole widens, they soon begin the transformation into a hollow.
(Will be initiated through a specific evolution event thread)
Hollow:
Either becoming a corrupted soul through the slow process of evolving from a Demi Hollow or the faster process of being corrupted by other Hollows, the human soul has begun the process into a new matter of being. A mask will obscure their facial profile and eliminate any traces of their previous lives while a hole opens in their heart, symbolizing the hole made from their regrets.
Hollows
Hollows are the tainted souls of those who were once human, occasionally a Visored who has lost themselves to their inner hollow may make their way back to that of a Hollow. Possessing a mask and a hole in their heart, they are bent on their previous life's regrets and fuel the regret by feeding.
Gillian:
The first step after becoming a simple Hollow, is that of the first class of the Menos, the strongest of the hollows. Possessing towering frames of black robes, and long masks, the Gillians are but a mass of cannabalistic hollows having taken a form. While appearing as a single being, the Gillian has an abnormal amount of hollows struggling for control of the behemoth, while feeding the hole that still remains where its heart is.
Adjucha
As a Gillian eats enough and a single soul exerts their will above the others, the will evolve into a new form, that of the Adjucha. Having been concentrated into a smaller more compact form, the Adjucha has a single mind ruling over the other hollows it is comprised of, while still feeding to further its evolution.
Vasto Lorde:
As the Adjucha consumes souls, its form will then evolve to the next stage, that of a Vasto Lorde. Vasto Lorde are rare among Hueco Mundo and remain the strongest of the natural Hollow evolutions. Possessing more humanoid forms over the beastly Adjuchas, the Vasto Lorde is more intelligent than the others, though the mask and hole still remains as does the insatiable hunger. In order to become a Vasto Lorde from an Adjucha, 100 NPC hollows must be eaten and the hollow must possess a minimum of 200 Affinity.
Arrancar:
Adjucha and Vasto Lorde have all regained some form of intelligent thought back. In an effort to better themselves, the will attempt to remove their masks and seal away their Hollow abilities in the form of zanpaktous. By doing so, they will regain a human form similar to their existence as souls, but will still possess their hollow hole somewhere across their bodies. The change into an Arrancar brings back their original intelligence and typically erases the hunger that consumed them as hollows. In order to begin the change into an Arrancar, one must possess 200 Reiryoku and under go a event thread to remove the mask.
Shinigami
Shingami are the balancers of the world, making sure hollows are exterminated and human spirits properly pass over to Soul Society.
There are a couple of ways Shinigami may evolve or devolve.
Hollowfication:
As some Shinigami have begun tampering with the lines between them and hollows, the presence of Hollow spiritual power within them soon grows. By experiencing the rise of an inner hollow and the awakening of hollow reiryoku, the Shinigami will then be classified as a Visored, and be cast from Soul Society. They will then be responsible for controlling the inner Hollow. Should they fail in controlling it, the hollow will consume them and they will become Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde based on their power level. (Initiated through special event thread)
Reincarnation:
Should a Shinigami die, they will be wiped of the memories of their previous lives as shinigami, and be revived in the form of a human. As such, their stats will be cut in half upon being reincarnated.
Visored
The Visored are a group of Shinigami who can gain access to hollow powers due to the inclusion of Hollow reiryoku inside them. The only method for a Visored to change is to underestimate their inner hollow and then be consumed by it, becoming either an Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde based on their power.
