Line #34 FanFic/CosgrovesBleachQuest


1	Take ''Anime/{{Bleach}}''. Subtract editors. Add 4chan. Mix well and sprinkle with bad dice rolls at the worst times, social links, mystery box powers, and Ichigo being the biggest CluelessChickMagnet the world has ever seen. What you'll come up with is ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10594266/1/Bleach-Quest Bleach Quest]]'', a ForumQuest GM'd by Cosgrove.
2
3	It all begins when Ichigo Kurosaki fights a group of delinquents for a little ghost girl. Now, this is easy. It took him about a page in canon. Here, he screws it up. In fact, he screws up so badly that he actually dies, and has to become a Shinigami to bring himself back, much to Rukia's shock. It all spirals more out of control from there, as enemies are forced to step up their game, filler arcs aren't waiting for pauses in canon, and events twist and turn unexpectedly.
4
5	Join Ichigo Kurosaki and his motley band of his school friends, Shinigami, and miscellaneous supernatural beings as they blunder into the middle of a centuries old conspiracy and proceed to cause massive upheaval because you do not mess with the TrueCompanions.
6
7	Not to be confused with the other ''FanFic/BleachQuest''.
8
9	! Tropes
10	* AboveTheInfluence: Ichigo refuses to take advantage of Hinamori's distraught state [[spoiler: after being Hollowified by Aizen]].
11	* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Chizuru's parents all but abandoned her when she came out as a lesbian.
12	* AdaptationalBadass:
13	** Ichigo's school friends get Fullbringer powers and join the TrueCompanions. [[spoiler: Chizuru also gets the Hogyoku implanted in her and becomes the Demi-Fiend.]]
14	** Ichigo himself gets a lot of his ridiculous power far earlier on in the story.
15	* AdaptationalHeroism: Harribel, her Fracciones, Starrk, and Lilynette never end up serving Aizen because Ichigo gets there first. He also manages to talk Neliel away from Aizen's service.
16	* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: The Hogyoku is evil and ends up controlling Aizen.]]
17	* AscendedExtra:
18	** All of Ichigo's human friends, but Chizuru especially, as she and Ichigo bond and become quite the HeterosexualLifePartners (or Homosexual Life Partners, in Chizuru's case). [[spoiler: She's also the first host of the Hogyoku, and fights it with Ichigo.]]
19	** Momo Hinamori is sent to bring in Ichigo, [[spoiler: is hollowified by Aizen, turns into a Visored with Ichigo's help, becomes a LoveInterest, and is the one being rescued in the Soul Society arc, instead of Rukia.]]
20	* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Fairly common. [[spoiler: Momo vs. Her Inner Hollow and Chizuru and Ichigo vs. the Hogyoku are two prominent ones.]]
21	* BreakTheCutie: Poor Momo is betrayed by Aizen in an even worse manner than in canon- [[spoiler: she's given a hollowification agent and sent to Ichigo as an unwitting suicide bomber.]]
22	* CollidingCriminalConspiracies: The events of the Soul Society arc, the [[spoiler: Zanpakuto Rebellion Arc]], and the first movie end up happening at roughly the same time.
23	* CombatPragmatist: Ichigo knocks out Hitsugaya with a sucker punch after the latter is distracted by Chizuru.
24	* DemotedToExtra: Rukia doesn't get her powers stolen and leaves for Soul Society.
25	* EpicFail: Happens on occasion. The story actually began when a series of bad dice rolls leads to Ichigo dying against a random street gang.
26	* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Yoruichi is apparently on Aizen's side.]]
27	* HeelFaceTurn: Neliel does one when Ichigo explains that Aizen's a bad guy. [[spoiler: Aizen himself seems to have done one, and is serving as Ichigo's SpiritAdvisor while his body is under the control of the Hogyoku.]]
28	* LetsSplitUpGang: The group splits into two to investigate the two places [[spoiler: Hinamori]] might have been taken. Uryuu leads one and gets through the 12th division fairly peacefully, never encountering Mayuri. Ichigo leads the other and ends up encountering Soi Fon and Zaraki, who get a look at his battle prowess and begin fighting over which of their divisions he'd join.
29	* OneTrueThreesome: Eventually, between Ichigo, Momo, and Orihime. [[spoiler: Momo eventually leaves to find her own identity.]]
30	* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler: Chizuru can't control the power of the Hogyoku]], necessitating Ichigo to take [[spoiler: her]] through a Garganta so nothing in the Living World is destroyed.
31	* RunningGag: Not in the story itself, but the players have [=ImprovAizen=] (Aizen, except he isn't actually a [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] and basically everything he caused in the plot was by accident) and Bro!Gin (Aizen's best friend who helps him deal with the consequences of said accidents).
32	** In-story, there's Ichigo failing to sneak properly.
33	* ShoutOut: [[spoiler: Chizuru's mutation by the Hogyoku turns her into, essentially, the [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne Demi-Fiend]].]]
34	* TakeAThirdOption: Whenever possible, Ichigo will do this.
35	* WindsOfDestinyChange: [[spoiler: The Hogyoku]] has the power to swap its own rolls with Ichigo's.
36	* WithCatlikeTread: The result of Ichigo's many failures at stealth rolls.
