Before the Cosmos, Dimensions, & Realms, there was the Soul Palace, with the Soul King & his Family living there. Only Known by his Wife, 5 Sons, 3 Daughters, & 2 brothers, they all lived within the Palace walls. This King had brought to the existence of Light, & warmth to all, & he ruled for over 1000 years. He was the eldest brother of the 3 of them, after his reign he allowed the middle brother to create & rule, & this brother had brought the existence of cold & darkness, for a mere 200 years the middle brother ruled & forged his energy with his elder brothers energy, then stepped down for the youngest of the 3 brothers to rule, for a tiny 20 years the youngest brother created the existence of life & love, & with the combined efforts of the 3 brothers created the Cosmos, & the different dimensions. Each brother had their own skills & strengths, the Eldest Brother, the Soul King was superior in power & compassion, the middle brother had more talent in being logical & tactical, while the youngest brother was gifted in charisma & understanding. Unlike the elder brothers the Youngest chose to live among the mortals, & have an existence among the living people of the universes the 3 brothers created, & even more so dying as a mortal would. Thus the youngest brother was the 1st being to pass on unto another realm, & he founded this new realm & named it the Soul Society, where he gave meaning to the departed in the afterlife. In this Realm the Youngest brother modelled it to honor his eldest brother the Soul King, & even gifted the Soul King his very first name: Jinsei Nikko, meaning life's sunlight. In return the King named his youngest brother: Shiryobukai Yogensha "the understanding Prophet" with the middle brother getting the name: Kage Shikon, meaning the shadow fang. Nearly 100 years later its now a common thing for the living to pass on unto the Soul Society, & human or living souls that do not pass on to the Soul Society turn into vengeful monstrous creatures that eat the living souls, now named Hollows becuase they have holes in their chest where their soul chain should be or once was. Thus the order of Death Gods becoming very necessary for the cycles of life & death to be maintained. To maintain these cycles of life a soul must be purified if hollowfied, by destroying the hollows mask with a weapon forged from the wielders soul, & a non hollowfied soul can be purified by focusing the power of the soul of a death god & the pummel of their weapon directly on the willing to be departed Soul. Doing this for a spirit allows them to pass on to the Soul Society. If an evil living being is needed to be punished they are sent to Hell, where they will spend a century paying for their misdeeds, if a monster being dies they are judged to be either good or evil, if evil they are sent to Purgatory, if deemed good they are allowed into the Soul Society. In addition any souls that die within the Soul Society will then be born again in the living realm, but only if they die naturally, or by a weapon forged from a soul. However if a Soul has been eaten by a hollow that soul dies & passes on unto Hueco Mundo, where they become a hollow until they are killed properly by a soul weapon to be reborn among the living once again. If a Hollow dies any other way that being will be born again as a Hollow, or a Demon. A Hollow can be born a demon if they die unnaturally in the living realm or in soul society, but if they die anywhere else they are reborn in Hueco Mundo. Shiryobukai Yogensha then had 2 Sons, Eldest named Genjaku Fusabakka, & the Youngest named Genryosai Yogensha. Genjaku was very powerful in utilizing his soul into a pure white bow & launching endless amounts of arrows at hollows eradicating them entirely, forcing their soul to travel to a random realm, except the soul society, thus naming himself the 1st Quincy meaning: Priest of Light & Justice. While Genjaku was making a name for himself among the living humans, Genryosai was learning how to forge a weapon from his soul as well, with the help of the guardians of the Soul Palace Genryosai forged the very first Zanpakutou, a weapon made from his soul. This new weapon took Genryosai nearly 500 years to master it & become one with it, deeming him the 1st Soul Reaper, in the process he made an organization called the Gotei 13, & an academia to teach souls in the soul society to exercise hollows to help the cycles of life stay balanced, while his elder brother taught the living world how to kill monsters, demons & hollows mercilessly. Genryosai was titled Captain General of the Gotei 13, while his elder brother was named Quincy King. In the chaos of life & death gaining new meanings, the Soul King passes, causing the 3 Sons to fight for power, the new Ruler of everything was named to keep the order until 1 of the sons can be named, the new Soul Goddess, mother of the sons widow of the soul king, in her rule she named rulers of the other dimensions to keep her sons from taking over everything, Lucifer of Hell, Purgatory King, & King of Hueco Mundo were all titled & selected to rule of the corresponded realms. The Soul Goddess then gave herself a name: Aino Hoshi. King of Hueco Mundo: Kage Shikon King of Purgatory: Mei Shundo Queen/Lucifer of Hell: Lillian Shikon King of the Quincy: Genjaku from the day the Soul Goddess named their titles each ruler has been forming an army to make attempts to take over the Soul Palace, for the next (2nd) War of the Realms
