Chapter 1- How to Get Started
All You Need To Know
What is a Soul Reaper?
A soul reaper is one who governs the flow of souls between the human world and the afterlife. They also fight to protect these souls along with the humans of the world from hollows, souls that have fallen and are forced to eat souls to replace the eternal emptiness .
Why Catch and Train a Soul Reaper?
There are several reasons to catch and train a soul reaper:
1.) Soul reapers offer protection from hollows, menos, and espadas.
2.) Soul repers will guide you to the afterlife when you die.
3.) It's hard to be bullied when kids get the crap kicked out of them by "nothing" when they intend to hurt you.
4.) Soul reapers are almost as awesome as ninjas! Almost.
5.) Some soul reapers will become your best friends.
6.) Soul reapers are "pack beings" meaning, they are better with more.
7.) Some soul reapers can heal you.
8.) Just being able to say you have your own soul reaper makes you cool.
9.) There are several different kinds, so you can pick one or more that suits you.
10.) You can do epic Soul Reaper Battles with your friends.
How do I start?
To start you must find, catch, and train your first soul reaper. As you are just starting out, the suggested soul reaper level is Beginner Reapers.
What is a Beginner Reaper?
A Beginner Reaper is the lowest level of reaper possible. These reapers are fairly easy to locate, capture, and train. However, they are quite weak.
How do I Catch my first Soul Reaper?
After locating a soul reaper, you must challenge your soul reaper to a Trainer's Mastering.
What is a Trainer's Mastering(TM) ?
A Trainer's Mastering is the first step in catching a soul reaper. A Trainer's Mastering is initiated when a trainer calls out, "Trainer's Mastering, Commence!" Once the TM has commenced, the trainer must battle the soul reaper on his own, or using one of his already mastered soul reapers. A soul reaper is officialy caught when a Shinigami's Collar is wrapped around their neck successfully.
What is a Shinigami's Collar?
A Shinigami's Collar is like a contract. It binds the soul reaper to its trainer. Shingami's Collars can only be removed by the trainer.
How It Comes Together
Let's give an example of a proper Trainer's Mastering:
1.) Trainer Mimi finds a wild Hanataro Yamada.
2.) She calls out "Trainer's Mastering, Commence!"
3.) Trainer Mimi attacks the Hanataro with a tree branch.
4.) Hanataro is knocked unconscious.
5.) Trainer Mimi straps a Shinigami's Collar around his neck.
6.) Hanataro Yamada is caught!
7.) Hanataro now belongs to his trainer Mimi.
