Here is a guide to becoming a Shinigami. It is going to be a work in progress, along with the game, so bare with me.
Updates- Exact boosts of Shikai.
- Exact boosts of Bankai.
- Exact boosts of Vaizard.
- Other knowledge I may learn.
F.A.QWhat is a Shinigami?- A shinigami is a soul reaper, or death god, that sends souls into the afterlife and banishes hollows.
How do I become a shinigami?- Follow this guide and all knowledge will be bestowed upon thee.
Why did you decide to make this?- Because I should be an Admin...

But seriously, I've helped out over half of the people on the game with common questions, and I've escorted people to the Shinigami Trainer about 30 - 40 times.
