Bleach x Fate

In Bleach, when a human dies, their soul goes to the Soul Society or becomes a Hollow. Shinigami are responsible for purifying Hollows and guiding souls.

In Fate, the souls of heroes, legends, and transcendent historical figures do not go to the Soul Society. They are claimed by the Throne of Heroes, a plane outside of normal time, to be summoned as Servants.

Main conflict:
The Shinigami consider summoning a Servant a grave violation of the reincarnation cycle. For the Gotei 13, Servants are "unauthorized runaway souls" walking the world of the living. This creates immediate diplomatic and military tension between the Soul Society and the mage guilds.

The Mages, for their part, see the Shinigami as an unknown spiritual organization that interferes with their rituals and with the Holy Grail.

Main Layer (90% of the RPG):

• Average Shinigami from Lieutenant to Captain
• Starting from a medium-high level
• Standard Servants of a Holy Grail War (Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, Berserker)
• Competent magicians

In this layer, the battles are evenly matched and highly competitive. Examples:

• Artoria (Saber) vs Byakuya
• Cú Chulainn vs Renji or Ikkaku
• Gilgamesh vs Starrk or a tall Espada
• Ichigo (before his final transformations) vs High Rank Servants

Final Layer / Campaign Bosses:

• Aizen (Hogyoku)
• Yhwach (The Almighty)
• Goetia
• Tiamat
• Other Beasts or planetary entities

These beings only appear when history reaches the brink of total collapse. They don't just walk down the street casually.

The RPG begins at a point where both stories are in their early-mid stage:

• In Bleach: Ichigo has already awakened his Shinigami powers, but the invasion of the Soul Society and the Thousand-Year Blood War have not yet occurred. The Espada exist, and Aizen is making his moves.

• In Fate: A Holy Grail War in the style of Fate/Zero or Fate/Stay Night is underway (or about to begin) in a Japanese city. The Masters and Servants are active.

Both worlds overlap in the same Japan. The spiritual currents of the Soul Society and the fissures of the Heroes' Throne begin to interfere with each other.

Magician associations (especially the London and Fuyuki magicians) noticed that there were unknown "spiritual agents" (Shinigami) interfering in their rituals and hunting Hollows that they considered minor resources or threats.

A Holy Grail War is underway or about to begin. Servants sense the powerful spiritual presence of the Shinigami, and some perceive them as potential Masters or as threats.

The Soul Society detected anomalies: souls of great power that do not belong to the normal cycle and are being summoned by humans.

The Gotei 13 sent an investigation. Some captains see it as a high-class threat, others as a matter involving human mages that shouldn't involve them just yet.
