Here on Bleach Chronicles we use a system that gives a character a Class of power. It's separated into seven tiers from E Class to X Class. Here are all the Classes with descriptions:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
All spiritual beings need to have a starting point, and this is it. At this level, humans are able to see spiritual beings, either as light shimmers, or as full blown creatures. At this level's strongest, abilities like Don Kanonji's could be used. This class of character is usually humans with no or very faint spiritual abilities, newly born spirits in Seireitei, or spirits with no abilities, and lesser-Hollows. An E-Class Hollow cannot become an Arrancarr.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point, Shinigami are in the academy. They're learning their standards and the basics of Zanjutsu, Hakud and Kido as well as beginning practice in Hoho though they are not skilled enough at the very start to use it in battle.
Hollows of this level can begin using the Cero technique, though it is still very weak by comparison to stronger Hollows. A D-Class Hollow still cannot become an Arrancarr.
Bount in this category are ones that have either never summoned their doll or have obtained it within the last week. The race is very fragile at this point and not much different from an academy level shinigami aside from their doll, though they are above normal humans in regards to their physical strength.
Humans have awakened to their powers and begun to see spirits passively, their powers are still infant however and as such are unreliable at best and very draining. At this stage, releasing a Humans Spirit from their body offers no advantages, in addition their Soul Chain is still visible.
Mod Souls are by default at least D-Class. Due to the unique purpose of Mod Souls, they are treated as a C-Class when fighting against Hollows.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
At this level, a Shinigami is out of the Academy and able to use higher-than-beginner level kido and can use Hoho in battle. A Shinigami of this calibur might have even learned the name of their Zanpakuto and have the capability of using their Shikai.
Hollows of this level are starting to become a true threat to the World of the Living, capable of taking on even a Shinigami's Shikai though if they are weaker than said Shinigami it will be a very hard fought uphill battle. Hollows of this calibur have likely ascended to Gillian form and gained the Negacion ability. C-Class Hollows may become Arrancarrs.
Bount in this category have had their doll for a good amount of time and know how to use it effectively in battle. Utilizing not only their doll but perhaps Bount Seals a near equivelant to a Shinigami's kido. It should be noted that a Bount on this level has devoured a large amount of souls.
Humans of C-Class have begun to get a good grasp on their powers, able to summon them at will and capable of superhuman feats. At this stage a human still requires an item to release their spirit from their body, in addition their Soul Chain is still attached to their body.
Mod Souls of this class have mastered their powers and can take on a B-Class Hollow as if they themselves were B-Class. Due to the unique nature of Arrancarrs, Mod Souls are treated as their current rank.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
At this level, You're much stronger then the average Shinigami, Able to keep up with other beings of this level and able to easily keep track of the movements of most under you. While you aren't able to always keep up wtih a Captain at this level and would most likely still get destroyed by one in battle, You're at least able to put up a fight. At this level you've definitely Mastered your Shikai to it's fullest extent and it cannot be modified or altered further. At this level, you may begin training to attempt your Bankai Trial.
By this point a Hollow has become a very serious threat, practically demanding the attention of Lieutenants and potentially Captains. At this stage a Hollow has ascended to his Adjuchas form. A B-Class Hollow may attempt the Vasto Lorde Trial.
Bount on this level are much stronger than before as they utilize Reishi, Bount Seals and their doll in battle with ease. At this level one may begin working on their merged form, a fusion of the doll and Bount on the level of bankai though it will be far from mastered at this stage.
Humans of this level are almost unheard of, having grown to almost complete mastery over their own powers. Humans of this level are finally a true threat to any spiritual being. At this stage a human still requires an item to release their spirit from their body, in addition their Soul Chain is still attached to their body.
Mod Souls of this rank have begun augmenting their own body, meaning each one is wholly unique. Mod Souls of B-Class may take on Adjuchas-Class hollows of A-Rank as if they themselves were A-Rank. Due to the unique nature of Arrancarrs, Mod Souls are treated as their current rank.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
At this level, You've already attained Bankai and have become very proficient if not Mastered in it. Shinigami of this calibur can outclass even a Menos Grande and can take on an Adjuchas-class hollow with a decent shot at winning.
A hollow at this stage is very dangerous, Only Adjuchas-class Hollows may attain this rank and as such can be fatal for even a Lieutenant to fight on their own. Hollows of this class that have not become an Arrancarr may attempt their Vasto Lorde trial. A Vasto Lorde at this class may attempt their Segunda Etapa trial.
Bount at this level can match most captains on equal ground through their use of wide skills and partnership with their doll. At this level one could expect to see a mastered merged form as they reach full maturity with their powers much like a shinigami mastering all aspects of their zanpaktou.
