Bleach d20 Supplement - Xeno-Bleach
There will be new sub races, feats, and rules for playing characters who might be from a different universe, one who has
a brush with another world; perhaps meeting one of the Officer from no Squad, or playing a character who might visit multiple
worlds yourself.
Discussion of the Multiverse
Look at the world around you. Look at everything you are, and everything that you will ever be. Your reality is defined by the
universe you're in. In this world, this reality, the concept of Super powers and Anime abilities are foreign, relegated to the manga,
comic-books and screens (Big, little, etc).

That's NOT a small chance, even though it is. That means, there would be 32,000 people in the Bleach World with active spiritual
powers. This is not including Shinigami, Hollow or created beings such as the filler arc beings like Bounto and Reigai. That
means, there's a relatively decent chance you would have some sort of spiritual power.
That is the nature of this book. It explores that very concept. Concepts like;
These are just some of the questions that we're going to look at today. We'll
start small, don't worry. Sub-race feats and prestige paths. Then we'll work our
way into alternate worlds with designates such as Bleach: Kubo, Bleach: Toei
and Bleach: Hiroshima. Then, we'll introduce you to those that walk the
multiverse, preventing incursions (No, not the Marvel ones...) that threaten
universes, and keeping insanely powerful beings from running amok. Lastly,
we'll give you information on creating your own alternate universe settings.
What you had for breakfast might have a minuscule effect on your timeline, but,
if Confederate General George Pickett decided to clear fencing before charging
Union troops during the 3rd day of the Battle of Gettysburg, well.. we might have
a very different world.
One in which the United States and the Confederate States live in a strange
cold war peace, and one in which, without all our current resources, a world
where a certain mustached monster was a lot more successful.
That's just one example of what's known as The Butterfly Effect, the theory that
minute localized change in a complex system can have large, unintended
effects elsewhere. It's ironic then that this phenomena is named after a creature
so important to the Bleach mythos, the humble butterfly. An allegory everyone
knows “A butterfly flutters it's wings in California causing a hurricane in Florida.”
Setting up the Basics
First things first. Let's get some terminology out of the way. There are several things that need to be clarified before we can move
along into this book.
What is the difference between a Universe and a Timeline? For this, we need to look at things logically. A timeline is the
accumulation of events chronologically that have occurred in your universe. The events happen in this 4th dimension, and it is the
logical 4th dimension in which we live after height, width and depth. In our universe everything has all four of these things.
A universe on the other hand, contains these dimensions and is thus not one. The Timeline is the events that happen in your
universe, the Universe is where the Timeline is contained. If this doesn't make sense, let me say it another way.
The example here is Dragon Ball. There are 12 Universes, each distinguished by differing characters, both heroic, villainous et
al. But, Trunks' world is not considered a different universe from core Goku's. It's a separate timeline, where events took a
different path, but the major players are the same (Goku, Vegeta, etc), because Goku didn't have access to medication that
Trunks provided.
That timeline, then became two timelines when Trunks originally came back with the Android Off Button and Cell awakened and
killed him, then became yet another set of two timelines when Goku Black began his reign of terror. There is also Dragon Ball
GT, which is yet another timeline. Here's a visual breakdown
Timeline Description
Timeline 1 (History of Trunks beginning) No Future Trunks, no Heart Medicine, Goku dies of the Heart Virus, everyone
dies, Bulma, Gohan and Baby Trunks are last survivors, Gohan dies letting Trunks go Ssj, allowing him to travel
to the past
Timeline 2 (Cell's Origin) Trunks returns to the past, gets the android off button, returns to the future and is killed by Cell
who travels back in time to become perfect.
Timeline 3 (Dragon Ball Z Episode 194, Dragon Ball Z Manga Chapters 225-226) Cell, traveling to the past changes
Trunks' goals slightly so that he stays and trains, becoming stronger than his androids and his imperfect Cell,
saving his own life and preventing Cell from going back from that timeline.
Timeline 4 (Dragon Ball GT) Beerus stays sealed or dead due to Kibitokai never defusing, thus Super Saiyajin God never
appears. This is the timeline of Super Saiyajin 4 and Dragon Ball GT. With no Beerus waking up, Super Saiyajin
God never appears, thus Zamasu never meets Goku, thus Goku Black never becomes a threat.
Timeline 5 (Dragon Ball Super) Kibito and Supreme Kai defuse using the Dragon Balls, reviving Beerus. Beerus awakens
spurring on the Super Saiyajin God legend. Zamasu fights Goku, then steals his body, thus causing the Zamasu
Massacre and causing Trunks to come back again to get help stopping him.
Timeline 6 (Dragon Ball Super Zamasu Edition) Zamasu uses Super Dragon Balls to become immortal instead of stealing
Goku's body. He and Black kill everyone with Black's stolen Goku body. Intersects with Timeline 5.
Alternate Timeline: As observed above, an alternate timeline, is a timeline, still contained in one universe where a choice went two ways and
each became a series of differeing events.
Alternate Universe: As observed above, an alternate universe is a universe within a singular multiverse that observes the same base rules, but
has different main personalities. In this example, Goku and Vegeta of universe 7 are replaced with Jiren and Toppo of universe 11.
A Multi-Verse, for our context, is a conglomeration of similar universes. Using the example above, the 12 universes of Dragon Ball comprise the
Dragon Ball Multiverse (Despite the fan manga of the same name, they are an example of 21 different timelines of Universe 7's origin).
A Parallel World is different than an Alternate Universe or Alternate Timeline in that it exists coterminous (along side) to other worlds,and is
thus just another dimension within one universe. An example of this is that Soul Society and the World of the Living and Hueco Mundo are all
separate Parallel Worlds within the same universe and can be accessed in various methods without leaving the universe in question.
Alternate Multi-Verse: When you find an alternate universe where the rules are vastly different, this is part of an alternate multi-verse. An
example of this is finding someone using a Bankai in a world dominated by Dragon Ball rules.
Omni-verse: This is the totality of reality and creation. No creature thus presented has the power to effect this level of energy. This
encompasses all rules and realities, all timelines and universes all multiverses and thoughts.
The Meta-Cosmos: This is the space in between universes, dimensions, timelines and multi-verses. It is the fabric of the Omni-verse. It
contains substances that have the unique power to shape reality around it, and is the birthplace of new ideas and new universes.
Sub-Races: Core Races
The following sub-races supplement all others. They are for the core races as presented in Bleach canon.
