I have a player who really wanted to play as a bount out of the gate. So we're a few levels in and she wants to move her character to a fullbringer focus (I think she really wants to dual-wield her weapon doll and something else).
Mechanically this is no problem (take 5 levels of outcast and you're off, plus you would get the weakest Outcast penalty ever "Oh no! Those six other guys won't call me any more? Drats."). My question is more from a Bleach universe type of view... is that a ludicrous concept?
i.e. When another player in a different campaign said he wanted his hollow character to "Outcast" to Quincy I said, "Fine, but you are telling me one hell of a story that involves a Quincy Hogyoku (Quogyoqu?)." and gently steered him to the Cazador prp instead when he balked at my invitation to story-time. The initial idea just seemed a bit too silly to contemplate.
In this case, I don't know enough about Bounts/Fullbringers to know if this is equally ludicrous. From what cursory research I have done I have garnered that...
1. Fullbring users had parents attacked by hollows pre-conception, and can perform fullbring after "attaching" themselves to a certain important object.
2. Bounts are modified souls based off soul reapers initially used for immortality experiments that were mistakenly dumped into the re-incarnation cycle
and were born as immortal quasi-vampires to human parents.
So it seems plausible that a bount character has a human parent who was attacked by a hollow and at some point in their extended lifespan learns to fullbring. You're hitting the genetic jackpot there, sure, but Ichigo alone sets plenty of in world precedent for that.
But again, my knowledge is essentially limited to what Google tells me on these bount matters so if this is an emphatic "ridiculous" I was hoping someone here could give me a quick heads up as to the concept's viability in the spirit of the Bleach "world".
