Cast List/Character Equivalent:

Leaders and Allies of the Republic of Seiretei:

Byakuya= Caesar, soldier, senator, dictator, conqueror, a man of many hats

Renji= Titus Labienus (who historically changes sides after the Gallic wars to serve Pompey), a lieutenant under Caesar (who for my purposes does not defect)

Hisana= Cornelia, Caesar's first wife, died in childbirth

Ichigo= Marc Antony (it will make sense why later, have no fear, this is Ichiruki), trusted lieutenant, tribune, and later Triumvir

Koga= Pompey, at one time Caesar's fellow Triumvir, now turned rival, on the run to Egypt after his army is defeated

Unohana= Calpurnia, Caesar's 3rd wife

Yamamoto= Apollonius of Rhodes who taught Caesar

Aizen= a combo of Brutus and Octavian, the antagonist, a trusted senator who has many political and unscrupulous agendas

Gin= Cassius, a conspirator and ally of Brutus

Chad= a warrior captured in Spain who Ichigo recruits

Tatsuki= a warrior woman from Cyrene (what the Greeks might call an Amazon) taken to Seiretei as a slave and is now a famous gladiator

Rangiku= a warrior woman from Gaul, taken as a slave to Seiretei and now living as a freed servant to Toshirou

Toshirou= a prince of sorts, one of the last of the pureblood Etrusci (Etruscan) families, he does not take part in politics, but his council is still sought

Kyoroku= a patrician aedile, a wealthy man who oversees public festivals and supports gladiatorial games and theatre, also a senator for my purposes

Ukitake= a senator, whose loyalty is to justice and not so specifically the Republic

Leaders and Allies of Alexandria (Egypt):

Cleopatra: Unknown

Rukia= Julia (a name given to both of Caesar's sisters as well as his daughter) Caesar's sister sent to court in Alexandria as a child (which is creative license), now a lady and handmaiden under the queen

Urahara= Apollodorus, the queen's confidante, a mysterious man who makes a lucrative living as a pirate

Yoruichi= a demi-goddess in disguise as a temple cat

Orihime= Charmian, the queen's trusted handmaiden

Uryu= a Greek scholar employed by the palace, who despises Seiretei

Isshin= Olympus, the queen's physician and advisor

Note: There are only a few historical figures who will not be equated with any of the cast- just as there are Bleach characters who will simply be themselves, fitted into the storyline as friends and allies to either Egypt or Seiretei (I just may not have made mention of all yet)

As for the historical figures I will simply weave them into the story and then provide notes at the beginning or the end of the chapter about their significance.

I am working on the first chapter, which will hopefully be out soon- and not too terribly long (don't hold your breath on that one- but wish me luck).

Thanks!