A Human of this class is almost unheard of without hyper specialized training and items, they have completely mastered their powers and likely have several items that augment their material body. A Human of A-Rank is considered B-Rank while their spirit is locked within their body. At this stage a human may release their own spirit from their body to fight unrestricted, in addition their Soul Chain is extremely difficult to destroy by anything less than a fully realized Bankai. At this point a Human may take their Spiritual Ascension Trial, allowing them to attain the S-Class as well as their True Release.
Mod Souls of this stage have complete mastery over their own body and powers, having made major alterations to their own body in an attempt to improve their capabilities of fighting against Hollows. A Mod Soul of this stage is likely to catch the scent of the Soul Society and as such is likely to be targeted with extreme prejudice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point for Shinigami's you are beginning to become a Master in everything and can finally begin work on learning how to unlock your ultimate Technique, The Final Bankai. Do keep in mind, Whilst your Final Bankai is probably more powerful than anything else, It retains the same effects that the Final Getsuga Tenshou has. It WILL drain you of all spiritual power and have the same exact effects and stages that the Final Getsuga Tenshou had on Ichigo.
This CANNOT BE STARTED WITH and MUST be attained ICly even if you are the Faction Leader. A Shinigami of this level is able to outclass an Adjuchas with complete ease and at least hold their own against a Vasto Lorde and, If their cards are played right, Defeat it. At this level, Your Bankai is complete and at it's fullest strength.
Hollows of this level are neigh unheard of. They have either ascended to becoming a Vasto Lorde, the most powerful form a Hollow can possibly take, or are an extremely powerful Arrancarr with full control over their own release. Hollows of this class are never to be taken lightly, as a Vasto Lorde can quite easily kill a Captain on its own.
Bount at this level are nearly one of a kind, powerful beings that are both old and stock with more souls than most hollow species as they have taken to devouring them as well. A Bount on this level has reached the pinnacle of power usually through advanced age and training or what is called a 'permanent' fusion.
Humans of this class are unheard of without hyper specialized training and items made specifically to augment the Reiryoku of a human to far superior heights. Humans of this class have received their True Release and as such gain 2 additional Release Technique Slots that are far more powerful than any of their other techniques.
Mod Souls of this class are at a point where their body can no longer be modified, and as such must undergo their Embodiment Release trial to proceed any further in power.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A Shinigami at X-Class has a fully realized Bankai and likely has their Final Bankai. They are among the most powerful things in existence and are exceedingly rare to attain without several hundred years of hard training. X-Class is exceedingly difficult to get too even if you're a Faction Leader and takes a LOT of dedication and hard work. Everything MUST be Mastered and you must prove ICly that your character is ready to become this powerful. A Shinigami who wishes to attain this rank must have fought, and killed, at least one Vasto Lorde.
At this point, You have ascended to become either a Vasto Lorde Arrancarr, or have had extreme help via an item such as the Hogyoku. A Hollow of this stage typically requires the entirety of the Gotei 13 Captains to respond immediately upon detection. Hollows of this stage can not only destroy entire cities just with their Reiatsu alone, but a Vasto Lorde Arrancarr has access to their Segunda Etapa, an extremely powerful fully realized version of their Ressurection. Adjuchas-Class and lower Arrancarr cannot obtain this rank without the use of an extremely powerful item such as the Hogyoku.
A Bount on this level is unheard of except in legend. Only through utilizing many secrets of the race and their ghastly origins to create a Jokai Crest. A literal battery of power that resonates with only the power of a Bount strong enough to tap into it, this item will merge with their body and grant them immense power reserves to put them on par with the legends of soul society, even the Captain Commander. Once this crest has been crafted and fused with the Bount they attain this rank, however the true power of it is to grant an allpowerful form entitled the Jokai-Demon. A Jokai-Demon form unleashes all the souls that the Bount has devoured in their entire life into one empowerment to rival even that of a Final Bankai as the Bount gains enough power to destroy all but an equal opponent in their path, after it has been used the Bount suffers the same downfall as a shinigami would after using Final Bankai and their doll shatters. This is the one instance where a shattering of a doll completely will not kill a bount.
A Human of this level is impossible without the use of a Hogyoku and full mastery over their True Release. Such Mastery requires yet another trial as the human eliminates their physical body in favor of an entirely spiritual one. This trial kills the Humans physical body and severs their Soul Chain permanently. The Human then has 10 posts to overcome this trial or they become an uncontrolled Vasto Lorde X-Class Hollow controlled by the Staff that rampages across wherever they are until killed.
A Mod Soul of this level has released themselves from their pill entirely, having overcome their Embodiment Release trial. A Mod Soul of this level retains all prior upgrades to their form, however are more akin to a Plus Soul than a Mod Soul. A Mod Soul of this level may also now apply 2 further enhancements to their Spiritual Body, these enhancements are far more powerful than any before and only available to Mod Souls that have attained this rank.
